303 Resolution
“Do you know why those six soldiers were sent to Doctor Luo and were acting crazy?
Someone had poisoned them. There’s no cure for those who are poisoned by the hemp leaf, so they could only rely on the hemp leaf to survive. Once their supply was cut off, they would lose their minds and inflict self-torture.
The person who looked for Qiao Niang to take away the six soldiers with the intention of killing them was the one who poisoned them. He’s a spy for the northern barbarians!
Your daughter agreed to help the evildoer for five taels of silver. If not for the fact that this matter was discovered early, and they didn’t have time to set up a detailed plan, the consequences probably would have been even worse!
Madam Du, do you know that your daughter is guilty of treason?! If the northern barbarians really succeeded, these people who interceded for you and your daughter would have been killed by the northern barbarians.
Did your daughter only offend me?
No.
She jeopardized the safety of the entire northern region just for five taels of silver!”
Lin Suisui’s rebuke caused an uproar among the surrounding people.
Even the other military households who had been standing with Madam Du were frightened. They hurriedly left her side and looked at Madam Du in shock and disbelief.
“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you explain such a serious matter to us?”
“That’s right. Miss Du, you almost implicated us!”
“We’re doing this for your sake, so how can you trick us like this? You only said that Mrs. Liu couldn’t stand Qiao Niang and asked her husband to kidnap her to vent her anger!
Qiao Niang committed a serious crime!”
As the women complained about it, they had the urge to slap Madam Du in the face.
If Madam Du had told them about this earlier, no matter how bold they were, they wouldn’t have gotten involved. How was this Mrs. Liu’s fault? It was obvious that Qiao Niang had committed such a huge crime!
“Madam, please forgive us. We didn’t know the truth and offended you as a result. Please forgive us.”
Madam Du has been our neighbors for many years. Her husband passed away early, and we’re all family members of military families, so we usually take care of her. When she came to look for us this time, we thought about how she was a pitiful widow, so we accompanied her over to beg you to be magnanimous and let them off this time. However, we didn’t expect this to be the truth.”
“We were too ignorant. Please forgive us this time.”
After the women who came with Madam Du scolded Madam Du, they kneeled down to kowtow to Lin Suisui as they begged for mercy. They blamed everything on Madam Du.
Only a woman at the side couldn’t help but say a few words for Madam Du after kowtowing, “Madam, although Madam Du went overboard today, it’s all for her daughter’s sake.
“Madam, please forgive Madam Du this time.”
Lin Suisui glanced at Yuan Niang and turned to look at Doctor Luo, who was standing at the side. “Let’s end today’s matter here.
How to deal with the subsequent matters isn’t up to me to decide.
“Doctor Luo, I’ll have to trouble you to send them back first!”
After saying this, Lin Suisui turned around and returned to the residence with Bai Guo and the others. She left Doctor Luo to persuade the families of the soldiers to return.
Madam Du was completely stunned by what Lin Suisui had just said.
After she reacted, she screamed as she chased after Lin Suisui. “You’re lying. How could Qiao Niang…”
She wanted to cause more trouble, but a man rushed out of the crowd and slapped her twice in the face. “Shut up. Are you trying to kill our family because of that brat?!”
Du Wu rushed over when he received the news. At this moment, he came over and grabbed his sister’s hand to drag her back. “It’s my fault for indulging you. I saw that my brother-in-law had passed away early all these years and it was difficult for you to survive on your own, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid!
I’ve advised you before that this is no longer a trivial matter!
This crime can get our entire family executed!
When something happened to Qiao Niang back then, I asked someone to investigate!
That child is stubborn and muddle-headed, but are you going to act so stupidly too?!”
Compared to Madam Du, who only dealt with domestic affairs, Du Wu, who was doing some small businesses outside, knew more about the situation and felt that he had overindulged his sister all these years!
But now that he thought about it, it was probably because of his indulgence all these years that his sister had made such a huge mistake! She had almost brought disaster to the Du and He families.
“Qiao Niang isn’t your only child. Think about your eldest son and your newborn grandson! Are you going to let them die with Qiao Niang?”
Seeing that Madam Du wanted to continue quibbling, Du Wu simply told her the truth. “Mr. Gu has already forgiven our family on account of Brother Luo!
If you cause trouble again and everyone finds out, the Du family and the He family might really get wiped out.”
“But Qiao Niang…” Madam Du naturally understood that her brother was telling the truth, but Qiao Niang was her daughter after all. Did she have to watch her daughter die?
“Don’t mention that girl anymore! You can only blame yourself for spoiling her so much!
Now, she had finally screwed herself over!
“You shouldn’t think too much about it. We can only let nature take its course! If she’s lucky, she might be released after staying inside for a while. But if she’s unlucky, just pretend that you don’t have this daughter!”
Du Wu sighed. He didn’t want to be so harsh, but when he thought of his sister’s muddle-headed personality, he couldn’t be bothered to hide it anymore. “Stop crying. Just think about who is to blame for all of this?
After asking around, I found out that she did such a heinous thing for five taels of silver!
Even if this matter wasn’t so complicated, it caused big trouble for Brother Luo! But when Qiao Niang agreed to do it, did she consider the consequences?”
