Reborn after pregnancy, I will torture you and marry you into the royal family

Chapter 17 Dog bites dog

The results of the trial came out quickly. Due to the solid evidence, Zhuang Ming was sentenced to be executed after the fall of the Qiu Dynasty.

It is said that on the day of the sentencing, in addition to Liang Hua and Zhou's witnesses testifying against him, several waves of people also emerged, accusing Zhuang Ming of treating their relatives like animals.

When Wu Ma heard that Zhuang Ming had been sentenced to death, Qiu Hou asked for help, and her whole body collapsed instantly.

At this moment, someone came to the door.

Jin Yu Tang

Mrs. Xiao looked at the visitor with a very unhappy expression.

"Do you think my Xiao family seems to be short of money? I'm asking you to borrow money! Why don't you look in the mirror to see if you have such a big face!"

The visitor was Boss Wu from the pawn shop. He heard the rudeness in the other party's words and his face dropped.

"Mrs. Xiao, you can't rely on the fact that the third master of the house is a court official to belittle and suppress us merchants at will! This is a real sign and fingerprint! If Wu Ma hadn't come to my place, she would have died. I bought more than ten expensive items, and in the name of your Xiao family, I would not advance two thousand taels of silver to her in advance! She said personally that she would give her a jade Bodhisattva by yesterday at the latest. You should pay my debt, but I don’t know why it hasn’t been delivered to me yet! If you don’t believe it, you can confront Mother Wu in person!”

It didn't sound like what he said was false, and Mrs. Xiao's face became even more ugly. How did Wu Ma get those good things? And take it to death!

She seems to remember that she took a fancy to such a jade Bodhisattva from the third daughter-in-law's warehouse. Could it be that Wu's mother intended to give it to Boss Wu?
  This old guy must have had the courage to covet her things! The things she brought from her third daughter-in-law were all very expensive!
  As soon as such an idea came out, Mrs. Xiao was as angry as if she had eaten a firecracker!

"Someone! Bring Ma Wu to me!"

I really have a white-eyed wolf by my side without even realizing it!
  Wu Ma was quickly brought.

Her originally dull eyes suddenly became panicked after seeing Boss Wu.

"Mother Wu! Do you recognize this Boss Wu?"

Hearing that Mrs. Xiao's voice was not as peaceful as before, Wu Ma's heart suddenly sank, her eyes dodge, and she did not dare to face Mrs. Xiao and Boss Wu directly.

Boss Wu couldn't tolerate her shrinking, so he took a step closer, stared at her and asked: "Mother Wu, you said you would bring the Jade Buddha to me as late as last night? I have already advanced you two thousand taels, but when the time comes, Today, your Jade Bodhisattva still hasn’t been delivered to the pawn shop! You are going to break the contract!"

He shook off the certificate in his hand.

Wu's mother was thinking about how to defend herself, but Boss Wu didn't spare her half a cent for the sake of the two having the same surname!

"Here, don't even think about denying it, I've already brought the proof!"

Seeing that she could not deny it, Wu Ma hurriedly knelt in front of Mrs. Xiao and begged for mercy: "Old Madam, this matter is the old slave's fault! The old slave did it for the sake of the dog, please forgive me!"

When Mrs. Xiao heard what she said, she admitted that she had indeed gone to the pawn shop to pawn something, and her heart felt tight!

"You! Did you really steal a dozen of my precious ornaments and pawn them off?!"

Wu Ma kowtowed repeatedly, and blood started to appear on her previously bandaged forehead: "Old madam, please forgive me, and understand my helplessness and sadness as a mother! Ming'er was reported to Liang Hua some days ago When the prefect went there, the old slave was forced to pawn some of your ornaments in order to raise money and smoothen the relationship between the superiors and subordinates! The old slave really didn’t mean it!"

Madam Xiao laughed angrily at her words and felt dizzy.

"You mean, if I don't understand you, it's my wife's fault! You don't even care about your son's virtue! My wife has tried her best to help you keep him alive, and she even paid for it with silver beads. Life! In the end, are you still complaining that I didn’t protect your son?!”

Mrs. Xiao simply became more and more angry as she talked.

"In order to raise money, you came to steal my wife's things. This is not called stealing! Why didn't you tell me if you had a problem? Maybe I could help you solve it! But you just relied on my wife's trust in you to steal from me. Pawn the old woman's things! You, you..."

At this point, Mrs. Xiao felt her eyes darken for a moment, and she almost fainted.

"Mom, what's wrong with you!" Xiao Bihua and Lin Yitong heard about Jin Yutang, and they both happened to rush over. As soon as he arrived, he saw that his mother almost fainted from anger. He rushed forward to support her and gave Wu Ma a deathly look.

"Wu Ma! You thief! We still believe that you didn't steal my sister-in-law's Dongzhu and Jade Hosta. You dared to steal my mother's things, and now you dare to say that you didn't steal my sister-in-law's hosta!"

Wu Ma was speechless.

"Old madam, old madam... don't get so angry, it's my fault! Please punish me, old madam!"

Madam Xiao was so angry that her eyes were filled with stars. She pointed at her tremblingly and said, "Tell me, how many things have you stolen from my old lady and pawned them off!"

Wu Ma shook her head hurriedly: "There are no more, just those ten or so ornaments, nothing else! Please take a closer look, Madam!"

Seeing that the matter had reached this level, Boss Wu was afraid that he would not be able to solve the problem if he held on to Wu's mother, so he directly pointed the finger at the old lady.

"Old madam, it's not that Wu is looking for you, it's just that you see..."

As he spoke, he spread out the loan voucher in his hand and saw that in addition to Wu Ma's signature and fingerprint, there was also a seal on it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Madam Xiao's personal seal.

Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she couldn't speak, and looked at Wu's mother with great disappointment. After a long while he said: "Wu Ma, this certificate with your signature and fingerprint has my approval?"

Wu Ma quickly shook her head. At this time, apart from admitting her mistake, Wu Ma had nothing else to say.

"Old madam, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have dragged the Xiao family into trouble!"

Mrs. Xiao looked at Boss Wu and said, "Boss Wu, you heard me clearly! Although there is my wife's seal on this voucher, it was not stamped on it by my wife's instructions. Naturally, it was not my wife's original intention! This matter , you’d better settle it with her.”

This she is naturally Wu Ma.

However, Wu's mother is now destitute of both her life and property. She failed to save her son and has also emptied her family fortune. Now she cannot afford even twenty taels, not to mention two thousand taels.

"In this case, I have to ask the government for help." Boss Wu has seen this kind of scene many times. At this moment, seeing that Wu's mother is not afraid of boiling water, Mrs. Xiao will not admit it, so he doesn't say much and goes directly Ultimatum.

Upon hearing that she was going to declare customs, Wu’s mother was immediately frightened!
  The son entered the government office but could not get out.

If she goes in too, I'm afraid it will end in the same way!

She doesn't want to enter the government!

"Old madam, I beg you, for the sake of my many years of careful planning for you, please help me give these two thousand taels of silver. I will repay you like a cow or a horse!"

Mrs. Xiao was so happy.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!

Not bothering to talk nonsense to her anymore, he said directly to Boss Wu:

"It doesn't matter, you can take her away."

Wu Ma was immediately shocked and asked quickly:
  "Old madam, do you really want to do something so extraordinary?"

Absolutely? Mrs. Xiao could no longer describe her opinion of Wu Ma at this moment. She only felt that she was blind to keep trusting such an old woman!
  Just as she was about to refute her fiercely, Lin Yitong stopped her and said a few words in her ear.

Mrs. Xiao's expression suddenly turned ugly.
