Rebirth of marriage

The appearance of Xie Jiu and the others kept Su Mengjiao awake all night.

Before dawn, she got dressed and knelt in front of the Buddha statue.

Amidst the sound of wooden fish, Xie Jiu and Feng Zhilan carried a cloth bag into the courtyard of the Buddhist hall. Su Mengjiao ran out when she heard the noise.

Seeing the two of them, they were a little timid and didn't dare to step forward.

Feng Zhilan didn't give her any time to think, and directly released Xiaoli, "You answer it yourself."

Xiaoli was tortured and was told by Feng Zhilan before she came. When she saw Su Mengjiao, she didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she cried and told everything she knew.

She begged for mercy, "Miss, I was wrong. Please forgive me. My wife wants to marry me to a farmer. I don't want to. My family is a farmer. Every year when taxes are paid, the family will go hungry."

My parents couldn't support me, so they sold me. I finally entered the Su Mansion and became a maid beside Madam. How could I be willing to be married back to a farm family? Then I did something stupid. Miss, I was wrong. Please spare me..."

Su Mengjiao was so shocked that she stepped back. She couldn't believe what she heard. She staggered and almost fell down, but was supported by Xie Jiu in time.

She was stunned for a long time, then walked back to Xiaoli with tears streaming down her face, and squatted down slowly, "My father was born in Gengdu, and my mother really likes you, so she took the trouble to find you a scholar from a Gengdu family. Her family has fertile land. How can you become a farmer if you cultivate a few acres and study at the same time?

If you don't want to, have you ever told your mother?You said your mother would not force you. She had good intentions for you, but she didn't expect that she would be betrayed by you..."

She paused and stared at Xiaoli, "You really deserve to die."

"No, the master told me that although that person comes from a family of farming and reading, he has bad conduct and no talent for reading, so he has no future."

Xiaoli argued that the master he was talking about was the current county magistrate Xiaosu and Su Mengjiao's cousin.

Su Mengjiao suddenly laughed, her smile full of ferocity, "You trust your cousin, but you don't trust your mother who has plans for you. I'm afraid you two have colluded a long time ago. What else will he tell you?"

She knew that her mother had chosen a husband for Xiaoli. He was a distant relative of her mother's family, but he was not a useless person as Xiaoli said.

Xiaoli shook her head, saying everything she knew.

Su Mengjiao looked at Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu then informed Su Mengjiao about the collusion between Magistrate Xiao Su and the prefect.

Su Mengjiao was calmer than she thought, but her voice was trembling, "Father once said that my cousin is an ambitious person and will definitely be more promising than him in the future.

My father attaches great importance to the family. He has always hoped that the Su family can shine. Therefore, he helps the people in the family and is even more considerate to his cousin who studies hard. He tries his best to keep him by his side because he wants to take care of him personally. Take him with you to help him go further in the future and make the Su family more glorious. "

But my father never expected that he not only had ambitions, but also had a vicious heart.

How could he be so cruel?

Su Mengjiao clutched her chest and closed her eyes in pain. After a long time, she looked at Xie Jiu, "Does he know?"

She asked about the King of Hell, she thanked him for the wine and nodded.

"Do you really want his life?" Su Mengjiao's withered and yellow face was twisted in pain, and Xie Jiu nodded again.

Su Mengjiao sighed heavily, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Then please help me some more, girl."

"Okay." Xie Jiu agreed without hesitation.

"The King of Hell." Su Mengjiao suddenly shouted out the door, and soon, the subordinates of the King of Hell appeared in the courtyard.

Su Mengjiao pointed to the little pear on the ground and said to him, "This person... let her experience all the punishments in your mountain. There is no need to keep the whole body."

Her voice was very calm, so calm that no waves could be heard.

But Xiaoli was so frightened that she started to cry. Even Feng Zhilan shuddered inexplicably, and she subconsciously stood in front of Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu reached out and held her arm, telling her not to worry.

Some people are attracted to each other because they have completely opposite personalities, while some people are able to see a thousand things because they have the same attributes in their bones. How can a woman who can be attracted by the King of Hell who eats human flesh and drinks human blood be a true good wife? Good people.

If she was kind to her enemies, Xie Jiu would look down on her.

