The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Joke

 “Sir, Miss Xiaoyu, something's wrong, something happened!”

Gu Huayu turned around and saw Fugui hurried over with a panicked look on his face. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter? I asked you to find me here."

Fugui leaned over and said, "Something happened at Rouge Shop. Shopkeeper Wang and Miss Cheng Jiao were taken away by the Yamen."

Gu Huayu's heart sank and she asked, "What's going on? Why did the people from the Yamen take them away?"

"It is said that there is something wrong with the fragrant lotion we sell. The maid next to County Magistrate Chen's concubine used our fragrant lotion. First she got a rash on her body, and after half an hour, she died." Fugui lowered his hands and reported.

 “Is the person dead?” Gu Defang asked in panic.

Fugui leaned back and said, "That's what it says. As for whether this is the reason, I don't know. The shopkeeper has already asked someone to investigate."

Gu Defang looked at Gu Huaidong at a loss, "Dad, what should we do?"

Gu Dechang comforted him and said: "Brother, don't panic, let's go back to the city first. Brother Huang is already making inquiries. Let's ask the whole story first, and then think of something."

"Lao San, life is at stake. What can you think of?" When he heard that his daughter had been taken away, Gu Defang was already in a state of confusion.

Gu Huayu comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, the eldest sister is just helping in the shop. She is neither the owner nor the shopkeeper. Even if something happens, it won't fall on the eldest sister.

 Furthermore, in the four months since the rouge shop opened, the best-selling product is perfume. If there was a problem with perfume, something would have happened long ago, and it would not have happened four months later.

There must be something fishy in this. Let's go back to the city first and wait until we find out the whole story. "

After listening to Gu Huayu's words, Gu Huaidong felt at ease and nodded: "Xiaoyu is right, we can't mess up the situation. Go back to the city first, Lao San, if you know the people in the yamen, you can also help find out. "

Gu Dechang nodded in agreement, "Okay. Let's go back now."

Gu Huayu said: "My grandfather and uncle returned to Meiyuan, and my father and I went directly to Huangji. As soon as there was news, we immediately returned to Meiyuan to report it."

Gu Huaidong nodded and said, "Okay, come back quickly."

The people immediately returned to the city, and Gu Huayu and Gu Dechang went straight to Huang Ji.

 Huang Xiao just came back from outside. After the two parties met, shopkeeper Huang let him into the study.

Entering the study, Gu Dechang asked eagerly: "Brother Huang, how is the matter? Have you found out?"

Shopkeeper Huang motioned for Gu Dechang to sit down, "Sir, please take a seat. I'm still investigating, I'm afraid the matter is not simple."

 “What's not a simple method?” Gu Huayu frowned and asked.

Shopkeeper Huang said: "This matter involves the back house of the county magistrate's office."

"The county magistrate's back house? We sell some rouge and gouache, why are we involved in the county magistrate's back house?" Gu Dechang asked.

Shopkeeper Huang waved his hand, "Sir, don't worry, let me finish."

Gu Dechang bowed his hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm worried. Brother Huang, please tell me."

While pouring tea for Gu Dechang, shopkeeper Huang said: "I understand, sir, you are careless and confused. County Magistrate Chen, this concubine, has no background, she is just a maid in the magistrate's house.

 Years ago, she climbed into Magistrate Chen's bed, was taken into Magistrate Chen's room, and became his concubine.

Now, relying on the child in my belly, I am proud of my favor.

As you know, sir, County Magistrate Chen is over fifty, his first wife has no children, and all his concubines have daughters.

 County Magistrate Chen hopes that his concubine will have a boy in her belly and can take over the Chen family's incense. Therefore, he was very partial to this concubine and indulged her in a somewhat unprincipled way.

 The private affairs in the back houses of rich people are the most puzzling. "

Gu Dechang was speechless and asked: "So, we are in for an unreasonable disaster?"

Gu Huayu disagreed and shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Gu Dechang looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "Why did Xiaoyu say this?"

Gu Huayu said lightly: "The first wife of County Magistrate Chen has no heirs. She can allow Magistrate Chen to have concubines and have children. Either she is not a jealous person; or she is a cowardly and weak person.

If it's the former, it's all the same to her whether the county magistrate's concubine has given birth to a child, and which concubine has given birth to the child. She has no need to attack a pregnant person.

Even if this concubine's indulgent temperament makes her unhappy, she can wait for the concubine to give birth to the child, and then leave the mother to keep the child. "

Gu Dechang nodded and asked: "Is it possible that the concubine is plotting to kill Mrs. Zheng? How can I use this to get the county magistrate to divorce his wife?"

Shopkeeper Huang shook his head, "Impossible. Doting on a concubine and destroying your wife is a serious crime in Daxing. County Magistrate Chen is afraid of his wife's natal family and will not allow this to happen."

