Chapter 618: Making a Decision
Magistrate Xu pointed to the figure lying on the bed and asked, "What's going on?"
"It was discovered by the servant who was attending to Lady Chu. When they found her, she was lying on the ground vomiting blood. I don't know the specifics either." Mrs. Xu was also somewhat puzzled. She couldn't believe the news when she heard it.
Magistrate Xu's gaze fell on Lady Chu, and he asked directly, "Was it someone else who poisoned you, or did you drink it yourself?"
Lady Chu on the bed struggled for a while before managing to utter, "Master... save... save me."
"I'm asking you, answer honestly, otherwise, I can't save your life either." Magistrate Xu's eyes were cold and stern.
Lady Chu originally wanted to conceal the truth, but seeing him like this, she knew that if she didn't tell the truth, she might not survive. But she still wanted to live, she didn't want to die.
"Master, it's... it's the Wang family. They sent someone to forcibly... make me help them with something... the young servant... by my side... is..." Lady Chu didn't finish her sentence before passing out.
Magistrate Xu had already gotten what he wanted, his expression was very unpleasant. He stood up and said to Mrs. Xu, "Get a doctor to see Lady Chu, don't let anything happen to her, I still need her."
"I have other matters to attend to, I'll go to the front hall first."
Magistrate Xu left the backyard with his attendant in large strides.
The attendant didn't expect Master Wang to be so audacious, actually daring to use manpower to kidnap the third young master of the Xie family in the county government.
Although the wealthy merchants in the county had always competed to do business and enrich their families, they had not gone so far as to harm lives. How could it be that when it came to Master Wang, he repeatedly crossed the line...
"Sir, what exactly does Master Wang want to do?" The attendant said nervously.
"What else can he do? He wants to break the current situation in Nanchang County." Magistrate Xu had been an official for so many years, he had his own judgment. Compared to Master Wang, who was daring and unscrupulous, he preferred to cooperate with the Xie family.
The Xie family's vision had long surpassed Nanchang County, but unfortunately, Master Wang completely failed to realize this and dared to challenge them.
The attendant took a deep breath. "Sir, what about this case..."
"Deal with it as it should be dealt with."
"But, Master Wang used to be able to endure, why has he become impatient recently?" The attendant wanted to remind Magistrate Xu that Master Wang might have some backing.
Magistrate Xu couldn't fail to see this point. He said, "The Xie family must be clearer about this than us."
In the reception hall of the county government.
Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie already knew what had happened.
Mrs. Xie glared at Mr. Xie "Didn't you say before that nothing would affect Yu'er's exam, but now such a big thing has happened!"
"My dear, I'll handle this right away and make sure it doesn't delay Xiao Yu," Mr. Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead, signaling Xie Yu to help.
Xie Yu helplessly looked at his mother. "Mother, luckily Sister-in-law saved me today. Why don't we just resolve this matter now?"
"I think so too. The Wang family has been causing trouble for too long. If something had happened to Xiao Yu today, and he had left for the capital, we would have been helpless." Mr. Xie described the situation seriously.
Worry immediately appeared on Mrs. Xie's delicate face. "That won't do, if it's delayed this time, we'll have to wait another three years. What will Yu'er say about marriage then?"
"Old Xie, you must handle this matter." Mrs. Xie urged.
Mr. Xie smiled and said, "Alright." He was quite happy about it.
Previously, his wife wanted to use this incident to train their third son, Xie Yu. He had said that they could find another opportunity to train him in the future. His wife always said that opportunities were rare, but now, almost a mistake had occurred.
He wasn't in a hurry. Children would grow up slowly, there was no need to demand perfection in everything.
