New widow

These words were very rude. Zhang Qing happened to be holding a glass of wine in his hand. After hearing this, he put the glass on the table and said with a half-smile: "Why, our Nanyang Marquis Mansion cannot have contact with the British Duke's Mansion." ?”

Seeing Zhang Qing's change of expression, the man was stunned. A steward next to him hurriedly came over to smooth things over: "Little brother, it's not like that. It's just because the family is encountering troubles one after another. As for us people, we are busy with greetings and deliveries every day. I want to take some time to rest."

There was some truth in what he said, but Zhang Qing lowered his eyes as if he didn't hear it. The butler had already picked up the wine glass and smiled apologetically at Zhang Qing: "After you drink this glass of wine, I will accompany you to find the Marquis?"

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Qing took the wine glass and said, "No need, I won't bother you here." After that, Zhang Qing drank the wine in one gulp, handed it over to everyone, and then stood up and left.

After Zhang Qing left, the housekeeper hit a boy on the head: "I've told you, don't say anything you shouldn't say these days. I don't know what's going on in the house."

"But the Duke of Guo was indeed fine the first day." A young boy muttered. The housekeeper glared at the man and then sighed: "You are too young and have not experienced anything. You don't know how to bring disaster to your mouth." That makes sense."

Although Zhang Qing said he was leaving, he quietly hid himself outside. Did he hear the housekeeper say that trouble comes from his mouth? Zhang Qing couldn't help but frown. What on earth was the Duke's Mansion hiding? Could it be that there was something really strange about Song An's death?

Zhang Qing thought in his mind and ran around the mansion again. Everyone in the Duke's mansion was busy with funerals, and some people saw them.

When asked, Zhang Qing still prevaricated and said that he was from Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

Some people pointed out to Zhang Qing where the Marquis of Nanyang was, and even wanted to take Zhang Qing there. Zhang Qing hurriedly smiled and said: "You are all busy, so why should I disturb you? I'd better go by myself."

These houses were almost the same vertically and horizontally. Where was the reception hall? Therefore, Zhang Qing's words did not arouse any confusion among others. He pointed out the direction and went about his business.

Zhang Qing was walking on the road when he heard voices coming from behind, which sounded like complaints. Zhang Qing's ears couldn't help but stand up high, and he planned to listen carefully.

"Is Aunt Zhou still making trouble there?" The woman who spoke was a woman, and the other woman's lips curled up: "Of course she is making trouble, but Mrs. Huang has already locked her up, what can she do."

"You have been with Aunt Zhou for a long time. Tell me, is it really Aunt Su who did this?" When the woman spoke, she looked around, but Zhang Qing had already heard the voice and started to look around. Hiding behind a pillar, the two of them naturally didn't see anything.

"The Duke's health has become worse and worse over the years. You also know the temper of the previous wife. Our aunt is favored, so naturally she has other thoughts." These other thoughts are in vain to be corrected. But in this noble family, it is common to pamper an aunt, and to support an aunt is not allowed not only within the clan, but also according to the law.

So another woman tsk-tsked her tongue: "Look, Auntie Zhou is also thinking too much about herself this week. The Duke of Guo is coaxing her, and she really thinks she can be a wife."

"She wants to live up to her expectations and give birth to a son. She might be able to become a dowager in the future. At this moment, she happens to be Aunt Su.

My mother was pregnant and she was so anxious that she couldn't do anything. "The two women laughed and walked forward. Zhang Qing waited for them to walk out for a while, and then walked out from behind the pillar.

It seems that the two aunts in the Duke's palace are not at peace at all.

Zhang Qing returned to the yard. Su Du was looking at the files in the room. When he saw Zhang Qing walking in, Su Du looked up. Zhang Qing knew what Su Du was thinking, but he didn't tell him. He picked up the teapot and drank all the tea in one go. Then he changed his clothes and said, "Let's see, you can go alone next time. I won't do this again." It’s over.”

"You must have heard a lot of things today, tell me quickly." Su Du dropped the file and walked up to Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing laughed and then said what the ladies said.

"So, I have to ask these two aunts." After listening to this, Su Du pondered for a long time before saying this.

"If this is the case, this is a serious crime against ethics." This is what Zhang Qing thought of. It's a serious crime against ethics. If you really submit it like this, I'm afraid the British Duke's title will be taken away.

Su Du lowered his eyes. Maybe the emperor wanted such a result and took the opportunity to take away the title of Duke of England. Otherwise, how could a harem woman say something casually, and the emperor solemnly summoned the Minister of Punishment and told him to investigate it carefully.

Thinking about it, Su Du sighed softly. Zhang Qing and Su Du had been together for a long time. Hearing Su Du's sigh, he knew that things were probably more complicated than he thought. When he opened his mouth to ask, Su Du had already called out loudly. people. This means meeting the two aunts of the British government.

The boy passed the news inside. When Mrs. Huang heard this, she hurriedly came to report Su Qiao. Su Qiao was right at that time

When she lit incense in front of the soul, Su Qiao frowned slightly when she heard this, and she almost didn't hold the incense firmly in her hand.

Song Zhen on the side took the incense from Su Qiao's hand and inserted it into the incense burner for her. Suqiao then said to Mrs. Huang: "Since it is an official family that wants to pass on the news, let's invite them in."

Madam Huang has already withdrawn and made arrangements on her own. Song Zhen stood next to Su Qiao and asked softly: "You said his death is true?"

Is there really any other reason? Su Qiao looked at the spiritual tablet. The incense in front of the spiritual tablet was burning slowly, and the smoke had blocked the words on the spiritual tablet. Suqiao said softly: "Yes or no, we can only make our own decisions."

Song Zhen couldn't help but hold Su Qiao's hand. These days, Song Zhen knew that everything she knew was of no use in the British government. And all Song Zhen can do is to wait with Su Qiao, waiting for the funeral to be completed, waiting for the Ministry of Justice to investigate the cause of Song An's death, and waiting. Just like his mother, she was waiting in a small town for the day she would return to the British government. It was such a long day but she didn't know when it would end.

Su Qiao felt that Song Zhen's palms were slightly sweaty. She patted Song Zhen's hands reassuringly. With her fate settled, many things would become much easier.

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Su were each summoned to Su Du. Since they were the female dependents of the Duke's palace, Su Du ordered people to arrange a screen and they were arranged to sit behind the screen.

Seeing this arrangement, Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up and she said loudly: "Master, I can tell you that this matter was done by none other than Aunt Su. She was jealous of the master's promise to correct me. Later, the master wanted to marry a new wife, she thought

, the new wife got pregnant, gave birth to a son, and the piece of meat in her belly could not get anything, so she took a desperate risk and had someone put medicine in the master's cup. "
