I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 130

"That makes sense. The value of houses in the capital has always increased." Shen Xiaoye suddenly thought of something and said, "It is said that Lady Zhu's father had a unique vision and bought a lot of land when Taizu built the capital.

Before he died, he divided several houses among his two daughters. "

"What's so unique about that! The son-in-law you choose is still a wolf from Zhongshan." Shen Cungeng disagreed.

Shen Xiaoye: I was speechless.

"Meow..." The cry of the little black cat broke her little embarrassment.

She saw the little guy jump off the kang and run to open the door, so she hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Is something serious wrong with the cat?"

"There's some noise next door." The little black cat rushed out the moment she opened the door.

Shen Xiaoye thought about it and decided to go to the small garden at the back to take a look.

Shen Cungeng saw the two kids leaving in a hurry and was very confused: "Fourth Uncle, what are they doing?

The kitten doesn’t look like it’s in a hurry to pee.”

"Don't worry about it. Your suggestion is a good one. We can look for it in the markets on both sides these days. The officials probably won't have a holiday so early.

The houses here are close to the imperial city, with Shuntian Mansion in front and a car cleaning factory on the right. They are generally not easy to buy, but Nanbei Juxianfang is still worth a look. "Shen Changsui also plans to buy a property in Beijing. The family has enough money, and buying a house is currently a good way to preserve value.

With his support, Shen Cungeng sat closer and started discussing the nearby neighborhoods.

The uncle and nephew were talking about buying a house. Shen Xiaoye followed them to the alley and heard a lot of people talking next door.

"Be careful, that's the master's favorite bottle."

"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, the books are all packed. Shall we move in now?"

"Move, you keep watch over there, serve the young master well and don't come over again."

"Uncle Fu, are you leaving everything in the kitchen for the next customer? That's a shame."

"What are you leaving behind? Take everything away except the cooking pot and stove."

……

Shen Xiaoye looked up and asked the little black cat on the wall: "Little cat, are they moving?"

"Yeah, there are a lot of things." The little black cat jumped down and sent her a message: "Do you want to go to the door to take a look?"

"Go." Shen Xiaoye patted the snow off its feet, picked it up and walked away.

As soon as I walked out of the second gate (the hanging flower gate), I saw my great grandmother standing at the kitchen door and asked, "It's time for dinner, what are you doing?"

"Toilet." After saying that, she walked quickly to the right. After a few breaths, she turned back and saw that her great-grandmother was not watching her. She walked quickly towards the moon-shaped door on the left.

After a moment, she opened the door and looked towards the neighbor's house to the west.

There were already two mule carts loaded with furniture at the door of Madam Zhu's house, and the servants were checking the ropes.

She was still thinking whether Mr. Geng rented or sold the house when a middle-aged woman came over from the east. "Miss Shen."

"Mrs. Zhu." Ever since Shen Xiaoye learned that the hostess of her eastern neighbor was surnamed Zhu, and that she had a henpecked and taciturn scholar husband, a pair of lovely and clever children, and that she managed the home and outside in perfect order, she began to feel a little worried.

Mrs. Zhu probably doesn't even know that there is such a person among her neighbors.

Mrs. Zhu stood outside the door with her, watching the fun openly, "The Zhu family has only moved in two years, and the maids have offended most of the neighbors.

What a pity that such a proud and arrogant lady was blinded by a vicious wolf.

As soon as she was imprisoned, the man sold her new property. "

She gestured for her to take two steps outside and see if the neighbors on both sides had opened their doors and were looking over here.

Shen Xiaoye really saw that within this half mile, all the neighbors had people standing in the alleys.

She was a little surprised, "The landlord didn't write about herself?" But after asking, she felt it was unnecessary.

Mrs. Zhu chuckled and said, "If it's written on the dowry list, can Geng still be sold?

People had coaxed her into having all the names written on them early on, even giving the beautiful excuse of "for the sake of future children and grandchildren".

It is said that Mrs. Zhu sold all the four houses left by her parents, except the one her parents had always lived in, to support her husband's writing.

The paper should be from Xuancheng, the ink should be from Shexian, the pens should be bought in bundles, and the inkstone should be either Taohe inkstone or Chengni inkstone.

After my husband was invited to the study of a scholar once, he never dared to go again. Tsk tsk!"

Shen Xiaoye sighed, "Alas, I don't know if she can come out before the New Year.

I heard that apart from Young Master Zhou, she has no other relatives.

If I had a child, I wouldn’t be so alone.”

"Child? What's the use of a child with that kind of thing?

When she gets divorced in the future, she can marry someone who understands her feelings. It won’t be too late to have another child.” After Mrs. Zhu finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses and looked at her. Why did she regret telling such things to a child?

Perhaps it was because the words this girl said to wake Madam Zhu up in the court that day did not sound like those of a child at all?

She coughed twice and said, "Dinner is still cooking at home, I'll go home first."

"Take care." Shen Xiaoye felt that she interrupted the topic very suddenly. After watching her leave, he and Xiao Xuanmao saw two cars heading west, and then went home.

Little Black Cat sent her a message: "Do you want to go and take a look?"

She shook her head and locked the door: “No need, I hope Lu Guan can find out something.

Now that I think about it, it would be better if Aunt Yi was here, after all, it is not appropriate to go into the women's prison to check Lu Guan's pulse."

……

However, she didn't know that when Lu Guanxun went to Zhou Jijiu to tell him about his suspicions, Zhou Jijiu, who had never shown up, immediately asked his second wife to investigate in person.

So while the doctor was taking his pulse, Lu Guan waited outside the prison the whole time.

After waiting for half an hour, the Zhou family's maid hurried up to greet him and said, "Please, Master Lu, please invite the prefect or the magistrate."

Lu Guan’s eyes lit up: “Okay.”

Not long after, the prefect, the prosecutor, and even the prefect's assistant came along. This cell was given special care, it was cleaned and had a charcoal fire.

Everyone heard with their own ears the two most skilled doctors in internal medicine in the capital say: "Drinking contraceptive medicine all year round has led to infertility."

"Damn Geng Shiyong, he switched my second daughter's medicine!" Nanny Zhang no longer called her Madam at this time. She was so angry that she wanted to kill Mr. Geng.

Zhou Jijiu's wife sighed and said to the pale-faced Madam Zhu, "Madam Zhu, do you want to divorce or break up?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Nanny Zhang shook her vigorously and said, "Girl, girl, don't be silly anymore.

He lied to you for seven years, seven years! Maybe he had more than one mistress, and someone had given birth to his child."

"What Mrs. Zhang said is very likely true." Lu Guan thought that some people have no lower limit.

Madam Zhu then slowly spoke: "Yi Jue!"

Zhou Jijiu's wife immediately asked the maid for a complaint and presented it to the prefect, saying, "I am suing Geng Shiyong on behalf of my son for deceiving him into marriage and plotting to murder Zhu's second wife."

“This government has accepted the case and the trial will begin in the lobby tomorrow.

Come, get the ticket and pass it to Geng Shiyong." The prefect gave the order directly, and the captain of the police responded.

Lu Guan looked at Zhou Wenchen's stepmother, who seemed to be a well-educated person and willing to help. He wondered if he could persuade this boy to find a supporter at home.
