The next morning, Meng Yan came to pay her respects to her mother, and Mrs. Meng described this matter as a case of a house fight to her daughter. She just wanted to give her more knowledge, but what she didn't expect was that what was shocking for her was still shocking to Meng Yan's ears.

The fear of the back home lingers in the girl's heart.

...

If the impression of the new Princess Ding in the circle of noble ladies in Yancheng was only on the side, most of them had only one or two encounters. It is often impossible to accurately judge a person based on one or two encounters, especially those ladies from a high school, who were taught by nanny by words and deeds since childhood and learned to disguise themselves too early.

Although it is generally believed that this Princess Ding is not a simple person, outsiders still don’t know how high it is. This time, the people who are paying attention to the backyard of Princess Ding re-estimated the new Princess Ding.

The most direct expression was that there were suddenly more invitations to the Ding Prince's Mansion. In addition to wedding banquets, birthday banquets, full moon wines and other banquets, tea tasting parties, flower viewing banquets, and other banquets that were not allowed to attend by close friends. Many people also invited Ding Princess.

Some families with lower families know that they are not qualified to invite them, so they take other paths, inviting Meng's family, and even during this period, Mrs. Quan Si, who often travels to the Dingwang Mansion, have received many posts that they would not normally invite.

When the Meng family was in its glory, Mrs. Meng attended many banquets and was already tired, so she usually didn't attend unless she had to go there. However, Mrs. Quan was happy with it. They had many shops, making more noble ladies would be of great help to the business.

On this day, Mrs. Quan Si attended a full moon banquet. After returning, she immediately went to the Meng family to meet Mrs. Meng and nervously asked Mrs. Meng to retreat and all the maids and mothers around her before speaking. Her voice was so low that she almost whispered.

She said: "I went to attend the full moon banquet of Grand Secretary Liu's son today. This Grand Secretary Liu is over fifty years old. His wife is a long-lasting wife and is almost forty. She is considered an old man. Therefore, she attaches great importance to hiring many high-ranking officials. Grand Secretary Liu has always had close relationships with the Hu family, so several ladies from the Hu family and several young ladies who are not married have participated... Even Grand Secretary Hu and Grand Secretary Hu San, who have not appeared together recently, attended together, which is very generous to Grand Secretary Liu."

All Mrs. Meng knows these. Not to mention the person who pays special attention to the Hu family, even those who are a little closer to the Hu family know that the eldest and third wife of the Hu family are obviously disagreeing, so they almost don’t even care about face. However, in wealthy families, it is normal for sisters-in-law to be dissatisfied, and not many people care about it.

However, it was more of a matter for the Hu family, and Mrs. Meng still pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a word and a half.

Mrs. Quan Si's next words were the key point. Her voice became even lower, "I wanted to clean my hands halfway through. When I came back, I fainted when I met Miss Hu Qi, so I naturally went up to help. It was terrible. Miss Hu Qi's skirt was wet. It was all bloody. Later, the people from Hu and Liu families rushed to take Miss Hu Qi away... Later, Mrs. Liu said that it was Miss Hu Qi's Kui Shui that suddenly came. Thank you for your help, it was just about the Miss's Boudoir reputation, and I told me not to say it out... But I think I'd better tell my sister. At this late autumn, I was dressed very thickly. A little girl didn't have so much Kui Shui. Miss Hu Qi clearly had a slippery baby."

"Slipping?" Mrs. Meng almost screamed. Miss Meng Qi seemed to be one year younger than her daughter. Why... it was so scary. How could such a lady who was raised in the deep boudoir? Especially the Hu family must have no idea before, otherwise Miss Hu Qi would not have let Miss Hu Qi come out. It is very likely that the child's father is a person with close contact with the Hu family and can freely go to the Hu family's house. However, even so, it is not easy to avoid everyone's eyes and ears. Even if Miss Hu Qi is young and ignorant, then the man would not think that the rice is cooked and the Hu family would be betrothed to him, right? The higher the family, the more taboo it is. The Hu family would rather strangle their daughter than betray others.

