New widow

"Why, the Duke's body is still cold. Uncle Eleven said this. Do you want to drive us all out?" These words made Su Du and Zhang Qing look at each other and quickly walked into the mourning hall.

Master Shiyi had already changed into plain clothes and stood in front of Suqiao. Suqiao was still sitting in front of the soul as before, throwing paper money into the brazier.

"Third brother and sister, the eleventh brother's suggestion is also right." Mr. Song seemed to want to mediate and persuaded.

"I don't know if this title can be passed down. At this moment, you are eager to choose an heir. If the emperor issues an edict to seize the title when the truth comes out, what will you think at that time?" Suqiao said calmly, listening to Mr. Song's words calmly. took a step back.

"When there is a funeral, there must be a filial son." Mr. Eleven still refused to give in. Su Qiao looked up at him: "The funeral of Mr. Guo is still a month away. If the truth comes out, where will the Duke's mansion go? Now that the conclusion has been reached, it won’t be too late to choose an heir by then.”

"Brother, I am also doing it for the Song family's good." Master Eleven could not talk to Su Qiao, so he could only talk to Master Song. Master Song smiled at Su Qiao: "Three younger brothers and sisters, if you are chosen at the last minute, you will inevitably panic. "

"Why are you panicking? Besides," a smile appeared on Su Qiao's lips: "The baby in Aunt Su's belly will be born in six months. After choosing an heir, everything is done with the funeral. If Aunt Su gives birth to a child, then He is a son, how can the title of Duke fall into the hands of others. At that time, the heir will have to share some of the property. "

When Su Qiao mentioned the child in Aunt Su's belly, Mr. Eleven already shouted loudly: "The child in Aunt Su's belly, is it?"

The third brother doesn’t even know. "

"Who did Uncle Eleven listen to when he said this?" Suqiao looked stern. Unexpectedly, Master Eleven told the truth in his desperation, and hurriedly added: "The third brother has so many wives and concubines, but the children are not It’s very rare, not to mention that I’m old now. Wherever I go, just...”

"The uncle brought people here today. It is a lie to worship the Duke. He wants to bully us orphans and widows and force us to recognize an heir. Come to think of it, the uncle still wants that heir to inherit the Duke's mansion and establish the Duke. Regardless of blood." Mr. Song's face turned red when Su Qiao said these words, but he still forced himself to make up for himself: "How can the third brother and sister say this? We choose an heir just to look good at the funeral. As for this title, we will naturally wait until Aunt Su gives birth to something before discussing it."

"Really?" Su Qiao clearly didn't believe Mr. Song's words. Mr. Song blushed even more fiercely. In the Song family, those who want to send an heir would not be willing to just share some of the property. Everyone wants to inherit the Duke's mansion and become a noble person in this capital from now on.

What Mr. Eleven said just now was just in line with Mr. Song's thoughts. Who knew that Suqiao would not take anything soft and hard, and kept saying that he was just waiting for the child in Aunt Su's belly to be born, so Mr. Song had no choice.

"Since the third sister-in-law keeps saying that she wants to wait for the child in Aunt Su's belly, I want to ask the third sister-in-law. Now there is a witness who accuses Aunt Su of poisoning her husband and doing such a rebellious thing. How can the third sister-in-law let her do it? Will your child inherit the Duke's mansion?" Mr. Eleven can see this clearly. Su Qiao looked at Mr. Eleven, Su, who had been listening outside.

Both Du and Zhang Qing had a look of certainty on their faces.

"I would like to ask Master Eleven, where do you work?" Su Du said loudly, and slowly walked into the mourning hall. Master Eleven had only seen Zhang Qing, but Su Du and Zhang Qing were When they came in at the same time, they knew Su Du's identity, so Master Eleven said respectfully: "Master Su, I have been doing business outside and have never held a job."

"Since Mr. Eleven has never held office and has never investigated a case, why do you say now that it was Aunt Su who poisoned the Duke?" Su Du said slowly.

Mr. Song on the side had his eyes widened: "What, third brother and sister, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"I was interrupted by Uncle Eleven before I had a chance to say anything." Su Qiao said lightly. Mr. Song had already said to Su Du: "Master Su, in this case, why don't you call Aunt Su?" Come, let’s have a good look at it.”

"That was a pregnant woman who was four months pregnant." Su Qiao said loudly, and Master Eleven had already looked at Su Qiao: "But he was also the one who poisoned the third brother."

"The Ministry of Punishment is still reliable in this trial." Mr. Song wished that the child in Aunt Su's belly would not be born. It would be okay if it was a girl, but if it was a boy, it would be impossible if the clan wanted to give birth to another heir.

"I think the Ministry of Punishment has no reason to intimidate pregnant women." Of course, Su Qiao could see what Mr. Song was thinking. Could it be said that this matter had something to do with Mr. Song, or that Mr. Song was pushing things along? Suqiao thought quickly, but she still defended Aunt Su.

"It seems that the third sister-in-law and the third brother are not

The love between husband and wife, otherwise, we would not have to protect Aunt Su at this time. Master Eleven said sadly, and Suqiao glanced at him: "If Aunt Su was unjust and lost the child in her belly, then she would really be sorry to the Duke." "

"Stop arguing." Mr. Song thought about it and said respectfully to Su Du: "Master Su, what do you think?"

"We have already asked the maid this morning. Although she kept saying she was Aunt Su, she hesitated when asked for details. There are too many doubts, and we will not arrest people without reason." Su Du already meant a lot. Understand, Mr. Song is inevitably a little disappointed, and the most disappointed is Mr. Eleven. He almost screamed: "Could it be that this matter is settled like this?"

"Uncle Eleven's words are very strange." Su Qiao interrupted Master Eleven's scream and looked at him seriously: "The matter concerning the Duke of the State should be investigated carefully, and a good man should not be wronged. Why does Uncle Eleven want to make people wrongly accuse good people?"

Master Eleven was asked, and the look he looked at Su Qiao became unkind. Master Eleven originally thought that Su Qiao was a good person. The daughter of his first wife who was raised in the countryside has been married again. She has never seen anything in the world. . Who would have thought that after saying these few words, Suqiao would be difficult to handle.

"Master Su, since uncle wants to investigate, please ask Master Su to ask the maid again." Su Qiao knew that at this time, it was too late for the housekeeper to go to the maid's home to investigate, and these people in front of her, Su Qiao's instinct I feel that Su Du is more trustworthy, and the rest of the people just want to take advantage of the Duke's palace in order to gain benefits.

I heard that Su Du was asked to ask carefully.

Asked, Master Eleven's expression flashed with a stern look.
