Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 429 Revenge
Master Shao took the initiative and released the three members of the Zeng family on the spot.
The Zeng family is local, so the amount of the fine is what we say, and we are not afraid that they will not pay it.
As for Mrs. Zeng, she signed the agreement in black and white herself. When Zeng and his son left, they were speechless and could not utter a single word to beg for mercy.
What can I say?
She confessed her guilt herself.
As for Madam Zeng, after thinking it over, she realized that she had been fooled by her mother-in-law before. She hated her so much that she had no sympathy for her mother-in-law who was asking for trouble and had to endure it without any reason. She even hoped that she would spend the rest of her life in prison and never come back.
The three members of the Zeng family were taken away. Madam Zeng didn't even glance at them. She just stared at Xu Zhichun: "Where's Mingzhu? Can you let Mingzhu go now? I want to see her, I want to see her!"
I don't know what happened to her pearl.
She comforted herself that as long as Mingzhu was not the main culprit, it would not be a big deal. It would just be a matter of spending some money. Even if their Zeng family was not as well off as before, they could still come up with this little bit of fines.
But now she had to find out what happened to her pearl.
Xu Zhichun was deliberately vague and ambiguous, saying half and hiding the other, leaving her to imagine it herself. How could he possibly satisfy her?
"Madam Zeng, you're joking. Our Qingshan County's parent official is Lord Lu. If anyone breaks the law, Lord Lu will deal with it according to the law. Madam Zeng asking me to release Zeng Mingzhu is a bit ridiculous. How can I have such power? I will not do anything that violates the law."
Mrs. Zeng was stunned.
She didn't give up and asked, "What about Mingzhu? Where is Mingzhu now?"
Xu Zhichun sneered meaningfully: "Of course she stays where she belongs."
"What do you mean?"
"Whatever Mrs. Zeng thinks it should mean, that's what it means."
Mrs. Zeng was extremely confused and frightened, and could not help but turn her head to look at Master Shao.
Master Shao had an indifferent expression, and no one could tell anything from his face.
"Oh!"
Xu Zhichun sneered, and finally felt completely relieved.
She values good and evil more than blood ties - after all, she has no blood relationship with the people here, but she knows that people of this era are not like that.
Even though Xiaoyan, Xiaojuan and other sisters were heartbroken by the Zeng family and wanted to break off all ties with them, their surname was Zeng after all.
For their sake, she thought she had been high-minded enough towards the Zeng family and let them off lightly.
Unfortunately, it seems that no one except Madam Zeng can understand it.
Mrs. Zeng helped Zeng Mingzhu kidnap herself. If it weren't for the space warehouse and all the resources she needed, she would have been ruined and lived a life worse than death at the hands of Zeng Mingzhu.
This time, she will not let the Zeng family go.
Madam Zeng suddenly looked at Xu Zhichun, "You, you're kidding me? You're kidding me!"
Caring too much can lead to confusion and being blinded by one thing, but that doesn't mean she is stupid.
Xu Zhichun curled his lips slightly: "What is Madam Zeng talking about?"
Are they allowed to team up with each other to deceive and kidnap someone, but she is not allowed to retaliate? There is no such thing in the world.
Xu Zhichun turned and left, and the cursing, crying and scolding coming from behind him became farther and farther away.
For her, it's not over yet.
Xu Zhichun had planned to send someone to deliver a visiting card to the Qin family as soon as she left the government office, but she didn't expect that when she just returned to the shop, Nanny Xi was already waiting there with her people.
"This old servant pays his respects to Madam Xu! Congratulations to Madam Xu for turning misfortune into good fortune. Our Master and Madam were so happy to hear that Madam Xu has returned safely that they specially sent this old servant to invite Madam Xu over."
"Our wife said that although we can stay overnight in this shop, it is not as convenient as staying at your house. Madam Xu, please don't be so formal. Wouldn't it be better if you stay at our house for a night?"
Xu Zhichun was touched, nodded and thanked her with a smile, then followed Nanny Xi and took Qu Ling with her.
Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin were so kind, and they all had a good relationship, so there was no need for her to refuse.
When Mr. and Mrs. Qin heard the servants report that she had arrived, they personally went to greet her outside the door. When they talked about the accident, they sighed and felt lucky for her.
Seeing Qu Ling, such a well-behaved and cute little girl, Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up and she couldn't help asking a few questions.
Xu Zhichun did not hide it from her, but to be honest he couldn't tell her, so he omitted Wu Mama and just said that he bought her out of pity for her.
Mrs. Qin sighed deeply.
After dinner, Nanny Xi took Qu Ling downstairs to rest. Xu Zhichun told Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin about the kidnapping, but omitted the name of the Xiangzhou prefect.
The fact that all four masters of the Zeng family were taken away by the government a few days ago was known to the whole city, and Madam Xu's disappearance could not be concealed either. Those who knew the feud between the two families had guessed some of it, but they did not expect that there was also the matter of the eldest daughter of the Zeng family involved.
The eldest daughter of the Zeng family claimed to be recuperating from illness, but unexpectedly she ran away secretly. Even more unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to hook up with a wealthy businessman from another place, but she still held a grudge and was still thinking about revenge.
Now, her whole family was taken into custody for revenge.
Mrs. Zeng loves her daughter very much, but unfortunately she is a confused person. She is willing to take the blame for her daughter without knowing why. I am afraid that this will not end well.
Kidnapping is a serious crime, and the person she kidnapped was Madam Shanci, so it would be impossible for the Zeng family to redeem her with money.
Xu Zhichun: "The Zeng family has gone too far. I don't intend to let Madam Zeng go. As for the Zeng family, I don't want to tolerate them anymore. I wonder if Master Qin can help me?"
Mr. Qin asked tentatively, "Of course, I wonder what Madam Xu's plans are?"
Xu Zhichun: "I want the Qin family to be completely ruined. I want their business to cease to operate. 20,000 taels of silver for operation, plus priority for future cooperation. I also have all the goods sold by the Qin family, with prices as low as 30% off. I wonder if this is enough?"
She didn't have enough connections and channels, so she could only ask the Qin family for help.
Master Qin was surprised yet not so surprised.
Even a clay figure still has some earthy qualities, not to mention that Mrs. Xu has come this far and she is definitely not the type of a clay figure.
He was actually quite curious. Where did the Zeng family get so much confidence that they could continue to commit suicide?
Master Qin nodded hurriedly: "It's enough, it's enough. There's no need for so much silver. Madam Xu, don't worry. There are many people who are eyeing the Zeng family. I will contact them tomorrow. The Zeng family will have no chance of staying in Qingshan County anymore."
It's the same principle that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when everyone pushes it, the wall is broken. The Zeng family is asking for trouble, so let's all send them to hell together.
Xu Zhichun stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Master Qin!"
“You’re welcome.”
The next morning, Xu Zhichun invited Shopkeeper Zhong to come and discuss with Master Qin how to get rid of the Zeng family. She was worried about her family and would go back soon, but Shopkeeper Zhong lived in the city, so Master Qin could discuss anything with Shopkeeper Zhong. She would ask someone to give the banknotes to Shopkeeper Zhong, and when he needed to spend money, he could just spend it generously without being frugal.
