After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 132 What they care about, I don't care

Baili Zheng said this, picked up the already cold tea, took a sip and continued:

“Right now, all those people are detained in the government jail.

I have already given a heads-up to Magistrate Liu.

The case will be tried as soon as the new year begins.

Before that, I won’t let anyone get close to me, and I won’t let them have an easy time!”

Su Rongrong didn't expect this to happen, so she asked:

"Why couldn't the trial be held before the New Year? Was it sealed by the government office?"

"Well! This year's situation is special. The government office is sealed two days earlier than the county office, so we have to wait until after the New Year.

It just so happens that you have found your aunt, so let her go when the time comes!

The evildoers who have done evil things should also be allowed to see with their own eyes their retribution!"

Su Rongrong nodded, took out a pot of hot tea from the space, poured him a cup, and asked:

"Then the Qi Mansion's properties have all been sealed up now, right?

Don’t let the talented people here be imprisoned while other tribesmen over there take the opportunity to divide up the family property.”

Baili Zheng took the cup, blew it gently, then took a sip and continued, "Are you still not confident in my ability to do things?"

Su Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"That's good! But Brother Zheng, there is one thing I don't quite understand.

My grandmother's family is my mother's uncle's family.

Could it be that they have a bad relationship with my grandmother and will never have any contact with her again?

As for my mother and aunt, if they had paid more attention, they wouldn't have ended up in the current situation!

Or are they not good people either, and have already become involved with the Qi family's side branches?"

Baili Zheng shook his head and said seriously:

"According to what I have found out, your great-grandmother was your great-grandfather's child bride, so she didn't have a so-called natal family.

Currently, those who covet the Qi family's property are led by your great-grandfather's cousins.

Your great-grandfather himself had two brothers and a sister.

It’s a pity that the two brothers were short-lived and didn’t live to get married and have children.

As for my younger sister, she married a scholar in her early years. Later, with the financial support of the Qi family, the man passed the imperial examination and became a juren and a jinshi.

Also, because of his awkward background as a Jinshi, he was able to get a job with the help of your great-grandfather.

But you have to go to the northwest to be an official.

It is also because of this that your mother's aunt, your great-aunt, rarely returns home for several years.

What hope can there be in this case?

However, there are more cousins ​​from the Qi family's side branch, that is, your great-grandfather, a total of six people.

They don't have any special skills of their own and have always relied on your great-grandfather to make a living.

Look, your grandmother gave birth to a daughter, and they wanted to adopt their offspring to your great-grandfather.

If your great-grandfather doesn't agree, will you let your grandmother marry into the family?

They were looking forward to it so much. Your grandmother gave birth to two daughters in succession, and then the old couple in the family had an accident. Wouldn't they have an excuse to cause trouble for your grandfather?

But your grandfather is not a good person. He has been coveting the Qi family's wealth for a long time. How could he let these fall into the hands of the Qi clan members?

I guess he would remarry the girl from the Qi family, firstly to appease the Qi clan members, and secondly, they might have been hooking up together a long time ago.

Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother will die because your grandfather revealed their whereabouts.

It’s hard to say, there may be traces of the Qi family’s influence in it.

Anyway, they are typical, who is the beneficiary and who is the murderer.

Well, we’ll know the details of this matter after the review at the beginning of the year.

The relevant persons have been detained by the government, you don’t have to worry.

You can choose to tell your aunt now, or you can choose not to tell her and wait until after the New Year!"

Su Rongrong nodded, stood up and stretched, then said:

"Okay! Then Brother Zheng, you go back and take a rest, and I'll have lunch with you.

I'll make two dishes later and you can take them back and have some more."

Baili Zheng also wanted to go back to the new house to take a look, so he nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Su Rongrong came to Qi Jianing's kang room.

Qi Jianing plans to continue her confinement until today, and she is already thinking about whether to take a bath today or tomorrow.

After seeing Su Rongrong come in, she asked, "Sister Rong, why are you here to see me at this hour? Is there anything urgent?"

Su Rongrong did not hide anything from her and repeated truthfully what Baili Zheng had just said to her.

Finally, he said, "Aunt, how about letting Zhiming and Zhiyuan stay at home first, and you go back to the city to take a look?

If you can get the Qi family's wealth back, then you can take them back to the capital.

After all, that's the provincial capital, and there are many good private schools there.

Besides, the Qi family’s property cannot fall into the hands of others. It belongs to you and my mother.

Find my mother someday and let her live there too."

Qi Jianing listened to this expressionlessly, then said sarcastically:

“I don’t care about what they care about!

I will not inherit the Qi family.

I will just sell them all and bring the money to live here."

At this point, she came back to her senses and said, "Sister Rong, you are right about one thing.

Everything in that house belongs to me and my eldest sister.

When the time comes, I will sell all my things and give you half of the money I get!"

Su Rongrong was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aunt, when my great aunt was a girl, did she have a good relationship with my great grandfather?

Brother Zheng’s family has connections in the northwest. Why don’t I ask him to help find my great aunt?

We are located in the south of the Yangtze River. A little further south are the islands, which are indeed very far away from the northwest.

Just the round trip, if everything goes smoothly, will take a month or so."

Qi Jianing still had no expression on her face. Just when Su Rongrong thought she would not say anything else, she spoke.

“My great aunt actually came back once when I was little.

I remember that my mother and grandparents were still alive at that time. Yes, because my father married into the family, your mother and I called your grandparents grandpa and grandma.

I was only five years old when my great aunt came back, and I remember it very clearly.

Because I heard what they were talking about at that time. My great aunt wanted her eldest grandson to marry my eldest sister, that is, your mother.

My great aunt said that my mother was in poor health and would never have another child in the future, and my father was not a good person at first glance.

Rather than letting the family wealth fall into the hands of other people in the future, or continuing to marry a son-in-law, it would be better to let the eldest sister marry her family's Hang'er.

That brother Hang was our cousin, two years older than my eldest sister. My aunt brought him back to visit relatives at that time.

My grandparents and mother were originally very happy that she came back, but when they heard this, they all disagreed.

They knew that their great aunt would never let their eldest grandson stay in Muyang Mansion, so their eldest sister would have to marry far away.

The Northwest is a bitterly cold place. How could a delicate girl from the Qi family go there and suffer?

However, my grandfather did not deny it outright. He just said that he would find a way to bring their whole family back to Jiangnan.

If that doesn't work, then bring Hang'er and his family back.

He also said that with him as their uncle, Hang'er's family would not be treated unfairly.

But for some reason, my great aunt disagreed.

Later, this marriage was discovered by my father.

I don’t know what happened, but it wasn’t a very pleasant incident and it ended up in nothing.”
