C140 Tracing the Source of Snakes (1)

Xu Mingwei heard her meaning and immediately begged for mercy. Since the evil person was the Lady Helan, she did not need to rush to stand up, and raised her head to smile, "Your daughter-in-law also believes that there must be some misunderstanding.

Mrs Wang looked at Fu Heng a few times, she had intended to ask him to say a few words to plead for mercy, but Fu Heng simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see. Lady Wang's heart was anxious, she could only hold her old face and say to Lady Helan, "Today's case involves the children of our two families. "My dear mother, do you think that we should each take our own people to settle this matter?"

The Lady Helan laughed gently, "I had that intention too. They will do as you said, Niang Niang, and each of them will take care of their own matters. But I see, this girl has been at home for a long time, so it's not really a solution. There were quite a few people who came and went, but who knew when their hearts would be touched again, causing them to be unhappy. "It would be better to look for her sooner rather than have many troubles and spread some bad reputation, don't you think, Niang Niang?"

Fu Ninghui became anxious and shouted, "Mother, your daughter is not willing to marry!"

This time, it was Lady Wang and Fu Heng who shouted together, "Shut up!"

Tears fell from the corners of Fu Ninghui's eyes as she looked at Xu Mingwei. I will marry! "

Lady Wang had just let out a breath of relief but just as she was about to comfort her, she heard Fu Ninghui raise her chin and say word by word while staring at Heng Ge'er, "If you want me to marry someone, that's fine. But I have another condition: I'm only willing to marry Qin Jianrui. No matter how much you force me, there's nothing left and right that's not death.

The handkerchief in Xu Mingwei's hand tensed up. She really dared to mention it. She clearly knew that Qin Jianrui was someone that Lian Qiubai had taken a fancy to … He clearly knew that Lian Qiubai was going to ask Lady Wang for help …

But how could she speak up for Lian Qiubai in front of so many people? In Tianqi, a woman already had a lover before marriage. Moreover, even if she said it out loud, under Fu Ninghui's coercion, how could her own blood sister and her cousin be treated lightly? What kind of choice would Fu Heng make, Xu Mingwei could imagine without even needing to think.

Sure enough, Fu Heng only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Big brother promised you, you can prepare your own embroidery wedding dress."

A single strike that could not be changed. Xu Mingwei finally understood why Fu Ninghui had been calm and looked so confident from the start. So it turned out that this was the only conclusion she had come up with after all this time! She had already made up her mind long ago. If he angered her, she would make everyone unhappy!

How did she become like this? Xu Mingwei really couldn't understand.

In a daze, Lady Wang had already arranged for their punishments to be settled. Ying Yue was fed aphrodisiac and sent to the manor to do hard labour, while Fu Ninghui was punished into confinement until the wedding day, when she was not summoned by the elders, and was not allowed to take a single step out of her room.

Xu Mingwei felt a chill in her heart. Fu Ninghui had committed a grave mistake, but she had only lost a bit of freedom.

"As for Xu Tiandi, you can bring him back as well. I'll take care of him myself." It was unknown whether it was because Lady Wang was truly tired, or because she wanted to avoid the Lady Helan's investigation, but she supported her forehead and said tiredly.

Lady Helan was too lazy to care anymore. She was, after all, her own daughter. Being able to rush out to get married was already the best outcome, and it would save her the trouble of making a fool of herself at home with Wei'er. With Lady Wang's character, forcing her to kill her daughter was absolutely impossible. Moreover, Wei'er was still a daughter-in-law of the Fu family after all, and she had forced Fu Ninghui into a corner. Now, even Lady Wang and Fu Heng felt guilty. They felt that they were letting down their family, Wei'er, and it might even be a good thing.

Thus, he happily agreed.

After messing around for six days, the formation was finally settled.

Lady Helan brought people home, and pushed Xu Tiandi in front of Xu Tiangang. Before he could explain it clearly, Xu Tiandi was frightened to the point of spasming, his eyes rolling as he fainted. Xu Tiangang thought that she was faking it and went over to check her neck. She was scared to death.

The Lady Helan had someone burn Xu Tiandi's body and gave him half a box of ashes.

The matter with Xu Tiandi had been resolved, but not with the help of Xu Tianshi.

Xu Tiangang had never taken a liking to this meek bastard. He only thought that he was weak and honest, but didn't expect that his heart would be so vicious. He almost called the two of them to harm his daughter. This time, there was no need for Lady Helan to start a fire, Xu Tiangang looked at the proof sent by Old Lai's family, there were no more suspicions, he pulled Xu Tianshong to the Ancestral Temple and beat him up thirty times, locking him up in the room, not allowing anyone to see. But to keep him hungry and in pain for four days would be the end of his career. If he couldn't endure it, then it meant that his fate wasn't good, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Perhaps Xu Tianyun was truly unlucky.

