He paid more attention and found that there was no other emotion in the girl's eyes except surprise and joy.
Shen Congrong came over from behind, and Ke Mingyue immediately relaxed when she saw him. She chattered and praised the grandeur of the Marquis' Mansion, comparing it with the Gaomen Courtyard and the Ice Field.
When Shen Congrong suggested that she stay in the Marquis's Mansion for a while, she refused, and proudly said that they had bought a small house in the imperial capital and had their own home.
At that moment, he realized that this girl was different.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Niu looked suspicious, approached Xiong Feng and said, "When you mentioned this Miss Ke just now, Su Tai knew her immediately. Could it be that Su Tai also knows her?"
Xiong Feng nodded, "Miss Ke's grandmother is Aunt Shen's great aunt. According to seniority, Miss Ke should call Aunt Shen aunt."
Niu fell silent for a moment.
Just when Xiong Feng thought she was going to object, Niu suddenly said, "Since you think it's a good idea, then ask someone to tell them! Grandmother can't help you, so you have to work hard on your own."
Xiong Feng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Grandma, I thought you wouldn't agree."
Niu looked up at him a few times and snorted unhappily, "You are my only grandson, so naturally I hope everything goes well for you. If that girl is really like what you said, why would I object? I'm just afraid that you will follow in your father's footsteps!"
Xiong Feng's expression became serious, and he sat upright, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm not my father, and I will never become like my father."
Niu nodded and said nothing more.
Since Xiong Feng already has a girl he likes, Niu is no longer in a hurry about this matter and will focus all her attention on Mo Chunxiang.
Jian Tian'er set rules for Mo Chunxiang and asked her to serve him, which made Mo Chunxiang miserable.
Mo Chunxiang was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Niu and strangle her to death several times.
Fortunately, the maids and servants were well prepared and kept a close eye on Mo Chunxiang, leaving her no chance to attack.
Mo Chunxiang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to leave, but the maids and servants wouldn't let her. She started crying, making a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, but in return Niu beat her even more severely.
Many officials in the county government often heard Mo Chunxiang's crying. Su Yongzhang felt that this was not a solution, so he went to Xiong Feng to discuss, "Brother, I suggest you buy another house in the county to accommodate your aunt. In the long run, it will be disadvantageous to you. You don't know that the people below are secretly discussing it.
Although these things have little to do with you because of the pressure from the old lady, they still have an impact."
Xiong Feng lowered his eyes and smiled. When he looked up again, he did not seem anxious at all. "Thank you, Brother Yongzhang, for reminding me. Don't worry, this matter will be resolved soon and there won't be any bad effects."
Su Yongzhang was surprised. He knew the situation of the Xiong family and was also aware of how shameless Mo Chunxiang was. This person would definitely not let Xiong Feng go easily. How could he solve the problem properly?
Soon someone cleared up his confusion.
That day, a burly man carrying a bow and arrow and a rattan basket came to the county government office.
At first glance, he is obviously a hunter from the mountains, and his accent doesn't sound like a local.
When the yamen runner was suspicious, the hunter spoke cautiously, "I want to find my wife."
The yamen runner took a while to understand and glared at him, "This is the yamen. Are you asking us to help you find a wife?"
The hunter quickly shook his head and smiled in a simple and honest way, "No, no, my wife's name is Mo Chunxiang. Some people say that she is in the county government office. I came to ask."
"What do you mean Mo Chunxiang doesn't know?" The yamen runner's impatient expression instantly turned into surprise.
The two looked at each other, and after confirming with the hunter again and again, they were so scared that they hurried in to report.
"Sir, something bad has happened. A hunter came outside and said he was looking for a wife. He also said his wife's name is Mo Chunxiang." The yamen runner was very nervous and also had a bit of gossipy tone in his voice.
The officials in the yamen all looked at Xiong Feng.
Su Yongzhang
He slammed the table in anger, "Nonsense! Who is this rogue causing trouble? Come on, I'll go out with you and take a look."
Su Yongzhang rushed to the outside of the yamen with great momentum. Seeing that there were people coming and going outside, he did not want to make a big deal out of it, so he let the hunter in to talk.
"What's your wife's name? What does she look like?" Su Yongzhang's tone was a little aggressive.
The hunter also became excited. "Her name is Mo Chunxiang. She is a widow from Ximen Village in Moshi Town. She has a scar on her face. She is disfigured."
Su Yongzhang's heart skipped a beat. Damn it! They all matched.
He looked at the hunter for several times, his head spinning wildly, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out some questions, "How did you get to know Mo? Did she marry you voluntarily?"
The hunter just felt that these questions were inexplicable. "Sir, I met my wife on the way out of the mountains to sell prey. She was in a miserable state at that time, almost starving to death on the roadside. I didn't want to care about her, but she asked me to take her in, and said that as long as I gave her something to eat, she would marry me.
It just so happened that I hadn't found a wife yet, so I gave her some dry food. When I was returning from selling the game, I ran into her again on the road. She followed me and insisted on marrying me. How can you say she didn't do it voluntarily? "
Su Yongzhang's ugly face darkened even more. It seemed that Mo Chunxiang was a widow who remarried. In this case, as long as the man in front of him did not let her go, Mo Chunxiang would no longer be a member of the Xiong family. This would be a good opportunity to help Xiong Feng get rid of this burden.
Thinking of this, Su Yongzhang's expression softened again, and he spoke to the hunter in a much more friendly manner, "Does anyone have any witnesses to what you said?"
The hunter nodded and said, "When I married her, I also filed the paperwork with the town official. Otherwise, her household registration wouldn't be in my place."
The yamen runners' heads were buzzing after hearing this.
Captain Li couldn't help but ask, "Since her household registration is with you, why did she come back?"
When the hunter heard this, he gnashed his teeth in anger. "I thought she was grateful, but who knew she was not only ungrateful, but also lazy. After marrying me, I had headaches here and there for a few days, and I didn't want to do any work, even washing clothes and cooking.
I thought that I had finally gotten married with consent and didn't spend any money on betrothal gifts, so I just endured it. The worst that could happen was that I would just have to work a little harder and wait for her to give birth to a child for me.
As a result, after I raised her for so many years, she didn't even lay an egg and became more and more lazy. I didn't want to tolerate it anymore, so I punished her twice and she ran away.
I really can't swallow this, I must find her back, she has to serve me for the same number of years I served her, this is fair!"
Everyone looked at each other and for the first time felt sympathy for the man who beat his wife. It was really weird.
Su Yongzhang coughed a few times and muttered something in Captain Li's ear for a long time.
Captain Li hurried to see Xiong Feng and explained the situation to him.
"Sir, you are the one who needs to make the final decision on this matter."
Xiong Feng paused, with a righteous look on his face, and finally finished his words after a while, "Since Lord Su has taken over this matter, then I will listen to Lord Su and follow the law. There is no need to ask me." (End of this chapter)
