After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant

handkerchief?

Upon hearing the question, Mrs. Wu's expression was obviously startled for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had already taken out the handkerchief in her arms.

Taking the handkerchief from the other party's hand, Ye Zhen looked at it repeatedly and confirmed that the style and details of the handkerchief were exactly the same as what she had seen before.

"Madam, you may have heard Boss Wu say that I only met him when he was working at a wine shop."

"I do know this, but what does this have to do with my handkerchief?"

Mrs. Wu's face was full of confusion. She originally thought that the other party was going to talk about her illness, but the topic changed a little too quickly.

Putting the handkerchief on the table, Ye Zhen came here today just to tell the other party the questions in her heart honestly.

"While setting up the stall, I once saw the son of your housekeeper coming to the wine shop. At that time, he had an identical handkerchief in his arms!"

"This is impossible!"

Her words immediately aroused Mrs. Wu's objection.

"This handkerchief is something personal to me. It has never been given to me as a gift, and the quantity has never been less. How could it be in the hands of others?!"

Mrs. Wu, who defended her appearance, turned cold and questioned what Ye Zhen said.

Such a reaction was expected by Ye Zhen. She knew that the meaning of her words was to accuse the other party of losing his integrity.

Even a woman as tough as Mrs. Wu cannot bear such a crime.

Ye Zhen was grateful to comfort the other party and said warmly:

"You don't have to be so excited. I'm asking you about this in private just because I have doubts about it."

Mrs. Wu, who was still a little angry at first, calmed down again after hearing this.

Indeed, what Ye Zhen said was reasonable. If the other party really wanted to slander her, there was no need to push them away before talking.

After calming down, Mrs. Wu was still a little puzzled and looked at Ye Zhen with a frown.

"But what I said is not a lie. I have countless personal handkerchiefs. If one or two are missing, I will definitely notice."

Such words made Ye Zhen even more convinced that there was a lot to be said for this matter.

She sat down next to Mrs. Wu, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"Except for your own use, has anyone else come into contact with this handkerchief?"

Mrs. Wu did not dare to neglect such a major matter as a breach of integrity, so she quickly recalled it.

It was not that she had never doubted whether the other party was lying to her, but when she thought about it, Ye Zhen had no grudge against her, and the other party had even saved her. And her husband-in-law spoke highly of her, so it was unlikely that she could do something like this.

The person who behaves.

"This handkerchief was sewn for me by the maid in my room. It has never been in the hands of others."

Even Boss Wu has never taken Mrs. Wu's personal handkerchief. These women's belongings are basically kept privately.

"The maid sewed it?"

Ye Zhen saw the important point at a glance.

"Yes, I am not afraid of your laughter. I have not been good at female prostitutes since I was a child. Handkerchiefs and clothes were all prepared by my two personal maids."

Mrs. Wu smiled sheepishly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Whether in a prosperous place like the capital or in a barbarian county where they live, the requirements for women are to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

As a modern person, Ye Zhen didn't value this. Not to mention her, even the original owner was uneducated.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not good at female celebrities either. But according to you, the only people who can come into contact with this handkerchief are you and the two maids?"

"yes."

After nodding slightly, Mrs. Wu realized that the other party suspected that she was in love with her two personal maids, and subconsciously explained to them.

"These two maids married into the Wu Mansion with me and have been with me for many years. They would not do such a thing!"

What she said was absolute, but it did not dispel Ye Zhen's doubts.

If what Mrs. Wu said was correct, then the problem must lie with these two maids, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the scene she witnessed with her own eyes.

Ye Zhen has also watched some costume dramas and understands that in ancient times, some wealthy families had their own children, that is, domestic slaves.

Most of these domestic slaves were born slaves because their parents were slaves of their masters, and they grew up with their masters' children.

"Madam, let me ask you, do these two maids always stay with you?"

"They usually help me with household affairs, but they don't follow me around all the time."

When it came to this point, Mrs. Wu did not hide anything, but from the bottom of her heart she did not feel that the problem was with her maid.

"Although the two of them did not grow up with me, they have been in the Wu Mansion for some years. It was Sister Wan who specially sent them here to accompany me."

After Mrs. Wu's introduction, Ye Zhen found out that Mrs. Wu was not a native of Manyi County, but a native of Qingcheng next door.

Her natal family is also a well-known and wealthy family in Qingcheng. In terms of family status, it is much better than her husband's family.

This is also the reason why, even though they are distant relatives, Song An is a little afraid of each other.

"Who is Wanmei?"

"She is the county magistrate's wife, my cousin."

Ye Zhen had heard of this relationship. The local county magistrate's wife was Song An's biological sister, and she and Mrs. Wu were cousins.

The maid was given by her. Could it be that there is something about Song Wan involved?

Ye Zhen guessed in her mind, but did not say it out loud. After all, one was a stranger she had just met, and the other was a close cousin by blood. It was obvious who the other party would choose to believe.

But this matter still needs to be investigated.

"Okay, Mrs. Wu, since there are no clues from the handkerchief, you might as well pay attention to the behavior of the son of the housekeeper of your Wu family."

Mrs. Wu did not object to this point raised by Ye Zhen and nodded in agreement.

