Chapter 15 - an award
Shen Jiajia told the Fu Yin about the content of the conversation with Qian Er, and then said, “I suspect that someone instigated Qian Er. The last sentence he said to me was too strange. The Fu Jun may wish to check again.”
This governor has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he also has his own calculations: this case has alarmed the court, and the sooner the case is closed, the better. Regardless of whether Qian Er was instigated or not, his murder is a fact, and the motive for the murder is very clear. The case can be closed here. If you continue to investigate with just one sentence, it will be good if you can find out the results. If you find nothing, isn’t that superfluous?
The governor said vaguely: “Well, I know it.”
“One more thing, I promised to help Qian Er’s mother get out of the Qian family. I wonder if Fu Jun can accommodate Yi or Er.”
“That’s easy to say.”
This kind of thing is someone else’s family affairs, Shen Jiajia is not easy to intervene, but the governor can, after all, he is a parental official.
The next day, the murder case of Yushi Qian was quickly pronounced: Qian Er murdered his father and killed his brother, a heinous crime, and was sentenced to death; the accomplice Lan Xiang stabbed a thousand miles; The next time he had to hold a funeral for his father, the punishment was waived; since the root cause of the case was the discord between the mistress of the Qian family and the concubine, the concubine Wu was sentenced to leave the Qian family, and the Ma and Qian Da jointly signed the document.
Shen Jiajia won the yamen’s award, twenty taels of silver, two heavy pieces. She went home with the money in her pocket, and her whole body was light and beautiful.
As soon as she got home, Shen Jiajia found that her mother had returned.
“Mother, why are you back?”
The second lady Zhu had a faint sad expression on her face, “Sanniang, come here, I have something to tell you.”
Shen Jiajia walked over obediently, sat beside her mother, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I saw your aunt today. She told me that she didn’t feel good when I heard that you were walking around and showing your face a lot recently.”
Shen Jiajia said strangely: “I’m not a lady, what’s wrong with showing my face.”
“You also know that your cousin will be in autumn next year, you…”
She didn’t continue talking, but Shen Jiajia heard it clearly, her face sank and said: “His family wants to marry a lady, and he will marry him, what does it have to do with me.” After speaking, she took out two pieces of silver and played with it. , “I even showed my face!”
Zhu Erniang said with a headache: “Who the **** are you following, you bastard.”
Xie Chengfeng understood Zhu Erniang quite well. This girl is good in everything, and she is quite reasonable, but sometimes when she talks about something she is unhappy with, she gets angry without warning, which makes people caught off guard.
Xie Chengfeng was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he felt that the girl was a little temperamental, and she was cute?
Zhu Erniang pointed at the silver and asked, “Where did you get so much money? You didn’t pick it up, did you?”
“What Fu-Jun gave me was to reward me for my merits in judging the case. Daddy’s promotion must have been noticed. Mom, don’t always think about those things. Let’s cook something delicious tonight. Our family will have a good time.” A piece of silver was stuffed to her mother, “Here, take the flowers.”
Zhu Erniang was teased by her with a smirk. Not only did she take the silver, she stretched out her hand and took another piece of silver from her. She smiled and said, “You are a child, what’s the use of taking so much money, I’ll keep it for you.”
In the evening, Zhu Erniang really cooked a lot of dishes and bought a jar of wine. Shen Jiajia drank two cups, and when she was about to pour a third cup, Zhu Erniang stopped her from drinking. Although he only drank two glasses, he was also dyed with a thin layer of drunkenness, his delicate face became a peach color, and his clear water eyes became a little blurred.
Xie Chengfeng didn’t dare to look at her like this, and couldn’t help but look at her inexplicably.
After dinner, Shen Jiajia added some water to Chengfeng.
Xie Chengfeng stood on the shelf, very close to her. He looked at her curled eyelashes and rosy lips, and suddenly said, “Are you engaged to your cousin?”
Shen Jiajia was surprised why Chengfeng suddenly asked this, she shook her head and said, “No, it’s just that both parents have this meaning.”
“You can’t marry him.”
Shen Jiajia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Why?”
“Because…the son’s name is not listed, and the mother is anxious to make rules. Such a family cannot marry.”
Shen Jiajia was noncommittal, just said: “You are a bird, you know more than people.”
“Anyway, you are not allowed to marry him.”
