Chapter 1046 Murderer
The soul bearers not only carry the souls, but also bury them.
The male heirs Chu Xuanyu, Chu Jingwen, and Chu Jingwu also had to stay here and bury the coffin with them.
Xia Zihan helped Zhuo down the mountain.
"Hey, why are you so careless? A rope as thick as a child's wrist will break if it breaks."
Zhuo murmured.
Xia Zihan also wondered how such a thick rope could break easily, but it broke and crushed someone.
At that time, they were on the mountain, and the coffin fell. If Chu Xuanyu, who was standing next to the coffin, had not blocked it with his palm, the coffin would have rolled down like a ball.
Once the coffin rolls over, the tribesmen following the coffin and Xia Zihan will be crushed by the coffin.
"Ayu, tell me, is it possible that someone wants to harm our family and deliberately takes advantage of today to cause damage?" Zhuo asked suspiciously.
"I was walking in a hurry just now, and I didn't even check where the rope broke. If someone had tampered with it, I would definitely be able to find out something."
Anyone who dares to harm her Chu family will be repaid a hundred times if she finds out.
A fierce look flashed in Xia Zihan's eyes. After returning home, she immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.
"What's wrong? Something happened?"
When Chu Jingqi walked in, he saw that his precious daughter-in-law's face was not good-looking. He walked over and rubbed her cheek, "What on earth happened to make you so angry?"
"Someone tampered with the rope that tied the coffin. The rope broke. It almost rolled down the mountain and crushed us to death." It’s so easy to crush your feet.”
Chu Jingqi's expression suddenly became cold and gloomy, "I will investigate this matter, you don't need to interfere."
"I have sent Chu Lin to investigate."
"Let the fox check."
It would be easier for the secret guard to investigate this matter more secretly than the maid. Xia Zihan thought about it and said, "Then let them investigate together."
Maybe the person who did this was too crude, or maybe he was unlucky, and the matter was discovered before nightfall.
Before dinner, Fox and Chu Lin came together to report.
The fox said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Princess, the little maid has been recruited."
Chu Lin said with anger on her face, "It's really shameless. I didn't get any property, but I came up with such a vicious way to harm everyone. We from Anjun Prince's Palace didn't ask for a penny of the old lady's property. She Why are you so vicious that you want to harm even the people from Prince An’s Mansion?”
The person who harmed the Chu family was not an outsider, but Chu Jingxiu who hated everyone.
Chu Jingxiu did not get a share of the old lady's property. She hated the Chu family in her heart. She hated the brothers Chu Jingwen and Chu Jingwu for dividing up all the property that should belong to her. She also hated Chu Xuanyu and the Zhuo family for not helping her when she was in the most difficult time. Give her a hand.
She even hated Chu Jinglan, who never provoked her.
Chu Jinglan's life was better than hers, and he was happier than her. She was jealous, envious, and hated him.
And the person she hated the most was Mrs. Chu. In order to please Mrs. Chu, she did not go home for two months and served her personally, treating her every step of the way. As a result, not only did she not get any benefits, but she also caused a lot of trouble, which ruined her reputation. , became notorious, and was almost divorced by Min Sibo.
What made her even more angry was that Mrs. Chu would fall out whenever she wanted, without caring about the feelings of her grandparents and grandchildren, and even wanted her to stay in prison for the rest of her life.
In short, she hated everyone in the Chu family, especially Mrs. Chu, so she secretly tried every means to cause trouble at Mrs. Chu's funeral.
Firstly, she can take revenge on the Chu family she hates the most, and secondly, she can also take revenge on Mrs. Chu.
Let her die without peace.
Chu Jingxiu hated Mrs. Chu to the extreme.
"Did Chu Jingxiu move his hands and feet?"
After learning this truth, Xia Zihan's expression was not much surprised.
The only people who dared to tamper with the Chu family and had the opportunity to do so, apart from the servants of Prince Anjun's palace, were the only clan members who came to the Chu family early to pay homage to Mrs. Chu, and the four brothers and sisters of the second wife and their families.
The servants of Anjun Prince's Mansion are all Zhuo's confidants, or people trained by Chu Lin Fox. They are loyal to Anjun Prince's Mansion and will never have any intention of harming them.
And the tribesmen... even if they were jealous of Anjun Prince's Mansion, they would never have the courage to act recklessly in Anjun Prince's Mansion. Therefore, the only people who could be suspected were the second-bedroom members of the Chu family.
Chu Jingwu has always been aware of current affairs, and Chu Xuanyu has promoted him. He will never harm the Chu family. Chu Jinglan has never participated in the fight between the second room and Dafang, so her suspicion can be eliminated. The remaining two people, Chu Jingwen and Chu Jingxiu, are the most suspicious.
Therefore, when Fox Chulin found out one of the two of them, she was not surprised at all, as if she had expected it.
"The maids have all been recruited." Chu Lin said, "In my whole life, I have never seen such a shameless person."
"She was not living a good life, so she hated Mrs. Chu for having secured the wrong matchmaker and married the wrong man. She even hated the princess. She said that if the princess could help her find a good family, she would be married to the wrong man. Now she will not end up in a situation worse than death.”
After the divorce was over, Chu Jingxiu held the dowry that the official had found for her, thinking that she would be able to live a good life in the future. Little did she know that the Min family's aunt and sister-in-law were not easy to mess with.
Aunt Min was resentful that Chu Jingxiu had robbed her of her pension money, and she refused to give Chu Jingxiu a good look every day.
Chu Jingxiu wanted to come to Anjun Prince's Mansion to cry for Mrs. Chu, but she was often away from the Min family. The Min family's aunt would get sick every few days, so she asked the maid and her mother-in-law to go to the doctor, and everything was paid for by the government.
Not to mention, the sister-in-law of the Min family also held a grudge against Chu Jingxiu for taking away her dowry. She deliberately went to Baiwei Pastry Shop to buy snacks and dried fruits every day, then went to a clothing store to buy clothes, and a jewelry store to buy jewelry. in the account.
When Chu Jingxiu had time to go back, what awaited her was a pile of bills and debts. She was so angry that she threw those bills in the faces of Aunt Min and her sister-in-law, declaring that she would not repay their debts.
Aunt Min was not in a hurry, she just went to the gate, crying, shouting and accusing, isn't Chu Jingxiu unfilial? He even refused to give her money to see a doctor when she was sick, etc...
No one in the alley was living a peaceful life.
As time went by, someone came out to persuade Chu Jingxiu to be more filial and not be too mean to Aunt Min.
After the imperial censor heard about this, he even submitted a memorial to the emperor and reported Min Sibo to the emperor.
