Not long after, Feng Huan's guards brought over the map of Ciyun Nunnery and Fang Shangshu's mansion. Feng Huan spread out the map, and ordered Fang Yingying and Lu Lian to clearly mark the whereabouts of those few days. According to the markings on the map, Fang Shangshu's mansion is heavily guarded.
"Is there really no difference during that time?" Zhuang Zhong reconfirmed.
Fang Yingying and Lu Lian shook their heads, and Lu Lian said: "Master and Madam are strict, so we servants never dare to neglect. Those on the night watch don't dare to take a nap, even yawn."
Fang Yingying bit her lower lip, her eyes flushed, "I can't be pregnant, right? Otherwise... otherwise, how could..."
Zhuang Zhong suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Otherwise what?"
Fang Yingying and Lu Lian didn't speak any more, they only shed tears silently, Fang Yingying's complexion became more and more haggard. Lu Lian wiped away her tears, "Miss, don't think wildly, there must be something missing!"
Zhuang Zhong and Feng Huan looked at each other, Zhuang Zhong thought for a while and said cautiously: "According to the days, the child should be about eight months old at this time, but Miss Fang's belly is flat, could it be..."
Fang Yingying raised her head fiercely, "No, I didn't want him! No matter what, he is my flesh and blood, so how can I bear it. Although, although I hated him and wanted to take him away, I really regarded him as It's my baby!"
Whether it is for the mother or the child to become pregnant before marriage, it is difficult to survive unless it is concealed. So seeing Fang Yingying's flat stomach, Zhuang Zhong thought that Fang Yingying must have aborted the child. Fang Yingying is not doing well these days, even if she didn't do it on purpose, it is very likely that she lost her child because of depression and wandering. Zhuang Zhongfang was afraid of embarrassing her, so he didn't ask.
"It's because you missed this child, no wonder you. You have to take good care of yourself now, and there will be more in the future." Zhuang solemnly comforted.
Fang Yingying shook her head, "Will anyone want me for a broken flower like me? Even if there is someone, I'm afraid it's a crooked melon, and I don't like it. I thought there was a child with me, even though his father is a beast , but... No matter what, I have already figured it out, the fault is not with the child, but because I really want to keep him, but I don’t know that there is nothing left in the end.”
Fang Yingying looked sad and lost all vitality.
Although I really wanted to get rid of the child before, but after I finally figured it out, the child didn't want her anymore. Is this retribution? But she has never done anything evil, so why is she having bad luck one after another
"Miss, it doesn't matter if the child doesn't exist... it's still a..."
"I don't allow you to talk like that!" Fang Yingying gave Lu Lian a hard look, "Since he's in my stomach, he's my baby, no matter what he looks like, I won't dislike him! I don't believe he is a ghost, he must be What went wrong!"
Fang Yingying wiped away her tears and took a deep breath, "I won't hide it from you, my child died at the age of six months for some reason, and what fell was a monster with a long tail, that's why I was so depressed. Although I ran away from home, the gold and silver jewelry I brought was enough for me to live like an ordinary person. I lived in the country for a while, but when this happened, I was kicked out, saying that I was pregnant. Ghost fetuses are a curse."
"I didn't want to fight anymore, this is my life. But God even took away my child! I am not convinced, I want to catch the person who caused me such misery, he is the one who caused me something It’s all gone, even if it’s a monster, I’ll fight to the death!”
Fang Yingying slapped the table excitedly, just in time to hit the cup, the cup shattered, and her hand was bleeding from the prick.
"Miss!" Lu Lian hurried up to bandage her wound.
Fang Yingying's face was blank, she didn't know the pain at all, "If you two think I'm an ominous person, please do it yourself."
"Although fetal malformation is not common, it is not a rare thing. It has nothing to do with monsters. Miss Fang, don't take it too seriously." said solemnly.
Fang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes lit up, "Master Zhuang agreed to check for me?"
Solemnly said: "Of course, this matter is so strange, if the truth cannot be found out, I'm afraid more people will suffer."
The guard who was investigating the news entered and whispered to Feng Huan, Feng Huan frowned, "Xu Yuan also went to Ciyun Nunnery to live for ten days, and died of a sudden illness within a few days after returning. Not only that, but also There have been similar things."
"Then there is indeed a problem with Ciyun Nunnery!" Zhuang Zhong said angrily.
Both Fang Yingying and Lu Lian couldn't believe it, Fang Yingying said: "This is impossible, Ciyun Nunnery is a quiet place of Buddhism, how could there be such a dirty thing? It is a place favored by the Queen Mother today! I was thinking about this before After that, go there to get ordained and become a monk.”
Feng Huan snorted coldly, "Go and find out if it's a human or a ghost."
"That man hides so deeply, if you go to investigate rashly, you will be alarmed. Besides, he has a great reputation, so you have to plan to do it." Zhuang Zhuang, Feng Huan nodded, even if he had a plan, he couldn't say much at this time.
Fang Yingying and Lu Lian still couldn't believe it, but they didn't say much.
"Miss Fang, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible, and if there is any news, we will inform you immediately. Where do you live now?"
Fang Yingying mentioned a place, she was solemnly surprised, there was a lot of fish and dragons, it was definitely not a place for a young lady like her to stay. Although Fang Yingying is very haggard now and her face is quite pale, she is still a great beauty. She has only a maid and an old servant by her side, so it is really not safe to live there.
Lu Lian said angrily, "Our young lady originally bought a field and a house in the countryside, but she was kicked out because of the child, and all her belongings were taken away. If my mother hadn't sewed a few pieces of silver into her clothes, we would have People are going to sleep on the streets, those people are really disgusting!"
