New widow

"Madam, Madam!" Aunt Zhou's cry came, and then Aunt Zhou ran in and knelt down to Suqiao: "Madam, I won't leave, I won't leave."

"Aunt Zhou, I know that you were bewitched by others to do all these things. I thought that in your family, you couldn't help but do these things, so I asked your mother's family to take you back, and I have also said that the things in your room and the maids who serve you will go with you. When your family comes to take you back, I will talk to them and ask them to treat you well."

Seeing Aunt Zhou crying like this, Su Qiao sighed in her heart, but since this was a play, Su Qiao had to continue singing. When Su Qiao said something, Aunt Zhou cried even louder. By the time Su Qiao finished speaking, Aunt Zhou could not help herself from crying: "Madam, I have served the Duke for seven or eight years. From the time I was young in [-] to now, I have long been I have declined, and my wife asked me to return to my parents’ home and marry someone else, which is forcing me to die.”

"Third sister-in-law, God has the virtue of a good life. Look, why don't you stay?" Seeing Aunt Zhou crying like this, Mrs. Eleven also advised her. Su Qiao only sighed: "You don't know what she did."

"Madam, I didn't do this. I really don't know anything about the death of the Duke." Aunt Zhou was very frightened and kowtowed to Suqiao repeatedly.

"A stay-at-home woman has her own ways to be jealous, but if she can interfere with the Duke's affairs, Sister-in-law, did you check wrongly?" Mrs. Eleven's heart was beating fast, but she was still there. Advise Su Qiao. Suqiao raised her eyebrows: "Aunt Eleven, you have indeed been out for too long.

Okay, I don’t know how bold some people are. "

When talking about being bold, a sneer appeared on Suqiao's lips. Seeing the sneer on Suqiao's lips, Mrs. Eleven suddenly realized something, so Mrs. Eleven said softly: "It's true, that's all. That’s all, it has nothing to do with me.”

"Madam, if you really want to send me back to my parents' home, then I will have no choice but to die." After saying that, Aunt Zhou got up from the ground and wanted to hit the pillar, but Mrs. Huang had already stared at Aunt Zhou. Seeing that Aunt Zhou was about to hit the pillar, the two women stood in front of the pillar, and Aunt Zhou only bumped into the two women.

Aunt Zhou failed to hit her, so she fell to the ground and murmured: "Madam, I did nothing wrong, I won't leave."

"Yeah, you thought it was normal to be jealous, but you didn't expect that someone took advantage of you people's jealousy, and not only killed the Duke, but also caused Aunt Su to have a miscarriage. And when the incident happened, this person would be able to survive the whole body Retreat." Suqiao stared at Aunt Zhou and said calmly.

"Who, who, who wants to harm us like this?" After hearing Su Qiao's words, Aunt Zhou no longer wanted to die, but just asked loudly.

Su Qiao sighed softly: "Who knows, but with such a person here, this Duke's mansion is destined to be unrest." Aunt Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears again, Su Qiao said to the two women: "Take Aunt Zhou away Send her down and serve her well these few days, and after the funeral of the Duke, she will be taken back with her family."

The ladies hurriedly responded and led Aunt Zhou down. Although Aunt Zhou was far away from the mourning hall, they could still hear Aunt Zhou shouting that she would not leave.

Ten

The first wife couldn't keep the smile on her face at this moment, so she could only try to keep calm to Su Qiao: "How could something like this happen to us in this family?"

"You will always encounter various things." Su Qiao said lightly. Mrs. Eleven couldn't wait to ask: "Then, who is the person behind it? Can we find out?"

"The Ministry of Punishment only found out that the two aunts had nothing to do with the death of the Duke. As for the person behind it, they have already made a rough guess." Suqiao's words sounded half-assed to Mrs. Eleven's ears. It was half true, so she stood up and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."

"I'll see you off." Mrs. Song Wu stood up and went to see off Mrs. Eleven. Madam Huang waited for Mrs. Eleven to leave before saying to Su Qiao: "Madam, this is too risky."

"But, you can always wait for the result. I am so disgusted with living such a life." Suqiao's words made Madam Huang look at her, not knowing what to say.

"Sometimes I envy these men." Suqiao didn't know who she was talking to.

"They can go out and see the world outside. They can study, take imperial examinations, be officials, and do business. But women can only be trapped in this square courtyard, waiting for the man to return."

Madam Huang had mixed feelings in her heart and didn't know what to say. Suqiao's tone had become very calm: "So every time I see those men who don't seek to make progress, I feel that since heaven and earth gave birth to them as men, why don't they Seek improvement. This time, I am also thinking, why should a man use these methods when he can obviously use other methods to obtain glory and wealth?"

"

Madam, is it for..." Mrs. Huang choked in her throat, but she still wanted to ask. Suqiao smiled again: "I'm not doing it for anything, I just think it's unfair, but there are always people who tell me that this is thousands of dollars. Rules passed down from our ancestors over the years. "

A tear fell, Su Qiao gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, looked outside, and said in a calm tone: "So I'm tired of all this. I want to catch the person behind it quickly, so that I can feel better."

"What happens after we are caught? Madam, the Duke's mansion is very big and there are many people." Madam Huang's words originally meant stability, but in Suqiao's ears it meant something else, so Suqiao said softly: " Yeah, it’s big, there are a lot of people, why can’t I…”

Why can't you leave? Instead of being trapped in this palace and being the wife of the Duke, if Suqiao had never seen spring flowers blooming, never seen winter snow, and never tasted the taste of love, then Suqiao would still be willing to stay here. of. Such a life of glory and wealth.

However, when you are only 19 years old, you have to be trapped here, just like a clay or wooden sculpture. Waiting until your hair turns white, receiving praise from the court, waiting until you die, and being buried with a man you have only met once, and receiving incense from his family. It is really...

"Madam!" Madam Huang called out softly when she saw Suqiao was stunned. Suqiao came back to her senses: "The most important thing is the matter in front of you. As for other matters, let's wait until later."

"Yes!" Madam Huang replied softly, Su Qiao restrained her mind, when will this day end?

Mrs. Eleven left the Duke's Mansion in a hurry and returned home to see Mr. Eleven still drinking tea there. Mrs. Eleven stepped forward and said

He took the tea bowl off his hand and said, "Why are you still drinking tea here?"
