New widow

As soon as the board fell on the prince's lap, the prince shouted loudly. This shout was full of desolation, but the prefect was used to hearing it and didn't care.

"Sir." The steward accompanied Wang Shangshu as he stood outside the yamen. Hearing the shouts coming from inside, the steward screamed in fear. Wang Shangshu's expression did not change and he just said softly: "Let's go."

"My lord, why not?" the steward said softly. Wang Shangshu just glared at him, but the steward did not dare to say what he said next. Wang Shangshu turned around and walked out: "What are you thinking about? At this moment, there is nothing." Dignity, honor, and even other things are all gone.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Shangshu choked on the cold wind and coughed. The housekeeper hurriedly slapped his back: "Sir, please take care of yourself."

People seek long life, but Wang Shangshu knows that after losing all dignity, honor and reputation, long life is like a curse.

"If I had known this, I should have strangled him to death when I first gave birth to him." Wang Shangshu said bitterly. When the housekeeper heard this, he did not dare to say anything else. After all, when Prince Wang was just born, Everyone can see Wang Shangshu's joy. He got a son when he was old. At that time, Wang Shangshu was very proud. Who would have thought that he could give birth to a child at such an age.

Now, this old man can bring down the Wang family. The Wang family's wealth, honor and dignity have been severely trampled under their feet. Everyone is watching the Wang family's jokes.

After being beaten several times, the prince lost his voice. Of course, the prefect did not dare to beat the prince to death. After all, the law of the country was the law of the country. If he really wanted to beat someone to death, Wang Shangshu could still control the prefect. So the prefect ordered people to stop the board, drag the prince aside, and have people apply medicine to him.

Aunt Liu has never seen such a battle. At this moment, her nephew has been sentenced to death, and his wife is about to be sold by the government. As for the prince who is omnipotent in Aunt Liu's eyes, he has also been beaten to pieces. , Aunt Liu was so frightened that she burst into tears, and kept saying that it was all Qiu Da's fault.

The magistrate didn't care about people like Aunt Liu, so he got rid of her with one stroke and expelled her from the government office.

Aunt Liu was kicked out of the yamen, stood in front of the yamen, and burst into tears. When they saw her crying, people naturally came to ask. When they heard what Aunt Liu had done, there were also people who despised her. Aunt Liu was usually eloquent, but now she felt like she couldn't say anything and just kept crying.

Someone still said with a smile: "Why are you crying now? Don't you have a daughter? Just go find your daughter."

"Perhaps her daughter can be sold for dozens of taels of silver so that she can use it for retirement." Some mean people couldn't help laughing and said. When Aunt Liu heard her daughter's words, she suddenly remembered that Liu Lan Hua was not taken away, so Aunt Liu stopped crying and hurried to Qiu's house.

The Qiu family's village were all tenants of the Du family. Now that the Du family has collapsed and the fields have been taken back by the Wang family, they have naturally become tenant farmers of the Wang family. But the Wang family and the Du family are different. The new village head that was changed a few days ago is different from the original one. So when Aunt Liu returned to Zhuangzi, she felt different from usual as soon as she entered the village. She felt that everything was quiet. , no one dared to speak.

In the end what happened? Aunt Liu didn't dare to look for anyone to ask, so she just hurried to the door. This house was originally considered a very good house in the village, and it was kept very clean. Sister-in-law Qiu also liked to plant some flowers and plants. The door of the house was open at the moment, and the flowers and plants were unattended and almost all of them were dead.

Aunt Liu walked in and saw the house turned into like this, she couldn't help but shed a few tears. She hurried into her daughter's room again, but when she didn't see her, Aunt Liu was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't care less. She went to the dressing table to touch her daughter's things, and found that all the jewelry was gone.

How can we live like this? Aunt Liu opened the box again and saw that the clothes inside were gone. Aunt Liu stopped looking and turned around to go to her own room. Aunt Liu's room was fine, but there was a little more dust. Aunt Liu hurriedly went under the bed, took out two small boxes, opened them, and found the The scraps of silver were still there, and Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were still there.

Aunt Liu wanted to take a look at Mr. and Mrs. Qiu's house, but she heard someone talking outside. Aunt Liu hurriedly hid the small box, and when she walked out, she saw a neighbor and a stranger.

When he saw Aunt Liu, the neighbor spoke first: "The court is held again today, and everyone said that this time there will be a verdict, so the head of the village is waiting for you." It turns out that the person in front of me is the head of the new village, Aunt Liu thought in her heart , he was about to step forward and salute, but the head of the village had already said: "This house has been packed with the things you should use. We are going to take this house back."

Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard this: "Why, do you want to take back this house?"

"This house was originally allocated to Qiu Da by Butler Qiu, as a favor to Shangshu. Now that he has committed a crime, this house will naturally be taken back. Shouldn't it be given to you to live in?" Zhuangtou said. The words made Aunt Liu's hands and feet feel cold. After a while, Aunt Liu said, "But me, I have nowhere to go."

"Don't you have an in-law's family? Now go to your in-law's house and cry and beg, maybe you can live in the house." Zhuangtou said and sneered: "These days, we often come over to look at this house. Nothing is lost here.”

"Then why are all my daughter's jewelry and clothing materials missing?" Aunt Liu's words made the neighbor laugh: "Don't you know yet? Your daughter is getting married, and the date is scheduled for February [-]th. There are only a few days. ”

"My daughter is getting married, why didn't I know?" Aunt Liu really wanted to catch her neighbor and ask her carefully. Zhuangtou smiled again: "You promised yourself a marriage, and you killed someone for it. Now you say you don't know about it?"

"So, are you still marrying the Liu family?" Everyone laughed when Aunt Liu asked this question. The neighbors and the village head just laughed and said nothing. Aunt Liu thought about it again and said: "Then my daughter will use those jewelry and clothing materials." Did you take her as a dowry? She is going to be married, so she should be here."

"Who is waiting to be married here? I will tell you where she is. She is living with Madam Kuang at the moment." Zhuangtou wanted to take away the house as soon as possible, so he was naturally willing to tell Madam Liu where Liu Lanhua was.

Madam Kwong's side? Aunt Liu couldn't help but cursed: "You have climbed up a high branch. You thought you could escape from my hands." After saying that, Aunt Liu was about to leave, but the head of the village had already stopped her: "You should take care of your things yourself." Clean up, we are going to clean up the house."
