New widow

"What are you farting here?" Aunt Su was still carefully protecting her belly and sitting next to the maid. After hearing Aunt Zhou's words, Aunt Su stood up in confusion and pointed at Aunt Zhou: "Speak of jealousy. , you are jealous of me. You are jealous that although I am not favored by you, I am pregnant, so you put medicine in the master's cup to kill him."

Aunt Zhou stretched out her hand and pulled Aunt Su's hair. Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, the maids and wives were worried about Aunt Su's stomach and afraid that Aunt Zhou would become violent. They all gathered around and tried to persuade them.

Although Su Du knew that it was common for the aunts in the backyard to fight for favor and jealousy, he did not expect that at such a time, the two of them would actually attack each other. When he heard that a fight had begun inside, Su Du knew that this question was not allowed. I could only say to the boy: "Please go and tell your wife that tomorrow..."

"Master, you can't wait until tomorrow." Aunt Zhou's ears are very good, and she shouted loudly when she heard this: "I can tell you, it was Aunt Su who did it. If you don't believe it, you can open the coffin and do an autopsy. The master's death , there must be something fishy."

"What kind of peace of mind do you have? You can't live peacefully even if you want me to leave?" Aunt Su also yelled there. Aunt Zhou sneered: "I'm not like you. I'm a person who cares about the head but not the tail. The death of the master will always be a big deal." We need to find out clearly."

There was a commotion inside now. Zhang Qing was dumbfounded and said to Su Du: "My dear, are the aunts in the backyard like this?"

Su Du's upbringing from an early age would not allow him to talk about other women's families, so he could only smile lightly. Naturally, there were some concubines and maids in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, but there were no

It’s just that Zhou and Su were so blatant.

"You still have the nerve to say that you and Po Wen colluded to kill the lady in front of you." Aunt Su couldn't defeat Aunt Zhou, so she exposed her shortcomings one after another.

"That's enough!" Su Qiao's voice sounded. She looked at the maids and women, and ordered in a deep voice: "No matter who they are, pull them down for me. Don't worry about anything."

There is no need to worry about anything, that is to say, there is no need to worry about the child in Aunt Su's belly. In this case, the mothers-in-law will have less worries when they take action.

Seeing the women coming to pull her like wolves and tigers, Aunt Su wanted to scream a few times to protect her belly, but when she saw the coldness in Su Qiao's eyes, Aunt Su was too frightened to say anything. He pulled it down with all his might.

"Madam, madam, you must make the decision for me. The first lady obviously died in childbirth, and it has nothing to do with me." Aunt Zhou knelt in front of Suqiao and shouted loudly.

"Anyway, there are officials from the Ministry of Punishment here. Let's ask and check together when the time comes. We will naturally find out." Su Qiao knew that if she continued to be soft-spoken to them, she was afraid that these people would step on her head. Go up, so he said in a deep voice.

Aunt Zhou wanted to continue shouting, but she was pulled down by the ladies. Suqiao looked at the messy place and said to the maids: "Clean up this place."

All the maids responded, and Su Qiao stood behind the screen and said to the outside: "Is Mr. Su still here?"

This can be regarded as knowingly asking. After all, Su Du said that he would ask the two aunts to come over and ask them carefully. At this moment, nothing was asked, so Su Du naturally did not leave.

But Suqiao can't find anything wrong by asking this question.

When he came, Su Du had already bowed his hand and said, "Madam, I haven't left yet."

"Mr. Su, you heard clearly what the two of them said just now. In this case, I am not afraid of making any family scandal public, and I ask Mr. Su to act according to the rules."

The meaning of Su Qiao's words was what Aunt Su said, and the cause of death of the previous lady was also investigated. Su Du was stunned for a moment when he heard what he meant. After all, if the unfaithful case were to be found out, the title would most likely not be preserved. But Su Du couldn't tell the reason directly. He just said to Su Qiao: "Madam, I understand what I mean. However, this matter is of great importance. Madam, please think twice."

"Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate carefully. Naturally, he also wants to restore everyone's innocence. Although I am a woman, I also know what should be done and what should not be done." Suqiao's voice spoke clearly from behind the screen. When the news came, Su Du remembered the surprising glimpse of Su Qiao outside the study that day. At that time, Su Qiao was just a woman dressed in filial piety, and Su Du didn't see clearly what she looked like.

But now Su Qiao's words were so decisive that Su Du had the illusion that Su Qiao didn't care about the title or the British government. This made Su Du curious about Su Qiao, but Su Du quickly suppressed this curiosity and said to Su Qiao: "In that case, I will order someone to prepare."

Then there was no sound from behind the screen, but Su Du was still standing in front of the screen. Zhang Qing had already patted Su Du: "Okay now, we will definitely be scolded."

Opening the coffin for an autopsy would disturb the deceased, let alone a nobleman like the British Duke. Su Du just smiled faintly: "Madam is right, Your Majesty."

An edict was issued to order the Ministry of Punishment to investigate carefully. "

Since it was an order, anything could be done. If the British government was unwilling to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, the British government could only write to the emperor and plead for exemption. However, Su Du thought carefully now, and he was afraid that the emperor would not exempt him.

Thinking about this, Su Du showed a wry smile. He originally thought that coming to the British Palace was just a formality, but he never thought that this visit might touch the privacy of the British Palace, or even...

Su Du was still thinking when he heard Zhang Qing say to Su Du: "I will handle this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

Su Du knew that Zhang Qing was trying to blame Zhang Qing, so Su Du immediately shook his head: "That can't be done, I..."

"It's impossible to achieve anything. You are a descendant of a noble family, and I was born as a Jinshi. As for me, I'm just a minor historian who has cleared my family background. To be able to reach today's status is just smoke rising from my ancestral graves. Those scoldings I have heard since I was a child. Big, now it’s just listening a few more times, so what’s that?”

Zhang Qing said calmly, Su Du patted Zhang Qing's shoulder, and Zhang Qing smiled again: "If you feel really embarrassed, just treat me to a few more meals when this matter is over."

"Definitely." Su Du replied with a smile. Zhang Qing's eyebrows were all smiles. Su Du couldn't help but look behind the screen. He didn't know what kind of turmoil would be caused in the Song family?

As soon as Suqiao returned to the mourning hall, Mrs. Song Wu grabbed her hand and said, "Sister-in-law Third, you agreed to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."

"Yes!" Su Qiao only answered this one word, and Mrs. Song Wu was frightened and took a step back: "It's too shameful to do this."

As soon as the word "decent" came out of her mouth, Suqiao smiled, with a

ridicule. Seeing the smile on Su Qiao's face, Mrs. Song Wu calmed down and said, "Third sister-in-law, this matter must be discussed with the clan."
