Chapter 951 Tang Family

Shu Yu seemed not to have heard what he said, and suddenly raised her head, "Wait, what about Old Man Cui's granddaughter?"

Young Master Jiang was taken aback, then suddenly remembered.

Yes, where is Old Cui's granddaughter? She's only five years old. The old man has been dead for two days. Where did she go?

Young Master Jiang immediately walked to the courtyard gate and asked the villagers who were still standing there, "Has anyone seen Old Man Cui's little granddaughter?"

Everyone was taken aback, and then shook their heads in unison.

The woman next door slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Don't you have any at home? Could something have happened?"

Shu Yu made a quick decision: "Let's look inside the house, and you can have people search the neighborhood."

The people at the door all left in a flash, and then they knocked on each door, calling out to anyone who was home to look for the little girl.

In no time, everyone who was free went to find someone.

Shu Yu and the others searched the Cui family's house from top to bottom, even turning over the rice jar and small boxes, but they found nothing.

Shu Yu walked back into the courtyard and looked at the woman who was tied up.

Young Master Jiang walked up to her, sweating profusely, and said, "We can only ask her."

"Okay, Yingxi, wake him up."

This woman's surname is Tang, and she was originally the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

According to my uncle, the Wang family's son was blind in one eye and was very self-conscious, rarely going out to play with others. He met Ms. Tang by chance, and unlike the others, Ms. Tang didn't look down on him; instead, she encouraged and affirmed him.

This gradually made Wang's son happier. Later, when Wang's family wanted to find him a wife, he specifically asked for a woman surnamed Tang.

When the Wang family went to propose marriage, Mrs. Tang agreed without hesitation.

The Wang family was quite wealthy. Because their son was disabled, they gave Tang a dowry of ten taels of silver, which was very high in Tang's village. Most families would only give three or five taels.

However, the Tang family was not well-off, and Ms. Tang did not have a dowry.

However, Wang's parents still took good care of their daughter-in-law. As long as she was good to their son, they didn't ask for anything else.

Who knew that three months after their marriage, Tang found the place where the Wang family hid their money, ran off with all of it, and eloped with someone, disappearing without a trace.

Wang's parents were furious. Their son, who was already insecure, now refused to even leave his room. He was both shocked and saddened to realize that Tang had ulterior motives for marrying him, and also blamed himself for letting a wolf into the house, causing his parents to lose all their savings.

When the Wang family went to the Tang family, they learned that Tang's parents treated Tang Shi badly and wanted to sell her for money as she grew up. It was Tang Shi herself who said she wanted to find a husband and that she would receive a dowry of ten taels of silver.

The Tang family thought that if the other party was willing to offer ten taels of betrothal money, they must be very wealthy. They could then take advantage of their daughter's marriage. So they agreed.

Who knew that after getting married, Tang would not live a peaceful life. Not only did she run away with her husband's money, but she also stole all the money from her own family.

The Tang family was poor, so even if they were robbed, their losses wouldn't be as great as the Wang family's.

Now that Tang has been found and is considered a murderer, it's unknown whether she regrets what she did.

Yingxi woke her up. Tang frowned slightly, looking uncomfortable. She opened her eyes and looked up. Her expression changed drastically when she saw the scene before her. Her first instinct was to run away.

With that movement, he discovered that he was bound, and not far away, Li Xiaoshan's corpse was still lying there stiffly.

Happy New Year! (_)
