Quick Wear: She Became the Beloved of the Short-lived Male Supporting Character

Chapter 74 The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character in a Time Traveling Novel (14)

Gossip is human nature.

Most people can't resist their curiosity about new things, and this ghost is no exception.

Mrs. Zhou was in tears, hysterical and wailing in pain.

The little kid squatted in the corner, grinning and grinning.

"You cry so ugly. You cry much more beautifully than her."

Jiang Wan: “…”

This compliment is not very good.

"It's him, it's that man. I went out to look for food one time and saw them gnawing at the rockery." The young man pointed at the man who wanted to run but was pinned to the ground by the housekeeper and his men.

If you want to know where the butler got the courage from, it is naturally inseparable from the contribution of Master Sai.

If he ran away, the death of the eldest master would be blamed on them, the servants.

If we catch him, they won't be blamed for the eldest master's death.

……

The eldest son of the Zhou family died.

The death of a person is not a big deal.

But the one who died was the eldest son of the Zhou family, so that's something to discuss.

The Zhou family hired people to perform rituals and to bring good luck to the couple, but in the end they failed to keep the person.

"You know nothing." A customer holding a wonton bowl at a street wonton stand raised his eyebrows, looking very proud, "The eldest son of the Zhou family didn't die of illness, but was angry to death."

After these words were spoken, those who were eating stopped eating, those passing by stopped walking, and the old man selling candied haws came up carrying a stack of straw. Everyone wanted to hear what was going on.

Not dying of illness, but of anger...

How can you be so angry?

The new wife of the eldest son of the Zhou family is quite docile.

"My uncle's eldest nephew's cousin's classmate was working in the government office. When he heard that on the night Young Master Zhou died, someone with dishevelled hair rushed to the gate of the government office and beat a drum to complain, saying that he wanted to sue Madam Zhou for murder."

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

"what!"

The group of people surrounding him urged him to tell what was going on.

Could it be that Mrs. Zhou killed her own son with her own hands?

How is this possible?

Everyone knows that Mrs. Zhou is very worried about her son.

"What are you thinking about? How could Mrs. Zhou kill her own son? It is said that Mrs. Zhou killed someone, and Young Master Zhou saw it and died of fright." He was proud of knowing things that others did not know.

"You are talking nonsense. How could Young Master Zhou die like that? I have a relative who works for the Zhou family. He witnessed how Young Master Zhou died."

"You know, how did you die?"

"I'll tell you all about it." He cleared his throat. "Mrs. Zhou has been a widow for so many years. She couldn't stand the loneliness and hooked up with someone. Young Master Zhou saw this scandal with his own eyes. He was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and died."

As he spoke, he used both hands to try to open his inverted triangle eyes. "When Master Zhou died, his eyes were so wide open that they almost popped out of his eye sockets. He couldn't close them no matter what. This shows that he had resentment in his heart and couldn't close his eyes until he died."

"real or fake?"

"What do you mean by true or false? If you don't believe me, go to Zhou's house and ask."

"Stop talking about whether it's true or not. The yamen runners summoned the Zhou family to the yamen. Why don't we go and listen to what's going on?"

The people who sued Mrs. Zhou for murder were Zhou Huairou and her daughter.

They knelt in the court and told every detail of the evil deeds that Mrs. Zhou had done many years ago.

Yesterday, the prefect summoned the two people and read their complaints. He also asked the officers to bring back the relevant people, including the witnesses. Now, the procedure was just repeated in the court.

The prefect who was sitting above read the complaint submitted by the lawyer and asked if there were any other witnesses. Yunniang named two maids and the housekeeper, who were the ones who helped Mr. Zhou to commit the evil deeds.

The prefect banged the gavel and ordered the officers to bring the few people to the court.

At this time, a man in the crowd raised a petition in his hand and said loudly: "Sir, sir, I beg the great judge to make a decision for me. I have a great grievance to appeal."

"Who is this person here, and what is he suing for?"

The person who came was Jiang's father. Jiang Wan asked Zhou Huairou to take people to Jiangjia Village to invite the two elders of the Jiang family. The complaint was also written in advance, which clearly stated what the lawsuit was about.

"I am Jiang Dashan, a resident of Jiangjia Village. I want to sue the Zhou family for bribing a matchmaker to arrange a marriage fraud. On the wedding day, Zou Xiping even teamed up with the so-called master in the mansion to kill the bride in the same way as before to save Zhou Changyuan's life. If Zhou Changyuan hadn't woken up that day, my daughter would have died. Please investigate!"

The families of the two girls Zhou Changyuan had married before also cried and complained about the unjust deaths of their daughters and begged the adults to redress their grievances.

The onlookers were whispering, wondering how Mrs. Zhou could have done such a wicked thing.

Mrs. Zhou and her lover were both kneeling in the court. Mrs. Zhou looked dazed. The prefect asked her several questions but she did not respond. The lover confessed to adultery but did not admit to murder.

The two old women, haunted by nightmares and almost driven mad by torture, blurted out everything they had done.

How Mr. Zhou's descendants were murdered and how Mr. Zhou's concubine was framed more than 20 years ago.

When Madam Zhou married into the Zhou family, she had not been pregnant for three years. Mr. Zhou brought his concubine, who was pregnant with his own child, into the Zhou family and neglected Madam Zhou. Later, when the concubine gave birth to a son, Madam Zhou was afraid that her position as the wife would be lost, so she framed the concubine for adultery and said that the child was not Mr. Zhou's biological son.

In a rage, Mr. Zhou killed his own children, and his concubine jumped into a well. Mrs. Zhou also did not let the three children go, deliberately causing them to catch a cold and delaying their illness, which led to their death.

Yunniang was afraid that her daughter would meet with a murderer, so she smeared ink on her daughter's face after she was born to make her look ugly. Yunniang pretended to be crazy and stupid so that she could survive.

Not long ago, Mrs. Zhou's servant, Mrs. Fang, said a few wrong words. They were afraid that Mrs. Fang would tell them about the mistakes they had made, so they cruelly killed her.

The children and Mr. Zhou’s concubines didn’t even have a grave, so it was difficult to find out how they died, but Mrs. Fang and the two new daughters-in-law of the Zhou family all died not long ago.

Finally, the master gave an order and ordered the coroner to open the coffin and perform an autopsy.

Mrs. Fang did not fall into the water accidentally, but was killed and thrown into the water. Mrs. Fang's family also confirmed that when Mrs. Fang was sent home by the Zhou family, she said something that she did not kill the person.

The two brides of the Zhou family who died before did not die suddenly, but were murdered.

Just after Mrs. Zhou confessed her guilt and signed her name, the dead Zhou Changyuan finally closed his eyes.

The prefect ruled that Zhou Changyuan and Jiang Wan were divorced and their engagement was invalid. He also allowed Jiang Wan to change her household registration, leave the Zhou family, and have no further connection with the family.
