New widow

"Sister, what are your thoughts on teaching those children today?" Song Zhen asked with a smile. After Zhou Le left, it was Xia Yun who taught these children. Xia Yun also read some books in the back house of the Chen family. Xia Yun is good at books, and Xia Yun is good at needlework. Every morning, talking and laughing with the children, Xia Yun is much more cheerful than before.

"I'm very happy." Xia Yun said straightforwardly, expressing what he was thinking in such a straightforward way. If he was still in the Chen family, he would not be able to say it out loud.

Being a servant depends on the wishes of the masters. If the masters are happy, then the people will be happy. If the masters are not happy, then the people will also be sad, or tell jokes to make the masters happy.

As for the servants' own joys, sorrows and joys, they will not be taken to heart. Even if my mother-in-law is gone today, I can only cry secretly behind my back, wipe away my tears, cover up the tears on my face with makeup, and still go forward to serve my master happily. If the master is merciful and allows you to go home to see your parents off, it will be a great joy. If the master is not merciful, then you can only serve the master as usual without showing any sadness.

As for keeping filial piety, it is not allowed to be spoken out. In the words of Mrs. Chen, when you have the head of the house, you are the only one left. Parents, I have to take a step back. When you have a husband in the future, if the owner is merciful and allows you to come in and still serve, then the husband will also take a step back. .

When the master dies, everyone must observe filial piety. Since loyalty has been fulfilled here, there is no need to observe filial piety at home. This is the principle of the world.

Xia Yun always felt that these rules were not wrong at first, but now looking at Song Zhen, Xia Yun felt that maybe the rules in this world were wrong from the beginning, but no one knew it.

Song Zhen and Xia Yun were talking affectionately there, and Wan'er also came close to them. The three of them were talking quietly there, and a few laughs could be heard from time to time.

"Okay, I haven't told grandma what happened today, so you two should be tight-lipped." Su Qiao patted Song Zhen's hand. Song Zhen knew why Su Qiao didn't dare to tell Mrs. Wan, so Song Zhen nodded: "Of course I won't say it."

"This man is old and has too many worries." Aunt Wan's expression became sad when she thought that her daughter was getting married.

"Madam, Su Tongpan is here." Sister Song came in to deliver the message. Su Qiao couldn't help but frown, why is Su Du here? Could it be that Su Du heard that the gangsters were trying to kidnap Song Zhen and the others, so he came to greet them.

But Su Qiao still went out to greet her. Su Du seemed to be worried. Seeing Su Qiao, Su Du said to Su Qiao: "Ms. Kuang, originally there were rumors everywhere at this time. I shouldn't have come, but this matter is urgent. I I don’t care about the rumors anymore.”

Rumors abound? Su Qiao suddenly thought of Mr. Li, so Su Qiao asked softly: "Are those rumors about me and you?"

"Yes!" Su Du only answered this one word, and then Su Du said: "It turns out that I was the one who caused you trouble."

"How could Mr. Su say he was implicated?" Su Qiao asked back. Su Du looked at Su Qiao with such enthusiasm that he could hardly stop him. But Su Du still lowered his eyes: "If it weren't for Mr. Kuang..."

"That's his business and has nothing to do with you." Su Qiao interrupted Su Du, and then Su Qiao said: "That's all, I never take those rumors to heart. If you have anything to say, just say it. .”

"As for today's gangster incident, I'm afraid it has something to do with Miss Zhou's kidnapping." After all, Zhou Le is already a dead person in the eyes of outsiders. Naturally, a deceased person cannot come forward to say anything, but Su Qiao knows best. people.

Su Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "That day, the magistrate's arrest document seemed to have no effect."

There was ridicule in this sentence, and Su Du was speechless and could only say to Su Qiao: "This matter,"

"That's all!" Su Qiao waved her hand: "This matter has a lot to do with me, so I'll go to the Yamen."

"I'm not going to the Yamen." Su Du shook his head: "I'm going to discuss it."

Discuss, discuss what? Although Su Qiao didn't understand, she ordered someone to hitch the carriage and went to the city with Su Du.

Aunt Wan sent them out and couldn't help but sigh. Wan'er leaned next to Aunt Wan: "Mom, why do I feel that my cousin has encountered a lot of things?"

"So, a woman cannot marry the wrong person." Aunt Wan said this. If she marries the wrong person, she will not only lose her life, but also her children.

Aunt Wan didn't dare think about how Su Qiao lived in the Kuang family, and Su Qiao had lived like this for more than ten years. "So, mother, are you looking for a son-in-law for me?" Wan'er deliberately only spoke half of the words, but her nose was pinched by Aunt Wan: "Don't be shy, just say that he is your son-in-law right now."

"Mom!" Wan'er shouted coquettishly. Aunt Wan hugged her daughter tightly. How should she tell Wan'er these things? Wan'er is so innocent and innocent, but she will eventually get married.

Su Qiao and Su Du entered the city. Su Qiao knew the roads in the city. When she saw that they were going to the Tuiguan Yamen, she couldn't help frowning. They were supposed to go to the Magistrate's Yamen, but now they were going to the Tuiguan Yamen. Could it be that they were still going there? Is there anything you can't tell the prefect?

Su Qiao was still thinking, but the carriage had stopped. It was indeed pushing the government office. Su Du smiled at Su Qiao who got off the carriage: "Ms. Kuang, this is a last resort."

"I know." Su Qiao didn't say much, and she and Su Du walked into the official Yamen, where Zhang Qing was waiting for them. Seeing Su Qiao coming, Zhang Qing said to Su Qiao: "Ms. Kuang, here we go. I'm afraid I have to ask you to find out clearly."

"Yes, sister Zhou told me everything that happened that day." Su Qiao guessed this and smiled at Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing also smiled at Su Qiao: "Sure enough, Mrs. Kuang is a smart person, she can tell the truth, so I won't say more. These gangsters are the gangsters who were not caught that day."

That day, there was a fire in the Shangshu Mansion and Zhou Le was robbed. Although two gangsters were caught, Su Du always felt that they could not do so many things with just two gangsters. However, the prefect had closed the case and there was no news about other gangsters. , Su Du could only bury this matter in his heart.

Today, Zhang Qing arrested these people. When these people entered the yamen, they either did not say anything or shouted that they wanted to see the prefect. Zhang Qing felt something was strange, so he invited Su Du to discuss it. When Su Du heard this, he remembered As the day's events came up, Su Du didn't care much and came to ask Su Qiao to discuss it first.

When Suqiao heard Zhang Qing's words, she exclaimed: "The prefect has closed the case."

"Not only is the case closed, but the two gangsters have also been executed." Zhang Qing added, Su Qiao said with a hum, "I understand, you want to use Sister Zhou's words to deal with the prefect."
