Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss
Chapter 8: Can't Bear the Stigma
Thinking of this, seeing Chu Jun already coming over, she picked up the muddy handkerchief and wiped her tears. Now her face was like a mud man, sobbing, "Father, I, I woke up early in the morning and saw the soldiers coming. They said Madam Man was gone in the room. And..."
"And what?"
Chu Qianyu glanced at the coachman standing nearby. Chu Jun immediately understood and said, "Go to the carriage first."
After the groom left, Chu Jun pulled him aside and said, "You go ahead."
"My daughter seems to know something. I didn't dare tell the soldiers just now because I was afraid of tarnishing my daughter's reputation." Chu Qianyu lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Last night, my daughter was worried about her mother's health, so she couldn't sleep for a while and went out for a walk. When she came back, she found the maid lying on the ground at the door. My daughter realized something was wrong and was scared for a while, so she hid. Not long after, she found the third son of Duke Mu's mansion walking out of my daughter's room."
When Chu Jun heard that this actually happened, he gritted his teeth and his chest heaved violently with anger.
He was about to go to court in the morning, but was stopped by the Dali Temple officials, who said that his concubine, Madam Wang, had died in an accident in the temple. And there was another man in the room. It was the third son of Duke Mu.
But he never thought that he would dare to enter Qianqian's house. He was so bold.
After recovering from his shock, he looked Chu Qianyu up and down and asked worriedly, "Is Qianqian injured?"
Chu Qianyu shook her head and said, "I didn't. I was hiding behind the tree and he didn't find me. I just don't know why he sneaked into my room in the middle of the night. So..." When she said this, it seemed a little difficult to say. She didn't know whether she should say it or not.
So he lowered his head and remained silent.
"So what?" Chu Jun asked anxiously.
"I don't know whether I should tell you the truth. I'm afraid you won't believe me." Chu Qianyu choked in a low voice. She seemed a little nervous and kept twisting the handkerchief with her hands.
"Just tell me. Father will believe you no matter what you say."
Her voice was trembling slightly. "So after I watched him leave, I quietly followed him and saw him go straight into Madam Man's yard. And it was Nanny Song who personally welcomed him in. I asked myself if I had done anything wrong to Madam Man. I don't know why she did this!" After that, she started crying again. She looked very aggrieved. She was sobbing that she almost couldn't breathe.
Chu Jun was no longer as anxious to go up the mountain to check on Wang Man. He gently patted Chu Qianyu's shoulder and said, "Qianqian, don't worry. Father will definitely get to the bottom of it." He still didn't quite believe that Wang Man would do such a thing. After all, she had been with him at the border for several years.
Although she had some small thoughts, she would not do such a vicious thing. Besides, she was very nice to Madam and Qianqian. She was kind and gentle. Maybe there was another hidden reason.
"Well, I don't believe that Madam Man would do such a thing. So I hope that father will investigate it thoroughly and not let Madam Man be stigmatized even after her death. Nowadays, many people in the temple have seen men in Madam Man's room. The regent also went there just now."
This statement really made Chu Jun feel aggrieved. Originally, he thought that if the temple was really as the people in the Dali Temple said, then let someone deal with it quietly and not spread it. After all, it was a family scandal. But now it seems that there is another hidden story. Besides, the regent also knows about it.
This cannot be handled simply.
This immediately gave him a headache. So he said to Chu Qianyu, "You go back first. Your mother is still waiting for you in the mansion. I will go up to check the situation."
She had achieved her goal now. So she nodded obediently and said, "Father, be careful on your journey. I will go back home first."
"Well, go back and change your clothes before going to see your mother. She's not feeling well right now, don't let her worry."
Chu Qianyu nodded and walked slowly towards the carriage. Chu Jun saw people getting on the carriage, then he turned around and walked quickly towards the temple on the mountain.
In the temple, Nanny Song had been awakened by the water. She looked around in panic and remembered Wang Man's death. She lowered her head with a guilty conscience and dared not speak. She didn't know what happened. Didn't Ye Yu go to the young lady's room? Why did he suddenly come to the lady again? And such a thing happened.
The officer saw something was wrong, so he stepped forward and kicked him, saying, "Tell me, do you know something?"
"No, no, no. I know nothing." Nanny Song quickly shook her head to distance herself from the matter.
"Then why are you feeling guilty?"
"No, I was just scared. When I woke up early in the morning, I heard no movement in Madam's room. I felt something was wrong, so I went in to check. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"Humph." The soldier snorted coldly and pulled her up to the side where all the maids and servants were standing. Then several soldiers escorted her down the mountain.
At this time, most people had left, leaving only the three dead. The coroner had just found out that the two maids had died of poisoning. And the poison that the maids had been poisoned with was found in the cabinet in Wang Man's room. So the coroner was asked to keep the evidence.
Because it was cold today and the case was still unsolved, it was not the right time to bury the bodies. The Dali Temple Minister ordered the soldiers to lift the two maids and place them in the charity cemetery outside the city.
Just after dealing with these, I saw the mighty general striding towards this side.
The Dali Temple Minister hurried forward and saluted, saying, "The general is here."
"Yeah." Chu Jun didn't bother to talk to him and walked straight into the room. When he reached the bed, he saw Wang Man, whose face was already pale. Then he looked down and saw that there were traces of being strangled on her neck. Half of her shoulder was exposed.
Chu Jun turned around and saw that there was no one in the room. Then he lifted the quilt and saw her white body.
Chu Jun gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He was almost furious. He had thought she was murdered along the way. But now the evidence was in front of him. He had to believe that something had happened between her and Ye Yu.
Then he walked out and said to the Dali Temple Minister: "Who else knows what happened here?"
"General, I sealed this place off when I came here. But because it involves the third son of Duke Mu, the wife of Duke Mu just came in. And the Regent happened to pass by and knew about it. Then there are these subordinates of mine and the people in your house."
Chu Jun raised his hand and pinched his brows, suppressing his inner irritation and asked: "How did you know?"
"Someone sent a message saying something happened in the temple. But we don't know the details. And the ink on the letter was specially made. After reading it, the font disappeared inexplicably. So we still have no clue."
"Well, I hope the Dali Temple official will handle the case rigorously. Don't let others spread any news that would tarnish the reputation of this general's wife."
"Of course. I have already told my subordinates to keep their mouths shut. But this matter..."
"You just need to take care of the people of the Dali Temple. What about Ye Yu now?"
"He has been taken to the Supreme Court. I will personally interrogate him when I return later."
"Well, you have to know that my wife loves me deeply and will never do anything else. Now something unexpected has happened. I think there must be something else going on."
"Yes, yes, I understand." The Dali Temple Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead.
