An hour later.
Pei Heng left Ningyuan after having enough wine and food.
Xu Wanning watched Pei Heng fly up the high wall with her own eyes.
Standing on a wall more than two meters high, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning suddenly met his eyes and was stunned for a moment: "...Do you have anything else?"
"It's okay." Pei Heng smiled, glanced at Xu Wanning again, and then jumped out of Xu Wanning's sight.
Xu Wanning touched her nose: "It's inexplicable."
At this moment, some people were elated and some were hysterical.
At this moment, Du Shi experienced humiliation and unbearable pain that she had never experienced in her life.
This group of rude government officials escorted her out of the Hou Mansion, one on the left and the other on the right, and then escorted her all the way back to the county government office.
Along the way, everyone pointed at her, some who knew her and some who didn't, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
"What did this woman do?"
"I don't know, but with so many government officials guarding the place and Mr. Wang also there, it must be a big case!"
"It won't be a murder."
"You have to pay with your life if you kill someone."
"But she is the Marquis's wife."
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, let alone the wife of a prince."
"Tsk tsk, I've lived a good life enough, I have to commit suicide."
"What do you mean by a good life? A good life is what she earned by squandering her daughter-in-law's dowry. Haven't you heard that two pawnshops in Yancheng found a thick stack of account books, which were all filled with the money she had pawned for her son over the years? The record of the daughter-in-law’s dowry.”
"Oh my god! So shameless?"
The crowd was chattering, and Mrs. Du wanted to refute, but she didn't dare to raise her head. She wanted to hide her head in the creaking nest. The road from the Marquis Mansion to the county government was not short. Wang Xingmin walked slowly on purpose, and Mrs. Du's face was finally completely lost. , completely.
But this is not the end.
When she arrived at the county government office, the government officials threw her into the lobby. Several killing sticks stood beside her. Du didn't even dare to move. Wang Xingmin came out soon, wearing official uniform and a black gauze hat, his face darkened. She was so frightened that she dared not speak out in anger.
When she goes out, she must tell the Marquis that this Wang Xingmin is working in the Marquis's mansion, and his black gauze hat is also worn all the way to his head.
"Ms. Du, the government found a body in your small Buddhist hall, can you plead guilty?"
Du retorted: "What crime do I admit? I don't know. The Buddha statue was given to me by Xu Wanning. She must have put it in. It must be her."
Tsk tsk, I'm afraid I'm really crazy.
Is it still interesting to discuss who put the body in it?
"You ordered this person to be killed." Wang Xingmin said coldly, completely losing his previous politeness in the Hou Mansion. "The body was found in your small Buddhist hall, and the witnesses and physical evidence are all there. How can you deny it?"
"What kind of witness? Are they the servants who were brought in? Everything they said is false." Du thought it was the servants who were brought in last time, and they said everything in order to make meritorious service.
Wang Xingmin sneered, "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Come, bring someone to bear witness."
Du Shi was already ready to argue, but when she saw Aunt Chun coming up, she was obviously stunned.
"A Chun."
Du Richun ignored her, but knelt down half a meter away from her, kowtowing: "Prisoner Du Richun, pay your respects to your lord."
"This is the witness. Du, you don't know her, right?" Wang Xingmin asked.
Du Shi was stunned.
Why is Achun a witness?
How could she betray her?
After a brief period of shock, there was a surge of anger: "Du Richun, you betrayed me!"
Du Richun lay prone on the ground, "Master Bing, it was she who ordered the battle to kill Liu Ji."
"Du Richun, you are my dog, how dare you bite me!" Du Shi's eyes widened angrily, "If it weren't for me, you would have turned into a pile of ashes, how dare you betray me? Why don't you die? , you go to hell, you go to die now!”
Du Shi was rude and insulting, but Du Richun's mood was stable, and his sadness and grievance had long since disappeared.
Yes, Madam has given up on herself a long time ago, but now.
Du Richun had long known who Du was.
When she got pregnant, Aqiu Adong had thoughts that she shouldn't have, hoping to get Du Shi to nod and let the Marquis show favor to them.
But Du was stingy and selfish, so she immediately went to find two families outside and married off Aqiu and Adong in a hurry.
When the two of them got married, Du Shi also gave them a lot of dowry, saying that they would enjoy happiness, but only Du Richun knew about it.
What is Du's plan?
When she saw A Qiu and A Dong getting married happily, her heart was filled with guilt.
Later, Mrs. Du gave the two of them to the young lady and the young master, keeping them far apart. As time went by, the feeling of guilt gradually faded away.
But just because it's faded doesn't mean it's gone.
"Madam, Aqiu Adong and I have followed you since we were seven or eight years old. We have followed you for decades. There is no credit, but hard work, right? Just because they want to follow the Marquis, you let your servants do it outside. The two of them found a family that was extremely poor and a wealthy family that never left medicine all year round. They married Aqiu and Adong, saying that it was for their own good. The two of them were grateful, and only the slaves knew about it. , you are here to train them, how happy you are to see Aqiu and Adong worry about their families for so many years!"
Du Shi said with a dark face: "They brought it upon themselves. These despicable servants are worthy of sharing a man with me? How big their faces are. I didn't beat them to death, so I'm merciful."
Du Richun looked at Du Shi with despair in his eyes.
This is a poisonous snake that cannot be warmed no matter how hard it is covered.
But why should she die?
Over the years, Du Richun believed that she had been loyal to Du Shi and worked hard without complaining. The harmful things she did were all ordered by Du Shi. She was always following Du Shi's orders, but why should she bear the responsibility alone?
If you want to die, let's die together!
She looked at Wang Xingmin, who was sitting high under the mirror, with bloodthirsty eyes: "Sir, I dare to guarantee it with my life. What I said is true. If there is a lie, I will be struck by thunder from heaven." , not a good death."
Mrs. Du was crazy. She stepped forward to catch Du Richun, but was caught by the yamen servant with quick eyesight and hands. She kicked and grabbed her, spittle flew everywhere, "Du Richun, you bitch, go to hell, go to hell." die."
Du Richun looked back at her.
Du's hairpin is messy, her hair is disheveled, and her clothes are full of wrinkles and dust. She has completely lost the nobility and elegance of the Marquis' wife. How is she different from the shrews and naughty women in the market?
It seems that what makes people noble is the position where she sits, not her as a person.
Without that position, she is just Du Bilian.
An ordinary person!
"Madam, my real name is Shang Zhuxiang. You must not forget this name. I am waiting for you in the underworld. Seeing you go to hell, I will repay your great kindness in this life. Hahaha, haha. Ha ha……"
