Chapter 268 The widow who is in a hurry to marry (1)
Nangong Huai said: "So... people die because they eat too much?" Nangong Huai didn't believe this result.
The two doctors nodded and said, "It can be said that." At least they seemed to be like this. The person was not poisoned or injured. However, his stomach was so bulging... I don't know how much I ate.
"This is impossible!" Nangong Shu screamed, "You must have killed my mother! Dad, you want to avenge your mother, it must have been them, they must have killed her mother!" The two doctors quickly lowered their heads. They didn't know what the woman was, but now they realized that she was the wife of the Duke of Chu's Mansion. This is really a big deal. At this moment, the old doctor swallowed all the other guesses and doubts in his heart.
"Stop!" Nangong Huai said angrily, "Thank you for your hard work, please ask the two doctors to go out and receive the reward."
"Thank you, Mr. Master." The two doctors quickly left gratefully. If they stayed, who would know what shocking secrets would be heard.
Nangong Mo said lightly: "Since it has been proved that it has nothing to do with the eldest brother, can my father let the eldest brother go?"
"No!" Nangong Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Who said it could prove that it had nothing to do with him? Even if there was no poisoning, it could not prove that he had not killed his mother in another way." Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Oh? What method? Let me tell you, let me hear it? I heard that Mrs. Wan died in the haystack in the corner of the cell. There should be a cage in the cell, right? How should my brother go over the cage and kill her?"
Nangong Shu was not a smart person at all, so how could she answer? She just insisted that Nangong Xu killed Zheng.
Nangong Huai stared at Nangong Xu who was kneeling in the hall and asked, "Is Zheng's death really nothing to do with you?"
Nangong Huai was a famous founding general who came out of troubled times. When he was really staring at someone, the momentum he had tempered from the bloody storm was extraordinary. Nangong Mo had felt such pressure before, but Nangong Mo's identity was strange. Even if such pressure was given light pressure, it was nothing, at least it was far from comparable to that of the palace. But Nangong Xu was different. Nangong Xu was a young man who had never experienced war or even court struggles. Such pressure could be imagined.
Under the heavy pressure of Nangong Huai, Nangong Xu looked calm but his face was a little pale. He said in a deep voice with his teeth: "Back to my father, no!"
"Since that's the case, what did you say to Zheng?"
Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and said slowly: "The child just asked about the past...Mo'er and the child were injured. Zheng, Zheng did not admit it, but he only said that he was wronged. However, the evidence was conclusive. The child got angry and scolded her a few words... and threw the food box on the ground and left..."
"She didn't say anything else?" Nangong Huai asked.
Nangong Xu's back was soaked with sweat, but she couldn't tell her dark clothes. Nangong Mo sat close to her and saw the fine sweat on his forehead slipping down his neck into the collar. Nangong Xu gritted his teeth and said, "She said... her father would let her out..."
After a long silence in the hall, Nangong Huai finally slowly moved his eyes away and said, "Get up."
Nangong Xu breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell to the ground. However, he still forced himself to stand up, "Thank you, father."
"Thank you, father." Nangong Xu stood up, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn. Nangong Huai looked at Nangong Xu silently for a moment before saying, "Sit down and talk." In fact, Nangong Huai also knew very well in his heart. Zheng, who was nominally the wife of the Duke of Chu's mansion, was a bit unreasonable to fight against the eldest son so much. However, Zheng was different from ordinary concubines, so Nangong Huai couldn't help but be more cautious. Even at this moment, he made Nangong Xu get up, it did not mean that he completely believed what Nangong Xu said.
"Yes." Nangong Xu walked to Nangong Mo and sat down. Nangong Mo reached out to help him and whispered: "Brother, are you okay?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Nangong Xu's eyes, and he nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Nangong Mo withdrew his hand as usual and said, "It's fine."
Seeing their brother and sister like this, Nangong Huai snorted softly: "Your relationship is very good now."
Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Where does the deep hatred come from between brothers and sisters? Doesn't my father want us to have a good relationship?" Nangong Huai looked at her and said, "You are the wisest brothers and sisters." Nangong Mo smiled indifferently and did not reply. She could feel that Nangong Huai was in a bad mood. Of course, it is understandable that her concubine suddenly died and she was in a bad mood.
Nangong Shu had red eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, can you just let go of my mother's death?" Looking at Nangong Xu's eyes were filled with resentment. His mother had taken care of him for so many years, but he killed his mother. It turned out that she was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! Nangong Huai's face was slightly dark, and he looked at Nangong Shu and said, "You have heard the doctor's words just now."
"Even if my mother was not poisoned, it was his fault! If he didn't deliver those foods, how could she die?" Nangong Shu shouted, "It must be that he had already planned. Dad, you have to be fair for your mother."
Nangong Xu looked up at Nangong Shu and said in a deep voice: "Second sister, what's wrong with you in the past few years? Do you have to kill me so deliberately? Mrs. Zheng was deserving of being locked in a dungeon by her father. I want to know the truth at that time, and I am grateful for the fact that she has taken care of over the years and brought something she likes to eat? Can I guess that Zheng can be so hungry that she is overwhelmed by herself? It's a joke. I have never heard of such a curious way to kill people in Jinling City. If the person who eats himself doesn't want to eat, can others force her into it and keep her to death?"
"You..." Nangong Shu couldn't say anything to refute, but just stared at Nangong Xu hatefully.
"Okay, there is no need to discuss it again at this time!" Nangong Huai said impatiently. Looking at Nangong Mo who was not concerned about his own affairs, he said, "Since you are back, let me tell you everything, so that I will send someone to notify you when I get there." Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Oh? Is there anything else?"
Nangong Huai coughed slightly uneasy and said, "Zheng made a mistake, I locked her up. But the Duke of Chu's mansion cannot be without a housekeeper..." Nangong Huai said a few words, and Nangong Mo knew in his heart what he wanted to say, and was not in a hurry, just waited quietly for him to finish his words.
"So... I plan to renew my wife's room so I can take care of the central gifts in the mansion. What do you think?"
