Chapter 185 Slap Zheng Shi
Mrs. Zheng folded her hands in front of her body, glanced left and right, and silently pinched the back of her hands, hoping to feel more energetic.
The surroundings were clearly lit by torches and there were many people standing around, but at this moment, I still felt that the footsteps were unusually clear.
Finally, we arrived at He's courtyard. The person who lifted the curtain this time was not Nanny Lu, but someone from Dali Temple.
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, then lowered her head and entered the door.
Like Mrs. Zheng, Mr. He was wearing ordinary clothes, with her hair spread out. It looked like she had fallen asleep and been quarreled by someone.
There was only the couple who lived in the second house, and they were all dressed up and dressed in fine clothes, as if they had expected it.
"Mom, Qiu He, younger siblings." Mrs. Zheng said hello first, pretending to be nothing, but she didn't even notice it, and her voice was trembling.
"Okay, don't be so pretentious. Your sister-in-law is here. If you have anything to say, please tell her immediately." He said impatiently.
Although she didn't fall asleep at night, the feeling of lying on the couch was still different from being woken up. Originally, she wanted to ask Shen Qiuhe what he was doing, but Shen Qiuhe said, wait for someone Let’s talk about it when everyone is here.
Shen Qiuhe first waved his hand to Qiao Guxin and asked him to sit down, and then looked at Mrs. Zheng, "I think my sister-in-law should have something to say to us."
Zheng was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, her heart felt as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She tried to force a smile on her face, but when she twitched the corners of her mouth, an expression that was even uglier than crying came out.
"Okay, I'll just say a few words. If such a big thing happens, our family should unite and find a way to deal with it." Mrs. Zheng coughed and said a few words seriously.
It was as if everyone stayed up late at night, just waiting for her to summarize what she was doing here.
It's obvious that Mrs. Zheng is not a fool. She is always so shrewd, but now she is pretending to be stupid and good, and she doesn't know who she is showing off to.
Phew.
Qiao Guxin couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately, He's eyes were like a knife, ruthlessly cutting into Qiao's heart.
Mrs. Zheng pretended to look at Mr. He in confusion, but the trembling hand on the handle of the chair betrayed her.
Look, he must be very flustered.
Shen Qiuhe naturally already knew the truth of the matter, so now seeing Zheng's expression, he could feel He's bias.
He couldn't help but purse his mouth, and the corners of his mouth also moved downwards.
He took a sip of the tea next to him before looking at Mrs. Zheng again, "Some people saw that my sister-in-law had been conspiring with the maid who had the accident for a long time under the guise of doing work. Some people also saw that my sister-in-law had had an affair with the maid before the accident. Coming and going.”
As soon as Shen Qiuhe finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng immediately looked around, "Here, where do you start talking about this? I know that I have done something unforgivable and stupid. I work wherever there is a shortage of people every day. This is what my brothers and sisters do. You should also know. How could I, who was sincerely forgiving my sins, turn out to be a murderer in the eyes of caring people?"
After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at He, "Mom also knows that I haven't been out of the house these days, and even those who are waiting for me have not gone out to buy anything. If I really want to harm someone, I can't grab a handful of dirt from the ground. bring it on?"
What Zheng said is very reasonable, and these are well-documented.
Seeing how quickly she reacted, I might have thought that she had already expected this, had prepared her words early, and was just waiting here.
Seeing Zheng's sophistry, Shen Qiuhe sneered, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to use the means of interrogation in Dali Temple?"
Is that the only way to recruit someone?
He slammed the table and said, "Shen Qiuhe, this is home, not a place where you interrogate prisoners. What your sister-in-law said is that she feels remorseful these days, and I can see everything she did. And Your sister-in-law will leave the house tomorrow, so there is no need for her to make trouble again."
After all, there is always a motive for making trouble, and even if it is a fight for power, there must be people who can do it.
"I see, she is not admitting her mistake, but is running away in fear of crime!" She hid in Wutai Mountain early to avoid disaster on her.
"Shen Qiuhe, do you all rely on guesswork in handling cases in Dali Temple now?" Seeing that Shen Qiuhe didn't spare Zheng's words, He still protected her from the front.
It seemed that Mr. He was indifferent to Mr. Zheng in the past two days, but as soon as something happened, his attitude changed really quickly.
Shen Qiuhe leaned back and said, "If so, let's bring evidence."
He raised his hand and patted her gently. Under the gaze of everyone, the palace maid, who everyone thought would definitely die, actually woke up at this moment.
Mrs. Zheng's face changed greatly, and she held the chair tightly with her hands. She saw that the nails were broken directly due to her force, and blood slowly condensed in the cracks.
Because the palace maid is weak, she can only do a little blessing at the moment and does not have a separate ceremony.
Then it was revealed that Mrs. Zheng got close to them in the name of cleaning.
He also instigated her to poison Qiao Guxin, but she naturally refused because of fear. She didn't want to fall into Zheng's trap today. If she hadn't developed the habit in the palace, she would take a small bite before eating and eat less. Coupled with the timely treatment by the government doctors, he was able to save his life.
In other words, Mrs. Zheng was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she killed and silenced her.
After the palace maid finished speaking, her body became a little weak, so she let the people below her help her down.
