Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhang's Secret
Asked why no one went to visit the Zhang family last night, Pearl sneered, "Because of my health, I didn't go back to my parents' house in the third year of junior high school." All made an appointment with the second sister and went back to their parents' house together yesterday. My parents were very happy, the whole family was very happy, the whole family ate and drank, talked and laughed, and then Zhang retched, which was a mess of this rare moment of reunion. The family doesn't want to see Zhang, such an adulteress, everyone can't hide, how can they care about her life or death, it is because of her that my second brother is still a single, and when others are like him, they are all fathers, when my second brother will be a father, I can't say! ”
"Listening to Madame's meaning, it seems that she is very dissatisfied with the Zhang family, if this is the case, it seems that Madame and your family are suspected of harming the Zhang family." Zhou Jian's words were obviously to scare the pearls,
Pearl said with a smile, "It's not difficult to divorce a woman, our family cares more about reputation, cares about my second brother's future, and killing the Zhang family is not good for our family or my second brother at all." I don't know if I have ever performed an autopsy? How did Zhang die? ”
Zhou Jian said, "According to the statement, Zhang's died because of the heavy bleeding caused by the miscarriage. At this point, he paused and continued, "There are many causes of miscarriage, it must be medication, or emotional stimulation. ”
Pearl looked at Zhou Jian and said, "It's not just our Liu family in the family, there is Xiaohong by Zhang's side, it is Zhang's people, if there is such a thing, it is impossible for Xiaohong not to know." Besides, yesterday, a woman from the village came to help with the work, so if there was anything unusual, she could naturally ask about it. You're talking about being forced to take pills and being stimulated. Then at the scene, in the place where she died, traces of the conflict must be seen. There is another point, which the adults must have overlooked, she will inevitably have a stomachache if she has a miscarriage, which is a long process. From a stomachache to bleeding, it takes at least an hour, so long. Why didn't she call for help? Then there is only one answer, she wants to have an abortion. ”
Zhou Jian was silent for a long time when he heard Pearl's words, obviously Pearl overturned his suspicions about the Liu family. At this time, ** came in. There is also a crying wife and a thin and cowardly little daughter in white.
"Mr. Zhang, please be seated." Zhou Jian said,
** thanked Lord Zhou, then sat down with his family, and said to Zhou Jian, "Lord Zhou, the little girl is not more troublesome, and she doesn't know how to be careful when she is pregnant, so there was an accident, and the son-in-law's family is innocent." ”
Zhou Jian picked up the tea bowl that was set aside. said, "This matter, the official has almost investigated, how to close the case, naturally in accordance with the law, Mr. Zhang don't worry." ”
**Understand that the county order is not going to close the case hastily, and I am a little at a loss for a while. Pearl looked at Zhang's mother and little Zhang on the other side, their grief was obvious, but there seemed to be something more.
Zhou Jian said to his subordinates. "Bring Xiaohong's confession."
"Yes, sir." The official at the door hurriedly went, and Mingqian and Pearl in the house were a little confused, and it didn't take long. A servant handed over a confession, that is, two pieces of paper, to Zhou Jian. Zhou Jian directly handed over the confession to Ming Qian.
Ming Qian glanced at it quickly, his expression was very calm, and he looked at Zhou Jian, who was calmly drinking tea. Pearl was in a hurry, snatched the confession directly, looked at it quickly, and grew her mouth in surprise, and looked at the Zhang family opposite.
**Jumped over in two steps, snatched the confession in the pearl's hand, and wanted to tear it off after a few glances, but was stopped by Lord Zhou.
"Mr. Zhang, when you go back to study, the official will also take care of your family, especially ...... You also have a young daughter. ”
"Yes...... ** wilted,
Pearl felt that she was too stimulated, and her hair was a little dizzy, Ming Qian helped his wife and said to Zhou Jian, "Thank you, Lord Zhou, for your affection, I have received it in my heart, and I will definitely repay my lord for his maintenance today." ”
"Well said, well said." Zhou Jian said with a smile.
Pearl returned to the room, and soon after, all the people of the Liu family gathered in Pearl's room, and it was obvious that Pearl's situation was even more worrying.
