Chapter 160: Mr. Zhang's Sad Love
Mr. Zhang sighed sadly and looked at Yinlong and others deeply. The sadness in his eyes made people feel a little distressed. Mr. Zhang sat down and looked at Yinlong and others and said, "The story of Mei Niang and I will start from 20 years ago."
At this time, two elegantly dressed little maids came forward and offered them tea. Feng Mei and others nodded politely to the two little maids. After the two little girls retreated, Mr. Zhang looked at Yinlong and others and continued, "Our Zhang's house and Mei Niang's house are world friends. Mei Niang and I naturally came out. After birth, we were married. We were childhood sweethearts and loved each other deeply. Mei Niang is a big lady who stays at home. She is skillful and has a beautiful heart. It can be said that anyone who has seen Mei Niang will be involuntarily attracted by the noble and gentle temperament emitted by Mei Niang. Therefore, although I have a marriage contract with Mei Niang, I can't miss the most seeker, but Mei Niang is the only one in my heart, which I It can be felt.
Fengmei nodded and said, "Since you love each other so much, why don't you get married earlier? I heard from the city owner that you and the charming mother didn't get married until the 25th year.
At this point, Mr. Zhang's eyebrows gradually tightened. He stood up and said leisurely, "Girl, you don't know, at my 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, my father mentioned our marriage to my father-in-law, Master Du. At that time, my father-in-law also agreed, so Mei Niang and I chose the date of the wedding on that day. But who knows...who knows..."
When Feng Yun saw that Mr. Zhang looked a little excited, he quickly comforted him and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Take your time, but what happened to your marriage?"
Mr. Zhang looked at the charm and said, "On the day I married Mei Niang, my father-in-law, Master Du, suddenly died suddenly, and our wedding could not continue."
"What?" Mr. Zhang's words surprised Yinlong and others very much. Why did Mr. Du except for this matter at this time? Isn't that strange?
Silver Dragon pondered for a moment and asked, "Your father-in-law, Master Du, have any diseases that have not been cured for a long time? Did he die suddenly just now?"
Mr. Zhang also shook his head in confusion and said, "My father-in-law has always been very healthy and has never heard of any illness."
Feng Mei frowned at Mr. Zhang and couldn't help saying, "That's a little interesting. In my opinion, maybe your father-in-law was plotted, not killed violently."
Feng Yun also nodded with Feng Mei and said, "I agree with what Sister Feng said. I think it's really strange that Master Du died."
Lan Yu asked, "So your wedding hasn't continued, and how long has it been since you held the marriage ceremony?"
Mr. Zhang said, "After that, I went to the capital to get a reputation. It took six years before we met again. As soon as I got home, I married Mei Niang. However, on the night of our bridal chamber, Mei Niang... Mei Niang left me. During that time, I was like a corpse. I couldn't find the courage to live, and I wanted to commit suicide several times, but for the face of my elderly parents, I was born secretly.
Fengmei said angrily, "Who is so insidious and vicious? How could you choose to make such a one on other people's wedding night? Mr. Zhang, have you ever found out what was wrong with Mei Niang that day?
Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "No, Mei Niang was very beautiful that day. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She smiled like a flower, looked very excited, and didn't see anything wrong."
Yinlong also frowned. This matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Yinlong continued, "What was the reaction when your charming girl left at that time?"
Mr. Zhang lowered his head, as if he was meditating, and seemed to be recalling something. After a long time, Mr. Zhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Mei in surprise and others and said, "I remembered. At the moment when Mei Niang left, I spit out dark blood on my mouth. I found Langzhong to test Mei Niang because of He Poison. Dead? However, Lang Zhong told me that Mei Niang died because she ate Xiang Ke's food, but I thought about it. On the day of marriage, Mei Niang did not eat anything bad. This matter has been bothering me for many years.
Feng Yun said, "Didn't you find more Langzhong to have a look? Maybe there will be different views.
Mr. Zhang said, "I also have this idea, but my mother-in-law cried and cried that people can't come back to life after death, crying to let Mei Niang go to the earth early. I can only handle the funeral for Mei Niang."
Lan Yu said, "Don't your mother-in-law want to know the cause of her daughter's death? Why did you do Mei Niang's funeral so hasty?
Mr. Zhang sighed sadly again and said, "I think back on that time, my mother-in-law lost her beloved daughter. She was once sad and couldn't afford to be sick for many days. In order not to make her sad again, I had to do the matter of Mei Niang early."
Jin Ling, who was silent for a long time, asked, "It is said that your mother-in-law also has a daughter named Meijuan."
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, Mei Niang was supposed to be my sister-in-law, but now she has become my wife by mistake."