Gu Dechang asked, "Is it possible that this is a conflict between this concubine and other concubines?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "It's unlikely, County Magistrate Chen doesn't have any men.

There should be no one in the Chen Mansion's backyard who doesn't know the dignity of my concubine's belly. Who dares to risk his life to cause trouble?

 This matter can only be done by the concubine herself.

 Let's go check out my concubine's origins and see if she has anything to do with us? "

Gu Huayu quickly denied this speculation and brought the matter back to herself.

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said, "Su Min has gone to check and should be back soon."

At the same time, in the backyard of the county government office, Magistrate Chen hugged his concubine who was crying so hard that she could not make a sound. He comforted her with gentle words: "Xinghua, be good, stop crying. You cry so hard that my heart almost breaks."

Mrs. Mao on the side echoed: "Aunt Xing, please stop crying. I know your grievances and I will definitely uphold justice for you."

Magistrate Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I know all your grievances, and I will seek justice for you. I'm sorry, please stop crying!"

You are in a bad mood, and the young master in your belly is in a bad mood. If the young master is in a bad mood, he will not grow up well. do you understand? "

 After speaking, Magistrate Chen winked at Mrs. Mao.

After seeing her, Mrs. Mao hurriedly said: "Yes. Aunt Xing, please stop crying. You should think more about the young master in your belly. You shouldn't be too sad."

Aunt Xing looked at Magistrate Chen with red and swollen eyes and said aggrievedly: "Master, you must uphold justice for me. Some people want to harm my family and the children in my belly."

Magistrate Chen raised his hand to wipe his tears and coaxed softly: "Stop crying, I will definitely seek justice for you. Okay, stop crying, look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying."

Aunt Xing took the opportunity to hold Magistrate Chen's hand and asked, "Is it true? Do you mean what you say?"

Magistrate Chen squeezed Aunt Xing's hand lovingly, "You, you even doubt my words?"

Aunt Xing lowered her eyes, pouted, and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Please punish me."

Magistrate Chen held Aunt Xing in his arms and said, "You are telling lies again. How can I be willing to punish you? What you have in your belly is the son that I miss so much."

Aunt Xingjiao leaned against Magistrate Chen's chest and touched her belly, “Young Master has been very naughty today. He kicked me several times.”

 Speaking, Aunt Xing pulled Magistrate Chen's hand towards her belly.

Just as Magistrate Chen put his hand on Aunt Xing's belly, Aunt Xing's belly started to move again.

Aunt Xing said excitedly: "Master, look, the young master has said hello to you."

County Magistrate Chen felt the turbulence in his stomach, his face was full of smiles, and he said happily: "Hey, my precious son, you must be good, eat well, sleep well, and grow white and fat."

Aunt Xing's stomach moved again, and Aunt Xing said coquettishly: "Sir, my son said someone bullied his grandma, and he was very angry. My son wants the master to vent his anger on his grandma."

Magistrate Chen nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I will definitely vent my anger on your mother-in-law. My little ancestor, please treat me well."

Aunt Xing raised her arms and put her arms around Magistrate Chen's neck, kissed Magistrate Chen's face, and said coquettishly: “Master, it's the best.”

Magistrate Chen pinched Aunt Xing's face and said with a smile: “Be good to me and give birth to your son for me in peace and contentment. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you.”

Aunt Xing nodded obediently, "Okay, Xing'er listen to the master!"

Magistrate Chen patted Aunt Xing on the shoulder and said, "Well, that's how you behave!"

Aunt Xing leaned on Magistrate Chen's chest, remained silent for a moment, and said softly: "Master, please take the life of Gu Chengjiao from the Xinxin Rouge Shop, one life for another."

Magistrate Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Aunt Xing and asked, "Tell me, what exactly is Gu Chengjiao's feud with you? Don't play tricks on me, tell me the truth."

Aunt Xing raised her head to look at Magistrate Chen. When she met Magistrate Chen's cold gaze, she lowered her head to avoid it, but Magistrate Chen pinched her chin with his hand. “Don't hide, look at me and tell me, tell the truth, don't lie.”

Aunt Xing looked at the serious Magistrate Chen and became nervous. Just when she was panicking, her stomach suddenly moved, and Aunt Xing's nervous heart calmed down.

He said, "Master, Gu Chengjiao was once the sister-in-law of the slave's natal family. She was married to the slave's natal brother for several years. She had no children, and she thought the slave's natal family was poor, so she wanted to divorce her brother.

The slave brother did not agree, so she called her natal brothers to the house to make a fuss, beating the slave's father, mother, and brother to serious injuries.

The slave brother had no choice but to make peace with him. Master, my wife was severely beaten and is still lying on the bed unable to get off the ground.

