Chapter 203: Preparing to Leave
That night, news came from the county government that Su Man'er had killed Su County's favorite Aunt Lotus, and Su County's order was grief-stricken and committed suicide soon after. Yuan Junfeng and Xue Rou didn't think that things would become like this in the future, when they arrived at the county office, Mrs. Su pulled Su Man'er and drove people out while scolding, Su Man'er stubbornly stood in the courtyard motionless.
"You unfilial daughter, you go, you leave me, I don't want to see you in my life." The subordinates stood aside tremblingly, and no one dared to go over to persuade them. But in just two days, this bright, flamboyant, confident, and even a little arrogant woman suddenly became strange, indifferent, and rejected people thousands of miles away.
It seems that people like to be saviors, and yesterday they wished they would never see each other again for the rest of their lives, but today they begin to sympathize and bear it. If he said it, Yuan Junfeng would definitely laugh at her, she was really not suitable to be a bad person, and there was no way to really be bad to anyone.
"Brother Yuan......" Xue Rou turned her head to look to the side, Yuan Junfeng sighed slightly, let go of her hand and whispered, "You persuade them here, I'll go and see the Su County Order." Now that the county government has no leader, and there is a murder case, at this time, whether he wants to stand up and preside over the overall situation. Xue Rou understood, nodded, and walked forward after watching him leave. "It's just autumn, but it's a lot cooler at night, and if you keep standing like this, you'll catch a cold. Whatever happens, let's go first. ”
"What to say, what is there to say, she is an unfilial girl, a wolf-hearted thing, what is wrong with the lord to her, how can he be so ruthless, why doesn't she want to think about what I will do after he does this, what will I do with this family. Why is my life so miserable, my daughter who worked so hard to raise her ended up harming my pillow person. Mrs. Su sat at the door with her face covered, crying without an image.
Xue Rou didn't know about the family, and she didn't know what happened today to make Su Man'er so angry. Even regardless of Lunchang, he had to kill the lotus in advance before the court held him accountable. Maybe even he didn't expect that Su Xianling would hang himself because of the lotus. No matter how strong she is, no matter how pretending to be just a teenage girl, how can she not be scared and panic.
But what Mrs. Su said is not wrong, no matter whether the Su County Order is good or not, it is always the head of the family, the pillar of this family, once he is gone, this family will be completely finished, leaving them orphans and widows, and their lives are destined to be a hundred times sadter. She is not only for herself, but also for Su Man'er, and she is even more angry at her own incompetence, if he can be braver, why should his daughter come to this point.
God tricks? The impermanence of life? Perhaps. But what she is even more helpless is that she has lost everything and has to pay his only daughter in the end, and when she looks back on this life, she has no joy, so how can she not hate, resent, and cry loudly. Desperate.
"Mrs. Su, do you know what happened today? Do you know why Miss Su did this? Maybe she has her own struggles. Although Xue Rou didn't like Su Man'er, she could see that she was not a cold-blooded, ruthless, and ruthless person, and today's matter would definitely not be so simple. She wanted to know why, and she wanted to ease the relationship between their mother and daughter.
After Xue Rou finished speaking, she looked at Su Man'er, Su Man'er didn't appreciate it, and smiled sarcastically, "Don't think that I will be grateful to you if you help me speak, if you didn't suddenly come to Yunshou County, how could our family become like this, if you say that someone must be in charge, then you too." The matter of Huaxi Village has been circulating for a hundred years, and for so many years, the county order of Yunshou County has come and gone, why do you have to hold on to my father, just because he was in office when you came, just because he accepted the village flower of Huaxi Village? ”
"Miss Su, I know you will feel unfair, but when you think about this, have you thought about the villagers of Huaxi Village and those innocent victims. You're right, your dad isn't the worst, but he's not innocent either. You know very well in your heart that it has been five years since your father took office, and in the last evaluation, your father was only excellent, so do you know why the imperial court gave you the middle excellent? ”
"This is a matter of the court, how can Miss Ben know." Su Man'er looked arrogant, a little panicked in her heart, but she didn't show any timidity on her lips. Xue Rou saw that his mind was not debunked, and continued, "You know very well in your heart that your father came to Yunshou County to be the county magistrate, and for five years, your father has always abided by the old rules, copied Xuanke, and never took the initiative to do anything beneficial to the people. The most odious thing is that for his own selfishness, he helped the people of Huaxi Village hide the cause of the death of the eldest son of the village chief's family five years ago. Murder pays for life, this has been the truth since ancient times, Huaxi Village is guilty, why can it be free to this day? ”
"If you want to talk about responsibility, lotus is the biggest responsibility, you catch him, why do you want to hold on to my father, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, hundreds of officials, and how many people have clean hands and feet, why do you keep holding on to my father." Su Man'er screamed, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart, Xue Rou stood aside and kept looking at Su Man'er.
