Thinking of this, Wang Wu couldn't help but get excited and continued to eavesdrop.
"There must be something fishy going on here. Not to mention that the wives of officials don't stay in the mansion, but have to wait in such a remote small nunnery to give birth. Just think about it, those wives of officials don't have anyone around them, how could they suddenly die while giving birth? There must be a lot of money involved. Wang Wu's aunt is also incompetent. The money must be in the hands of the current nunnery owner. The last time I saw the nunnery owner, although she was dressed simply, the material was really good, much better than other nuns."
The person who brought up the topic earlier said smugly.
"That is to say, someone wanted to harm this official's wife and gave the nunnery master a large sum of money. Now the nunnery master has also plotted against Wang Wu's aunt for this money?" The other man was not stupid either. He immediately understood the cause and effect, then shook his head and sighed, "Wang Wu is an unlucky man. Otherwise, let alone such a small amount of gambling money, he would probably have much more."
"He is really unlucky. He has such great luck but he didn't catch anything. If I had rushed to the nunnery at that time and pointed out that someone had been murdered and asked the government to investigate, the nunnery owner would not have dared to report it to the authorities. He would have definitely settled it privately and taken whatever he wanted."
"That makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't have such an aunt."
"Gone, gone. Come back tomorrow to check. I don't believe we can't find Wang Wu."
"Well, it's getting late. Go back first and get some sleep tomorrow before coming back."
The casino is more open at night, so I will go back and guard it for a while. I will go to sleep in the morning, and it will probably be afternoon when I come back.
Hearing the footsteps outside leaving, Wang Wu slumped behind the wall with a gloomy face, feeling extremely sad inside.
It’s not that I’m sad about my aunt’s death, but I just feel like I was blind. I didn’t think of and discover such a great benefit.
If he had discovered it earlier, how could he have owed so much money from gambling, and nearly been beaten to death and chased like a dog
The words of the two casino thugs reminded Wang Wu of many things. He remembered that the current abbess was saved by his aunt. Later, she was very capable and became his aunt's deputy. She was the only one in the nunnery besides his aunt. After that, his aunt seemed to be ill and had been ill for quite some time.
Although he did not visit his aunt again at that time, he heard from people that the person who showed up was the current abbess, and even the incident with the new official's wife happened after his aunt fell ill.
Wang Wu didn't think much of it at first, but now after eavesdropping on the gossip outside and thinking about some things he knew, he felt more and more that there was indeed a problem here.
My originally muddled brain suddenly becomes very useful.
He remembered that his aunt's health had never been very good. After the current abbess came, many things were left to her. Does that mean that the plan to plot against the official's wife was also taken over by the current abbess, and in the end she was afraid that her aunt would get in the way, so she plotted against her again
So, before this lady came, my aunt was sick, and after this lady had the accident, my aunt lost her life.
Connecting the past and the present, it was the current abbess who did the worst. Not only did she murder her own aunt, but she also murdered the wife of an official.
Wang Wu suddenly sat up straight, stretched out his hands to support himself against the earthen wall, and stood up. What could he use to threaten the nun
So that she would give him money readily, and then he could run away.
Evidence, he also lacks evidence now.
After spinning around like a headless fly for a few times, Wang Wu suddenly had an idea.
The current abbot still lives in the place where my aunt lived back then. That room is pretty good. He has been there before. If there is any evidence, it must be there. He will go there tomorrow and search the room. Anyway, there are women inside, so he must rush in and no one can stop him.
Even if there were pilgrims who tried to stop them, he would say that the old nun had murdered his aunt. Hearing him shouting like that, even if someone wanted to stop them, they would not act rashly.
When he finds the evidence, he can use it to threaten the old nun and give her as much as she wants.
Thinking of this, Wang Wu immediately rubbed his hands in excitement. He looked at the sky and knew it was still early. The thugs would have to wait until the afternoon at least. He took a nap first, so as not to be too tired to make trouble...
The next day, Qu Moying got up very early, and after getting up, he sat quietly in front of the piano platform. He didn't play the piano, but just sat there quietly.
Yuchun brought over the breakfast. She ate just a little and then sat down again. Under her long eyelashes, her eyes revealed a hint of suppressed excitement.
"Miss, Lord Yue should have received the letter." Yu Chun cleared the dishes and saw that she was still sitting there in silence. Thinking that she was still worried about the letter, she comforted her.
Qu Moying nodded. The letter had naturally reached Yue Wenhan's hands. She had specially asked Yudong to deliver it early this morning. Judging from the time, Yudong would be back soon.
