"It's Chonglou. When I went out, I was threatened by him. He threatened me to set fire to the ancestral hall. It's best to burn my wife and the eldest girl to death, otherwise... otherwise... he will kill my whole family! I didn't do it either." There is a way..." Lao Wu said with lingering fear.

"What?" Mother Chen gasped, this is too vicious!

The old lady narrowed her eyes in displeasure, she seemed to have heard the name Zhong Chong Lou before!

"What does he look like?" Chen's mother came to her senses and hurriedly asked.

"It's very tall. I heard that Prince Jin belongs to him..." Before Lao Wu finished speaking, he suddenly fell down and twitched while clutching his chest.

Everyone was shocked, and when they realized it, Lao Wu had died of anger.

"Old Wu, what's the matter with you, you should speak clearly!" Mother Chen hurriedly stepped forward to check Lao Wu's breath, and her face became difficult to see.

Old Wu is dead... Before he finished speaking, he was already dead!

"Call the doctor over here!" the old matriarch glanced at Lao Wu and ordered.

She remembered that Shen Yiyi has an older brother named Chonglou who has been working under Prince Jin.

So what does this mean, that Shen Yi's reliance on his grandson was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end?

After a while, the doctor came over with the medicine box. He checked Lao Wu carefully and determined that he committed suicide by taking poison in advance, and there was no possibility of survival.

"Reward!" The old lady said solemnly.

Chen's mother quickly touched a piece of silver and stuffed it to the doctor, and asked someone to send him out.

"Old Madam, you've been tired all day, why don't you go back to your room and rest?" Mother Chen looked at the old Madam with some concern.

The old lady nodded, and took Mother Chen back to the room.

"That Zhonglou is Yiyi's eldest brother, right? He is still working under Prince Jin, what do you think he is up to?" After the old lady calmed down a little, she felt that something was wrong, but Lao Wu is dead, and there is no evidence for his death!

"Old matriarch, I'm afraid that what Lao Wu said may not be true. Just think how long Madam and the eldest girl have been locked up in the ancestral hall, and the Chonglou Building has gotten wind of it, unless he puts an eyeliner in the mansion! But Prince Jin didn't This ability, how could he have this ability? There are very few people who know about Seventh Girl falling into the water today. Moreover, Sanniang has been guarding Seventh Girl's side, not leaving half a step, how did he get the Chonglou You know? Because Sanniang confuses the audience outside, everyone thinks that it is Madam who fell into the water!" Mother Chen pondered for a moment and boldly analyzed.

That Lao Wu's confession is full of loopholes and cannot withstand any scrutiny at all.

"What you said is not unreasonable. You should send someone to Lao Wu's house to check immediately, and check all the people who Lao Wu came into contact with today and yesterday!" The old lady felt a little more at ease, but for Just in case, she added a sentence later.

"Send someone to watch Chonglou. If he goes to find Yiyi, Sanniang must pay more attention. I'd rather make a wrong investigation than be a sinner of the Chu family through the ages!" The old lady ordered with a serious expression.

"Yes, this old slave will arrange it now!" Mother Chen arranged the task overnight.

Even the cause of the fire in the ancestral hall is being re-investigated.

However, the opponent did it too covertly, and found no clues until dawn.

The old lady sat on the soft couch all night without sleeping, she seemed to be a few years older.

"Old Madam, if you don't rest, your body may not be able to take it anymore!" Mother Chen came over with ginseng tea, her face full of worry.

"What happened to the Chu family, how could I be able to sleep?" The old matriarch sighed, the ancestral hall of the Chu family was on fire, and if it spread, it would make others laugh.

After a pause, the old lady asked again: "By the way, are Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao awake?"

"Woke up, fell asleep after drinking the medicine." Mother Chen said cautiously.

"Well, since we can't find out, then it will be considered that they have contributed to protecting the ranking of their ancestors. From now on, the eldest girl's monthly silver will be increased to ten silver, and I will give them a few bolts of snow mountain silk treasured in my house." Send it over." The old lady thought about it and ordered.

The astonishment in Chen's mother's eyes flashed away. The old lady has always kept those snow-mountain silks, and they were rewarded by the queen mother.

Wearing clothes made of snow-capped silk in summer is super cool, smooth and soft!

Sending them all out at once is a bit too generous.

"Don't Mrs. Madam keep one for herself? I'm afraid the summer will be even hotter next year..." Mother Chen reminded gently.

"It's an old bone, there's no need, since they like it, then just give it away." The old lady doesn't care, as long as Zhao and Chu Qianqian can think about the Chu family, since she won't treat them badly!

"Hey, I'm going to make arrangements now, old slave!" Mother Chen retreated tactfully and began to make arrangements.

When Mo Lian received the reward, she was so excited that she didn't pretend to be asleep. She got off the couch and stared at the two snow mountain silks. She had thought about this for a long time before, but the old woman couldn't even look at it. Did not look at her.

But this thing is very precious, they are all paid tribute to the palace, not leaked out, other people can only wait for the reward.

As early as two years ago, a wife from an aristocratic family asked her: Why didn't I see her wearing this kind of silk clothes?

After all, her son is nine thousand years old, it is impossible that the emperor has not rewarded him!

She was so angry that her face was green. Of course her son had it, but all those rewards were held in the hands of the old woman, and all she could get were leftovers from the old woman!

"Ma'am, this fabric is really smooth, and the patterns are still embroidered on the opposite side. It must be cool to wear in summer!" Xiaoyin hurriedly flattered her.

"Well, I didn't expect that she would be willing to give it this time!" Zhao Suhe wanted to laugh out loud, but the eldest daughter was smart enough to make the old woman spit it out with a little trick.

"When the old matriarch heard that his wife and the eldest girl didn't even want their lives, and that they would protect the ancestors of the Chu family in the ranking, they didn't speak for a long time. According to the slaves, the old matriarch decided that he had changed his mind on the madam and the eldest girl. And ah, that old Wu has already confessed, saying that Miss Seven's eldest brother ordered him to set fire to the ancestral hall in order to harm his wife and eldest lady!" Xiao Yin said happily while observing Zhao Suhe's reaction.

"Hehe, well done!" Zhao Suhe was elated when he heard that, even if he couldn't drag Shen Yiyi into the water, he still wanted to make her smelly!

"Madam, the old matriarch came to see you last night, and stayed in the eldest girl's room for a long time afterwards, I'm afraid she blamed herself..." Xiaoyin couldn't help but said after a while.

"It's impossible to blame yourself. She's only setting out for the interests of the Chu family. Go and see if the eldest girl is awake, and ask her to come over when she wakes up!" Zhao Suhe ordered disapprovingly.

Chu Qianqian woke up a long time ago, and when the old lady raised her monthly silver and gave her snow mountain silk, she didn't show any joy on her face.

Because she wants more than these two things, it proves that the scene last night was not deep enough!

"Miss, madam wants you to go there!" Xiaoyin said respectfully.

"Well, you asked little master to wait for me at the old place, and I'll come as soon as I go!" Chu Qianqian got up slowly, packed up and went to mother's place.

On the other side, Shen Yiyi's right eye kept beating wildly, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Especially when Sanniang was bringing her breakfast, a maid hurriedly ran in, leaned into Sanniang's ear and said something to Sanniang, and Sanniang left in a hurry.

"What happened?" Shen Yiyi's heart skipped a beat, she looked at Dongdong and asked.
