urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 164 Strict Investigation
In the boundary of the capital city, there are quite a few well-to-do families.

Especially when you go to those jewelry shops, the exquisite and beautiful jewelry is even more expensive, if it is not for the rich family, you will not be willing to buy it.

Xiao Xiu'e wanted to find a good family for her daughter, so naturally she had to dress up her daughter first.

In the past, the gold and silver jewelry bought in my hometown seemed too old and not delicate enough in the capital.

But in this jewelry shop, the first floor is simple and cheaper gold and silver jewelry.

However, most of the jewelry on the second floor is exquisite and gorgeous, with exquisite workmanship.

Xiao Xiu'e carefully holds the lace hibiscus hairpin, the golden hibiscus flower is carved so lifelike, it's really hard to put it down.

There is also the plum blossom hairpin, the petals of the plum blossom are made of pink and white jade, and the stamens are made of gold thread, which is really indescribable.

Not to mention those pearl and jade jewelry, which are more exquisite than the same.

If it weren't for the inappropriate money in her hand, she really wished she could buy a few more.

The mother and daughter looked at several gold hairpins with similar prices, but they were all extremely delicate, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

At this moment, they heard some wives gossiping: "...The capital is not peaceful these days, I heard that someone was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today."

"Isn't that right? It was said that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the third master of Cheng'en Gong's mansion had an accident in Baiyun Temple. Fortunately, he was rescued that night. I don't know who is so bold."

"I heard that the person who was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice this time was a country boy who had just entered Beijing not long ago. I really don't know who these idiots are, how dare they get involved."

A wife couldn't wait to say: "I know, it's the husband of the eldest daughter-in-law of Dr. Meng's family in Huichuntang..."

Xiao Xiu'e, who was also listening to the excitement, rushed up and asked in panic when she heard this, "What did you say! Is something wrong with Mu's family?"

"That's right, there is another family that went to Beijing together and they were all taken to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Tsk tsk, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not a place to treat people. I heard that many people died in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice two days ago?"

"Really? How could something happen in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Now, Xiao Xiu'e and her daughter were no longer in the mood to choose jewelry, they all turned pale, hurried downstairs, and hired a carriage to go back.

When their mother and daughter returned to the rented yard, the mother-in-law cried and said that her father and son had been taken away, but fortunately none of the female relatives were taken away.

So her sister was fine, but Xiao Xiuzhu was not at home when the accident happened, and the servants did not know where she had gone.

Xiao Xiu'e hurried around and asked the maids and women to go out to find someone.

In fact, she really went to the doctor in a hurry. After all, the capital is so big, how can she find someone with just a few servants.

What's more, now Xiao Xiuzhu is also watching a play in the theater with other men.

But the place where they stayed was a small box, and the babbling on the stage outside was "The Story of the West Chamber". She also saved even the matchmaker.

It was also Xiao Xiuzhu who got into the wrong place for a while, thinking that Yu Wanniang, who was much older than herself, could remarry so well, so she could also marry a wealthy family in the capital.

After all, after she remarried, she was not pregnant, and she specially painted her eyebrows and made up her makeup, so she can be regarded as a woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

She didn't know anyone in the capital, so she put her mind on the third master Wang who came to Beijing.

She quietly went to Wang's pharmacy to find someone, with the excuse that someone had stolen her purse when she came out, so she borrowed some money to go back in a carriage.

But Third Master Wang dare not show his face in the pharmacy, and the pharmacy here is also managed by Second Master Wang.

Second Lord Wang is a bastard and a libertine, and he happens to have a special hobby, that is, he likes older women.

Now that she saw Xiao Xiuzhu who was quite pretty, she was naturally unwilling to let go of the meat that came to her door. After asking who she was, she was even less afraid.

Even if something happened, they didn't dare to do anything, they said they invited her to sit in the backyard and have a cup of tea, put something special in her tea, and bullied her when she was in a daze.

Xiao Xiuzhu cried a lot after waking up, but was still moved by his rhetoric, and besides, she had already been taken advantage of by him, so she was afraid that it would not end well if she made a fuss.

When Mu Youde thinks that he is not innocent, and Wang Erye also thinks that he is ignorant, then he will be defeated.

What's more, Xiao Xiuzhu hasn't been praised so much as a fairy beauty for a long time, and she really thinks that she is like Yu Wanniang, and she meets a man who looks at mung beans like a bastard and looks right.

A day later, Second Master Wang asked his mother-in-law to deliver a letter to her, and made an appointment to go to the theater and listen to music together.

Xiao Xiuzhu hesitated for a while. Although Second Master Wang is not as handsome as Mu Youde, he can speak well. The most important thing is that after Mu Youde came to the capital, the relationship between husband and wife was not very harmonious.

Later, Mu Youde went to Baihualou again, the two had a big fight, and they haven't reconciled yet.

She is now Huaxin Nianhua, and she naturally knows some things well.

After hesitating for a while, he dressed carefully and went out.

