Su Wenyuan's eyes narrowed: "This looks like a pair of cards used by the servants of the Su family. I usually take the card and go out to do some chores, but when I return to the mansion, I always have to hand it back. Recently, the mansion has not I heard that a pair of cards was lost."
"Master Su, can you confirm that you haven't lost your pair?"
Su Wenyuan's eyebrows moved: "On weekdays, this official is also busy with business affairs. I really don't know if there are any missing pairs. I will ask the housekeeper to inquire later. If there are any missing pairs, I must report to Lord Shen. ."
"Alright, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more. If Master Su thinks of anything, please let me know in time."
"Definitely." Shen Binghuai walked this trip, not really suspicious of the Su family. First, that Wang Zhu himself is a rogue, and whether his words can be trusted remains to be discussed. Second, even if there is such a thing, the Su family It is also a very simple thing to make Wang Zhu unable to speak.
Shuntian Prefecture.
However, his routine inquiry this time led to rumors in Kyoto.
Recently, there has been a lot of excitement in the capital, and most of them are related to the Su family. This time, it is even rarer to involve a life lawsuit.
Many people stood up one after another, discussing the farce at the front of Su's house.
That day, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu's sons each took 100 taels of silver and left, but the people talked about it for a while. After all, it was one hundred taels of silver, and it was given away at will. This generosity made people speechless.
Many people described the scene of that day vividly: "The one who took out the silver bill and handed it over was a maid named Mo Yu, you don't know, that Mo Yu is not an ordinary maid, she is serving at the Su family. The old lady's, otherwise how could you just take out two hundred taels of silver?"
"Is the silver given by Mo Yu? Don't they all say that it was given by Miss Su's cousin, that is, Miss Mu?"
"At that time, it seemed that I heard what Miss Mu said, and said that Wang Zhu of the Wang family was blackmailing, and asked someone to go to the doctor to find out the cause of Mrs. Wang's death, but the eldest lady of the Su family stopped it..."
"Why stop it? No matter how generous the Su family is, they wouldn't say that a servant would give so much money if they died. There must be some shameful reason..."
"Then who knows, but Lord Shen has already gone to the Su's house to ask about it, so I can't say..." After a few words, a hundred people will completely change his appearance. In addition, Mu Yunyao let people secretly and deliberately guide people, and gradually there are many people in the capital. Rumor: Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu were killed by people from the Su family. The reason why they gave the one hundred taels of silver was just to keep their mouths shut. And the son of Mrs. Wang, Wang
Zhu was insatiable and wanted to blackmail more after he got 100 taels. The Su family ignored him and secretly sent someone to harm him. Wang Zhu had no choice but to stab the matter to Shuntianfu in order to survive.
After hearing the news, Su Wenyuan turned ashen, and hurriedly went to see Mrs. Meng: "The family of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu came to the house that day, why did they give them money?"
Madam Meng was thinking about how to punish Mu Yunyao, and when she heard this, she didn't react for a while: "Master, why are you so angry?" "Do you know what the news in Kyoto has become now? I don't know how many people say that our Su family killed people and silenced us, and then gave one hundred taels of silver as a hush money. If we continue to make noise like this, we will stab the emperor before we say anything. Do we want our Su family's face
"
The eldest lady was shocked: "What happened that day was too sudden, and there were people slandering Yuyi's reputation outside. I was busy helping Yuyi to correct her name, so I handed it over to Mu Yunyao to deal with..."
"Give it to her? Do you think things are not messy enough, and you also involve Mu Yunyao?"
"Master, what's going on, I'm confused, and I still don't understand it."
"Forget it, this matter is completely non-existent, and I'm not afraid of Shen Binghuai's investigation. Now check the pair of cards in the house, is there any missing?"
The eldest lady hurriedly asked people to check, and later said that the pair of cards were intact and not lost.
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, the matchmaking in the mansion is not very meticulous. In order to smear our Su family, it is impossible to say that someone deliberately forged it."
Su Wenyuan nodded: "You first check the mansion first and foremost, and don't spread any irrelevant words. I'll go to Shuntian mansion now." If there is no problem with the cards, the Su family can be suspected Cleaned up.
The eldest lady nodded, but her frowning brows never relaxed. She always felt that things were not so simple, and while she was thinking, she heard Qi Momo come to report: "Madam, a woman came to the door and said she came to bring something to Miss Mu."
The eldest lady is now extremely disgusted with Mu Yunyao, and sneered when she heard this: "Everything that is not trivial is sent to the house. What kind of boundary is our Su family? But ask clearly, what is it sent?"
"It's said to be the money earned by sending Niyunfang and Buxianlou."
The eldest lady's eyes moved: "Send money? Do you know how much?" "This... the slave did not ask." Qi Ma's face was pale, her throat still hurts, but she was ineffective in Baohua Temple, and she was punished again. Su Yuyi ordered and punished several times. For fear of losing her status, she thought of giving up her merits and crimes, so she did not dare to rest when she was uncomfortable, and she was still cautious.
Waiting in front of Mrs.
The eldest lady moved her eyes up and down, with a sneer on her lips: "Call someone in, I'll see you in person."
"Yes."
It was Yun Chun who came to present the silver taels. Since Mu Yunyao left Jingling City, steward Qin had been planning to open a building in Kyoto, and the place had already gotten some attention, so he asked Yun Chun to lead people here. Settle in first.
Mu Yunyao also got the news before going to Baohua Temple. Because of the rush, he didn't have time to see Yunchun. After something happened in Baohua Temple, he asked the secretary to contact her and ask her to help with something.
Yun Chun's appearance is not very colorful, but the aura around her makes people feel extra comfortable, but under her deliberate restraint, she looks a lot more ordinary.
"I've seen the eldest lady." Yun Chun entered the door and knelt down and saluted, looking a little restrained.
Seeing her appearance, the eldest lady's attitude calmed down, and it seemed that she was just a servant: "Are you here to give Yunyao silver taels?"
"Madam Hui, yes."
"Yunyao went to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings, but hasn't come back for a while, give me your things."
Yun Chun looked hesitant: "Is this inappropriate?"
"Huh? Could it be that the Su family can still pay for this amount of money?" Da Furen's expression became uneasy, and her voice became a little colder.
Yun Chun hurriedly saluted, and his expression became more restrained: "I would never dare to think like this, since Miss is not here, then the silver taels will be handed over to Madam first, and Madam Lao will transfer it on her behalf."
The eldest lady nodded slightly coquettishly: "Well, Yunyao should be back tomorrow. It's not easy for you to come here from Jingling City all the way, just stay in the mansion for two days."
Yun Chun was very pleasantly surprised: "Yes, thank you Madam."
"Mother Qi, take people down to settle down." "Yes."
