Tang Dalang and his men returned to the county town and told Meng Renfu about the incident.

Meng Renfu approved their request to borrow official horses and sent someone to Ning'anfang to tell Qiao Yun the results of the investigation.

Qiao Yun said that she knew about it, treated the messenger to a bowl of wine and sent him away.

Although the store was not open today, Qiao Yun still did not allow Gu Yu to go to bed early. After all, if she went to bed early, she would wake up early the next day, and she could not fool her with things from the game.

At this moment, there were three lights lit in Qiao Yun's courtyard.

The two glass lanterns in the upper room were very bright, and the west wing was also lit with bright lights. Guyu took advantage of today's rest and took the time to rush everyone's clothes and shoes.

Qiao Yun was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, the street lamps hanging high stretched her shadow on the ground.

Yun Xuemei couldn't stand it any longer, so she pulled her back into the house and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about evidence!" Qiao Yun simply sat down on the bed and sighed worriedly. "There is no evidence that Mrs. Lu did feed me the sweat medicine."

"Why do we need evidence?" Yun Xuemei was puzzled. "There is a huge difference between the county magistrate and her. Wouldn't it be better to convict her directly? How dare they appeal?"

Qiao Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "Those who have no evidence will always be criticized! Magistrate Meng is kind-hearted to help me, but I don't want him to be stained."

Speaking of this, Qiao Yun suddenly thought of a good idea.

She pulled Yun Xuemei over and whispered something into her ear. Yun Xuemei nodded while listening and said, "Okay, I understand."

Qiao Yun smiled and let go of her hand, using the excuse of sleeping to continue going back to the game to upgrade.

There is no evidence, so she can create evidence!

The next day, Yun Xuemei took a gold leaf and a handful of loose money in her arms, borrowed a horse from the carriage house, and went straight to Baihe Village.

On the way, she met a woman with her head wrapped and a burlap skirt. She looked like Mrs. Li, but Yun Xuemei didn't pay attention.

On the contrary, it was her well-dressed figure walking away that made Li stare at her for a long time.

Li also didn't recognize Yun Xuemei. It was dark that day when she stayed overnight, and she didn't see Yun Xuemei's appearance clearly. Now she just envied such rich and wanton people.

However, she was only envious for a while and continued walking towards the county seat.

Riding a horse and galloping is much faster than riding a donkey cart and walking with both legs. It takes more than half a day to walk, but if you gallop on a horse, you can reach it in just an hour.

This early in the morning, there were already many men busy with spring plowing in the fields outside Baihe Village, while most of the women were at home, sewing, mending, washing and drying.

Because not all homes have mud brick walls like the Qiao family. There are a few extremely poor people who have fences in their yards.

This made Yun Xuemei arrive at the entrance of the village, and many women who were hanging clothes in the yard noticed her.

Being stared at by so many rural women like a novelty, Yun Xuemei felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She saw an old lady with white hair and a cane sitting at the entrance of a courtyard at the entrance of the village, so she walked up to her and tentatively called out: "Madam, can I ask you something?"

The old lady raised her eyelids, her voice was hoarse, but she was energetic enough: "What's the matter? Just ask, I'm over eighty this year, and there's no one in this village whose trivial details I don't know."

"Is there a family in this village with the surname Qiao? The old woman who heads the family now is surnamed Lu?"

The old lady rolled her cloudy eyes, seeming a little puzzled: "It's strange... Who has the Qiao family hired recently? One or two of them came to inquire about her. Yesterday, two delinquents from the county government also came to inquire.

, today you are here to ask, who are you?"

Yun Xuemei thought for a while and said, "I am from the Zhen family in the county."

"Oh...are you Mrs. Zhen's natal family?" The old woman's hands suddenly started to tremble, and she grabbed the walking stick tightly, with a look of eating melon written on her face.

"That's right! I am her natal sister-in-law. Let me ask you, how is the relationship between Mr. Lu and your village? What do you think of her?"

"Well, what else can we do?" The old woman pursed her lips, "Our family has nothing to do with her!"

The woman who was drying clothes in the courtyard wanted to come out and ask who her mother was talking to, but when she reached the door, she heard Yun Xuemei's question. She, who also loves gossip, couldn't help but interject: "She is not a rare person to everyone.

Ignore her! You don’t want to get messed up by her.”

"Then you don't get along too badly with her. At most, you don't have any contact with her?"

"That's not true." The woman leaned against the door frame of her house and said, "There is a woman who hates Mrs. Lu all the time. She always says that Mrs. Lu is a thief and has robbed her things!"

Yun Xuemei became interested and handed over a handful of copper coins: "Please tell me carefully."

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw the copper coins. She quickly took the money and gave it to the old woman for safekeeping. She smiled brightly and lowered her voice and said to Xuemei Niang: "She is the rich widow in the village! She is young.

She was married once, but the man later contracted tuberculosis and died. She left the child and returned to her parents' home. When Mr. Qiao married the girl first, the Qian family also intended to let their daughter go there to renew their relationship. Who knew that Lu

I cut off my beard!"

After hearing this, the old woman snorted disdainfully: "Both families are not good people. They all know that Mr. Qiao is the only seedling of the Qiao family. At that time, the Qiao family had 40 acres of divided land and 40 acres of permanent land! Both families have

If you want to marry your daughter off and use her, who made the old lady at the head of the Qiao family dislike the character of a wealthy widow? It’s her own fault if she can’t be chosen. Who dares to marry a woman who runs away after a man steps in front of her? "

The woman smiled lowly: "The person named Qian doesn't think there is anything wrong with him! He just feels that Mr. Lu has taken away someone else's share, and he gets scolded all day long."

Yun Xuemei asked Qian's address again, then said goodbye and walked towards Qian's house.

The widow's money just matched her and Qiao Yun's expectations.

He has a grudge against the Lu family and is a money-grubbing villain himself. Only such a person would calmly take money to help them do things.

Yun Xuemei knocked on Qian's door knocker.

"Who is it?"

Unexpectedly, a young female voice sounded from inside the door.

Yun Xuemei said: "I have something to do with your house. Could you please open the door?"

Squeak, the door was opened.

Behind the door was a very young face. The young woman behind the door looked at Yun Xuemei up and down with wariness and hostility, a little jealous of this fairy-like woman.

"Is there a widow named Qian here?" Yun Xuemei asked bluntly.

The woman asked back: "What do you want from my mother?"

Yun Xuemei took out the bright gold leaf from her purse and curled her lips: "I'm here to give money to your family."
