New widow

"Three days, three days to find the real murderer?" Suqiao said worriedly without thanking them first.

Su Du had already laughed: "Three days is enough. Anyway, such a chief officer is really..." Su Du did not say anything. Zhang Qing smiled: "Such things happen often, and It’s not just one or two days.”

Officials naturally know that there are all kinds of disputes in the officialdom. Su Qiao nodded: "Master Su, there is no need to worry. It's just Master Zhang. I think some people don't like you."

"Who else could it be?" Zhang Qing smiled after saying this: "It's not the one from the Shangshu Mansion. He is just a retired Shangshu who lives at home, and he is not an overlord."

It is not like Zhang Qing has never seen officials in the capital who are more powerful than the minister.

Suqiao didn't smile. A retired minister could cover the sky with one hand in a place like this.

"It doesn't matter, let's go look for evidence first." Su Du only said this, and Zhang Qing also smiled: "Yes, looking for evidence is the most important thing." As for other things, let's just do this first. They will be the first to exclude anything. go.

The prefect returned to the yamen and angrily took off his official uniform. The prefect's wife had already come up to help him change clothes: "This Mr. Kuang is really, really difficult to deal with."

"When gods fight, why do we have to suffer?" The prefect said with a wry smile, and the prefect's wife sighed: "Originally, there was only Wang Shangshu, so forget it, but now, it is the two of them who are quarreling."

"I can't complain about the quarrel. I heard that the daughter is well-raised and dependent on the Kuang family. As for the prince, he can't do anything. The Kuang family doesn't want her.

Marrying is also normal. The prefect's wife didn't like hearing what the prefect said: "Don't shirk your family. If this person dies, he will die. It's not a big deal. But because of this person, the two families are quarreling." , don’t get us involved when the time comes. "

"Don't worry, I've already found a scapegoat." The prefect mused. This time, whether it was Zhang Qing or Su Du, someone must be thrown out as a scapegoat to make the prefect feel at ease. After all, these two Even if he is an official, the prefect does not want him.

The commotion in front of the magistrate's office soon reached Mrs. Du's ears. Mrs. Du couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, let's see what other tricks she has."

"Madam, look, is this matter a little too big?" the housekeeper asked softly, and Mrs. Du gave her a sideways glance: "You have been with me for so many years, why are you so timid now? No matter how big the trouble is, there will always be someone who can support it."

"On the other side of the capital, if..." The housekeeper's words made Mrs. Du smile contemptuously: "What are you worried about? The master has already written to the other side of the capital. When the time comes, the other side of the capital has agreed to the marriage, and we can only endure it. "

"In that case, why do you still want to..." the housekeeper asked cautiously, and Mrs. Du pursed her lips: "She actually dares to look down on me and my son. I'm going to show her what it means, how many times." Something I bought for two taels of silver."

The housekeeper knew that this was Mrs. Du's heartache. Mrs. Du was only twenty-eight years old, and it was time to talk about the marriage. Because she was born with a good appearance, Wang Shangshu said that he wanted to find a maid to warm the bed, and promised Madam Shangshu that she would not move. this

Bed warmer maid. Mrs. Shangshu thought that her husband was over sixty years old, so she acquiesced. The matchmaker acted as a matchmaker, and Mrs. Du was sold to the Shangshu Mansion for 20 taels of silver. Who would have known that one day, Wang Shangshu and Mrs. Du would have an affair. By the time Mrs. Shangshu knew about it, Mrs. Du's belly was already too big to be dislodged.

Mrs. Shangshu could only swallow her anger and let Wang Shangshu give Mrs. Du a favor and take over the house. After giving birth to a son, Mrs. Du became the special favor of the family. Mrs. Shangshu wanted to send Mrs. Du away several times, but Wang Shangshu was no longer the temperament of his youth and refused to let his wife send Mrs. Du away.

Mrs. Shangshu suffered a few bouts of idleness and became angry, but she disappeared within a few years. Now that Mrs. Shangshu was gone, Mrs. Du took control of the family affairs. She served Wang Shangshu well. She also built a monastery in the garden and bought four beautiful maids to serve Wang Shangshu.

Wang Shangshu only felt that he had been prosperous for so many years and could only enjoy peace and happiness when he was old. Naturally, he listened to Mrs. Du's words and allowed Mrs. Du to make troubles. It had not been a year or two since the family had been called Mrs. Du, and Wang Shangshu just pretended not to hear.

Everything goes well for Mrs. Du, except for two things. One is Wang Shangshu's unwillingness to correct her, and the other is her son's marriage. At this moment, Suqiao can be said to have stepped on both of Mrs. Du's two things. How could Mrs. Du let Suqiao go so easily? She just wanted to peel off Suqiao's skin to feel comfortable.

Seeing Mrs. Du's expression, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Madam, what you said is that the little one is indeed timid."

"Besides, we didn't kill people." Mrs. Du spoke softly. When the housekeeper heard this, she was stunned.

His color changed slightly, and then the housekeeper smiled and said: "Yes, it's just that the person didn't go to the doctor to wrap up the wound." Mrs. Du also smiled: "That's it, that stupid judge wants to sentence a stupid case , what does it have to do with us?"

"Madam has always been resourceful." The housekeeper praised her with a smile, and Mrs. Du smiled again. For a daughter of an official family like Xingqiao, in terms of status and dignity, she was far inferior to her, but in terms of these methods, Du The wife felt that ten Suqiao bundles together were not as good as her own.

Otherwise, why would he be kicked out of the capital by the British government, and he could only come to a house like this to retire, and he had the nerve to hide it from others and say that he needed to cultivate himself. Who is recuperating and only living in a small house like this?

"Wait, I want her to deliver her daughter with her own hands." Mrs. Du said with a sneer. Only in this way can she relieve her hatred.

When Suqiao and the others returned home, it was already evening. Sister-in-law Wu had been standing at the door of the house. When she saw the carriage approaching from a distance, Sister-in-law Wu breathed a sigh of relief and shouted into the yard: "My wife is back."

When Song Zhen and Xia Yun heard this, they both ran out. Sister-in-law Wu had already lifted the curtain and helped Su Qiao out of the car. When she saw Su Qiao, Song Zhen rushed forward and hugged Su Qiao tightly: "Come back. Yes, I’m so worried.”

"What are you worried about?" Suqiao pinched her face: "If there are some things that I can't solve, then you must not be able to solve them either." This sentence was correct, and Song Zhen's face suddenly turned red: "Then I'm also worried, worried, what should I do if something happens to you."

"Just do whatever you have to do." Su Qiao said lightly, seeing Xia

Yun Na was also desperately trying to hold back her tears. Su Qiao smiled at Xia Yun and said, "Don't try to persuade your sister."
