New widow

"Go back, go back." Mrs. Wan sighed as she spoke. Suqiao knew why Mrs. Wan sighed, but this was the only way to handle the matter.

Suqiao and Mrs. Wan got on the sedan, and Wan Dequan went back to Nanhuo Store first. The people in front of Tuiguan Yamen gradually dispersed. Zhang Qing was about to walk into the Yamen when he looked back and walked up as if he felt something. Su Du smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Everyone in the city knows about such a large formation." Su Du only said this, and Zhang Qing also laughed: "I never knew there was such a bold woman."

Falling out with one's husband's family is actually not uncommon, and one hears more about not having any contact with one's mother-in-law's family. However, Su Qiao had been talking with the Zhang family for a long time about leaving the capital and living on their own. At this moment, in front of everyone, she had actually broken up with Mr. Kuang.

After all, officials care most about their official reputation. And with so many people watching this matter, it would be very difficult for Mr. Kuang to conceal it even if he wanted to.

"Yes, she is indeed very courageous." Thinking of how the cause of Song An's death was found out, Su Du couldn't help but lower his eyes. He was very courageous, but very careful. He could even strategize and force Song An to The family agreed to her conditions and left the capital with Song Zhen.

What kind of person can be worthy of such a woman? For a moment, Su Du wanted to ask what kind of person Su Qiao's first husband was, but he only knew that he was a scholar. How much knowledge does a country scholar have that can impress Su Qiao?

"Why are you so worried?" Zhang Qing saw that Su Du seemed to be preoccupied with his thoughts and couldn't help asking with a smile. Su Du was already smiling.

"Nothing, nothing to worry about."

"I don't believe it." Zhang Qing only said this, and Su Du hurriedly found a reason: "Maybe he was too busy preparing for the wedding."

"Maybe you're a little nervous." Zhang Qing said with a smile. Su Du looked at Zhang Qing: "What are you nervous about?"

"From now on, you will have a family." The two of them had already walked into the official Yamen, and Zhang Qing pushed open the room: "My place is small, and it is different from your place."

"I told you, just continue to live with me, but you have to move out." Su Du looked at the small main room. Although there were three main rooms, these three main rooms were smaller than the ones connected to the judge's yamen. It's much smaller, I can't help but shake my head.

"It's different. We don't have any female relatives, so we can live with you." As Zhang Qing was about to make tea for Su Du, Su Du stopped him: "I asked you to bring a servant over to serve you. You can also Not willing."

"I can't afford it." Zhang Qing found tea leaves, fetched water from a well on the side, and boiled the water on the tea stove.

"I won't ask you for the boy's monthly payment." Su Du was already a little angry. Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It's different. When you get married and have a wife, your wife will definitely ask, why do you have to pay this person's monthly payment?"

"No." That's what Su Du said. Zhang Qing looked at him with a smile: "In the beginning, it will definitely not happen. Later, you will have children, and the salary of the general judge will not be generous, and you We can’t always rely on the Nanyang Marquis Mansion for subsidies.”

This sentence touched Su Du's mind. At this moment, the water in the pot was boiling. Zhang Qing made tea for Su Du and poured himself a cup: "Although my friend has a way of making money.

Righteousness, but there is also a saying, help the urgent but not the poor. "Su Du drank the tea slowly. Zhang Qing's tea was brought from Su Du. Su Du had always liked the aroma of this tea, but now that Su Du was drinking it, he only felt that this tea was extremely bitter.

"We two are not the same people." Zhang Qing said softly.

Although they were officials in the same dynasty, they were different. Su Du was used to a luxurious life. Even though he knew that the Nanyang Marquis Mansion would be divided in the future and Su Du would not receive much property, he still had the love of his parents. Su Du could continue as before. Live a luxurious life.

Zhang Qing, who was born into a poor family, relied on his intelligence and talent to get the appreciation of the former Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who cleared his identity and obtained a small official position for him. Zhang Qing's future can be seen at a glance, and his salary needs to be supplemented by the family to prevent his parents from being questioned at home.

"In my heart..." Su Du originally wanted to say that in his heart, Zhang Qing and he were the same person, but Zhang Qing had already waved his hand: "In this case, there is no need to say it. I know that in your heart, we are the same person. "

"Originally, things shouldn't be like this." There was some annoyance in Su Du's words. Zhang Qing thought Su Du was talking about this and shook his head with a smile: "That's how it is."

After saying that, Zhang Qing said to Su Du: "My mother said that she has found a good girl for me. When I come to Beijing next time to report on my work, we will get engaged. After we get married, I will take her to my post."

There was bitterness in Zhang Qing's words. Su Du wanted to ask Zhang Qing who the girl in his heart was, but Su Du was worried that asking would arouse Zhang Qing's sadness, so Su Du could only remain silent.

Su Du drank a cup of tea in silence. Even, Su Du didn't want to go to Shangshu Mansion to have dinner with his brother.

Naturally, Wang Shangshu knew clearly what was going on in front of the Tuiguan Yamen. After listening, Wang Shangshu sneered: "Idiot!"

"Master, this is not stupid," the steward said. Wang Shangshu looked at the steward and said, "You don't know how powerful some things are."

What's so powerful? The steward wanted to ask clearly, and then Wang Shangshu waved his hand to signal the steward to exit. I really didn't expect that that woman, even her biological father, couldn't suppress her. Such a woman is a serious problem!

As soon as this thought occurred, Wang Shangshu almost fell off his chair. How could a woman be such a thorn in her side? Aunt Du failed just because she was a backyard girl and only knew the backyard tricks and didn't know the officialdom tricks.

I am different. I have so many means in the officialdom. Do I still worry about missing something? Wang Shangshu smiled. If one plan fails, there are many other strategies.

As for Mr. Kuang, Wang Shangshu estimated that he would come looking for him again tomorrow.

Suqiao and Mrs. Wan returned home. Sister Song opened the door and saw Mrs. Wan coming back. Sister Song couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name, and then said softly: "My aunt has come to ask me several times, and I also I don’t dare to say where I went, I just want to come back now, I just want to come back.”

"Mother-in-law!" Before Mrs. Wan could speak, Aunt Wan's voice rang out. Seeing Mrs. Wan's expression, Aunt Wan was startled: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking like this?"

"It's just a trivial matter, why are you making such a fuss?" Old Mrs. Wan said

They didn't talk on the way, but when they saw their daughter-in-law, they waved and talked to her.
