The little lady of the Hou's Mansion who traveled through time

Chapter 45 The death of Shao Shi, full of doubts

Sixth Sister had been to Shen's house many times before, but this was the first time she stayed overnight at Shen's house.She is young, but she gradually understands that today is different from the past.

The child is well-behaved, never crying, but always lowering his head, like a timid deer in panic.

In the evening, after dinner, Xiao Ming took Sixth Sister to bed.

After Song Sijun helped Shen Yinghan lie down, he went to Liumei's room.

Pushing open the door and going in, I saw the quilt on the bed was wrapped into a ball, and Sixth Sister was curled up inside, crying silently.

Song Sijun sat down beside the bed with the lantern in his hand, didn't say anything, but quietly patted Liumei on the back.

After a while, Sixth Sister choked with sobs and said, "Uncle Song, I miss my mother and my sister. I want to go back."

Song Sijun reached out to wipe away his tears and asked, "Then do you want to go back?"

Sixth Sister shook her head, "Sister said, I will not be bullied if I stay by your side, and my aunt will not bully my sister and brother." Her voice trembled slightly from crying, "I don't want my sister and brother to be bullied." Being bullied by the aunt. I will stay here obediently and be obedient..."

This child is sensible, but also makes people feel distressed.

Song Sijun nodded, "Nian Nian is a good boy."

"Never mind?"

"Niannian is you, and Shen Niannian will be your name from now on."

This kind of thing was incomprehensible to the young sixth sister, she looked at Song Sijun puzzled.And Song Sijun, who had never been a parent, didn't know how to explain it. He could only cover the other party with a quilt and promised, "I will take good care of you in the future."

Shen Niannian choked with sobs and murmured: "I miss my mother... My sister said that we will never see her again."

Looking at Nian Nian at this time, Song Sijun suddenly had some doubts about Shao's suicide.

Chastity was indeed important to women in ancient times, but Shaw had three children.

As a mother, would she really abandon her three young children and choose to commit suicide because of such things as chastity?

Song Sijun hesitated and asked, "Nian Nian, did your mother do anything strange after giving birth?"

"Strange things?" For young children, she didn't understand what kind of things were strange.

So Song Sijun asked in a different way: "What did your mother do after giving birth?"

Shen Niannian frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed her fingers and said: "Mother ate sweet poached egg soup, and gave me some, it was delicious and sweet. She also changed her clothes, because she was uncomfortable from sweating...and asked her sister to put the Give her the needle and thread, and I want to make a tiger-head hat for my younger brother..."

Just these things, it doesn't look like a person who wants to commit suicide.

"Is the tiger head hat ready?"

Shen Niannian shook her head, lowered her head with a lonely expression, "Mother's clothes are all beautiful...my brother doesn't..."

At this moment, a terrible thought came to Song Sijun's mind.

After coming out of Shen Niannian's room, she saw Xiao Ming standing at the door.

Xiao Ming explained: "Master Hou was worried that Miss would be afraid of sleeping alone, so he came to accompany her."

After all, Shen Yinghan was more careful.

Back in the room, Shen Yinghan asked, "How is that child?"

"It's a bit uncomfortable, but it will be fine after a while."

Shen Yinghan nodded, and said to Song Sijun, "Come and rest quickly, too."

"Master Hou, Niannian just said that before Shao's death, he planned to make a tiger head hat for his newborn son." He looked at Shen Yinghan, "I suspect that there is something wrong with Shao's death."

"Didn't she die of physical weakness after dystocia?" Shen Yinghan didn't know that Shao committed suicide.

Song Sijun shook his head, "Uncle said he committed suicide and left a suicide note, saying... he lost his virginity and was ashamed to see others..."

Shen Yinghan immediately understood, "It's ridiculous!"

"After Shaw woke up, he didn't show any abnormalities. He even told Niannian that he would make a tiger-head hat for the child, but he committed suicide that night... This is very unreasonable."

Even if the other party really felt ashamed to let Song Sijun deliver the baby, he was ready to commit suicide.Then, as a mother, she will also arrange for her own children first, and then commit suicide.

At least the tiger head hat will be ready...

After Shen Yinghan pondered for a moment, he asked, "Have you read Shaw's suicide note?"

Song Sijun shook his head, "Uncle informed me... I was a little excited when I heard the news, so I didn't ask any further questions."

"Shao Shi was originally a servant girl, so she was illiterate..." How can you write a suicide note if you can't read?Shen Yinghan thought for a while, then shook his head hastily, "Some maidservants can also read. Maybe it's just that we think too much. Who would kill her? Even if Mrs. Wu is jealous, she probably wouldn't have the guts to kill her."

"It was not Mrs. Wu who killed the Shaw family, but Wu Qing." Song Sijun walked up to Shen Yinghan and reminded: "Master Hou still remembers the first time we went to Wu's house. I had a quarrel with Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu said that if I like it, The child, so he adopted him. Do you still remember what you said at that time?"

Shen Yinghan frowned slightly, "I said that I intend to adopt that child, but she is reluctant to part with her mother..."

As long as the Shaw family dies, the sixth younger sister will be adopted by Shen Yinghan, and Wu Qing can use this relationship to gain the backing of the Shen family.

