The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 525

Huang Zhi personally welcomed Mu Yunzhi in and whispered the whole story. Mu Yunzhi had already heard it from the guard, and now that her cousin had told her in detail, she found it even more terrifying when she thought about it.

"The thief——, is he from the mansion?"

Huang Zhi shook his head. "There are so many people coming and going today that it's very difficult to track them down. I asked my cousin to come because you and my second sister-in-law are welcoming guests today. See if you can remember anything?"

After entering the main hall, the second steward and the guard carried the old woman in. Pei An and Mu Yunzhi greeted each other and without giving much time to say, Huang Zhi asked the old woman to explain in detail.

After listening to this, Mu Yunzhi shook her head.

"My dear, cousin, it is really difficult to identify them just by the color of their clothes. Not to mention that there are quite a few young ladies here today, even this straw-colored clothing is the popular color in the capital this year. In addition, they have been in our house for a long time, and they may have changed their clothes to other colors. It is very difficult to tell for sure."

Pei An was not discouraged after hearing this.

"The position is that of the eldest young master's wife, which is probably not much. Why don't I discuss it with Sanlang and ask Miss Mu to recall it again."

Huang Zhi went from house to house. The Li family? Mu Yunzhi shook her head. The one who came to the Li family today was the Third Young Master's wife. The Chen family? The one who came to the Chen family today was the Second Young Master.

He asked them one by one, but Pei An suddenly thought of something and asked, "Jin family?"

Huang Zhi looked up, "From Jin Yunfan's family?"

As soon as the voice fell, Mu Yunzhi's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, "Yes! But the wife of the eldest young master of the Jin family is wearing goose yellow clothes today-"

Huang Zhi asked, "Never changed it?"

Mu Yunzhi shook her head, "No." Then she mentioned several other young ladies, but Pei An had already made up his mind. When he asked the maid again, she only said that it was grass green clothes. "The maidservant in front of this young lady was generous and gave me ten big coins as a reward."

She was afraid of losing her life, so she didn't dare to hide the money anymore. She took it out and handed it to the second steward. After taking a look, the second steward said, "There's nothing unusual about this money."

abnormal?

"Send it to Doctor Lin to find out the truth."

Pei An gave the order, and the second steward was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately took it out. Not long after, he ran back and said, "Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, there is something wrong with this silver coin. It has been in the arms of this old woman for quite a while, so the smell of the heartbreak grass has been lost. But after Doctor Lin wiped it with water, the mouse he caught rolled its eyes after eating it."

It turned out that someone had already caught a nest of lively little mice. Doctor Lin was afraid that his guess might be doubtful, so he simply wiped the mice with a white cloth soaked in water and fed it to the little mice.

The little mice haven't grown up yet, and they can only detect whether something is poisonous by a little bit.

He wanted to be safe, and the people in the room also had a clue. Huang Zhi leaned over and said to the old woman, "If I ask you to identify her again, can you recognize the eldest young master's wife?"

The old woman dared not answer.

The second steward stamped his feet anxiously, "The third young master is asking you a question, so tell me, even if you sent a hundred pots of tea today, you wouldn't forget this young lady, right?"

After hearing what the second steward said, the old woman raised her head, not daring to look at the third young master. She looked at Mu Yunzhi and said, "The second young master's wife told me that the guest was distinguished and told me not to sneak a peek. I saw the eldest young master's wife from a distance and knew what she was wearing, but I didn't know what she looked like. Before she was brought to me, her maid came to me and took the tray away."

Mu Yunzhi also lowered her body, "Do you remember that maid?"

The old woman didn't dare to say she didn't remember, and just said, "I'm afraid I'll have to see her to recognize her." That being the case, Mu Yunzhi didn't hesitate, and stood up and said to the two gentlemen, "I'll take this old woman to the women's room for a walk, just as an extra dish, to see if we can find the maid."

"Did the maid give you the money?"

The old woman nodded repeatedly, "She gave it to me and said something polite, her voice was so soft and pleasant, I took the reward and left."

When Mu Yunzhi left with the old woman and the second steward, Qin Qingdong and Chun Ge also rushed to Fengxi Pavilion, "What happened?"

Pei An invited him in and whispered the reason to him.

Qin Qingdong didn't even raise his eyelids, "...you are so blind." He was sure that it was Jin Fuyun's doing, but he had no evidence in front of Huang Zhi, so he couldn't say it out loud.

Chun Ge looked around for a long time before retreating back inside. "Fourth Master, Sister Yuyan and Sister Jindie are both busy. They said that the banquet is about to start, and they need to serve the dishes with the young lady..."

Huang Zhi heard this and looked at Pei An, "Silang, watch the food at the banquet now. I'm afraid the thief won't have a chance to poison the food."

"Of course I wouldn't dare. Guan Zhou was having dinner with my mother and Aunt Huang. If something really happened, the thief would be killed along with all his clan!"

General Jin?

I'm afraid that Silver General and Bronze General are useless.

Seeing that Chun Ge was about to leave, Pei An opened his mouth and ordered, "Chun Ge, go look for A'lu again." The dishes were being served and the wine was being warmed. The banquet had already started in the house, but the second son of the Qin family and the fourth son of the Pei family were missing from the table. When the old man of the Huang family saw this, he immediately called his second son to go look for them.

Huang Zhe was led by his servant to Fengxi Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted anxiously, "You three gentlemen, please take your seats quickly. My father is waiting for you."

After a closer look, everyone looked serious and asked again, "What happened?"

Huang Zhi had put on a smiling face, "Second brother, it's nothing serious. The maids had stomach problems and started making a fuss. Erlang and Silang and I happened to run into them, so we came over to ask about it."

"You have a stomachache?"

Huang Zhe laughed, "It's just that the little maid is greedy, and she left the three of you here. Hurry up, there are uncles and aunts waiting at the table."

Pei An and the other two looked at each other, tacitly agreed not to mention the poisoning, and followed Huang Zhe to the cafeteria.

After entering, the three of them apologized to Mr. Huang and other elders at the table. As for the female relatives, Mu Yunzhi was very good at handling things. She brought two maids, carried trays, and placed plates of snacks on each table.

She changed from her previous dignified and shy appearance to become more generous.

Feng Rufeng looked a little surprised, but then she looked at her mother-in-law and felt relieved. She turned around and held her daughter-in-law's hand, "You have brought up your cousin very well."

As soon as these words were spoken, the women at the table also began to praise him.

Everyone asked about the wedding date of Huang Zhi and Mu Yunzhi. The old lady of the Huang family smiled and said, "There is still some time. Yunzhi will leave for home to get married in two days. The next time she comes to me, she will be my third daughter-in-law."

It is obvious at first glance that the old lady particularly likes Mu Yunzhi.

Song Guanzhou held his chin with one hand, and became interested. "Aunt, please don't despise me for being naughty and refuse me entry. I want to make trouble in Sister Yunzhi's bridal chamber."

What?
