Chapter 2902 Two wives

Why did something happen in Sujiacun?

What if the Bai family had a tough attitude at that time and blamed Sujiacun for framed people, and the matter became a big deal?

It is a small village with three royal archways, but it is not very eye-catching. But once things get big, what happened back then will be revealed again. By then, the Bai family will inevitably face boiling public resentment. Even the emperor will not be able to speak for the Bai family. .

The man behind this is Qin Kaichang, but who is behind Qin Kaichang? Why target the Bai family? Is it Duan Wang or Ma Tongfang?

Although the Bai family seems to be prosperous now, it is not a family with deep foundation and does not have the close connections of the Gongqing family. There are only three officials in the government, and Bai Ruozhu can only be regarded as half an official, and cannot determine the overall situation of the government at all. .

If King Duan wants to subvert the imperial court, why should he target the Bai family? A waste of effort?

If Ma Tongfang wanted to stop them from investigating what happened back then, wouldn't it change anything if he just started with the Bai family's business? On the contrary, did it heighten their vigilance?

"My grandfather named me Su Zhen, just because he wanted me to be as chaste and filial as my great-grandfather's mother. I am the only girl in my generation, and the others are brothers. My grandfather was very good to me when I was a child, but I am really I like to study medicine..." Su Zhen said with tears falling, "The Su family values ​​benevolence, justice and charity. If I can treat patients and save people, isn't it also a good deed?"

Bai Ruozhu touched her head and said, "Don't worry, your grandfather may change. At least he has gone to plead guilty."

Su Zhen burst out laughing, "Yes, it's really rare for someone to care about face as much as my grandfather."

"By the way, tell me about the previous deaths in your village. The more detailed the better." Bai Ruozhu said.

Su Zhen slowly started to talk about it. This incident was also a scandal in Sujia Village. It was usually not told to outsiders, but now, let alone Su Zhen, not even the village chief Su Kang would treat Bai Ruozhu as an outsider.

"The person who died was the second daughter-in-law of the Qiao family. She and the third daughter-in-law of Niu had a bad reputation in the village. Both of them were in contact with men. However, the one who always looked for the third daughter-in-law of Niu was her cousin, who was considered a relative, but the second daughter-in-law of Qiao was always looking for her. We don’t even know my daughter-in-law, we bumped into her by chance.”

"The second child of the Qiao family has a bad temper and is born like a calf. When I asked her for a reason, he started to attack. It's not a thing. It's wrong to hit a woman, so now the second child of Qiao's life is very bad. He lives a good life, hiding at home every day and not daring to go out. I heard he was very scared at night, and neighbors heard him scream."

Su Zhen smiled sheepishly, "My mother told me all this. I don't know much about it outside. The master who was with you at the entrance of the village that day said that you need to remove dirt. I asked my mother when I got back. My mother On weekdays, I always help the women in the village with some errands, be a peacemaker, a matchmaker, etc., and I know a lot more than the average person."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, Su Zhen and her mother were in a position similar to the director of the modern Women's Federation.

"A few days later, Qiao's second daughter-in-law hanged herself. I heard that she was rescued and her tongue was so long that her eyes were so wide open that she couldn't close her eyes when she was buried. It was very scary," Su Zhen said. She shuddered and said, "They said she felt aggrieved and that Qiao Laoer hit people too hard."

"There was no report to the official at that time? No one conducted an autopsy?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"Usually it's not easy to report someone who commits suicide by hanging. Do you suspect that she didn't commit suicide?" Su Zhen covered her mouth, "She couldn't have been strangled to death by Qiao Laoer, right?"

Bai Ruozhu gave her an angry look, "Don't think about it. I'm just worried that he killed her. Don't tell anyone about it. I'll find a way to do an autopsy."

"Aren't you afraid?" Su Zhen asked nervously.

Bai Ruozhu laughed and said that she had to dissect corpses when studying medicine, but this was too unorthodox in ancient times, so she had better not scare other girls.

While the two were talking, they saw a figure flash past. Su Zhen hurriedly pulled Bai Ruozhu and whispered: "Master Bai, that is the cousin of Niu's third daughter-in-law. Why are you here again at this time? Are you not afraid of Niu?" Beat him three times?”

Bai Ruozhu became curious and whispered, "Go and have a look."

Su Zhen's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

This girl is a little rebellious at heart, but a little gossip.

The two followed him and saw him going to Niu San's wife.

"How's the sale going?" Niu San's wife asked in a low voice.

"They're all sold. The lady likes your paintings very much and wants you to give them away if you have any more." The cousin happily took out the silver and stuffed it into the hands of Niu San's daughter-in-law, but she pushed it back.

"Cousin, please keep it for me. I won't be able to tell you clearly when I take it back. Moreover, I have asked Niu San to write a divorce letter in public. I will rely on this money to support Niuer by myself in the future." Niu San's wife said .

My cousin was surprised, "Why is it a letter of divorce? Shouldn't it be a reconciliation? He is not worthy of you at all. If your mother hadn't been seriously ill at the time, how could you have married him? He also disliked you for giving birth to a child. daughter."

Niu San's daughter-in-law smiled bitterly, "It's okay if their family dislikes me. They dislike Niu'er too much. I don't want Niu'er to suffer anymore. Just divorce your wife. They won't agree to Heli."

"How can you remarry after divorcing your wife? It will be bad for your reputation." My cousin said seriously.

"Why should I marry again? It's enough for me to support my children. Why should I marry someone and suffer again? I work in the Niu family from dawn to dusk. Isn't it bad for them? But how do they treat me and my daughter?" Niu San's daughter-in-law said a little angrily and her voice was a little louder.

The cousin sighed, "Since you have already thought about it, I won't say more. Don't worry about leaving the money here with me. If you want to buy land, I will go and look after it for you."

"There is no rush to buy land, I may want to do some small business." Niu San's wife said, she seemed to be a very independent woman.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can send someone a message and your cousin-in-law and I will come to pick you up." said the cousin.

"Thank you cousin, I must bring my cousin with me when the time comes. I don't want to cause you any more trouble." She said guiltily.

My cousin laughed and said, "Why bother? I swore to my second aunt before she died that I would help you."

Soon the two of them dispersed. Su Zhen didn't have a good ear as Bai Ruozhu, so she couldn't hear clearly. She said angrily: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly at all."

"The people in your village have misunderstood this Niu third daughter-in-law. Her cousin has been helping her sell paintings, but she doesn't seem to want to let the Niu family know that she plans to use the money from selling the paintings to do some small business and support her daughter by herself in the future. I will never marry again."

Bai Ruozhu felt a little emotional. In ancient times, it would be really hard for women in ancient times to encounter unkind people. Not only did she work from dawn to dusk, but her children also endured hardships. Think about what her parents were like back then.
