Chapter 215 - 215 Alarmed



“It’s possible. Otherwise, the county magistrate wouldn’t have arrested her!”

One of the neighbors watched as the bailiff brought Madam Su away. He turned around and saw Madam He kneeling on the ground holding the door frame. He hurriedly went forward to comfort her. “Auntie He, my condolences! You still have a grandson to support!”

Old Madam He knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky. She could not stop her tears from flowing. “Oh my god! I lost my husband and son in my old age. Oh my god! What sin have I committed? Why must you treat me like this?” The neighbor looked at Old Madam He and shed sad tears.

The bailiff brought Madam Su to the government office and reported to Zhou Jia, “Sir, Su Qinniang is here!”

When Madam Su saw Zhou Jia, she started to plead, “Sir, I didn’t kill anyone. I’m innocent!”

Zhou Jia glanced at Madam Su and said to the bailiff, “It’s getting dark. Bring her down and lock her up.”

“Yes, sir.” The bailiff brought Madam Su down. Zhou Jia felt that there were not enough staff and could not wait for the state government to send more constables.

Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian returned to the back office. Mr. Qian gave Li Yu a thumbs up and said, “Madam, Wang Daqiang’s throat was indeed blocked by tin and he suffocated to death.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “I just happened to have heard some folklore. It’s a good thing that I can help you.”

Doctor Wen also said, “Actually, there’s some basis for some folklore. Just like how the folk remedies that we doctors know, and the treatment of the previous witch doctors, will also enlighten us when we encounter difficult illnesses. Xiao Xi, you can take a look at those strange stories when you solve cases. It should be enlightening to your train of thought.”

“I’ll remember.” Zhou Jia agreed respectfully. Li Qing looked at Zhou Jia and asked curiously, “Brother-in-law, did that woman confess? Why did she want her husband to die? And she used such vicious methods.”

Zhou Jia shook his head and said, “I haven’t interrogated her yet.”

Yu Niang walked to the living room and reported, “Young Master, Young Madam, you can eat now.”

Doctor Wen stood up. “Alright, let’s go eat first. It won’t be too late to review the case tomorrow!”

Li Yu remembered that she hadn’t seen Xiaoyu since she came back. She asked Zhou Jia curiously, “Is Xiaoyu’s morning sickness serious? Did you ask Mr. Zhou to give her a prescription?”

Ruyi smiled and said, “Young Madam, Xiaoyu and Ah Wei went to stay in the manor outside the city. No one went to tell them that you were back! After she took the medicine Sir prescribed, her morning sickness was alleviated.”

After the few of them sat down in the dining room, Old Madam Liu held the braised beef and said to Li Yu, “Young Madam, it’s rare to see someone selling your favorite braised beef. There are also Old Master’s favorite orchid beans. They’re crispy.”

Doctor Wen happily took the orchid beans from the plate. “Alright, serve the dishes. You guys go eat too. We’ll do it ourselves.”

“Yes!” Old Madam Liu, Aunt Zhang, and the others knew that Li Yu and the others didn’t like to be waited on. After serving the dishes, they left.

The few of them had dinner happily. Zhou Jia and Li Qing drank some wine with Mr. Wen and sat in the living room to listen to Li Qing talk about what happened when they returned to their hometown.

Only when everyone heard that the Hu family had been exiled did they feel that they had vented their anger. Doctor Wen smiled and said, ” If one is arrogant, there will be trouble. If one does too much evil, one will suffer for it. You have to have good intentions and accumulate blessings to benefit your family and descendants.”

Mr. Qian smiled. “Mr. Wen is right. A good family should be grateful!”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, who was leaning against the chair and dozing. He said to Doctor Wen worriedly, “Sir, is it okay for Yu’er to sleep like this?”

Mr. Wen smiled and said, “It’s fine. Most pregnant women are sleepy in the early stages. They will get better in a few days. Xiao Xi, take your wife to rest!”

“Okay! Sir, we’ll go rest first.” Zhou Jia brought Li Yu back to her room and got hot water. After letting her wash up, he looked at Li Yu’s dazed appearance and hugged her to sleep.

After Li Yu got up, she realized that Zhou Jia had already gone to the government office. Li Qing had also accompanied Mr. Wen to the street for a volunteer medical consultation.

Seeing that the sun was shining, she returned to her room and took out the corn seeds from her space. She asked Yu Niang to take the seeds out to sun in the courtyard.

Yu Niang looked at the corn seed and asked Li Yu curiously, “Madam, what seed is this? It’s so big. Can it be eaten?”

Li Yu thought to herself, Of course, it can be eaten. Not only is it resistant to drought, but the yield is also not bad.

“The person who brought the seeds said that it’s edible! Let’s try planting it this year. If the yield is high, there will be more seeds.”

When Zhou Jia arrived at the front office, the bailiff came over to report, “Sir, the Silver Craftsman at the end of the street of the Wang family goes by the surname Wu. He arrived in Qing Chuan two years ago. He’s a man in his twenties with a pair of flirtatious eyes. I can tell at a glance that he’s not a serious person.”

When Zhou Jia heard this, he thought to himself, I have to find someone to test him. Yu Niang should be able to do it.

“Wang Cheng, get everyone to watch him secretly. Don’t let him escape.”

“Yes, sir.” Wang Cheng agreed and went to monitor the silversmith.

When Zhou Jia returned to the back office, he saw Li Yu, Yu Niang, and Aunt Zhang hanging things in the courtyard. He told Li Yu about the news reported by the bailiffs and his plan. Li Yu glanced at Yu Niang and Aunt Zhang and smiled. “I understand. You want to trick him to show his true colors!”

“Madam knows me the best.” Zhou Jia smiled and said to Yu Niang, “Yu Niang, Aunt Zhang, I want you to go to the silversmith shop and deliberately reveal the news to test the silversmith’s reaction.”

Yu Niang and Aunt Zhang looked at Li Yu and Zhou Jia and said in unison, “Madam, Young Master, can we do it? We don’t want to delay the matters in the government office.”

Li Yu looked at the two of them and encouraged them with a smile. “Aunt Zhang, Yu Niang, believe in yourself. Let me tell you, just like how we usually gossip, the two of you will go to the Silversmith Shop one after another. The two of you…”

The two of them smiled when they heard that. “Sigh! It’s just like gossip. Let’s go!”

Yu Niang and Aunt Zhang returned to the house to get their jewelry. They took out two silver accessories each and walked out toward the shop one after another.

At the end of the street, Yu Niang saw a small shop. A young man was busy in the shop. She thought to himself, “This must be Silver Craftsman Wu.”

Yu Niang walked into the shop. Silver Craftsman Wu looked up and saw Yu Niang. His eyes lit up as he thought to himself, What a beautiful woman.

Silver Craftsman Wu looked at the two old silver accessories in Yu Niang’s hand and asked with a smile, “Sister, do you want to buy silver accessories or melt them and change the style?”

Yu Niang smiled shyly and said, “These two pieces of jewelry are too old. One of my sisters said that Master’s skills are good, so I brought them to you to have the style changed.”
