Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

After Qiao Jun and his sister left with Ruan Qing and his party, Qiao Wu became extremely uneasy and anxious.

If Chen Yaojin had not suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he would not be afraid at all that Qiao Jun would sue him.

If I report the following to you, I will be beaten first.

After the beating, Lord Su may not care about this trivial matter.

What happened in their family is just a common family affair of fighting over property.

Given Magistrate Su's character, how could he possibly take care of the Qiao family's affairs for the sake of the Qiao Yun brother and sister who had lost their father?

Now with a few more troublemakers whose origins are unknown, the situation becomes more uncertain.

I wanted to go and say hello to Governor Su, but I was afraid of leaving room for gossip and making things worse.

Because although Magistrate Su is a person who does not like to meddle in other people's affairs and does not offend people easily, he never accepts bribes.

Unable to go to see Prefect Su and unable to find out how the matter would develop, Qiao Wu became extremely anxious.

"Xiao Wu, why are you jumping around like a headless fly? Are you really afraid of those two evil creatures?

I think you are going backwards as you get older. What is there to be afraid of?

Magistrate Su usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, and this is just a family matter.

Why would he be so picky with us for no reason?

If you have too much free time, you might as well go and check where those outsiders live.

That bitch dared to hit me. If I don't pull out her tendons and skin her alive, torturing her to the point where she wants to live but cannot, then my life will have been lived in vain.

If you can't help me get justice, I will tell the third son everything that happened today." Seeing her son fidgeting, Tang, who was usually domineering, couldn't help but frown and scold him.

Among the three sons she gave birth to, the third one was the most capable and the most accommodating and filial to his mother.

When Zhao Ping beat her before, Qiao Wu not only did not help her get justice, but also threatened her, which made her very dissatisfied.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to protect you, but the origins of those outsiders are a mystery. What if they are people we can't afford to offend? Wouldn't that cause trouble for my third brother?" Qiao Wu glanced at his mother and explained patiently.

"How can it be so scary? Our Qiao family is a century-old prestigious family in Jiangnan. The plaque on our house has the handwritten inscription of Emperor Hongxi. How can anyone bully us?

As long as they are not royal relatives, we are not afraid." Tang snorted indifferently.

She has been married into the Qiao family for nearly forty years, and has never seen anyone act arrogantly in front of the Qiao family.

"Royal relatives?" Qiao Wu was stunned and then his face changed drastically.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Tang was startled by her.

"Mom, haven't you heard about the empress dowager's confiscation of property?" Qiao Wu looked at Tang and said.

"Search, confiscate the empress dowager's property? Then, isn't that just a made-up story? Isn't the storyteller talking nonsense?" When Tang heard these words, her tone couldn't help but weaken.

"What a made-up story, those are all true stories. From Fu'an to Qingsha County, which are only two places, she raided seven households in total." Master Qiao Wu's face turned pale, and he looked as if he had lost his parents.

At this moment, he wished he could get a hammer and hit himself twice.

Why did he turn a blind eye when Master Jin winked at him like that before?

"What should we do?" Tang was also panicking at this moment.

No matter how domineering and arrogant she was, she would not dare to act in front of the empress dowager.

"Husband, husband, mother, no, the person who came is not necessarily the Queen Mother. The news of the Queen Mother's seizure of property has been spread to Jiangnan for more than a month.

I haven't seen her for such a long time, maybe she has already returned to Beijing." Qiao Wu's wife Qian replied hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, yes, your wife is right. For a queen mother, it's enough for her to go out and play for a while on a whim.

It's impossible for him to stay out playing and not come back." Tang nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

"No, I'll go to the prefectural government office to check." Qiao Wu was bored at home for a while, but he was still worried, so he decided to go to the government office to check the situation.

But as soon as he reached the gate, he saw Constable Yang from the prefectural yamen coming towards his house with a group of yamen runners.

"Captain Yang, what are you doing?" Qiao Wu asked carefully.

"Master Qiao Wu, I have been ordered to bring you and your old lady, Mrs. Tang, to the court for questioning." Captain Yang said.

"I'll go with you. My mother is old..." Qiao Wu was stunned and then replied.

"Master Qiao Wu, I have been ordered to bring you and your old lady, Mrs. Tang, to the court for questioning, not just you alone." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Captain Yang.

Qiao Wu closed his eyes slightly.

The little bit of luck in their hearts completely disappeared. It seems that this time, the Qiao family has really hit a wall.

Old Madam Tang was very frightened on the way to the government office. She instinctively thought that the Queen Mother was going to cause trouble for her.

No matter how domineering she was, she knew that she would gain nothing by going against the Queen Mother.

But when she arrived at the lobby of the yamen and found out that it was Qiao Jun who insisted that she and her sons hired someone to kill her parents, and maliciously pinned the notoriety of being a jinx on her, she was furious.

She didn't even bother to care whether Ruan Qing was the Queen Mother or not. She just stared at Qiao Yun fiercely:

"You are a disobedient and unfilial person, a scoundrel who has brought misfortune upon your father and mother. You have brought misfortune upon your own mother, not to mention your father and stepmother.

Now you are accusing me, your grandmother, and your uncles of the crime of murder.

You won't be satisfied unless you kill and destroy the entire Qiao family."

Qiao Jun ignored her and stood aside silently without saying a word.

But Magistrate Su couldn't bear to see this, and had to slam the gavel heavily: "Madam Tang, are you going to roar in court?"

"Sir Su, I am also a person with an imperial decree, so I understand the rules of court conversation.

If my granddaughter hadn't been so disobedient and vicious, I wouldn't have been so angry with her that I lost my temper.

She had dared to attack her aunt at home before, and now she came to the government office and accused her own elder of such a bad name. It was simply...

Lord Su, I want to ask, has she provided any strong evidence to falsely accuse her elders like this? "Tang took a breath and asked.

After all, Tang was a former official, and she had been the mistress of the Qiao family for decades.

Even though he has a domineering and cunning personality, he still has the ability to deal with people.

"My parents' bodies are the best evidence, we can find out once we open the coffins.

They were clearly stabbed to death.

In the end, the governor of Xuzhou and my two good uncles insisted that he died of illness. If there is no trick, who would believe it?" Qiao Yun said coldly.

"Your parents have been buried for more than a month, and you actually want to dig them up for an autopsy?" Tang looked at her in disbelief.

“Why not? As long as it can redress their wrongdoings, I believe my father and mother won’t blame me.

Grandma's reaction was so strong, could it be that she was feeling guilty?" Qiao Yun suddenly took a step closer to her.

"You, you are so outrageous!" Tang was shocked and angry, her face and mouth trembled.
