Chapter 195 Finding the Thief
Chapter 195 Finding the Thief
Another woman appeared at the door. Judging from her age and appearance, Su He guessed that she was Xu Lian'er's mother.
"Master, I was the one who found Wang Qing. No matter what, I plead guilty."
Zhu Yue walked in, and the yamen runners at the door did not stop her.
"Bitch, I treated you well. Yu Niang's mother died when she was 10 years old. From now on, you have the final say in the harem. Why are you like this?"
Xu Wan was so angry that he stood up on the spot. He didn't even take the hand that Chen Zhizhao offered him and went towards Zhu Yue.
Su He immediately turned to look at Manager Wang. Manager Wang did not disappoint her again. He stepped in front of Zhu Yue and blocked Xu Wansheng's way forward.
"Wang Qing, get out of my way!"
How could Manager Wang possibly listen to him? He reached out and pushed Xu Wansheng to the ground lightly.
"You are not allowed to bully Ah Yue."
Everyone present looked at these three people in shock. It was a middle-aged love triangle.
"Adulterer and whore! My Lord, you have to make the decision for me!!"
Xu Wansheng was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. This time he couldn't get up at all. Chen Zhizhao hurriedly helped his father-in-law up, "Quickly find a doctor!"
Xu Lian'er took two steps back in fear, looked at her own mother and Manager Wang, then looked at her father lying on the ground, whom she had called her father for 16 years, and was at a loss as to what to do.
Wang Liang stayed at the edge of Suhe, watching the live broadcast excitedly. Oh my God, he was getting to eat the melon firsthand.
"Sir, I need to inform my wife to come here. As my father-in-law's only child, she must be present."
Chen Zhizhao pleaded with County Magistrate Ge that it was just a theft case and his wife didn't need to come. After all, she was still in confinement and it was still very cold. If she came out, she would be blown by the wind. But now the situation was special and his father-in-law looked like he was about to die, so his wife had to come.
"I agree, Master, you go and pick it up in person."
County Magistrate Ge was more proactive than anyone else. He immediately asked his legal advisor to take it. The legal advisor responded and quickly ran out.
After a while, the middle-aged doctor came again. After carefully examining Xu Wansheng, he said to the magistrate.
"Sir, Master Xu cannot be provoked again, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't live for more than a year."
The doctor's words made Chen Zhizhao even angrier. To be honest, even Su He felt a little guilty, after all, she also benefited from it.
"Someone, move Xu Wansheng to the side to rest."
"Zhu Yue, Wang Qing, do you plead guilty?"
Magistrate Ge slammed the gavel angrily and shouted at the two men.
"I plead guilty."
Zhu Yue and Wang Qing both knelt on the ground.
"Tell me where the stolen things are and tell me the truth. Otherwise, not only the two of you will be held accountable, but Xu Lian'er will also be held accountable."
Zhu Yue panicked and kowtowed to the magistrate, begging for mercy, "Sir, it's all my fault. Lian'er has nothing to do with it. Sir, please let her go."
County Magistrate Ge frowned and was about to speak.
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"How shameless! Since you like Steward Wang, why don't you run away with him? You're not going to say that you can't bear to leave your daughter, are you? Take your daughter with you!"
Wang Liang looked at his cousin in confusion as she fired at Zhu Yue. What was going on? Did his cousin also have a role to play?
"What do you know? You think I don't want to? I signed the indenture and I'm no longer free. I'm called a concubine, but I'm just a slave. How can I leave?"
Zhu Yue looked at Su He angrily, as if she felt that Su He looked down on her.
"Oh? You mean if you were free, would you be willing to give up everything and reunite with your lover and daughter and their family and run away?"
Su He stared at Zhu Yue, and Wang Qing also looked at Zhu Yue with anticipation in his eyes.
Zhu Yue was stunned, pursed her lips, clenched her hands, lowered her head and remained silent.
"There is no if, sir. All the mistakes are my fault. Please don't blame my daughter."
Su He suddenly became angry. She sneered and spoke without restraint.
"You just can't bear to do it. Why are you pretending to be a loving mother? You are just greedy for Xu Wansheng's wealth and don't want to suffer with Wang Qing. I think Wang Qing stole Xu Wansheng's money because of your instigation. You took the initiative to stand up and say that it was all your fault, but it was because your affair with Wang Qing was about to be exposed. Instead of waiting for others to expose it, it's better to stand up yourself."
"In fact, you know very well that with Wang Qing's personality, he will definitely take on everything. By then, you will be able to take Xu Wansheng's money and live a carefree life with your daughter without any harm."
"It just so happens that you don't like Xu Wansheng's relatives either, and think they are poor. Xu Wansheng is old, and it will be difficult for him to make money in the future. If the 20 taels go into Yu Niang's pocket, you will never have another chance. So, you planned all this."
Everyone present was staring in amazement as Su He judged Zhu Yue like a judge.
"You actually don't love anyone but yourself. Don't talk about selling your body indentures. No one wants to hear that. Your daughter was harmed by you. I believe that Yu Niang must be a good girl who is generous, decent and smart. Otherwise, how could she marry into the wealthy Chen family? And your daughter Xu Lian'er is average looking and even more annoying. My sister just had never seen a fishing net before, but she was insulted by Xu Lian'er and told us to get out. What kind of mother you have, what kind of daughter you will have."
"Since you signed the indenture, you probably didn't think about letting Xu Wan live, right? Otherwise, even if you get the silver, you won't be able to spend it. If Xu Wansheng dies, will your indenture fall into Yu Niang's hands? Xu Wansheng is so angry that he's vomiting blood. Are you happy in your heart?"
Zhu Yue endured it at first, until Su He talked about her lifeline and she had not yet received her indenture contract.
"You're talking nonsense! What can I do? You don't even know what it means to be helpless."
"Oh my, you have it so hard. Xu Wansheng gave birth to a daughter and she got money, and Steward Wang took care of her personally. If anything goes wrong, they will cover it. But you wear silk and satin every day and eat delicacies from land and sea. Food is served and clothes are provided. This life is too boring. I only hate that I have a miserable life and have sold myself into the government since I was young. None of this is what I want. God, why do you treat me like this? Fate is so unfair!!"
"Puch."
Everyone around laughed out loud. Zhu Yue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stared at Su He viciously, as if she wanted to eat her.
After Su He finished speaking, she felt much better, and then she realized something was wrong. Damn it, she forgot that this was a court.
Su He turned around and looked at Magistrate Ge nervously, "Please forgive me, Lord. I have overstepped my bounds."
Magistrate Ge's eyes were full of smiles. "Well, step aside."
"Wang Qing, you still don't want to confess?"
Wang Qing looked carefully at Zhu Yue beside him and Xu Lian'er opposite him.
"Sir, the silver is still there. I used the silver I saved over the years to bribe the crew. Lao Dao owes me a life. I asked him to do this."