Although the housekeeper of Wu Mansion had worked hard for many years, his son was still young, so Mrs. Wu's forgiving treatment of him was out of the old housekeeper's face.

Now if the other party brought her reputation for being unruly, Mrs. Wu would not have much mercy.

However, recalling the other party's extremely carefree character, Ye Zhen couldn't help but give him a warning.

"Madam, even if you want to keep an eye on me, you have to be careful, so as not to alert the enemy. In the final analysis, this matter is just my personal suspicion, and I still have to inquire secretly."

Her sincere and frank words secretly gained Mrs. Wu's favor.

If Ye Zhen hadn't taken the initiative to mention this matter, Mrs. Wu would still be kept in the dark. It would be terrible if someone really discovered it.

This kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of just in case!

After the secret conversation was over, Mrs. Wu called the servants in again, only saying it was Ye Zhen to check her body again.

The two maids did not react at all and continued to serve Mrs. Wu obediently.

Ye Zhen waited for Boss Wu to come back as promised and had lunch together before leaving Wu's house.

As soon as she left, Boss Wu had to finish his unfinished work.

Mrs. Wu had already been uneasy because of Ye Zhen's words, so she could not care about him, so she went back to the house early.

After returning to the house, she did not let the maid follow her, separated the two of them, and sat alone in the back room thinking.

In fact, Ye Zhen's words have very low credibility in the eyes of ordinary people. After all, everything is just her word.

However, because of the kindness of the other party for saving her, Mrs. Wu, who was quite straightforward, subconsciously felt that the other party would not harm her, and instead couldn't help but start to doubt the people around her.

When she married from Qingcheng, it could be said that she had no relatives except Song An's family.

At that time, Song Wan personally met with her in advance and gave her to her on the grounds that Mrs. Wu was not a prostitute and Ying'er and Yan'er were familiar with the local area.

Speaking of which, the relationship between sister Song Wan and Song An and Mrs. Wu cannot be said to be very good. After all, the latter has a high status in the family. When they were young, the two siblings were often bullied when they lived in their own home.

That time Song Wan took the initiative to show her kindness, Mrs. Wu was a little surprised, but her personality was straightforward, so she accepted it without thinking too much.

In addition, Ying'er and Yan'er had taken good care of her over the years, and Mrs. Wu really didn't believe that they would betray her.

But the two of them still had some doubts about this matter, so she had to find Boss Wu's personal servant and ask him to help her find out the whereabouts of the housekeeper's son.

He also strictly ordered the other party not to tell Boss Wu.

Ye Zhen, who left the Wu Mansion, did not spend too much thought on this matter. She was not from the Wu Mansion, so she did not understand the relationships inside and could not get involved.

She left Wu Mansion and walked straight to a drug store.

In addition to meeting Mrs. Wu when she went to the city today, she also had to buy some medicine for the patients at home. Otherwise, if she had to exchange her merit points for medicine every day, the few merit points she had just saved would be used up in no time.

It’s so good to use it on the edge of a knife!

Since Lin Bin's vital signs are currently stable, it is naturally more cost-effective to use ready-made medicine.

After entering the drug store, Ye Zhen asked the clerk to get some prescriptions for replenishing blood and qi, and treating trauma.

These are relatively common, but ancient medicinal materials were relatively expensive and cost a lot of money.

Ye Zhen doesn't feel bad about this. She just got the dividend from Wangyue Tower today and her pocket is rich.

After buying the medicine, she rented a carriage to take herself home.

As soon as she walked into the yard, Ye Zhen saw Xie Yunshu sitting aside, and Zhao Yi squatting next to him, with his fair and tender little face turning red.

It turns out that what was shown on TV is all true. The most basic way to practice martial arts is to squat on the horse stance first!

After secretly complaining, she hurried over.

Zhao Yi's eyes immediately followed Ye Zhen and when he looked at him, his arm suddenly hurt.

"You must concentrate when practicing! Don't be distracted!"

Xie Yunshu's somewhat cold voice sounded in his ears. Zhao Yi pursed his lips and had no choice but to hold back the tears that were so painful that they almost fell out.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen quickly grabbed Zhao Yi and rubbed his red arm with some distress.

"Okay, he's still young, so it doesn't have to be so hard!"

She pulled the person up like a child, took out a red candied haws from the paper bag in her arms, and handed it to the person.

After carefully looking at Xie Yunshu's face, he found that the other party just shook his head helplessly. Zhao Yi took the candied haws and sat at the door obediently to eat it.

It's no wonder that Ye Zhen is so doting on her children. Zhao Yi is very fair and cute, and he is usually very sensible and obedient. Any woman who sees him will be overflowing with maternal instincts, right?

"This is some medicine I bought for you and Lin Bin. You two are still weak. Remember to cook and drink it on time."

Raising the package of medicinal materials in her hand, she turned around and entered the house, putting the things in the large cabinet in the outer room.

The only cabinet in the house had been there for who knows how many years. It was already in a state of decay and could barely be used.

After building a new house, Ye Zhen will need to build a new set of furniture, so she will just hold on to it for now.

After she finished packing, she just stood up when a familiar voice sounded in her mind.

"Congratulations to the host, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You saved a dying person and persuaded him to re-establish hope! Reward: 5000 merit points!"

Damn it!
