Chapter 126 Secret

Magistrate Chen waved his hand, "My wife has the final say on these trivial matters."

Zheng Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you very much, sir. I'll take the decision now."

 After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zheng turned to look at Gu Dechang, "I wonder if Mr. Gu is satisfied with the compensation of two hundred taels of silver to Mr. Gu?"

Gu Dechang is also a person who accepts things when they are good. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zheng."

Seeing that Gu Dechang agreed, Mrs. Zheng turned around and told Mrs. Zhang, "Go and get two hundred taels of silver."

 Mrs. Zhang received the order and turned to go to the backyard. Soon, she led the maid out with two hundred taels of silver.

Gu Defang felt uneasy and asked softly: "Lao San, do we really accept it?"

Gu Dechang whispered back: "Take it."

 Mr. Zhang took the silver from the maid's hand and brought it to Gu Dechang.

Zheng said: "I'm really sorry, please accept it, Mr. Gu."

Gu Dechang bowed his hands towards Mrs. Zheng and said, "I will accept this money on behalf of Shopkeeper Wang and Gu Chengjiao of Suxin Rouge Shop. It is a shock to them. Thank you to the county magistrate and my wife."

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can I take Shopkeeper Wang and Gu Chengjiao back? "

Magistrate Chen waved his hand and said: "Of course."

Gu Dechang accepted the money, bowed together with Gu Defang, came out of the courtroom, and waited for Shopkeeper Wang and Gu Chengjiao at the door.

Magistrate Chen returned to the backyard and complained to Mrs. Zheng: "Peiqin, why did you give me two hundred taels of silver? And why did you let me go?"

Zheng handed the paper to County Magistrate Chen and said, "Master, take a look at this first."

 “What is this?” County Magistrate Chen glanced at Mrs. Zheng and lowered his head.

Ms. Zheng took the teacup handed over by Mrs. Zhang, took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and waited for Magistrate Chen.

"Have you checked? Who did this?" County Magistrate Chen raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zheng.

Zheng shook her head and said: "We haven't had time to check yet. Judging from the above content, the other party knows everything about us. If things break out today, we will be the only ones who suffer."

Magistrate Chen slapped the paper on the table, tugged on his goatee angrily and said, "This matter must have been done by Mr. Wang County Cheng! In the court today, he targeted me everywhere."

Zheng shook her head in disapproval, "Probably not. Wang County Cheng can't reveal Aunt Xing's identity clearly without any discrepancies."

Magistrate Chen looked at Zheng and asked, "Who could that be?"

Zheng Shi shook her head and said: "I don't know who I am. Master, Aunt Xing is a disaster and cannot be kept."

Magistrate Chen raised his head and looked at Zheng, with a cold look in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Why can't you keep me? Zheng Peiqin, what do you mean?

 You don’t know that she has my son in her belly? Or are you jealous? You are going to be jealous, you are going to give me a baby.

As long as you can give me a son and a half daughters, will I care about other women?

By the way, you were the one who revealed the story about Aunt Xing, right? Yes or no? You don’t want me to be nice to you, right? "

“Master, master!” Aunt Xing shouted and rushed in while crying.

Magistrate Chen turned to look at Aunt Xing, who was running into the house with her big belly in her arms, and hurriedly greeted her, "Xinghua, slow down! What's going on? Who bullied you?"

Aunt Xing threw herself into Magistrate Chen’s arms, weeping so hard, and said intermittently: "Master, Aunt Mao is missing. I can’t find Aunt Mao in the slave family."

"Mrs. Mao? You're fine. Why are you missing? Maybe you have gone out to do some business and will be back soon. Okay, don't cry." County Magistrate Chen comforted her warmly.

Aunt Xing shook her head and said: "No, Aunt Mao won't go out. If she goes out, she will definitely report it to Mingnu's family.

 Sir, something must have happened to Aunt Mao. Master, can you help me? The slave family cannot live without Aunt Mao. In this mansion, apart from the master, it is Aunt Mao who treats the slave family well. "

“Okay, okay, I’ll send someone to find her. Don’t cry.” County Magistrate Chen comforted Aunt Xing while wiping her tears.

 The two hugged each other as if no one was around, which made Zheng's eyes hurt.

"There's no need to look for it, I've already asked someone to deal with Mao." Zheng said coldly.

After hearing this, Aunt Xing's eyes darkened and she fainted gorgeously in Magistrate Chen's arms.

Magistrate Chen quickly hugged Aunt Xing and shouted in a panic: "Xinghua!"

"Are you dead? Why don't you come over and help." County Magistrate Chen roared at his servants.

  The servant looked at Mrs. Zheng and did not dare to come forward.

Magistrate Chen turned his head and glared at Mrs. Zheng, "If the child in Xinghua's belly is going to be good or bad, I will never end it with you."

