"Are the old servants who served those distant relatives still there?" Mo Xuetong blinked her watery eyes, turned around and asked.
Mo Xuetong was originally at a loss as to how to investigate the events of that year without alarming or injuring the Duke of Fu's wife. Now that Luo Mingzhu can take the initiative to investigate, she is more suitable than herself, and will not arouse her grandmother's anger. Suspicious, so Mo Xuetong led Luo Mingzhu in the direction of his suspicion.
"I didn't pay attention to ask about that, but there shouldn't be any of the old servants I asked, otherwise they would have told me in more detail. I vaguely heard those people saying that some people have been released because of their age. If It's really hard to find someone after so many years." Luo Mingzhu was stunned by Mo Xuetong's words at first, but then became worried again.
After a period of time, the Fuguo Palace will release some of its older servants. They have worked hard for the Fuguo Palace for so many years, which can be regarded as a reward for them. The Fuguo Palace will also send out a batch of money for this purpose. They are old and have no one to rely on.
This rule of the Fuguo Duke's Mansion has been in effect for countless years, and the incident happened over a long period of time. There is still a high possibility that the servants and maids who served at that time were released. Luo Mingzhu said this, which made Mo Xue Tong had a new idea and her eyes lit up: "Second cousin, go check and find out who served those people back then, and then transfer the details of those people and I will check."
As long as Luo Mingzhu passed the information on those people to her, Mo Xuetong felt that she was sure to find them. Those who were released were all old people. The Fuguo Palace had detailed records. They were old and unwilling to run around. , they are probably still in their original place. If you follow this road, you are most likely to find them.
"I have to go back and ask secretly." After sharing her concerns with Mo Xuetong, Luo Mingzhu relaxed and replied after thinking about it.
"Second cousin, let's go to Fu Guogong's Mansion again and see my grandmother and eldest cousin. Things are too busy these days and I don't have time to go and see." Mo Xuetong turned her eyes slightly and looked at Luo Mingzhu said, it’s better to choose the right day than to hit the sun. It happened that I was free today, so I simply went to my grandmother’s house to look for clues.
In the past, because I was all alone, some things were always unclear and no one could investigate. Now with Luo Mingzhu, the situation is completely different. Compared with myself, Luo Mingzhu has the right time, location, and people. Mo Xuetong had always wanted to find out what was going on. Moreover, it also involved the Fuguo Palace. What frightened Mo Xuetong the most was that Princess Jin didn't seem to be dead...
It's like a hidden danger in Fu Guogong's mansion. If this breaks out, it will involve more than one or two things.
The two of them discussed it, and Mo Xuetong asked someone to come in and put Luo Mingzhu's makeup on again. The two of them went to Fu Guogong's Mansion together. This time, Luo Mingzhu's carriage followed, and she and Mo Xuetong got into the same carriage. , the few maids who followed were all sent to other cars.
"Cousin Tong, what if my mother asks about me later?" Sitting in the car, Luo Mingzhu had a new worry. She also secretly overheard what her father and mother said that day. When she returned to the Fuguogong Mansion later, I just asked people to find old people who were related to my maid in private, such as my personal maid's aunt, but now that I think of that information, I have to go through her mother.
It is not an easy task to get the list of people who have been released without anyone noticing. His mother's temperament is also to ask questions. Luo Mingzhu has a headache. Before, she was just thinking about what to do, but now she really It turned out to be very difficult when it was put into operation.
It is unfair for a married daughter to have information about her mother's release of an old servant.
Looking at Luo Mingzhu, whose old worries have not gone away but new worries have arisen, Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with light ripples, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Second cousin is going to tell my second aunt so straightforwardly. Something?"
"How could mother give me information if I don't tell you?" Luo Mingzhu was worried.
My mother has always been a shrewd person. It is absolutely impossible to get information from her without an explanation. But how can I say that I heard my father and her arguing, so I want to investigate what happened back then? How could she say this, and it was against filial piety.
"Second cousin, if you want to tell your second aunt, you must explain clearly why you are looking for this information. With my second aunt's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to get this information if you don't explain it clearly, right?" Mo Xue? Tong smiled softly, took out the box of preserves placed in the compartment of the carriage, opened it, tasted one, and pushed it in front of Luo Mingzhu.
"If second cousin really thinks this way, then our matter will be made public to the world. Second aunt will know, second uncle will know, grandma will know, and even a maid in the house will know. Cousin, I don’t know how big this matter is now. If we don’t find out anything by then, but someone else finds us out, it will be a big deal!”

A few rays of coldness floated in Mo Xue's watery eyes, falling on Luo Mingzhu, almost making her feel like she was pierced by the cold: "Second cousin, if my grandmother really was my adopted mother back then, my mother wasn't Grandmother's biological daughter, such a big thing has been concealed for so many years, which is equivalent to the crime of deceiving the emperor. How should the Duke of Fuguo deal with it when the time comes? What will the eldest uncle and second uncle do? Will they be punished by the emperor and leave disaster? It’s possible for a whole clan.”
