After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 23 Why are you all so good at scolding!
Mrs. Lu was still muttering, "Song Lan is an evil ghost", "There is a ghost", "The ghost is here to claim my life", "Evil spirits, all of them are evil spirits", and she seemed crazy.

The nanny stopped the official who was about to lock her up and take her away: "How dare you! My wife is the mistress of the Xie family, Madam Tongzhilang, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

The yamen official sneered: "Who cares if you are a scumbag or a dung beetle? You will behave yourself after spending two days in the Jingzhao prison."

After saying that, he took the man down.

Following the exclamation just now, everyone's eyes turned to the direction, and the clerk unconsciously relaxed a little.

"Sir! There are words underneath this body!"

The men in charge of carrying the corpse turned Doctor Yang's body over and were about to carry it away when they noticed something messily drawn on the ground.

When I looked closer, I saw it was the word "占".

Jiao Bubai and others also came over at this time and took in the word clearly.

"What does this 'occupy' mean?" the deputy asked in confusion.

Song Lan lowered his head slightly and blew lightly.

Wisps of resentment, mixed with her voice, floated into Lu's ears.

"not me!"

Lu suddenly spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Su Hezhi glanced at Lu and sneered: "In my opinion, this may not be a fortune-telling character. Maybe it is the character Lu! It's just that the deceased died suddenly and didn't have time to write it completely!"

For a moment, everyone looked at Lu with something wrong in their eyes.

But Mrs. Lu was still arguing with someone, loudly denying: "It's not me! It's not me! It's not me!"

Song Lan was somewhat surprised that Su Hezhi would suddenly stand up and direct the suspicion towards the Lu family.

Originally, she thought that she would whisper in Lu's ear with resentment, saying that it was Lu who killed Xie Shangqi.

This caused Lu to panic and retort, arguing with her voice.

Others couldn't hear the sound of her resentment, so they naturally suspected that Lu was guilty and confessed.

She would then send someone to give some guidance, and there would be no need to worry about the people from Jingzhao Prefecture not investigating.

However, no one expected that the first person to draw suspicion to Lu would be Su Hezhi.

Song Lan recalled carefully.

It turned out that she didn't have much impression of Su Hezhi. She only knew that there was a family with the surname Su living next door to the Xie family.

It is said that this family lost a daughter some years ago.

I don’t know whether the Su family in the previous life was the Su family ruled by Su Hezhi.

She had never met this family before, and the Xie family did not allow her to interact with their neighbors.

In her previous life, after she married into the Zhang family, maids claiming to be from the Su family would occasionally come to the house and bring some nectar that was said to be made by the old lady of their family herself, in several flavors including osmanthus, rose, and jasmine.

It smells very sweet.

But her husbands when she was in the Zhang family never allowed her to eat it.

They said that she was born to suffer, to be controlled and trampled upon by them, that her life was worthless and she should be willing to sacrifice herself.

When Song Lan thought of this, his resentment grew stronger.

Yan Jun saw that the resentment blocking his way became even stronger, and he became more anxious.

Song Lan, what's wrong with you?
But the more anxious you are, the harder it is to get out of the fog of resentment.
-
"It seems that Madam Xie's madness has been cured. She is conscious and speaks clearly. There is no trace of the madness just now."

Su Hezhi showed a sneer on his face: "It can be seen that the Xie family is a blessed place. Diseases always come and go as they please. There is no need for treatment at all."

"I don't know which deity or Buddha the Xie family worships. It's so effective and always makes their wishes come true."

He went around in circles, mocking Lu for pretending to be sick, saying that she was just acting crazy and stupid on purpose to divert attention.

Now that I'm being suspected, I've completely stopped pretending.

Gradually, everyone began to appreciate the taste.

"You say, could it be that Lu ordered someone to kill the eldest son of the Xie family?"

"I remember my wife once told me that this doctor who was good at treating children's fright was invited back from far away after three visits to her cottage with a large sum of money. My wife and the people around her complimented her on her kindness and how much she cared about her husband's niece. I'm afraid she would be no worse than her own daughter."

"So, this quack doctor is from the Lu family!"

The neighbors exchanged information with each other, and after summarizing it, they became even more suspicious of the Lu family.

"It's not me! It's not me!"

Lu covered her ears and yelled, "Song Lan, get out! Get out! Get away from here!"

Stop whispering in her ear.

She did not order anyone to kill Xie Shangqi!

How could she possibly order someone to kill Xie Shangqi? Wouldn't that be just handing over all of Xie's property to the second and third sons for nothing?
Yup!

