The second lady sat on the big kang near the window with a gloomy face, and the agarwood rosary in her hand crackled.

Seeing Dou Zhao and Ji Shi coming in, her face turned a little darker, and she asked the brocade beside her to sit down, and asked Dou Zhao deeply, "What's going on?" ”

Ji Shi's face turned blue with anger when he heard this, and he didn't wait for the second wife to speak, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that the third uncle sent someone back to report the news, and I thought that Pang Kunbai was a bastard, so I came up with such a method. It turned out that she wanted to perform the drama of 'Hero Saving Beauty', which was clearly ......" The two words of temptation she couldn't say in front of Dou Zhao, and said, "It's obviously to bully Aunt Shou when she is young and ignorant." If it weren't for the crisis change in Shougu, wouldn't the Pang family succeed? Speaking of this, she was shocked to realize that the second lady had not yet spoken, and hurriedly said, "Mother, this matter can't be left like this!" That's bullying! ”

That Pang Kunbai clearly has a good idea of killing two birds with one stone.

rescued Shougu from the robbers, took advantage of the fact that it was too late to stay in the Grange for one night, and then asked the Dou family for the sake of Shougu's name. Even if Aunt Shou no longer likes the Pang family and is no longer willing to marry into the Pang family, with the grace of saving her life and the excuse of borrowing a room, Aunt Shou has no choice but to marry. After a long time, with a child, no matter how careless Pang Kunbai serves, Shou Gu will naturally live with her wholeheartedly, even if the Dou family and the Zhao family stop it, Shou Gu looks in front of her husband and children, I am afraid that she will hand over the property to Pang Kunbai to take care of, and the Pang family will be able to justifiably occupy Shou Gu's property.

The second lady's face was dark, but she said, "Why didn't you go to report to the official without telling the people in the family first?" ”

Of course, I'm afraid that you will make a private deal with the Wang family!

Dou Zhao re-told the second lady what he had said to Ji Yong, and finally said: "Because of the murder, the cousin of the Ji family, the twelfth brother and the fourth brother Wu decided to report to the official. ”

"You mean. This matter is also related to Jianming? Ji's eyes widened.

Anyway, Ji Yong's background is deep, and the Dou family doesn't dare to offend at will, so it's better to help Dou Dechang and Wu Shan as a shield!

Dou Zhao nodded.

Ji's face was embarrassed.

The second lady was a little surprised, but as Dou Zhao expected. I didn't ask any further.

Dou Zhao is now pretending to be a little girl, making a look of shock and horror, and said, "Mrs. Tai." If it weren't for Su Xin and Su Lan by my side, if I hadn't taken the two of them out, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back? You ask Mrs. Tai for one thing, please promise me no matter what? As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped his tears.

If it was someone else who offended the Dou family like this, the second lady would have ordered her to go down and find a haircut, throw it into the yamen and beat her to death. But when it comes to Wang Xingyi, she has a feeling that it is a bit wasteful to dispose of Pang Kunbai so simply - Wang Yingxue was righted at the beginning. One of the conditions is that the Wang family must not interfere in Shougu's marriage. Pang Kunbai is the in-law of the Wang family, even if the Wang family wants to deny it, it is impossible.

She couldn't help but groan: "You say! ”

"Ask Mrs. Tai to help me find out who leaked my whereabouts?" Dou Zhao told the second lady of his suspicions.

The second lady immediately agreed: "Even if you don't mention it, I will also investigate." This kind of thing that seeks glory from the master, finds one and fights another, no matter who it is. She said angrily.

"I'd like to get a few more guards." Dou Zhao said. "I'm scared. You don't even know how powerful Pang Kunbai's entourage is, otherwise why wouldn't I recognize him? What's more, since the Pang family has such a heart, it is difficult to guarantee that other people do not have such a heart, and I don't want to encounter such a thing again. Even if it's a deterrent, I want to ask a few masters to escort it. ”

The second lady thought of the Wu family.

"Okay!" She didn't hesitate and said, "You will discuss this matter with your third uncle and third cousin at that time." ”

Dou Zhao got up and thanked the second wife.

In this way, she can recruit troops in a grand manner.

Mama Liu came in and said, "There is a letter from the third master." ”

It seems that the third uncle always reported what happened in the Grange to the second wife. No wonder the second lady quickly learned what had happened.

"Let him come in and talk." The second lady said.

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy who looked very clever ran in and saluted the second wife, and said, "Mrs. Tai, the doctor said that Pang Gongzi's injury is serious, and I am afraid that he will have to be sent to Zhending Prefecture for treatment." The third master asked me to ask you. Do you want to inform the people of the Pang family? ”

"Notify them." The second lady said decisively, "Beat the gongs and drums and let them come and bring it, so that the people of Zhendingzhou will know what kind of evil thing this son they gave birth to!" ”

The little guy rushed to report to Dou Shibang.

The second lady thought that she wanted to tell her son about this matter, and sent Dou Zhao down to rest: "...... It's too late, it's in your sixth aunt's house, right? You don't have to worry about things over there, your third uncle will naturally take care of it. ”

Dou Zhao didn't want to go back and scare his grandmother when it was time for this, so he went to Ji's place.

Before going to bed, Ji Shi took Dou Zhao's hand and asked every word and sentence that Ji Yong had said very carefully, looking a little nervous.

Dou Zhao was puzzled, but he still answered Ji's words impartially.

When Ji Shi heard this, his expression slackened, and he ordered the maid to serve Dou Zhao to wash, and lit a furnace of benzoin in the inner room of the west wing where Dou Zhao usually rested, so that Dou Zhao could rest well, and if he had anything to say, he would talk about it tomorrow.

