Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Eldest Young Master Wu was stopped by Shi Qingluo. He wanted to tear her apart.
With a dark face, he said, “Don’t force me to hit a woman.”
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. “Then come and hit me!”
She was able to knock down a weakling like Eldest Young Master Wu with just a few punches.
Eldest Young Master Wu was really going crazy. “I told you, we weren’t the ones who poisoned him.
“My father is the head of the family. If you have anything to say, you can look for my father.”
Shi Qingluo shook her head. “I won’t. Your father has gone to investigate the case with the officials. How can I get the antidote if I follow him? I’ll follow you.”
She even waved her hand as if she was understanding. “It’s fine. You do what you wish to. I’ll follow you.”
Eldest Young Master Wu remained silent, I’m really grateful then. Can you be more human?
However, he did not have time to talk nonsense with Shi Qingluo.
He quickly headed towards their abandoned courtyard.
At this moment, Eldest Son Shi’s youngest son, Shi Liulang, appeared behind a pillar after Eldest Young Master Wu left.
He quickly ran in front of Shi Qingluo and said in a low voice, “Sister, those bailiffs did not find anything in that courtyard.”
......
Before he came, Shi Qingluo had instructed Shi Liulang to follow those bailiffs to take a look when Old Lady Shi and the others were causing a ruckus.
If anything happened, he would immediately come and tell her.
She then instructed Shi Liulang, “Run out of the manor and find my husband at the teahouse across the street. Tell him that I was beaten by Eldest Young Master Wu.”
Then, she grabbed a handful of copper coins from her purse and gave it to him.
If she wanted a cow to work, she had to feed the cow.
“Alright, I’ll go now.” Shi Liulang took the copper coins, stuffed them inside his clothes, and ran away.
Then, Shi Qingluo brought Xiao Baili and chased after Eldest Young Master Wu.
Eldest Young Master Wu arrived at the abandoned courtyard and saw a few bailiffs looking for something. His heart skipped a beat.
He walked over with a dark expression. “Bailiffs, why are you here?”
Because of the prefect, he always spoke to the bailiffs of the county office with superiority.
One of the bailiffs smiled and said, “Tongsheng Shi said that someone wanted to kill him to silence him, but that person didn’t succeed and ran towards this courtyard. We’re still searching for the murderer.”
Eldest Young Master Wu thought to himself, can the make up story be more realistic?
He was now certain that Mo Qingling might know that there was something wrong with their courtyard.
However, from the looks of these people, they did not find any hidden mechanisms here.
He did not think that these ordinary bailiffs would be able to find something that their family had specially hired people skilled to set up the hidden mechanisms.
He thought for a moment and said, “Everyone, hurry up and look for it. Then, we’ll go to the other courtyards and take a look.”
After this investigation, Mo Qingling would not suspect anything in the future.
Furthermore, they would move to the prefecture capital in a few days.
They would not let Mo Qingling find an excuse to search their house.
They cursed Fourth Son Shi in their hearts, and all his eighteen generations of ancestors.
That b* stard was actually a traitor.
He colluded with Shi Qingluo, her husband, and Mo Qingling to create trouble.
Poison, my ass. This was definitely an excuse.
As for the poisoning diagnosed by the doctor, it was definitely caused by Xiao Hanzheng.
After all, that fellow was the disciple of some divine doctor.
However, they had to admit that such an excuse was indeed good.
When the case of Fourth Son Shi who had been poisoned in the Wu family was reported, the government could indeed come to his house to investigate.
What a good plan.
Looking at these bailiffs looking around like headless flies without any leads, his eyes revealed a sense of pride and superiority.
If they were found just like that, then their family would have died countless times.
At this moment, Shi Qingluo had just entered when she saw the proud look in Eldest Young Master Wu’s eyes.
She had also confirmed her previous suspicions, so she was prepared to use her alternative plan.
She was not good at finding traps, so she had to rely on her husband.
Hence, she immediately rushed over and grabbed Eldest Young Master Wu. “Why are you running? Are you feeling guilty?
