Chapter 228
"Concubine Chen?" Zhang Yi frowned and muttered to himself, thinking about his beard and frowning: "Is that Chen Ning, Concubine Chen?"
"Yes, it's her."
Wu Qingchun went on to say: "Zhenzhen and the others were in the backyard at the beginning. I don't know the details. It seemed like they were just in a verbal conflict, and in the end they pushed a girl into the water."
"Girl? Whose family does she belong to?"
"That's just a wild girl from the village. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that Concubine Chen seems to like her quite a lot."
Wu Qingchun’s report of 1510.
"Then Guifei Chen is famous for her generosity. There is no way she would deliberately make things difficult for us because of a wild girl."
Zhang Yi has indeed been in the officialdom for most of his life, and he knows everything clearly.
"If this matter was really done by Concubine Chen, she wouldn't hide it like this. At least my unlucky daughter wouldn't disappear for no reason like this."
After hearing this, Wu Qingchun also felt that it made sense. With Chen Guifei's status, if she was really unhappy, she could recruit Wu into the palace and find a reason to keep her. No matter what, she would do it openly and honestly.
Maybe he disappeared without any reason.
Thinking of this, Wu Qingchun also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's find someone first no matter what."
Zhang Yi is also older, and he looked tired after a while.
Wu Qingchun was panicking because his most important matter had not been settled yet.
"The official salt..."
"Hmph! A bunch of careless things."
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "You go back first and let me investigate first. Before that, you don't know anything about what others ask or say. Do you understand?"
Wu Qingchun quickly bent down and saluted. If his father-in-law intervened in this matter, it would be 70% to 80% settled.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Now that Zhang Yi saw his son-in-law, he became very angry.
"Let's go, let's go quickly. I don't expect anything from you. It's enough to be nice to my daughter."
Wu Qingchun finally left with peace of mind. As the founding Duke of the country, Zhang Yi still had a certain right to speak.
When Mrs. Wu and Wu Yi came out of the dungeon, their faces were pale, but there was no trace of scars on their bodies. They seemed to have lost their souls, walking forward mechanically.
Three days had passed when Wu Qingchun saw his wife again. At this time, she had long lost her previous brilliance. Her hair was as messy as a chicken coop, her eyes were dull, and her originally plump little face was now sunken.
When I walked in, I had two big dark circles under my eyes, as if I had been abused. She didn't look like a lady, but she was worse than a beggar on the street.
Wu Qingchun felt disgusted after seeing it.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Wu Minzhen got the news, she rushed over immediately, but when she saw her mother's appearance, she didn't recognize her at all.
"What happened to my mother?"
Wu Minzhen pinched Wu Yi's arm and asked with a fierce expression.
Wu Yi, who was originally as strong as iron, was now limping. The bones in his feet were obviously broken, and the blood on the bones had condensed into lumps. However, he still looked like he was not in pain or itchy, dragging the bones.
An injured leg was walking forward in a daze.
"You are talking! What happened to my mother? What happened?"
Wu Minzhen kicked Wu Yi angrily. With Wu Minzhen's height, she could only hit Wu Yi's legs. But this slick kick was the last straw that broke his back. Wu Yi, who was originally a tough guy, kicked him down.
On the ground.
There was a "wow" sound, which stunned everyone's eyes.
"What exactly is going on? Did any of you see where the two of them came back from?"
Wu Qingchun questioned the doorman.
"Sir, my wife and Wu Yi are both here. We saw them from a long way away. They walked forward slowly and went straight to our house. At first we thought they were two beggars."
The doorman's voice became quieter and softer, and he nudged another doorman standing next to him.
"Yes, yes!" Another somewhat dumbfounded person continued: "The two of them walked all the way from the corner of the street, and we didn't see anyone suspicious."
This was strange. Wu Qingchun quickly sent more people to go out to investigate. It was abnormal for Mrs. Wu and Wu Yi to disappear, and their behavior after returning was even more abnormal.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you call the doctor quickly?"
Wu Yi was naturally invited to go down, but Mrs. Wu sat on the bed and said nothing. Even if others spoke, you seemed not to hear them and would not cooperate at all.
Seven or eight doctors were called in and a lot of medicines were prescribed, but no one could explain Mrs. Wu's symptoms.
After Zhang Yi arrived, he heard about his daughter's condition and immediately went to the palace to invite an imperial doctor back.
"Mrs. Ling's absence syndrome is a strange thing! I have never heard of it. I can only give you some prescriptions to soothe your nerves and nourish your qi. Take your time and see if you can get better."
After the old lady doctor came, he didn't know anything about his condition. The family obviously hid something from him. Doctors are very particular about looking, hearing, hearing and asking for details. This family was good. Even the wife's illness was not disclosed, so he had to prescribe some soothing drugs.
The recipe is right.
The Wu Mansion has been gloomy these past few days, and Mrs. Wu's problem has not improved. As expected, Lin Ping's incident was found out. Fortunately, the official still has some friendship with Wu Qingchun, and the matter of buying and selling officials is a big deal in the capital.
The place was also sparse and ordinary, so Wu Qingchun took a lot of troubleshooting before suppressing the matter.
Wu Qingchun caught Lin Ping and gave him a good scolding.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I know I was wrong! Just spare me this time."
Lin Ping and Lin Miaomiao were twins, and their coquettish ways were exactly the same. Wu Qingchun couldn't stand Lin Miaomiao's coquettishness.
"For the sake of your sister, I will spare you this time. If you continue to be so arrogant, I will break your legs."
It can be said that Wu Qingchun cared more about his brother-in-law than his own daughter.
"Then I'm going to visit my sister right now!"
After Lin Ping finished speaking, he jumped away and ran away. Wu Qingchun behind him looked at him and shook his head.
"sister!"
After Lin Ping entered the house, he carefully closed the door.
"I heard something happened recently?" Lin Ping put away his careless appearance after entering the door.
"Your news came quickly!"
A enchanting woman walked out from behind the curtain. This woman was very charming, and she seemed to be able to lure away people's souls with just one frown or a smile.
"Haven't you heard that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles?" Lin Ping sat down and poured himself a glass of water, drank it all and continued: "Mrs. Wu disappeared for three days and three nights for no reason. She came back.
My clothes are messy and my hair is unkempt. Sister, if this incident spreads outside, wouldn’t the whole Wu family’s faces turn into a palette of anger?”
When Lin Ping said this, he laughed uncontrollably.
"What a pity! I have no chance to see such a grand occasion. My sister has to enjoy it in this mansion."
"That's a good idea of yours," Lin Miaomiao raised her eyes and looked at her younger brother: "You're also very thoughtful. Why did you get yourself involved this time?"
Lin Miaomiao was obviously referring to the matter of buying an official position.
"I don't want to either. The government has been conducting strict investigations recently. I thought the Wu Mansion had been quiet for a long time. I just threw a stone. Who would have thought that Mrs. Wu would disappear, otherwise I wouldn't expose myself.
Woolen cloth!"
Lin Ping said with disdain.
"If you ask me, you men are not a good thing. Then Mrs. Wu is completely devoted to you, but you are adding insult to injury like this."
