Jiang Qinyu was taken aback. What was going on?

Jin Suo, however, was not surprised. "They must have mistaken our carriage for my master's again. I'll be right back."

She jumped off the carriage and saw a young woman blocking the way.

"Please, Your Honor, do justice for this humble woman!" the young woman cried out.

It's clear that she must have been a beauty in her youth, but now she looks disheveled and pitiful.

Before Jin Suo even heard her speak, she felt sorry for her, let alone the onlookers around her.

“Sister, this carriage doesn’t belong to the magistrate. If you have any grievances, you can go to the county government office to beat the drum and appeal. We can’t help you,” Jin Suo said politely.

The young woman was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then burst into tears even more. "My life is so miserable! Young lady, please, for the sake of all women, please fetch the county magistrate and beg you to seek justice for me!"

Jin Suo was stunned, and immediately felt a little displeased.

She had clearly stated that they couldn't handle the matter and had even given the woman directions, but the woman insisted on clinging to them.

Compared to ordinary maids, Jin Suo had at least come from the inner quarters of a large family, and the pity she felt for her had dissipated. She coldly said to the woman kneeling on the ground, "The magistrate is busy with official duties. How can he be summoned at any time?"

They even made her go find someone, as if she had some kind of ego.

Jiang Qinyu, inside the carriage, heard Jin Suo's tone change and hesitated for a moment before lifting the curtain.

But as soon as she lifted the curtain and looked up, Jiang Qinyu's hand, which was holding the curtain, suddenly clenched, and her eyes turned extremely cold and sharp.

The woman on the ground had been watching the carriage the whole time, so the moment Jiang Qinyu lifted the curtain, their eyes met. The woman's eyes widened suddenly, a look of disbelief flashing across her face, but she hurriedly asked, "Are you Xiaoyu? Jiang Qinyu?"

Jiang Qinyu lowered the carriage curtain and said to Jin Suo, "Take a detour and ignore him."

Jin Suo looked at the carriage curtain that had been lowered again with surprise, wondering why the general's wife would react and speak in this way.

You see, she had been with the lady almost every day for some time now, and she had gotten a pretty good idea of ​​what kind of temperament she was.

When injustices occur, the general's wife, while she wouldn't intervene in every single one, would never be so indifferent as she is now!

Although Jin Suo was a bit lively, she was very steady and capable in handling matters. After hearing Jiang Qinyu's words, she immediately said to the driver, "Uncle Xu, let's go."

Xu Shu, the experienced driver, had naturally witnessed everything that had just happened. Hearing Jin Suo's words, he happily agreed, "Alright, Miss and Madam, please be seated!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Suo got into the carriage and sat down. The carriage then drove past the woman on the ground at a tricky angle and sped away.

The onlookers: "..." What's going on? Does the county government not want to get involved in this woman's matter?

The woman on the ground was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got up and chased after the carriage while cursing and swearing.

"What did she say?"

"It seems she said the person in the car was her sister-in-law, and that even if her sister-in-law is successful now, she can't just ignore her as her sister-in-law..."

"Tsk tsk... I thought that woman was so pitiful just now, but now it seems that there's always a reason why someone is pitiful."

"That's right, let me tell you, last time..."

The carriage quickly disappeared from sight. Jin Suo looked at Jiang Qinyu's dark face with some concern and cautiously asked, "Madam, do you know that woman from just now?"

Jiang Qinyu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without replying.

She not only knew her, but she would never mistake that woman even if she turned to ashes!

The woman who just stopped their carriage was none other than Brother Jiang's first wife, and also the biological mother of Shufan and Pan'er, Liu Yuqing!

Seven days after giving birth to Shufan and Pan'er, Liu Yuqing ran off with a businessman from out of town. Jiang's eldest brother had no choice but to send the children to Dingshui Village and ask Jiang Qinyu to take care of them for a few days while he went to chase after Liu Yuqing.

But no one expected that a sudden downpour would occur that day, and a mudslide occurred at the Langou Weir. Jiang's eldest brother, who took a shortcut out of the village via the Langou Weir, was swept away by the mudslide and was hit and smashed by countless rocks, dying on the spot.

It's fair to say that if Liu Yuqing hadn't eloped, Jiang's eldest brother would never have died at that time.

The original owner of this body hated Liu Yuqing to the core, but as a newlywed with two children to take care of, she had no energy to inquire about Liu Yuqing's whereabouts. As time went by, she could only bury this matter in her heart.

Jiang Qinyu never expected that she would suddenly run into Liu Yuqing today.

Judging from Liu Yuqing's current appearance, she must have suffered a lot.

In that instant, Jiang Qinyu felt a sense of satisfaction. Justice is justice, and retribution is inevitable. Since the other party was already living such a miserable life without her having to lift a finger, why should she dirty her own hands?

Murder is illegal, and Jiang Qinyu isn't stupid.

However, she needed to ascertain Liu Yuqing's current situation. Although she couldn't do anything to her personally, maintaining the status quo should be fine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qinyu looked at Jin Suo and asked, "Can you find out anything about that woman?"

"Huh?" Jin Suo was taken aback. "Madam wants to help her?"

Jiang Qinyu shook her head, "I just want to know what her current situation is."

Helping is out of the question; she didn't do it herself because she was afraid of being too ruthless and killing the person.

Although Jin Suo didn't know what she was going to do, she thought for a moment and said, "This servant can send someone to inquire. That woman made such a scene in the street just now, someone should know about her situation."

Jiang Qinyu nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."

“Why are you being so polite with me, Madam? This is all my duty,” Jin Suo said with a smile.

But she was still very curious about the relationship between that woman and the lady. She felt that the lady clearly disliked the woman, but she didn't take the opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Jiang Qinyu couldn't care less about her curiosity at the moment. She frowned slightly, a little worried about Shufan and Pan'er.

Liu Yuqing is not one to stay put. Now that she saw her, she will definitely inquire about her everywhere, and may even go to Dingshui Village.

When she married into the village, Liu Yuqing secretly mocked her, saying that she had given up being the daughter of a scholar in town to agree to a marriage in the countryside, which was truly degrading.

For this reason, Liu Yuqing hadn't visited Dingshui Village in the six months since Jiang Qinyu's marriage; it was always Jiang's eldest brother who went by himself.

But now that Liu Yuqing is in trouble, and can't find out about Jiang's eldest brother, she will definitely turn her attention to Dingshui Village.

If Shufan and Pan'er meet her, will they acknowledge her as their daughter?