She disdains Su Man'er's luck and theory, as a court official, it is your duty to ask for the people's lives, if you put the cart before the horse, there will be no pity and injustice. But it doesn't make sense to say more, Su Xianling is dead, and it is not so important to discuss the merits and demerits clearly, and it is not so important to discuss it clearly.
Su Man'er seemed to have thought of this, and after laughing twice, she strode forward, grabbed Xue Rou's collar, and roared with tears and laughter, "Do you know why I killed that slut?" I don't want to, I've endured it for so many years, even if I hate him, I never thought about what I really did to her, but today...... My dad ...... My father, who has loved me the most since I was a child, knew that his time was short, and he would even implicate the clansmen, the first thing he thought of was this slut, my mother and I couldn't compare to this slut, I was unwilling, I was angry, I wanted to know, what would he do if this slut died? Speaking of this, Su Man'er thought of something, her face changed greatly, she squatted on the ground with her head covered and suddenly cried loudly, crying and shouting, "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to see your reaction, I didn't want to force your ...... to death"
Far away, her guess turned out to be true. At this moment, she didn't know whether to say that Su Xianling was affectionate or ruthless, and she didn't know whether to blame Xue Rou for being ruthless or pitiful for her situation. When he opened his mouth, he swallowed the words back to his mouth. When Mrs. Su heard this, she suddenly stopped crying, stood up with her support on the ground, and stumbled forward. "Man'er, what you just said is true, your father really doesn't care about our life and death to save that slut's life?"
"Mother's ......" Su Man'er threw herself into Mrs. Su's arms, and vented her grievances that had been held for half a night, Xue Rou took two steps back, and stood quietly aside, not approaching, not speaking. Half an hour later, Su Man'er and Mrs. Su had cried enough, and helped each other to the house. Su Man'er finally remembered Xue Rou, got up and looked at the door, "Since you're here, come in and sit down." ”
Xue Rou didn't want to come in, but seeing that Yuan Junfeng hadn't come back, she thought that if she had been standing outside, their mother and daughter would also be affected, and after thinking about it, she walked in, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty to disturb today." ”
"Miss Xue, I don't want to say thank you to you, because what I just said is true, but I also know that you can not come today, you don't care about your past suspicions, you came to comfort our mother and daughter, I am not unappreciative, I am kind and agreeable, but thank you, I'm sorry, I can't say it. I don't want to say it either. Su Man'er was playing with the teacup, her eyes full of confusion. After today, my mother and I still don't know what to do, all this is what you gave us, I can't say thank you to an enemy, talk and laugh ......"
"I just came here to see if there was anything I could do to help, as for what you said, it's your business to be grateful or not, but it's my business to sit down or not." Xue Rou walked to the table and sat down, and glanced at their mother and daughter, in the end, she was a little unbearable, "Today's incident, the impact is very bad, even if Brother Yuan has the intention to cover it up, it is already too late, Miss Su wants to be safe and sound, but I will beg Brother Yuan to try to make your life better......"
"No, there is no difference between good and bad now. Besides, even if it's good today, what about tomorrow? If reality is dark after all, why should I deceive myself? If I want you to leave Yunshou County as soon as possible, I hope I won't see you when I leave Yunshou County. I hope that when I leave, Yunshou County will still be beautiful for me, and not as "extremely sad and heartbroken" as ...... now......
Xue Rou stood up and nodded with a serious face, "If this is your last request, I will definitely fulfill you." But Miss Su, we don't owe you anything, the Su family is to blame for getting to where it is today. I don't like you much, if it weren't for the leaderless dragons in Yunshou County, Brother Yuan wouldn't have come forward, and I wouldn't have come over. I don't need to be thanked, and I don't want to be misunderstood. The hour is getting late, so rest well. "This may be their last night in the county office. Xue Rou hoped that they would thank them for their time to say something in their hearts, otherwise they would not have a chance in the future.
Leaving the county office, Yuan Junfeng was not finished there, Xue Rou found someone to talk to him and went back to the inn first. Lying on the bed, tossing and turning I don't know how long it took to fall asleep, and when I woke up the next day, Yuan Junfeng had already returned. He was sitting at the table writing excerpts, his expression focused, and his face solemn. Xue Rou got up and got dressed and walked to the table, "How is the matter of the county government handled?" She promised Su Man'er last night that she would leave Yunshou County in the next two days, and she wanted to test Yuan Junfeng's progress first.
"The county yamen has handed it over to Master Liu, I have already written down the matter here, and I will send it to the capital later, and before the new county order of Yunshou County comes down, everything in the yamen will be handled by Master Liu for the time being." When Xue Rou heard this, her face was happy, "Then when can we leave here?" ”
