2151 These words are a little hurtful
Gu Xin waved her hand and started to send her off, ” “That’s all for today. I’ll repeat what I said just now. Third master Bai, if you remember anything, please let me know at any time. It’s impossible for me to go out of the courtyard and meet the other members of the Bai family. If there’s anything important, you can send someone to tell me. I’ll consider whether I should help you or not. Right now, the most important thing is His Highness’s death. I believe that you descendants have nothing else important to do.”
The third master Bai raised his chin and cupped his hands, ” “Farewell!”
After the third master left, the fourth master came.
Fourth master Bai was a man of few words. He hated Gu Xin, but because of her identity, they had no choice but to let the coroner do the autopsy for the Prince.
So, he basically answered every question Gu Xin asked.
There was nothing suspicious about him. Among the siblings, the one who had the biggest reaction to the death of the Prince was bai bao Zhu, followed by the fourth master.
Gu Xin could tell that fourth master Bai was just like Bai Baozhu. He was really sad and couldn’t accept the fact that His Highness had passed away.
Gu Xin also told fourth master Bai to go back and think about where the king of Dong Lin might have gone before he died. She would tell him when she thought of it.
After the fourth master left, he was left with the women of the Bai family, the wives of the four brothers.
The Bai family’s first Madam, also known as the crown prince’s wife, Zhang Shi, was only in her early forties, one or two years younger than Gu Xin’s aunt. However, she looked much older than her aunt.
She looked a little sick, probably because she had not recovered after the Prince’s death.
It was said that the two of them were childhood sweethearts and had a very deep relationship. When the Prince passed away, she was only in her early 30s. So many years had passed, but she had not been able to get over it.
After Zhang Shi greeted Gu Xin, she lowered her head and stood there.
Gu Xin invited her to sit down and asked her where she was from the 30th of last month to the first of this month.
Zhang Shi had been infected with the cold wind for the past two days, and there were maidservants taking care of her at all times. Her daughter, Bai Shiying, was also by her side all the time except when she was sleeping.
Gu Xin then asked her about the situation in the house.
Zhang Shi told him the truth. Since the Prince’s death, she had pushed away the power of the Wang Fu and handed it all over to the second mistress of the second branch. The princess had also suffered the blow of losing her son and had no energy to manage it.
Without a housekeeper, Zhang Shi had been in her room, missing her husband for years. Even their son’s wedding was hosted by the king of Donglin, so she didn’t know much about the affairs of the manor.
Seeing that she couldn’t get anything out of Zhang Shi, Gu Xin asked her to leave.
Next up was the madam of the second branch of the master of the Wang family, he Shi. He Shi managed the Wang family’s inner residence in an orderly manner and told Gu Xin everything, no matter big or small.
However, Gu Xin still asked about the second and third master Bai, ” if I may ask, if the second and third Bai CHILDES dress up like each other and imitate each other’s actions, will the second mistress be able to recognize who her husband is? ”
Madam he was stunned, and then said somewhat awkwardly, ” “Princess’s words are somewhat hurtful.”
Gu Xin apologized, ” I’m sorry. I’ve only heard that the second and third master Bai loved to imitate each other since they were young. They couldn’t even recognize the princess Consort. I just wanted to know if someone who slept beside them could recognize them. I’m curious about that. If second Madam feels offended, you can choose not to answer my question.”
He Shi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and still answered, ” I can. We’ve been married for twenty years. How can I not recognize you? “
