For a moment, Jiang Hexi was thinking more and her face looked a little ugly.
Brother Jiang and Brother Jiang also looked a little ugly.
They were still not strong enough, powerful enough, and powerful enough, so Zhou Changsu was unwilling to tell them the real murderer.
Of course, whether it was other dignitaries or Zhou Changsu who harmed their father, she thought she would still find out.
Sooner or later, she will find out.
Contrary to Jiang Hexi's expectation, Zhou Changsu came again the next day.
He did not say anything about his proposal, but asked his servants to bring him a lot of expensive gifts.
Among them, there were cotton cloth, grain and grass, etc. that were in short supply in the North. He sent tens of thousands of carts of these materials in total.
Jiang Hexi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go back.
But Fu Jinsheng's mood was particularly subtle.
One moment, he thought Jiang Hexi was the one in his pocket. The next moment, Zhou Changsu, the richest man in the country, came to propose to Jiang Hexi. How could Fu Jinsheng be in a good mood?
He was just a small official like a watchdog. How could he compare with Zhou Changsu?
Although Zhou Changsu is in his early thirties, he is well-maintained and personable. A few years ago, because he donated huge sums of money to the court, he was awarded the title of Loyalty Lord. Although it was only an idle title without any real power.
But he finally had an official position, and he was as rich as anyone in the country.
With such incredible wealth and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, not to mention how wonderful my life is.
Although Zhou Changsu was also married, his ex-wife had passed away long ago and he only had one daughter. As long as he married off his daughter, there would be no other heirs in the family.
In this comparison, every woman knows how to choose.
For a moment, Fu Jinsheng's eyes flickered, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Fortunately, half a month later, his sister Fu Laniang came back to visit relatives.
Fu Lanniang's return gave Fu Jinsheng another chance to get close to Jiang Hexi.
Fu Jinsheng knew that women always have to be coaxed. If a woman is coaxed to a point where she is willing to do so, no matter how powerful other men are, the woman will be willing to follow him.
Fu Jinsheng began to carefully plan how to seduce Jiang Hexi and make Jiang Hexi fall in love with him first.
But he has never thought about how he, a married man, and Jiang Hexi's brother who has always regarded him as her best friend, could be tempted by him?
On the other hand, after Fu Lanniang came back, she was also happy because she was going to see Jiang Hexi.
When Fu Lanniang came back this time, she looked very unhappy. Except for a woman, no one else came back with her. None of the maids who went to dowry her back then came back with her.
Fu Lanniang was extremely thin, and her whole body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. When she looked at people, her eyes were dim, and she had long lost the agility and liveliness she had as a young girl in her early years.
When she came back this time, she was worried that her family would not welcome her because of her worries. Fortunately, Fu Jinsheng went to pick her up in person, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
After briefly freshening up, she decided to visit Jiang Hexi on the second day.
When Fu Lanniang sent the invitation to the county lord's mansion, Jiang Hexi knew that Fu Lanniang was coming, with a happy look on her face, and hurriedly asked Sister-in-law Du to welcome Fu Lanniang in.
However, when she saw Fu Lanniang, she was a little stunned.
The girl in my memory who was considerate and considerate, always had a smile on her face, and looked like a young lady, has changed now. She is so thin that she seems to be blown away by a gust of wind. The originally oval face has become shriveled.
Her eyes were dull, and when she saw Jiang Hexi, she shrank a little, and bowed to Jiang Hexi respectfully.
"Folk girl Fu Lanniang has met the county lord."
Jiang Hexi originally happily greeted Fu Lanniang's hand, but suddenly stopped.
"Lanniang!"
She couldn't help but walked over and helped Fu Lanniang up.
"Lanniang, you...why are you so thin?"
She held Fran's hand
When I touched my mother's hand, I became even more frightened. On the back of my hand, there was really only a layer of skin covering the bones.
Whether a woman is living well can be known by looking at her clothes and appearance.
Fu Lanniang's appearance is naturally not good, and it cannot be compared with when she was a girl. You must know that when she was a girl, her family was just a poor farmer's family.
On the side, Fu Lanniang couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes as soon as she heard Jiang Hexi's words.
"County Lord, County Lord..."
The nanny who followed Fu Lanniang into the mansion hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, our girl really can't live any longer. Please save her, otherwise, my girl will definitely not be able to survive."
Jiang Hexi's face darkened and she said, "What's going on here? Lan Niang, is your husband's family treating you badly? If you tell me the truth, if we sisters can help you, I will definitely help you."
"
Fu Lanniang couldn't bear it any longer, so she started crying and told her every detail of her marriage.
When a woman gets married, she is reincarnated again.
And many times, you know the person but not the heart, and many men are used to pretending. You never know who you are marrying.
