After a while, Han Zhuang came in and explained the situation. “Madam asked you to stay at the Xie residence. It’s safer. She’ll come to pick you up before she goes back.”
“It’s good that she’s fine. That scared me.” Madam Qian patted her chest in fear.
Madam Liu protected the two children and nodded at him. “Then you go and find Ye Muyu first. We will wait here.”
In the county office.
The advisor quickly caught up with Magistrate Xu and whispered, “Old Master, just now the butler of the Xie residence came to look for me. He said that he was investigating the people in your residence. You see…”
“What does this have to do with the people in my residence?” County Magistrate Xu frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
“So you don’t care?” The advisor asked after seeing his expression.
“Let’s wait and see the situation of the interrogation of those two people. If it really has something to do with the residence…”
The advisor’s heart was on tenterhooks. There was only Magistrate Xu’s old wife, a young master, and a young lady in the county office. The rest were only two or three concubines sent by others.
No matter how one looked at it, they were people he was familiar with.
If County Magistrate’s men were linked to the kidnapping of the Xie family’s Third Young Master, the relationship between Old Master and the Xie family would be…
“There must be some misunderstanding.” County Magistrate Xu frowned.
“Master!” At this moment, a bailiff approached them and bowed to them.
County Magistrate Xu waved his hand and frowned. “Tell me the result of the interrogation. What’s the situation?”
“Replying to Milord, one of them confessed that he was under the orders of Concubine Chu.”
“What?” The advisor exclaimed and covered his mouth in the next second. As expected, he looked up and saw the magistrate’s expression was extremely ugly. He was worried about this just now, but he did not expect it to become a reality in the blink of an eye.
“Is this true?” County Magistrate Xu’s face turned gloomy.
“My Lord, that person has already confessed. He even took out Concubine Chu’s hairpin. ”
County Magistrate Xu was so angry that he punched the wall. The advisor quickly comforted him.
He reached out to take the hairpin, turned around, and strode into the inner courtyard.
“Sir, please wait for me…” The advisor quickly chased after him and instructed the bailiffs to continue interrogating him.
At this moment, he no longer expected to hide things from the Xie family. After all, in order to reassure the Xie family, County Magistrate Xu had allowed Butler Xie to go in and listen. In other words, the news might have already reached the ears of the Xie family’s Master and Madam.
Master Xie and Mrs. Xie had just arrived at the county office and were meeting Xie Yu.
County Magistrate Xu followed the advisor into the backyard.
He saw the servant girl beside Mrs. Xu rushing over.
“What happened?” County Magistrate Xu was already in a bad mood. Seeing the servant girl rushing in, he instantly shouted angrily.
The servant girl’s face turned pale. She hurriedly bowed and saluted. “Master, Madam has asked me to call a doctor. Something has happened to Concubine Chu.”
“Something happened to Concubine Chu?” The advisor exclaimed.
“What happened?” County Magistrate Xu frowned.
“Old Master, she was forced to drink medicine…
Hearing this, County Magistrate Xu flung his sleeves and strode towards Concubine Chu’s courtyard.
The advisor waved his hand and asked the servant girl to call a doctor. However, all kinds of guesses emerged in his heart. Was this suicide to avoid punishment or did someone sneak in?
No matter what it was, it would involve a lot of things.
The two of them quickly entered the courtyard where Concubine Chu was.
Concubine Chu had been rescued and was lying on the bed. She was breathing heavily and seemed to have suffered a lot.
“Old Master, why are you here?” Mrs. Xu was surprised to see County
