The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Just then, a man in his forties or fifties, heavily pregnant, came running up, panting heavily. Grandma Sun shook him, saying, "Bao, please save Qiangzi! He's still a child. He would never do such a thing."

Du Mingxian felt her worldview had been challenged once again; there were still people like this.

The man was nearly strangled to death by his own mother. He finally managed to push her away, took several deep breaths, and then pulled the head constable aside, saying, "Let's talk over there."

As the head constable was about to leave, Du Mingxian deliberately called out in a hoarse voice, "What shameful things are you hiding that you can't say in front of everyone? Could it be that you're trying to bribe the government to release the person? Who will try to exonerate the dead girl?"

The official was about to go over, but when someone shouted at him like that, he didn't dare to go. He hurriedly pushed Sun's father away, saying, "Speak your mind. Don't pull and shove like this. What kind of behavior is this?"

Du Mingxian saw the displeasure, even murderous intent, in Sun's father's eyes.

"Haoqiang, you stay inside and behave yourself. The adults will find out the truth and clear your name. Don't say anything out of line inside, okay? Wait for your father to save you."

"Father, you have to hurry. I can't stand the suffering in prison. Or you could send two women in to keep me company."

After pondering for a moment, Sun's father shook his head. "No, I don't have the ability to send people inside. You should stay inside by yourself."

Du Mingxian was stunned. These two people had the same hobbies. Listen to what they said, even sending women. Did they even take prison seriously?

Sun Haoqiang was imprisoned, and his father left.

Du Mingxian thought for a moment and quietly followed Sun's father. She saw Sun's father go around to the back door, knock on the door, and after receiving a response, he stood quietly at the door waiting for the message to be passed.

Du Mingxian had to admire this clever shrew. Knowing that someone was watching from the front, he immediately went around to the back door, which showed that the government and the Sun family knew each other and were quite familiar with each other.

In that case, there is a very high chance that Sun Haoqiang will be released.

As an enemy, she didn't want the Sun family to have an easy time, and she didn't want Sun Haoqiang to come out, but she didn't know whether he had actually killed anyone.

After much hesitation, she quietly left for the brothel. The brothel was under protection, and the crime scene was off-limits.

Du Mingxian quietly went in through the window and carefully checked the place. She found that it was indeed... very strange. Eighty percent of the time, it was Sun Haoqiang who did it.

However, there is another strange point: the deceased did not seem to struggle before death, which is a bit unreasonable.

Even if the deceased was given some kind of drug before death, they would still feel something when a knife enters their flesh, and they would definitely struggle.

There was no struggle, the door was closed, and there were only the two of them inside. There were no other entrances or exits, so Sun Haoqiang, could this be a trap?

Either the girl committed suicide and framed Sun Haoqiang.

It could be murder, possibly using other methods that caused the victim to die without any struggle.

Knowing that Sun Haoqiang was not innocent, Du Mingxian was reluctant to let anyone out, so she went back to the yamen.

There was no sign of Sun's father at the back door. She quietly went in to look for him, but couldn't find him for a long time. She thought she was just unlucky today, but then... Sun's father came out of a small house.

What came out of that little house was... a woman, a woman dressed in expensive clothes.

Du Mingxian had also lived in the capital and was the mistress of the General's Mansion. She had a basic understanding of certain things, and she was certain that this woman was a concubine.

A concubine who can be here must belong to an adult. Could it be that Grandfather Sun has an affair with this woman?

Skeptical, she quietly approached and soon saw the concubine and her maidservant walking briskly to the front, indeed the county magistrate.

After the concubine entered, she first acted coquettishly, saying that she was bored at home, and then came over with her maid. She then said that she had heard some excitement and seen what was happening in the Sun family.

The county magistrate told her about the case.

“This was definitely done by the eldest son of the Sun family. Don’t plead for them. Many people were watching this. Even if I wanted to cover it up, I couldn’t.”

“Master, how could I not know this? Although I have some kinship with the Sun family, you know that I have never had any dealings with them.”

The magistrate was very pleased that I said that. If I had come to beg him to release the people, he would have been in a real predicament. "You really are the most considerate one."

"Of course, I want to always be the most caring person by your side."

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back soon and not stay here."

"Alright, then you should also take care to rest. I'll go back home and wait for you."

The two parted ways. Du Mingxian hesitated for a long time, but still followed the concubine. The concubine walked with a really swaying gait, and it seemed that even she, a woman, enjoyed watching her walk.

A feeling of captivating charm.

After leaving the yamen, the concubine went straight to a teahouse and then went up to a private room on the second floor.

Du Mingxian ordered the table next door, but... the soundproofing in this teahouse was excellent, and she couldn't hear anything. She could only quietly open the window a little bit.

The concubine's maid went out, and soon after, Sun's father arrived. The two talked in the private room.

Du Mingxian wanted to listen, but she really couldn't hear anything. In the end, she could only calmly sit down and drink tea.

After a long while, the first to come out was Sun's father. His expression was unreadable. But when the concubine came out, Du Mingxian could clearly feel that the concubine had combed her hair again.

It's the same hairstyle as before, but the hairpin is in the wrong direction.

Du Mingxian was certain there was something between the two of them. She followed the concubine home, and the concubine calmly bowed to the mistress and then obediently replied that she was going to the yamen to accompany the master.

They didn't mention the teahouse at all.

When the concubine returned to her courtyard, all the servants withdrew. Only then did the concubine's maidservant unable to resist asking in a low voice, "Does Madam really want to get involved in this matter? But Young Master Sun has committed murder and has been caught. Many people know about it. If he is given a lenient sentence, it will be discovered later."

"Don't worry, I'm just mentioning it briefly. As for the final outcome, that's beyond my control, and I don't care." The concubine was in a good mood. "Although I have some connection with the Sun family and they give me money every month, I haven't actually joined the Sun family, so I don't want to get involved in their affairs."

"But what if you promised Master Sun that you would release him?"

"Let's see how the case progresses first. Master Sun himself said he would find a way to send money to the magistrate. If the magistrate really accepts the money, then what business is there for me? I don't have to do anything and I can just have a good reputation."

"My aunt is clever. I hope Master Sun will be smart enough to give more money this time."

The concubine shook her head slightly. "I'm afraid it's difficult. It's not that he doesn't want to give it, but that he can't afford it. He's been held hostage by the Wang family for so many years. He's gone all in on the wine, but in the end, he still failed."
