The four rooms of the Shu family were in chaos, and they didn't even notice when Shu Qingniang left. When the doctor announced that there was no way to return to heaven, when Shu Fang remembered to ask Shu Qingniang to settle the score, there was no trace of her.

Shu Fang fell to the ground, and ordered with a pale face, "Go to the gate of the city to block people, and you must 'invite' the third aunt back."

The servants were frightened by Shu Fang's ferocious appearance, they didn't dare to neglect, and ran out scrambling and crawling.

But as soon as Shu Qingniang got out of Shu's house, she got into the carriage and told people to leave quickly. When the people from Shu's family chased them to the gate of the city, Shu Qingniang walked far away.

She opened the curtain, looked at the receding trees outside, and laughed nervously until she couldn't breathe. The servants and coachman in the same carriage were all silent and bowed their heads, pretending that they didn't hear.

Forget about the coachman, the nanny who followed Shu Qingniang was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, she was just ordered to stop the servants of the Shu family, she really didn't expect the wife to be so ruthless, and directly pissed off the aunt to death.

Out of the corner of her eye, she carefully glanced at Shu Qingniang, thinking of the life her wife had lived in these years, but felt that it was justifiable,

She is a servant of the Zhou family, but she served Shu Qingniang by her side after she married into the Zhou family. Outsiders only thought that if Shu Qingniang married the Zhou family, even if she had no power, she would have a lot of money and live the life of a head wife. It's not going anywhere.

But I don't know that because the wife doesn't talk to the Shu family, and the Shu family blindly oppresses the Zhou family, the master and the old lady are extremely dissatisfied with the wife. Not only the old lady tortures her whenever she finds an opportunity, but the master also beats and scolds her frequently. .

The wife lost four children in the first ten years since she entered the house. The current eldest son and the third lady are still very easy to keep. The eldest son was carried to the old lady when he was born. No one in the house can talk to the wife except the third lady. .

Mammy sighed, but the third lady was angered by the master because of the incident five years ago, so she casually married a businessman in her thirties as the second wife, and the wife was still reluctant to bear the hardships of the uncertain life for the third lady. , not only took out his own money to do business for the son-in-law, but also risked being scolded by the master to use the Zhou family's contacts to let the son-in-law stay by his side to run the business, thus avoiding the separation of mother and daughter.

But even so, the wife became more and more terrifying, often sneered and kept silent, even if the eldest son and the third lady came to pay their respects, it would not work.

Nanny subconsciously kept her distance from Shu Qingniang, for fear that she would go crazy and affect her.

Shu Qingniang returned to the Zhou family's farm in the outskirts of Beijing in a happy mood, and said to Master Zhou with sparkling eyes: "The old lady is dead."

"What?" Master Zhou looked at her in astonishment.

Shu Qingniang laughed happily, and shared with him: "The old lady is dead, and now the fourth house of the Shu family should be busy with the funeral."

Master Zhou regained his energy, he took a deep look at Shu Qingniang, and beckoned to the nanny who followed her to Shu's house. He didn't care how Mrs. Shu died, he just wanted to know if it was true or not.

The nunnery pondered for a moment and said: "The servant was guarding the door at the time, and rushed in after hearing the commotion inside. At that time, Mrs. Shu's eyes were wide open, and she was indeed out of breath." Madam asked someone to invite the doctor, maybe the doctor has the art of recovery."

Shu Qingniang sat on the side, drank a sip of tea, said with a light smile, "There will be no recovery technique, I know, she is dead."

Master Zhou waved his hand to get the nanny back, then turned to Shu Qingniang and said, "You'd better tell the truth, if the Zhou family can get away from Jinhua, for Da Lang's sake, you will still be my first wife."

Shu Qingniang smiled, and didn't care too much. Mr. Zhou was unlucky. His first few children were all girls. She didn't give birth to his eldest son until she gave birth to his daughter, and lost two more. After giving birth to four or five daughters, she gave birth to a concubine son, who was a little older than her son, and extremely stupid, but now her son had already started to take over his business, and his position was very stable, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

And her daughter is also held in the palm of her son-in-law. Although her status is low and her family property is small, her life is quite comfortable. Apart from Shu Qingniang's dissatisfaction with Shu Wanniang's superiority over her, there is nothing in this world worthy of her special Remembered.

So if Mr. Zhou treats her well, she will live. If he treats her badly, at worst, he will take him away with him, and the world will be clean.

Mr. Zhou didn't know what Shu Qingniang was thinking. He was busy making arrangements at this moment. If Mrs. Shu really died, then they must have no way to spare, and the Zhou family could take this opportunity to leave.

Leaving the main road lead, moreover, they also need to transfer their household registration. The most important thing is that their property of the Zhou family has been watched by the Shu family's fourth house. Once they find that they have left, they will notify the officials of Jinhua County Come to obstruct, with the excuse that their Zhou family's taxation is unclear, or find some gangsters to come and tear it apart, with the excuse that there is a dispute that needs to be judged.

Officials protect each other, so their Zhou family was left in Jinhua for two years.

Unless he is willing to cut his tail to survive and give up most of his property, but this is the accumulation of three generations of the Zhou family, how can he be willing?

But now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As soon as Mr. Zhou returned to Jinhua County, he hurried to visit the officials in Jinhua County with the money he had prepared, hinting to them that the old lady of the Shu family had passed away, and that Shu Mingxiang must observe the three-year filial piety period, and asked them if they wanted to recover after three years Shu Mingxiang's cooperation is still with the businessmen who can give them a lot of money now.

The officialdom is changing rapidly, anyone who is a little bit smarter will not choose to wait for Shu Mingxiang, but the officials in Jinhua County are not vegetarians, a few people conspired to conspire to take away nearly half of the property of the Zhou family.

Except for the newly appointed county magistrate, all the big and small officials under him were given some, and the main officials got the most. It was almost because they had more money than they had accumulated for three generations, which made them jealous. Fortunately, they were still a little sensible. I was afraid that the Zhou family would be forced too far, so it was a pity to let the Zhou family leave.

Even though Master Zhou felt distressed, he had to compromise and gave up nearly half of his family property. It was better than being dragged to death by the Shu family, or being conspired by them to steal most of the family property, right?

The Zhou family hurriedly packed up and saluted, and invited the escorts to help escort the family. The family set off to the south, and even his third son-in-law and his third daughter followed them, planning to settle down in Fujian.

By the time Shu Qing and Shu Mingxiang approached Mrs. Shu's door for her burial and funeral, the Zhou family had already fled.

Shu Qing thought that the barrier he had laid out for two years was broken, so he didn't come up in one breath and pouted angrily.

Shu Mingxiang looked at his father who was being carried back by the boy with no expression on his face. He knew that he had been like this all his life. As long as the Queen and Mu's family were around, his chances of getting back together were almost zero.

At this time, the emperor was closing a booklet, sneered, and said, "Jinhua's officialdom should be rectified."

The reason why he has not acted is that as an emperor, it is not good to use the public for personal gain, but it does not mean that he will let go of the past. If they don't die, he will not do anything to them. He still understands the principle of following the trend.