Either this incense worked, or he was too nervous before, Dou Zhao quickly fell asleep.

When I got up the next morning, Ji Yong, Dou Dechang, and Wu Shan had already come back and were about to have breakfast.

Dou Dechang and Wu Shan had two dark circles under their eyes, and at a glance, they knew that they hadn't slept last night, but Ji Yong was radiant and radiant, as if he had just gotten up from bed.

How is he so good spirit.

Dou Zhao muttered in his heart.

Ji told her about what happened next: "...... The Pang family will not admit that Pang Kunbai robbed you no matter what, but said that you were bullying others and seriously injured Pang Kunbai. Now Pang Yinlou escorted Pang Kunbai to Zhending Prefecture for medical treatment, Pang Jinlou went to Kyoto, and Pang Xilou hired Hu Juren as a lawyer to fight a lawsuit with our family. Speaking of this, Ji Shi laughed coldly. Comforting Dou Zhaodao, "The eighth criminal still has a subordinate alive, so the subordinate is willing to come to the court to testify against the Pang family, and then I want to see what the Pang family has to say." ”

Dou Zhao nodded.

Sue. That will have to wait for Dou Shishu and Wang Xingyi to show it.

She asked, "Can you find out who leaked my whereabouts?" ”

"No news yet." Ji said worriedly, "Mama Liu took someone to Xifu overnight under the pretext that she had lost something at home. You've got to find this person. Otherwise, you're in a bad situation! ”

Ji Yong said suddenly: "Do you want me to help you check?" ”

Without waiting for Dou Zhao to speak, Ji Shi said anxiously: "See, you are a guest!" ”

Ji Yong disagreed, and said, "Since I have encountered it, how can I not care?" ”

Ji's brows furrowed tightly.

Dou Zhao hurriedly played the round: "Thank you cousin of the Ji family." Since Mama Liu has passed, let Mama Liu check it! If Mama Liu hadn't found anything all day today, it wouldn't be too late for the Ji family's cousin to make another move! ”

Ji Yong nodded. With his head bowed, he used his breakfast elegantly.

Ji Shi seemed to be very strange Ji Yong's kindness, and glanced at Dou Zhao a little strangely.

Dou Zhao thought about Chen Qushui.

One day and one night, I wonder if he can look up something?

She didn't want Ji Yong to meddle in this matter.

After lunch, Dou Zhao said goodbye and went back to Xifu.

Grandmother didn't know about this yet, but she was a little unhappy that Mama Liu came to check on the servant women in the house: "After all, Xidou's business." Even if you want to check, you have to wait until you come back to check it. ”

"This is also because I am afraid that it will lose its traces after a long time." Dou Zhao comforted his grandmother for a long time, and when he went out, he saw Chen Qushui standing at the door.

He smiled confidently at Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao knew that he had gained, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

The two talked as they walked.

“…… The person who reported the news was Liu Wan, but he was already dead. I found out that Du An was resting at an inn called Ping'an in Lingshou County yesterday, and I have asked Liu Xiaofeng to invite him...... Mama Liu wants to check them one by one, the progress is very slow, I'm afraid there won't be any results today. ”

Go to Kyoto without going through Reiju.

"Then let's help Mama Liu point out the maze, right?" Dou Zhao smiled, "It's better for the second lady to come forward in this matter." ”

"Okay!" Chen Qushui also agreed. said: "I think Miss should still invite a few more skilled people to be guards, for fear that someone will attack your idea again." ”

"Sir and I want to go together." Dou Zhao smiled and told Chen Qushui about the example of 10,000 taels of silver she could receive every year from now on, "Why don't you ask Chen Xiaofeng for them?" She said a few people she was keeping an eye on at the time.

Mr. Chen smiled, "Fourth Miss's vision is so good, I'm going to do this!" ”

Soon. Mama Liu searched out fifty taels of snowflake silver from Liu Wan's house.

The second wife was very dissatisfied: "Continue to investigate, we must find out the person who bought Liu Wan." ”

In the evening, Chen Xiaofeng brought Du ane back.

Du An saw Dou Zhao's whole body trembling, but his mouth was closed tightly, looking like I didn't say anything, what can you do with me.

Dou Zhao smiled: "Let's find a way to hand it over to the second wife!" ”

Du ane was stunned and said, "You, you don't interrogate me?" ”

"I'll interrogate you, will you say?" Dou Zhao said disdainfully, "What's more, what's the difference between you and not?" As long as the second wife wants to believe that you have something to do with this matter, Wang Yingxue has something to do with it. You don't have to say it. ”

Duane was dumbfounded.

Dou Zhao handed over the matter of Du An and the selection of guards to Mr. Chen, thinking that he could easily relax, who knew that the fifth uncle had a letter.

At this moment, a letter came from the fifth uncle.

In the letter, he said that he was very much in favor of the happy events of the Wu and Dou families, and asked the second wife not to be upset, the Wu family was innocent and a serious scholar, and Dou Zhao would not suffer if he got married.

There was no mention of Dou Zhao's abduction.

Obviously, two letters were missed on the way.

The second lady couldn't figure it out for a while, so she went to Ji's field to complain: "...... Aunt Shou can marry better, why should she marry into the Wu family? ”

The Ji family said with a smile: "The fourth young master of the Wu family was grown up with our own eyes, and he is honest and simple, which is more praised than marrying a stranger." ”

The second lady sighed.

Someone said in confusion: "Dou Zhao is going to be engaged to the fourth young master of the Pang family?" ”

Ji and the second wife turned around and saw Ji Yong standing at the door with a surprised face.
