The daughter-in-law of the first assistant is a super prosperous husband, and the whole family is vy

Chapter 170

One woman said disdainfully: "What's wrong with this? Scholar Cao is either studying in the academy or taking exams outside all year round. The woman at home is lonely and unbearable, so she hooks up with other men."

Someone echoed: "It seems that Scholar Cao's wife deserves what she deserves."

"Indeed." The other person also nodded, but she was more curious about what was going on with the fire? Was it an accident or was the Cao family released in retaliation after finding out?
With this thought in mind, she also asked.

"It was neither an accident nor Cao's family who released it. It is said that it was the man Cao Shusheng's wife hooked up with."

"Ah?" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why would he do this?"

"It is said that because Cao Shusheng stayed in Beijing, he also wrote a letter to his family, saying that he would take his family to Beijing to enjoy the blessings. Naturally, Cao Shusheng's wife would also go to the capital with Cao's family. The man couldn't stand Cao Shusheng's wife abandoning him like this. To get rid of him, he just went to see Cao Shusheng's wife for a private meeting, drugged the food he brought, burned down the house, and died together with Cao Shusheng's wife. "

"This is really..."

The person listening shook his head and said, "Scholar Cao is also pitiful. He has been cuckolded by his wife for so long."

"Yes, Scholar Cao is so pitiful, and her wife is also someone who doesn't hesitate to be blessed. If I could marry a scholar, I would provide for him every day, and she would steal people behind his back."

The person who heard this glanced at the woman who was speaking and teased her: "You don't even know what you look like? What scholar can take a fancy to you?"

"What do I look like? I'm not as tall as I am. I think when I was young I was just a flower in every village in the world."

"What kind of flower are you? Morning flower?"

The group was noisy and soon the matter was forgotten.

After all, it was just someone else's business, so they just listened to it to satisfy their curiosity and sighed, but they didn't take it to heart.

The next day, Zhang and his family set off for the capital.

As for Ye Ximing's letter telling them to walk slower on the road, they had just been sent out of the capital.

However, even if they did not receive this letter from Ye Ximing, everyone in the Ye family avoided the hottest time at noon when they were on their way. After all, they still had children with them, especially the two little ones, who are only a few months old now. Don't dare let them get too hot.

When the Ye family left for the capital, the people Gao Rongyue sent to Nanxing County to investigate Zhou Ran had also rushed to the capital.

He was alone and riding a fast horse, and soon arrived in the capital.

But when he reported what he found to Gao Rongyue, Gao Rongyue was very dissatisfied.

Looking at the boy kneeling in front of her, Gao Rongyue asked coldly: "You mean there is no one in her natal family at all, and she doesn't have a good relationship with her natal family?"

Gao Rongyue was originally planning to target Zhou Ran's relatives and use them to threaten Zhou Ran, but now the servant told her that Zhou Ran's mother-in-law's family had quietly left Nanxing County a few years ago and her whereabouts were unknown. .

Moreover, Zhou Ran had severed ties with her mother's family. Even if she sent people to find Zhou Ran's relatives, Zhou Ran might not be willing to divorce Ye Ximing for the sake of her relatives.

In this case, wouldn't her waiting have been in vain?

Thinking of this, Gao Rongyue felt unhappy when she looked at the young man in front of her, waving her hand and saying: "Okay, you useless things, get out of here." The young man ran hard, not to mention it was a reward. However, he was just a servant, so naturally he did not dare to contradict Gao Rongyue, the eldest lady, so he could only bow and retreat.

After the boy left, Gao Rongyue frowned and thought hard for a long time, thinking that since she couldn't coerce, she could just use inducements.

Immediately, she told her maid: "Go and make an appointment with Zhou Ran to Baiwei Tower later. I want to have a good talk with her."

"Okay, miss, I'll go right away."

The maid responded respectfully, then left the house to find Zhou Ran's residence.

After Gao Rongyue's maid knocked on the door, it was the maid Su Qingqing brought who came to open the door for her.

Su Qingqing has been learning embroidery from Zhou Ran during this period. At first, Mrs. Anyuanhou was not at ease and asked Han Yan to follow her. Later, she saw that Su Qingqing was happy every day and did not encounter anything, so she simply did not Han Yan was asked to follow, and Su Qingqing was asked to bring her maid to Zhou Ran's place.

After coming for a long time, Su Qingqing's maid got used to it. There was a knock on the door just now and everyone was busy, so she took the initiative to open the door for the guests.

After taking a look at Gao Rongyue's maid at the door, she didn't see anyone announcing her name. She could only ask: "Whose house are you from? Who are you looking for?"

Gao Rongyue's maid squeezed out a smile and said: "I am the maid next to the second lady of Shangshu Mansion. Our lady wants to meet Mrs. Ye in return for Mrs. Ye's favor."

"You wait."

Zhou Ran couldn't help but frown when she heard Su Qingqing's maid come to report that it was the maid next to Gao Rongyue who came to find her. During this period, Gao Rongyue had not bothered Ye Ximing again. She thought she had given up. Why? Want to see yourself again now?
Su Qingqing glanced at Zhou Ran and asked abruptly: "Master, do you know Gao Rongyue?"

Zhou Ran shook her head, "It doesn't count as acquaintance."

Su Qingqing's small brows wrinkled in disgust, "Then why is she looking for you?"

Zhou Ran didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Rongyue's gourd. After thinking about it, she said, "You'll know after you go see it."

Su Qingqing nodded, "Master is right, I will accompany you to see her."

Gao Rongyue has a domineering temperament, and she has become even more arrogant since her sister became the queen. She is worried that her master will suffer a disadvantage. With her following her, if Gao Rongyue dares to be rude to her master, she can help him teach her a lesson.

It doesn't matter if she is the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Mansion, or if her sister is a queen, they, Anyuan Marquis Mansion, are not afraid of her.

Knowing that Su Qingqing had good intentions, Zhou Ran still refused. She did not want to involve Su Qingqing.

"It's hot, so just practice embroidery with the two senior sisters. I can just go see her by myself."

Seeing what Su Qingqing wanted to say, Zhou Ran rubbed her hair and said, "Don't worry, Master won't let you suffer."

"Okay, then I will listen to Master." Su Qingqing agreed, but still told Zhou Ran uneasily, "Master, if Gao Rongyue dares to bully you, come back and tell me, and I will help you get revenge."

Zhou Ran nodded dumbfounded and went out to meet Gao Rongyue's maid. After knowing that Gao Rongyue was waiting for her at Baiwei Building, she told Da Niu and the others and took Zhao Wu to Baiwei Building.

The door of the box on the second floor opened, and Zhou Ran saw Gao Rongyue sitting inside.