She felt that if Second Master Wang really wanted to marry her, then she would be happy if she could marry him and have a son and a half while she was young.

When she married Mu Youde back then, they were in love with each other like glue, but her stomach never moved.

Seeing that Yu Wanniang has a big belly after her remarriage, Xiao Xiuzhu wonders if there is something wrong with Mu Youde.

Seeing that Second Master Wang is more knowledgeable and interesting than Mu Youde, she also wants to climb higher in her heart.

As expected, after the two came to the private room, Second Master Wang became dishonest, and the trouble in this small private room was more exciting than on the stage.

In fact, the second master Wang has already married a wife and had children, his wife is as fierce as a tiger, and he is born of a concubine, so he is like a shopkeeper in a drug store.

But it's also because his son is useless, so he really doesn't know what kind of activities his father and brothers are doing, and he doesn't know who they are working for.

He only knew that he had never seen them before, so he dared to sneak out to have fun, and when he heard Xiao Xiuzhu say that she had no place to stay after they divorced, he was so scared that he almost fell off the narrow couch .

Originally, he planned to spend more time with Xiao Xiuzhu himself, but he didn't expect that his charm was so great that she really wanted to leave home.

He couldn't tell the truth, so he could only nod his head: "You wait for me for a few days, and I will buy you a house first, then you will have a place to stay."

Although he looks like a dog in his clothes, but he doesn't have a few taels of silver in his pocket, and it's a dream to buy a house.

He felt very sorry and had no choice but to stop contacting her.

But Xiao Xiuzhu smiled when she heard it. Now she knew that it was not easy to settle down in this place in the capital, but she didn't expect him to open his mouth to prepare a house for herself.

This is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

As for why Xiao Xiuzhu didn't doubt Second Master Wang's words, it was when they went to Beijing together, Third Master Wang spent a lot of money, and Uncle Chen especially supported the Wang family, so he took it for granted that Second Master Wang must have no shortage of gold and silver.

When the two reluctantly prepared to part, the door was kicked open, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in, making Xiao Xiuzhu scream in fright.

After all, in my hometown, if a woman dares to disobey women's morals, if she is caught, she will be soaked in a pig cage.

Second Master Wang was also a little confused. Could it be that the one surnamed Mu is so powerful?
Deliberately making people stare at them is to get all the stolen goods.

He hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? I'm the second master of the Wang Family Pharmacy."

"We are looking for you, take him away." The leader waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take him away.

As for the female relatives, they didn't want to do anything, because their superiors ordered them not to arrest the female relatives.

When Xiao Xiuzhu saw that he was taken away, she didn't dare to say a word, she just hid by the side and rejoiced that she was about to escape, a man stepped forward and took out a sign for the leading officers and soldiers to look at, and said in a low voice. After saying a few words, he left quickly.

The leading officers and soldiers asked people to bring Xiao Xiuzhu along: "Take this one too."

"Don't catch me...help me..."

...

Mu Zhaozhao spent most of these two days with his mother.

Fortunately, there are not many other things in the Meng family, except that there are many doctors. Now Yu Wanniang's wound has healed a lot, and the baby in her stomach is fine.

The best news is that Meng Yu also hurried back, and when he heard that his mother and daughter-in-law had almost had an accident, his face turned darker than the bottom of the pot in an instant.

Immediately after a simple grooming, he personally accompanied Yu Wanniang, feeding water, feeding medicine and rubbing medicine, etc., all done by himself.

Mu Zhaozhao was forced to watch him show affection, and his teeth were sour. He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply abdicated and gave way to Xian.

She had just returned to her yard when she heard the servant girl outside saying that the crown prince had arrived, and she wanted to know if they had found out who was behind the scenes, so she went up to meet him: "Cousin, why do you have time to come back today?"

In the three days after the accident, he didn't come back, as if he had taken root in the Ministry of Punishment, and he only asked Ling Xiao to come back to spread the word if something happened.

Now seeing his faint dark circles, you can tell that he has not had a good rest.

I also wondered in my heart: Is it possible to come back to rest after checking it out?
"I have something to tell you." Qin Mu sat on the armchair in the living room, took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and said to Mu Zhaozhao, "Let your maid bring me a bowl of shredded pork noodles."

"Mint, why don't you go quickly." Mu Zhaozhao sat opposite him and asked curiously, "Did the person behind the scenes catch it?"

"No, from the day of the accident, several men from the Wang family disappeared, and the ones left behind were all worthless."

"I really can't find anything now. Some people suggested that all the male members of the Wang family be arrested to see if the rest of the female family members can rush to the doctor."

Of course, Qin Mu felt that the concubines and grandchildren of the Wang family who didn't know what happened were all abandoned.

But now that the case has not progressed, it doesn't matter if they want to investigate more strictly.

What made it hard for him to say was that Mu Zhaozhao's own father and uncle were also arrested.

What is even more unspeakable is that Mu Youde's stepmother was worried that Mu Youde would catch a cold, so he prepared a cuckold for him.
