Chapter 2157 The Zheng Corporation

2157 The Zheng Corporation
General Ying’s soldiers had already received orders to listen to Princess Xinxin. So when such a big thing happened here, they also guaranteed that no one in the other courtyards of the Bai family would know.....
As for the people from the government office of the state of tai, they did not dare to say anything.
As such, other than the people in Bai Shijie’s courtyard, no one knew that Bai Shijie was dead. When they saw the commotion outside the courtyard, they guessed that something must have happened. The second and third Madam Bai even thought that Gu Xin had found the murderer.
While she went to find the others, Gu Xin went to the outer room of the study room and got someone to bring the Bai family’s first Madam, Bai Zhengshi, who had calmed down a little.
Bai Zhengshi was Zheng Qiu’s half-sister, the daughter of his stepmother. Her name was Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei was older than Zheng Qiu by a year. She was already twenty years old. However, it was a huge blow for a woman to lose her husband at twenty years old.
Her eyes were swollen from all the crying. She had thought that Zheng Qiu looked familiar when she saw him in the morning, but now she had no time to think about where she had seen this coroner before.
“this humble woman greets princess xinxin!” Zheng Wei came in and greeted Gu Xin.
“Please have a seat, grandma Bai!” Gu Xin nodded her head and pointed to the chair beside her.
“Thank you, Princess!” Zheng Wei walked to the side and sat down.
“Grandma Bai, I asked you to come because I have some things I need to understand from you.” Gu Xin said.
“Princess, please speak. This commoner will definitely tell you everything I know.” As Zheng Wei spoke, she could not control her tears again.
“Please tell me, great grandmother Bai, what has happened since you returned to your own courtyards.” Gu Xin said.
Zheng Wei took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, her hands trembling.
Gu Xin didn’t rush her and just waited quietly.
“After returning to the courtyard, I don’t know why but brother Yi kept crying and making a fuss. The woman had been coaxing brother Yi in his room. After coaxing brother Yi to sleep with great difficulty, this commoner was also a little tired, so I slept in brother Yi’s room.”
“Because of grandfather’s matter these past few days, husband has not been able to rest well. Before going to bed, this commoner had instructed granny cen to not disturb husband if there was nothing. This commoner slept until the sun set. If it wasn’t for big brother Yi crying when he woke up, this commoner would probably still be sleeping.”
I asked someone to cook some food for brother Yi in the small kitchen. After feeding him, I took him to the courtyard to digest. During this time, I also asked if husband had woken up. Ah Yan said that husband had been in the study and there was no movement. I asked ah Yan not to disturb him.
“When the people from the main kitchen brought dinner, I handed brother Yi ‘er over to granny cen and went to the study to find my husband. After that, I saw Yingluo in the study room.”
Zheng Wei couldn’t continue, and when she thought of Bai Shijie’s death, she couldn’t help crying.
Other than the two of them, there were four other maids in the courtyard.
When Zheng Wei stopped crying, Gu Xin called the four maids over.
These four maidservants always worked in pairs in the afternoon, and they didn’t notice any suspicious people coming in or out, so they didn’t feel anything wrong.
Because there was a child, brother Yi, in this courtyard, everyone had been very regular in their work for the past one or two years. When the little master was not awake, they would be more careful when they did things. They would take turns around brother Yi’s room, waiting for arrangements at any time.
