Chapter 418 The Golden Branch Will Not Come Down 9
After Madam Du finished telling the story, she was depressed for a while.

Lan Shuying figured out what she wanted to express, which was both support and temptation.

Knowing the tragic experience of the woman in the story after marrying a businessman, Mrs. Du had a deep suspicion of men. This kind of suspicion was only for her husband, County Magistrate Du, and Zhou Kuang was obviously also the object of her suspicion. among.

This is a good sign for Lan Shuying.

Guo Yizhen's original fate and dream didn't get Madam Du's support, especially in the dream, she offended her badly because of a quick talk.

And Guo Yizhen's death is not limited to this.County magistrate Du is honest and upright, and she can't understand Zhou Kuang's behavior of bribing and buying officials. She criticized Zhou Kuang several times in public. Sued imperial court.

What to tell him?

Take bribes.

County magistrate Du has a clean sleeve, but he made a mistake once: when he was in a hurry to redeem Mrs. Du from Mingyue Tower, he took money from a businessman and sentenced the son of the businessman for manslaughter lightly.

When Guo Yizhen exposed the matter, County Magistrate Du's reputation plummeted, he was suspended from his post, depressed, and finally committed suicide in shame.

However, the matter was not over. Mrs. Du, who lost her love, had just finished the funeral when someone came to her door suddenly, saying that she was the lost eldest daughter of the King of the East China Sea.

The King of Donghai is a king with a different surname, a tyrant in the east, and the strongest among the princes and kings. The emperor has to worry about his reaction to any action. Empress Dowager Chen liked it, and in the end there was that witchcraft.

Maybe the Empress Dowager Chen and her son didn't want Guo Yizhen to die, but she ruined the happiness of Mrs. Du and her two children.

The key point is that Lan Shuying was on the outside, so she could see all of this clearly, but the person involved was so focused on being rich and prosperous that she didn't see clearly the murderous intentions that followed after the glory.

And who would have thought that this weak and beautiful county magistrate's wife would have such a fantastic life experience?

Lan Shuying refilled her with hot tea, and told Mrs. Du some things about Guo Yizhen at Zhou's house.

Mrs. Du originally suspected that Mrs. Guo was unkind, but now her guess was confirmed, and she felt more and more that the matter of the sterilization pills was caused by the mother and son of the Zhou family. The purpose of course was to further restrain Mrs. Guo.

"Sister Yizhen, don't be too sad. The most urgent thing is to protect yourself. Now that their dirty things have been exposed, be careful! To tell you the truth, my husband has already planned to open a trial for this case. If you are willing to come out Testify, we will help you find out the murderer who drugged you."

Madam Du was still observing her expression when she spoke.

This woman gave Lan Shuying a wonderful feeling. She lived like a fighter. In this frail body, there was a power beyond the background of the times.

"My sister is worried that I will soften my heart and protect them, right?" Lan Shuying tugged at the corner of her mouth, showing a bleak smile.

"Zhou Kuang knelt in front of my father and swore that he would treat me well for the rest of his life. After only three months of marriage, he brought Yiyi back from Mingyue Tower. Since then, the number of times he came to my room every month can be counted by a single slap." clear."

"How did my sister think I got this disease? Hehe, I was angry. I couldn't bear Yiyi to show off in front of me, bragging about how much Zhou Kuang loved her. I fell into the snow and they left hand in hand..."

"When I fell ill and couldn't move on the bed, his mother came to my room and rummaged through the boxes and looted a lot of belongings. I heard from the maid that she still wanted to find the key to my dowry vault."

"I also used to treat them as family members. I came from afar, full of joy, and wanted to join their family, but they reminded me time and time again-you are an outsider, and you are not even qualified to add to our family. "

"Why should I be nostalgic for such a family?"

She tilted her head to look at Mrs. Du, two lines of tears flowed down without warning, her full eyes reflected the wry smile at the corner of her mouth, this scene was shocking.

Madam Du felt sad, took out a champagne to wipe her, patted the back of her hand and said, "I've wronged you...Since you have intended to leave, I will definitely help you!"

Lan Shuying took the handkerchief embarrassingly, wiped it off by herself, and smiled through tears, "Then...thank you, sister."

Just below the tea table, a milky white kitten was lying on the ground, looking up at the two of them.

Because of being possessed by toffee, the kitten has a very humane exclamation on its face.

It watched the showman's performance the whole time, and associating with its previous memories, it suddenly realized a fact: the master's tears are both the most valuable and the least valuable.

It's not worth the money, because it's as simple as turning on the faucet without sincerity.

