Ms. Du was overjoyed.
Ms. Bao Liu was about to go crazy. “F*ck you! What right do you have to give her money?! What the hell! You officers are bullying us and helping this b*tch to steal my family’s property!”
She shouted.
In the next moment, her mouth was shut.
The criminal division had already asked Bao Lunsheng about the Bao family’s property. Only 20 acres of the land was given to Ms. Du. The reason was because the Bao family still had a clan. If Ms. Du took all of it, the Bao family would definitely be upset, so they split it in half.
In terms of money, 20 taels of silver was enough for the mother and two children to eat and drink for a year.
The Bao family had more than that, but Ms. Du could only take that much. No matter how much it was, it might not be a good thing for her.
Now that it was clearly divided, Ms. Du’s eyes lit up.
“I heard that you can cook. It just so happens that the criminal division is in need of a cook. You can bring your children to stay there temporarily and take care of the officials’ meals. If you do a good job, there will be a lot of monetary rewards in addition to your salary. I wonder if you are willing to do that?” The female official asked again.
She was worried that Ms. Du would not dare to go.
The criminal division was different from the governmental administrative office. The officials there were fierce and the criminals were terrifying. Therefore, it was not easy to hire a cook. They often had to be replaced.
“Yes! I’m willing!” Ms. Du hurriedly said.
She was just thinking that if… she brought the silver and the land back to her family, her family would leech off her!
However, she did not expect that the officials would actually help her with her livelihood!
Oh, that Taoist master from yesterday…
“M-May I ask if you know a… female Taoist master? That Taoist master is very good-looking. She’s 30 to 40 years old…” Ms. Du asked carefully.
The female official did not know, but the person sent by the criminal division knew.
“You must be talking about Master Mo Chusheng, the owner of Fortune Pavilion. She’s an expert.”
Ms. Du remembered what she said.
Master Mo, Mo Chusheng.
When she had settled down, she would go and ask around. Later, she would have a tablet of this master and pray to her everyday.
Divorce did not sound good, but she knew that this was her hope to live!
If it was not for these officials helping her solve her worries, she would probably still be stuck in this mud pit, not daring to stand up…
..
After signing the divorce documents, the officials immediately arrested Ms. Bao Liu.
Ms. Bao Liu thought that the officials were just scaring her into agreeing to let her son and daughter-in-law be divorced. She did not expect them to actually arrest her!
She immediately fainted from fright.
On the other side, the family’s midwife was also arrested.
Similarly, when the midwife was captured, she also had a face full of confusion. Even when the people from the criminal division mentioned the twin baby girls, the midwife still could not understand.
What was wrong with her nephew not wanting the daughters?!
She had only drowned the baby girls because she listened to her sister-in-law and nephew. If that was considered a crime, then how many midwives in this world would not be guilty?!
She cursed and was locked up.
First, they interrogated her. They calculated how many lives she had taken and what she had done in her life that she was guilty about. Then, they added to the number of canes.
They would drag her to the entrance of the wet market to be executed tomorrow afternoon!
The matter of interrogation was no longer done by Xie Pinggang now. In the afternoon, he brought Zhou Weizong back to the Xie Residence.
After returning to the Xie Residence, Xie Pinggang was still not in a hurry. It was as if he did not see Zhou Weizong’s ashen face. He said to the steward, “Go to the Lin Residence and find that aunt of the Lin family. Ask her to come over..”