She trusted Yue Wenhan's character, and she was just waiting for news from there. This time, Yu would not be able to escape!
"Miss, the lady wants you to come over!" A maid suddenly reported from outside the curtain.
Qu Moying raised her eyes to look at the sky. It was still early. In the past, this was the time when she would go to pay her respects to the lady-in-waiting, but the lady-in-waiting would basically not call her over at this time.
He slowly stood up, holding on to the piano stand.
Yuchun lifted the curtain and walked out: "Our young lady was just about to go over there, why did the Madam suddenly invite our young lady over now?"
In the past, the lady might not even be awake at this moment!
"The Madam couldn't sleep today, so she got up early. Since it's still early, she asked me to come and invite Miss Four to have breakfast together." The old woman replied with a smile.
When Qu Moying paid his respects, sometimes he went with breakfast, and sometimes he did not.
What a coincidence today, I have already used it early.
"Our fourth young lady only used a little bit just now. It happened that the lady invited our young lady over. Our young lady can use more from the lady. It's really great." Yuchun was very good at speaking and continued with a smile.
"The Madam loves the Fourth Miss the most." The old woman said repeatedly.
"You go back and report first, our young lady will be here soon." Yu Dong ordered.
The old woman nodded, turned and left. Yuchun came back, re-dressed Qu Moying who was already sitting in front of the dressing table, and then tied a veil for her.
"Miss, when can you take off your veil?" Yu Chun asked while tying it neatly.
"It should be soon!" Qu Moying said calmly.
He said, looking at the girl in the mirror who had tied a veil on her eyes, hiding her stunning beauty, with a calm and composed expression.
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly on her knees to calm the tension in her chest. Today was a special day. She thought she was calm enough, but she didn't expect that it would be so difficult for her to calm down. She pressed her chest with her hand, and her heart beat faster than usual.
When she arrived at the lady's room, she had just had breakfast. When she saw her coming, she asked her to sit down and asked someone to bring her a portion of fragrant rice porridge.
The porridge made from these fragrant rice was also a tribute. Qu Zhizhen didn't get much, and most of it was kept by the lady-in-waiting, who made porridge for her.
"I heard that it was not used much. Use some from grandma." The lady said softly when she saw that her face was not very good.
My nanny hurriedly brought a chair over and asked Qu Moying to sit down with a smile.
Qu Moying did not refuse anymore and sat down. Her appetite was really poor today. She only ate a few spoonfuls and could not finish any more. She could only force herself to drink a few more mouthfuls and had to put down the porridge in her hand.
"Grandma, please use it. I have used some just now." Qu Moying pressed the corner of her lips with the handkerchief and said softly.
"Ying girl, you are too thin. Have you always used so little?" The lady looked at Yuchun with dissatisfaction.
Yuchun hurried forward to report: "Miss used to use more, but today she used very little."
"What happened?" The old lady also had a sudden thought. She couldn't sleep this morning, so she got up early, thinking of having breakfast with her two granddaughters. That's why she sent someone to call Qu Moying over. Now seeing her like this, she felt more and more uneasy.
When she woke up in the morning, her eyelids kept twitching and it hasn't stopped yet. The lady is very worried.
"Grandma, it's nothing, I just feel a little uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen." Qu Moying said softly, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked uneasy.
The lady's brows furrowed even more. She actually felt the same way, which was why she was acting so abnormally. However, she couldn't say such words in front of her granddaughter at this moment. She could only force a smile to comfort her and said, "What could possibly make you so uneasy? Your grandmother is in charge of the affairs inside the mansion, and your father is in charge of the affairs outside the mansion. How can a little kid like you worry so much?"
"Grandma, I really feel uneasy." Qu Moying sighed and rubbed his eyebrows twice with his hands, feeling a little sleepy.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" The lady felt that she didn't sleep well when she saw her. Her face darkened. "How did the people around you take care of you? How come you didn't get enough sleep?"
"Grandma, don't blame them. It's me... I was dreaming last night. I kept dreaming about mother." Qu Moying interrupted the lady's scolding, "I kept dreaming about mother saying... saying..."
He couldn't continue speaking here, with some trembling and bitterness, and then raised his head and looked at the lady longingly: "Grandmother, can you tell me about my mother? I... I have never seen her, I have only heard people talk about her, but what I heard in the mansion before... It seems that there is nothing good about her. My mother... my mother is really... really unworthy of being the wife of the main house?"