The most important thing is that since the last time she plotted against her daughter, the Hu family has increased their upbringing for the girls, and every girl is surrounded by strict nannies. Once the girl makes a mistake, the severity of the paradox will be punished with the people around her. From the discipline nannies to the maids and women who clean up the scrubbers can't escape.

She suspected that under such strict defense, Miss Hu Qi had the opportunity to contact and commit adultery alone with a foreign man. Could it be that it was a member of the Hu family? I remember more than 20 years ago, a family of officials was a legitimate brother who forced a illegitimate sister to rape her. The head of the family wanted to conceal and strangled her daughter to death as a sudden evil. But the daughter's personal maid was afraid of being silenced, so she secretly passed a letter of intrusion. When she met a righteous censor, the case was revealed. Such a case that was contrary to human relations actually appeared in the official family. All Yancheng was uproared. The person who had legitimate brother was sentenced to beheaded. The head of the family, together with the family members who participated in the concealment, was sentenced to be exiled and was exiled to the barbaric area. I heard that in the end, he could not reach the exile place and died of illness.

He really doubted the possible surname among them, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but say, "Are you sure?"

"This... I dare not say it must." Mrs. Quan Si hesitated, "Maybe it was a sudden illness. Once I saw a coachman sitting down from the teahouse and drinking tea. Suddenly, he fell down with his stomach and had a lot of blood. I heard that he accidentally fell down while driving the bus and was stepped on by a horse. I didn't feel any pain at that time, and I thought I was lucky. But the doctor said that some of the stomach was trampled, just like rotten fruits. Some fruits were rotten, but the skin was still good, and they couldn't see it on the outside, but they would rot into water after touching it. Maybe the heart, liver, spleen and stomach are the same..."

"Stop talking." Mrs. Meng imagined it for a moment, and felt a little disgusting. Something in her stomach surged upwards. It took a while to suppress it and ordered Mrs. Quan Si, "You go and inquire again."

"This is not done, and it will be obvious if you ask again." Mrs. Quan Si waved her hand quickly, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't disclose this matter. Mrs. Liu told me not to tell me, but... my sister is not the one who likes to gossip and make trouble, so I will tell my sister about this. In fact, there were a lot of maids and mothers at that time, and it was difficult to hide it compared to me... I must not say that I told her. Maybe Miss Hu Qi really has some disease, and random faxes will kill people."

"Don't worry, sister, I will never spread this matter. Thank you for telling me." Seeing Mrs. Quan's nervous look, Mrs. Meng knew that she was afraid of offending others, and women liked to inquire. But she would never like people who spread gossip. The reason why Mrs. Quan was able to get out of many noble ladies was because of her strict words. If it weren't for the Meng family, which was related to the major involvement, she wouldn't say anything.

After Mrs. Quan Si left, Mrs. Meng immediately ordered the maid to prepare sedan chairs to go to Dingwang Mansion, but before the sedan chair was out, she met the maid sent by Dingwang Mansion to pass on the message. She said that the princess had something to do, so she asked the lady not to pass the mansion today.

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment. How did Fu'er know that she was going to the Dingwang Mansion? She wanted to go after listening to Mrs. Quan Si's words. She decided not to even know her personal maid. The one who passed the message was a maid with a face. She respectfully said that she was just ordered to pass the message, but the other person next to her didn't know.

Mrs. Meng could only suppress her doubts and did not express it in front of the maid. She really thought she had made an appointment with the princess. She said politely to the maid who passed the message, and asked the maid to bring a few snacks back and said that the princess liked to eat on weekdays.

Hu Family

Mrs. Hu was simply heartbreaking.

Her youngest daughter, her always well-behaved little daughter, actually had a baby and had a baby when she was going to someone else's house to attend a banquet. This daughter is considered useless.

