It had been half an hour when the doctor came, and Ms. Zheng was already cold and out of breath.

She was miserable. She died in a dusty utility room, with blood flowing all over the floor. None of her children were around, and no one was around to see her die.

Her husband Xiao Wenhao went after Xiao Yunxuan, so he did not accompany her.

However, Xiao Wenhao chased for a long time but failed to catch up with anyone. When he came back, he heard that his wife had passed away.

If something like this happened, the housekeeper would naturally have to report it to Xiao Yushi.

Xiao Yushi came to inquire and saw Qin and Xiao Yunyue sitting on the ground, with frightened faces. The ground was covered with jewelry, and each one looked very familiar.

Zheng's corpse was in front of the two of them, with her eyes closed and the big gash on her head that had been struck by an ax was particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Yushi walked to the jewelry and squatted down, picking up Yuyao's jewelry one by one. Some of them were stained with blood. He would wipe them clean with anger in his eyes.

After picking up the jewelry, he stood up to leave. The first person to react was Xiao Yunyue. She hugged Xiao Yushi's waist and shouted loudly: "Father, don't leave me."

Xiao Yushi didn't stop, took off her hand and left without even looking at the mother and daughter.

After walking out of the door, he told the housekeeper: "Go to the Yamen and report it to the officials. You can deal with it as you please. There is no need to come and ask me."

After saying that, he held Yuyao's jewelry box and walked all the way. He looked obsessed, with a smile on his lips, and carefully held the box of jewelry, because it was all Yuyao's things, and Yuyao was all Used.

Because someone died and there was still a prisoner in the guarantee period who was pretending to be dead, the Yamen reported it to the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Wang, the head of the Criminal Department, and Mr. Cao, the head of the Yamen, came with the officials.

The officials first surveyed the area around the crime scene, then questioned the housekeeper and witnesses, and finally brought Zheng's body, as well as Qin, Xiao Yunyue and Xiao Wenhao back to the Yamen.

Shouning Court

The old lady woke up and heard about Zheng being hacked to death.

"Where is the eldest... eldest son?" The old lady asked when she saw that she was surrounded by servants and none of her grandchildren were around to serve her.

"Old madam, the eldest son returned to the Imperial Academy and said he would go back and have a look."

The old lady twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a sneer.

Imperial College? Still want to go back to the Imperial College?

Such things as filial son and virtuous grandson are all fake and deceptive.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

She just fell down, and no one around her paid attention to her or waited on her.

Okay, okay, very good, very good. If she doesn't have a good time, no one else will have a good time.

"Go and avenge the death of your mother for the eldest son." These words came out of the old lady's mouth.

After the death of his mother, Daqing stipulated that serving officials should observe filial piety for thirty months, and during the period of hardship, they should be removed from their official positions and focus on observing filial piety for their mother.

This is a law set at the beginning of the Daqing Dynasty, not a custom.

Therefore, many officials in Daqing basically do not report any funeral events at home. Anyway, funerals are usually held behind closed doors at home, and the court will not know about it unless they report it.

Even if he is discovered later, he will at most be demoted and receive a salary penalty, but the probability of being discovered is extremely small.

The current emperor and the empress dowager have always cherished talents, so they basically didn't ask anything about this kind of thing. Even if they knew about it, they would turn a blind eye and let the officials go.

It is also troublesome to report Ding Jian. During the thirty months of Ding Jian and the next two years, marriage is not allowed.

Keep it a secret, keep a low profile when you get married, and forget about it.

Xiao Yunfeng returned to the Imperial College to see the progress of Daqinglu's compilation. He also went to the library to find a few books and take them home to read. He didn't know that as soon as he walked away, the old lady would do this trick.