People in the palace have many thoughts. Unless it is the kind of poison that will kill you if you touch it, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
In the final analysis, Mr. Zheng was careless.
However, one cannot blame Mr. Zheng. For medicines that are really that poisonous, ordinary people cannot buy them. Most of them have to spend a lot of money to go to the Western Regions to obtain them specially.
Zheng glanced around the people in the room, then raised her head and laughed, "Shen Qiuhe, they all say that a sister-in-law is like a mother. I never asked you to respect me more, but I never expected that you would collaborate with Qiao You want to get rid of me? Who doesn’t know that you are a close minister of the East Palace, a man with means, and you made such a fuss just to drive us away!"
It means that Shen Qiuhe is arranging for someone to deliberately frame her!
Mr. He frowned and said, "What your sister-in-law said is that it's really not credible for a person to speak with a red mouth and white teeth."
Isn’t this world very particular about the fear of human and material evidence?
"Since sister-in-law insists on this, let me get something out and ask my sister-in-law what she means?" Shen Qiuhe said and took out a letter from his sleeve.
This letter was intercepted by Qiao Guxin.
If she sees someone coming out of the Hou Mansion, she will follow them.
Moreover, Qiao Guxin does almost all the shopping these days. Servants who don't follow Qiao Guxin out will naturally have to pay more attention.
When the doctor discovered that the palace maid was still alive, Shen Qiuhe immediately went to check where Zheng had been and who she had spoken to in the past few days. The results were soon available.
It is certain that she deliberately approached the two maids.
Originally, even if they were checked again, they shouldn't have been found out so quickly. Who told Qiao Guxin to be prepared in advance?
Moreover, Shen Qiuhe saw that something was wrong with Qiao Guxin these days, so he asked Wang Si and everyone to be smarter. Otherwise, if something happened to the palace maid, the government doctor would not be able to show up so quickly.
When she saw the letter, Mrs. Zheng's lips trembled, her face no longer calm as before, and even the blood faded.
Seeing Zheng's expression, Shen Qiuhe snorted. There was no need to ask any more questions, the facts were already here.
Then the letter was delivered directly to He.
In fact, there is still a way to identify a person's handwriting. Even if you deliberately change it, every time it comes together or falls, it will have its own unique charm. Zheng can't argue with it.
He had vaguely guessed something in his heart, and then he opened it with trembling hands and looked at Zheng's serious nonsense.
It is said that Qiao Gu was jealous, so he could not tolerate the maid.
The matter has not yet been concluded, and Shen Qiuhe directly asked people from Dali Temple to investigate when this happened. During this period of time, Zheng would definitely have no chance to send the letter.
In other words, Mrs. Zheng already knew in advance that something would happen to her maid.
Moreover, this letter was stolen by Zheng from He's private seal and was originally intended to be sent directly to the East Palace.
Seeing He's eyes slowly closing, Zheng immediately knelt in front of He and said, "Mother, mother, you are the person who loves me the most. You told me to let me go and do it. I really only plan to do it this time. So I, I will prepare to practice practice tomorrow to atone for my sins."
She panicked and hugged He's legs, shaking them gently.
He couldn't help but laugh, and then said again and again, "Yes, it was my promise. It was my lack of defense against you that allowed you to succeed, and that made you bold!"
He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Zheng in the heart, "You vicious woman!"
Compared with the pretentiousness last time, He is really angry now.
However, he also understood that, listening to them talking here, it must be that Mr. He acquiesced in Mr. Zheng doing all this.
But now, what Zheng has done seems to have gone beyond what He expected.
Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes after being kicked, but she didn't care about the pain. Instead, she got up and crawled in front of Mr. He, "Mother, my daughter-in-law really just wants to keep her status. This matter can be easily solved. As long as the remaining one The palace maid can just follow Qiu He."
No need for Mrs. He to remind her, Mrs. Zheng also saw that Shen Qiuhe was unwilling to take a concubine, at least not yet. Seeing that the relationship between Shen Qiuhe and Qiao Guxin was becoming more and more harmonious, how could she not be anxious?
Unfortunately, the palace maid was still ignorant and could not be used by her!
Zheng naturally wanted to take a different approach.
Her letter was sent to the East Palace first, and Liang Di of the East Palace had the first idea. No matter what Shen Qiuhe found out, Liang Di would definitely feel that it was Shen Qiuhe's attempt to excuse Qiao's old intentions.
Dong Gong Liangdi is angry and may give some more concubines to her, but she wants to see if Shen Qiuhe will always protect Qiao's heart.
Zheng's purpose is very simple, that is, she does not want her second wife to give birth to her eldest son.
In this way, Shen Chongyuan, the next generation of the Duke's family, will have a distinguished status.
For Shen Qiuhe, there is nothing to lose except that there will be a few more women who cannot be dealt with in the future.
Of course, from Zheng's point of view, she could get Liang Di to give someone to her with a letter last time, so she naturally felt that Liang Di was on the same side as her, so she dared to be so bold this time.
But little did he know that Dong Gong Liangdi had already made her a favor.
Snap!
Before Zheng could finish speaking, He slapped Zheng directly in the face, "You are confused!"
He gritted his teeth angrily, wishing he could go up and bite Zheng.
Chapter completed!
