Chapter 312 Find out who the murderer is
What’s more, what about the women in Zhao Xuan’s backyard?
But Gao Wanxin really didn't know who the murderer was. She couldn't figure it out. She had just returned to the Zhao family with her son, so how could someone take the opportunity to kill her?
Gao Wanxin looked at Yier, and that feeling of panic and fear came over her again.
She even wanted to escape with her child.
Yi'er is really too young. If he is not careful, he will really lose his life.
He wouldn't even offer the slightest resistance.
"Sir, I think I should take Yi'er with me. Being called a bastard is better than dying before you grow up."
As Gao Wanxin spoke, tears blurred her eyes. She didn't want to cry, but the tears just kept falling.
Zhao Xuan sighed and reached out to wipe away her tears.
"Don't be afraid, just wait a little longer. When the time is right, I will definitely marry you. I will definitely give you a lot. I also want to compensate you. Over the past few years, you have been with me and gave birth to Yi'er on your own. It has not been easy."
Zhao Xuan's kindness to her was sincere, but could this kindness really help her? Could it protect Yi'er?
Gao Wanxin didn't know either.
But she knew that after this incident, she had to become strong. It was okay to bully her, but it was absolutely not okay to bully her son.
***
After returning to the Zhao family, Zhao Xuan immediately asked someone to call Zhao Lingxi and Zhao Chengliang to come over and interrogate them. Both of them said that the matter had nothing to do with them.
"Dad, no matter how much of a bastard I am, I can't do this. I'm also a father, and I can't bring myself to do this to a child that young."
Zhao Chengliang expressed his attitude first.
Zhao Lingxi glared at her brother and said, "Zhao Chengliang, what do you mean by that? If it wasn't you, then it was me. I don't even know what that little bastard looks like, how could I possibly harm him?"
"I wish he would die quickly, but I didn't kill him..."
Before Zhao Lingxi could finish his words, Zhao Xuan slapped Zhao Lingxi hard in the face.
"Just say that little bastard thing again? He's your brother, just say that again?"
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was angry, Zhao Lingxi was also afraid.
It was really the first time she saw her father so angry.
Zhao Lingxi, who was stunned by the beating, paused for a long time before crying out loudly: "Dad, you hit me, you actually hit me, this is the first time you hit me since I was a child, and it's just because Gao Wanxin gave birth to a son for you, and now you hit me..."
"Get out."
Zhao Xuan didn't want to hit Zhao Lingxi. He had always loved his daughter.
But what she said today was really too much.
Zhao Lingxi was slapped, confined to his house for three months, and his monthly salary was deducted for three months. In addition, Zhao Xuan went to see the old lady and asked her to hire a nanny for Zhao Lingxi to teach him to be more well-behaved and change his temper.
After the morning court session today, he was called by the Queen Mother and asked about the situation of his little daughter Zhao Lingxi.
It looks like he wants his daughter to enter the palace.
Zhao Xuan knew that the little emperor now needed someone to assist him willingly. If Lingxi entered the palace and became a concubine, how could he, as her father-in-law, not wholeheartedly assist the little emperor?
If there really was an imperial decree allowing Lingxi to enter the palace, Zhao Xuan really couldn't stop it.
After all, Lingxi is still unmarried.
If he suddenly found a husband for her, the people in the palace would know about it and would definitely think that he didn't want his daughter to enter the palace and that's why he found a husband so quickly and casually, which would offend the people in the palace. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Xuan felt that it would be better to let Lingxi prepare to enter the palace.
Zhao Chengliang is useless and does not perform well in the imperial examination. If Lingxi becomes a palace concubine, it will also help to support her brother.
"Now that you're sure, let's do as you say. However, I don't think Lingxi did it. She's a bit spoiled and her words are harsh, but she wouldn't murder a child."
"How's the situation with Wanxin?"
The old lady did not approve of Zhao Xuan marrying Gao Wanxin, but she did not say that Zhao Xuan was not allowed to keep her, nor did she say that she would not accept the child.
Now when she heard that the child was almost drowned, especially in the middle of winter, she also recited several times, "Amitabha, Buddha bless you."
"The child still has a slight fever, sometimes better and sometimes worse, and is taking medicine."
"Regarding Lingxi's matter, I'll have to trouble my mother to find a foster nanny. I just slapped her, and I think she hates me."
Zhao Xuan sighed softly.
The affairs of this family are trivial and messy, more frustrating than those in the court.
How could the old lady not understand her own son?
"Okay, these are all matters related to the inner house, don't worry about them. As for Wanxin, let her take care of the child first."
The old lady still didn't mention letting him marry Gao Wanxin, and Zhao Xuan didn't say anything either. He was just waiting. As long as Chen Jingyan agreed, Gao Wanxin would become the Marquis's sister, and all his properties outside would be transferred to Gao Wanxin's name. Although it wasn't much, it was a lot for her to use as a dowry.
These things have not been confirmed yet, and Zhao Xuan did not say anything.
I thought I would tell him after it was confirmed.
But Gao Wanxin will have to endure some hardship during this period.
When Zhao Xuan returned to his residence, Gao Wanxin was feeding the child medicine. It was naturally troublesome and difficult for such a young child to take medicine, and she was the only one there.
The next day, Zhao Xuan brought a little maid named Yu'er.
"She will serve you from now on. If you want anything, ask her to get it from the main kitchen. From now on, your meals and the children's meals will be prepared in the small kitchen."
Gao Wanxin looked up at Zhao Xuan and asked, "Have you found out who harmed Yi'er?"
"The old maid in the main kitchen was beaten with thirty sticks. She said it was a maid she didn't know. When they found her, she had already committed suicide by taking poison."
Zhao Xuan didn't say that the old woman was beaten with a stick and died last night.
Gao Wanxin frowned, "That means there are still no clues."
"Wanxin, don't worry about this matter. No matter how long it takes, I will find out who the murderer is and will never tolerate evil. But this was not done by Lingxi or Chengliang."
Zhao Xuan still protected his children.
Gao Wanxin felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
"I understand, sir, there's no need to explain. I also heard that in order to find the murderer, sir, he beat Miss Lingxi. Actually, there was no need to do that. She didn't do it, so why did he beat her..."
Zhao Xuan knew that Gao Wanxin was unhappy, and he didn't know how to coax her, so he asked someone to go to a jewelry store on the street to pick out some jewelry and sent it to Gao Wanxin.
If it was before, she would definitely not want it.
But now, Gao Wanxin wants it.
As long as Zhao Xuan gave it to her, she would take it. She didn't do it for herself, but always thought about her son.
She originally had some savings, but after the flood in Jiangcheng, she donated all her money to buy food and medicinal materials for the people affected by the disaster. She has no regrets about it.
Gao Wanxin actually knew in her heart that Zhao Xuan was not young anymore. If one day Zhao Xuan passed away before her son grew up, the Zhao brothers and sisters would definitely not tolerate them and might even drive them out.
She liked Zhao Xuan, but she wanted to consider things for her child more.