Although my daughter was slippery on the way to the clean room and did not face many guests. However, many maids and mothers at the Liu family knew that there were also the Liu family and the doctors invited by the Liu family, and perhaps one or two guests saw that so many mouths could be blocked?

After the fetus was dissipated, the doctor said it was very dangerous and could not move. However, after the husband learned the news, he must take her back home, and she had to do so.

Compared to Mrs. Hu's heart-wrenching pain, Mr. Hu was more angry. His eldest daughter had already made him feel sad once before. Now his youngest daughter has exposed a scoundrel that is no less than his eldest daughter. It was said that he, Mr. Hu, still gaining a foothold in the court? His daughter is still in a coma and can't ask anything for a moment. Out of a man's nervousness about reputation, he locked in the study and thought about it for a long time after returning home.

Finally, he ordered his wife who was still guarding her little daughter's bedside, and came over.

Mr. Hu's study never allowed women to enter. He felt it was unlucky, but this time he didn't care about so much. He just stared at Mrs. Hu with a fierce look and said, "What's going on? How did you educate your daughter?"

Mrs. Hu was full of grievances. She really didn't know, but now she didn't know it. She said she didn't know it now. After the eldest daughter had an accident, her husband kept asking her to take care of the people next to the house without paying attention. As long as she manages her daughters well, the eldest daughter is now equivalent to being under house arrest and is only considered sick to the outside world. Not only can she not go out, but she can't even walk between the rooms.

The eldest daughter's affairs can be hidden from outsiders, but they can't be hidden from the family, especially the second and third bedrooms, but each room has a daughter. It is said that the Hu girl has a bad reputation, so there is no external rumor.

When he was threatened by his wife, he felt a little sorry for his daughter. He thought about the sons of the third wife. The third brother never attached importance to his daughter. Since the third brother and sister had a handle in his wife's hands, it would be natural to use the third wife's daughter to replace him. If he didn't come forward, this is a matter between women. I will find a way to compensate the third brother more afterwards.

The incident happened suddenly, and he was eager to solve the problem, but he didn't think so much. Afterwards, he realized that not only the third bedroom, but also the second bedroom and other close relatives in the clan were afraid of him and were on guard against him. It was better to need his help. Anyone who needed help would have to pay a price.

Only then did he realize that this matter was not a daughter's problem, but a heart that made others feel cold. Today, he could push his younger brother's daughter to die in order to cover up his daughter's embarrassment. If there is something more important in the future, he would not push his younger brother to die.

The matter of Piansheng was handled quietly. The other two houses knew more, but even other relatives and friends in the clan only thought that he forced his niece to marry a notorious playboy in the capital for some kind of selfish interests, which ruined his niece's life. He could not defend himself. The third brother and his family all said that the marriage was the boss of the eldest brother, and they did not know the character of Mr. Hong in advance. Although others did not believe that the third house was really so ignorant, they only thought that they had trouble saying that it was good that the marriage was the boss of the big house. If the third house knew that he still married his daughter, he would definitely be threatened and tempted by the big house.

This incident had a much more important impact on his reputation than expected. He had been living a rather unhappy life these days. Therefore, Grand Secretary Liu's son's full moon banquet urged his wife to attend with his daughter and several younger siblings and nieces, and other rumors of breaking the internal disagreement of the Hu family. Who would have expected this to happen?

"Master, it's all my fault." Mrs. Hu felt wronged but did not dare to complain about the injustice, and kept saying that it was his fault.

Perhaps this attitude satisfied Mr. Hu. His face calmed down a little and said, "Now is not the time to pursue the mistake. I thought about it. The most urgent thing is to hide this matter. Now you bring a generous gift to the Liu family. In addition to thanking them for help and asking them to go there to keep the secret, let me inquire about it in detail. Those maids and mothers saw that something happened to their daughter, especially if there were any outsiders to see it, so don't let people spread it.

