New widow

Chapter 407

"Madam, I told you, who dares to mess with the people here?" The mother-in-law only said this in a low voice. Mrs. Du was afraid that Su Qiao would hear it, so she looked towards Su Qiao, but I saw Suqiao talking to Grandma Li, but I didn't think she heard her.

Mrs. Du felt relieved and said to Suqiao: "Let's go this way."

"How many of your tenants are in this village?" Suqiao asked deliberately, and Mrs. Du smiled: "How can we accommodate so many tenants? There are only a few tenants in this village, half a mile away from here, and they are close to each other. That village is where the tenants live."

Following her finger, Suqiao saw Zhuangzi, so Suqiao smiled: "In addition to the tenants, they are your servants. It's really a good life."

"Even these people, some are disobedient." Mrs. Du looked like she had a headache: "I would also like to ask Madam Kuang for advice on how to treat the servants. Is it better to be more lenient or strict? good."

"It's natural to treat your servants with kindness and power, and with leniency and severity." Su Qiao could say a lot of such general remarks. Mrs. Du clapped her hands: "She really comes from a wealthy family. These words make sense."

When Mrs. Du was talking to Su Qiao, she didn't see that Nanny Li had quietly left in the direction where the two people left.

After looking around the village, Mrs. Du and Su Qiao returned to the house. The maid came to report that lunch was ready, and Mrs. Du invited Su Qiao to eat: "Don't dislike the simple food here."

"How can I dislike it?" Su Qiao and Mrs. Du were polite and went to have a meal. Before the meal, Mrs. Du asked the maid, Xiao

When Mr. Wang didn't come back yet, Mrs. Du couldn't help but cursed a few times and asked the maid to go back.

"Madam, this young man is outside, wandering around like this, what are the precautions?" Before the maid could finish her words, Mrs. Du slapped the maid with a blow: "What if, if there is no such thing, on this ground?" , I can’t protect anyone anymore.”

The maid was beaten, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just quietly retreated.

Su Qiao and Mrs. Du had dinner together. Mrs. Du would inevitably brag about the prince, but Su Qiao smiled and said nothing. Mrs. Du covered her face with wine and said to Su Qiao: "My nephew has a good character and family background. I don't know if he will..."

"Today's meal is good. I'm full now and it's time to leave." Naturally, Su Qiao would not accept Mrs. Du's words. Mrs. Du could only stand up and said: "Then I will give it to you. go out."

Su Qiao and Mrs. Du came to the second door. Mrs. Du asked people to prepare Su Qiao's carriage. Nanny Li had already come from not far away. Suqiao saw Grandma Li and said deliberately: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

"I caught a cold yesterday, I'm afraid I had a stomachache." Aunt Li just blamed it on her discomfort. Suqiao smiled and said nothing. The carriage had already arrived in front of the second door. Mrs. Du had just When she was about to ask Suqiao to get in the car, a woman came over in a hurry: "Madam, it's bad, something happened."

"Don't you see that I'm still talking to people here?" Mrs. Du scolded her as she felt that all the servants in her family couldn't get into the basin.

"You have something to do, you are busy, and we will leave first." Suqiao said.

After getting into the car with the help of Granny Li, Mrs. Du changed her expression, said a few words to Su Qiao, and watched Su Qiao's carriage leave.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Mrs. Du sent Su Qiao away and then turned around to scold her servants.

"Madam, our young master was kidnapped in that village." When Mrs. Du heard this, she was not even surprised. She was so shocked that she didn't care about anything. She said to her mother-in-law: "Does my sister know about this?"

"It just happened, how could you know?" The mother-in-law only came to report a message. As for how to deal with this matter, the mother-in-law doesn't know. After all, this is the young master of the Shangshu Mansion, and he was taken away. That's the end of the world. Big disaster.

"Hurry up and see what kind of disaster it is." Mrs. Du ordered sternly, and the mother-in-law ran away in a hurry.

Just as Mrs. Du was about to go back to have a rest, someone came over again. This time it was a tenant farmer on the farm: "It's not good, madam, it's not good. At this moment, a group of government servants suddenly came to the village and said they were going to arrest them." People from our village."

"Arrest the people in our village?" Mrs. Du couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of person dares to come to our village to arrest people."

"They said they were from the magistrate's office." The tenant farmer's hands trembled: "They also said that our village is harboring some suspects who are being hunted throughout the city."

"That's unreasonable! Where is the master?" Mrs. Du felt that almost everything had happened at this time. She finally thought of her husband and asked where her husband had gone.

"Master, I'm still in the city and haven't come back yet." The tenant farmer hesitated. Of course Mrs. Du knew where her husband had gone.

, naturally it is Huajieliuxiang. Although my husband will not carry those people home, he always goes to have a party during holidays.

"You go and invite the master back from the city, and I will go and see the government officials." Mrs. Du could only pretend to be calm at this time. After all, it is not a woman's turn to come forward in such a matter, but Mr. Du is already old, and besides, Mr. Du is even more miserable than Mr. Du. This kind of thing will frighten him to death, so how can he come forward to deal with it.

When Mrs. Du arrived, she heard the yamen officer shout loudly: "This is the yamen arrest document. Now, someone has accused your village of harboring the suspect. Of course we have to take him away."

"These two are just tenant farmers on our farm. They are the suspects." Mrs. Du said loudly. Everyone had already made a way for her to go in. The yamen officer looked at Mrs. Du and then said to the people around him: " Who is this?"

"This is the eldest lady of our family. Since the master is not here at the moment, she will naturally come forward." After hearing this, the Yamen servant said, "That's it."

Then the yamen officer looked at Mrs. Du: "This matter, the yamen has been issuing arrest warrants for several months, and has also come to your village to search. Because your village has a relationship with the Shang Shufu, we did not search carefully. Who would have known that such a coincidence would happen in this world, Zhuangzi, a relative of Shangshu Mansion, actually hid the suspect who burned down Shangshu Mansion."

Mrs. Du's heart was beating wildly when she heard what the yamen officer said, but she still showed a look on her face that the yamen officer had made a mistake: "That's what I said. Others said the two of them were suspects, so they..."

Before Mrs. Du finished speaking, she saw the yamen servant

Dropping a small knife: "This was found in their house."
