Chapter 601 Questioning about Du Zhongshu

Bai Ruozhu returned to the main hall and quietly said to Mrs. Meng: "Old Madam, that maid did drown and died, and there was no sign of poisoning. I don't know anything else."

The old lady nodded, "Perhaps someone took advantage of her and voluntarily died."

Bai Ruozhu didn't say anything, but she felt a little blocked in her heart. She didn't sympathize with the maid. The maid harmed Hongxiu regardless of black and white, and almost caused the loss of Hongxiu's fetus. It can be said that the maid deserved to die, but such a young life was... It was really sad for her to be gone like this.

Mrs. Wang was brought back to the main hall, and Bai Ruozhu stepped aside. She pulled Wu Ying and asked quietly, "Wu Ying, do you know the situation of Mrs. Wang?"

Wu Ying held her chin and thought for a while, then said: "I know a little bit about it. Her husband is a classic from Beiyu City, and he is a good man. I heard that he has a lot of concubines. Mrs. Wang's family is in business, and it is said that her natal family is very good. Even though he has money, he still supports the Wang family."

The position of Danliang's Classics was only available in big cities. It was an official position specifically responsible for sorting out and compiling household registrations. It was not a high position, but it should not be underestimated.

"What's Mrs. Wang's maiden name? What kind of business does she do?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"The surname is Zhou, and he is in the cloth business. As far as I know, the Wang family has no grudges against Xie Dun." Wu Ying frowned as she spoke, "Why did she want to harm Mrs. Xie?"

Bai Ruozhu couldn't figure it out, but if it was all just an accident, she wouldn't believe it, especially since Mrs. Wang had acted in a play. She only heard that someone committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and she cried for Ru Yue without even looking at the body.

It can only mean that she knew in advance that Ruyue would commit suicide.

Bai Ruozhu rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, leave the investigation to the government. It's useless for us to speculate like this."

Wu Ying nodded, "Then you go take care of Mrs. Xie. I'll go say goodbye to the old lady. It's not good to keep disturbing you here."

Bai Ruozhu thought to herself that this girl is very understanding of the ways of the world, but she is very thick-skinned when pestering her second brother. It seems that her second brother has really met his opponent this time.

At this time, Mr. Xie also arrived. He was a little excited and wanted to see Yu Hongxiu. When Bai Ruozhu saw it, he hurriedly reminded him: "Sir, Sister Hongxiu is fine, but her mood should not fluctuate too much. She has just fallen asleep again. You'd better not wake her up, why not go see the old lady first."

Mr. Xie gratefully said to Bai Ruozhu: "Thank you, Ruozhu. If you weren't here today, the consequences would be disastrous."

"I'm going to boil the medicine. Sister Hongxiu wakes up later. You go and stay with her. Say something happy and don't make her feel burdened. What happened with your aunt has already made her feel bad and hurt her health. Otherwise, this time It won't be that thrilling." Bai Ruozhu said with a straight face.

Mr. Xie looked ashamed, "What you said is that I will take good care of her."

Then Bai Ruozhu went to fry the medicine, and Xie Dun went to see the old lady. After Bai Ruozhu cooked the medicine and arranged for the maid to watch the fire, when he returned to the main hall, Wang Miaoshuang had left, but the second lady had not left yet.

Bai Ruozhu saw that the Second Madam looked bad, and remembered that the Second Madam was originally ill, so she hurriedly walked over and said, "Let me check the Second Madam's pulse."

The second lady smiled and thanked her, and said, "It's just the cold and a bit of a headache. I've already taken some medicine and it will be fine in two days."

Bai Ruozhu felt her pulse, and it was indeed what she said, but the wind had just come out and she was afraid her head would hurt even more.

"Second Madam, let me give you a massage. Your headache will be relieved." Bai Ruozhu was grateful to the Second Madam for her help today and wanted to help him relieve some pain.

The second lady was not polite to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu started massaging the acupuncture points on her head. Soon the second lady felt that her head was no longer so painful and she felt much more comfortable.

Afterwards, after Yu Hongxiu's medicinal soup was boiled, Bai Ruozhu went to wake her up, watched her finish drinking the medicinal soup, and then left the space for the couple, taking Guizhi to bid farewell to the old lady.

The old lady was really not in a good mood today and looked very tired. She sighed and whispered: "Ruozhu, do you think it was wrong for me to let it go? This house is full of chaos."

Bai Ruozhu was stunned. She didn't expect that the old lady would ask her about this. This was a family matter of the Meng family, and she really couldn't say anything.

But when she saw the tired and helpless look in the old lady's eyes, she really couldn't bear it and said, "If the old lady wants to be leisurely and contented, she can't worry about everything, otherwise how can she be leisurely? As for..." she paused as she spoke, " Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are right. Even if I take care of it for a while, I can't take care of it for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter." The old lady seemed to have figured it out, and her mood was not as low as before.

In fact, this incident should have nothing to do with Wang Miaoshuang or the Meng Mansion. It’s just that the Meng Mansion did not show the ability of a public family at the time of the incident. Both the servants and the mistress did not perform well. It is no wonder that the old lady has So sad.

Bai Ruozhu didn't stay any longer, and took Guizhi to say goodbye to the old lady, saying that she would come back to visit Yu Hongxiu early the next morning.

When the two of them arrived at the outer courtyard of the Meng Mansion, they saw Bai Zepei standing beside the carriage, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He was slender and looked a little thin. He just stood in the cold wind and let the cold wind turn his nose red.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help feeling sad and walked over quickly. She knew that her second brother was waiting here because he was worried about her.

"Second brother, why don't you wait in the carriage?" Bai Ruozhu asked complainingly.

Bai Zepei smiled and said calmly: "It's okay, let's talk about it when we go home."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and was about to get on the carriage when a figure came out of the yard and shouted to Bai Ruozhu: "Miss Bai, wait a minute."

Bai Ruozhu turned around and looked, it was Eucommia ulmoides, and he came out at just the right time. He must have been hiding there waiting for a long time.

She looked at Du Zhongshu with a cold face and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Du is doing?"

"I already know what happened at the inner court table just now." Du Zhongshu approached and said with a sullen face.

"Haha, it turns out that Mr. Du didn't know about this drama." Bai Ruozhu said sarcastically.

Du Zhongshu frowned. He suddenly raised his head, which was slightly lowered. He stared at Bai Ruozhu and said, "I admit that I knew what my family was thinking and didn't stop it, just because I have an obsession with you, but I didn’t know they would do this, I’m not as bad as you think!”

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "I have clearly rejected you, and you still acquiesce to your family's actions. Isn't this not so unbearable?"

Eucommia suffocates, and then a sad smile appears on his face. She is ruthless, but he has obsession, so is he becoming more and more unbearable?

However, he looked at Bai Ruozhu with a deep look, "Okay, I admit that I am not a gentleman, but is it really okay for you to tear off the Poria like this?"
