New widow

All I can think about is fighting over each other in this courtyard. The funny thing is that they are all poor people, just for that little favor, you hurt me and I hurt you.

Madam Huang didn't speak anymore and followed Su Qiao back. After a while, Su Qiao said: "When Aunt Zhou went to the nunnery, she took everything in the room with her."

Song An spends money generously, and Aunt Zhou has also been favored before, so there are not many things in the room. Madam Huang responded softly, and after a while she said: "She went to the nunnery, hoping to truly be at peace."

"Life in the nunnery will not be hard." Although Mrs. Huang doesn't care about the monthly money in the nunnery, she often goes to the nunnery. There are abundant supplies in the nunnery. The fifth wife has her own quiet room, and Aunt Zhou must also They will have their own courtyards and no longer compete for Song An's favor. Maybe the two of them can really find peace.

"Send someone to ask the Ministry of Justice how the trial of the Duke of Guo went." Suqiao's words interrupted Huang Niangzi's meditation, and Huang Niangzi hurriedly responded.

"When this case is over, things will be over." Su Qiao said lightly, but Madam Huang heard something else from Su Qiao's words, but Madam Huang did not dare to ask more questions, and just stayed with her. Suqiao walked back to the yard.

A crabapple in the yard was in full bloom. Xi'er and Chunhua were standing under it, arguing about which crabapple was the best and whether to pick it and put it in the room.

"You two are quite interested." Su Qiao interrupted the argument between the two. Xi'er had already said to Su Qiao with a smile: "Madam, I think this crabapple is the best and should be placed in the room, but Sister Chunhua thinks the other one is better."

The one Xi'er pointed to is a flower.

It is in full bloom, and the branches are so dense that no branches can be seen. As for the spring flower mentioned, it is not in full bloom and has already brought a few green leaves.

"These red flowers need to be lined with green leaves." Chun Hua shouted there, not happy, and went over to hold Chun Hua's sleeve and said that flowers are beautiful only when they are in full bloom.

"Okay, okay, Madam is still here, so don't make any noise." Madam Huang looked on and smiled when she saw this and said: "Why don't you send one to the Madam's room and the other to the girl's room. "

"Okay, okay!" After saying that, Xi'er was about to move a chair so that she could pick begonias. Suqiao watched Xi'er and Chunhua busy there. They picked begonias and were still arguing about which vase to put flowers in. It’s so beautiful, it even makes sense no matter where it is placed.

"Young girls love to talk so much." Seeing the look of reminiscence on Su Qiao's face, Madam Huang said this.

"Talk and laugh, this day will not be so boring." When Xi'er heard Su Qiao say this, she already smiled and said, "That's right, just talk and laugh, so that it won't be boring." After saying this, Xi'er called out. "Sister Chunhua, you've wet my skirt."

"If you are so talkative, it's strange that this skirt isn't wet." Chunhua and Xi'er started playing around again. Amid the laughter, a woman walked in: "Madam, Mr. Su said, there is something important. , please go out, madam."

Counting the time, the trial was indeed almost over. Suqiao was about to go out when she remembered something and said to her mother-in-law: "Go and bring Aunt Zhou out."

Aunt Zhou? The mother-in-law looked at Suqiao in surprise, but soon she ran to invite Aunt Zhou.

"Let's go and take a look. The Ministry of Punishment has been interrogating for so many days.

Son, what is the result of the trial? " Suqiao's words made Madam Huang frown. It seemed that Suqiao was very dissatisfied with the review by the Ministry of Justice.

Su Du stood in the hall and waited. He was dressed as a government official today. The blue official uniform on his body added a bit of majesty. It was different from the way the young master dressed when he lived in the Duke's Mansion and investigated cases.

Hearing the footsteps, Su Du turned around and saluted Su Qiao: "Madam, you are polite."

"Master Su, please sit down. What's important?" Su Qiao made a gesture of invitation and sat aside. Su Du did not sit down: "I guess Madam has already guessed it. That person refused to admit that it was him. Did this.”

It's right not to admit it. According to family law, this is killing an elder brother. According to national law, this is killing an honorable person. Either way, Mr. Eleven has no reason to live.

"You haven't executed anyone before?" Su Qiao asked calmly. Su Du raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he couldn't understand Su Qiao's words. After all, it was really not something a woman could say to ask for punishment.

"Moved, but it's very strange. He is not afraid of being tortured at all, even..." Su Du swallowed the words just as he was about to speak: "Except for his title, this man doesn't care about anything else, even including His wife and children.”

The wife and children were at Master Shiyi's place, but they were just stepping stones. Su Qiao frowned and said to Su Du, "Then come here, what do you want to ask?"

"We have run out of ideas. We can't settle the case in confusion, so we wanted to ask Madam, but there is other evidence." Su Du said, "If there is no other evidence, this case can only be delayed. ."

"Madam, Aunt Zhou is here." The mother-in-law's voice sounded, Su Qiao said to Su Dudan

Smiling lightly: "Isn't this the other evidence that's coming?"

Su Du knew that Aunt Zhou was a concubine in the Duke's palace, but he didn't expect that she could still be used as evidence. Su Du raised his head and looked at Su Qiao: "What do you mean?"

"Madam, do you want me to die?" Aunt Zhou's question also sounded. Suqiao looked at Aunt Zhou: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

This question left Aunt Zhou speechless. After a while, Aunt Zhou said: "I'm afraid, I'm extremely afraid."

"You are afraid of death and suffering, but you don't mind letting others die or suffer. I originally thought you were not afraid of death." Su Qiao's words were full of ridicule, which left Aunt Zhou speechless. After saying this, Aunt Zhou knelt down in front of Su Qiao: "Madam, that was all my fault. I shouldn't have said such things. Please be kind to Madam and don't let me die."

"Madam, what's going on?" Su Du felt that there must be something he didn't understand, so he frowned and asked Su Qiao.

"Tell me everything you know." Su Qiao only spoke to Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou frowned and then relaxed: "Madam, will you let me die?"

"I said I would send you to the nunnery to accompany the fifth wife." Su Qiao's words made Aunt Zhou sigh: "So, my wife won't let me die."

"That maid, what's going on?" Suqiao had already asked, and Aunt Zhou smiled: "It starts with my origin. Madam, I told you that I am a thin horse, but even the Duke I don’t know, in fact, it was Master Shiyi who picked me, but he didn’t personally send me to the Duke of Guo, but asked someone who asked for the Duke of Guo to send me in.”

Master Eleven is doing something,

It was extremely meticulous, Su Qiao's brows furrowed, Su Du was surprised at first, and then nodded.
