Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Qiao Wu has been dealing with various prisoners for a long time. He has a good eye for people, but he has a bad temper.

Zhao Ping's arrogant attitude made him confused for a moment and he dared not act rashly.

But the pressure from his mother and niece, coupled with Ruan Qing's sarcasm, made him lose his patience and his evil thoughts kept surging.

No matter where they come from, on Su Lin's land, even if they are dragons they have to coil around him, and even if they are tigers they have to lie down.

His mind raced, Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows, glared, and was about to lose his temper.

But when he raised his head, he saw Master Jin, who was beside the prefect, desperately winking at him in the crowd.

Qiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and the evil words on his lips suddenly turned into:

"Madam, you are joking. There is some misunderstanding between my niece and us.

If there are misunderstandings between relatives, just talk it out. There is no need to go to court.

As for my mother, she only said those words angrily because she was upset and irritated by the younger generation who openly contradicted her in public.

There is absolutely no intention of colluding with the government or interfering with the judicial affairs of the government.

Besides, even if I, a seventh-rank prison warden, had this idea, I don’t have the ability to do it.”

"Xiao Wu, you..."

Tang obviously did not expect his son to say such words. He was very dissatisfied and subconsciously wanted to make a scene.

"Madame Yu, Juer, why don't you help the old lady inside to rest?" Qiao Wu's face darkened. He turned his eyes and gave an order to the matron and maid who were standing at the gate watching the excitement.

Nanny Yu and Ju'er were shocked and hurried forward to help Tang.

"Let me go, Xiaowu..." Tang was furious.

"Mom, you go in and rest first." Qiao Wu came over and held her shoulders with his hands, looking at her with dark eyes.

Qiao Wu had been a prison warden for many years. He was a big, strong man with very powerful hands.

He squeezed Tang's shoulder so hard that the bones were almost broken.

When she met his dark eyes that were clearly filled with warnings, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart and her mind went blank. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her mouth.

He could only be helped into the house by the nanny and maid like a puppet.

Mrs. Cai was a mean and shrewd person. Seeing that her husband looked unhappy, she dared not say anything and followed Mrs. Tang into the house dejectedly.

Ruan Qing did not say anything, but looked in the direction where Qiao Wu was looking, and happened to see the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

When the middle-aged man saw her looking at him, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he looked away without making a sound.

It was as if he hadn't noticed anything different about Ruan Qing and the others.

Interesting, he is a smart man, Ruan Qing smiled slightly.

Mr. Qiao Wu thought he had given in, and pointed out that today's farce was entirely his own family affair.

Even if Ruan Qing and his group liked to meddle in other people's affairs, they couldn't keep harping on them.

But he didn't know that the other party was determined to fight him. As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Zhang's voice rang out:

"Since Master Qiao Wu has spoken so beautifully, why don't you just speak in front of everyone and tell us who this house belongs to?

If it belongs to the little girl's siblings, as an uncle, you should return the house to them promptly. Any other excuses are just excuses.

If it's not theirs, you should explain it clearly in front of everyone so that they won't question your character, right?"

As the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice, and in front of the Empress Dowager, since he had intervened in something that was obviously unreasonable, he would handle it to the end.

The anger that Qiao Wu had suppressed with great difficulty was almost provoked to burst out again.

He glanced at Captain Zhang and his group, then looked at his master who was staring at him in the crowd, but in the end he did not dare to act willfully.

Thinking about the house deed still in my niece's hands, I couldn't deny it, so I could only say ambiguously:

“This house is the ancestral home of my Qiao family. When my father was in charge of the family, the deed to the house was in his name.

When my father divided the family property before he passed away, he did leave a message that the ownership of the house site would go to my eldest brother.

Although my mother is the second wife, she is also my eldest brother's mother according to filial piety and etiquette, and she also has the right to live in this house.

That is, she can live in this house as long as she wants during her lifetime.

Later, my eldest brother was transferred to a post outside the city. He took his wife and daughter to serve as an official in another place, leaving my mother alone in the house.

We stayed here together so that we could take care of her more conveniently.

My niece was born with a tough life. Soon after she was born, a monk who passed by told her fortune that she was doomed to be unlucky.

As long as she is alive, the relatives around her will not live long.

The best way is to send her to a temple, where she can stay with the green lamp for the rest of her life and pray for her relatives.

My eldest brother didn't believe it and was unwilling to send her away. As a result, her mother died just over a year after giving birth to her.

When she was four years old, my eldest brother married Wu, and I don’t need to say much about what happened next.

Mrs. Wu passed away again this year with my eldest brother.

This child has a very tough life. Although we are her relatives, we also have children and relatives. We cannot ignore our other relatives because of her.

When the siblings came back with the coffin, my mother and I said that after her parents were buried, her brother could stay at home and be raised by us, but she would have to go to the temple to pray for her relatives and practice as the monk had said.

But she was not happy about it and insisted that we move out of the house and that she raise my brother herself."

It's amazing that Qiao Wu, a prison warden in charge of criminal cases, has such eloquence.

After he finished speaking, many of the audience members who were obviously dissatisfied with him and his mother changed their expressions and glanced at Qiao Yun involuntarily.

If this girl is really so evil, it is no wonder that Qiao Wu and his mother and others are so cruel, because anyone would be afraid to have such a younger generation who brings bad luck to their relatives.

When the unruly and fearless Qiao Jun heard this, his eyes unconsciously turned red.

It was obvious that Qiao Wu's words had dealt her a heavy blow.

"You're talking nonsense, my sister is not doomed to fail, and the death of my father and mother has nothing to do with her.

You want to keep me at home just to steal the house deed away from me.

If you really keep me here, I won't survive more than ten days in your hands."

At this moment, a pale, thin little boy, about eight or nine years old, rushed out and hugged Qiao Jun's arm tightly.

"Aze." Qiao Jun felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but reach out and hug his younger brother.

When Qiao Wu was contradicted by his nine-year-old nephew, the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously.

He wanted to get angry, but seeing Ruan Qing and his group coming from unknown places, as well as the prefect's advisor standing in the crowd, he did not dare to act rashly.

"You two have different opinions. I think it would be better to handle this matter in court.

Apart from anything else, the house deed alone belongs to their father.

And it is very inappropriate for you, as an elder, not even giving them a place to stay.

This child has been sick for quite some time, yet he doesn't even have the money to buy medicine. This is enough to prove that you, as elders, have no compassion at all.

As for the so-called evil star in your mouth, my dynasty has issued an order that you should not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or chaos.

This kind of unfounded and vague thing is not a reason for you to embarrass the younger generation.

In a case like his, he doesn't even need a hob to sue you in the government. All he needs to do is find someone with a good reputation to guarantee them.

I am not talented, but I have made great achievements, so I am willing to be their guarantor." Captain Zhang looked at Qiao Wu coldly.
