The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 95.1

Chapter 95.1

Mrs. Xu put the cat that came in from outside the room on her lap, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked, Is there any news about the case of Country Marquiss wife?

Old Zhong said: This servant is just about to report to Old Madam. There is nothing special about this woman. She had been living in Luoyang. Last year, when the Country Marquis died, her aunt sent her back to her ancestral home in Yuyang. She lived in seclusion in Yuyang and did not usually interact with others. But

She hesitated and said, This servant has unintentionally found an acquaintance that has some relationship with her.

Mrs. Xu said, Which acquaintance?

Its the one from Zhongshan, Miss Su. When she lived in Luoyang, there was a time when they had close contact, often dining and traveling together. Later, due to this woman and someone involved in an illicit affair, Miss Su severed their relationship to avoid suspicions. All these happened several years ago.

Mrs. Xu slowly stroked the drowsy cat in her arms, pondered for a moment, and then asked, How did Old Jiang interact with that Country Marquiss wife? Are there any clues?

Old Zhong said: This servant is useless. That woman and Old Jiang died one after another after the incident without any confession. However, the servants at Country Marquis house said they had never seen Old Jiang entering or leaving their residence. It is confusing how they get involved.

Did you investigate Old Jiangs origins?

Old Jiang was originally Madams mothers housemaid. She was a young widow with a son. Madam once helped her, and she has served her for thirty years.

Where is Old Jiangs son now?

He died of a severe illness a few years ago when he was just a teenager.

She thought for a moment, stroked the cats head with her palm, and laughed: The New Year is over, and there is nothing to do at home. Its windy and dusty in this Yuyang. I miss the nice weather in Wuzhong City a bit.

When Wei Shao returned in the evening, he did not see Xiao Qiao nor Chun Niang in the room. He still didnt see her after he came out from the bath, so he asked Old Lin.

Old Lin said, Old Madam has called Lady to accompany her to have dinner.

With hesitation, Wei Shao went outside and just reached the door when he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard corridor. He raised his eyes and saw two maids holding lanterns. Xiao Qiao had returned. Wei Shao stepped over the threshold and headed for the study.

After returning from patrolling the border city these few nights, he came to the study room first and then went back to bed later, without any problems with Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao caught Wei Shaos silhouette and called out. Husband, Grandmother looking for you. She says she has something to say.

Wei Shao glanced at her and lifted his feet to go to the north house.

When Wei Shao arrived at the north house, he saw several large open wooden chests on the floor with clothes and other miscellaneous things for daily use inside. The servants were busy moving around with small and large boxes. Old Zhong stood by one of the large chests, instructing one of the servants, Its still cold there, so take that fox-fur cloak and pack it carefully

When she saw Wei Shao come in, she welcomed him and smiled: Master is here? Old Madam is inside.

Wei Shao said, What is this for?

Old Zhong said, Old Madam is preparing to go to Wuzhong City.Updated from