Such is the case with Fu Lanniang.
When Fu Lanniang first proposed marriage, Jiang Hexi prepared a generous dowry for her. Because Fu Lanniang herself was good-looking, after the war, many families proposed marriage to Fu Lanniang.
Finally, Fu Lanniang fell in love with the fair-skinned Mr. Hu.
Hu Gong has both parents, but he is the only son in the family. I heard that his family was originally from Fuzhou City, and his family was very well-off. It was only because of the war that he fled to Yuzhou.
Finally, the Hu family came to propose marriage, and she agreed to the marriage.
At first, Jiang Hexi brought out a lot of good things to add to Fu Lanniang's makeup. She sincerely hoped that her best friend would live a good life. After they got married, Fu Lanniang took the dowry money and bought a wife to take her with her.
We went to Fuzhou with the Hu family...
As a result, after arriving in Fuzhou, they discovered that the good conditions that the Hu family boasted about did not exist at all. The Hu family had been living in a relative's home, relying on the autumn wind to survive, and even basic life became difficult.
Fu Lanniang had no choice but to pinch her nose, take out the money from the bottom of the box, and finally buy a small house to live in.
After arriving in Fuzhou, the Hu family, who were originally kind to Fu Laniang, changed their faces.
Mrs. Hu and Old Man Hu were both lazy and mean people, so they simply regarded Fu Lanniang's dowry as their family's private property.
On weekdays, when cooking, the three of them could eat and drink at the dining table, but Fu Lanniang was stood aside to set the rules. Whenever Fu Lanniang took one more bite of rice, she would be beaten and scolded by Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu and Old Man Hu are good at ruining people. After marrying their daughter-in-law, they immediately acted like old ladies and old ladies, bossing Fu Lanniang and Fu Lanniang's wife around every day. If they hadn't had a wife, I'm afraid they would have
Fu Lanniang had already been beaten to death by these two people.
Fu Lanniang choked up and said, "Three years after we got married, I paid for all the expenses of the family. I prepared all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. After my dowry was squandered by them, I had no choice but to take my grandma to mend clothes and wash clothes.
I can feed their family. But even this is not enough, they... they want to take my life."
"What's going on?" Jiang Hexi's face changed after hearing this.
"Mrs. Hu has a cousin in her natal family. I heard that she grew up with the boy from the Hu family. She was a childhood sweetheart. But in the past, the girl disliked the Hu family for being too poor, so she didn't marry him. Now that I have bought a house and my family's life is good, then
After my cousin divorced, she had nowhere to go, so their family brought her back and asked me to serve her like an ancestor. In private, I heard Old Man Hu and Mrs. Hu discussing, planning to grind me to death so that I could be given to him as soon as possible.
Their cousin gave up her seat."
Because of this, Fu Lanniang managed to escape back.
The mother-in-law on the side said, "County Master, you must make the decision for my young lady. If she returns to Fuzhou again, she will definitely be tortured to death by their family."
After Jiang Hexi heard this, she looked at Fu Lanniang and said, "Lanniang, what do you think? Tell me what you think."
Fu Lanniang bit her lips and said fiercely, "I want to reconcile, I... I also want to take Xiao Duo'er away. They dislike Xiao Duo'er being a girl and have treated Xiao Duo'er badly since she was a child. If I don't take her away,
If you follow Xiao Duo'er, Xiao Duo'er will definitely be tortured to death by them."
She paused and then said, "Mr. Hu's niece is already pregnant. When her child is born, where will Duo'er's status be?"
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "Okay. What else do you have in mind?"
"If possible, I... I want to take back the house I bought. It will be the foundation for me to return to Yuzhou in the future."
As for the money they had squandered to support the Hu family, she knew she would never be able to get it back.
Those three people are indolent and greedy for pleasure. How can they have money in their pockets?
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone to sort out the matter of peace and separation for you."
As a county leader, she still has this right.
Thanks to her being powerful now, otherwise, if she were a commoner, how easy would it be to help and separate?
When other families divorce, they will only ask the woman to leave the house and leave the house. Not only will they not return the family property, they will also take the children born by the woman in their hands and rub them hard, just to tease and manipulate the woman.
They decided that the woman couldn't let go of the child.
He wants to use his children to control women and manipulate them.
Jiang Hexi sent someone to Fuzhou to help Fu Lanniang reconcile, while Fu Lanniang's master and servant were left by her to stay in the county lord's mansion temporarily.
As for Fu Jinsheng, since his sister lived in the county principal's residence, he would send greeting cards from time to time and come over to visit his sister.
When Fu Jinsheng went to the county lord's mansion, he could often see Jiang Hexi.
Because Jiang Hexi was busy with official duties, although he didn't see her often, he would see her at least three or four times out of ten.
