Lu Zheng did not tell Gu Xin what he thought, because he was not sure whether the cause of death of the Wang family in this life would be the same as in the previous life, and he did not want to mislead Gu Xin.

Gu Xin asked He Gang to go to the village at the foot of the mountain with someone who knew the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and bring the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back for questioning.

An hour later, He Gang and the others appeared with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

As soon as Gu Xin walked in, he looked at the two of them.

This mother-in-law is a very ordinary Dazhou village woman. She is very thin, with half-white hair, but she is neatly combed. Although her clothes are not patched, they are washed and worn. She holds an uneasy hand in her hands. Knowing where to put it makes people look more nervous.

But my wife is a little different.

This daughter-in-law looks a little fair. Although she is very thin, she is indeed fairer. She does not look very old, she looks like she is in her early twenties, her expression is a little dull, and her eyes are a little dull. Her hands obviously didn't look like those of someone who had been working all year round, although they were not as delicate as those of other ladies.

"Ms. Zhang Liu, a commoner's wife, has met Princess Xinxin." Mother-in-law Mrs. Liu knelt down, then pulled her daughter-in-law, and said, "Your Highness, this is the commoner's daughter-in-law, Silly Ya, she, she My brain has always been bad and I don’t know how to speak. Princess, please don’t mind.”

The wife knelt down in confusion and looked at Gu Xin curiously, her eyes moving.

Gu Xin said: "Ms. Zhang Liu, how old is your daughter-in-law Shaya this year?"

Ms. Liu was stunned.

Silly Ya showed a silly smile: "Si Ya sixteen."

Mrs. Zhang Liu quickly pulled Sha Ya and said apologetically: "No, no. Princess, don't blame me. Sha Ya is not sixteen. She was sixteen when the peasant woman picked her up. Now ten years have passed and she is twenty." Six."

Silly Ya muttered with her mouth flat: "Si Ya is sixteen, Sil Ya is sixteen."

Mrs. Zhang Liu panicked and covered Silya's mouth.

Silly Ya whined a few times and looked at Ms. Zhang Liu with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang Liu panicked and said, "Be good, stop making trouble. When you get back, Mom will give you sweets, be good."

Silly Ya immediately wiped away her tears, and then showed a stupid smile: "Be good, Silly Ya, stop making trouble and eat some sweets. Hello, Mom."

Mrs. Zhang Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Xin with some fear.

Gu Xin asked: "Did you pick it up, silly girl?"

Mrs. Zhang Liu said with fear on her face: "Yes, yes. Your Highness Princess, at that time, the civilian women were washing clothes by the river, and the silly girl floated down from the river, and just happened to float in front of the civilian women. The civilian women As soon as she felt she was still alive, she carried her back and spent some money to buy her medicine. However, when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything. She didn't know her name or how old she was. She didn’t know. The doctor said she was around sixteen years old, and then she remembered that she was sixteen. Every time people asked her her age in these years, she always said she was sixteen.”

Gu Xin frowned and said: "You didn't hand the person over to the Yamen? Since she floated down the river, you didn't even ask anyone if they had seen her before? You didn't keep the clothes she was wearing at that time, and then went to help her find it. For a moment?”

Zhang Liu said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, the commoner woman is a widow, raising a son who has been in poor health since childhood. The commoner woman has never traveled far and has never seen the world, so she can only ask Li Zheng for help. Li Zheng helped I went to the Yamen to report the situation, but no one came to acknowledge it. It’s not easy for a civilian woman to raise her son and she doesn’t want to raise another person.”
