The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"Oh! Master, how did your hand get hurt like this? I'll go get you a doctor!"

As soon as the butler walked up to the county magistrate, he saw the wound on the county magistrate's hand! He screamed in shock and then turned to the door to find a doctor for his master.

"Wait! Butler, pick that up for me!"

The county magistrate saw the blood letter and hair rolling down from his chest and gave orders to the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper hurriedly agreed, walked quickly back to the bed, bent down to pick up the blood letter, opened it, held it in both hands, and handed it respectfully to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate took it with his uninjured hand, his eyes fixed on the contents on the paper, his hands trembling slightly!

There were a few lines of bright red characters written on it: "You dog official! Release the innocent people who were arrested yesterday and cancel the entrance fee. Otherwise, I will kill you next time!"

He looked up at his bloody hands, then at the broken hair on the ground. He raised his hand and touched the place on his head where his hair was cut off with trembling hands. He felt a chill in his heart!

"Butler, go down and check! Where are the guards from yesterday? With so many people guarding the house, they were still able to let the thieves in. Are they all useless?" the county magistrate ordered angrily with gritted teeth.

"Master, please calm down! I'll go right away!" The butler bowed carefully and left.

The county magistrate took out the golden wound medicine from the drawer of the study and bandaged the wound himself. Just as he finished, the panicked voice of Madam Liu came from outside the door!

"Master! Master! It's bad! Madam, Madam, she, she was killed by thieves! Wuuwu!"

Nanny Liu stumbled in, fell to the ground, and sobbed with tears on her face.

"What did you say! Say it again!"

The county magistrate suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, staring at Madam Liu, and asked in disbelief.

"Master! Madam died so tragically! The ground is covered with her scratches, and her nails are all curled up! We don't know what kind of torture she went through. You must avenge her!"

Hearing the sobbing and crying of Aunt Liu, the county magistrate suddenly fell down on the chair, his eyes rolled back, his vision went dark, and he fainted!

"Master! Master! Wake up! Wake up!"

When Aunt Liu saw that the county magistrate had fainted, she was shocked. She hurriedly staggered to her feet, helped the county magistrate sit on a chair, and pinched his philtrum with her fingers!

After a while, the county magistrate's eyes moved and he woke up!

"Let's go! Let's go see the lady!"

The county magistrate took a deep breath, pressed the armrests of the chair with both hands, used the force to stand up, and said with a grim face.

When he arrived at the lady's room, the county magistrate saw her lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, completely breathless!

He ran over quickly and accidentally fell to the ground. He simply crawled to his wife using his hands and feet and hugged her in his arms!

"Madam! Madam! Who on earth is it? Why are you so cruel? Why do you want to harm my wife?"

Aunt Liu knelt aside and watched this scene, tears streaming down her old face!

"Master, please accept my condolences! You must take care of yourself! Madam and Master are still waiting for you to avenge them!" Madam Liu advised in a low voice.

After saying that, she went to help the county magistrate. The county magistrate brushed her hand away, took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the lady, walked tremblingly to the bed, and gently put her down.

He placed his hands on the lady's face and gently closed her eyes.

Then he took a few deep breaths and regained his composure!

At this moment, the fear in his heart was far greater than the sadness!

His wife is the youngest daughter of the Marquis. Although his wife had a falling out with the Marquis's family in order to marry him, the Marquis and his wife love their daughter very much. If they knew that their young daughter had died a violent death, they would never let him go!

They have always looked down on him, disliking his age and low official position. If it weren't for the lady's sake, they would have dealt with him long ago!

Fortunately, the lady has a stubborn temper and has not had any contact with the Marquis's Mansion in these years!

In this way, the news of the lady's death can be concealed for a while! But this old woman must be dealt with to prevent her from leaking the news to the Marquis' Mansion!

When Madam Liu saw the master's eyes glanced at her just now, there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent. She was frightened and looked carefully. There was only sadness and anger in his eyes. She thought that she must have seen it wrong because she was absent-minded!

She had to find a way to send a message to the Marquis' Mansion about the death of her madam, so that the Marquis could avenge her madam! Then she would go to accompany her poor madam!

