Chapter 334: Windfall
Chapter 334 Windfall
While the guards were cleaning up the pool in the courtyard, Chu Nanzhi began to think about how to talk to Lin Tingzhen about Jiang Xiaoniang's past.
It's just that this man loves his concubine and destroys his wife to such an extent, if he says something wrong, it may arouse his anger and suspicion.
After thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly blinked alertly, and she said with a smile: "I heard from my Dalang that the acquaintance between the uncle and the aunt was a romantic story back then, and I don't know how the uncle captured the heart of the aunt. ?”
"Da Lang still tells you these things?"
Lin Tingzhen was a little surprised.
"It's just a chat between husband and wife, I have talked about it occasionally."
Chu Nanzhi replied calmly.
"I see."
Lin Tingzhen suddenly showed an embarrassing expression: "As for your little aunt, when I first met her, she was also a hot figure, sought after by thousands of people, but she only took a fancy to your uncle and me among the crowd, Although she was unfortunately trapped in prostitution, she is a person who emerges from the silt without being stained, and knows how to keep herself clean, which I admire even more."
"That's right, my aunt is not only beautiful, but also intelligent."
Chu Nanzhi echoed with a compliment.
I just don’t know how he will feel when such a perfect person on the tip of his heart will be revealed soon.
When Jiang was mentioned, the expression in Lin Tingzhen's eyes gradually became complicated, and he sighed with pity and shame: "It's also the uncle's fault, he almost failed her."
"Why would Uncle Clan say that?"
Chu Nanzhi asked curiously: "Could it be because the elders of the clan made things difficult for us when we welcomed her into the mansion?"
"Cough, it's hard to say."
At this point, Lin Tingzhen was a little bit embarrassed, and didn't want to go any further.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to ask straightforwardly: "Is it because of the child?"
"how do you know?"
Lin Tingzhen faced her with a look of astonishment.
Could it be that this woman actually knew the dirty things she had done?
No, only she knows about this matter, and it is impossible for her eldest nephew to know about it. How did she know about it?
Chu Nanzhi nodded secretly, which surprised Lin Tingzhen again, and hurriedly said: "It's all old stuff, don't mention it."
Chu Nanzhi saw him hesitate to speak a few times, afraid that he really didn't want to say it, so she didn't force it anymore.
Just at this moment, a rather old-fashioned woman staggered in and asked the two of them, "My lord, my young lady said that she has to go to Puluo Temple to pray for Sanniang, so I asked the old lady The slave came over to ask the master what he meant."
Hearing this sudden sound, Chu Nanzhi felt goosebumps in his heart.
It is really hard to describe this weird voice, and I always feel that something is wrong.
She immediately raised her eyes and looked at the old woman in front of her carefully. No matter how she looked at it, she felt strange and awkward.
The smell of makeup and powder on the face makes people feel sick.
Lin Tingzhen quickly explained: "This Jiang Nanny belongs to your aunt's yard."
"Mother Jiang?"
Chu Nanzhi suddenly remembered Zhao Taigong's words, that the Jiang family was almost drowned in a pig cage in Tong County, but fortunately an old woman rescued her.
Thinking of Lin Sanniang's death, it was this old woman who took the lead to deal with it. It must be that the relationship between the two is extremely unusual.
She faced Jiang Nanny directly, and asked meaningfully: "Are you the old nanny who saved my little aunt's life?"
"Nan Zhi, how did you find out about this?"
Lin Tingzhen looked astonished again.
Mother Jiang quickly waved her hands and said, "This old slave doesn't know what the lady is talking about."
After finishing speaking, his expression became extremely flustered, and he hurriedly bowed to Lin Tingzhen: "Please come over earlier, my lord, the young lady is pregnant now, and the old slave is worried that there will be mistakes if the young lady goes out of the city alone."
After that, he turned around and rushed out of the house.
"Old mother, what happened today."
Lin Tingzhen felt that she was acting weird today. Seeing her nephew and daughter-in-law was as frightening as seeing a ghost.
Not daring to delay any longer, he said to Chu Nanzhi in a gentle voice: "Don't bother about chasing wind and shadows, my niece and daughter-in-law, don't be fooled by that vile woman, I have to accompany your aunt back to Puluo Temple, let Everyone get out."
Chu Nanzhi saw that the pool in the courtyard was about to be cleaned up, and she was a little unwilling, so she reacted quickly in her mind, deliberately delaying the time:
"Uncle Clan, from what you said just now, you know that the old mother saved my aunt, right?"
"It's not even a rescue. This mother Jiang has been with your aunt to take care of her when she was at her worst. Naturally, in the eyes of me and her, it is more than a life-saving grace."
After Lin Tingzhen finished explaining, he lost his patience, and began to urge: "Let's go, let's go, wait for the old uncle to take care of the affairs of Pu Luo'an, and then invite you and Dalang to come to the house when I come back."
"Why is Uncle Clan so anxious? Just now I asked Uncle Clan if he knew if there was anyone in the backyard who knew the nature of water. Uncle Clan didn't know, but I did know one. Don't Uncle Clan want to know who it is?"
Chu Nanzhi secretly glanced in the direction of Chizi while speaking.
"There is something to be curious about."
Lin Tingzhen looked disdainful: "There are a lot of people in Luyan Port who know water, so it's not surprising that they know water."
"But I'm curious."
Seeing that the water in the pool was finally drained, Chu Nanzhi's tone of voice became a bit tougher, and she walked into the pool by herself, and saw a yamen servant pointing to a pool wall near the inner courtyard and said: "Miss Chu, this water is poured in from here."
Chu Nanzhi inspected it carefully, and found that these irregular pool walls were all made of boulders, and there were signs of looseness.
She excitedly told the officers: "Move these stones away."
Lin Tingzhen rushed over when he heard the sound, and said dissatisfiedly, "Nan Zhi, what are you doing?"
"Didn't I promise Uncle Clan just now that I would find the person who framed Da Niangzi for you?"
Chu Nanzhi unhurriedly bent down and looked into the crevice of the stone, and found that behind the wall of the pool was a hole in the ground, with half a pool of water underneath.
It seems that the murderer inserted the boning knife from here.
The problem that had troubled her for a long time finally took shape.
At this moment, Li Sanmu rushed over from the outside, sweating profusely, and shouted at Chu Nanzhi happily: "Miss Chu, we have found a new clue."
"What clue?"
Chu Nanzhi deliberately raised her tone, and looked at Lin Tingzhen.
"We found blood stains five meters outside the willow window."
Li Sanmu replied.
"Uncle Clan, I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you to delay for a while."
Chu Nanzhi didn't hide anymore, and said bluntly: "Now, as a lawyer for Lin Jinhui and Mrs. Zhou, it is my bounden duty to speak out for their mother and daughter."
I didn't expect to find clues so easily. Not only is it easy to clear Zhou's suspicion, but it is also extremely easy to identify Jiang Xiaoniang.
"you"
Lin Tingzhen was a little annoyed, but the guards found the clue, and he couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to compromise, and quietly watched these people tossing around in the yard.
He wants to see what this woman can come up with.