“Let’s go. Hurry up and get the antidote for me.” Then, she grabbed Eldest Young Master Wu’s arm and tried to drag him out.
It was as if she wanted to drag Eldest Young Master Wu out of the courtyard on purpose.
Eldest Young Master Wu sneered in his heart.
These people were indeed cooperating with Mo Qingling to investigate the courtyard.
Now, they just wanted him to leave as soon as possible so that they wouldn’t hinder these bailiffs from investigating.
So he didn’t.
“For the last time, we weren’t the ones who poisoned you. Don’t pester me, or I won’t hold back.”
After saying that, he tossed Shi Qingluo away.
Shi Qingluo fell to the ground.
She didn’t get up.
She raised her head and glared at Eldest Young Master Wu. “You actually hit me. I want my husband to teach you a lesson.”
Eldest Young Master Wu realized that she was indeed from the Shi family.
She was also pestering him.
“I don’t even know where your husband is.”
Just as Eldest Young Master Wu finished speaking, Xiao Hanzheng’s voice sounded from the courtyard door.
“Eldest Young Master Wu, you’re so imposing. What did my wife do to provoke you? You actually hit her.”
Seeing Xiao Hanzheng enter, Shi Qingluo immediately stood up and complained with red eyes, “He scolded me and hit me. He also doesn’t want to give my fourth uncle the antidote.”
Xiao Hanzheng looked at her with a face full of heartache.
Then, he walked over with a sullen face. “Eldest Young Master Wu, please give me an explanation.”
Eldest Young Master Wu sighed, are these guys done yet? All of you are coming one after another, it was definitely premeditated.
He also had a sullen face. “I didn’t hit or scold her.”
Shi Qingluo glared at him and said, “You didn’t hit me. How did I fall to the ground?”
Eldest Young Master Wu uttered under his breath, how would he know?
He was so tired that he didn’t even want to explain.
Shi Qingluo didn’t wait for him to speak. She saw Mo Qingling walk in as well.
She immediately said, “Magistrate Mo, you have to stand up for me!
“The Wu family poisoned my fourth uncle, hired assassins to silence him, and now they’re beating and scolding a woman like me.
“I’m going to sue them on behalf of my fourth uncle.”
Eldest Young Master Wu’s expression changed. “Shi Qingluo, don’t slander us like that.”
“If you do this, I’ll turn around and sue you for framing me.”
Shi Qingluo said nonchalantly, “Go ahead and sue me. After all, my fourth uncle is the one who accused you of harming others. It’s none of my business.”
Eldest Young Master Wu remained silent.
He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen someone as shameless as Shi Qingluo.
This was the first time Mo Qingling had seen Shi Qingluo messing around and twisting the truth.
A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes, but she put on a serious face. “Eldest Young Master Wu, since Tongsheng Shi has sued you, then I will investigate.
“Tongsheng Shi said that someone wanted to kill him, and then he ran over here. Do you have anything to say?”
Eldest Young Master Wu immediately said, “Sir, this is all a false accusation by the Shi family. Tongsheng Shi’s poisoning has nothing to do with our family.
“We didn’t ask anyone to kill him, nor did any murderer come here to hide.
“Our Wu family has a clear conscience. If you don’t believe it, feel free to search, Magistrate Mo.”
In any case, they wouldn’t be able to find anything.
The few bailiffs just now were finding cluelessly.
Shi Qingluo suddenly tugged at Xiao Hanzheng. “My husband, my fourth uncle’s life is too miserable. You should go and search as well. Find the killer, so that these bad people won’t turn the tables on him.”
Xiao Hanzheng pinched her hand. “Alright, I’ll help your fourth uncle.”
Eldest Young Master Wu thought to himself, I wonder who you are trying to accuse.
How shameless.
However, he didn’t mind that Xiao Hanzheng wanted to go and search as well.
How could a scholar know any of these tricks?
After these people finished their work in vain, he would accuse them of framing him. Hmph!
