Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 52

The dead cat was a mother cat raised by a cook who had given birth to a kitten for more than a month. It had just started to eat, and its coat color was soft and shiny. The maids and servants at home liked it when they saw it. .

The old lady picked up the Buddhist beads that she had put down and turned them around again. After a long while, she said, "Take it outside tomorrow and let the doctor test what it is!"

Lu Yun responded, looking at the old lady's solemn face, she couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart, this is still in the old lady's Ronghuayuan, where the whole family is sitting at the table to eat, and someone dares to be so ruthless!It's not just Mrs. Biao who wants to be poisonous!

Luyun packed a little in a small jar, wrapped it tightly with a handkerchief, and took it to the medical clinic outside. He only said that he poisoned the cat at home, and he didn't know what was mixed in!
The old doctor raised his eyelids slightly, this bird's nest is affordable for rich people, and he even used it to feed cats, tsk tsk tsk!

The old man fiddled with it all morning, but he didn't find any trace of poison, but the girl took it so carefully, she must have eaten something to death. The little girl still said truthfully: "This old man is ashamed, this, uh!"

When Luyun saw what the old doctor said, he expected that it would not be found out, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Seeing that the old doctor suddenly cut off the conversation, holding the small pot in surprise, he couldn't help but stood over and asked, "Did the old man see What's up?"

"Little girl, there is indeed something wrong with this thing. You can put it here and let me study it for a few days!" The old doctor likes to think about medicinal herbs, intractable diseases, etc. for a while, looking at the slightly golden The bright soup is reluctant to let go.

Seeing that the old man saw the problem, Luyun felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Then please trouble the old man, I will come back in five days to take a look, there is no rush, you study it slowly!"

At the end of the month, the courier from the capital entered the Taizhou government office again accompanied by the Xiao Xiaoshuo wind. Master Qian led the courier to the post house to entertain him.

The chief follower of the governor of the state has been staring at that door for an hour, and has listened to it for a long time, but he has not heard any movement inside. He started as a book boy and has been with the master of the state for more than ten years. It's rare to see such a heavy expression on your lord's face. Just now, as soon as the messenger left, your lord went back to the back room and entered the study with a solemn expression.

At noon, Mrs. Ming sent someone to ask Mr. Ming where to eat lunch. The little maid looked at Chang Sui's embarrassed face, and said coquettishly: "Just pretend in front of me, who doesn't know that you are following me?" My lord has been there for many years, can asking a question still trouble you?"

The long follower hurriedly put his finger on his lips, "Shh, my lord is thinking about the case, please keep your voice down!"

Seeing how cautious he was, the servant girl didn't dare to laugh any longer, and said in a low voice: "Then I'll go back and tell Madam that the Lord is busy, and let Madam prepare first."

Looking at the servant girl's back, Chang Sui couldn't help feeling that a famine was starting to start in his belly, he looked up at the sky, and swallowed.

Ming Hao stared at the scroll of bright yellow spread out on the case, and the shock wave in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time. The Wu family, which had been brilliant for a hundred years, fell into dust in a word of the saint.

Not long after, a notice was posted in the city of Taizhou, depriving the Wu family of the royal business title, the patriarch Wu Yuan was imprisoned for five years, and the concubine Yang Xing was beaten back to his original place.It is justifiable for the son of the Wu family to sue his father with his son, and the [-] boards are exempted according to the circumstances. However, the general ethics of father and son, monarch and minister cannot be abolished, and the clan is still deprived of inheritance.

Hearing that Wu Ling didn't need to rest on the board, Zhang Mu hugged the beauty and kissed her hard, and the beauty threw her front paws at her face in disgust.

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, this is, dislike her?For a while, I was a little dumbfounded, and it was the first time I experienced my husband's feelings for a beautiful woman.

The old lady smiled and said: "This cat is really weird, Amu, you will take it with you wherever you go in the future, otherwise such a smart cat will be caught by others, and it will not be sent back!"

"Meow! Meow!" The beauty jumped off Zhang's wooden legs and ran to the old lady's side with her paws spread. Luyun picked it up and handed it to the old lady.

Looking at the beauty's dusty paws, Zhang Mu couldn't bear to see them, and said contemptuously: "Grandma, don't worry about it, those paws are dirty!"

"Meow! Meow!" Is there anyone who would put down your daughter like this! ?

The old lady hugged the little thing in her arms, thinking that if it wasn't for her grandson-in-law, she might be reluctant to let the cat out of the house.Said to Luyun and Luying on one side: "Find me a kitten too!"

"Although the Wu family's property is gone, since Mr. Ming sent someone to come and promise to make up for your mother-in-law's dowry, he will not break his promise. Amu, it's been many years, and I really haven't felt as comfortable as I am today!" The old lady said slowly while stroking the cat's hair.

"Grandmother, as long as my husband is fine! Mother's dowry was bought by you, so you can save it and think about it!" With so much money back, it probably won't stop.

"Silly girl, do you really think that Mrs. Yang still keeps your mother-in-law's dowry after so many years! At most, you can find out two or three things, and it will be great. Master Ming will make up the silver taels according to the dowry list!" the old lady said. Slightly sighed.

When the official of the government office sent Zheng's dowry to Ronghuayuan, the old lady Zheng was still surprised. She accompanied her daughter with a set of carved pineapple wood layered bed and dressing table. The set of jasper bowls and plates is still there, except for some clothes materials and head jewelry missing, there are many big objects. I can't help but look at the yamen servant who brought the things. The yamen servant has a very good attitude after receiving Master Ming's order, and said: "Although the Yang family transported these things out of the Wu Mansion, they did not transport them out of Taizhou City. In the Lianzi Hutong, there is a family surnamed Jiang, who turned out to be Yang's good friend when he was a thin horse. There’s always been traffic, these things are piled up there!”

Zhang Mu lowered his eyes slightly, does that mean that the pair of brothers and sisters in the Wu family have to say hello to each other because of their blood relationship?

The imagination of the people in the market is astonishing, and soon there was a rumor in Taizhou that the thin horse that the master of the Wu family had spoiled for 20 years brought him a green hat, which could really dye the withered grass on Qingzu's grave!

"Oh, this is really retribution! A dignified and elegant wife is disrespectful, and she insists on loving a kiln sister. Isn't retribution unhappy?"

"Poor son of the Wu family, such a filial young gentleman has been wandering for so many years!"

"Hey, you don't know! The young man of the Wu family has changed his surname a long time ago!"

"Hey, there's still this layer?"

When Wu Ling came back from the government office to handle the case, he heard many people talking about it along the way, and felt a little lost. No matter how embarrassing Wu Yuansheng and the Yang family were, the woman who loved her had passed away 13 years ago.

He was also homeless for 13 years.

Looking at the gate of Zheng's house, thinking of the soft person inside, a slight smile appeared on his face, but he met his wife!
At the end of his 13 years of wandering.
