The girl who wears fast

Chapter 55 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (55)

Xu Shichu thought about it for a while, but did not continue to explore. After all, this is not the capital city. Although she is not afraid of trouble when she is away from home, it is best to avoid trouble if possible.

But although she didn't investigate, the injured person appeared by himself.

At that time, Du Zhao and others in the carriage had already arrived at the station, and the servants were using the kitchen of the station to light a fire for cooking. Xu Shichu was in the hall of the station listening to Xiao Zhaozhao dancing and talking about what he had seen and heard on the road.

Three young men walked out of the west room, the first one was tall, handsome but pale, the other two men looked like his subordinates, because they were very respectful to him.

Xu Shichu immediately realized that it was the leading man who was injured. Coincidentally, Xu Shichu also knew this man.

He was the original husband that Luo Changqing chose to find for his daughter in the life of the original owner - Zhong Xuran, the prison chief of the picket in Beijing, who specializes in handling and reviewing criminal cases in the capital, and has a bright future.

It's a pity that there was no Xu Shichu's interference in this life, Luo Yaqing fell in love with Zhou Wencun, who had nothing but appearances, and Zhong Xuran did not become Luo Changqing's son-in-law.

Most of the officials who handle the case are relatively upright in character. After seeing many cases and various criminals, their temperament will gradually become cold and serious. This is exactly the case for Zhong Xuran. He is tall and strong, with a sharp face, coupled with personality Serious and upright, not good at words, so it is easy to make people feel threatened. He is the kind of man in the legend who can scare children to tears.

Such a man, regardless of his temperament and appearance, did not conform to Luo Yaqing's aesthetics. Therefore, in the life of the original owner, Luo Yaqing was in the blessings and did not know the blessings. He kept making troubles at home all day long. He can't coax her, he's so rigid and boring, and he doesn't want to see this husband at all.

However, Zhong Xuran is a dedicated and responsible man, even though his wife has his own feelings, he still devotes himself wholeheartedly to his wife. Even if he later gets a high position, Luo Yaqing is the only woman beside him, and he does not take concubines.

I don't know how many women in the capital are envious and jealous of Luo Yaqing's luck, but Luo Yaqing misses Zhou Wencun who can't get it, and doesn't save face for her husband. A joke in the capital.

Strictly speaking, it was definitely unlucky for Zhong Xuran to marry Luo Yaqing in his previous life.

Fortunately, Xu Shichu ignored Luo Yaqing in this life, allowing Zhong Xuran to escape.

Zhong Xuran is also married now, and gave birth to his eldest son last year. His wife is a lady from a famous family who treats him wholeheartedly. She has a gentle and kind personality.

Xu Shichu paid more attention to him, so he knew his situation better.

"Madam Luo? Why are you here? Is the Prime Minister here too?" Zhong Xuran had seen Xu Shichu before, so when he recognized her, he asked in surprise, and looked around, obviously looking for Luo Changqing , to see if he is here.

Xu Shichu smiled and said, "I took my nephew out to play, but my master wasn't with us."

Beijing officials can't leave Beijing without an edict, let alone the prime minister who is the head of all officials, Zhong Xuran only remembered this after he finished speaking, and a rare embarrassment appeared on his cold and serious face.

"Master Zhong went to Beijing to handle the case by order?" Xu Shichu asked, and gave him a sympathetic look. He came back from other places to handle the case in the early spring. It is conceivable that he went on a business trip in the severe cold not long after the New Year's Eve , not to mention he was injured.

Zhong Xuran nodded, and then said: "Because the case needs to be kept confidential, I can't tell Madam, sorry."

"It's okay, I understand." Xu Shichu understood, but the smell of blood on Zhong Xuran's body was really strong.

After thinking about it, she said again: "If there is anything that needs my help, Master Zhong just ask."

After all, the original owner indirectly caused him to marry a wife who made his family restless, so Xu Shichu was very friendly to him.

Zhong Xuran shook her head and said: "Zhong's business has been finished, all he needs to do is to return to Beijing to close the case, there is nothing that needs Madam's help, thank Madam for her kindness, I will not disturb Madam's pleasure."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Xu Shichu and wanted to leave.

But one of the subordinates following behind him looked at Xu Shichu hesitating to speak, with a tangled expression.

Seeing this, Xu Shichu asked him, "What's the matter?"

"Ma'am, my lord has been seriously injured, and now the medicine for the wound has been used up, but it will take at least two days of horseback riding to return to the capital. I am worried that your lord's body will not be able to take it, and your basic life expectancy will be damaged!" He spoke out, regardless of his companion's obstruction.

Xu Shichu originally wanted to help Zhong Xuran, but he just refused before giving up, but now that his subordinates have spoken out about their difficulties, Xu Shichu has no reason to stand idly by.

So she said one after another: "Go and take out the best wound medicine we brought, and some medicines to prevent wound infection, cold and fever, and bring them to Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Xuran still wanted to refuse, but Zhichun had already been ordered to get the medicine, so he could only thank Xu Shichu instead: "Then I will not be disrespectful, thank you Madam for donating the medicine, if Madam needs help from Zhong in the future, Just open your mouth."

"Don't be so polite, these medicines are not so precious, and Mr. Zhong was injured because he was devoted to his duty and handled the case impartially. Even others will do their best to help Mr. Zhong." Xu Shichu said with a wave of his hand.

For this kind of rigid personality, a lazy and shapeless person like Xu Shichu always felt uncomfortable in front of him, probably because of his discord.

So after Zhichun brought the medicine to Zhong Xuran, Xu Shichu didn't keep them anymore.

Zhong Xuran went back to the room, and then sternly taught the self-assertive subordinate: "Don't reveal my physical condition casually in the future, this is also part of the confidentiality of the case. If any criminals who missed it learned that I was injured, they would definitely Block us, destroy evidence, and even silence our mouths!
Don't think that you can sit back and relax when the case is over. As long as we don't return to the capital for a day and the case is not closed, we have to be cautious, otherwise we will pay the price of our lives!Do you remember? "

The subordinate who asked Xu Shichu for help lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Remember."

But he still argued a little unconvinced: "Didn't I ask Mrs. Luo for help because I saw that Mrs. Luo is the prime minister's wife and worthy of trust? Could she still harm us?"

"That's why I didn't punish you because it was Mrs. Luo this time. Otherwise, if you ask others for help, I'll demote you as soon as I return to Beijing, and make amends!" Zhong Xuran taught.