Second and third child!

It must have been the second and third brothers who did it!
No, no, no, it can’t be the second or third brother.

Xie Shangqi is the only official in the Xie family now. Although he is a useless official, he is the only one who can improve the status of the Xie family.

If Xie Shangqi died, the Xie family would no longer be an official family.

The second and third sons are not that stupid.

So, it's still Song Lan! It can only be Song Lan!
It was Song Lan who spoke in her ear just now!

It was Song Lan's doing!

Song Lan is not a human being!
Evil ghost!

Song Lan, you evil ghost!
Ah!
Lu screamed again without warning, as if she was crazy.

Everyone looked at each other.

Is this...crazy again?

"Sir, what do you think of this?" The deputy looked at Jiao Bubai and asked him to make a decision.

Jiao Bubai hadn't made up his mind yet.

Su Hezhi, who was standing next to him, sneered, "When I look at Madam Xie now, I am reminded of bamboo shoots in the mountains, which have sharp mouths, thick skins, and hollow bellies."

"I vaguely remember that Madam Xie's family was also known as a farming and reading family. I didn't expect that the daughter she raised didn't even know the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. It shows that there is a lot of water in it."

What this means is that the Lu family is a liar and they don’t even know how to change their tactics when deceiving people.

"I don't know if she was like this when she was at her parents' home, or if she became more corrupted after she got married."

A few words, three birds with one stone.

He not only scolded Lu, but also mentioned Lu's family, and mocked the Xie family.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

But Mrs. Lu was still crying and shouting things like "It's Song Lan" and "Song Lan is an evil ghost", as if she was determined to pretend to the end.

Even more funny.

"Sir, what do you think?" the deputy asked Jiao Bubai again.

"Caught!"

Jiao Bubai said coldly: "I will also be a doctor and distinguish between real and fake madness."

"Maybe in the future, we can add another business to our Jingzhao Prefecture Prison, earn some extra money, and subsidize our brothers' drinking."

After saying that, he frowned and looked at his deputy who was about to arrest someone: "Do you find it strange?"

"what?"

What's strange?
"There's such a big commotion in front of the Xie family's door, how come no one from the Xie family came out to see?"

Jiao Bubai raised his chin and pointed at Xie Shangqi: "If I remember correctly, the Xie family seems to have only this one official."

"The glory of the entire family is entrusted to the eldest son of the Xie family."

"Now that the pillar of the family is dead, the Xie family has no reaction at all. Is that reasonable?"

The deputy shook his head: "It doesn't make sense."

"Why don't you go and introduce yourself?" Jiao Bubai glared at his deputy.

Then, his eyes fell on the shadow of the Xie family's gate, where a man was standing upright, lifeless, like a puppet.

Was there anyone standing there just now?

Jiao Bubai asked the deputy next to him.

The deputy took a look and shook his head: "I don't have any impression."

Jiao Bubai let out a sigh.

"This Xie family, there are really many strange things."

Song Lan, who heard the two people talking, raised his hand and touched his nose.

The resentment that originally shrouded the Xie family disappeared in an instant.

After waiting for a long time for Mrs. Lu to come back, the Xie family hurried outside, intending to find out for themselves what was going on. However, after standing still for half an hour without realizing it, they suddenly felt like they were stepping on empty air and stumbled forward.

Ok?
The second son of the Xie family asked curiously, "Third son, do you feel that the road we have to take to leave the house today seems particularly far?"

The third brother pursed his lips and said nothing.

He naturally felt it, and even felt that he had been standing still.

It’s like - encountering a ghost wall!
"Second brother, do you think we have gone too far these years? Yuanyi only has this one child, and we..."

Xie Laosan felt inexplicably panicked, always feeling that what he had done over the years was somewhat unconscionable.

"shut up!"

Xie Lao Er suddenly became furious: "Don't mention what you shouldn't mention, don't say what you shouldn't say, do you also want to end up like that woman?"

What else did Xie Laosan have to say?

Xie Lao Er patted his shoulder and said, "Lao San, I know you are kind-hearted, but kindness also depends on the time, right?"

"If she doesn't die, we will be the ones to die."

"If her daughter doesn't suffer this, then it will be your and my daughter, or even our son, who will suffer."

He sighed in a fake manner: "If you want to blame someone, blame her for not being gentle enough. She offended someone she shouldn't have offended and touched something she shouldn't have touched."

Upon hearing this, Xie Laosan stopped talking.

Mrs. Xie, who was walking in front and seemed not to have heard the two brothers' argument, suddenly spoke in a dark and somewhat sinister tone:
