New widow

Chapter 493 Persuasion

"Why congratulations?" Butler Qiu asked, and Wan Dequan smiled faintly: "Your master hates my niece to death. Your master must be very happy that my niece has been charged with such a big crime now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Butler Qiu became even more silent. Wan Dequan knew why Butler Qiu was silent, but he still said to himself: "It's just that revenge must be done to the real enemy. At this moment, your master My revenge has been avenged, but what about your niece’s revenge, who will avenge her?”

"She's also my niece..." When Butler Qiu said this, he saw a hint of ridicule on Wan De's face, and then Wan Dequan smiled: "The person who will harm your niece in the future will have a high official, a rich salary, and a beautiful wife and concubine. , as for your niece, the coffin can only be placed in the nunnery temporarily, and you don’t know when it will be returned to your husband’s house for burial. As for you, you still have to hold that person. As for your niece’s child, as time goes by, with a stepmother, you will also do not know……"

"Shut up!" Of course, Butler Qiu knew that most of what Wan Dequan said was true, but because it was mostly true, Butler Qiu couldn't listen to it.

Wan Dequan looked at Butler Qiu: "Can't you stand this?"

"I'm just a servant of Shangshu Mansion, so naturally I'm the master..." Butler Qiu's words were interrupted by Wan Dequan's laughter, and then Wan Dequan said: "What I say now is just a lie, and it's a lie. It’s no one else but yourself.”

Of course Butler Qiu knew that such words were just words to deceive him, but after being exposed like this, Butler Qiu still showed an angry look on his face: "What are you talking about?"

"If you really accept your fate, you won't marry your niece to a scholar!" Wan Dequan said coldly. Butler Qiu's lips parted. Wan Dequan was telling the truth. Who would really accept his fate? Betroth Mrs. Chu to Chu Zhixian and give Mrs. Chu a generous dowry so that Mrs. Chu can use the dowry to support Chu Zhixian's studies. When Chu Zhixian wins the election and goes to Beijing to seek an official position, Butler Qiu also goes to ask Wang Shangshu. I asked for a letter from him so that Chu Zhixian’s activities in the capital could go more smoothly.

Isn't this just to make the family better? Butler Qiu's breathing became thicker, and Wan Dequan said calmly: "Of course you are loyal to your master, but what did you get in exchange for your loyalty? It was your nephew's family that was destroyed, and it was your nephews who became You are an orphan without a father and a mother. Your niece died in vain. You clearly know who killed her, but you dare not say a word."

"Shut up!" Butler Qiu reached out and patted the table. Wan Dequan was naturally not afraid of Butler Qiu. He looked at Butler Qiu and said, "Am I wrong?"

Of course, Butler Qiu knows that Wan Dequan is right. It is precisely because Wan Dequan is right that Butler Qiu cannot let Wan Dequan continue talking. If he continues to talk, Butler Qiu will know that there is a fire in his heart. Sooner or later, this fire will come. Will burn himself.

"You, get out of here." Butler Qiu pointed at Wan Dequan. Wan Dequan was not afraid of his anger. Wan Dequan just smiled and said, "I can leave. I can even watch my niece go. Death, but your niece, when the time comes, no one will ever know that she was actually killed by her husband."

"You!" Butler Qiu felt that what Wan Dequan said after that must be terrible, so Butler Qiu's eyes widened, but Wan Dequan still smiled calmly: "Besides, how can such a person have the dignity to be an official? "

Upon hearing this, Butler Qiu looked at Wan Dequan and blurted out: "What do you want to do? My niece and he have three children."

"What use are those three children to your Qiu family?" Wan Dequan asked back. Before Butler Qiu could refute, he heard Wan Dequan continue: "You can say at this moment that they are still young. , but do you think that in a few years, when they grow up and get married, do you think they will be intimate with someone they have never met?"

Butler Qiu was saying no in his heart, but his mouth seemed to be stuck with something and he couldn't speak.

"You can lie to yourself, but many times, you can't lie to others about many things." Wan Dequan said slowly: "My niece, even if she hasn't spent a day with us, still wants to help us get away with it. They even broke with the Kuang family for our sake. Your nephews and grandnephews," Wan Dequan paused: "When they grow up, they know that their uncles are on death row, and they know that their uncles and grandfathers are servants of other people's families. , will they recognize you?"

No, no, Butler Qiu has said countless no in his heart, but nothing shows on his face. Wan Dequan observed the words and expressions and already knew that Butler Qiu was struggling in his heart, so Wan Dequan sighed softly: "It's a pity. Even if they know that their mother died in the hands of their father, they still won't be grateful to you."

Yes, Butler Qiu shed tears and admitted that what Wan Dequan said was right. Those three children, the three children whom Butler Qiu had never met, would not be disappointed if one day they knew the truth about this matter. I will be grateful to the Qiu family.

"My poor niece." Butler Qiu finally cried. Wan Dequan watched Butler Qiu crying and communicated with each other, and handed him a handkerchief. Butler Qiu wiped his tears with his handkerchief for a long time, and then said to Wan Dequan: "What do you want me to do about this matter?"

"Of course, we have to find the real murderer behind it!" Wan Dequan's tone was calm, but Butler Qiu already shook his head: "That's not appropriate, that's not appropriate, he is an official."

"Even if you are an official, you must abide by the king's law." Wan Dequan said in a normal tone, but Butler Qiu smiled bitterly: "You know, it is difficult to shake my identity, and even your identity."

"Sometimes, the more seemingly small a person is, maybe he can do something big." Wan Dequan's words were something that Butler Qiu had never heard before, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Wan Dequan looked at him: "Your niece should have a few close servants."

"You said we should start from the servant's side?" Butler Qiu immediately thought of Wan Dequan's idea, so he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, this servant must be loyal, no, no, no."

"Besides, there is no reason for a slave to sue his master." Wan Dequan completed this sentence for Butler Qiu. Butler Qiu smiled: "Since you know everything, why are you still looking for me?"

"Of course it's because I don't need these servants to come forward to testify." The slave's accusation against the master will be accepted. It has to be the crime of punishing the nine tribes. For ordinary crimes, the slave will not risk his life to sue the master. Wan Dequan is very familiar with the law. He spent the night there thinking about it and came up with an idea. He told Su Qiao this morning and the two discussed it before letting Wan Dequan come in to find Butler Qiu.

When Butler Qiu heard Wan Dequan say this, he frowned again: "What do you mean?"
