Chapter 194: Suffering
"Master Chu, I believe you will not protect the Su family, right?!" Zhang said with a somewhat threatening tone.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Tongpan. I will definitely not protect anyone. It's just that it doesn't seem good to rush in so hastily. I'd better let someone report it." County Magistrate Chu is a smart man, and naturally he will not do stupid things with Zhang. , who knew what was going on inside, so he dared to rush in rashly. If there was really someone inside, he couldn't afford it. Besides, he had no grudge against the Su family in the first place, and even the relationship between the two families was quite good, so he came here. As a last resort.
"The master is right, it's better to report it." Mrs. Wei, the county magistrate's wife, also supported her. She was naturally on the side of the Su family, thinking that if there was something, she would give the Su family time to deal with it. , ever since her two daughters-in-law became pregnant, the Wei family has had an unprecedented friendly and grateful attitude toward the Su family. What's more, this Mrs. Tongpan seems to be too domineering and unforgiving. She knows that it is definitely not Su. Family's fault.
"What are you reporting so that you can leave time for them to escape? You have calculated well! Don't think that this lady doesn't know about your relationship with the Su family. You just want to help the Su family. Don't even think about it!" Ms. Zhang was not angry! He glared at Mr. Wei fiercely, as if Mr. Wei had done something heinous, and angrily walked inside with his servants.
The servants of the Su Mansion stopped him symbolically for a moment, but then made no move. Zhang made his way unimpeded, grabbed a maid and asked for directions, and walked all the way to the main courtyard.
The magistrate Chu and the magistrate's wife looked at each other and followed Zhang. Magistrate Chu wanted to adapt to the situation, and the magistrate's wife wanted to see if she could help.
The servants of the Su Mansion were not surprised at all when they saw Mrs. Tongpan barging in with someone. They didn't even react with any surprise. They took one look and turned away, silently doing what they were doing. Mrs. Zhang The woman was so focused on causing trouble for the Su family that she didn't notice these details at all. Magistrate Chu saw this and became more sure of her suspicions.
The little maid led Zhang and his party into the courtyard. Before Zhang could ask questions, she heard voices and laughter inside. Zhang had never seen Su Wenyue, but Sun recognized Su Wenyue's voice immediately.
"Mom, this is right. That bitch from the Su family is inside."
After Mrs. Zhang got the affirmation, she didn't need to ask the little maid, and rushed in with her people: "Come here, give these daring and unruly people to my wife..."
Mrs. Zhang got stuck in the middle of her words, and then heard a popping sound. Mrs. Sun followed behind her. She was about to speak but lost her voice when she entered. When she saw the majestic old woman in imperial uniform sitting in front of her, she felt in her heart. They shuddered, they were all officials' relatives, no matter how weak their eyesight was, they would not fail to recognize that the official uniforms in front of them were the color of the second grade.
Both Zhang and her daughter knelt down, and those who rushed in after them knelt on the ground. Magistrate Chu and the magistrate's wife followed behind and hurriedly stepped forward to salute when they heard the movement in front.
"I pay my respects to Madam Hou. Madam is well." The county magistrate's wife only knelt down and bowed. However, County Magistrate Chu revealed the identity of the old lady above. The people in the room were shocked when they heard the name Madam Hou. , I wish I could knock my head to the ground. I was obviously here to arrest someone, but in the end I caught Mrs. Hou, who was above me. This is going to be unlucky.
Mrs. Su was able to reveal her identity to County Magistrate Chu with just one breath. Her eyes swept over County Magistrate Chu and stayed for half a second. Since she could reveal her identity, she must have a close relationship with the Su family, and when they came in, they were Following Zhang and his party, the government servants behaved restrainedly and felt confident.
Mrs. Su glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and then she said something after a long while: "Who are these people? Is the world so chaotic now? How dare a random cat or dog break into my Su's house and point at "I scold you because I don't care about you, or I don't care about Bei'an Marquis Mansion, or I don't care about the imperial court at all."
Mrs. Su's words were quite calm, but the people kneeling on the ground were frightened. What were they saying? How dare they not take the court seriously? This is a charge of rebellion.
"Grandma, this is the wife of our Lord Tongpan in Yiyang Mansion. It is said that Lord Tongpan is one of the best in our Yiyang Mansion. No wonder Madam Tongpan dares not to take the court seriously. I heard that the county magistrate is even removed. Your Majesty's official position, forgive your granddaughter for being ignorant, I have never heard of a housewife being able to interfere with the affairs of the court, the world has really changed." Su Wenyue also laughed and said.
When Mrs. Tongpan heard Su Wenyue say these words, her already pale face turned even paler. At this time, she no longer cared about resenting Su Wenyue. If Mrs. Hou really pinned these charges on her, not only would she be unlucky, but the Sun family would also be in trouble. Big trouble, when the time comes, dismissal from office will be a trivial matter. Contempt of the court is tantamount to treason, which is a major crime of confiscating one's family and exterminating one's clan!
"There is such a thing, Mrs. Wang, is this true?" Mrs. Su asked coldly, seeming to be considering something.
"To Mrs. Hou, even if you give me a hundred courages, I won't dare to despise the imperial court or interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. At that time, I was talking nonsense and I couldn't take it seriously. Please forgive me, Mrs. Hou. I don’t dare to do it anymore.” Ms. Zhang was so nervous that she even stuttered when she spoke.
"I'm sorry you don't dare! It's just that the trouble you are causing for my granddaughter is real. Yueniang has been pregnant for nearly five months now. If something goes wrong because of some people's bad intentions, let's see what I can spare!"
"I dare not!" Zhang's mother and daughter were frightened to death by the questioning of the Marquis' wife, and they just kept begging for mercy. They never thought that Su Wenyue, the daughter of a merchant, would have such a powerful background. Otherwise, they would not dare to come to her door even if they were given a hundred courage. Sun was regretful. She thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true. She was really hurt by Chen and Wang.
County Magistrate Chu and his wife were also beating their hearts. Their bare legs were numb from kneeling. Although the incident seemed to have nothing to do with them, it happened in Xinye. They were even more frightened by the majesty of the Marquis' wife. Su Wenyue helped them up and let them sit down. Zhang's mother and daughter were not so lucky. Although their knees hurt after kneeling for a long time, they could only kneel honestly without the Marquis' wife saying anything.
Coming out of the Su Mansion supporting each other, Zhang's mother and daughter felt covered in cold sweat, their legs felt weak, and they felt completely exhausted. The wife of Marquis Beian was so powerful and terrifying that she seemed to be able to see through their thoughts with just one look.