No matter how Aunt Xiang kowtowed and begged, Xu Tiangang still refused with a cold face. Xu Tiangong, who was left alone in the dark room, was shocked and frightened. With the weather gradually getting hot and the wound collapsing, it was only on the fourth day that the door was opened.

Lady Helan had invited a doctor to visit once, but he just shook his head and left.

When Xu Tiangang heard the news that Xu Tianlong had disappeared, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he ordered the Lady Helan to burn the person as well, so he could bring a bone box over to his aunt.

The rules of the Tianqi was that for those who died from grievance, they would become evil spirits that disturbed others. They could not be buried with their bodies, so they could only burn them to burn an incense.

Xu Tianyi's bone box was sent to Aunt Xiang's room on the third day. Gradually, the seductive and vulgar Aunt Xiang no longer had the seductive aroma on her body, and her speech and actions started to become crazed. Xu Tiangang could not hold it in anymore, and ordered the Lady Helan to tie him up and send him to the manor to lock him up.

At this point, the Xu family finally did not have any trace of the Aunt Xiang. The new servants would occasionally hear the old man talk about it. In the past, a seductive demon had lived in that courtyard in the western corner, but after a good night's time, he had died of illness.

Of course, this was all in the future.

On the other hand, after Xu Mingwei followed Fu Heng out of the Wang Courtyard, Fu Heng's face darkened, ignoring everyone else, she went into the courtyard and locked herself in her study.

Wan Rong was a little worried, and asked: "I am not in a good mood, should grandmother go and advise a little?"

Xu Mingwei thought, only someone who was there would be called stupid. The other party clearly wanted him to be alone for a while, but he had to see a man's mood. He didn't want to be involved in this sort of thing.

"Ask fructus spleenae fructus to send a pot of tea to this grandpa after an hour. You don't need to worry about the people beside you." Xu Mingwei said, suddenly she remembered another case and asked, "Is it time for you guys to soak in the water in front of us?"

Wan Rong thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Today just happens to be the twentieth day. I originally thought that the weather isn't really hot yet, so I'll have to wait for another two days."

Xu Mingwei shook her head, and said, "There is no need to delay any longer, just call the people to change the water for the rice. "Go and see if Old Lai's family has returned. If they are, tell her to come over to me."

Wan Rong accepted the order, and after a while, she brought some people back, and laughed: "Grandma, it's a coincidence, just as I left the house, I bumped into you in the courtyard. "Then you and my aunt talked first, and I went to get up the crock."

Xu Mingwei nodded and let her go. Looking at Aunt Lai who was standing below, she smiled and said, "This matter is all thanks to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know where to start."

Old Lai's family did not dare to be greedy, and said respectfully, "It was all because of grandmother's overpraise, and not all of this was due to this old servant. "If it wasn't under the title of 'Madam', the old servant's wife wouldn't have such a way to take care of Grandmother's worries."

Xu Mingwei was curious, and asked: "Why do you say that?"

The Old Man of the Lai Clan recounted the events that had transpired.

"The couple in the old servant's house were originally here to collect debts from the madam's bank. Because of the trouble they caused a few years ago, they should have been kicked out of the bank. The Madam was righteous and gave him a chance to live. In the past few years, she had been driving the carriage for the old shopkeeper, so he could barely make a living. Although he said he was driving the carriage, he was actually the bandit leader of the bank. He paid attention to what was going on on on the surface and secretly reported to the madame, so as to prevent his own people from playing tricks on him. I shouldn't have told you this, but Madame told me that if you ask, I will tell you what I can. "Because of this job, the old servant's wife had formed quite a lot of connections in the capital. She even managed to build good relations with some of the best of the best."

"Now that you've done this, this old servant knows that there are articles to be done here. As expected, the old servant told his family about the snake's appearance and how his wife came to the home of the escort. Half a month ago, there were two baskets full of snakes. All of them came from the south. There were some that had green flowers, but there were also others that had the end of the line. This old servant only found out after this matter. So there are people who use snakes as medicine in this world. "

"This is getting far again. Please don't blame me, I will go on. One of the snakes was not from the medicine shop. The person buying the snake looked like a steward with a mole at the corner of his eye. The appearance was also easy to recognize. Only then would the snake seller remember. Originally, he had thought that it was the son of a rich family who coveted freshness and bought a snake to fight with. He had even advised him to wait a few more days before a new product with a flat neck came. That Chief Steward An was unwilling. After paying three taels of silver, he sneaked away with the snake and the basket. "
