Mrs. Xu San saw that the girl in front of her had clear eyes and had no intention of hiding anything.
Xu Qinghuan said: "When I saw the sachet on my brother's body, I knew there must be something fishy about it. Sister Ruzhen's temperament is such that she would never take the initiative to give anything to my brother. Even if my brother took it for granted, Sister Ruzhen would not I would embroider an identical one and wear it on my body. It was not easy to find out this matter, so I took it upon myself to tie up my brother and prepare to ask him clearly.
She was also afraid that something would go wrong, so she specifically asked Zijuan to find an excuse to stay at Cao's house and take care of Sister Ruzhen, especially for the past two days, so that Sister Ruzhen would not be left alone. She hoped that before finding out the whole story, both of them would Don't make any mistakes. Zijuan has no other choice but to embroider the longevity picture I gave to Mrs. Cao. I asked Sister Ruzhen to help repair it. In this way, Sister Ruzhen will have to be there for at least two days. The old lady is sewing in her house."
Mrs. Xu San didn't believe it: "You said it too easily."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Whenever something happens, there must be signs, especially if something like this appears out of thin air. As long as it causes disaster, it will be a big deal.
Precisely because I haven't figured out the whole story yet, I thought that as long as my brother and sister Ruzhen were fine, I would have time to unravel the cocoon bit by bit, but who knew I wasn't given such an opportunity."
What Qing Huan said was not false at all.
She was reborn just at this time, and she didn't have much time to make arrangements, let alone realize any subtle changes.
All she could do was to keep her brother under her nose and send people to the Cao family to take care of Cao Ruzhen.
In desperation, she thought of this method.
Unexpectedly, things went wrong at this time.
In her previous life, she had always believed that Mr. Cao and his wife were the masterminds of framing her brother.
In order to "justify" Cao Ruzhen, Mr. Cao and his wife did not hesitate to go against the Anyi Marquis Mansion and took the lawsuit to Beijing.
Mr. Cao, a minister who was not afraid of power and was unyielding, naturally wanted to be reused by the court, so after his father was imprisoned, Mr. Cao was promoted to the position of supervisory censor.
The most important thing is that they got the support of the Zhang family, secretly and openly, and Cao Ruwan married Zhang He. Although she died early in childbirth, she really paved a road to wealth and prosperity for the Cao family.
She had secretly vowed to make the supervisory censor tell the truth about that year, but it was a pity that before she could interrogate him, Mr. Cao and his wife were already dead.
Now she finally got the answer. At least Mr. Cao and his wife were not the masterminds in kidnapping Cao Ruzhen.
This is not to say that Mr. Cao and his wife are evil, but the current situation is not worth the price Mr. Cao has to pay, not to mention how Ruwan would get married to the Zhang family without Ruwan.
Mrs. Xu San thought carefully: "Since Ruzhen has been replaced by Ruwan, Ruzhen's sachet in the hands of the prince cannot be used as evidence, so there is that letter, so that the court can find out who the prince is. Only those who were in the Cao family at the time could have discovered the error and rectified it in such a short period of time."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "That's all I can think of."
Mrs. Xu San looked at the embroidered shoes on the table again: "Miss, give me these shoes. I will go to Cao's house now."
Looking at the back of Mrs. Xu San's departure, Xu Qinghuan looked at Xu Qing'an: "Brother, get ready. When Mrs. Xu leaves, we will also go out."
Xu Qingan said: "Tonight?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Brother went to Fengxiang County Magistrate Sun Chong and told him that tonight was the best time to catch the murderer. Don't miss it."
…
Mrs. Xu San walked all the way back to her nunnery and knelt in front of the Buddha as if nothing had happened. She looked at the Bodhisattva who lowered his eyes and raised the corners of her mouth with a smile.
Mother Cheng next to her immediately stepped forward: "Third Mrs., do you really want to go back to Cao's house?"
Mrs. Xu San narrowed her eyes: "Why not?"
Mother Cheng said: "Miss Xu obviously wants to use you to open the door of the Cao family..."
"I know," Mrs. Xu San suddenly smiled, "No one knows better than me whether this family is human or ghost. Even if Miss Xu doesn't come to me, I will find her sooner or later. Everyone knows what happened back then.
You should pay the due price, including the Anyi Hou Mansion...the same is true."
Mrs. Xu San stood up with the help of Cheng's mother. Just as the master and servant were about to go out, they heard a rush of footsteps and Master Xu San appeared in front of the door, leaning on a cane and panting.
Looking at his expressionless wife, he lowered his voice: "What are you going to do?"
Mrs. Xu San's voice was cold: "After all these years of marriage, I have never returned to my parents' home. If such a big thing happened at home, I should go back and take a look."
"That's not what you are..." Mr. Xu San's face was full of sadness, "You still refuse to let go of those past things."
Mrs. Xu San raised her head, with tears in her eyes: "Do I have to be like you, pretending that none of those things happened, just to survive? When you married me, I thought we were all the same.
People who are suffering the same fate will eventually avenge the person next to them, but who would have thought that you are a coward."
Mr. Xu San's lips trembled: "You clearly thought about it a few days ago, but you still... said you were grateful to me for rescuing you from the abyss."
Mrs. Xu San sneered: "That's your wishful thinking. You should have known that I will never forget him in my life, let alone those hatreds."
…
Mrs. Xu Er had a dream.
Mr. Xu Er finally ascended the throne, and she also wore the clothes of a concubine. The dignitaries came to congratulate her, and the home was a scene of wealth and prosperity.
Mrs. Xu, Xu Changxing and his wife, and Xu Qing'an all knelt at her feet and begged for mercy.
She stepped forward and stepped on Xu Changxing's face hard, and all her years of resentment would be released at this moment.
Why did the title fall on them? She didn't accept it, and she insisted on competing with them.
But in the blink of an eye, Xu Qinghuan stood in front of her.
She was about to tell her servants to pull Xu Qinghuan down, but the parrot in Xu Qinghuan's arms raised its head. The beast's bright black eyes looked at her, and then suddenly flew up and pecked at her with its pointed beak.
"ah……"
Mrs. Xu Er yelled and woke up with cold sweat on her forehead.
"Second Madam," the mother in charge said from the side, "something happened, I'm afraid you have to get up and go take a look."
Mrs. Xu Er came to her senses and found that the mother in charge looked livid.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Xu Er frowned.
The mother in charge said hurriedly: "The Yamen brought people to investigate our village, saying they wanted to catch the murderer."
"What?" Mrs. Xu Er lifted the quilt and stood up, "Who asked them to do this? They dared to do it without any evidence. Are they crazy? Where is the master? Where is the master?"
The steward’s mother said: “I have already gone to the village to check.”
"Don't worry, I'm still dealing with it from the front. I told you that we at Zhuangzi are very strict on weekdays and we're not afraid of them going to investigate."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu Er was able to breathe again: "I want to sue them for unjustly accusing us like this without any evidence."
The mother in charge didn't dare to hide it: "Yes... I heard that the Cao family came forward to ask the government to check."
"What?" Mrs. Xu Er's eyes widened.
"Mother, mother," Xu Qingshu walked in quickly, "did you know? Uncle and the others are crazy. They actually believed what the third aunt said, saying that we were the ones who killed cousin Ruwan."
is her.
Mrs. Xu Er's heart seemed to be pulled to her throat, and it was her.
