New widow

Chapter 259 Ask

Suqiao smiled and said, "You will also come with me. When we get there, we will ask you questions. These silvers will naturally belong to your family."

When Mrs. Du heard the word "yin", she didn't want to, so she immediately agreed. Manager Wu's carriage was ready, Su Qiao only took Aunt Wu with her. Mrs. Du followed her and sat on the shaft of the carriage. She couldn't help but get into the carriage. There he praised: "This carriage is better than the Wang family's at first glance."

"Are you familiar with the Wang family?" Aunt Wu also asked with a smile. If Mrs. Du wanted to brag, she would naturally brag about Mrs. Du first: "Actually, the lady in Shangshu Mansion is not just our family, if you really want to count, there are also some Gua Ge, when she sees me, she will call her aunt."

Although Mrs. Du comes from a good family, her family is an ordinary family. Otherwise, Du's father runs a small shop, otherwise he would not have the money to raise his daughter like a flower. Even though she was as beautiful as a flower, when the matchmaker released the news that the Shangshu Mansion was going to choose a bed-warming maid, those families rushed to send their daughter to the matchmaker. The matchmaker also made a lot of choices before choosing Mrs. Du. Her appearance was second to none, but Mrs. Du's hands and feet were not big either.

When Mrs. Du gave birth to the prince's son, Du's father ascended to heaven. He received a small village with three hundred acres of land and a family from Shangshufu. He took the whole family to live in that small village and never did small business in the market. , he always regards himself as Shangshu's father-in-law when he comes in and out, never mentioning that Wang Shangshu is more than thirty years older than himself.

Naturally, Mrs. Du can only take care of her own family. For the rest of the Du family, only those who know how to flatter can get some small favors, and this Mrs. Du knows how to flatter.

Aunt Wu smiled: "So, that person

The young master is still your great-nephew. "This sentence made Mrs. Du laugh: "You can't say this to the outside world, let alone him, even that lady, I can't see it easily. "

As she spoke, Mrs. Du sighed: "I suffered a bit at first, but luckily I got some benefits."

What were the benefits of this? Mrs. Du didn't say it, and Aunt Wu didn't ask again. Suqiao sat in the carriage and listened to the conversation between the two. When they arrived at the Yamen, Mrs. Du couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you here?" Pass through the Yamen."

"Because of this matter, the prefect asked the general magistrate and the judge to handle it." Mother Wu explained there, and Mrs. Du nodded: "That's it."

While they were talking, the carriage had stopped. Mrs. Du and Nanny Wu jumped out of the carriage. Watching Manager Wu go to the Yamen to talk, Mrs. Du couldn't help but click her tongue: "If I hadn't come with my wife, I wouldn't have had such knowledge."

"What kind of knowledge is this? If we were in the capital, the officials from the yamen would come out to greet her." Mother Wu's tone was so calm that Mrs. Du almost didn't retract her tongue: "That's not the same pomp and circumstance as Mrs. Du."

Mrs. Du Mrs. Du? Aunt Wu couldn't help but sneer: "That lady can't see the Duke's wife." The concubine of Shangshu Mansion is not a person who can get on the table. When Mrs. Shangshu arrives, she will naturally greet her with courtesy. , a concubine, to be able to send a housekeeper out to meet, it is already for Wang Shangshu's sake.

Mrs. Du knew that she had said something wrong and did not dare to say any more. Soon Su Du walked out of the Yamen and came to Su Qiao: "Ms. Kuang."

The plain car curtains were not raised,

Granny Du wanted to ask why, but remembering what Grandma Wu had just said, Granny Du didn't dare to ask.

"Master Su!" Su Qiao's voice came from the carriage. Su Du seemed to be able to see Su Qiao's eyes, but Su Du held back and only said respectfully to Su Qiao: "Ms. Kuang, are you here today?"

"There are rumors outside that Butcher Chen is the real murderer. He said that day that if anyone provides clues, he will be rewarded with twenty silver coins." Su Qiao's voice was very calm. Su Du couldn't help but be stunned. This matter was indeed Liu Daniu's. If the rumors are true, then Liu Daniu should have taken the 20 taels of silver without coming to the Yamen, or even Suqiao coming in person.

Su Du was still pondering, and Su Qiao's voice came again: "Because the matter is of great importance, I came here specially and asked Mr. Su to explain it carefully."

This needs to be discussed carefully, and it cannot be said on the street. Su Du already understood that Su Qiao must have something to say, so Su Du said to Su Qiao: "In that case, please come inside and talk. .”

When she heard that she was about to enter the Yamen, Mrs. Du wanted to leave: "Well, I don't have to go in, right?"

"This matter is of great importance, so naturally I have to follow you in." Mother Wu said, pushing Mrs. Du with her hand. Mrs. Du hesitated for a moment, and then went inside.

Everyone was invited into the study. Mrs. Du couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she entered the study. Su Qiao sat down and smiled at Su Du: "So, this injury is only one?"

"There are actually three wounds!" Su Du opened his mouth and said this. When Mrs. Du heard this, her hands suddenly trembled, and she turned around and walked out: "I can't listen to such important words, so I'd better leave."

"If it's so important, then

Good thing you listened. " Suqiao signaled to Nanny Wu to stop Mrs. Du, with a smile on her face. Mrs. Du suddenly felt regretful at this moment. Why did she want to covet these 20 taels of silver? Although 20 taels of silver is a lot, if she saves one province for her family, she can still save a year. come out.

Suqiao looked at Mrs. Du's face and smiled lightly: "Why, you are scared."

"What am I afraid of? I'm not afraid of anything." Mrs. Du asked back. Su Du already understood what Su Qiao meant, so Su Du said loudly: "What you are afraid of is that what you have done will be known to others."

"What did I do?" Mrs. Du asked back. Su Du hesitated for a moment, but before she could speak, Su Qiao already smiled: "There were three wounds. Come to think of it, one of them was around the neck. This wound was naturally used by Miss Song." It was poked with a hairpin.”

This wound was only insignificant. Su Du had already nodded: "The other two wounds are both on the stomach. One wound is smaller and the other is larger. The third wound is a new wound on the first wound. One knife."

"This has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill anyone!" Mrs. Du blurted out, Suqiao looked at Mrs. Du: "Of course you didn't kill anyone, and you didn't dare to kill anyone, but you knew who the murderer was, and you even instigated your niece to do it because of this. Your niece is going to make this scene.”

Granny Du's lips opened. Su Qiao said what she said as if she had seen it with her own eyes, but Granny Du refused to admit it. If she admitted it, her family would be ruined.

Suqiao smiled again: "Sister Song saw you talking to Butcher Chen that day. What on earth were you talking about?"

"It's just a few gossips." Mrs. Du was so stubborn that she could only recognize a few gossips, and Su Qiao said:

"Just a few casual words?"