Sir, even though my mother-in-law bought me out, it was because the family was too poor and she had no other choice.

Aniang is the mother of the slave family. When the slave family heard that Aniang was being bullied, they felt as sad as if they had been stabbed by a knife.

Master, in the play it is said that the crow knows how to nurse in return, and the lamb knows how to kneel down to breastfeed. The slave family knows that grandma is being bullied but can do nothing. How can the slave family feel at ease? "

Aunt Xing's eyes were filled with tears and sadness as she spoke.

Magistrate Chen raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said warmly: "You know what happened at home, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let me stand up for you."

"But…"

County Magistrate Chen interrupted Aunt Xing, "But what? I can't make this decision for you yet? If you had told me earlier, Ahong's life would not have been in vain. Don't be too smart in the future, remember. ?”

Aunt Xing looked at County Magistrate Chen blankly, thinking: Master, do you know how A Hong died?

Mrs. Mao looked at the dumbfounded Aunt Xing, squeezing the handkerchief in her hand, and was secretly worried for her, ancestor, thank you quickly!

Fortunately, Aunt Xing came to her senses quickly, sat upright, and bowed to County Magistrate Chen with joy on her face to express her gratitude: "I will remember this. I would like to thank you on behalf of my father, mother, and brother."

Magistrate Chen held Aunt Xing's shoulder and said gently: "Thank you. Your father and mother are also my father-in-law. If you bully my father-in-law, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"

Aunt Xing said worriedly: "But the Nu family heard that the owner of Suxin Rouge Shop is close to Huang Ji's shopkeeper."

 County Magistrate Chen squeezed Aunt Xing's hand and sneered: "You mean, I will be afraid of a merchant? What a joke.

You, relax and take good care of your baby at home. I am here so you don't have to worry about the rest. "

Aunt Xing wanted to stand up and bow to Magistrate Chen to say thank you, but Magistrate Chen stopped her. "What are you doing? I've told you so many times that since I'm pregnant, I don't need these false courtesy."

Aunt Xing followed the strength of Magistrate Chen's hand and fell into his arms, starting a new round of acting coquettishly.

 Huang Ji, Chun Tang came in and said: "Shopkeeper, honeysuckle is here."

Gu Huayu said first: "Let her in quickly."

Chuntang glanced at shopkeeper Huang, who said, "Listen to the girl."

Chuntang retreats, and honeysuckle quickly comes in.

Gu Dechang blurted out: "Zhang Xiaohua?"

Lonicera bent her knees and said, "Hello sir, the little flower is now called Lonicera."

Gu Dechang nodded and said: "Yes, a good name."

Gu Huayu looked at Lonicera and asked, "How much do you know about today's affairs? Tell me carefully."

Ling Dong lowered his hands and responded: "When the incident happened, my servant and Madam Liu happened to go to the market to buy things and were not in the shop.

 When the slave girl and Mrs. Liu came back, the shop was already in a mess.

The slave heard that Shopkeeper Wang and Sister Cheng Jiao were taken away by people from the Yamen, so the slave came over to Huang Ji. "

Gu Huayu asked: "These days, has the shop received people from the county government's house?"

 Landong shook his head, "This servant doesn't know that Shopkeeper Wang and Sister Cheng Jiao are responsible for everything in the shop.

The slave is helping in the backyard. Shopkeeper Wang calls the slave if he has something to do, and the slave goes to the shop. "

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand, you go down and take Mrs. Liu to find Chuntang and let Chuntang arrange the work for you. There is no need to go back to Suxin for the time being."

Lonicera bent her knees and retreated.

 Lonicera retreated, just in time to meet Su Min coming back.

Su Min entered the room and bowed to everyone first.

Gu Dechang hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy.

Shopkeeper Huang handed Su Min a cup of tea. Su Min took a few sips of the tea cup and said, "I found it."

Gu Dechang straightened up and asked, "What should I say? Sit down and talk."

Su Min leaned forward and said, "Thank you, sir, no need, just stay down."

The concubine of Magistrate Chen was named Han Xinghua. She was from Shatu Village, Sanhe Town. Her mother, Mao, knew a woman named Mao who lived in the courtyard of Magistrate Chen's wife, Zheng.

Five years ago, her mother sold Han Xinghua to the Chen Mansion as a maid through Mrs. Mao. Han Xinghua entered the Chen Mansion and worked as a rough maid in Mrs. Zheng's yard.

 Years ago, Han Xinghua climbed into County Magistrate Chen's bed and was later raised as an aunt. Everyone calls her Aunt Xing. "

Gu Huayu already roughly understood it when she heard about Shatu Village in Sanhe Town. He nodded and said: "It turns out to be the Han family. No wonder they want to target the eldest sister."