Mo Xuetong's words are not scaremongering. In the last life, the Fuguo Duke's Palace fell because it was involved in the affairs of the Jin Prince's Palace. Although it would not lead to confiscation of the house and extinguishing crimes, a high-ranking family that has been in the family for hundreds of years, just like this. Mo Xuetong didn't understand the twists and turns in Lingluo in her last life, but she saw them clearly in this life.
Using the daughter of the King of Jin as the eldest daughter of Duke Fu was originally a crime of deceiving the king, as well as the crime of treason by the King of Jin. Such a big crime was falling, but it was much bigger than the crime in the previous life. Everyone in the Duke's family would be implicated. Mo Xuetong felt it was necessary to make it clear to Luo Mingzhu about this matter.
This will prevent Luo Mingzhu from making a mistake and losing everything!
The second aunt, Mrs. Qu, originally had a faint shadow in Mo Xuetong's memory. She was not a very obvious person, and she was usually nice to others. Although she was not like her biological daughter, she was at least polite to her. I don't know if it was because of that. In the last life, Mo Xuetong was on her own. Apart from some special people and special things, she really couldn't remember anything special about her second aunt.
But now, after experiencing what happened to Mrs. Qu's aunt and niece, and hearing what Luo Mingzhu said overheard, Mo Xuetong felt for the first time that Mrs. Qu was a shrewd person, not only shrewd but also very tolerant, and never acted in any way. He said an unnecessary word in front of others, but kept everything in his heart, and he was very selfish, or he didn't regard Fu Guo Gongfu as his home at all.
This is of course also because the future Duke Fu Guo’s wife is the eldest aunt, not the second aunt. However, in line with the principle of both prosperity and loss, the second aunt was still a little selfish and subconsciously regarded her Qu family more than others. The Fuguo Duke's Mansion is a bit more serious, and regards this dignified young master as less important than her aunt and niece.
Mo Xuetong is not Luo Mingzhu, nor Madam Qu's daughter, so she looks at things objectively. Regarding Yunya, Mo Xuetong doesn't believe that Madam Qu knows nothing about it, but if she does know, she is still thinking about it. Let Yunya marry Luo Wenyou, specially designed to harm Luo Wenyou, and wanted to force Mrs. Qu to her eldest cousin.
Using such despicable means, he forced his junior to push a shameless woman into the arms of his eldest cousin. He didn't even consider that his eldest cousin was not married at all. The Crown Princess had not yet been decided, and something like this happened. In a situation where the reputation of the people in Fu Guogong's mansion were all in jeopardy, they still went their own way and conspired with Yun Ya.
Speaking of which, Mo Xuetong was very disappointed with this second aunt.
Therefore, she and Luo Mingzhu never wanted Mrs. Qu to know about the investigation of the old case thirty years ago. If she knew about it, she would probably interfere with it and complicate the originally simple matter. Moreover, Mrs. Qu would Mo Xuetong also had some doubts in his heart that he would not buy out the Fu Guogong Palace under the influence of certain interests.
Knocking on Luo Mingzhu is a must.
No matter what, Mo Xuetong didn't want Mrs. Qu to know what she and Luo Mingzhu were investigating. It was a matter of great importance, and human lives were at stake. If one mistake was made, there might even be a river of blood.
"I won't tell mother, absolutely not." Luo Mingzhu was not stupid either. She immediately understood the meaning of Mo Xuetong's words. She turned pale in shock and her fingers trembled on the box of preserves that Mo Xuetong sent over. After two pauses, she asked softly with a trembling voice, she was not Mo Xuetong. She had always had a smooth life, but when she encountered this kind of thing, she was momentarily shocked.
In particular, Mo Xuetong's eyes were filled with ice, and the chill seemed to penetrate into her heart. How could she dare to use her previous idea of directly trying to trick her mother.
"But what to do?"
"Second cousin, we will go in to see my grandmother first. My second aunt will definitely come. I will accompany my grandmother and second aunt to talk outside..." Mo Xuetong rolled his eyes, leaned over and lay next to Luo Mingzhu's ear, whispering He told her his own method. If he wanted to find the information quietly, not only Mrs. Qu had a method, but also someone else could do it.
As Mo Xuetong spoke, Luo Mingzhu nodded. When Mo Xuetong finished speaking, Luo Mingzhu kept nodding her head, feeling that what Mo Xuetong said was a good idea.
Being able to pass her mother's test so calmly made Luo Mingzhu feel relieved.
The two people were discussing in a low voice in the car. The wind blew up and raised the half-draped bead curtain, revealing Mo Xuetong's charming side face inside. It fell into the eyes of a woman sitting in the box on the second floor of a roadside teahouse. That The woman was putting down the curtain hat in her hand when she saw Mo Xuetong's side profile and was stunned for a moment. Then her eyes lowered and fell on the Xuanwangfu carriage that Mo Xuetong was riding in. She held the curtain hat tightly in her hand, and her eyes were filled with tears. A trace of hatred as cold as a poisonous snake flashed through!
"Mrs. Sima, please come inside for tea!" A middle-aged man came out respectfully and said to the woman. The woman nodded, withdrew her gaze, turned around and followed the middle-aged man in. (To be continued)
