Lu Jiao's complexion was a bit subtle, she ground her teeth secretly, watching how she would deal with Lu Gui when she went back, she told him not to tell Xie Yunjin, and he actually told him.

Lu Jiao slowly smiled, looked at Captain Xu and Mrs. Zhang and said, "He said earlier that he would come to pick me up."

Xu Xianwei and Mrs. Zhang nodded at the same time knowing it, so that's it.

County Captain Xu said with a smile: "Miss Lu and Xie Xiucai have such a good relationship."

After Xu Xianwei finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang, that way I will treat you well in the future.

Mrs. Zhang really wanted to throw a blank stare at him, you, are you no better than Xie Xiucai? They only have one wife from the beginning to the end, how about you, the concubines are brought in one by one, how can you compare with others.

Mrs. Zhang ignored Captain Xu and ordered the little girl: "Go and invite Xie Xiucai to come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

The little girl went out.

Xie Yunjin was quickly invited into the flower hall in the backyard.

County Captain Xu injured Xie Yunjin because of his own reasons, so he got up very guilty and welcomed Xie Yunjin in and sat down.

"Xie Xiucai's injury is alright?"

Xie Yunjin nodded lightly: "It's much better."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Jiao, his black eyes were full of hesitation, but he didn't say a word, he just looked at Lu Jiao steadfastly.

Lu Jiao looked at him like this and gave him a smile.

Xie Yunjin's angry heart turned into rain and dew in an instant, and she couldn't get angry at all.

In the future, he might be a man whose legs go limp when he sees his wife, and who can't get angry.

But thinking about that scene, he felt sweet in his heart.

It turns out that those who are afraid of the lady are not really afraid, but because they like the lady and don't want to make her angry.

In the flower hall, Lu Jiao said, "Maybe I found out about the person from the Xu family who leaked your affairs? Do you know who it is?"

Xie Yunjin immediately stared at Lu Jiao and asked, "Who is it?"

Before Lu Jiao had time to speak, she heard screams outside Xu's residence, followed by a commotion.

Xu Xianwei and Mrs. Zhang naturally heard it too. They were so angry that they wanted to get angry. Didn't they see that there were guests? What's the fuss, it's over.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the girl beside her and ordered, "Xiao Zi, go and see what's going on?"

Xiao Zi lifted her feet and went out, and came back after a while to report: "My lord, it's bad, Zhang Xiaoniang was seriously injured, half of her face was covered in blood, Shen Xiaoniang was gone, and her clothes and jewelry were also gone. "

Xu Xianwei and Mrs. Zhang looked very ugly, they looked at Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

After speaking, the two got up and walked out, Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin also got up and followed them out.

On the way, Lu Jiao whispered to Xie Yunjin, "Do you know who leaked your secret?"

Xie Yunjin looked at the person who approached him, his mind trembled slightly, and his mind was lost.

"Who."

Lu Jiao quickly said, "Shen Xiu."

This time Xie Yunjin was startled, and quickly asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Shen Xiu, Shen Xiu is Xu Xianwei's ninth concubine. She changed her name to Shen Lian. Xu Qingyin stalked you earlier, but she coaxed you if nothing else. She probably wanted Xu Qingyin to snatch you away. , let me lose you."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Xie Yunjin's eyes were frighteningly bright. He really wanted to say, I am yours, and you will never lose me.

But dare not say.

Lu Jiao went on to say, "No accident, she should be the one who leaked that you were the aide of the magistrate Hu."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Xie Yunjin's expression turned cold.

He has nothing to do with this woman, Shen Xiu. At most, he had spoken a few words in the village. It was because Shen Xiu always followed him, and he was annoyed, so he said a few words to her, and politely rejected her. , don't keep following him.

He didn't expect that the woman behind would cause him such a big trouble.

Xie Yunjin's face was extremely cold, and Lu Jiao followed Mrs. Zhang, the county captain, all the way to the courtyard where the concubines of Xu's mansion lived.

Although Xu Xianwei is only a small official, the ancestors of the Xu family are rich, and his position as county lieutenant was also bought with money.

Although Xu's family is not short of money, several concubines live in a large courtyard. Xu Jiazu ordered that concubines can only live in the same courtyard after giving birth. So far, except for Xu Qingyin's mother who has an independent courtyard, the others The girls all live in a big courtyard.

At this time, the big courtyard was in chaos.

Many people whispered to each other, as soon as Captain Xu and Mrs. Zhang came over, all the concubines greeted them: "Master, Mrs. Zhang."

Xu Xianwei shouted angrily: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

One of the older concubines came over and said, "Master, Zhang Xiaoniang was crushed to death in Shen Xiaoniang's room. Shen Xiaoniang disappeared. Everyone guessed that Shen Xiaoniang wanted to run away. She was crushed to death."

Xu Xianwei and Mrs. Zhang's faces turned dark all of a sudden. When they heard the report, they thought Zhang Ms. Zhang was only seriously injured, but they didn't expect to die.

Xu Xianwei and Mrs. Zhang raised their feet and walked to the small courtyard where Shen Xiaoniang lived.

Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin glanced at each other quickly. If it really proves that Zhang Xiaoniang was beaten to death by that woman Shen Xiu, then that woman is the murderer. If they don't need the two of them to clean her up this time, she will die. one.

Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin followed Xu Xianwei and his wife, and they all entered Shen Xiu's room.

Zhang Xiaoniang is Zhao Hehua, the adopted daughter of Zhao Butou. At this moment, half of her face is covered with blood, and she is leaning against the chair. There are broken vases all over the floor, and she is motionless without breathing.

County Captain Xu looked at Zhang Xiaoniang, then quickly turned around to look at Lu Jiao and asked, "Is she really dead?"

Lu Jiao stepped forward to check and confirmed that Zhang Xiaoniang was really out of breath.

Lu Jiao looked at her, not knowing what to say.

A good life is lost like this. If An'an married Nalu Da Niu in a decent way, where did these things come from.

Lu Jiao stood up thinking about it, looked at Xu Xianwei and said, "It's true that I died. I was seriously injured by someone and lost too much blood to death."

Not to mention how ugly Xu Xianwei's face was, at the same time he secretly made up his mind that he would never accept concubines again, and few concubines are good things.

Xu Xianwei was thinking angrily, and Mrs. Zhang on the side called out: "Where is the girl who waits beside Zhang Xiaoniang? Why didn't you follow her?"

As soon as Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, someone outside the house dragged Zhang Xiaoniang's girl Cui Lu and Shen Xiaoniang's girl Xiaohong into the room. The two girls' faces were pale and their bodies were trembling.

Seeing Captain Xu and Mrs. Zhang, they knelt down and cried with a plop.

"My lord, it was Shen Xiaoniang who smashed Zhang Xiaoniang with a vase. The servants were frightened at that time, so?"