It is worth money because as long as she uses her tears, someone will soon be unlucky.

This unlucky guy was also in the Zhou Mansion at this time.

……

Zhou Kuang sent off the friend who reported the letter, put away the sincere gratitude on his face, and walked towards his mother's bedroom with a gloomy face.

He had just heard about the follow-up development on Shengping Street.

Damn it, how could that county magistrate Du just happened to pass by there?And took this matter over!
Just now his friend told him that the county magistrate Du called Master Zou and several doctors to the teahouse to inquire about the situation, and now he plans to go back to open the teahouse.

Maybe someone will come over soon and ask him, the master of Zhou Mansion, to question him.

Zhou Kuang made up his mind: he must find a scapegoat to take the matter of the sterilization pill.

He had discussed it with Mrs. Xiang before. Among all the servants, Yueping was the one who was most likely to be framed, because she had been working in the Guo family's yard for the past few days. She held a grudge against her, and waited for an opportunity to prescribe drugs for revenge.

Besides, someone in Yueping's family was sick and needed money, and Zhou Kuang had already made up his mind to use the money to gag her mouth, so that she would obediently admit it.

Anyway, he didn't drink the medicine, and if he admits it, it's just a few slaps at most.

Who would have thought that the Guo family had a side affair, snatched Yueping away, and messed up his plan directly!
Seeing him rushing in angrily, Zhou's mother hurriedly asked him what's wrong.

As soon as she heard that it was the sterilization drug, the old woman immediately showed fear and blamed her son: "You wicked son, why are you so careless! This is all right now, everyone outside should know that you gave her the drug." , I can put my old face there in the future, son of a bitch..."

Zhou Kuang didn't have the usual student demeanor, and gave his mother an irritable look: "Blame me? You asked someone to prescribe the medicine, and the medicine was mixed in your health-care soup to buy it! If County Magistrate Du finds out, first The first suspect is you!"

Being so frightened by him, Zhou's mother sat on the edge of the bed shaking endlessly, her head jingling, which made Zhou Kuang even more upset.

He reached out and pulled out the red and green things from her bun, and threw them on the quilt!The long sleeves brushed Zhou's mother's cheeks, and a gust of cool fan picked up the powder she applied on her face, giving off an artificial fragrance.

"You, what do you want to do?!" Mother Zhou asked tremblingly.

Zhou Kuang sighed heavily, squatted down in front of his mother, and said earnestly: "Mother, we both have a share in the matter of administering the medicine. Neither of us can run away. My son can only think of one way now, and it depends on whether Mother is willing or not."

"What... what do you mean by that, willing? What are you willing to do?"

Zhou Kuang's eyes were burning, and he first said that he could not harm Yueping, and then proposed to his mother: Sacrifice Xiang's sister-in-law, in exchange for the peace of the two of them!
"How does this work!"

Zhou's mother's first reaction was what would she do without Mrs. Li Xiang, but under her son's persuasion and threats, she finally nodded timidly: "Then let me talk to her..."

"As soon as possible! The people from County Magistrate Du will be here soon!"

"Okay, okay!"

Yueping, who was hiding under the window, heard the conversation between the mother and son clearly. She hurried back and told Lan Shuying.

Mrs. Du hasn't left yet. After hearing these words, she was even more impressed with the shamelessness of the mother and son, and said in relief: "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll go back and tell..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Guo Shi, who was on the opposite side, raised his palm.

Lan Shuying pondered and said: "It's hard to find evidence for their purchase of prescriptions. The purchases are usually handled by Mrs. Xiang. If it is said that she prescribes the medicine, it seems reasonable to outsiders. Moreover, almost all the people in Zhou's mansion are bewitched by them. , will definitely speak to them, and the evidence will be insufficient at that time, and the case will have to freeze there."

"Then you can't just let them get away with it. If they hurt you once, they can hurt you a second time! When will it be the first time to guard against it?"

"Then you can't guard against it." Lan Shuying raised her head, her eyes that had just been washed by tears were clear and energetic, and said calmly: "Let them push Sister-in-law Xiang out first, and I have already made up my mind about the rest. Just wait and see the good show."

Seeing that she spoke confidently, Madam Du hesitated a little, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

But she left in a hurry afterward, presumably planning to tell County Magistrate Du what she had seen and heard about the Zhou Mansion before the class opened.

"Madam Du is really a good person." Yueping murmured to herself.

Guo Yizhen in the sea of ​​knowledge was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe that this was the Mrs. Du she recognized!

How about noble and glamorous?

