Chapter 134
"Madam, everyone knows that Miss Li married into the capital, but she's back so quickly. I suspect she's had some kind of problem and was rejected by her fiancé. But as soon as she came back, she came to see you, Master. I think she must have ulterior motives," Aunt Liu said to Madam Tang, expressing her unfounded suspicions.
“Your concerns are not without merit.” Madam Tang looked at Aunt Liu. Although she thought the woman was foolish, she had to admit that there was some truth to what she said.
Otherwise, how could someone who normally marries into the capital city possibly come back so easily?
"Moreover, I noticed that Miss Li has a man with her. Perhaps she wants you to arrange some job for her, sir? Sir, you owe your success today to the support of Madam's family, but some people are only thinking about taking advantage of others." Aunt Liu sighed as she said this, as if she felt sorry for Madam Tang.
"Hmph, such a shameless woman is not worthy of entering my Cao family." Upon hearing this, Madam Tang slammed her hand on the table in anger.
She had already made up her mind.
After Aunt Liu left, Madam Tang looked in the direction Aunt Liu had gone, her eyes filled with jealousy.
She was no longer young and beautiful, and many scheming women had appeared around her, trying to seduce the master.
She dealt with some of them directly, and left others behind.
After all, there should always be a few pots of wildflowers at home, so that the old man won't only be thinking about the flowers and plants outside.
"Madam, shall I go and deal with Miss Li?" Madam Tang asked, stepping forward to the nanny Zhu Liu beside her and making a throat-slitting gesture.
"Let me ask the master's opinion first." Madam Tang wanted to deal with it directly, but Li Zhiwei was different from the other women. The Li family only had Li Zhiwei as their daughter. If something happened to Li Zhiwei, the Li family would definitely not let it go.
"Does Madam think Aunt Liu is lying?" Zhu Liu asked, somewhat surprised.
“Miss Li is different from those courtesans,” Madam Tang said, shaking her head.
She did want to get rid of Li Zhiwei, but she couldn't cause trouble for the master.
She understood the principle that all prosper together and all suffer together.
If it were a woman from an ordinary family who handled the situation, the master wouldn't hold a grudge against her.
"When will the master return?" Madam Tang asked after thinking for a moment.
"Master is back!" Tang Shi had barely finished speaking when the maid's voice rang out from outside.
"Madam, Master has returned!" Zhu Liu said quickly.
"Well, you can go now!" Madam Tang wanted to explain things to Magistrate Cao, but there were some things she didn't want Zhu Liu to hear.
"Master, why are you so late today?" Seeing that Magistrate Cao's complexion was not good, Madam Tang quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, there's something going on at the yamen!" Magistrate Cao said, then looked at Madam Tang.
He was pondering how to tell her that Aunt Liu's brother had committed a crime and was sentenced to death.
He was afraid that Aunt Liu would go back and talk nonsense to Madam Tang again.
"Master, you've worked hard. Please sit down and have your meal!" Madam Tang naturally noticed that Magistrate Cao was hesitant to speak. She wondered if Magistrate Cao wanted to tell her about his desire to marry Li Zhiwei.
That little slut certainly knows how to seduce people.
The master was so eager to tell me about this.
"Madam, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." After thinking for a moment, Magistrate Cao decided to clear things up with Madam Tang first.
He was afraid that Aunt Liu would cause trouble for him again, or even take it to the authorities.
He'll be the one who loses face then.
"It's quite a coincidence, I also have something very important to tell you, sir!" Madam Tang's face darkened, but she quickly put on a gentle smile and said to Magistrate Cao.
“Madam, please speak freely!” Magistrate Cao was also quite surprised, wondering what important matter Madam Tang had to tell him.
"I am indeed getting old, and I would like to find a close younger sister to help me take care of my husband." As she said this, Madam Tang secretly glanced at Magistrate Cao, and continued only when she saw that he did not speak.