 “Master!” Aunt Xing immediately opened her eyes.

 “Are you okay?” County Magistrate Chen asked gently.

Aunt Xing shook her head and said, "Thank you, sir. Nothing happens to my family."

Magistrate Chen said to Aunt Xing: "You go back first, I will come over to see you later."

Aunt Xing looked at Mrs. Zheng, nodded aggrievedly and said, "Master, come here earlier, I'm afraid."

 County Magistrate Chen patted Aunt Xing's hand and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid. You go back first. I'll be here in a moment."

Aunt Xing nodded obediently and walked out of the house, turning her head three times at a time.

After Aunt Xing left, Magistrate Chen turned to Zheng and asked in a deep voice: "You poisonous woman, what do you want?"

Zheng sneered: "What do I want? You don't know what I want?"

Magistrate Chen pointed his finger at Mrs. Zheng and asked, "Mrs. Mao has been serving you for many years, and you just deal with it as you say. You are really a cold-hearted and poisonous woman!"

Zheng raised her chin and looked at County Magistrate Chen proudly, "I have said that I am a poisonous woman. If I don't do something, will I be sorry for my reputation as a poisonous woman?"

Magistrate Chen looked at Zheng's indifferent expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked nervously: "What do you want? I tell you, don't mess around, otherwise..."

Zheng sneered and said: "What else? Do you want to divorce me? That's up to you. Anyway, the old concubine has been disposed of. As for this bitch, I will bear with her until she gives birth to a child. Chen Zhongping, remember you. the words said."

Magistrate Chen glared at Mrs. Zheng angrily, "You jealous woman!"

Zheng sneered and said, "Am I jealous of my wife? Anyone can say this, but you are not qualified to say it."

"I'm not qualified to say it? I have to say it. Zheng Peiqin, you are jealous of women. The more jealous you are, the more I want to take concubines and support my aunt. Aren't you unwilling to marry me? Don't you want me to touch you?"

 As you wish, I will not touch you. There are many women in the world, many younger and more beautiful than you.

 You don’t want to give birth to me a child, there are many women who will give birth to me. I asked you to give birth to a lot of children, and also asked them to call you mother. "

Zheng's face turned livid with anger. She pointed at Magistrate Chen and said, "You, you, you villain, you bastard."

Magistrate Chen leaned back on the soft couch with his arms and legs spread out, and looked at Mrs. Zheng sideways, "I am a villain and a bastard. How can you rely on me?"

You'd better live a sensible life for me and don't offend me. I'm bringing this up here, you'd better not touch Xinghua, otherwise, I'll make you regret it. "

After saying that, County Magistrate Chen sat up straight, picked up Mrs. Zheng's half-drunk cup of tea, drank it, put down the cup, raised his hand to hold Mrs. Zheng's chin, and said fiercely: "We have been married for more than thirty years. .

 Thirty years later, you still like the taste of Tieguanyin, and you always have it in your heart, right?

 For thirty years, I have never been able to live in your heart, right? "

Zheng allowed Magistrate Chen to pinch her chin until it hurt. She did not resist at all, but just looked at him coldly.

When Magistrate Chen let go, Zheng said two words, "Madman!"

Magistrate Chen clapped his hands and said: "You are right, I am a madman. If I were not crazy, would I have kept you by my side for more than thirty years?"

Magistrate Chen gave Zheng a sideways glance and walked away.

After County Magistrate Chen left, Mrs. Zhang walked over from the wall, helped Zheng sit down, and sighed: "Madam, why don't you tell me that he has been living in your heart all these years."

Zheng shook her head and said after a while: "So what if I tell you? He is petty-minded and suspicious. If I tell him, he won't believe it. Forget it, let him do it, as long as he is happy."

 Mr. Zhang is not worth it for Mrs. Zheng, "Old slave is not worth it for Mrs. Zheng!"

Zheng sighed and said: "Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, so what else can I do? Life is always moving forward day by day, so just live it with one eye closed."

"What should I do here, Aunt Xing? Just forget it?" Mrs. Zhang asked tentatively.

Zheng rubbed her temples and said: "That old guy is gone. That **** can't make any waves. People usually stare at her, but don't pay attention to the rest.

 I'm not worried about this now, I'm worried about the Gu family. "

 Mr. Zhang's hands froze and she looked at Mrs. Zheng doubtfully, "Gu family? The Gu family who is suing the master today?"

Zheng Shi nodded and said, "With his temperament, he has been defeated by the Gu family today. He will not let it go so easily."

Mrs. Zhang was puzzled and said in confusion: "Isn't today's matter settled? What else do you want?"

Ms. Zheng looked up at Mrs. Zhang and asked, "Didn't you recognize Mr. Gu in the court today?"

