Chapter 166 The murderer appears
"Ran Ran, is Madam Feng here?"
At this time, a somewhat hoarse voice was heard.
Wen pulled Feng Ying over and said, "This is Madam Qiao!"
"Ah Ying, this is the Madam Feng I told you about." Wen smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Madam Feng's given name is also Ying."
This Mrs. Qiao is not very pretty, but she is very generous and at first glance she is obviously a capable housekeeper.
Feng Ying's heart skipped a beat. Some people don't like their names to be the same as others. For example, those in high positions would have their subordinates avoid them.
The second sister-in-law said that she had a bad feeling. Could it be that this Qiao was narrow-minded and was afraid to mention her name?
Qiao looked obviously very tired, but her eyes lit up after hearing this: "I didn't expect we would have such a fate. You were introduced by Zhenzhen, so you are our sister. Please come in, don't be polite."
He hasn't done anything bad yet, and doesn't seem to care. I don't know if he will bear a grudge against me later.
Anyway, the disaster cannot be avoided.
Feng Ying followed Li Jidao in.
Mrs. Qiao brought the people to the small flower hall in her yard.
Sitting in the house, I could hear some strange noises outside.
Qiao knelt down and sighed, "Madam Feng, I'll be honest with you. I asked you to come this time because I wanted you to help find Balang's body. You said he was dead, but without the body, many things can't go on."
"There are people outside looking for bodies too."
Li Jidao looked around and frowned slightly. If she was not mistaken, the body was in Chen's house.
This Qiao is not a murderer, but she doesn't look kind. She seems to have taken a life, but she didn't kill anyone. What's going on?
"Aying!" Suddenly a lady ran in: "Aying, come with me, Dalang is vomiting all of a sudden, I don't know what's wrong, the old lady has stopped Doctor Hu, I don't know what to do now."
This woman must have been a beauty, with a good face, but her gray hair made her look ten years older.
Feng Ying thought, he wasn’t calling me.
Qiao stood up quickly and walked out.
Feng Ying looked at Wen curiously.
Wen pulled Feng Ying up, and the two walked forward side by side. Wen whispered, "This is the eldest lady of the Chen family, Guangping Marquis' wife Huang. Unfortunately, she had a bad fate. The Marquis converted early, and she could have had a son to rely on, but the young master went out with his fiancée during the Lantern Festival, and in order to protect his fiancée, he was blown up by fireworks and his body and one eye were damaged."
Feng Ying opened her mouth slightly: "So pitiful?"
Wen nodded: "What's even more pitiful is what happened next. The fiancée broke off the engagement and married Dalang from the third room."
"The third, fourth and fifth wives of the Chen family were all born to the old marquis through his second marriage. Only the eldest and Chen Zhangshi were born to his first wife. Unfortunately, the first wife's son was abandoned, and the second wife's three daughters are about to be completely taken advantage of by the third wife."
That's why this incident happened.
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Huang had a very good relationship. Mrs. Qiao planned to let Chen Dalang inherit both houses, and Mrs. Huang naturally had no objection.
But the old lady who had married again in the Marquis's mansion was still alive. She said that Chen Dalang was useless and asked Qiao to adopt the third wife's child.
But Balang from the third room is already thirteen years old and knows everything. He even likes to dress in fine clothes and ride a horse, and often lingers in the streets of prostitutes.
It is not fertile and there is no need to raise it.
There was no way Mrs. Qiao would agree to this because this matter had already caused a quarrel with the old lady and the third wife.
At this time, Chen Ba died.
The old lady and the third wife naturally suspected Qiao.
The third wife has been looking for witnesses everywhere and wants to frame a wrongful conviction. Qiao asked Feng Ying to come over in order to find the body and clear herself of the charges.
Feng Ying suddenly realized and sighed, "Rich families also have a lot of troubles."
Wen said: "Isn't it all caused by the discord in the backyard? This kind of continuation, where there are masters everywhere, it is better for the concubine to give birth to the child. At least the original wife can suppress them in terms of status..."
Thinking of something, Wen said, "I know you are the one who is being bullied."
Feng Ying's mouth twitched. The thing she regretted most now was marrying a divorced man.
If she could live her life over again, she would rather not get married than marry a divorced man with children.
However, being the original wife does not necessarily mean luck. Madam Chen’s children are still inferior to the children of the second wife.
So, when a woman gets married, it’s like a second life. There are no rules to follow. It all depends on whether she is lucky enough to meet a good person.
Wen also cared about Chen Dalang, so she brought Feng Ying and others with her.
"Da Lang, what's wrong with you?" Ignoring the unpleasant smell in the room, Qiao came close to Chen Da Lang's bed.
Chen Dalang was out of breath and wanted to say something but he vomited again.
A maidservant kept helping to clean up, not letting any dirt stick to Chen Dalang. After cleaning up, the maidservant helped Chen Dalang lie on his side and patted his back, fearing that Chen Dalang would be choked. Her expression of concern was beyond words.
The maid lowered her head slightly, so her face could not be seen clearly, but just by looking at her clean forehead and capable look, one could feel that this girl was extraordinary.
Li Jidao raised his eyebrows: [There is also her aura on the Kongming lantern. She killed the person, and she killed more than one person. The body is in the Kongming lantern, on her body.]
Feng Ying:!!!
How come?
Then what should I do?
Feng Ying looked at the maid with eyes wide open.
Wen noticed Feng Ying's strange behavior and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Feng Ying: “…”
At this time she heard again: [Oh, the Kongming lantern belongs to Yunniang, she and Yunniang are together.]
[But Yunniang didn't kill anyone, what is their relationship? ]
Feng Ying: ? ?
Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now. Isn’t Yunniang my maid? I don’t know whether Yunniang is involved in this. I can’t say anything now.
She should at least ask Yunniang first.
How could this happen?
Li Jidao thought: [Could it be that the uneasiness comes from Yunniang? ]
Feng Ying: ! !
It’s numb. I should have known not to save Yunniang.
But that can't be said. Yunniang served us very well and didn't do anything bad. Why couldn't she be saved?
Anyway, it’s a bit difficult to be a good person in this world.
Qiao asked her servant to take her letter to invite a doctor. She and the Marquis were very concerned about Chen Dalang's health. Qiao asked, "What happened?"
"Ah Xue, you are the one who serves Da Langjun. What did he eat today? Why is this happening?"
That Ah Xue raised her head. She was very pretty, pitiful and lovable, which was somewhat inconsistent with her capable temperament.
Li Jidao frowned slightly.
Ah Xue said, "She didn't eat anything. The eldest son is weak, so I made her some minced beef."
Huang's eyes welled up with tears. She cried, "Don't say anything. It must be that guy who did it. Their own son died, so they want to harm my son."
Qiao raised her hand to comfort Huang and said, "I have discussed with Alang that after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go back to my hometown and bring some of my children back."
