This was especially so when Cheng Guanyue was still so helpful to her. As a result, she quickly took out the Jujube Mud Cake she made herself from the house.
Looking at those exquisite Jujube Mud Cake she was carrying, Cheng Guanyue knew that even though she was having a hard time, she was enjoying life and was still living an optimistic life.
He would not give up just because of fate.
"This Jujube Mud Cake is so delicious." She took a piece and put it in her mouth. She tasted it a few times and gave a thumbs up, praising her nonstop.
Hearing that, deaf-mute maidservant squinted her eyes happily.
To her, nothing was good enough to entertain her.
But as long as she ate happily, she would be satisfied.
"I came to find you today to confirm something." After helping her wash her clothes and dry them in the sun, she brought her into the house and sat down, slowly gesturing to her.
deaf-mute maidservant seemed to have guessed something.
But she did not nod or shake her head.
Apparently, he was hesitating.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Guanyue knew clearly in her heart, what exactly did she want to ask and she also clearly understood how Wen Suxin died in such a difficult situation back then.
Therefore, Cheng Guan Yue followed up: "You should know that Second Grandmother from Hou Mansion, Qi Yan Mo, then you must have also witnessed how Cheng San Ye's wife, Wen Suxin, was killed back then, right?"
deaf-mute maidservant hesitated for a long time after understanding Cheng Guanyue's sign language before finally nodding her head.
"Do you have any evidence left?" After all, she was the only one who knew who was still alive.
Moreover, this deaf-mute maidservant was not a bad person, Eldest Princess probably plotted against him secretly in order to not let her tell him the truth.
She had to become a disabled person, so she could not reveal anything.
The deaf-mute maidservant thought for a moment, then stood up and took out a bag of herb dregs from the cabinet that she had locked.
Cheng Guanyue was surprised to see it. "Isn't there something in it that makes you weak and sickly?"
After all, Second Grandmother would not harm even her own grandson just to get the authority of the butler.
They would give Wen Suxin some medicine that would make things difficult for her.
The deaf-mute maidservant nodded his head without any pause. The medicinal dregs had indeed been added with some bad stuff.
However, she did not discover this, but that maid had asked her to keep it after Third Wife Wen Suxin died.
It was a pity that the maid was unlucky enough to be killed, so the medicinal dregs were kept hidden in her hands.
She wasn't particularly clear about what had happened back then, but the only thing that she could be sure of was Wen Suxin.
"Then can you come with me to the house of the Marquis to find Second Grandmother? Don't worry, I won't let her hurt you. I just want you to give justice to the Third Madam who died. " Cheng Guanyue could not let this matter stay silent.
One had to know that that was a human life, they could not be so careless, furthermore, Third Uncle Cheng Xiuhuan treated them rather well, but he was not too close to Cheng Wenqing and Cheng Yang Hao.
He was an honest man who understood and was very principled. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taught Cheng Mingying and Cheng Mingkun so well.
deaf-mute maidservant's eyes flashed a little, and in the end, she still agreed to Cheng Guanyue's request.
After all, she was right. This was a human's life, so she couldn't be careless.
He had to return the dead third wife's justice.
When Cheng Guanyue brought deaf-mute maidservant back to the Hou Mansion, everyone was very surprised.
Other than the slightly flustered and fearful Second Grandmother and the Shen Lanxin who was holding onto his handkerchief non-stop, the others did not understand why Cheng Guanyue would bring back a deaf mute who could neither speak nor understand a word.
In the end, when everyone was more or less done with their arrival, Cheng Guanyue turned to Third Uncle Cheng Xiuhuan and asked, "Third Uncle, I want to ask you something. Did you suspect anything when Third Aunt died all those years ago?"
Cheng Xiuhuan heard his and immediately sighed with a complicated look on his face. After a while, he stood up and said: "I had my suspicions back then, but I did not find any evidence. All of the midwives who had given birth to Su Xin also suddenly died, and even if I looked for them, there was no trace of them. But I understand that this is definitely not that simple. "
"Yes, that's right. Third Uncle, Third Aunt's death was not that simple. Then let me ask you, before Third Aunt was pregnant with Fifth Brother, was she in good health?" After Cheng Guanyue said it again and again, Second Wife Qi Yimo became very nervous and uneasy.
Could it be that what happened that year was about to be exposed?
"Su Xin's health is naturally very good. I don't know why, but within a few months of having Wulang, her health is getting worse and worse. I even asked the famous doctor in the capital, Doctor Xun, to treat her a few times. Who would've thought that this Doctor Xun would suddenly disappear and not be able to find any trace of her. " When Cheng Xiuhuan said that, his eyes were still filled with pain.
To him, there was nothing more important than Su Xin's health. It was a pity that Su Xin died early, he could only bitterly raise Cheng Mingying and Cheng Mingkun up, in order to live up to the kind of instruction that Su Xin gave him when he left.
"With so many people missing and dying so mysteriously, I think everyone here knows that this is not simple at all. So today, let me tell everyone how Third Aunt died in childbirth. " Cheng Guanyue was about to seek justice for Wen Suxin, the third wife.
However, Cheng Mingxue suddenly spoke out: "There are people dying every day in this world, how are you able to determine that they have died strangely?"
"Of course, anyone with brains would be able to tell. Those without brains might not be able to tell." Cheng Xiuhua also quickly replied to Cheng Mingxue's choked voice.
She knew that after Cheng Mingxue recovered, she would come to find trouble.
It was well-deserved that she had been given a warm beating before this.
"In other words, even people with discerning eyes could tell that there was something fishy going on. Why would there be people who acted as if they were blind and turned a blind eye to it?" Cheng Mingyi was not in a good mood after being questioned by Cheng Mingxue.
Moreover, Cheng Guanyue was his boss and his master. As a lackey, he naturally could not stand for being bullied by others.
Thus, he hurriedly followed Cheng Xiuhua and opened his mouth.
"Second sister, don't make a sound. Can you let little twelve finish speaking?" Cheng Mingyuan couldn't even stand Cheng Mingxue's weird temper.
She clearly wanted to tell him the truth, but she interrupted him by questioning him.
"You … You all blame me, I just want to ask a question, is that not okay? " How could Cheng Mingxue have known that so many people would come to her aid just because of a single sentence? This made her so angry, but she didn't know how to refute them.
