The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven
Chapter 41: Beaten to death with a baby in her belly
Madam Pei's eyes lit up, and she instantly became interested: "Oh? What three things? And, you told me so readily, didn't she tell you not to tell anyone else?"
Aunt Deng smiled and said, "Madam, the young lady is very clever. She knew you would be curious, so she told me that if you ask, I shouldn't feel embarrassed and will tell you."
Madam Pei laughed out loud, "She really doesn't treat me as an outsider anymore. So, should I behave like a gentleman and stop asking questions, or should I be a nosy old woman who insists on getting to the bottom of this?"
Madam Deng: "Old Madam, you are not a gentleman, why do you care about these things? I will tell you!"
Aunt Deng knew that Madam Pei was very curious, so she ignored her nod and continued, "The first thing the young lady did was to ask this old servant to find a few people."
Madam Pei: "Who?"
Aunt Deng: "They are the general's two previous concubines. One is surnamed Zheng and the other is surnamed Lou."
Although Mrs. Pei has not been in the mansion in recent years.
But in fact, she had heard about many things in the general's mansion.
After all, I have nothing to do in Qingsong Temple all day, so I just rely on these things in Jinling City to entertain myself, right?
So, when the topic of these two came up, Madam Pei could immediately chime in: "Madam Zheng, Madam Lou? As I recall, weren't they both banished to some farm?"
Madam Deng: "Old Madam, you are not mistaken. But Concubine Zheng disappeared on the way to the manor that year, and her whereabouts are unknown. Concubine Lou is easier to find. She has a daughter who is also at the manor."
Although Mrs. Pei would not interfere, she was extremely curious.
Curious about what Li Qingluo is going to do?
Why is she asking about her father's aunt?
"What else? What are the other two things?"
Nanny Deng: "The second matter is about the house in Prince Yun's mansion. The young lady said that there is a fat woman who has been coming in and out there frequently recently. Her surname is Liu and she is the wife of a butcher."
"She asked this old slave to send someone to approach this Madam Liu. It would be best if they were acquainted with her and could take action at any time."
When Mrs. Pei heard this surname, she instantly thought of something.
"Could it be that Liu family?"
Madam Deng: "I haven't found out yet, but I'll know in two days."
"But, old lady, how did the young lady know about Prince Yun's mansion? Everyone knows where she's been these past few days. She's unfamiliar with Jinling City, and apart from us, there's no one to help her find out about these things. How did she find out?"
Madam Pei glared at Madam Deng and scolded her, "You're still too stupid! She's been missing for a few days, and you really think she was just running for her life? I bet she must have found her way to the vicinity of that house. She became concerned about this matter because she saw this woman surnamed Liu."
Madam Deng remembered something and clapped her hands together excitedly. "Oh, the people sent by the old slave came back and said that the mansion has been quietly searching for a runaway slave these past two days! But they haven't made any big announcements! This matter can't be related to our girl, right?"
Mrs. Pei was also surprised when she heard this: "She wouldn't be so bold, could she? Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"But if everyone with the surname Liu has found that house, and the person kept there is indeed Li Qingzhu, doesn't that mean she has already had some contact with the Liu family?"
Nanny Deng nodded and looked at Old Madam Pei.
Madam Pei's face turned cold. "If that's the case, then my foolish son, stupid daughter-in-law, and crazy grandson have truly misplaced their sincerity and have been fooled around by this little bitch."
"Nanny Zhang!"
Nanny Zhang had been listening nearby and now she lifted the curtain and came over to listen.
Madam Pei: "Go and find out who Li Qingzhu was interacting with before she set herself on fire. Especially the one with the surname Liu. When did she start interacting with him? Also, what is her relationship with Prince Yun's Mansion?"
Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment. "Old Madam, all the maids who served Miss Zhu'er in the mansion were killed in the fire. If all her close associates are dead, it would be difficult to find out the information."
Madam Pei: "Don't these maids have any family members? As long as there is one left alive, we must find a way to pry open their mouths no matter what!"
Aunt Zhang: "Yes."
After giving this instruction, Mrs. Pei quickly asked about the third thing.
Nanny Deng didn't hesitate and continued, "Madam, this third matter concerns the eldest son."
"The young lady asked me to investigate a maidservant named Mei Xue who used to be with the eldest master."
Madam Pei: "Why are you investigating a maid? What's so special about her?"
Madam Deng: "This old servant has found out that Mei Xue died two years ago."
Madam Pei: "Dead? Died a violent death?"
Madam Deng nodded repeatedly, "Old Madam, Mei Xue was beaten to death. She was said to be pregnant when she died..."
Mrs. Pei opened her mouth in astonishment.
She had never heard of this matter in Qingsong Temple.
It can be seen that this matter was kept secret in this mansion at that time!
Two lives were lost in this house.
Mrs. Pei felt both sad and angry.
"Did you find anything?"
Madam Deng: "When I first asked people about Mei Xue's matter privately, they all kept their mouths shut. No one dared to speak."
"But money talks. The young lady gave me twenty taels of silver and asked me to go and do the work. I used it, and hey! How can there be any secrets?"
"Regarding Mei Xue's death, the most common theory currently is that she was... personally... killed by the eldest son..."
Madam Pei flew into a rage: "Asshole! Is this Mei Xue his concubine?"
Aunt Deng: "She's just a bed warmer, not even a maid in the same room!"
How pitiful.
Madam Pei's chest heaved with rage. "How could he be so cruel? Could it be that the baby in Mei Xue's belly isn't his own flesh and blood?"