The Madam was raised by her breasts. She had always respected her as her master and loved her as her daughter. How could she bear to let her be alone on the road to the underworld!

"Master, I have ordered someone to prepare a coffin for Madam. Can you see it?"

The butler came in and bowed to report that he first learned about his wife's death when he was leading people to search for clues about the thief.

He woke up Madam Liu, and after watching her run to report the matter to the master, he went to redecorate the mourning hall and bought the best coffin and burial clothes for his wife.

"Dress up your wife nicely!"

The county magistrate gently touched the lady's face, raised his hand to wipe her red and swollen eyes, sighed, and gave instructions to Madam Liu.

Then he stood up and walked towards the study. When he reached the butler, he motioned for him to follow.

The two of them came to the study one after the other.

The county magistrate sat on the chair and waved to the butler, who leaned over and whispered something in his ear. The county magistrate gave instructions, and the butler's pupils shrank. He paused for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Master, I've made note of this and will do it quietly!"

The butler stepped back and bowed to assure the magistrate.

"How's the investigation into the thief going?"

The county magistrate nodded and asked again with a gloomy face.

"Master, I led a group of yamen runners to conduct a thorough search. Except for the servants who were on guard at the funeral hall last night, everyone else was knocked out by a knockout drug. The thief did not leave any clues!"

"Damn it!" The county magistrate slammed the table angrily.

He was filled with panic. This thief had quietly taken his wife's life in his heavily guarded house, and had also injured himself and left a blood letter. If he didn't do as the thief said in the blood letter, he might lose his life someday!

He narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and ordered the housekeeper: "You have to do two things right now. First, release those unruly people who caused trouble yesterday; second, notify the soldiers guarding the city to stop collecting entrance fees from now on!"

The housekeeper looked at his master in confusion, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he dared not say more, and hurriedly agreed, bowed and went back to work.

"Madam Liu, please come with me. The master has something to tell you!"

The butler brought two followers to the mourning hall in front and spoke to Aunt Liu who was keeping vigil over the lady and the young master.

"Come here!"

After burning the paper money in her hand, Nanny Liu got up and followed the housekeeper to an empty room.

"Butler, why did you bring me here? Didn't you say the master was looking for me?"

When Madam Liu saw that the housekeeper brought her to an unused wing room and that two servants locked the door after she came in, she had a bad feeling and asked with forced calmness.

"Madam Liu, I'm sorry. We have worked together for so many years, and I don't want to do this, but I am just a servant, and I must obey the master's orders in everything!"

After the butler finished speaking, he waved to the two followers, who then took out a white silk and approached Madam Liu.

Madam Liu kept backing away and begged the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, my wife is gone. I never planned to live alone! But before I die, I want to pass the news of my wife's murder back to the Marquis' Mansion, so that the Marquis can avenge my wife! Please, give me half an hour. As long as I pass the news back, I will immediately take the initiative to die, without the housekeeper's help!"

"Hey! Madam Liu, don't you understand why the master ordered your immediate execution?"

The butler sighed, then waved at the two followers and said, "Go!"

The attendant immediately stepped forward, put a white silk cloth around Madam Liu's neck, and strangled her hard!

Aunt Liu's eyes widened, her legs kicked wildly, and she uttered a few words incoherently: "Master, you are...worthy of...your husband, my wife!"

After he finished speaking, his hands fell limply, his feet stopped moving, and he was completely dead.

The old housekeeper let out a long breath and ordered his followers, "If you want to live, keep your mouths shut! Go prepare a good coffin for Madam Liu and say that Madam Liu couldn't bear to leave her mistress and hanged herself to be with her master!"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, the news spread throughout the county that the county magistrate's wife had died suddenly due to excessive grief over the death of her son!

The county magistrate lamented that his son had done too many evil things when he was alive. In order to accumulate merit for his wife and son, he ordered the release of the innocent people who were arrested yesterday! He also ordered that no entrance fee would be charged to the people from now on!

The people who got the news cheered secretly: Good death!

The county magistrate held a hasty funeral for his wife and son, and let the mother and son rest in peace!
