Xu Wanning entered the county government office on a sedan carried by four government officials. Although the onlookers passing by pointed and pointed, they all said nice things.
"Is this the guest invited by Mr. Wang? Who is he?"
"Have you not seen that maid? She is the personal maid of the Young Madam of the Marquis of Chengyang."
"The young lady is a distinguished guest, tsk tsk."
Qing Xing raised his head a lot.
Xu Wanning was sitting in a stable sedan chair, listening to what was happening outside.
Jixiang's parents sued her for killing Jixiang, so she should be considered a murder suspect, right?
The government asked her to ask questions and carried her there in a sedan chair, which was probably the first time in Yancheng. Which suspect could be treated like this?
Xu Wanning knew that Wang Xingmin gave her this treatment not because she was the young lady of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. After all, last time, Du was arrested as a suspect, but she was escorted by the government servants. How humiliating she was. Anyway, everyone in Yancheng knew about it.
The only explanation is that Wang Xingmin knew Pei Heng's identity.
Pei Heng must have told Wang Xingmin to take care of her.
As for whether the guess is accurate...
The voice of the head of the government office came from outside: "Young madam, the county government has arrived. Mr. Wang is waiting for you in front. Please get off the sedan chair."
Xu Wanning straightened her clothes and temples, and got off the sedan with Qing Xing's help.
Now that we have arrived at the county government office, there is no need to guess, just ask directly.
Wang Xingmin was waiting for Xu Wanning at the door.
"Mrs. Xu." Wang Xingmin spoke proactively.
What he called was Madam Xu, not Young Madam.
Xu Wanning was blessed: "Master Wang."
"Please." Wang Xingmin waved his hand and led the way, leading Xu Wanning into the county government office.
Xu Wanning followed Wang Xingmin without asking any questions.
Passing by the lobby and crossing the cloister, Wang Xingmin took Xu Wanning to a secluded courtyard.
"Mrs. Xu, you stay here for now. For the rest of the matter, your subordinates will find out the truth and restore your innocence." Wang Xingmin said, "There is a maid for you. If you have any instructions, just ask her. Go do it.”
Xu Wanning: "How long will I stay here?"
Wang Xingmin thought for a while: "Soon, three days at most."
"Then could you please Mr. Wang send someone to the house to tell my maids, so that they don't worry about my safety?"
"This is natural, Mrs. Xu, please rest assured."
Wang Xingmin left, Xu Wanning entered the courtyard, and a capable maid came up to say hello: "Mrs. Xu, the servants in your room have been sorted out. Do you need to fill in anything?"
"Thank you. I will tell you if I need anything."
"Then this servant will prepare lunch for Mrs. Xu. Does Mrs. Xu have any taboos?"
Qingxing stepped forward, said a few words, then returned to Xu Wanning's side, and asked in confusion: "Miss, I can't figure it out, didn't you say that Jixiang's parents sued you for killing Jixiang? Why did they still treat you as a guest? ?”
He didn't look like a suspect at all.
Xu Wanning smiled, "What did Mr. Wang call me?"
Qingxing tilted her head and thought for a while: "Mrs. Xu." Not the young lady.
"Do you remember who called me that?"
Qingxing's eyes widened: "Is it Mr. Pei?"
Xu Wanning nodded: "He is the Commander-in-Chief of Jin Linwei and the emperor's closest celebrity. Do you think Wang Xingmin will miss such a big tree?"
"It turns out it's all about Mr. Pei's face." Qing Xing muttered: "Let me tell you, our Marquis Mansion doesn't have such a big reputation!"
Even the Du family was completely disgraced by the government.
Xu Wanning smiled: "Don't think about it. Just make peace with it as it comes. It will be quick in three days."
Three days is really fast.
Cui Qingping has reached the final step of treating his face.
After removing the gauze and washing away the medicine residue, a face that was exactly the same as the other half of his face and even whiter was revealed in front of everyone.
Seeing the intact face without any blemishes, Mrs. Du was so happy that she cried with joy, "My brother Ping, it's better, it's better, it's finally better."
Cui Qingping also saw that his face was clean, white and tender, and he was also very happy: "Grandma, my face is healed, my face is really healed."
"Yes, that's it. From now on, you will be the only heir to the Hou Mansion, who dares to say that you are not good enough!" Du felt proud.
Cui Lu can't give birth, and Cui Yunfeng can't give birth either. The only hope for the future of the Hou Mansion is Cui Qingping.
Xu Jia paused for a moment while packing the medicine box, and suddenly said to Mrs. Du: "Madam, there is going to be a happy event in the house soon."
"What kind of happy event is it? No matter how big the happy event is, it can't be as good as my grandson's face." Mrs. Du hugged Cui Qingping, kissed and laughed, feeling extremely proud.
"Mrs. Side is pregnant, and the Marquis's family is about to have a baby."
The smile on Du Shi's face froze, and her nearly forty-year-old face with wrinkles froze, "What did you say?"
"When I checked Mrs. Side's pulse, I found that she was pregnant." Xu Jia said, "I concealed the news of Mrs. Side's pregnancy. Please don't blame me."
"Why did I blame you? Didn't you tell me now? Does Chen Mianmian know?"
"She doesn't know."
"How long?"
"It's been more than a month."
Du Shi gritted his teeth: "So it was there before that?"
"Counting the days, it should be yes." Xu Jia said.
The time when Du took the Juezi medicine from him was about the same, not more than a few days.
"I'm still too soft-hearted. If I had done it earlier, I wouldn't have..." Mrs. Du regretted it. If she had known it earlier, she should have prevented Cui Lu from having a baby. Now that the child has been born, she is not here to compete with Brother Ping for the family property. Well.
Xu Jia said: "The child is still in the womb, and we still don't know whether it is a boy or a girl."
"Women can't do it either." Mrs. Du said with a ferocious face, "What if her daughter marries well and is better than my brother Ping?"
Then wouldn't she be crushed by Chen Mianmian!
Xu Jia stopped talking.
"No, no, we can't keep this child, we can't keep it." Mrs. Du walked around the room, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "If the Marquis knew that Chen Mianmian was pregnant, he would have no chance to take action. .How to do how to do?"
Xu Jia's eyes fell on the empty Duobao Pavilion behind Mrs. Du: "I remember, madam, there used to be many expensive ornaments here? They should be priceless, right?"
These words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the haze in Du Shi's heart.
How much did Chen Mianmian sell for the priceless ornament?
Twenty thousand taels?
Are all her ornaments worth twenty thousand taels?
Du Shi thought about it and said, "Here, go and call the young master."
Xu Jia has already packed the medicine box, "Madam, I have cured the young master's face. I am going to say goodbye."
Du Shi looked at Xu Jia, want to leave?
"Are you about to leave? The Marquis and I haven't thanked Dr. Jia properly yet. Dr. Jia can stay here for a few more days. When the money is settled, the Marquis and I have thanked Dr. Jia. It's not too late for you to leave, okay? ?”
Xu Jia cupped his hands and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Mom, look for me." Cui Yunfeng came over.
Xu Jia held his hand, but Cui Yunfeng pretended not to notice and passed him by.
"Son, something big happened."
The door of the house was closed, and the conversation between mother and son could not be heard.
Xu Jia flicked his hand on the medicine box, raised an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned around to leave.