Xiaoli was quickly taken away. Su Mengjiao looked at Xie Jiu and said, "Can you please wait for me to change my clothes?"

"Xie Jiu, doesn't she want that maid to be a witness?" Feng Zhilan asked Xie Jiu in a low voice after the others entered the room.

Xie Jiu whispered, "She won't make this public."

From the moment Su Mengjiao said that his father valued the family, Xie Jiu knew that she would not disclose Magistrate Xiao Su's crimes to the public.

Publicly, his murder of a county magistrate was a capital crime; privately, he murdered his biological uncle who treated him well for his own selfish interests, which was not tolerated by the world.

His behavior will affect the entire Su family. It will be difficult for scholars in the Su family to have a future. Su Mengjiao does not want to destroy the Su family that his father has worked hard to build.

Moreover, the county magistrate Xiao Su colluded with the prefect, and they had connections in the capital. She was just an orphan now, and even if she brought the case to the imperial city, she might not be able to avenge her father.

But it is not yet known how she will deal with Magistrate Xiaosu.

The two waited in the hospital for a long time.

When Su Mengjiao came out of the house again, she was no longer wearing a nun's robe. Instead, she was dressed in an ordinary woman's dress. The dress was made of unusual materials. It seemed that it had been aged, and her black hair, which was originally covered by a nun's hat, was simply pulled into a woman's bun, with a hairpin on it. Wearing a green hairpin.

Xie Jiu's eyes lingered on her bun for a moment, thoughtfully.

Su Mengjiao handed a letter to Xie Jiu, "Can you please help me send this letter to the head of the Su family?"

"Okay." Xie Jiu handed the letter to Feng Zhilan, who took it and jumped out of the yard.

When they inquired about Su Mengjiao before, they had learned a lot about the Su family's situation. Now that Li Sheng and the others were nearby, the letter would be delivered soon.

"Girl, if you don't mind, I'll give you this string of Buddhist beads." Su Mengjiao put the beads that she had carried on her wrist for many years back onto Xie Jiu's wrist.

The beads were very cold, and Su Mengjiao's hands were even colder to the bone. She was not wearing a windbreaker, and her dress was not that thick.

Xie Jiu smiled, "Thank you."

Then he put the heater in Su Mengjiao's hand and said, "Warm it up."

The heater was given to Feng Zhilan by the secret guards when they went out in the morning. They must have been so careful after Gu Xiao's instructions.

Gu Xiao warmed her up.

She wanted to give a little bit of her warmth to Su Mengjiao.

Su Mengjiao lowered her eyes and rubbed the heater in her hand. She did not refuse. She thanked him and led her out. After Xie Jiu left the courtyard, she stepped on her feet and slowly closed the courtyard door and buckled the door knocker carefully.

Feng Zhilan, who delivered the letter, quickly returned to Xie Jiu, and the three of them arrived at the Su family's ancestral home.

No one had lived in the Su family's ancestral house for many years, and there was a musty smell. Su Mengjiao opened the door and paused outside to wait for the smell to dissipate.

"Young lady, you should have guessed the reason why I invited you here, right?" Su Mengjiao suddenly said, "The patriarch is thinking about the interests of the clan, so he may side with his cousin.

So I threatened in the letter that if he dared to inform his cousin privately, someone would publish the evidence of his crime, and he would definitely come to see if what I said was true. With the girl here, they would not think that I was alone. . "

Xie Jiu nodded, "In that case, why are you still so considerate of them?"

"I'm not a good person, and I haven't practiced Buddhism seriously in the past few years, but I won't implicate innocent people in the clan, otherwise, my father will blame me."

A bitter smile appeared on her lips, "Father often said that the interests of the family are above all else. He always dreamed of seeing the Su family prosper. I have disobeyed him in many things in the past, but this time I will fulfill his wish. If you want revenge, it’s the person who killed him who deserves to die.”

Xie Jiu didn't answer her words anymore and remained silent. She asked an irrelevant question, "Did the King of Hell worry give you these clothes?"

Su Mengjiao was stunned for a moment, then her face changed slightly, and soon returned to normal.

But all this still did not escape Xie Jiu's eyes. She said in a cold voice, "What do you want to do?"
