After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 183 How is this possible?

But if Xu Rong died, and was killed by Zhou Lai, then according to Xu Rui's revengeful nature, Zhou Lai would definitely die.

Not only Zhou Lai, but the entire Zhou family will be overturned.

She is not the only one who understands Xu Rui. Zhou Lai is stupid, but Zhou Qin is a smart man. Even if Zhou Lai and Zhou want to kill Xu Rong, Zhou Qin will judge the situation and disagree.

Zheng thought what she said made sense, but she was still worried about Xu Rong and her face was full of worry.

"If you're worried, you can either stay here or go back and wait for news. Xu Rong might be back tomorrow."

Jiang Xiyu didn't intend to care about her anymore. She just said this and let the carriage go.

The nanny beside her also stepped forward to persuade her, "Old Madam, I think you actually have some skills. You also saw that the Zhou family was intimidated by her just now. Why don't we listen to you and go back and wait. We will see what happens tomorrow."

No matter how unwilling Zheng was, she felt that what the nanny said was right. After weighing the pros and cons, she reluctantly got on the sedan chair and returned home.

In the carriage, Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er beside him, "Qing'er, how's the investigation going?"

She just asked Qing'er to give money to Zhou's servants, and also to give Qing'er the opportunity to inquire about the situation.

Qing'er said with a serious face, "I have heard that Miss Rong is now living in Linxiang Pavilion, the original residence of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family."

Jiang Xiyu was stunned and frowned.

Originally, incense pavilions were particularly popular in the south of the Yangtze River. It was said that women in the south of the Yangtze River often lived in seclusion, were well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Generally, wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River would build incense pavilions for their daughters, which meant to pamper them.

Zhou Qin had served as an official in Jiangnan for several years and had several daughters, so it was not surprising that he had a fragrance pavilion at home.

But Xu Rong married into the Zhou family, so why would she live in the Xiangge where Miss Zhou used to live?

"Did they explain why Xu Rong lived there? Xu Rong and Zhou Lai weren't newlyweds, they should have their own new house."

Qing'er thought of something and whispered, "Madam, there's something very strange. A maidservant and a servant said that after the cousin and Miss Rong got married, they never lived together. The cousin still lives in the original courtyard, and he rarely goes to Linxiang Pavilion. But Master Zhou and his wife go to see Miss Rong every day."

Jiang Xiyu was a little surprised.

Xu Rong did not marry into the Zhou family willingly, and it is understandable that she has a bad relationship with Zhou Lai, but it was Zhou Lai who used tricks to marry Xu Rong. He also knew that it was Xu Rong who plotted against him and made him a eunuch. He should have put Xu Rong in his own yard and tortured her every day.

Now she is thrown into another courtyard, and Zhou Qin and Zhou go to see her every day. How abnormal is this?

"Did you find out anything else?"

Thinking of something, Qing'er couldn't help but smile, "I also heard that when Miss Rong got married, the dowry she brought was all stones."

"How is this possible?" Jiang Xiyu was shocked.

"I don't believe it either, but this is what the maidservant who serves in the young master's room said. She overheard the conversation on the night of the young master's wedding and Miss Rong, and only then did she know that Miss Rong's dowry box was filled with stones. She later went to complain to Madam Zhou, and Madam Zhou brought people to find Miss Rong, scolding her harshly. After that, she sent Miss Rong to Linxiang Pavilion."

Jiang Xiyu frowned.

Xu Rong's dozens of boxes of dowry should have been prepared by Xu Rui. After all, Zheng didn't have that much dowry to subsidize Xu Rong.

The dowry Xu Rui prepared was all stones. This was probably because Xu Rui knew that Xu Rong loved money like her life, so he deliberately punished her.

She thought that forcing Xu Rong to marry Zhou Lai was Xu Rui's most severe punishment for Xu Rong, but she didn't expect that he had a backup plan.

It has to be said that Xu Rui understood Xu Rong. Compared to marrying Zhou Lai and having her dowry turned into stone, perhaps the fact that her dowry turned into stone was more painful for Xu Rong.

The Zhou family wanted to marry Xu Rong because Zhou Lai was injured and could not marry a girl from a good family. They also wanted to use Xu Rong to control Xu Rui and rely on the power of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion. Another reason was that they were also eyeing Xu Rong's dowry.

Especially the Zhou sisters. The two sisters are birds of a feather. They both care about their daughter-in-law's dowry. But now 70% of Xu Rong's dowry has turned into stones. I'm afraid Zhou must hate Xu Rong to death.

It is even more strange that Zhou hates Xu Rong so much and yet brings her husband to see her every day.

Qing'er thought of something and whispered, "I also heard that there are servants guarding Linxiang Pavilion. On weekdays, except for Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou, no one else is allowed to approach Linxiang Pavilion."

They also sent guards and didn't allow anyone to get close. It seemed like there must be something wrong with Linxiang Pavilion.

Qing'er suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Madam, do you think Miss Rong has been imprisoned by the Zhou family? Should we report it to the police?"

Jiang Xiyu frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Don't be impulsive. Let's wait until Xu Rong returns home tomorrow."

When Xu Rong returns home tomorrow, all the truth will be revealed.

Qing'er was still a little worried, "They have locked Miss Rong up, will they really let Miss Rong come back?"

Jiang Xiyu narrowed her eyes and said, "I definitely will."

No matter what purpose the Zhou family had in imprisoning Xu Rong, as long as they did these things, they must have been afraid of making the matter worse, especially if it was brought to the attention of the government, which would be of no benefit to the Zhou family.

So they will definitely let Xu Rong return home tomorrow, but they are afraid that Xu Rong will not be the only one coming back tomorrow.

**

Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou relayed Jiang Xiyu's words to Zhou Qin. "She said Xu Rong must be allowed to return home tomorrow, otherwise she will bring people from Shuntian Prefecture to demand her return."

Zhou Qin narrowed his eyes sinisterly, "As expected of Xu Rui's woman, this Jiang is really good at tricks."

No matter how many times that brainless woman Zheng made a fuss, he would not take it seriously. But Jiang Xiyu brought up Shuntian Prefecture, which forced him to take it seriously.

Zhou said worriedly, "I don't think Jiang Xiyu would dare to report it to the authorities. After all, we have the leverage over Zheng. Even if Jiang Xiyu wanted to report it to the authorities, I don't think Zheng would dare to do so."

Zheng had previously instructed Zhou Lai to do something inappropriate to Jiang Xiyu, and she remembered all of this. If they really dared to report it to the police, she would expose all this.

She had used this matter to control Zheng many times before, and Zheng didn't dare to report to the police.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qin immediately glared at Zhou. "You're confused. If Jiang Xiyu was as easy to deal with as Zheng, she wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

Zhou Qin's words instantly ignited Zhou's anger. "That bitch caused my Lai'er to become like that. I will settle this account with her sooner or later."
