A car accident, our family of three crossed
Chapter 155 The Prefect
In the teahouse directly opposite the gate of the county government office, two middle-aged men were standing with their hands behind their backs in a private room upstairs with an excellent view, watching the hustle and bustle of the county government office opposite.
Only after the lively event was over did the two of them return to the inner room from the window. Zhou Huan poured a cup of tea for the man opposite him, and the other man took it and took a sip.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think about this?" asked the man opposite.
Zhou Huan also poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Zhou Huan is not a government official, I don't want to get involved in government affairs."
"If you don't want to participate, then why am I here? To watch the fun?" The man just listened to his words but didn't believe them at all.
Zhou Huan laughed dryly and said, "Hehe! I thought you might be interested, so I let you know."
The man opposite was no ordinary person. He was none other than Zhao Kunshen, the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture. Zhou Huan was already an old acquaintance of him. Ever since the rumors about the Wan family began to spread, Zhou Huan had sent a letter to invite the prefect to Pingyang County.
"Hmph! Don't talk so nicely. I think you won't do anything without benefits." Zhao Kunshen sneered.
Zhou Huan was not at all embarrassed by having his thoughts exposed. Instead, he smiled and said, "When the time comes, please give me some convenience, sir."
"I knew you, an old man, couldn't hold anything back."
After the Wan family was thrown into prison, within half a day, all of the Wan family’s shops and houses were sealed by the government, and this news caused a sensation in the city.
Zhang Cuiju, who was hiding in a small inn, kept an eye on the movements in the city. She was still frightened and was glad that she had the foresight to escape early. Otherwise, if she had continued to stay in Wan Baolu's private residence, she would probably have been doomed.
Not knowing whether the Wan family could turn things around this time, she still dared not take it lightly. At least she could not return to Xiaoquan Village at this time, so she could only stay in this small inn temporarily. Fortunately, she brought a lot of valuables from her private residence, and with the silver she saved, it was enough for her to live a life without worries.
After the divorce, Mei lived in a house she had received as a dowry. The news that the Wan family's assets had been seized soon reached her.
"Miss, all the people of the Wan family have been arrested and thrown into jail. The shop and the house have been sealed by the government." The maid Xiao He said, feeling scared. "Miss, it's a good thing you cut off your relationship with the Wan family in time, otherwise you would be imprisoned with the Wan family now."
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and prayed to heaven and earth, constantly chanting "Buddha bless you", which made Mei laugh. She herself felt embarrassed again, "Miss, you are really wise."
From just now until now, Mei has been listening to the chattering of her maid Xiaohe, without being able to get a word in.
At this time, another young man came in, panting a little, obviously in a hurry. When he saw Mei, he said, "Miss, it's bad. The master and the mistress heard that the Wan family was sealed up, and now they are bringing people to take back the shop under the banner of taking back the Mei family's dowry assets. They are causing trouble in our shop."
Mei paused while drinking her tea and sneered, "They are really quick." She put down her teacup, stood up, and walked out first, "Let's go, it's time to confront them."
The Mei family was originally a small family that opened a rouge shop to barely make ends meet. When Mr. Mei was young, he was handsome, looked honest, and had the skill of making rouge. By chance, he caught the eye of the Lin family, who also started out as a rouge shop.
The young lady of the Lin family, who was also Mei's biological mother, also fell in love with Mr. Mei at first sight, and later married into the Mei family with a generous dowry. With the support of Lin's generous dowry, the Mei family's business gradually improved, and it was no longer just a small rouge shop, but even involved in more areas.
However, people are always greedy. Even if they are better off, they can't compare to Lin's generous dowry. The Mei family began to secretly plan for the dowry. As Mr. Mei gradually rose to prominence, he gradually became unfaithful and started to keep a mistress. When Lin found out, the mistress had already given birth to a son.
Lin was trapped in the secular rules and had to accept the fact. She brought the concubine back home and made her her concubine. From then on, she suffered from mental illness and became increasingly depressed. She died within a few years. Then, Master Mei could not wait to make that concubine his principal.
The year her mother died, Mei was twelve years old, no longer a little kid who knew nothing. When she reached the age of marriage, Mei secretly made plans and married into the Wan family without the consent of the Mei family, taking the dowry left by her mother...
When I woke up from the distant memory, the carriage had stopped in front of the rouge shop.
In the shop, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged and drinking tea, while a woman in her early thirties was swearing at the worker with saliva flying all over her face. She looked mean and ugly. These two people were Master Mei and his mistress.
Mei sneered and walked in. "What made Auntie so angry?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. Mrs. Mei turned around subconsciously. When she saw the person coming, she was frightened and pointed at Mei, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Ah... you... you... why are you here?"
Mei smiled and said, "What else? Where do you think I should be?"
"You, you were thrown into prison, weren't you?"
Mr. Mei, who was leisurely drinking tea, was so shocked that he almost dropped his teacup. He couldn't understand why the person who should have been imprisoned with the Wan family appeared here.
"Haha, Auntie is quite well-informed." Mei walked over to sit opposite Master Mei, "I didn't go to jail. Are you disappointed? Do you want to know why I wasn't arrested?"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Mei asked as she caught up.
Mei took out the divorce papers from her sleeve and shook them: "Because I've already divorced."
Upon hearing this, Master Mei snatched the divorce agreement and looked at it carefully. This was a real divorce agreement, and he was immediately overjoyed. "Okay, okay, okay, it's good to get a divorce. After the divorce, you will still be the daughter of our Mei family. Let's go home with dad."
As long as the girl returns to the Mei family, the dowry will also go back to the Mei family. Then we will find ways to get the dowry.
But before Mr. Mei could be happy for a while, Mrs. Mei spoke again, "You are wrong. I am no longer the daughter of the Mei family."
Mr. Mei was completely confused. Mrs. Mei took out a piece of paper that looked like a deed and handed it to him. When he took it and looked at it, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He stood up and shouted at Mei angrily, "You actually established a female household?"