After all, Shen Yinghan lives in the favor of the Shen family. Although he is smart, he believes in the perfection of human nature. "Impossible. Wu Qing has read the books of sages. It is impossible for him to kill the person next to him for some benefit."

Song Sijun wanted to tell him that even a person who has read sage books and is full of benevolence and morality will turn into a terrible demon for some benefits.

But when the words came to his lips, Song Sijun swallowed again, he felt that for Shen Yinghan, it was good to live in such a simple way.

There are not many years left for Shen Yinghan, so why force him to face the darkness of human nature.

He will find out about this matter and ask Shen Huaqing for help.

In front of Shen Yinghan, let's go like this.

So Song Sijun said: "Master Hou is right. Master Wu is also a person of high morals and respect, after all, it is impossible to do such a thing. I guess it is because of Shao's death that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I am so suspicious and want to shirk responsibility , let yourself feel at ease."

Shen Yinghan comforted: "You are also here to save people."

Song Sijun hummed in a low voice.

There may never be a standard answer for the importance of life and dignity.

After checking the charcoal stove, doors and windows, Song Sijun lay down next to Shen Yinghan, smelling the fragrance of the medicine on his body, and still thinking about Shao's affairs in his mind.

"Your Majesty! Madame..."

The originally silent voice became noisy, and someone outside seemed to be calling them.

Song Sijun hurriedly got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and then saw the butler standing at the door with his third sister in his arms, and the third sister was still holding Shao's youngest son tightly in her arms.

The third younger sister was in a mess, her body was covered in dirt and scars. When she saw Song Sijun, she knelt down in front of him and begged, "Mrs. Hou, save me! Father and the others are going to kill me!"

After saying a word, the child passed out.Fortunately, the housekeeper reacted in time and caught the third sister and the child in her arms, which prevented the siblings from falling.

At this time, Song Sijun vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart.He asked the housekeeper to support the third sister, and then reached out to hug the baby who was tightly held by the third sister.

The baby's body was still warm, but he was not breathing.

Shen Yinghan heard the movement, was also woken up, and walked out, "What's wrong?"

Song Sijun bit his lip and hugged the lifeless child in his arms, "Master Hou, this child is dead too."

He worked so hard to pull the mother and son back from the gate of hell, but in the end both mother and son died.

All of a sudden, there were mixed feelings in my heart, including anger, sadness, and a sense of powerlessness.

This night is destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.

At this time, a servant came over and whispered to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper came forward to report: "Master Hou, the Wu family came over, saying that the third girl in their family has gone crazy and stole her newborn brother and ran out."

Song Sijun hugged the lifeless child and looked at Shen Yinghan, "Third sister told me just now that Wu Qing and the others wanted to kill this child."

The housekeeper looked at Shen Yinghan, "Master Hou, how should we deal with this?"

Shen Yinghan lowered his eyes and said, "Go and ask uncle to come over."

Soon, Shen Huaqing was invited over, and the members of the Wu family were also brought in front of everyone.

On the way here, the housekeeper had already told Shen Huaqing about the matter, so when he arrived in the courtyard, Shen Huaqing glanced at the servant who was chasing after the Wu family, then looked at Shen Yinghan, and said: "Leave this matter to me, you go to rest. "

Shen Yinghan knew that the other party cared about him, and was afraid that he would be hurt by staying up late, but when something like this happened, he couldn't sleep, "Uncle, you can't sleep."

Shen Huaqing sighed, "Then I'll deal with it quickly." He looked at Song Sijun and asked, "Do you know how that child died?"

"Poisoned." Song Sijun replied, "I checked carefully just now, the nails are black, and there is a fishy smell in the mouth, it is because they were fed rat poison."

"Where's the girl who brought her here?"

"I was frightened and ran over in the night wind. When I came here, I didn't wear any shoes. I was in a coma with a high fever. The servant girl has already gone to make medicine. She probably won't wake up until tomorrow morning after taking the medicine."

Shen Huaqing: "I heard from the housekeeper that the girl came with the baby and said that Wu Qing wanted to kill the child. But the servant of the Wu family said that the girl was crazy and stole the child."

"Third Sister is definitely not crazy. Master Hou and I saw her today, and she is fine."

Shen Yinghan on the side nodded, agreed with Song Sijun's statement, and added: "I'm afraid there is something hidden about the Wu family. If the third sister hadn't been driven into a hurry, she wouldn't have come here tonight."

Shen Huaqing: "But why did Wu Qing kill his own flesh and blood?"

"I think, I'm afraid it's because I told him today that this child has a disability..."

For Wu Qing, who has many heirs, it is not impossible to do such a thing.

Shen Huaqing ordered to the entourage at the side: "Go to the Wu Mansion and let Wu Qing come over."

As soon as the entourage left, a servant came to report that Wu Qing had arrived.

Shen Huaqing listened, and smiled contemptuously: "It's sensible." He turned and sat down, took the hot tea brought by the maid, and drank it while waiting for Wu Qing's arrival.

"Miss Wu San! Miss Wu San... Where are you going..."

Accompanied by Xiaoming's call, the third sister stumbled and ran in front of the crowd. Seeing Shen Yinghan and the others sitting in the room, she knelt down in front of them again, "Master Hou, please make the decision for my brother and mother!"
