Chapter 135 Catching Fire

 Zhang Xiaohua dodged while crying and begging for mercy: "I do know her. But she is very good at foxy kung fu, and now that she has a backer, I don't dare to offend her easily."

"My mother...my mother was dissatisfied with her behavior, so she sent her to prison and killed her alive!"

"Madam, I even suspect that she was responsible for the master's murder and imprisonment." Zhang Xiaohua tried to transfer Luo Miao's anger to Xia Qianqian.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, "Pa!"

Luo Miao slapped her again, "Bitch, I have never objected to my taking you as my concubine, but you, an unlucky bitch, have brought this misfortune to me."

Miao slapped and scratched her again and again. After a while, Zhang Xiaohua's hair was disheveled, her face was discolored, and even her slender waist, which she always thought was enchanting, was almost damaged.

After Luo Miao vented her frustration, she sat at the table with the other concubines and began to enjoy the food.

Someone couldn't bear it and reminded her, "Madam, she also stood with us for a day, cried for a day, and was hungry for a day, but let her eat a little."

"Eat what you want." Luo Miao was dissatisfied and said coldly: "It's just a bitch concubine, so what if I die."

The man said cautiously: "Madam, after all, she is the most familiar with Fu'an Village and other places in Jiangcheng. In order to save the master, we cannot let her die at this time."

Luo Miao thought for a while, then grabbed a bun and threw it on the ground, scolding: "If you weren't so useful, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to chop you alive."

Zhang Xiaohua slowly crawled over and picked up the buns on the ground. She didn't mind how dirty they were and just put them in her mouth.

"Bah!" Ms. Luo Miao spat, "A girl from a peasant family simply cannot stand on the stage."

The buns in Zhang Xiaohua's mouth were tasteless, but tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

The sky outside the window was dark, but her eyes were darker and colder than the sky.

She finished the buns silently, with food in her stomach, and her mind became more active, "Madam, that mountain girl bumped into you, is this the end of the matter?"

These words have a strong meaning of sowing discord. Luo Miao is not a fool and lets others act as a weapon.

Putting the chopsticks in her hand on the table, she stared at Zhang Xiaohua with fire in her eyes, "Is this the pillow wind you blow in the master's ear on weekdays?"

Zhang Xiaohua was afraid of being beaten, so she shrunk and denied repeatedly, "I am a fair man, and when I have to give up, I don't want Master Cao to be in trouble, so I personally take action. I just want to destroy that girl's prestige. Who knows... ”

"Madam, Jiangcheng is remote and poor. Although the merchant status is low, he has plenty of money. Mr. Cao will inevitably bow his head in order to do things well. This is really unfair to my husband."

"No wonder Cao Ran doesn't want to see us!"

Miao was very angry, thinking that she had knelt and cried for a whole day in front of the General's Mansion, but did not see Cao Ran. She couldn't help but feel grievance and resentment.

"How arrogant can a humble girl be without the protection of others?"

Miao's anger was easily aroused, "Tomorrow we will continue to go to the General's Mansion. If Mr. Cao still doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, I will go to Beijing to file a complaint."

Luo Miao has a domineering temperament and has capital.

Her natal father was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy when he was an official in the court. Although he is old now and has returned to his hometown to cultivate, he has many disciples, which will give him some face.

And her biological brother, who has had a prosperous official career in the past two years, was appointed by the emperor as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is responsible for presiding over various cases. He is a senior official of the third rank.

She comes from a good family and is good-looking, so she doesn't look down on a loser like Luo Hong.

Who told her that year when she was boating on the lake, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the soldier Luo Hong.

In public, the two of them were skin-to-skin, chatting away, and out of love, they had no choice but to commit themselves to marriage.

Luo Hong was obedient and doting on her at first, but she gradually accepted the reality and was willing to grow old with him.

Unexpectedly, after three years of marriage, she had nothing to do and was even diagnosed by a doctor as being infertile. She was so disheartened that she had no choice but to acquiesce to Luo Hong's behavior of keeping concubines outside.

In order to please him, they even found an excuse to transfer him from a small soldier to Jiangcheng to become the captain of the guard.

He will be transferred back to the capital after his one-year term of office expires.

At that time, I asked my brother to arrange an official position for him in Dali Temple.

He has become decent, and so has the whole family.

Unexpectedly, just three months after he arrived, he got into trouble and was sent to prison.

The more Miao thought about it, the angrier she became. She waved her hand to summon someone and said, "Tomorrow, go find out about Mr. Mo and we will make a decision."

"Yes!"

"..."

On the road to Fu'an Village, Geng Zhong raised his whip and drove him. In less than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Xia family.

Under the dim light at the door, Li Yunniang opened the door and stepped forward happily. She looked at Geng Zhong with eyes full of love and said, "Guard Geng, thank you for sending my Qianqian home. I have prepared some hand-rolled noodles. Why don't you come to the courtyard?"

Eat a bowl before leaving."

There are differences between men and women. It is too dark and it would be inappropriate to greet a man into the house.

However, it is okay to open the door and eat in the courtyard.

If this were said on a normal day, Geng Zhongding would stay and have a delicious meal without hesitation.

But when she thought of what Xia Qianqian said today, the love in Li Yunniang's eyes instantly turned into the mother-in-law's scrutiny of her son-in-law.

The hair on Geng Zhong’s body stood on end and he felt uncomfortable.

He turned around, jumped onto the shaft of the car like a monkey, waved his hands repeatedly, "You're welcome, madam, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

The horse whip cracked a few times, and the carriage sped away.

Li Yunniang stood on the same spot, but before she could react, she asked, "What happened to him today?"

Xia Qianqian dragged her mother into the house, "Isn't he in a hurry?"

The two of them entered the house, closed the door and came to the side room.

Xia Qianqian unloaded the bamboo basket and opened the vegetables in the oil paper packages one by one. "Mom, the food is still hot. You and Yuan Bao eat quickly."

"Qianqian, I heard from Uncle Wang that the business at Liushu Daji is very good."

"That's right! Our tofu has been well received and many people come to buy it. The supply exceeds the demand."

"I picked two more big pots of beans today, and we continue to grind beans on weekdays."

"Mom, you are not in good health. From now on, I will do this kind of work when I am free."

"How can I rest and move around, and my health will be better."

"Sister, you brought us so many dishes again!"

"Yuanbao is here to eat. I went to see a doctor today. Others invited me to eat, so I brought them all back."

The family sat around the table and had a lively meal.

In Jiangcheng Mo Mansion, there is a big knife on the desk.

This is the physical evidence left at the scene when Luo Hong assassinated Cao Ran.

Ji Zimo looked at it coldly and ordered: "Geng Zhong, give it to Wu Zuo, check the fingerprints on it, and compare it with Luo Hong in prison."

"Yes!"

It's getting darker outside.

Ji Zimo strolled to the window and looked at Fanshan Mountain in the distance.

But the girl's aggressive and teasing voice sounded in my ears, "How can I be so kind to me and make me have unreasonable thoughts? Hmm? Are you responsible?"

Ji Zimo's eyes softened unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, the sound of porcelain falling to the floor suddenly came from the next door room, accompanied by several sharp screams.