They could only suffer from being dumb when something like this happened, and Fang Yingying didn't dare to show her face at all. What's more, if this kind of thing gets out, Fang Shang's books won't tolerate it, so there will be no way to survive. And the other brothers and sisters of the Fang family will also be implicated by her. Fang Yingying's kind heart does not dare to implicate the family. If the family members hadn't turned their eyes and closed their eyes, how could she, a young lady, escape.
"There are still people like this?!" Zhuang Zhong was annoyed, no wonder Fang Yingying looked haggard like this. After a miscarriage, he was expelled again, and all his belongings were taken away. It is not easy to survive until now. If it was any other Miss Jiao, she would have been beaten to death long ago.
Fang Yingying blushed and said: "The little girl is actually desperate, so I found Mr. Zhuang, really..."
Feng Huan interrupted, "I have a house in the suburbs of Beijing, I will order someone to send you there in a while."
Fang Yingying was very grateful, although she was extremely embarrassed, she had to lower her head and do what she didn't bother to do before, and her previous arrogance had long since been smashed in the face of reality. She was looking for solemnity as a gamble, and now she made the right bet, so let's take one step at a time in the future.
"I just saw that she was pitiful. She was my fiancée in the past. No matter what, I couldn't let her live too badly, so I took her in. Unless it's about the case, I will definitely not look for her, not to mention that I won't marry her." She, not even a concubine."
The two were walking on the street, when Feng Huan suddenly spoke a long string of words.
Zhuang Zhong was stunned, "Ah? Why are you telling me this."
Feng Huan looked at Zhuang Zhong firmly, "Why didn't you talk to me when you came out of the tavern?"
Zhuang Zhong blinked, "I'm thinking about this case... Hey, where are you going, wait for me!"
Feng Huan left without a trace, leaving Zhuang Zhong standing alone on the street with a puzzled expression on his face.
"What kind of wind is this?"
Half a month passed, and there was no abnormality found in Ciyun nunnery. Feng Huan sent people to sneak into Ciyun nunnery, and sent people to monitor at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't find any men coming in or out. The management of Ciyun nunnery even said that at night, pilgrims are not allowed to walk around at will, but can only stay in their own courtyard.
And Zhuang Zhuang did not make any progress in investigating those who died after returning from Ciyun Temple. Even if they knew that they committed suicide because they were pregnant, they didn't know who the other party was. Everyone guessed wildly without any real evidence, and no one mentioned Ciyun Temple.
The case has not progressed.
Zhuang Zhong frowned, it wouldn't matter how complicated the case was, but women in this world place great emphasis on chastity, especially in families. Therefore, there are many difficulties in the investigation, and no one is willing to cooperate with the investigation, which prevents Zhuangzhuang from obtaining useful information. Everyone died of a sudden illness for the sake of face.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or the villain made a choice, most of the women killed were the daughters of officials, all of them were women in boudoir and they were all very beautiful. A high family status means that you pay more attention to face, even if you break your teeth, you have to swallow it in your stomach, and it is more difficult to find out what is solemn. Even pulling the banner of King Sizhao is useless, starving to death is a small injustice and a big one, I would rather let my daughter die unjustly than spread these scandals to the outside world.
Sighing solemnly, "Hey, I have been listed as a rejected user by these companies, and I can't find anything at all. Is there no movement from your side?"
Feng Huan shook his head.
"Could it be that my deduction is wrong, it's actually a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with Ciyun Nunnery? Those women really died of sudden illness?" Zhuang Zhong asked a little annoyed.
"Don't worry, it's only been half a month. A greedy cat will always steal something, so let's wait patiently." Feng Huan looked at the solemn list, "Isn't there still one person here that you haven't checked yet? Being alive may offer more."
"Because I'm still alive, I don't dare to investigate. This woman has a husband and child now, and her life is happy. If I bring up the old matter again, it may cause her to lose everything. Not everyone has the courage of Fang Yingying." Lian was hit, originally thought that those women died, and those parents should be able to provide some clues in order to avenge their daughters. They didn't know that they were bumping into walls everywhere. They would rather their daughters die unexplained than let outsiders know the real reason. Even if Zhuang Zhong repeatedly promised that it would not be leaked, it would not help.
Zhuang Zhong can also understand the thoughts of these parents. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, so what if they find out, it will shame the family instead. But I still feel a little chilled in my heart, just like Fang Yingying's family members. Originally, it was hard enough because of such an experience, but her family didn't support her and instead beat her hard for the sake of her reputation. How could it make people not despair
Fang Yingying still had the courage to seek him out to find out the truth, for this rare courage, Solemn would not let her down.
And the woman who is still alive is named Xia Min, her father is a seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy, her husband Wang Wenxuan is her father's student, and the two are childhood sweethearts. Three years ago, Xia Min attempted to hang herself and wanted to be ordained to become a monk. Later, she was sincerely moved by Wang Wenxuan, so she married him a year ago and gave birth to a son.
There are a lot of pilgrims staying in Ciyun Nunnery, Feng Huan only recently found out about her, and feels that her experience is also very suspicious. Sure enough, during the investigation of the case, she was also pregnant. Although she was saved by hanging herself, the child was gone.
Feng Huan thought for a while and said, "It's really not good for us men to visit us. Why don't we ask Fang Yingying to talk to her. Both of them are victims, and they might let go of their hearts. And they are both women, so they can avoid talking to her." off her husband."
Zhuang Zhuang's eyes lit up, "That's right, why did I forget Miss Fang!"
