As a medical concubine

Chapter 164
As soon as these words came out, Hua Zhu and Chen Jiao were stunned at the same time. Mother Wu, a half-mature lady, is... the wife of a dignified court official?If she is Lu Gao's wife, what about Chen Jiao?

Liao Zicheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had seen through the clues from the moment he stepped on the threshold.

Chen Jiao was trembling with anger: "You crazy woman! Go back and look in the mirror to see yourself! You are old and ugly, how could it be my husband's wife? I am the wife he is currently marrying!"

Huazhu was shocked, and for a moment didn't know whose words to believe.I have read many stories about wives who abandoned the mess in the story books, but it really happened to me, and I still find it unbelievable.Huazhu walked to Liao Zicheng's side, tugged on his sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice: "Looking at age, Mama Wu is older than Chen Jiao, if Mama Wu is really Master Lu's wife, then she should be the wife of Fa. Does Lord Lu count as stopping his wife and remarrying?"

It is a felony to stop a wife and remarry. Once established, the official position and career will be ruined.

Liao Zicheng stared intently: "Only after the case is filed, investigated, and tried can we determine who is right."

Lu Gao is the official of the imperial court and the deputy commander of the military camp. He is by no means comparable to the children of ordinary officials and eunuchs.If this matter is more serious, it is estimated that it will be troubled by the Yamen.Unless, Wu himself compromises and accepts any arrangement from Lu Gao.

Liao Zicheng looked at Lu Gao: "Let me ask again, what is your relationship with Wu Shixiumei?"

Lu Gao stuffed his panic back to the bottom of his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Humble job has nothing to do with her! I don't know why she admits her mistake!"

"Lu Gao! Lu Gao—you...you..." Wu's tears were like broken beads, "I married you when I was 14 years old, and it has been... more than 25 years, but you said that it has nothing to do with me You are so cruel..."

Hua Zhu frowned: "Mother Wu, I remember you said that your husband was beaten to death by bullies in the capital, is there such a thing?"

"He's not dead...he lied to me so hard...ahahah..." Wu cried out hoarsely, sitting on the ground, her fingers digging into the soil, the skin was worn out, and bright red blood flowed out.

Huazhu blinked, and asked again: "Then Lu Youzhi and Lu Yongfu..."

Wu broke down in tears: "It's our son! The twins I gave birth to in October..."

Hua Zhu secretly sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked Lu Gao: "Master Lu, are you lying when you say that you don't have the information of Lu Youzhi and Lu Yongfu joining the army?"

The birthplace, parents' names, and home address are written on the military information. If Lu Gao is afraid of being discovered and suspected of going to him, he will most likely lie that they are not sergeants in the establishment.

Wu shi sniffed and became angry. Whoever prevented her from engraving her son's name on the martyr's monument would be her sworn enemy!

"Lu Gao, you kill a thousand swords! You killed our son and made them restless under the nine springs. You are going to be struck by lightning! No wonder I have neither a pension nor see my son on the martyr's monument. It's all your fault! You're a thousand-killer..."

"I...I...I really don't understand what you're talking about!" Lu Gao clenched his fists and retorted tremblingly.

Liao Zicheng looked serious, and asked: "Wu Shixiumei, you and Lu Gao have different opinions, and no one else can decide. Do you want to report to the government?"

Wu's crying stopped abruptly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said firmly, "Report! Must report! I want to sue this dog official for abandoning his wife!"

Liao Zicheng said again: "The people sued the officials, and they were hit with [-] boards before trial. Many people were beaten to death like this. Are you sure you want to sue?"

"Sue!" Wu Shi said angrily without even thinking about it, "I will become a ghost to haunt him after I die! Let him die forever!"

Liao Zicheng said indifferently: "Then you should find a litigator early to help you write the pleadings and defend you in court. But I want to remind you that Lu Gao is the son-in-law of Mr. Chen Ge, who is a veteran of the two dynasties and has a high reputation. , the eldest son is Princess Changle's son-in-law, with so many relationships added up, it is almost impossible for you, a commoner, to win the lawsuit."

"Impossible, I have to give it a try! Either I win him and see him get the retribution he deserves! Or I die on the way to sue him, at least I have the face to face my vain death son of..."

Chen Jiao was so angry that she gave Wu a contemptuous look, and said, "I'd like to see, which yamen dares to accept the lawsuit from the emperor's relatives?"

"The officer took over."

Chen Jiao choked, and looked at Liao Zicheng in disbelief: "My lord, you..."

Liao Zicheng didn't look at her, and only said to Hua Zhu: "Help Mama Wu up, she is still the cook of Liuyin Pavilion, and she is not allowed to step out of the courtyard without my order."

This is to guarantee the personal safety of Wu's mother in disguise.Huazhu gave Liao Zicheng a grateful look, and helped Wu back to Liuyin Pavilion.

After leaving Liuyin Pavilion, Huazhu's heart could not be calm for a long time: "No matter whether Lu Gao really stopped his wife and remarried, as long as you accept the lawsuit, you will tear yourself apart with the Chen family." Offending the Chen family may not be the same. Terrible, but what about Princess Changle behind the Chen family?She is the youngest daughter of Empress Dowager Mingde, and she is more favored than King Yan.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Chen Jiao chased after her.She changed into a clean set of clothes, and her expression was much calmer than before. She looked at Liao Zicheng and said earnestly, "Master Admiral, I know that you are highly valued by the Queen Mother, but you are no match for the princess when it comes to your relationship." The princess also has the Order of the Phoenix in her hand. For the sake of your official career, I advise you not to accept this hot potato. We hope that this matter can be resolved in private."

It seems that she already knows the truth.Huazhu wrapped the tassel around his waist, wondering if Liao Zicheng would compromise.

"Thank you Madam Lu for your reminder." Liao Zicheng said something ambiguous as usual, and Liao Zicheng led Huazhu towards the gate of the Admiral's Mansion.

Maybe Chen Jiao didn't understand, but Hua Zhu did. He was never afraid of power, even if it was Buddha's Five Fingers Mountain that was pressing on his head, he would try his best to smash it into scum.

this man...

Huazhu hooked the corners of her lips, and suddenly remembered Nian Jiangzhu's words, her eyes moved, and she wanted to say, "Whether a man or a woman can get along with each other, you should respect yourself, and show me some dignity." She also wanted to say, "My sister told you not to take advantage of me." Cheap, unless you come to propose marriage", but the thought flashed through my mind, but I couldn't say a word.Just let him be in his generous hands, from Liuyin Pavilion to Erjinmen, and then get on the carriage.
