After all, Qi was the daughter-in-law of the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion. How could she go to see the official
Mother Qi also hurriedly followed suit to persuade Madam Qi: "Take the young master into the house first. There are so many people here and who knows what nonsense they will say when the time comes."
This is the most headache-inducing thing. It is human nature to love excitement, especially when it is this kind of excitement. Who knows how it will spread.
Qi was reminded and called Xu Yuanbo. Seeing that her son did not move, she felt resentful and angry. She grabbed his hand and trembled with anger: "Come back with me! Haven't you made enough trouble yet?!"
Xu Yuanbo was held by Qi in a daze, but he did not resist. He followed Qi for a while and was surrounded by guards until he went up the stairs. Then he came to his senses and turned around to go back.
Qi was frightened by him, grabbed him and dragged him inside. After finally dragging him into the mansion, she slapped Xu Yuanbo hard without saying a word.
The servants who followed in all looked at him with their eyes and their noses, pretending that they did not see anything, and wished they were blind.
Xu Yuanbo finally came to his senses. Seeing his mother's appearance, he belatedly called out "Mom".
Qi's tears welled up all of a sudden. She glared at him with dismay, feeling dizzy. "What the hell is going on? How could someone die out of nowhere?!"
Xu Yuanbo hesitated, his face turned pale and he was about to collapse. He pursed his lips and refused to say a word.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Qi was so angry at her son that she felt like smoke was coming out of her head. Just when she didn't know what to do, the door creaked open again and Xu Chong came in hurriedly.
When she saw her husband, Qi suddenly felt like she had found her backbone and called him "Uncle" with tears in her eyes.
Xu Chong walked over quickly and hugged her, and asked her gently: "I heard everything. Are you okay?"
Qi shook her head, and the heavy stone in her heart finally moved a little. Now that someone who could make the decision had come, the pressure in her heart was relieved a lot.
Seeing his wife shaking her head, Xu Yuanbo turned around and kicked her hard.
He kicked with all his strength and hit Xu Yuanbo in the waist and abdomen very hard, sending Xu Yuanbo flying to the ground.
Xu Yuanbo was already injured, and Xu Chong's kick made him faint.
Wang'er was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a pale face.
Qi was also shocked and anxious and shouted: "Master!"
"Good-for-nothing!" Xu Chong was annoyed. It's not that he didn't love his son, but he didn't know what was wrong with his son recently. He kept making trouble. The previous incident with Sun Wencai was enough of a headache, and it wasn't long after that, but something like this happened again.
He looked at Xu Yuanbo coldly for a while, then pulled Qi to his side and said, "This unfilial son is nothing! The one who jumped down was a legitimate student! He has the title of a scholar! This bastard forced someone to death in the street, it really pissed me off!"
Anything can be easily solved as long as it is not exposed.
If the wish coin was used in private to kill one or two more people like this, it would be just a matter of saying something for the Xu family. However, this matter had to be made into such a big deal, with so many eyes watching outside.
This makes it difficult to hide.
By then, even if the Deng family accepts the settlement, the censors will still have trouble with them.
Qi was speechless for a moment, gritted his teeth and reluctantly said: "You can't beat him to death..."
"What a loser!" Xu Yuanbo said so, but he didn't do anything else. He turned around and asked Manager Xu: "Where is the person? Is he dead? Where is the doctor?"
Manager Xu replied hastily, "I've already gone to urge them. I guess they were delayed by the crowd outside. They'll be here soon."
As he was speaking, the long-servant who stayed outside came in and said, "Master, someone from the Wucheng Military Department and Shuntian Prefecture has come, saying... ...they want to ask our young master to go back to the government office for investigation."
When a murder occurs in a busy city, the government officials will arrive quickly.
Xu Chong frowned, and without waiting for Qi's response, he looked at Wang'er: "How did Deng Jidong die?"
Seeing Wang'er was stunned, Manager Xu coughed and hurriedly reminded him, "Did he have an argument with the young master about studying, and he accidentally hurt the young master, so he was scared for a moment... and fell from the height?"
Now we can only hold on to the fact that it was Deng Jidong who transferred the position himself.
Xu Chong coughed, and seeing that Manager Xu understood what he meant, he hummed, turned around, and called his long-time attendant to come over and give instructions: "Go find the people from the Deng family now, and no matter what method you use, make them say that Deng Jidong has long intended to commit suicide! As for their relationship, never mention it!"
The long-servant quickly agreed.
Xu Chong called him again and warned him coldly: "There is one more thing. Everything is in chaos right now. If someone is driven away by the officials and is in a hurry to leave, and accidentally gets squeezed by others, one or two lives may be lost..."
When Qi heard this, she quickly turned her head to look at Xu Chong.
After Xu Chong finished giving the order, he turned around and squeezed Qi's hand: "This old woman is always talking nonsense. Don't worry, this time we can just use this incident to put an end to her once and for all."
Qi was speechless. Her heart almost stopped because of Aunt Shen's fright. Every time Aunt Shen saw her, she stared at her and called her Miss Li. She didn't know when it would attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives. Her aunt and husband were right about such a person. Only if she died could the secret be kept forever.
She said nothing, but followed her husband and accompanied him in to see their son.
The injury to the Wishing Coin only looked serious, but it was actually just a flesh wound and not life-threatening. When the doctor arrived, he quickly stopped the bleeding.
Xu Chong looked at him angrily and couldn't help scolding him: "You are really out of your league! You brought someone into your own house and even caused a death! Don't you want to give up your future?!"
After being scolded like this, Xu Yuanbo was too depressed to say anything in rebuttal and just let Xu Chong scold him.
But before Xu Chong could scold him for long, Manager Xu came back and ran in like a bereaved mother. He didn't even bother to knock on the door and said anxiously, "Master, Madam, something bad has happened! Just now, Master Gao led his men to investigate a case and happened to pass by here... He was almost stabbed by one of our men..."
Xu Chong's expression changed drastically.
Qi also immediately widened his eyes.
"What's going on!?" Xu Chong reacted and immediately shouted: "How could this happen?!"
"This... the people below instigated others and wanted to take advantage of the chaos. Who knew that Mr. Gao and that old woman were together? When the chaos happened, I don't know what happened..." Manager Xu also said bitterly: "I don't know how Mr. Gao was almost injured. Mr. Gao has already arrested our people!"
