The sunset dyed Meizhou City orange, and people's movements suddenly slowed down in the evening, and the city became quiet. The shadows of people and buildings were drawn long, alternating and intertwining, like the rhythm effect on the music player.

A sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility and the rhythm of shadows.

Du Ruo's carriage was very fast, and he ran all the way to the Xicheng Gate shared by Meizhou City and Meishan County. In the blink of an eye, he passed through the thick city wall. The gate displayed behind him was the east gate of Meishan County.

Du Ruo came to Su's house. This time he did not avoid anything because he was an outsider who was a prospective son-in-law. He directly asked to meet Su Xun and said he wanted to talk about the Su family affairs.

"Du Ruo, we know your kindness, but this is the matter between Su and Cheng families, so you don't have to get involved."

Su Xun's forehead had been bandaged, and he met Du Ruo with Mrs. Cheng in the inner hall, and Su Shi, Su Zhe and Su Xiaomei were accompanying him.

Although Su Xun had a fighting attitude towards the Cheng family, he did not want Du Ruo to interfere in this matter. After all, the son-in-law was an outsider after all.

Mrs. Cheng has a kind and calm personality. Su Baniang looks the most like her. She just looked at Du Ruo in confusion at this moment.

Su Shi and Su Zhe looked at Du Ruo with gratitude. They had heard Su Xiaomei say that Du Ruo went to investigate Su Baniang's condition as soon as possible.

"Uncle Su, it's related to Sister Su's life. Since Du Ruo knew about it, he couldn't ignore it."

Du Ruo bowed respectfully, but his words were very strong.

When Su Xun and others heard Du Ruo say so seriously, they immediately became nervous and quickly asked what he knew.

Du Ruo glanced at Su Xiaomei, and the two gave each other a comforting look. Du Ruo informed the Su family of what they learned from Dr. Li, which was just to make them mentally prepared for the reality they faced next.

But even if he only told these things, Su Xun and Su Shi and others were still disgusted. Su Xun even cursed the Cheng family and the beasts, while Mrs. Cheng was covered in sorrow and silent.

"Then, I found the confidant Madam Huang, who was beside the mistress of the Cheng family. After asking questions, I finally told her the real reason why Sister Su was bedridden."

Du Ruo's tone became more and more low, and the Su family looked at him with their eyebrows.

"Sister Su was bedridden for half a month and was not sick at all! But... she was beaten by Cheng Zhicai!"

This statement was like a thunder exploded in the inner hall of the Su family. Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and Su Xiaomei turned pale after hearing this, and Su Xun suddenly stood up.

Mrs. Cheng's figure swayed. If it weren't for Su Xiaomei beside her, she would have fainted on the ground.

"This...is impossible..."

Mrs. Cheng murmured, but she cried sadly.

"Du Ruo, what you said is true?"

Su Xun suppressed his anger and looked at Du Ruo with red eyes.

Du Ruo nodded: "That's what Madam Huang said. Half a month ago, Cheng Zhicai suddenly attacked his sister and suffered internal injuries, so..."

Du Ruo has tried his best to explain it briefly. In fact, what Du Qing learned from Madam Huang was that Cheng Zhicai had been domestically tragic to Su Baniang for more than half a year. As soon as he drank, Cheng Zhicai, who was gentle and gentle outside, would beat and scold Su Baniang for no reason when he returned home.

At first, he used a book to roll it up and beat Su Baniang, then used a bamboo strip, and then used a kettle and wooden stick. Half a month ago, Su Baniang was beaten by Cheng Zhicai with a rolling pin-like wooden stick, and finally fainted directly on her back.

In the Song Dynasty, married men favored their concubines and killed their wives by committing crimes, and domestic violence against their wife was a major scandal that affected the imperial examination career. Therefore, the Cheng family strictly guarded the concealment of this matter.

Regarding Su Baniang, the Cheng family also threatened the imperial examination qualifications of the Su family and the father and son, which made her rotten in her stomach.

That's why Su Baniang has always endured it, but the Cheng family did not feel sorry for her or felt grateful for her kindness. Cheng Zhicai's domestic violence against her is becoming increasingly severe. The Cheng family's mistress also thought that Su Baniang must have treated Cheng Zhicai badly and was raped.

It's purely worthy.

This is everything Du Ruo knew from Madam Huang. How dare he tell the Su family that Cheng Zhicai hit Su Baniang with a wooden stick?

If that is said, the Su family, including Su Xiaomei, will not collapse?

"internal injury?"

Su Shi and Su Zhe's eyes turned red in an instant.

"Beast! Ba Niang is also his cousin after all!"

Su Xun gritted his teeth and slapped the wooden table heavily, almost smashing the wooden table with force.

Mrs. Cheng was heartbroken and full of tears. Sister Su also shed tears, but she didn't cry. Her eyes were full of hatred, but she felt sorry for her mother and didn't say anything for a while.

"Impossible, Zhicai is not such a child..."

After all, Cheng Zhicai is Mrs. Cheng's nephew. When she saw him growing up, she still didn't believe Du Ruo's words, and she held a turning point in her heart.

Du Ruo said slowly: "No matter what, Sister Su must be brought back. The truth will be revealed when she comes back. The Cheng family wants Sister Su..."

Du Ruo did not continue to say that Su Baniang was scarred by Cheng Zhicai's domestic violence, which was a time bomb for the Cheng family. Of course, the Cheng family hoped that she would die soon.

Anyway, Su Baniang is already a member of the Cheng family, and she will be killed by death and no one can care about anything.

"Father, let's go and take my elder sister back!"

