Chapter 101 Questioning

Since Su Qingyu gave birth, Su's mother has been staying with her at the Lu family. read

The mother and daughter seem to have never been so leisurely. They usually take the children and talk together. Mother Su either taught her how to raise children or talked about all kinds of gossip, which made Su Qingyu know a lot about her surroundings. It was no longer just her shop.

Two days later, Su's mother went back. After a period of confusion, Su Qingyu gradually adapted to the life of a new mother.

Hongxiu would usually help her, and Aunt Zhou would come over to help her when she wasn't busy, so that she wouldn't be so busy.

And Lu Shengcai would come over to see his eldest grandson every day when he came back from the shop, holding the child happily without letting go. The family has not heard the child's cry for more than ten years. Now that the child is howling, Lu Shengcai feels that the family is alive and adding a new child, but the Wu family, Lu Yuzhu and others feel that the noise is making them unable to sleep well at night.

But Lu Shengcai was very happy and said that he would have a good time in a hundred days.

Lu Bozu and Lu Yuzhu never came to see the child once, but Lu Bozong came every now and then. Maybe he thought such a big child was too strange, so he and Lu Shengcai rushed to hold it. Lu Shengcai corrected him a few times, but he was okay with it. Pretty presentable.

The day after Su's mother left, someone finally came from Guangning Mansion.

That afternoon, two retired soldiers entered the Lu family. Lu Shengcai was so shocked when he got the news that he trotted back all the way. When he saw that they were going to take Su Qingyu away for questioning, he looked surprised and confused.

"Sir, if you have anything to do, please tell me. I am the owner of this family. My daughter-in-law has just given birth a few days ago and is still in confinement..." Lu Shengcai bowed his head in front of the two officers, looking frightened.

The two officers came all the way from Guangning Mansion. Their clothes, head and face were all covered in ashes. They didn't even take a break. They were so angry that they waved Lu Shengcai away: "Stop talking nonsense. Master Tongjian wants to question someone. Do you still have any doubts? Not to mention confinement, even if you can’t move while lying on the bed, you have to be lifted!”

The two guards were so fierce that they frightened Lu Shengcai. He didn't even dare to raise his head.

When Su Qingyu heard the commotion, she got ready, dressed up, handed the child to Hongxiu, and wrapped her head and face with a shawl before leaving the room.

"Sir, I am Su Qingyu, and I will follow you right away."

The two officers looked at her for a while and were satisfied with her cooperation. Seeing that she really looked like she was out of energy after giving birth to a baby, she calmed down a little.

He nodded at her and said: "My lord only said that I would call you for questioning. You just need to cooperate. Don't push back and make it difficult for us."

"Yes. The little woman doesn't dare. Then let's leave now."

"Hey, from the Bo Cheng family, what are you..."

"Dad, it's okay. The master just invited me to come over and ask a question."

Lu Shengcai looked back and forth at the two officers and Su Qingnao, rubbing his hands constantly. When he saw Su Qingnao raising her legs and following the two officers out, he hurriedly followed them: "Then dad will go with you.

Wu, who was hiding in the dark, rushed out, grabbed him, and whispered: "Why are you following me? You don't want to die!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't committed any crime, so there's nothing to worry about. I'll go back with my daughter-in-law. In case she's young and careless, it's better to have me here."

"You're not allowed to go!"

"Don't be ridiculous."

The couple kept pulling and pulling, and the sound was so loud that the two guards turned around to look. Wu was immediately frightened and lowered her head in fear.

Lu Shengcai took the opportunity to break away from her and followed her at a trot.

Wu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, feeling extremely scared. I wonder if Su has committed something and is being taken away by the guards. Will she get into some trouble? What should I do if my family is implicated? Could it be that the food in her store is so delicious?

Oh my god! This is how to do?

Su Qingyu and Lu Shengcai followed the two officers to a courtyard. I saw two soldiers standing straight at the gate, one on the left and one on the right, with one hand on their waists and the other holding the saber on their waists. When they saw a group of people approaching, they only glanced at them lightly and continued to look expressionless. Standing at the door.

The cold and stern look was so frightening that no one dared to pass by the door.

Lu Shengcai only took one look and his legs became weak. He, a small businessman who kept his integrity, had never seen such a scene before. He couldn't help but tremble at the thought of having to see Lord Tongpan later.

"Dad, it's okay. I was just asked to ask a question." Su Qingyu glanced at him and comforted him.

"But, dad is still afraid..."

The two guards walking in front of him turned back to look at him, secretly disdainful that this big man was not as calm as a little woman.

"Dad, how about you wait for me at the door."

"Well, that won't work. It's better for dad to go in with you."

Seeing his insistence, Su Qingnao couldn't say any more. Following the two police officers, they passed through a hand-chaosi corridor and arrived at the third courtyard.

There were obviously more people entering the courtyard this time than the previous two. People who were coming and going trotted in to answer questions. There were also people in the courtyard leading other people to wait there to wait for the adults to summon them.

Su Qingyu stood in the yard for a long time, feeling dizzy and weak in her legs, before she waited for news of the summons from the adults in the flower hall.

"I've seen Lord Tongpan." "I've seen, I've seen, Lord Tongpan..."

Sitting in the first seat was a slightly fat official in his forties or fifties with a beautiful beard, wearing official uniform and boots, with a stern look on his face. Next to him stood a middle-aged man who looked like a master. There were two clerks on the left and right of the hall taking notes. Su Qingyu only glanced at it before lowering her head and staring at the ground.

"Are you Su Qingyu? Who is this next to you?"

"To answer your question, I am Su Qing'an, and the person next to me is my father-in-law. My husband left home last June because of military service. I just gave birth to a child and am now in confinement. My father-in-law is worried, so he accompanied me to see you."

"Yes, yes, I, I..."

"I didn't ask you a question!"

The adult was impatient to listen to Lu Shengcai and interrupted him with a wave of his hand. Lu Shengcai's legs and feet were shaking.

The man turned to Su Qing'an: "Su, I ask you questions, you must answer truthfully. Otherwise, I will make you eat a stick!"

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know."

"Very good. Then I want to ask you, is the owner of the Yangwei Martial Arts School in the town your husband's master? Are you on good terms with his family?"

"Yes. A few years ago, the owner saw that my husband had a talent for martial arts, so he recruited my husband to learn martial arts in the martial arts school. After my husband left, I thought that Master Ma had taught my husband for a few years, so that my husband would have some self-defense skills on the battlefield. So I usually cook some food and take it to the school to help fulfill my filial piety. Master Ma's wife is weak and sickly, and she doesn't go out often. She likes to listen to me talk about people outside, so I often chat with her..."

After listening, the magistrate stroked his beard with a serious expression.

After a while, he asked again: "Do you know the origins of him and his wife?"
