Mama Zhu has been by Su Jiu'er's side for so long, and she is very good at observing words and feelings, so she naturally knows what Su Jiu'er is thinking.

Mama Zhu silently followed behind Su Jiu'er, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say to Su Jiu'er.

Back in the bedroom, Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Mama Zhu, who was standing beside her, and glanced at the stool next to her, "Mama sit and talk." ”

Mama Zhu hesitated, then walked to the side of the stool and sat down, her eyes lowered slightly, and her expression was very submissive.

"Mama, I've never asked Xiao Si about it before." Su Jiu'er didn't bother to go around the bend, and went straight to the point, "But today's matter seems to be related to ......"

"Madame, I understand what you mean." Mama Zhu pursed her dry lips and raised her eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, "I came out of the Wanjia family, and Madame knows it." ”

Su Jiu'er nodded, if Mama Zhu didn't come out of the Wanjia family, she probably wouldn't want Mama Zhu.

"The Wan family has practiced medicine for generations, and the slave maid was once the son of the Wan family, and it can be regarded as decent in the Wan family, and the last head of the Wan family and his sister were also brought up by the slave and the maid." Mama Zhu thought of Wan Shu and Wan Lin, and her voice was a little choked.

"But Wan Shu Gongzi and Wan Lin girl?" Su Jiu'er turned her head to look at Mama Zhu and asked in a low voice.

"Madame knows Wan Gongzi and Miss Wan?" Mama Zhu looked at Su Jiu'er in surprise.

"I fell in love with Miss Wan, but I didn't expect that Wanjia would suffer." Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes and sighed, things are not people.

"Zhou Jiagongzi Zhou Zhou Gui fell in love with Miss Wan, tied up Miss Wan, and ruined her innocence," Mama Zhu remembered the past, and felt a little more bitter in her heart, "After Miss Wan returned home, she couldn't think about it for a while, and hanged herself." ”

Su Jiu'er's face changed suddenly, she never thought that Wan Lin would be ......

"When Wan Gongzi found out about this, he pickled Zhou Gui and made him no longer able to walk humanely." Mama Zhu's brows became tighter and tighter, and she sighed melancholy, "Wednesday Gui is the only son of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is angry, so it is said that Wan Gongzi colluded with the Huns, the evidence is conclusive, and the Wan family is gone. ”

"I see." A trace of hatred flashed in Su Jiu'er's eyes, she didn't like those men who were by strong women the most, she was almost by strong women, and now that she thinks about it, she is still scared.

If she had been defiled at that time, Su Jiu'er felt that she might not have the courage to live.

Sighing lightly, Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Mama Zhu and nodded slowly, "In the future, if you look at the child carefully, I'm afraid that something will happen." ”

In the past, in the countryside, far away from the county seat, Su Jiu'er naturally didn't worry about Gu Si being recognized.

Now that she is here, Su Jiu'er has a hunch in her heart, maybe someone has already recognized Gu Silai.

"The slave knows." The stone that Mama Zhu had been holding in her throat finally put down, raised her eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, and her voice was a little grateful, "Madam, thank you very much." ”

"There's no need to say that anymore." Su Jiu'er was absentmindedly thinking about other things, and said casually, "Just take care of the two children in the future." ”

Mama Zhu answered "yes", and then turned around and left.

The Zhou family?

Su Jiu'er vaguely remembered that in the previous life, he seemed to have heard An Zeqing talk about the Zhou family.

But she couldn't remember who the Zhou family was.

A maid died in the house, and Su Jiu'er asked the housekeeper to give some silver to Xiaoqiu's family according to the rules of the house.

It stands to reason that Xiaoqiu's family should come over to collect the corpse, but Xiaoqiu is the one who committed the crime after all, and Su Jiu'er directly threw Xiaoqiu's body into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Since he knew that Xiaoqiu was dead, the man who had his tongue cut off was holding his head and loading the tree, and the guards on the side couldn't stop him.

Later, someone from Xiaoqiu's family came, and Su Jiu'er learned that the man whose tongue was cut off was Xiaoqiu's own brother He Mu.

Originally, Su Jiu'er thought that He Mu was the one who came to kidnap Gu Si, but she didn't expect him to be Xiaoqiu's relative.

If He Mu was Xiaoqiu's relative, Su Jiu'er felt that He Mu would be willing to help her catch the person who killed Xiaoqiu.

Su Jiu'er was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, doing embroidery slowly.

"How were you spending the past two days in prison?" Su Jiu'er didn't raise her head, stared at the embroidery in her hand, and asked casually.

"Hmm."

Listening to the indistinct voice, Su Jiu'er thought that He Mu couldn't speak.

Su Jiu'er put the embroidery in the sewing basket, turned his head to look at He Mu who was kneeling on the ground and dying, and saw that he was tied up with a rope like a beast, and felt a little sympathy in his heart.

But when she thought that Xiaoqiu actually sold Gu Si, the sympathy in Su Jiu'er's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"These two days are enough for you to figure it out." Su Jiu'er knew that He Mukou couldn't speak, "If what I said is right, you will nod, if it is not, you will shake your head, do you understand now?" ”

He Mu slowly raised his head, there was no trace of life on his dull face, and he nodded numbly.