What about being silent?
Why did she suddenly become a chivalrous woman who spoke up for justice?She even went out of her way to find Zhou Mansion and asked for help. Now, this Mrs. Du must also be possessed by a ghost?

Guo Yizhen pestered for an explanation, Lan Shuying said lightly: "If you find out that you have been drugged, you can think more about it, ask questions, expose it, and act like you want to kill them, maybe she will take a look at you too .”

But in the original fate line, after Guo Yizhen found out, he could only cry, endure and submit, and was almost abandoned by Zhou Kuang until he was taken back to become the county lord.

If she hadn't been picked up, her fate might not have been better than that of Mrs. Du's adoptive mother.

The sea of ​​consciousness is quiet.

Yueping heard the conversation with her own ears and knew that she had escaped the disaster. She respected Lan Shuying more and more, and offered to go to the county government to inquire.

"No need, you'd better go back and grab the medicine first, and prepare a gift after you finish your homework. Master Zou likes to drink, so prepare two jars of wine and add some pork. I'll arrange it for you later."

Yue Ping didn't quite understand why Madam insisted on letting her learn martial arts, but this was one of the conditions for her to be promoted to personal servant girl, so Yue Ping obediently agreed.

……

County Magistrate Du's side opened immediately, and the guards who came to Zhou's mansion to pick up people also arrived.

Zhou Kuang changed into new clothes, and the folding fan painted with black bamboo was shaking gently in his hand, echoing the bamboo embroidery on the long gown, adding elegance.He walked with his head held high and upright, and the criticism of him in the market was immediately reduced by more than half.

Humans are the animals that are best at judging people by their appearance, and they are also the most easily deceived by their appearance.

Guo Yizhen was like this, and so were the spectators.

Zhou Kuang is a scholar with a high degree of education, and the guards treat him with courtesy, but he has a different face to Mrs. Xiang: Mrs. Xiang is held on the shoulder by two big men. If she walks slowly, she will be hit on her calf Well, she was used to being arrogant in the Zhou Mansion, but now she was directly knocked into the dust.

But she endured it because she did it voluntarily.

Zhou's mother finally persuaded her, the condition is 300 taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver can build a beautiful big brick house with green bricks, and 300 taels is not a small amount in the eyes of people of their class.

Sister-in-law Xiang was moved, she just went to answer a few words, get beaten up, and get money when she comes back, this is a good deal!
A few minutes ago, County Magistrate Du was called by his wife to speak.

The case was very uncomfortable for him.

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked woman in the hall, she was obviously being hit by the board, but she was not ashamed, but her eyes were full of uncontrollable expectations, she even forgot to cry out the pain!

He became more and more annoyed when he saw it, and immediately dropped the gavel after hitting the board: "What a shameless woman! Retire!"

……

Sister-in-law Xiang was beaten twenty boards, and she still has a few days in jail.

This is what the cook went out to inquire about.

Lan Shuying is very clear that there are only three people she can use in the Zhou Mansion: Master Zou, Yue Ping and the cook in front of her.

And the other people who were brought out from the Guo family and were loyal to Guo Yizhen were all driven away by Zhou's mother and son with various excuses.

This made Lan Shuying a bit pity, but there was a huge crowd, and she had no confidence in finding them all.

After a few days, Zhou Kuang sent someone to quietly take Mrs. Xiang back and place her in Zhou's mother's yard to recuperate.

When we came together this day, Lan Shuying asked Yueping to guard the door. She performed a set of fitness boxing techniques in the bedroom. After finishing the whole set, she was sweating all over. Seeing the sky, Yueping praised her in surprise and looked very good today.

"It's fine when you're done practicing."

Lan Shuying comforted her, changed her clothes, washed and washed, and had breakfast, she called Yueping and went straight to the yard where Zhou's mother was.

Before she walked in, she heard Sister-in-law Xiang's signature drake voice, but she couldn't hear what she was calling clearly. Lan Shuying walked in, just in time to see Sister-in-law Xiang grabbing the corner of Zhou's mother's clothes.

The original sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks were mean, but the eyes were protruding because of anger, which made it even more ugly.

"Where did this come from?"

Hearing this, the two turned their heads at the same time, Zhou's mother saw that it was her, her eyes showed panic, and she screamed, "What are you doing here?!"

Lan Shuying sat in the wooden chair opposite her, and said leisurely, "Guess."

Zhou's mother was silent for a while, suppressing the flustered feeling that things were going off the rails, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want to return to the housekeeper?"

　Good night everyone~~~~~
