Chapter 968 Beating
There may be ghosts in the world, but Xia Zihan doesn't believe that ghosts dare to show up and disturb the world.
If ghosts could disturb the human world, then so many unjust ghosts and subjugated ghosts would be ready to avenge themselves.
There are so many evil people in the world, but they will not live long.
Xia Zihan ordered, "Go back to Prince Rong's Mansion and continue to monitor and write down everything you see. Remember, don't alert the enemy."
The other party is so weird. Once you startle the snake, you don't know what means the other party will use to deal with you.
Sanba had developed a fear of the back garden of Prince Rong's Mansion. He was afraid, but his master had given an order and he had to go.
Sanba lingered for a long time and had dinner at Prince Anjun's Mansion, and then reluctantly sneaked into Prince Rong's Mansion.
As for Xia Zihan, after Sanba left, he wrote a letter to Chu Jingqi and told Chu Jingqi about Mrs. Chu.
Of course, she didn't say who poisoned Mrs. Chu.
The poison in Mrs. Chu's body has been present for half a year, and it has been more than a year since she went to Chu's house. You don't need to guess, it must be Chu Jingwu's people who poisoned Mrs. Chu.
Since it was the matter of the second wife, Xia Zihan would not interfere. However, for the sake of Mrs. Chu, she would try her best to detoxify Mrs. Chu and let her live a few more days.
And she had to tell Chu Jingwu that she was poisoned.
Although she doesn't care about the affairs of the second wife of the Chu family, it doesn't mean that she and the Zhuo family will know that Mrs. Chu was poisoned and still conceal it.
In that case, what difference does it make to the person who poisoned her to kill her?
Although Mrs. Chu is narrow-minded and arrogant, her crime will not lead to death.
She thought about it and decided to let the third child go to Chu's house and pass a few words to Chu Jingwu.
The third child was going to Huguo Temple to play when he was caught by his sister-in-law as a laborer. He was not happy and said, "Sister-in-law, we have agreed, we are just passing on a few words. I will not do anything else. I have made an appointment with my friend. I can’t miss my appointment at Huguo Temple.”
"I told you to pass a message and you could go to heaven. Third child, did you think you had escaped because your mother didn't catch you this time?"
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, it's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding." The third child was busy making excuses to Xia Zihan, laughing and joking, for fear that Xia Zihan would catch him and send him into his mother's hands.
He lied to his mother that day. In fact, after his eldest cousin met him on the street, he invited him to Chu's house to play. He felt bored for a while and went there, dragging Dalang with him.
Although his mother did not object to him calling Chu Jingwu his first cousin, nor did she object to his eldest cousin having contact with Prince Anjun's palace, her mother did not like him and his second brother going to Chu's house.
He had never been to Chu's house once. When his eldest cousin invited him, he went out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by Chu Yixuan, his nephew. He accidentally told Chu Yixuan about this, and Chu Yixuan betrayed him and told his mother about it.
He was so sissy, he wanted to take him to kneel in the ancestral hall, but he escaped early.
His mother has no martial arts skills. Even if she wanted to catch him, she couldn't. However, his sister-in-law is different. He can't beat her in martial arts, and she can't compare to her in light kung fu. If she tries to catch him, she can catch him with just one move.
"Sister-in-law, I will send a message and I will definitely get your message across. However, you also know that mother doesn't like me going to Chu's house. When the time comes, mother knows about it and will blame me. You have to stand in front of me." The third child He looked at her pitifully.
Xia Zihan hummed, then lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Lao San's ear.
The third child nodded his head a few times and went to Chu's house.
As for the Chu family, as soon as the third child left, Chu Jingwu went to the room. When he saw Mrs. Chu, without saying a word, he slapped Mrs. Chu from the kang to the bottom of the kang.
Mrs. Chu was stunned. Before she could react, she was kicked a few more times by Chu Jingwu. The pain finally brought her back to consciousness. She cried, "Husband, what have I done wrong to make you do this to me?" If you don’t give me a reason for being beaten like this, I will never let you go.”
"Reason?" Chu Jingwu had a gloomy face, "Poisoning and murdering elders, this reason is enough for me to divorce you."
Chu Jingwu's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, then looked confused, "Husband, what are you talking about, poisoning to kill elders, you...you mean, grandma is not sick, but poisoned? Do you suspect that I poisoned grandma?" ”
"If it's not you, who else?" Chu Jingwu's eyes almost sparkled, "These are the only people in the family. Apart from you, the rest are all blood relatives of my grandmother. They will not harm my grandmother." .”
"So, you doubt me?" Mrs. Chu said with a look of despair, "I tell you, I didn't poison her. Grandma is sick. I don't serve her carefully every day because I'm afraid that if she doesn't do what she wants, she will do something to me. My granddaughter-in-law was thrown into the dust, but I didn’t expect that my filial piety would turn into a poisonous woman in your eyes.”
Tears fell from Mrs. Chu's eyes. She was distraught and cried heartbreakingly, shouting about injustice. The crying Chu Jingwu also calmed down.
He said, "Grandma said it was you. She told her third cousin that she saw you poisoning her medicine soup."
Mrs. Chu wiped her tears and finally realized, "No wonder, every time I stew the soup for my grandmother, my grandmother would find all kinds of excuses not to drink it, otherwise, she would force the maids around her to drink it, just because she is worried about me. It will poison her to death.”
Mrs. Chu suddenly laughed wildly, with a very crazy expression, "She was wrong, I did not poison her, the person who poisoned her was someone else, hahaha... She hated the wrong person, not me, I I just put some restorative powder in her tea , I just wanted her to rest more and recover her body quickly. I didn’t expect that such a shrewd person as my grandmother would be stabbed in the middle of the road. Hahaha... She deserved retribution. She deserved to be poisoned. ”
"Shut up." Chu Jingwu saw that she was getting more and more off-topic, so he scolded her hastily, which made her sober up a lot.
Chu Jingwu didn't know who to believe. He thought about it and finally sent a few boys to investigate the matter.
As for Mrs. Chu, Chu Jingwu temporarily deprived her of the rights of housekeeper, and was confined in the house, copying scriptures. All the people she served personally were arrested by Chu Jingwu, locked in the firewood room, and were brought up for interrogation one by one.
After a whole night of investigation, there was no progress, and Mrs. Chu's maids were also stubborn. No matter how Chu Jingwu tortured them, they would not give evidence against Mrs. Chu.
Chu Jingwu arrested again the people who were transferred to serve Mrs. Chu in the past.
More than a dozen people knelt in half of the yard. Everyone lowered their heads and begged for mercy. Some of them were smart enough to go find Xia Zihan to save him.