"What?" Fengmei was so surprised that she almost spit out the tea she had just drunk: "You mean you married your sister-in-law? What's going on?"
Yinlong calmly held Feng Mei's hand and said, "Don't interrupt Mr. Zhang first. There must be a reason for this. We just need to listen to Mr. Zhang quietly."
Fengmei looked at Mr. Zhang in pain and found that it seemed a little inappropriate. She could only lower her head awkwardly and take up the teacup in front of her and drink it.
Mr. Zhang continued: "As the prince said, I had no choice but to marry Mei Juan. At that time, I lost Mei Niang, and my heart was like dead water and I didn't want to marry again. However, my parents only have one son. They also let me marry a wife and have children for the Zhang family. I had no choice but to marry Mei Niang's sister. Sister Meijuan, just because Meijuan and Mei Niang look a little similar, when she saw her, she agreed to this marriage as if she saw Mei Niang.
Feng Yun nodded and said, "So that's it. No wonder, then why haven't we seen that Meijuan?"
Mr. Zhang said, "Meijuan happened to go back to Du's house today. It is estimated that she won't be able to come back until sunset."
Fengmei put down the teacup in her hand and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell us what kind of person this Meijuan is?"
Mr. Zhang said, "Meijuan is Mei Niang's sister, the child born to her mother-in-law before she married into Dufu."
Fengmei frowned and nodded and couldn't help saying, "So it's a stepmother? What is the usual relationship between your mother-in-law and Mei Niang?
Mr. Zhang said, "Mei Niang's mother died of childbirth when she gave birth to Mei Niang. She was taken care of by her mother-in-law and had a good relationship."
Fengmei said strangely, "I don't understand. Who on earth would harm Mei Niang so much? According to you, Mei Niang is a lady who stays at home. According to reason, there should be no enemies.
Feng Yun also said, "Sister Feng is right, but without an enemy, how can she make a disaster?"
As she was talking, she heard a sharp female voice: "Yo, so many guests have come?"
Yinlong and others looked through their heads in surprise, and only then saw a woman dressed in a very enchanting walk on a lotus step, and Yingying walked towards them with a twisted step. This woman looked a little like a brothel woman.
When the woman came to Yinlong and others, Mr. Zhang introduced to Yinlong and others, "This is Meijuan, my wife. These are the friends of the city owner."
"Meijuan has met the city owner and several distinguished guests." Meijuan had a gentle smile on her face, but she always felt that something was wrong with Meijuan. She always felt that there was something complicated hidden in her smile.
Jin Ling smiled and said, "Young lady, don't be so polite. Just get up quickly."
Meijuan stood up and looked at Mr. Zhang with a pair of fascinating big eyes and said, "Husband, I don't know what's wrong with some distinguished guests coming to the house?"
Mr. Zhang said, "They are here to help me investigate the cause of Mei Niang's death."
"What?" As soon as she heard Mei Niang, it was obvious that Mei Niang was a little surprised and unbelievable, and she looked a little flustered. Feng Mei had been paying attention to Meijuan's reaction.
Jin Ling said, "Young lady, don't worry. We just came here to find Mr. Zhang to understand the case. If there is any offense, please don't blame the young lady."
Meijuan quickly picked up her face full of surprise and smiled and said, "The city owner is too careful. Since he came for my dead sister, how can you offend her? Since some of you are in the cold house, how about Meijuan prepare lunch for a few of you?
As soon as Jin Ling heard this, he hurriedly declined and said, "Young lady, don't be so polite. Sometimes when we come, we should leave. If you have any other questions, we will talk about it another day."
Mei Juan said politely, "How many of you are leaving so soon, and you won't stay for a while?"
Mr. Zhang said, "Since several distinguished guests insist on leaving, it's not easy for us to retain more. However, we will get rid of a few of my charming guests."
Feng Mei deliberately shouted, "Mr. Zhang, please don't worry. We will definitely help you catch the real murderer and give justice to your Mei Niang."
Hearing Fengmei's firm promise, Mr. Zhang was grateful and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by Fengmei: "Mr. Zhang, don't be so polite. If you want to thank him, it's not too late for us to catch the real murderer."
Mr. Zhang said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhang will wait for the good news of several people. If he can really avenge the injustice for Mei Niang, Mr. Zhang will definitely give half of his family property to a few people as a reward."
Silver Dragon said, "Mr. Zhang is serious. We will help you catch the real murderer, not for reward. Well, it's time for us to go. Mr. Zhang, please stay."
Mei Juan, who stood aside, said, "Those people, please go."
Jin Ling and others nodded slightly and left Zhang's house under the eyes of Mr. Zhang.
