Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Di Gong hurried back to the mansion and saw the famous post. It was really Wu Zongren's wife Zhou who asked to see him.I thought that it was not too early or too late, he and his wife came to see us and my wife at the same time, which shows that there is something strange about Baiyu's disappearance.Mrs. Wu must have a lot of things to hide from Wu Zongren.So he arranged for Mrs. Di to meet in the inner room, screened out a maidservant, and he himself hid behind the screen to eavesdrop. Mrs. Zhou was wearing a light blue cloud crepe jacket, crepe blue inlaid gauze trousers underneath, and a moonlight autumn belt. She swayed into the inner room, and when she saw Mrs. Di, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.The hair buns stacked as high as a hill trembled and shone with pearls.

Mrs. Di went up to help Mrs. Zhou, let her sit, and brewed a cup of Taihu Biluochun by herself.He said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu is just laughing. I have never done anything in the yamen, and I seldom meet guests. I want to see Mrs. Wu today, so it is inconvenient for the maid to hold the cup. This will make me look like sisters, and I don't know who I am. What does Mrs. Wu say?" You can talk about it as much as you want, so that the maids don't talk too much and spread it around." Mrs. Zhou nodded, thanked her again, swallowed her saliva, and said: "I shouldn't be abrupt and trouble my wife, but there is a big rock hanging in my heart, and I can't sit or sleep. My husband Wu Zongren arrived early this morning. Yali came to see Mr. Di and told me to kill his precious daughter Baiyu."

Mrs. Di was taken aback, and the tea splashed on the skirt of her skirt. Mrs. Zhou panicked, fearing that she would frighten Mrs. Di, she was not playing tricks, so she hurriedly said: "Madam, don't be surprised. Forgive me for being reckless by nature. I have no barriers to my words, and I can't turn my words around." Mrs. Di regained her composure, and asked politely: "What happened in the house, so panic-stricken. How did your Patriarch sue you to kill his daughter? I hope Madam will explain it carefully." "When my husband's wife died, he left behind a daughter named Baiyu, who was pampered and doted on in every possible way. As the girl grew older, she became more and more thoughtful. She sighed and sighed, dreamed of men, and had no respect for a good family. Later, when I saw that she was dealing with wild men in private, I told my husband. Who knew that my husband not only didn't believe it, but also thought that I was deliberately defaming her reputation, so he scolded me. Sure enough, the little hoof eloped with the wild man. It's just showing off his face! This Wu Zongren should know what kind of licensed daughter his daughter is, but he accused me of killing Baiyu, hiding her body and destroying the traces. Suddenly he said that I tied her up and sold her to the Goulan Institute. Randomly made up , Blood spouting, how can I bear this bad breath? I just came to the Yamen to file a complaint first, so I can't do this to me."

Mrs. Di forced herself to be calm, and then she thought about it: "Mrs. Wu only needs to report the name of that wild man, isn't the truth revealed? The government can also follow the trail to pursue him." Zhou raised her brows, sighed and said: "All the obscene women in the world are amazing ghosts; let you be very precise, spy in all kinds of ways, and never let out a single shadow, you can really bite the iron. Even if she catches her and eats her a few words, gossiping about it, ten or nine of them will be tricked and coaxed by her. What's more, my husband doesn't believe in my daughter's filth, but only thinks I slander her. In the end, when something really happened, I still blindly suspected that I had murdered her. ——Although I caught three-point traces, I didn't get the truth, how did I know the name of that wild man?"

"Then, where was Mrs. Wu the night Miss Baiyu ran away?" Zhou clapped her legs and said: "I was not at home that night, and I went to visit an old relative. Therefore, my husband insisted that I was the one who set the trap." "Your relatives can tell Mr. Wu about your whereabouts that night. There is nothing involved in this matter." Mrs. Zhou showed embarrassment: "To tell you the truth, my house servant Yang Maode sent me a message that night. When the time passed, I didn't see you, so I hurried home." "Isn't Yang Maode the right one to testify?"

"No, my husband has already fired him. It's not that he has committed any wrongdoing, but because he suspects that he has an affair with Baiyu. Baiyu once seduced him in every possible way, with provocative words and shamelessness. But this Yang Maode is really a tough man. He has a dignified character, sits calmly, and disdains Bai Yu's ugly appearance. Bai Yu has no choice but to turn to others." Mrs. Di groaned: "So that's how it is.—Since Mrs. Wu has no one to testify, this matter may be difficult in court." Zhou said: "I just ask my wife to speak up in front of Mr. Di and tell me all these grievances. No matter how dare my husband file a lawsuit indiscriminately and confuse the public, he will not be able to stand up to my wife's upright discussion."

"Mrs. Wu's words are wrong. There are ancestors' precepts in Di's house, and the inner chamber is not allowed to interfere with the government. Since the wife has many unspeakable heartfelt complaints, why don't you go to court and confront them face-to-face. I'm sorry that your patriarch is unable to win the case." Mrs. Zhou laughed and said, "Naturally. Your wife is the one who decides to rejuvenate the country with one word, so that I can have a place to defend and defend. I will ask my wife to protect me in the future." After finishing speaking, she stood up and said goodbye. .

Mrs. Di didn't keep her, and sent her to the entrance of the corridor of the flower hall.
