Chapter 162 Arrival at Nandi City
Du Mingwei was only slightly unwell, but the thought of having Aunt Wang's help made her not want to move at all. Ideally, Aunt Wang could continue to help until Wu Daniu became a general. At that time, with many servants at home, there would be no need for an old woman.
Du Mingwei sat by the window, Wu Daniu chopped firewood in the yard, and Wang Cui stood by to help. The two of them looked more like a couple.
Du Mingwei felt extremely uncomfortable, but after hesitating, she came to terms with it.
Even if Wang Cui is very capable, she is still the legal wife. Wu Daniu is not capable enough to marry Wang Cui as well, so it's better to wait.
If that day ever comes and Wang Cui insists on entering the house, it doesn't matter. She still has some methods to deal with a concubine; she's not entirely helpless.
After figuring things out, Du Mingwei felt perfectly at ease accepting the Wang family's help, and no longer cared whether Wu Daniu and Wang Cui were exchanging flirtatious glances.
Du Mingxian stayed in the county for one night and then headed straight for Nandi City.
Both the Wang and Sun families are there; we should try to find a way after we get to Nandi City.
Upon arriving in Nandi City, she first found an inn to stay at, asked the waiter for some information, and then went to find the broker.
In places like brokerage firms, it's the most convenient and fastest way to resell information.
They found someone who specialized in selling information to inquire about the Sun family. The Sun family was a prominent family in the city, and they could easily find out information about them with a few inquiries.
Because of a lecherous patriarch, the Sun family had many children and concubines, but only two legitimate sons, neither of whom were particularly good.
Both were born to the principal wife. The principal wife of the head of the Sun family was his cousin, the daughter of his uncle. So after the birth of the legitimate son, he was raised by the old lady's side. The old lady doted on these two grandsons.
Then they become useless, and everyone curses them behind their backs, but no one dares to say anything to their faces.
The eldest grandson of the Sun family is quite a character. Like his father, he enjoys all kinds of beautiful women. Although he is not very old, he has a lot of children at home and keeps quite a few women both at home and outside.
He also manages all the business matters and does most of the work.
The second son of the legitimate wife was a gambler, not a womanizer, but gambling was his life. He had to gamble every day, and if he didn't go for a day, he would be absent-minded. He spent a lot of money every day and was beaten by the head of the Sun family every day, but he still didn't change his ways.
None of the other sons and daughters of the Sun family were particularly outstanding, because the old lady had raised them as useless and did not want them to stand out too much. If the sons and daughters of the illegitimate children were outstanding, they would overshadow the eldest son's glory and be detrimental to the legitimate son's inheritance of the family business.
After getting a brief understanding, Du Mingxian decided to go outside and inquire about more information. She changed into men's clothing in her room and planned to go to the casino to see her second son.
Before they even reached their destination, something happened on the street: the eldest grandson of the Sun family committed murder.
The government surrounded the brothel, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Many people gathered around to watch. Du Mingxian heard people talking about the Sun family, so she didn't go far and just stayed there to watch the excitement.
After a while, the officers escorted a man out of the brothel. He looked to be in his thirties, and his steps were unsteady. It was clear that he had been ruined by wine and women. Even though he was being escorted, he was still quite arrogant.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? You're new here, aren't you? How dare you grab me? You'll regret this!"
The lead officer turned and gave Sun Haoqiang a disgusted look. "We know who you are, Master Sun, but do you know who the person you killed was a member of the Ren family? Take him away."
Du Mingxian felt that it was too much of a coincidence that Sun Haoqiang was arrested.
Some of the onlookers followed the officials, and Du Mingxian followed as well. She had come to investigate the Sun family, as Sun Haoqiang was the one who took over the business. Now that he had been arrested, she naturally wanted to follow him closely.
As I walked along, listening to the onlookers talk, I quickly pieced together some information.
Sun Haoqiang ordered a girl at a brothel, but... he killed her. There were only two people in the room at the time, and by the time they found her, she was already dead.
"This is terrible. Old Master Sun is involved in a murder case. We don't know if he'll ever get out."
Someone nearby shook their head, "There's no need to worry about that. Don't be fooled by his loud protests. Just watch, as long as the Sun family steps in, Sun Haoqiang will definitely be released."
"How could he be involved in murder cases? He killed that person, and he still managed to get out of jail. That's just too despicable."
"That's right, I don't believe he can get out. Even if he's a girl from a brothel, he still has a life."
"What do you know? It's no secret that the Sun family is lecherous. Look at Grandpa Sun's father now, he's married so many women, and Grandpa Sun has so many brothers."
"Why is it that only Grandpa Sun can manage the household? It's because he's capable. However, such people have a flaw: they like to play around in those kinds of things."
"Yes, yes, I know about this. A relative of a relative of mine works for the Sun family. They say that every now and then they carry corpses out of Grandpa Sun's yard and dump them in the mass grave outside the city."
"Huh? I don't believe it, how could that be?"
"Believe it or not, it's true. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to."
"I just don't believe that so many people died, how did the Sun family manage to cover it up, and why didn't anyone report it?"
"What are you suing for? The Sun family has money. Some family members like money and can be appeased with a little money. They won't cause any trouble. But some family members are different. Some family members want to cause trouble, but do you know what will happen in the end? They will never have a good ending."
"Besides, if the Sun family didn't have some ability, how could they have grown so big here? Don't you think about it? The Sun family must have someone behind them."
Du Mingxian felt that these onlookers were really amazing. In such a short time, they were able to say so much and hear so much information. Indeed, gossip has its advantages.
As they were talking, the Sun family's carriage stopped in front of the officials, and an old woman with completely white hair got off the carriage. "No, you can't take him away."
"Please move aside, sir, don't obstruct our work."
“You can’t arrest him just because you’re on official business. He’s still a child, how can he take this?”
The official was speechless. Whose child goes to a brothel? "The old lady went to a brothel and killed the girls there."
“Those sluts are lucky to die at my grandson’s hands. Name your price and release my grandson now.”
Listening to the old lady's words, Du Mingxian felt that the Sun family was probably truly ruined by marrying an unvirtuous wife, which would destroy three generations.
The officials wouldn't let them go, so the old lady stood there and wouldn't let them leave. As they made a scene, the crowd of onlookers grew. Du Mingxian, who had been following along, was still standing at the front.
Seeing that the commotion had dragged on for so long without being resolved, Du Mingxian was getting anxious for the officials.
