Chapter 698 The heart of guarding against others, adding sorrow and joy(2/2)
Therefore, Mrs. Wang categorically regarded the word ‘Su’ as a point of doubt.
"this……"
Xue Baochai frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I heard that the old lady has been feeling unwell recently, and she really can't stand the trouble - otherwise, I'll give it a try first. If I can confirm that it's Sister Lin herself, then I'll tell you.
no……"
"This method, this method is good!"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained: "You must screen carefully and don't act too hastily and alert the snake!"
With her words, Xue Baochai felt confident.
If Lin Daiyu suddenly reveals her identity, she can also ask Mrs. Wang to testify that she is secretly investigating and does not intend to deceive - and if Lin Daiyu never reveals her identity, she can also maintain contact with her in the name of investigation.
When the two of them went to the main room, Wang Ziteng's wife was taking Aunt Xue to reminisce about the sorrow and sweetness. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Wang Xifeng and Wang Xining were also wiping away their tears.
Baoyu stood there blankly, not knowing where he was wandering.
After Mrs. Wang entered the door, she immediately joined in seamlessly. The three of them talked about many old things until their tears were shed. However, there was still no news of Prince Teng's arrival in Beijing.
Wang Ziteng's wife gradually became uneasy, and she didn't talk so much anymore. She only occasionally urged people to go to the pier to look at the scene.
But after waiting and waiting, the escorting official ship never arrived.
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue began to become anxious.
"Then is Jia Yun reliable?"
Mrs. Wang said, subconsciously looking at Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "Brother Yun and I have only met each other a few times, but from the reviews, he seems to be a mature and prudent person - otherwise, he would not be promoted by Jiao Changqing."
"But didn't he say he would definitely arrive in the morning?"
Mrs. Wang stood up and looked out: "I'm afraid it's already past noon, right?"
Aunt Xue took out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and said, "It's already a quarter past noon. Could it be that we met on the road..."
Halfway through her words, Xue Baochai tugged at the corner of her clothes, and she hurriedly closed her mouth again.
At this time, Wang Ziteng's wife shed tears again and cried: "When the master went to the southeast to train as a navy, I was not happy. But he said that he would abandon the small family to take care of everyone, and insist on going for the sake of the court and the emperor. Who will succeed? I don’t want to end up like this in the end!”
While I was crying, I suddenly heard footsteps rushing outside.
Everyone just thought that the escorting official ship had finally arrived, so they all stood up and went out to welcome it.
What I didn't want to see was the steward of the Taiwei Mansion dressed in filial piety. I saw him staggering in front of the door with tears streaming down his face. He knelt down with a thud and burst into tears.
"You, you, you..."
When Wang Ziteng's wife saw this, she couldn't help but slide down. Wang Xifeng hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and at the same time shouted, "What's going on? You should tell me!"
Just listen to the butler crying with his head on the ground: "Just now, the imperial court sent someone to report that Master, Master, he hanged himself in Tongzhou yesterday!"
"What?!"
Everyone was in an uproar, Wang Ziteng's wife rolled her eyes and fainted, and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue almost fell to the ground.
Wang Xining burst into tears on the spot. Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was still calm and directed Jia Baoyu and the maid to help the three sisters into the hall, and then found a nearby doctor to diagnose and treat them.
The place was chaotic and busy, and Wang Ziteng's wife finally regained consciousness. She immediately cried and said that she was going to Tongzhou to see her husband for the last time.
Wang Xifeng persuaded her to stop, and the steward of Taiwei Mansion, who was sent to report the news, led some servants of Wang, Jia and Xue to rush to Tongzhou to meet Wang Ziteng's body.
After everything was finally arranged, Wang Xifeng persuaded everyone to eat more food to avoid any accidents due to lack of energy.
However, after the food was served, she lost her appetite and reluctantly gave Wang Ziteng's wife a few chopsticks. Then she felt nauseated again, so she got up and covered her mouth and ran outside to retching.
However, after vomiting, she suddenly turned from sadness to joy, grabbed Xue Baochai who was following him, and said in a trembling voice: "Quickly, help me bring the doctor back - no, let's just hire someone who is good at gynecological pulse diagnosis. Come on!"
