Chapter 1097 Treating the Daughter-in-law as a Son (2)
Zhou Hui just pursed her lips, and said disapprovingly, "Forgive her to cry two jars of tears this time, it's useless." Zhou Hui said, holding Liu Qiqiao's hand again: "It's just me these few days It's not convenient to go back to the palace, but I really want you to help me make this trip, and help me plead guilty by the way."

Liu Qiqiao just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know how to say it, the madam and the old lady know that you are fine, I'm afraid your anger will disappear."

Zhou Hui laughed again, and said: "When Doctor Du took my pulse just now, I was so frightened that I almost lost my mind. Fortunately, he didn't reveal anything, otherwise it would be over."

Liu Qiqiao just stood up and said: "I will remember this time, you owe me a favor, my honest man, if I hadn't mentioned it in advance, do you think he would lie for you?"

Zhou Hui only caressed her chest and said, "I knew it was your idea, it's no wonder that he obeyed your words so much, it's just so enviable."

"You're not the same. When I went out today, I saw the second young master who was full of snot and tears, but put all his energy into acting. My heart ached when I saw it!"

Zhou Hui burst out laughing and said, "He, he doesn't know anything else. If he can't do this little thing, I won't blame him."

The two chatted for a while, Du Ruo had already written the prescription and handed it to Qing'e, Liu Qiqiao followed Du Ruo and left the Hou Mansion.

Liu Qiqiao explained the matter to Mother Ye again, only saying that Zhou Hui's mother and child were safe, so that both the wife and the old lady could feel at ease, and also explained that the son would come to the door in person when he was free, and then talked about the matter before and after, and let the old lady feel at ease. The two of them were relieved.

When Du Ruo and Liu Qiqiao returned home, it was rare for Second Master Du to come home early, and the three of them agreed to meet in the Grand Master's study after dinner to discuss important matters.Liu Qiqiao followed Du Ruo back to Baicaoyuan, and then said, "I'm still not in a good mood seeing Second Uncle, my eyebrows are all wrinkled together."

"At noon, my father went to Shuiyue Nunnery to look for me, and said that the second uncle went to Prince Gong's Mansion early in the morning, and didn't say anything else."

Liu Qiqiao was fascinated by what she heard, and said in a daze: "So, second uncle has figured it out? Are you planning to do it like this?" Liu Qiqiao stepped forward, took off Du Ruo's coat, and said slowly: "Actually, there is a saying There is an old saying: no business, no fraud, no official, no corruption, if officials are occasionally corrupt, if no one reports it, it’s probably nothing serious, right?”

Du Ruo only glanced at Liu Qiqiao, squinted his eyelids and said, "Where did you hear this old saying? It's a set." Liu Qiqiao only shrank her neck, and said, "I heard it yesterday. I thought about it all night, why don't we just send the account book to a certain censor's mansion, this matter has nothing to do with us, why should we make ourselves so embarrassing?"

I just heard Du Ruo continue: "A few years ago, there were a few censors who were very powerful, but later they died in an accident. Some people secretly rumored that they offended someone. In fact, it is not easy to be a censor. You can't defeat others. , others can easily kill you, so these few censors in recent years are all kind people."

Liu Qiqiao understood now, she just nodded and said: "That is to say, in fact, taking bribes and giving bribes is not a felony? Then is Miss Zhu's account book useful?"

Du Ruo only frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Dayong's criminal law has always been unclear about the criminal responsibility of accepting bribes, and it mainly depends on the mood of the judge. But if it involves a murder case, it will be quite different. Let's ask Second Uncle Wang Ye what he thinks first."
