Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 306 The dead ship

   Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her with great interest, Lin Jinhui could only suppress the anger and pain in her heart and patiently said to her:

"Not long after my mother was pregnant with me, my father met Jiang Xiaoniang outside, but my grandfather thought that Jiang Xiaoniang was a prostitute. As the patriarch of the Lin clan, he did not allow such things that corrupted the family style to happen on his own door. Therefore, her father was not allowed to bring her back to the house, and for this reason, she was unanimously opposed by all uncles and uncles.

  At that time, my mother slipped a baby before me, worried that I would not be able to give birth safely, and heard that Jiang Xiaoniang was also pregnant. My mother wanted to save me some evil, so she persuaded my grandparents to take Jiang Xiaoniang back to the mansion. "

"I see."

  Chu Nanzhi couldn't help admiring Zhou's openness.

  Most of the big families in ancient times were like this. They could indulge their children in brothels, but they would never allow prostitutes to come into their homes.

   Mrs. Zhou was pregnant by herself, and Lin Tingzhen raised other women outside behind her back. She was also able to take the pregnant Mrs. Jiang into the house, which shows that she is not without tolerance.

   Whatever the reason, this is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  In my own era, such a dog and a woman would have been drowned by the spittle stars long ago.

  Thinking about it is also a sad place for women in this era.

  Thinking of Lin Jinxiao outside, Chu Nanzhi's belief became firmer, no matter what, he couldn't just let him fool her.

  She must find a way to get a marriage contract from Liu Yun. If she really wants to live with him, it must be based on equality.

  Lin Jinxiao's pretty face was already pretty, but now that he's a fifth-rank official at such a young age, there may be a bunch of confidante around him one day.

   "My old lady is not as tolerant as Mrs. Zhou."

   After a secret debate, she brought the topic back: "I remember Lin Sanniang said yesterday that her little mother is also from Anling Village, so how come Jiang Xiaoniang has become a prostitute again?"

   "Listen to her nonsense."

Lin Jinhui pursed her lips angrily: "She said that just to curry favor with you, sister-in-law. When my father met Jiang Xiaoniang, she was a busker and singer. It was her mother's family who went to their mother and daughter a few years ago to live in Anlin Village. Reluctantly set up a family business."

   "Since your father dotes on their mother and daughter so much, why didn't he think of bringing their family into the city?"

  Chu Nanzhi suddenly began to gossip with great interest.

   "My father had this idea."

Lin Jinhui narrowed her almond eyes, and said embarrassingly: "To be honest, my father planned to give the house and fields of my sister-in-law and brother Jinxiao to Jiang Xiaoniang's mother and brothers, but Jiang Xiaoniang didn't seem to be happy, so my father kept it secret. She bought property for her family in Anling Village."

"so."

  Chu Nanzhi looked around the room and smiled generously.

   In this way, she has to thank Jiang Xiaoniang.

  Thinking about the unfinished topic before, she continued to ask: "You just said that if it weren't for your mother, Lin Sanniang would have died a long time ago. What's going on?"

   "Cough, this is the kindness of a mother."

  Lin Jinhui's face was uncertain for a while, and then he said in a cold voice:

"At the beginning, my mother brought Jiang Xiaoniang into the mansion, but her grandparents and the elders of the Lin family were very unhappy. Jiang Xiaoniang was worried that the child would be treated poorly after birth, and she was about to give birth, so she secretly asked the maid in the courtyard to buy abortion medicine. Fortunately, the mother found out about removing the fetus and promised that she would send the baby to her own name after it was born, so that Jiang Xiaoniang gave birth to the baby with peace of mind."

   "You can't blame your mother for this."

  Chu Nanzhi shook her head secretly: "If your mother knew that Jiang Xiaoniang wanted to abort the fetus but didn't stop her, I'm afraid your father would blame your mother for the rest of her life."

   This is also a common problem among men in ancient backyards vying for favor, and they used to shift the responsibility to the unpopular original wife.

   After all, I can only blame Jiang Xiaoniang for being too clever, and suppressing Zhou to death.

   In this way, at least in the house, Mrs. Zhou dare not treat their mother and daughter badly.

  Just after hearing this, and thinking about that lady Han from the Shen family, Chu Nanzhi really felt that the Zhou family had the possibility of murdering Lin Sanniang.

  If this is the case, she would not be wronged if she voluntarily pleaded guilty today, so as not to implicate her daughter.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and stared at Lin Jinhui quietly, and said earnestly: "Jinhui, you can stay with me for a few days first, and you can go back after your father's anger subsides. If you need anything, let Minger Bring it here for you."

   After all, an underage girl was murdered in the courtyard next door to her, and she still had a great hatred for her. She was afraid that she could understand it.

But after hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, Lin Jinhui immediately understood what she meant, and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, do you ignore my mother? It's really impossible that she killed Lin Sanniang. She must have wanted to save I just voluntarily confessed."

   "But the murder weapon was indeed found in your mother's yard."

  Chu Nanzhi inspected Zhou's yard today, and no one could easily enter unless she hadn't fastened the gate at night.

  Yo, I forgot to ask about this.

  She looked at Ming'er suspiciously, and asked quickly: "Does your mistress always lock the doors in the courtyard at night?"

   "Of course they are all tied up, unless the Lord specifically orders to keep the door open."

  Ming'er thought for a while, and replied firmly: "I heard from Sister Ying'er, the maidservant, that she opened the gate of the courtyard herself today."

   "In this way, it is even more impossible for someone to wrong her."

Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinhui, and analyzed carefully: "Most of your houses are single-family courtyards, surrounded by ponds everywhere, as long as the courtyard door is closed, no one can easily enter, and it will not be easy for people to jump over the eaves or walk over the walls. It was the midnight dive that put the murder weapon in the pool in your mother's yard."

  Lin Jinhui was about to defend his mother again, when Sang Qi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master, the meal is ready."

   "Let's eat something first."

  Chu Nanzhi pulled Lin Jinhui up and walked towards the hall.

  Lin Jinhui shook his head listlessly with a frustrated face: "How can I eat?"

   "No matter what, you have to keep tight, otherwise you will be ashamed of what your mother has done for you."

  Chu Nanzhi relieved her and opened the door, and in the living room, the whole family was already sitting around the dining table.

  Looking at the distraught Lin Jinhui, Liu Yun immediately came over to help her sit next to the little treasures, and comforted her distressedly:

   "Er Niang, you have to listen to your sister-in-law and take good care of your health. Regardless of whether your mother murdered Lin Sanniang or not, she is the best mother in the world to my aunt. You can't let her down."

  The quadruplets looked at their emaciated aunt, and thought of the lively and lovely woman yesterday, and felt distressed. They comforted their grandma together:

   "Auntie, if the grandma of the family is wronged, you have to fill your stomach before you have the strength to avenge her."

   "Yes, aunt, even if there is no grandma in the future, you still have ours."

  Lin Jinhui was moved and sad when she heard this, she didn't dare to cry in front of Lin Jinxiao, and obediently picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of her.