Mrs. Hu is not very willing. She is not very familiar with Mrs. Liu, especially Mrs. Liu is still Xuxian. The rank of noble ladies in the city is quite clear. It is not that Xuxian must be inferior, but mainly depends on the attitude of the husband's family. The original wife has an adult legitimate son who can inherit the family business, and Xuxian's status will be very low. The original wife's status of having a child after entering the door is actually not much different from that of the original wife. Mrs. Liu was in an embarrassing state before, but she expected that she could give birth to a son when she was old. Some people even muttered that she should not have a concubine. Mrs. Liu

Pretend to show off, bring it over during childbirth? I think it is to stop such rumors. When Mrs. Liu was wearing a belly, the noise was very disturbed. She said that she gave birth to a child at an age and had a bad fetal direction. She asked the imperial physician to take the pulse and protect the fetus from time to time. Every time she hired not the same one. During childbirth, she also hired several experienced stubborn women in the family. The purpose was to tell everyone that she was indeed pregnant. The official position of Liu’s college student was not enough to bribe all the imperial physicians to help lie. What’s more, there are many stubborn women, who are staring at so many eyes that it is impossible to bribe everyone.

Mrs. Hu was quite disdainful of this, thinking that Mrs. Liu was petty, but she was so angry that she had a big disturbance when she had her body, for fear that people would not know it, so she was a little disagreeable with Mrs. Liu. Now that her daughter had such a scandal, she wanted to hide at home and not see anyone for the rest of her life. In fact, this kind of thing happened to Mrs. Hu and College Student Liu directly told Student Liu that it might be good. Even if Mrs. Liu gave birth to a son, she would not dare to disobey her husband. What Liu said must be more effective than what they said.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Seeing Mrs. Hu hesitating, Mr. Hu's eyes immediately glared.

You can't anger him at this time. Although Mrs. Hu was worried about her daughter and wanted to stay at home, what Mr. Hu said made sense. The most important thing at the moment is to ensure that there are no unfavorable rumors spread, otherwise the daughter would have to die.

After the relationship between husband and wife broke down, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu were both disgusted with each other. When nothing happened, they would never look at each other. Therefore, Mrs. Hu turned around and did not look back. She did not see the ruthlessness flashing in her husband's eyes at all...

In the Liu Family Flower Hall.

She had just finished her confinement period and had a round and jade-free period during her confinement period. She was sitting in the flower hall listening to Mrs. Hu complaining, showing sympathy on her face, but she was very angry.

One of the happiest days of her son's full moon wine was disturbed by this scandal, and he had to clean up the mess for their Hu family. It was really a disaster at home. After hearing Mrs. Hu talk for a long time, she had to express her opinion and say hypocritical words, "Mrs. Hu don't worry, our servants are the most ruler and will not gossip. Let's not talk about the friendship between our two masters. If this matter is spread, our family will not be beneficial."

It would be no good for Mrs. Liu to replace the word embarrassment with it.

However, Mrs. Hu's face was completely unhappy. After these words, the smart woman judged her attitude. Although Mrs. Liu was polite, she clearly expressed her distant intention. I am afraid that the friendship between the two families will only be only about the friendship between men. Women, it is better to have fewer contacts.

Although he received Mrs. Liu's promise, Mrs. Hu was still worried and asked, "Did those guests see it at that time?"

After asking this, Mrs. Liu's face looked bad. She hesitated for a moment before answering: "There is no near, is it far away? It was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't notice that all the maids and mothers knew distinguished guests, and the scene was a bit chaotic and far away... Even if I saw it, I probably didn't know what was going on."

What I want is certain, not probable. Mrs. Hu shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it like this, just said, "I'm afraid I don't know, so I guessed randomly and caused misunderstandings.