"Pearl, how are you? Tell my mother, please go to the doctor! Fang Shi shouted at Liu Tonghammer,
Liu Tonghammer nodded hurriedly, and was about to go out to invite someone, but Pearl stopped him and said,
"I'm fine, I just haven't rested well. Let's get down to business! Husband, tell everyone about it! Everyone in the family should know about this matter, otherwise in the future, if someone attacks us because of the Zhang family, everyone will know how to deal with it. ”
Everyone's eyes were on Ming Qian, especially Liu Gui, who was the most eager to get an answer, Zhou Xianling had already left, but the mystery left by the Zhang family had not been solved.
Ming Qian obviously felt a little embarrassed, but he still spoke, "Before the Zhang family got married, she had a dirty relationship with **, that is, her biological father. Later, when Zhang was old, she was allowed to marry. Every time Zhang goes back to his parents' house, he will go to Zhang's room to have a secret tryst with her. Zhang's mother and little Zhang all knew about this matter. Xiaohong is even more aware of this matter, and helps to control the wind. Zhang promised her that when she gave birth to a child, he would raise her as a flat wife. ”
This matter, last night, Ming Qian had already come out of Xiaohong's mouth, and today the county order asked, and this is all said, the Zhang family is also afraid that things will make a big fuss, and they have not seen Xiaohong, so they dare not publicize it and are eager to close the case.
Fang Clan shouted in shock, "You...... It's true? ”
The third girl was already disgusted next to her, and she was about to vomit, Liu Gui clenched her fists even more resentfully, Liu Hai and Zhao glanced at each other, and they also felt disgusting, not to mention the second girl, panting for breath.
Bai Sixian said at this time, "I'll send the two girls back first, and then invite a doctor to come and see the situation of the eldest sister, and if I can, I should go back to my own home." ”
"Then it's troublesome brother-in-law, our carriage is fast, let's go back in that car first! Your carriage is followed by others. Ming Qian said thoughtfully. The Western-style carriage in Pearl Lane, with glass windows, and very warm, and a stove inside, lit a charcoal fire and quickly heated, very well sealed. The most important thing is that the special pneumatic rubber tires and shock absorbing springs can make the carriage less bumpy, and because the weight of the carriage is very light, and there are two horses pulling it, it is twice as fast as other carriages!
Pearl is going to rest, and the people of the Liu family also have to digest this disgusting news, and besides, the Zhang family is dead, and her funeral still has to be handled by the Liu family.
Pearl fell asleep again in a daze, as if someone had come to see her, felt her pulse, and said something. When Pearl woke up again, Mingqian happened to come in with the medicine, followed by Liu Zi, Qingfeng and Mingyue, and the three girls all came over.
"Why are they all here? Who's going to take care of the house? Pearl was worried that someone would take advantage of the loophole.
Liu Zi hurriedly replied, "My eldest brother passed over from Zhuangzi. ”
Liu Zi is talking about Liu Xuan, she is the most valued by Pearl, with him, Pearl is relieved, Mingqian sat down next to Pearl, put the medicine on the side of the kang, and then helped Pearl to sit up, Pearl hurriedly asked,
"Has the doctor been here? What did he say? ”
"The doctor said that you haven't rested well, and you have some colds, just take some medicine." Ming Qian said,
Pearl shook her head, "Let the girls boil me some ginger soup, I can't take medicine, taking medicine is not good for children, it will give birth to sick children, if I really can't eat it again, I think my physical condition is okay, I don't need to take medicine." ”
Mingqian didn't insist, and the doctor also said the same, if the body can persist, it's better not to eat.
Pearl is busy raising the baby and recuperating from illness, Mingqian has to take care of his wife, and he has to help the people of the Liu family with the funeral. Zhang's funeral was not grand, and the Liu family didn't even invite people from the village, but just found a monk to recite the scriptures, and then cleaned up the room where Zhang's lived and made a warehouse.
Pearl also took the time to ask Xiaohong's situation, Mingqian told her that Xiaohong's deed of sale was found from Zhang's dowry, Mingqian had reached an agreement with the Zhang family, gave them fifty taels of silver, and bought Xiaohong, Xiaohong is a useful person for the time being, so Mingqian sent her back to her parents' house to ensure that she would not be sold, this is reassuring.