"Did someone ask you to come to the county government and arrange for Xiaoqiu to sell Gu Si?" Su Jiu'er looked at He Mu nervously, for fear of missing He Mu's movements.

He Mu looked at Su Jiu'er with a thick lip, and then shook his head.

"Did someone ask you to come to the county office?"

He Mu shook his head and knelt on the ground without love.

"You want to come to see Xiaoqiu yourself?"

At the mention of Xiaoqiu's name, Su Jiu'er saw that He Mu's eyes were wet, and when she saw him nodding, she realized in her heart.

He Mu nodded.

"Then did someone arrange for Xiaoqiu to do something?"

He Mu looked stunned, but still shook his head firmly.

At first, He Mu nodded and shook his head decisively, but the last thing she asked, He Mu seemed to be lying.

"Take it down." Su Jiu'er opened her mouth and instructed the housekeeper on the side, and then picked up the embroidery in her hand and continued to embroider.

"Why are you still embroidering?" Zhao Shi came out of the small kitchen with a bowl of lotus seed porridge, walked to Su Jiu'er's side, put the bowl on the stone table, and said very distressedly, "Don't embroider the picture, this thing hurts your eyes too much." ”

There are too many worries these days, Su Jiu'er is in a mess, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao, and said weakly, "Mother, I don't think I can do anything well." ”

Zhao was a little surprised when he heard Su Jiu'er's words, and smiled, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Xianggong is far away, he is not there, I dare not do anything, for fear that I will do something wrong." Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, and her voice was a little helpless.

In the last life, the housemother of the An family was Zhao Xiu'er, and the housekeeping power was naturally in Zhao Xiu'er's hands.

At that time, Su Jiu'er felt that Zhao Xiu'er was just eating, drinking, and talking to others every day, and she didn't do anything serious, so she felt that housekeeping was a very easy thing.

But when she really sat in the position of the county magistrate, Su Jiu'er understood why everyone paid attention to the right family when they got married.

Even if the picture she embroidered is beautiful, she doesn't know anything about this housekeeper.

For those things sent by outsiders, Su Jiu'er asked people to write them all down, put them in the warehouse, and sent some other things to each family one by one.

Fortunately, she has some money to spare, otherwise she really can't afford to pay back that Eli Lai.

"What's this, it's just a housekeeper, it's not difficult." Zhao looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile on his eyebrows, and said softly, "It just so happens that I'm here, I'll teach you." ”

"If I had discovered Xiaoqiu's abnormality earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been in the situation I have today." Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly, and said nervously, "Did you say that?" ”

"Even if you found out about Xiaoqiu's abnormality earlier, you have to send her away." Zhao Shi said with a cold face, "Even her brother asked the head catcher to try his case, and the charges were sorted out, and he sent someone to ask Gu Feng to sign a letter, and sent the person far away, so that he would never set foot here." ”

Su Jiu'er knew that he couldn't ask anything from He Mu's mouth, so he nodded clearly.

"However," Zhao paused, looked at Su Jiu'er calmly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that he will die before he leaves the county seat." ”

Su Jiu'er's face stiffened, and then the corners of her lips hooked, leaned into Zhao's ear, and whispered a few words.

The expression on Zhao's face became softer and softer, and he nodded, "That's exactly the truth, not only staring at him, but also staring at his family." ”

"The headcatcher has been done." Su Jiu'er said, her eyes inadvertently swept to Xiao Xia not far away, her brows furrowed slightly, and she hesitated, "What should Xiao Xia do?" ”

"She's naturally derelict in her duties, just play a few boards." Zhao glanced at the people in the courtyard and said in a low voice, "Each of them, you have to know what they want in their hearts." ”

Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao suspiciously, a little puzzled.

"The backyard is much more complicated than ours in the countryside, and you can only make it easier for you to know the origin of each of them, their personalities, and what they want." Zhao slowly explained to Su Jiu'er, "In this backyard, what you want is these people who ask for it, and if you pinch what they want, they will be loyal." ”

Hearing what Zhao said, Su Jiu'er felt that this was the truth, she accepted Gu Si as her righteous son and gave Gu Si a legitimate identity, which was what Mama Zhu wanted to see the most.

It is because she gave Mama Zhu what she wanted, that Mama Zhu is so loyal to her now.

Su Jiu'er didn't expect that she would get Mama Zhu's loyalty by mistake.

"Those who don't want anything, or who you can't handle, don't reuse it." Seeing that Su Jiu'er had already begun to open up, Zhao laughed slowly, "Also, be generous, and prepare more silver for rewards on weekdays, so that they will listen to you honestly." ”

Su Jiu'er summed up what Zhao said, but it was just an exchange of interests between the two sides and each taking what they needed.

"You still have a lot to learn," Zhao said, pulling the hem of Su Jiu'er's clothes, "Look, that girl in pink clothes, I heard that she often goes to the study to inquire about Gu Feng." ”

No matter how sluggish Su Jiu'er was, he understood what Zhao meant, and his face darkened.