Mrs. Liu was very dissatisfied. It was a good thing to have a misunderstanding at this time. Even if it was better to spread the word about Miss Hu Qi suffering from a serious disease than to know the truth, she didn't dare to answer this. She could keep her mouth shut, but she couldn't guarantee that the guests wouldn't talk nonsense. She had no shame to tell the guests like this, and there was no need to keep it secret. Besides, the people who saw this kind of thing were really innocent. For example, she didn't want to know, because once the secret was leaked, she would become a suspect.

The same is true for guests, especially those who are not familiar with each other. You cannot tell others the truth, but instead keep it secret. No one will be happy. If she tells Mrs. Hu the name of this person and Mrs. Hu comes to them, then she will be no one inside and outside. Everyone would rather offend Mrs. Hu than get innocent people. Otherwise, if they spread, they will have their own difficulties and she will be the target of public criticism.

After thinking it through, Mrs. Liu said lightly: "Mrs. Hu, if you are really worried, I will ask the maids one by one later, and I will tell you when the question comes out."

Mrs. Hu's face looked extremely ugly. If she asked her a lot of questions among the maids, it would increase the possibility of leaks. She had known that she would have such consequences when she negotiated with Mrs. Liu. From the beginning to now, Mrs. Liu had an unconcealed contempt in her eyes, which was an embarrassment she had never encountered in her life.

After the Liu family was procrastinating for half a day, they could not get a satisfactory answer, so Mrs. Hu had to return in disappointment.

However, after a while, she heard a crying sound. She was shocked and rushed over. She saw the close maid coming towards her, covering her face with a veil and crying: "Madam, Miss Seven... Miss Seven..."

"What's wrong with her?" A premonition arose in Mrs. Hu's heart.

"Miss, Miss, she's gone." The maid burst into tears.

"How could it be?" Mrs. Hu could hardly stand, and the nanny behind her hurriedly supported her.

After a moment of stunned , Mrs. Hu pushed away the maid and the help of her and ran to her daughter's yard as fast as she had in her life...

In the Dingwang Mansion

"Swallowing gold and committing suicide." Su Yiqing murmured in surprise after hearing Lu Teng's report. She recalled that she had seen Miss Hu Qi at the Hu family banquet. She couldn't remember her face. She was probably also a naive lady withered at the age of the flower-like flower blooming.

But after careful consideration, she felt something was wrong. In ancient times, there was no flood of detective dramas in modern times, which allowed people to learn many crimes and murder methods. In ancient times, few people knew about the suicide method of swallowing gold. The most common method of taking poison was to take poison. Most of the poison was rat poison such as arsenic, or they were either hanging or throwing into a well. Even the popular modern wrist cutting was known in ancient times.

How did Miss Hu Qi know? Even if she accidentally learned that something happened to her, it should be a group of maids and women gathered around her, and it would be difficult to find an opportunity to commit suicide.

Looking at the consequences, the deceased is the greatest, and the person will be killed once he dies. The slander of the deceased is shameless at all times. As long as the Hu family announces that Miss Hu Qi died suddenly due to a serious illness, even if there are any speculations, it will be a small-scale rumors. At most, it will affect the marriage of the Hu family’s children, which will be unhindered to the career of the Minister Hu and the Hu family’s men.

Miss Hu Qi was neither too late nor too late, but she committed suicide while Mrs. Hu was out. This time was really good.

Based on all the clues, Su Yiqing was almost certain that it was Mr. Hu who wanted Miss Hu to die.

Mr. Hu wanted to smooth things over and calm things down as nothing happened, and even wanted to seek justice for his daughter. Just let Miss Hu Qi die, and it was equivalent to destroying evidence for the child's father.

The cruel and ruthless person greatly guarantees the interests not to be damaged. The daughter's reputation is ruined, and it is useless to survive. The person who makes Miss Hu Qi's belly is definitely not ordinary people and is difficult to deal with. Instead of risking the loss of the whole family's reputation, it is better to just end it.

For some reason, Su Yiqing vaguely felt that this was the goal that Lian Yufeng wanted to achieve. (To be continued ~^~)
