Traveling to the ancient harem

The housekeeper acted quickly and Tingfengju was surrounded. Everyone inside was in a panic, not knowing what was going on.

The few people sent by the eldest lady also arrived. They were a few capable middle-aged women. As soon as they entered, they detained all the people in the yard in the center of the yard. The first place they started searching was Qiu Die's house.

It was a small room with simple furnishings, including a bed, a box, a desk and dressing table, a small table, two small stools, and the rest were bedding.

Several people searched Qiu Die's room very carefully, even checking the cracks in the wall, but found nothing. Then they went to check Qiu Wen's room, then the cook's room, and then the maids and servants' rooms, and searched them all carefully, but found nothing.

The maid who was searching the yard reported to the old man's wife's yard. The old man didn't say anything. He was waiting for the imperial physician from the palace to come.

He waited until his two sons returned from duty and invited the imperial physician from the palace, and then they came in together to see what was going on with the old uncle.

The old uncle ignored his two sons, welcomed the imperial physician in, and asked her to take Xu Rou's pulse.

The imperial physician felt the young lady's pulse carefully and said, "Your young lady is in good health, there is nothing wrong with her." He was really puzzled. She was fine, why did they invite him here? And why did they wait for him for so long? He had important things to do today and was very busy. When he asked the visitor what her symptoms were, she couldn't tell him clearly. He came here quickly after he finished his work.

After the imperial physician left, the old uncle asked everyone to leave, leaving only the three of them, father and son. Xu Shizi couldn't help but ask, "Father, what happened?"

The old uncle frowned and recounted what had happened. With things developing to this point, their mansion had to take a stance, otherwise they would become the public enemy of all the noble families in the capital.

Before they could think of a solution, someone outside the house came to report: "My Lord, someone is coming from the palace."

The father and his two sons came out to greet the Queen. The one who came from the palace was Aunt Yingchun, the most capable lady beside the Queen. At this time, Madam Bo and Madam Da also rushed over after hearing the news. The group welcomed Aunt Yingchun in and everyone greeted each other and sat down.

Aunt Yingchun used to be a maid in the mansion. She was the eldest maidservant beside the empress at that time. She entered the palace with the empress and has been with the empress ever since. She is the most capable aunt in charge of the empress.

Of course, the people around the Queen can not be treated as family children, but can also be treated on an equal footing with the old uncle. The people in the uncle's house are also respectful to her.

Aunt Yingchun didn't waste any time. She told him directly how the matter was reported to the palace and how the Empress was furious. She also analyzed the consequences of the matter with the old uncle. In short, she let the uncle's family make their own decision and not implicate herself in the palace.

The old uncle was deeply disappointed. This was his daughter. She would never think of her parents' home when good things happened, and was afraid of getting herself implicated when things went wrong. Her selfish character was exactly the same as her mother's.

"Don't worry, your Majesty. The Earl's Mansion will handle this matter properly and will not implicate her." The old uncle said sarcastically, not caring whether Aunt Yingchun could understand him or not, and served tea to see the guest off.

After Aunt Yingchun left, the room fell silent. The Second Master didn't dare to say anything more. Although he usually disliked his eldest brother and would antagonize him in front of their mother for no reason, it was because he was resentful that his eldest brother could become the crown prince. Those were all minor quarrels and their own family affairs.

His daughter has caused such a big trouble this time, and he is a useless man. He can only rely on his father and brother to solve this problem.

"There are some things I have to say." Xu Shizi was not afraid of offending his second brother: "There is something wrong with this seventh girl, and it is not a small problem. If this continues, even if nothing happens today, there will be a bigger disaster in the future."

"What do you mean?" The old uncle and the second uncle looked at him at the same time.

Prince Xu signaled to his wife, and his wife told them everything about how Xu Rou had tortured and killed maids and how several people had died. The old uncle and the second master were stunned when they heard it, and the second master was even more unbelievable. His son Xu Jingye was a good-for-nothing, so it was possible that he had done it, but his daughter was well-behaved and sensible, with a sweet mouth and a kind heart. Could it be that the seventh girl they usually saw was a fake?

"Those who have died were bought from outside. Some reported that they died of illness, and some reported that they hanged themselves because they were depressed. Because they were bought orphans, no one pursued the matter.

If you don't believe me, you can call the maids from Tingfengju over. None of them is good, but no one dares to say it. Just look at that little girl Qiudie. She was beaten to a bloody pulp a few days ago, and was locked in the woodshed for a day and a night without food. She almost died."

"That Qiudie wasn't bought from outside, she's a real family-born child."

"Why didn't anyone report this?" The old man was so angry that his face turned blue. If the news of such a wicked man coming out of the Bo's Mansion got out, what would happen? Would the girl in the Bo's Mansion still want to get married?

"My wife has told my mother." The wife of the prince looked at the wife of the uncle with grievance. It was all because of her mother-in-law. If she had taken care of her when she was young, perhaps there would not be such a disaster today. You know, this incident may affect her eldest sister's marriage. Her eldest sister has just been engaged. If the other party cancels the engagement because of this incident, where can they go to seek justice? It can be said that she hated the wife of the uncle at this time.
