As for the reason for calling the eldest son and his wife back, that is very simple. The last division of the family business was too hasty, and there are some things that require them to come back to deal with.

After hearing what Zhang and his wife said, they felt that the parents-in-law felt that they had been treated unfairly and wanted to compensate them!

We must hurry back happily so that we can harvest again!

The elders of the clan had no idea why Uncle Zhang had mobilized so many people. It was not until Uncle Zhang and his wife came back and asked them angrily one question after another that they realized that this heartless couple had failed to sell the girl before and had come up with another plan.

But this time they learned their lesson and did not show up themselves, but asked Uncle Zhang's cousin's wife to come and act as a matchmaker.

Uncle Zhang had a pretty good relationship with his cousin and his wife, and they visited each other quite often. He had never noticed that there was anything wrong with this marriage before.

Just because he wanted to know more about the man for his daughter's marriage, Uncle Zhang shamelessly went to the house and asked Gu Lin to check. Unexpectedly, the investigation almost killed him.

This man had been married once before, and his wife died a year after the marriage. Now it has only been a year since they got married.

It is normal for a man to find another wife after his death, but the information we found said that this man was a domestic abuser and would beat people when he was drunk. His wife was beaten all over her body and she couldn't bear it anymore so she reported it to the authorities.

After mediation by the government, he was taken back, but his condition became even worse and his wife died not long after.

Although he died from falling into the water, the cause of death is somewhat intriguing considering the domestic violence that occurred previously.

"Is there something fishy going on here?" Gu Qingzhi frowned and asked in confusion, "Then the woman's family doesn't care?"

At this time, Tang Wang interrupted and said, "If there is no movement from the woman's family, it means that the woman is not valued by her family."

Gu Xiaoshui clapped his hands, "Yes! Grandpa Tang is right! This girl, it is said that both her parents died, and she grew up with her uncle and aunt.

Her uncle and aunt were concerned about the house in her home and were not nice to her.

As soon as she got married, the house was occupied by her uncle and aunt.

When I learned of her death, I just cried a few times in front of the coffin and didn't ask any more questions afterwards.

but……"

Gu Xiaoshui changed the subject and continued, "Some people also said that it was because the man gave them hush money, so they didn't pursue the matter."

Tang Wang nodded, indicating that this possibility did exist.

Although the cause of the woman's death was questionable, the matter was eventually left unresolved because no one reported it to the authorities.

However, this is just a guess. If there was solid evidence, the man would have been thrown into jail long ago.

Therefore, based on this point alone, Uncle Zhang would not be so angry that he almost died.

Gu Xiaoshui said mysteriously, "I heard that this man had an ambiguous relationship with his widowed sister-in-law. Some people even suspected that her widowed sister-in-law's son was actually his child."

After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi was shocked. This kind of thing was simply against human ethics!

She widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "This...this is too ridiculous, right? This is totally against human ethics!"

Gu Xiaoshui stuck out her tongue and continued, "I was just listening, but Boss Zhang didn't refute it, maybe he knows something about it.

Moreover, he obediently signed the document severing his family relationship, so it seems that this matter may not be groundless."

Gu Qingzhi's heart moved, and she asked, "Do you know the name of that man?"

Gu Xiaoshui tilted her head and thought for a while before answering, "I think his name is Zheng or something... Zheng... Oh, yes, Zheng Shigao!"

When Gu Qingzhi heard the three words "Zheng Shigao", she felt that they sounded somewhat familiar and couldn't help but frown and think about it.

She always felt as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember the specific information for a moment.

Gu Qingzhi decided that it would be better to confirm it, so she asked Gu Xiaoshui again: "Shui Jie'er, do you know how old that man is? Where is he from?"

Although Gu Xiaoshui didn't understand why her sister was so curious about the man, she still thought about it seriously, and then answered uncertainly: "I think he is 23 years old... I heard he is from Xinheli."

Hearing this, a roar suddenly sounded in Gu Qingzhi's mind.

Twenty-three years old, Zheng Shigao, from Xinheli - these key words combined together immediately reminded her of someone.

Gu Qingzhi was shocked, it was him!

In her previous life, her brother once dealt with a military pay corruption case that shocked the imperial court, and the culprit who was eventually found out was Zheng Shigao!

At that time, due to the corruption of military pay, 50,000 soldiers on the front line died because of lack of medicine and food. When the current emperor learned about it, he was furious and ordered his brother to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Under tremendous pressure, my brother finally targeted Zheng Shigao after a long investigation.

Before conclusive evidence surfaced, many people were skeptical about the matter. After all, Zheng Shigao was good at managing his reputation and had an excellent reputation.

Many people even found it hard to believe that he would do such a thing.

Zheng Shigao was a newly crowned top scholar. Later, through his connections with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he successfully became the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo and married his only daughter, Princess Ruo'an.

It’s a pity that beautiful women have always been short-lived. Just five years after the two got married, Princess Ruoan died of illness.

Rumor has it that Lord Zheng was deeply in love with the county princess, and he guarded her tablet and refused to remarry. He claimed that having his nephew to support him in his old age was enough, and he would spend the rest of his life cherishing the memory of his deceased wife.

This move touched the Duke of Zhenguo so much that he supported him with all his strength.

From then on, he rose rapidly in the court and almost had the strength to compete with his brother.

Until the biggest corruption case in the military broke out...

Now that I think about it, it wasn't about him staying with his deceased wife and not wanting to remarry, it was clearly about him having an affair with his widowed sister-in-law!

They are afraid that others will know about their affair.

In fact, maybe the death of County Master Ruoan is related to him?

But this also shows that my brother's Seven Star Team is indeed powerful and can find out such secrets.

Yes, now Zheng Shigao is not the majestic Lord Zheng in later generations. Now he is just a helper in the restaurant kitchen. He is far from being as scheming and powerful as he was in his previous life.

In this case, she had to find a way to kill this adulterous couple.

It’s not enough that he has harmed his innocent ex-wife, now he wants to harm Sister Xiaoyan. Does he really think he can choose any woman in the world?

However, Gu Qingzhi remembered that this incident did not happen in her previous life, and she didn't know what had changed.

Let Zheng Shigao find someone to come and propose marriage.

However, how did Boss Zhang get in touch with Zheng Shigao?

As far as he knew, Zheng Shigao was helping in the restaurant's kitchen, while Zhang Lao Da was helping out in the rice shop.