 Mr. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zheng in confusion, "That lame Mr. Gu?"

Zheng Shi nodded, "Well, that's him."

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, but still couldn't remember this person, "Madam, is there something wrong with this Mr. Gu?"

Zheng sighed heavily and said, "It seems that you have really forgotten this person. This person is Gu Dechang, a talented man who was famous on Jiangnan East Road ten years ago."

 After Mrs. Zheng reminded her, Mrs. Zhang suddenly said: "That's the one, the old slave really didn't recognize it."

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said, "I don't blame you. Ten years ago, Mr. Gu was still a high-spirited and handsome young man. Now at first glance, he is just a farmer. Alas, things in this world are really going round and round. We met again, what a bad fate!”

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Oh, who says it's not the case? I just don't know if I recognize Mr. Gu."

Zheng leaned back and found a comfortable place to lean on the back of the chair, "Looking at his expression, he should know it. Even if the master didn't recognize him, Master Shi and the others must have recognized him long ago. "

Mrs. Zhang said worriedly: "Well, if this is the case, I'm afraid something will happen again. Ten years ago, Mr. Gu let the master lose his face because of a cultural gathering. The master lost his temper for a long time when he came back. There has been no peace in the house for half a year. . Today, Mr. Gu has lost face again. I wonder what will happen next?”

"He is too small-minded and will retaliate. Because of a literary party, Mr. Gu broke a leg and lost his official career. Oh, it is such a sin to think about it!" Zheng murmured.

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and said, "Did I do this to Mr. Gu's legs?"

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly patted her mouth and said in an apologetic low voice: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

Zheng said softly: "Okay, watch your mouth."

 Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I have written it down."

Zheng Shi sighed and said, "Let people keep an eye on the people around me. If they make any movement, let them call the Gu family. He has already harmed me once, so don't let him harm me again."

Mrs. Zhang bent her knees and responded: "Madam, don't worry, I understand."

Zheng waved her hands and said, "I'm tired, so I'm going to have a rest. If anything happens, you can handle it."

 Mr. Zhang bent her knees and said, "Okay, I will wait for my wife to rest."

On the street outside the backyard of the county government office, Gu Huayu stood up, threw the branch in her right hand to the ground, pinched the peach cake in her hand with her left hand, crushed half of the peach cake into powder, threw it to the ground, and watched the ants struggling carrying peach cakes.

Gu Huayu watched for a while, then looked up at the high wall of the county government office, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and turned around to walk towards Huangji.

 After everyone dispersed, she came here to dig out the ant nest.

Zheng went to the court today to relieve Magistrate Chen from the siege. It was obviously Zheng's impromptu decision.

 Gu Huayu wanted to come and listen to Chen Zhongping and Zheng talking and see their attitudes. She didn't want her to hear the shocking secrets that were unknown to others.

After listening to her mother-in-law's story about her father's leg disease, she was so angry that she wanted to go to the capital to settle the score with Luo Qi. However, she never expected that the real villain was County Magistrate Chen, who was the culprit.

Gu Hua patted the wall in the backyard of the county government office in an annoyed tone, and made a "pop" sound when her palm slapped on the bluestone. The pain caused Gu Huayu to throw away her hands repeatedly.

"Little girl, why are you hitting the rocks?" An old woman asked with a smile when she saw Gu Huayu waving her hands and complaining of pain.

Gu Huayu smiled awkwardly and ran away quickly.

 The old woman’s laughter came from behind, “What a silly girl!”

 Gu Huayu slowed down after running for a short distance, thinking to herself that it would be disrespectful to come and not go back. The real murderer was in Shicheng, so he had to give a good gift in return. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the good intentions of the county magistrate!

Gu Huayu was thinking about what kind of gift to return. Dad injured his leg and lost his official career. It has been ten years. The capital and interest must be calculated clearly. County Magistrate Chen cannot lose money.

As soon as Gu Huayu entered Huang Ji's courtyard, Fugui saw her and bowed to greet her: "Miss Xiaoyu is finally back. You guys are looking for Miss Xiaoyu everywhere."

Seeing Fugui's hurried look, Gu Huayu felt nervous and asked, "What happened?"

Fugui replied: "Miss Chengjiao is injured and is in the living room on the second floor."

After hearing this, Gu Huayu hurried to the second floor. On the corridor, she met Gu Chengjuan hurriedly walking over. Gu Huayu spoke first: "Second sister, where are you going?"

When Gu Chengjuan saw Gu Huayu, she immediately had a backbone, "Xiaoyu is here. I was going to look for you. You go and see the eldest sister quickly. The eldest sister is seriously injured."

"Is the injury serious? Where is it?" Gu Huayu quickened her pace and asked as she walked.
