New widow

Wan Dequan sighed softly and told everything he had learned. After hearing this, Su Qiao smiled slightly: "I understand, thank you uncle."

Su Qiao made such an understatement, Wan Dequan became more and more worried: "This is not a trivial matter, Qiao'er, in my heart..."

"I know my uncle loves me." Su Qiao only said this, and Wan Dequan almost burst into tears: "You are my sister's only child, how can I not love you."

"But I also want to say, my uncle will help with this matter..." Before Su Qiao could finish her words, she was hit hard by Aunt Wan. Aunt Wan treated Su Qiao with kindness, but now she hit her hard. Su Qiao was shocked, and Su Qiao couldn't help but froze there, and then Su Qiao said: "Auntie feels that I said the wrong thing."

"You kid, everything is fine, but you have to bear everything on your own. Obviously we are a family. If something happens, if you tell us, we will do what we can to help. But as for you, you are worried that it will hurt us. , No matter what, they won’t let us help.” Aunt Wan complained, Su Qiao had already reached out and patted Aunt Wan’s hand: “I know my aunt is very kind to me, but father... Mr. Kuang, he wants me. His life. And he is an official of the imperial court at this time. Even if my uncle wanted to help, it would be difficult for him to do so."

"You don't understand this." Old Mrs. Wan's voice came. Aunt Wan hurriedly stood up and helped Old Mrs. Wan: "Mother-in-law, didn't you say you want to take a rest? Why are you up now? .”

"If I don't get up, I don't know what you are going to do on your own initiative." The meaning of Mrs. Wan's words made Aunt Wan bow her head, and then Aunt Wan said softly: "We are also thinking about your age. If it's serious, these matters shouldn't come to you."

"Haven't you heard a sentence? There is an old man in the family, like a treasure. Although I am old, I am not old and confused. My granddaughter encounters such a big thing, and I still pretend to be deaf and dumb. Then who am I? What?" Old Mrs. Wan's words made Wan Dequan squat down in front of her: "Mom, my son is no longer a child now, he can already do these things."

"I know." Old Mrs. Wan said the same thing, but she still looked at Suqiao: "You are a girl. Even though your mother grew up in front of us, we will not tell her many things. Don't That’s all, I’m afraid those high-ranking officials don’t know as well as your grandfather about the matters in the yamen.”

Ever since they reunited, Mrs. Wan always complained when she mentioned her grandfather. This was a rare occasion when she didn't complain. So Suqiao smiled: "What you mean is that you want uncle to go to the Yamen to find a solution."

"Yes, in a yamen, it is said that the person who calls the shots is the Tang Shangguan, but the Tang Shangguan doesn't know many things, let alone know that if they want to do something, they can hide it." Old Mrs. Wan finished speaking. He sighed and said, "I know you are very capable. You can write to the capital, the British government, or any other government for help. But water from a distance cannot quench your thirst. If he wants to take advantage of you, he will do it as quickly as possible." It will take a month to write a letter to the capital and come back again. By then, I'm afraid I'll have to be your first wife."

Suqiao's eyes were a little sour. She wanted to hold back the tears, but she couldn't hold back the tears. Mrs. Wan had already reached out to wipe away the tears for her granddaughter: "Don't cry, I know you can do it. You have helped us so much." If there are more, then you can see that your grandmother is not such an old lady who only knows how to eat and sleep."

"And me." Wan Dequan also said with a smile: "I am not a person who only knows how to do business."

Aunt Wan had already stretched out her hand to give Wan Dequan a slap: "I haven't even called you fat yet, and you're already out of breath."

"I'm not trying to reassure my niece." Wan Dequan also said with a smile. Wan'er also wiped away the tears that she didn't know when she fell, and said to Wan Dequan: "Dad is right. As a family, if we think in one place and work hard in one place, we are not afraid of anything."

"You girl, how can you be so clever with your mouth right now?"

Aunt Wan pinched her daughter's face, and Wan'er simply leaned into Aunt Wan's arms: "Mom, don't forget, I have grown up."

Yes, children will always grow up, and they will always fly to high places that they cannot see. They will always be worried about them, but they must let them go with peace of mind.

Aunt Wan was filled with emotion, and Wan Dequan already smiled: "Yes, I have grown up, and the Han family came to ask in person again today. I thought about it, that child is still honest, and the business of the herbal medicine shop is also good. It’s a good match for our daughter.”

"Why do you always talk about my marriage?" Wan'er muttered, and Aunt Wan patted her: "This man is going to get married, and this girl is going to get married. You have to get married yourself."

"Herbal medicine shop, can you tell me what kind of poison Mrs. Chu was poisoned with?" Suqiao asked thoughtfully, Wan Dequan nodded: "I have already asked, and he said that there is no poison that has no color or taste. Yes, so a lot of poisons are mixed into wine or medicine to cover up the smell."

In medicine, or in wine. Mrs. Chu was in good health before her death. She had never heard of seeking medical treatment. Even if the medicine was mixed with wine, not many people could make Mrs. Chu drink.

Suqiao couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid, this matter is a thief's cry to catch a thief."

The thief shouted to catch the thief, and that thief was naturally the magistrate of Chu County. Mrs. Chu is gone, and the magistrate of Chu is more happy than sad. He can remarry his wife, take a beautiful concubine, and take him to his post. No one will talk about his original mother-in-law's family anymore. As for the children in the front room, there are also people to take care of them.

"Most men in the world are unlucky." Su Qiao said with emotion.

"Yes, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!" Wan Dequan was also there to analyze. Killing two birds with one stone, without Mrs. Chu and putting the blame on Su Qiao, Master Kuang can also use this to force Su Qiao to commit suicide. Now that Suqiao is dead, Mr. Kuang will have no worries. No one will remind him that he once married a wife with a low background, and no one will remind him that he cheated into marrying Mr. Li.

All the benefits were taken by them, but all the blame was borne by Su Qiao. Mr. Kuang could even turn a blind eye in the name of being ashamed of raising such a daughter. What a good plan. If it hadn't involved Su Qiao, Wan Dequan would have praised this plan. It was really a vicious plan thought up by someone who has been in the government for a long time.

"Madam, the prefect's wife is here." Sister Song announced from outside. Su Qiao stood up. How come it was the prefect's wife who came instead of someone else?
