Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

The news of Lu Fanghai's death had come a long time ago, but she still said that Lu Fanghai's life or death was uncertain.

There was a trace of pity in Wu Xiaoliu's eyes.

He said gently, "Don't worry, I'll tell Magistrate Zhong to drive him far away. If he appears in this county again, he will be detained next time."

Du Wenxiu opened his mouth, sighed inwardly, and said:

"Thank you very much, Brother Wu. I don't know when he will be released. I will ask Qi Sanniang at home if she is willing to see him."

Wu Xiaoliu thought that even though Du Wenxiu ran such a big business, he still had some soft-heartedness.

Now, because of Qi Sanniang, he had provoked such a person. Instead of wanting to stay away from her, he even asked her if she wanted to meet him. It turned out to be—

Forget it, you should not criticize your brother’s wife too much.

Wu Xiaoliu told the time and then stood up to say goodbye.

Du Wenxiu sent him back, but did not go back to find Qi Sanniang, but asked someone to call Cheng Hou.

"Have you ever done anything confidential in the master's house before?"

Cheng Hou paused for a moment, not knowing why she asked this, and then said:

"It's not a secret. It's just that the young master is a playboy and did some bullying things."

Du Wenxiu asked carefully: "What kind of bullying is this? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Cheng Hou was feeling uneasy and only mentioned a few things that he could, but Du Wenxiu seemed dissatisfied.

"Since I have kept you here, I want to teach you how to do things. If you just do this, I don't think I can count on you."

Cheng Hou was slightly moved, and said: "Before that family was an official, many of the great things were done with the people in the government office."

"But one time a hunter went to the city to sell goods, and the young master of the previous family took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it at a low price, but the hunter disagreed."

"The young master called a few of us to rob him on the way and beat him half to death. I don't know if he made it home."

Du Wenxiu tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and the light from outside reflected on his face, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

She didn't say anything, and Cheng Hou didn't know what she was thinking. He couldn't help but secretly regret that he shouldn't have told her such a cruel thing.

What if Madam Du feels that she has done such a thing and becomes resentful and dares not employ anyone anymore?

While I was daydreaming, Du Wenxiu's voice came faintly from above:

"I have something for you to do..."

Cheng Hou took the order and went out. Du Wenxiu also returned to the inner courtyard. When they entered, they saw Qi Sanniang coaxing Haisheng to play in the mud, which was covered with saliva.

Turning around and seeing her come in, Qi Sanniang greeted her with a smile.

Du Wenxiu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.

After sitting and playing with Haisheng for a while, Du Wenxiu returned to the main room.

Lu Er Niang was sleeping soundly on the bed. When Du Wenxiu came, she suddenly opened her eyes, very alert.

Du Wenxiu looked a little gloomy and sat down in front of the dressing table.

"Have you settled the matter about Erlang?" Lu Er Niang asked in a softer voice.

Du Wenxiu nodded, looking very uninterested.

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Lu Er Niang asked with concern.

Du Wenxiu turned her head and glanced at her, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: This person still cares about whether she has any worries? Isn't she only concerned about Erlang's safety?

As if she could see what she was thinking, Lu Erniang said with a smile: "After all, you saved me, and you look so obviously worried, can I still pretend not to know?"

Du Wenxiu smiled faintly, curled the corners of his mouth, and said faintly:

"Is killing someone particularly easy for you?"

"You killed someone?" Lu Er Niang looked strange, as if she had thought of something, and asked her.

Du Wenxiu was startled and said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense."

But she looked at Lu Erniang again: "Isn't there a saying that goes, I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me..."

"What you mean is that if you frame someone and cause them to lose their life, isn't that also equivalent to murder?" Lu Er Niang asked this intentionally to tease her.

Du Wenxiu lowered his head and stammered, "About the same."

She would never admit that she had sent Chenghou to do anything.

I don't want to explain it too clearly to Lu Er Niang, so it's fine to keep it vague.

Lu Fanghai is not at home, and he has done something shameful. If he does not cut the Gordian knot quickly, it will be too late to regret it one day when he suffers a great loss because of it.

Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease.

Thinking of Qi Sanniang who caused this incident, I can’t describe how I feel.

After all, she was just a floating duckweed in this chaotic world. She became someone's wife, but was sold by her husband.

Now that she has brought trouble to the family, can I blame her? Can I chase her away?

Forget it, I won’t tell her and just deal with it quietly.

But according to Wu Xiaoliu, this man did not discover Qi Sanniang's trace by accident, but it seemed like someone had deliberately arranged it.

Who on earth is this person who can find out everything about Qi Sanniang, the one who has the least presence in his family, and even set up such a plan...

If I were to be entangled by a scoundrel, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.

Can't get anything done?

A light bulb went off in Du Wenxiu's head, and he got it!

In daily life, they are kind to others and rarely have disputes with neighbors. Even when doing business, apart from Wenyuefang and Wenyuelou, they do not get involved in other industries.

When the business opened, Wu Ziwei came to cause trouble...

Du Wenxiu pursed her lips and thought to herself: Even if she didn't do this, I'm afraid she is involved!

When I thought of this, I also remembered that I had asked someone to investigate Wu Ziwei before, but I forgot about it because of all the things going on these days.

She said hello to Lu Erniang, then turned and left the main room, called Xu Ada, and asked him to go to Wenyue Tower to find Manager Lin.

When Manager Lin arrived, it was just getting dark and the family had just started to eat. After Du Wenxiu heard what Old Man Yang had reported, she didn't even bother to eat and went to the front yard.

A Luo and Qi Sanniang asked her to eat before talking, but she just waved her hand.

Helplessly, a few people picked out some food for her.

"Hasn't the busiest time of the opening already passed? Why are you in such a hurry?"

A Luo couldn't help but mutter that Qi Sanniang had something on her mind, but she didn't say anything.

When Du Wenxiu met Shopkeeper Lin, he didn't bother to be polite and went straight to the point: "I asked you to investigate Wu Ziwei a few days ago. Have you made any progress?"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Guan Baolai. The man recruited by Madam Du is really very useful."

"Oh?" Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel puzzled. She only knew that Guan Baolai was an honest man, and he was cheated out of selling his old house.

What? Could it be that after arriving at Wenyue Tower, he became a treasure in the hands of Manager Lin?

Shopkeeper Lin chuckled and explained it clearly to her.

It turned out that although Guan Baolai sold his house, he did not sit idle at home. He looked for work to do every day, and he would not mind even if it was just odd jobs.

Once it is done, it is handled properly. No matter who the person is, he is polite in his interactions with them, and he has gained a good reputation.
