New widow

"Third brother and sister, no, madam, I want to talk to you for a few words at this moment." Mrs. Song usually saw Su Qiao. Although she was very enthusiastic, there was still a bit of disdain in her enthusiasm, rather than being like Today's situation is even a bit flattering to Su Qiao.

"What's the matter?" After entering the house, Suqiao asked Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song's face turned red: "Actually, I want to ask you to bring the film and go to the front office to ask for a favor. Release Lao Zhutou."

Lao Zhutou? Suqiao thought for a while and then remembered that the old man who made trouble there that day was named Zhu, so Suqiao looked at Mrs. Song: "A servant who was kicked out of the house actually labored for you to intercede. Is there something behind this?" thing."

"This, I," Mrs. Song's face turned red and white, and after a while she finally made up her mind and said, "At this point, I won't hide it from you anymore. This old Zhutou, if you really want to count it out, how can you still be with me?" I have relatives in my family.”

"Are you related?" Su Qiao was surprised at this moment. Mrs. Song looked at Su Qiao and said, "Actually, many people in the house know about this matter. Old Zhutou has a daughter who married a girl from my natal family. Cousin."

After saying this, Mrs. Song's face turned red. Although women were expected to marry high, marrying such a person was still difficult for a face-saving person like Mrs. Song to talk about.

"So, when you meet Mrs. Zhu, you have to call her your mother-in-law." Suqiao's words sounded to Mrs. Song's ears like a slap in the face. Mrs. Song waved her hands hurriedly: "That's not the case. , Mrs. Zhu was still very respectful when she met me."

This was getting darker and darker. Suqiao smiled: "Then the man who raped a common girl to be a concubine is Zhu

Someone from home. "

"That's Lao Zhutou's son." Mrs. Song's voice was as small as a mosquito. Suqiao could only hear it if she listened carefully. Suqiao couldn't help but laugh angrily: "The son of a servant, in his own village, all They were so powerful that they forcibly separated the couple and took them as concubines. Now they are just put in jail and suffer for a few days before they can't stand it anymore."

"I didn't want to come originally, but my mother-in-law..." Mrs. Song said, slapping herself in the face, and hurriedly changed her words: "Lao Zhu's wife and my nephew's wife came and begged so hard that I moved with compassion. Heart."

"That's all, I don't care how your compassionate heart moves. You go back and tell them what I mean. If you leave my family, you are no longer a member of my family. If you want to ask for mercy again, you can only In a word, I will hold them accountable for the many evil things they did outside in the name of our family." Su Qiao's words left Mrs. Song speechless, so Mrs. Song could only stand up and leave.

"That's too much." After a while, Su Qiao uttered these four words, and then Xi'er dared to step forward and pour tea for Su Qiao: "I was shocked when I saw Mrs. Cai's appearance just now. "

"Why were you frightened?" Su Qiao took the tea and asked Xi'er with a smile. Xi'er tilted her head: "I don't think Madam is angry."

Suqiao burst out laughing: "I really can't tell you are complimenting me."

"I'm very happy if I can make Madam smile." Seeing Su Qiao smile, Xi'er clapped her hands happily. Seeing Xi'er being so innocent, Su Qiao couldn't help but curl her lips and smile. It's okay, there is such an innocent person. people by your side,

It can add a bit of joy to this boring day.

Mrs. Song returned to her home. As soon as she walked into the courtyard gate, Mrs. Zhu and her daughter who were waiting there stepped forward and took Mrs. Song's hand. Mrs. Zhu couldn't wait to ask: "Has Madam agreed?"

"She must not have agreed." Her daughter observed her words and spoke first. Old Zhu's wife was filled with hatred: "Our family has paid so much for the government of the country, and now it's okay to just kick us out. It’s okay to take away the furniture we have accumulated over the years, but now, it’s just a trivial matter, and she won’t even intercede. Why did the Duke marry such a vicious woman in the first place?”

"Mom, don't say that." Her daughter hurriedly tugged on Mrs. Zhu's clothes. Old Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth tightly and wanted to curse a few more words, but Mrs. Song said tiredly: "She also said that if you continue to persist, you will be held accountable for relying on the power of the Duke's Palace. , did those things.”

Old Zhu's wife's expression suddenly changed. Old Zhu Tou didn't dare to do this thing of bullying men and dominating women. Besides, Old Zhu Tou didn't have to do it. The maids and daughters-in-law in this house were better than those outside, and they were all raised to be thin and tender. There is no need to look for meat outside.

But Lao Zhutou's son was not so careful. Although he was born as a servant, he had been served by someone at home since he was a child. He just pretended to serve in the study for two years, with no wind, no sun, no rain, no rain. When the time came, When he was 13 years old, Lao Zhutou begged Song An again and was released. He went to the village at home, fighting cocks and running horses, doing everything.

Besides, his father is the one whom Song An trusts the most

Ren's servant, this person went out to socialize, took advantage of the influence of the Duke's government, and was favored by others. Over time, he became arrogant and domineering. Two years ago, when he saw a beautiful village woman, he went up to her and teased her with words. He was fierce in nature and naturally refused to be teased. In a rage, he asked the boy who followed him to snatch the village woman to the village. When the husband came to look for her, he refused to come forward and just beat the husband. After a meal, he left another 30 taels of silver, 20 taels of silver to repay the village woman's worth, and [-] taels of silver to treat the husband's injuries.

The husband wanted to sue, but he heard that he was the son of the steward of the Duke's Mansion. Those people didn't even dare to write a complaint. The husband could only bury his hatred in his heart. Hearing that Lao Zhutou and his family were kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, So the husband looked for someone to write a complaint overnight and went to complain.

The yamen refused to accept his complaint at first, but after hearing that Lao Zhutou had been kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, he accepted the complaint and went to bring the son. Who knew that the son was still domineering? He seemed to refuse to come, and a fight broke out. The government officials simply locked up Lao Zhu's head.

After being locked up for a few days, Mrs. Zhu went to look for her daughter and asked her to follow her to the Song family to plead for mercy. However, she did not dare to look for Suqiao directly and came to look for Mrs. Song first.

The daughter, one aunt at a time, begged and talked about this matter again. Then she would definitely restrain her father and younger brother, and would not let them get into trouble again, and would let them live peacefully in the village.

Mrs. Song just refused to speak. The daughter had no choice but to take off a pair of gold bracelets from her wrists, saying that they were filial piety to her aunt. The pair of gold bracelets are the daughter's dowry. Mrs. Song has seen them

Yes, a pair of gold bracelets also has three ounces. Moreover, this bracelet is also inlaid with a pair of cat's eye stones. Mrs. Song does not have such a pair of bracelets.
