Chapter 1124: There’s A Way Out
Chief Chang was stunned. He felt a note being stuffed into his hand.
He immediately smiled readily. “It’s indeed getting late. We won’t disturb you anymore. When there’s any progress, I’ll get someone to inform you.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Shao Qingyuan brought Gu Yundong back to the house. After closing the door, Gu Yundong said, “Phew, I’m too tired. I used to think that this rule was especially unfair to women. Now, I actually find it satisfying to use this reason to divorce a woman like Hong Xiaoni.”
Shao Qingyuan stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. “The seven-divorce rule is just the source. If you really want to divorce your wife, you can find any excuse. If you don’t want to divorce your wife, even if the seven-divorce rule is broken, he doesn’t care.”
Gu Yundong nodded. In any case, there was no being divorced at her place. There was only peaceful divorce… and widowhood.
As she thought about it, she turned her head and gave Shao Qingyuan a sinister look.
The latter was speechless. Why did she feel a chill down her spine?
He quickly changed the topic. “After this commotion, the Zhou family should know that reconciliation with us is completely impossible. They will probably find other ways. I’ve already handed the note to Chief Chang. The rest is up to them.”
Patriarch Chang hurriedly returned to his house with the note. He immediately entered the house and unfolded the note.
There were many words written on it with charcoal. The most important one was—Get someone to follow Zhou Jingui and Hong Xiaoni from now on and find someone to guard the village entrance.
Patriarch Chang rubbed his chin. Did this mean that Zhou Jingui and Hong Xiaoni were going to do something?
No matter what he did, it seemed like the two of them were already on his side.
The most important thing now was to suppress the Zhou family.
Patriarch Chang quickly went out and gave a few instructions to a few smart people in the clan.
These people quickly nodded and dispersed. Two of them went to the vicinity of the Zhou family and watched the Zhou family’s movements.
At this moment, in the Zhou family, Zhou Jingui could not help but slap Hong Xiaoni hard again, almost knocking out her teeth.
Chief Zhou frowned. “Alright, what’s the use of hitting her now?”
“Patriarch, what should we do now?”
Patriarch Zhou’s expression was vicious. “I’m afraid that the two people surnamed Shao are unwilling to reconcile with us. We can only think of another way.” He paused for a moment before saying, “Find Young Master Qiu.”
“But Shao is an official. Although Young Master Qiu has some influence in the county, is he willing to go against an official?” Young Master Qiu only wanted to take in a concubine. Would he offend Shao for Hong Xiaoni?
“That Shao is an official, but we don’t know how big he is. Who knows if he’s just fooling people?” At that time, he had seen the Fish Talisman, but he didn’t see the words carved on it clearly. “Isn’t Young Master Qiu in contact with our county magistrate? Please ask him who this person is. If he’s not a high-ranking official… Hmph.”
Zhou Jingui asked in a low voice, “What if he’s a high-ranking official…?”
“It can’t be that big. He doesn’t even have a proper guard by his side. His wife is also Gu Xiaoxi’s niece with no background.”
Zhou Jingui nodded repeatedly. “Yes, Uncle is right. I’ll go to the county city tomorrow morning. You can stall for time here first.”
“Mm, don’t let anyone notice. When you see Young Master Qiu, tell him more about Xiaoni’s hardships and humiliation.”
“Yes.”
Early the next morning, Zhou Jingui left the house before dawn.
