After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Chapter 279 Death of Witness

Luo Xie: "You guys should do as I told you just now. If anything goes wrong, you should know how to deal with it. Here is 500 taels of silver. If you succeed, I will give you the rest of the silver. But as I told you before, you must succeed, and you can't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

When everyone heard what Butler Luo said, they understood that if things were not done well, there might be no need for them to stay in this world, but it didn't matter. Isn't it enough to take the money and run away? Do you really think we are stupid?

On the surface, everyone remained silent and seemed to agree very well.

When Butler Luo saw the backs of this group of people walking away, his face was expressionless, as if he was looking at someone who was about to die in this world.

Lihua paced back and forth in her room, feeling upset. She didn't know how Luo Xie handled the matter. She hadn't thought that Xiao Tao would betray her, and she didn't know how much the Second Madam knew. She hoped that Luo Xie would act faster and that the Master wouldn't know about these things, otherwise she would be finished.

My son is finished too.

Just when Lihua was lost in thought, County Magistrate Wu arrived.

Magistrate Wu: "Lihua, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought that you don't even notice I'm here."

Lihua panicked: "Master, I just miss you."

Magistrate Wu: "Miss me, miss me, why are you so panicked? I see you seem to be very afraid of me, but I am not a wolf, what are you afraid of?"

Lihua: "Master, this is all your fault. You haven't been to my yard for a long time. I heard that you found a little sister for us. She is young and beautiful. I am old and ugly, how can I compare with her."

Magistrate Wu coughed awkwardly, "This, this, this is not my original intention. Lord Li insisted on giving it to me, as you know. We are officials in the same court, and there are some things that are difficult to shirk. And if I shirk it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Lord Li?"

"Lihua, don't be angry. You see, I still have you in my heart. I'm here now, right? And look what I brought you. It's your favorite roast duck. Look, it's still hot. Eat some while it's hot."

Lihua saw that the topic had changed, but in this extraordinary period, she was too lazy to bother with this dead man about women's matters.

Lihua: "Master is still the best. Master has feelings for me. Master, I am also afraid that you will not like Lihua in the future. Lihua only has you now. In the future, our son will also have a wife, and he will have a small family again."

"Master, our son is already that old. Do you think we should buy him some property in the capital city? It will be easier for him to get married in the future. What do you think?"

Magistrate Wu thought for a moment and said, "Of course I can, but I don't have that much money. As you know, my salary is only enough to cover the expenses of the family. And a lot of money is in the hands of your eldest sister."

Lihua: "I know, this is something that the eldest sister should take care of, but you can talk to her. You can buy some shops or real estate first. Our son, even if it's written in his name, it's not yours. Besides, Master, you only have this one son, so we have to leave all our property to him in the future."

Magistrate Wu: "Okay, I will tell your elder sister about this later. Eat it quickly. Otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good."

When Magistrate Wu was about to leave, he turned back and continued, "I heard from the Second Madam about your cousin."

Lihua quickly said, what happened to my cousin.

Magistrate Wu looked at Lihua in surprise: "Why are you so nervous? The Second Madam just said that your cousin looks a lot like you, and that your nephew looks like his uncle."

"You know what, I'm really curious about how similar they look. People say that my son doesn't look like me, but I want to see what my uncle looks like. Second Madam would say such a thing. Lihua, if you have time, ask your cousin to come to the mansion. I have time to chat with him. Just think of it as a family gathering, there's nothing else to it. You always mention your cousin in front of me, so let me see him and satisfy my curiosity."

Lihua was even more nervous when she heard this. This damn woman insisted on bringing up this matter. Now, where can I find my cousin? My cousin is a person who cannot stand in public.

Lihua was also praying in her heart that Luo Xie could do things well, otherwise, it would be all over.

Lihua: "Don't worry, Master. My cousin will come if he has time. He is a businessman, traveling around to do business, and he doesn't necessarily have to be in the capital. If he is here, ask him to come, if not, we can just make an appointment for another time."

Magistrate Wu left without thinking too much and went straight to Lao Liu's yard, which made Lihua feel itchy. It was really like adding insult to injury.

On a narrow path, two bodies, a man and a woman, were seen lying under the hidden leaves. The man was in his thirties and the woman was in her forties.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find the two bodies at all, and you might think there are just a lot of fallen leaves there.

The Second Madam: "Xiaolu, why hasn't anyone come to inform us yet? Logically, they should have arrived in the city by now. Many days have passed, and there is still no news."

Xiaolu: "Madam, don't worry. Maybe he was delayed on the way. He may arrive later."

The second wife said anxiously, "I hope so. I don't know what happened today. I feel uneasy. My right eyelid keeps twitching, and I haven't slept well these days. I always feel like something is going to happen. But I can't put my finger on it. Besides, this is what I want to do recently. Please don't let anything unexpected happen, otherwise, my efforts will be in vain."

Xiaolu thought to herself, if the left eyelid twitches, it means good fortune, but if the right eyelid twitches, it means disaster. Madam, this is a sign of great disaster.

Xiaolu was also very panicked after hearing this, but she couldn't show it on the surface. Otherwise, according to Madam's personality, I wouldn't be able to get away with it, so it's better not to show it.

"Ma'am, don't worry. You are blessed by heaven, and everything will be fine. We just need to wait patiently. If it doesn't work, we can send someone to inquire about it. What do you think?"

The Second Madam thought what Xiaolu said made sense: "Okay, let's do as you say and send someone to take a look."