Although Su Shi and Su Zhe were so sad and angry, they still did not forget the etiquette and bent down to Su Xun for requests of ninety degrees.

Su Che said hatefully: "If he really beats his elder sister, he will definitely not forgive him!"

"I have to write a big story to the government to sue him!" Su Shi clenched his fists, and the joints on the back of his thin hand were raised.

"Go! Go and ask for someone!"

Su Xun rolled up his sleeves and walked out loudly. While walking, he ordered the butler: "Get the axe for chopping firewood in the woodshed, I'm going to chop that beast Cheng Zhicai!"

With Su Xun's personality, he could do such a thing, but Mrs. Cheng behind him was unable to lean on the chair and no longer wanted to stop anything.

"Uncle Su, two brothers, please wait."

At this time, Du Ruo stood up and stopped the aggressive Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe. The three of them looked at him in confusion and said, "Uncle Su, if you rush to the Cheng family like this, the Cheng family will definitely guess what you know. It is related to Cheng Zhicai's future, and they will not hand over Sister Su."

After saying that, Du Ruo glanced at Mrs. Cheng and continued, "We are weak and cannot beat the Su family for the time being."

"Then let's fight to the death with them!"

Su Xun roared, Su Shi and Su Zhe looked unrestrained, and the three fathers and sons of the Su family were as arrogant as heroes.

Seeing that they were about to rush out, Du Ruo was about to stop him, but Mrs. Cheng spoke later: "Stop!"

"I'll pick up Ba Niang back, I beg my mother!"

Mrs. Cheng stood up with the help of Su Xiaomei, looking tragic. The mistress of the Cheng family was strong. The old lady had already eaten vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name and did not care about anything. She didn't dare to promise anything when she asked the old lady.

But this is the only way at present.

"Mother, father, don't worry, listen to what Du Ruo said."

Su Xiaomei spoke, and she saw that Du Ruo had some other words. She was also the first person in the Su family to calm down. She knew that Su Xun or Mrs. Cheng would not come back.

Cheng Zhicai had hope of imperial examinations, but the Cheng family dared not take risks with his future.

Mrs. Su Xuncheng and others calmed down a little and looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo's face was calm, but in fact he felt helpless. It can be seen that Mrs. Cheng favored her parents' family very much, and this time she was destined to leave a bad impression on her future mother-in-law.

"Uncle, aunt, please listen to me."

A gentleman is calm when encountering major events. Du Ruo bows respectfully, which also makes Mrs. Su Xuncheng infected and calms down a lot.

Du Ruo said: "Please wait one more night. We will go to the Cheng family to ask for people tomorrow morning. I promise that the Cheng family will release people by then!"

Du Ruo did not say the specific method, so Su Xun and others naturally asked, but Du Ruo still only promised not to say the method.

Du Ruo was the one who was rewarded with silverfish bags. His abilities were recognized by the government and his family was powerful. He insisted not to say anything. With Su Xiaomei on the side, Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe had to stop asking more questions, suppressing his anger and agreeing to wait for one more night.

It was already dark at this time. After Du Ruo said goodbye and left the Su family, he made a plan with Shangguan on the road.

Early the next morning, Du Ruo came to the Su family yawning. The Su family was already waiting for him.

"Jiahui, you take good care of your aunt at home. I will go and pick you up with Uncle Su and two brothers, and wait for good news for us."

Let Su Xiaomei and Mrs. Cheng stay at home, Du Ruo and Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe took a soft couch carriage and went to the Cheng family with heavy steps.

Half an hour later, in the living room of the Cheng family.

"What, you want someone? It's impossible. Ba Niang is our Cheng family, no one can take her away!"

As expected, when the Ma Ma, the headmaster of the Cheng family, learned that Su Xun and others were here to pick Su Baniang up home, they did not give in at all.

"Do you want to kill my daughter? She was obviously beaten to bed by the beast Cheng Zhicai. If you don't treat her injuries, you can give her any medicine to cure wind and cold. Her heart is vicious!"

Su Xun shouted at Ma's angrily, and Ma's face changed immediately. She naturally realized that Su Xun knew the inside story. She couldn't help looking around her close friends, and her mean eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

"Call Cheng Zhicai out!" Su Zhe shouted.

Su Shi said coldly: "We will sue the government after daring to abuse his wife! He will be deprived of his qualifications for the exam!"

Du Ruo watched coldly, and he wanted to let the Su family vent his unhappiness first, and beat the Cheng family. In the end, if it really didn't work, he would show his trump card.

"It's nonsense and nonsense!"

Ma Shi had a cold face and refused to admit it: "What evidence do you have? Without evidence is frame-up, and according to the law, you will be punished! In-laws, I think our two families are relatives, so I will not pursue them, but you can't talk nonsense, right?"

She is also testing.

"Evidence?" Su Xun looked at her coldly, "Do you dare to lift Ba Niang out and test the wound on her body? If I talk nonsense, I am willing to receive any punishment!"

Su Xun's words were also tentative. After all, he did not dare to confirm whether Du Ruo's news was accurate.

"Examination? What kind of injury is tested? Ba Niang is the eldest and granddaughter-in-law of my Cheng family. She has a noble status. How can she allow someone to test her body? Wouldn't it be a humiliation of the family if it is spread?" After hearing Su Xun's words just now, Ma had concluded that Su Xun had not found any evidence. Now they will not be afraid of anything as long as they die.

Even if the government is alarmed, the government has no power to manage the family affairs of the Jiang Qing family.

If Su Baniang died during the period, that would be even better. Even if an ordinary woman died, she would never allow coroners to undergo a post-mortem, let alone Jiang Qing’s family.
