The Lady's Sickly Husband

C48. Changyou, Three-Sided Attitude

At Changyou.

The carriage was galloping speedily along the way. Manager Yu, whose head and mouth were full of blood, went back to his mansion and immediately report this to his father, Secretary Yu, who then visited the mayor's mansion at night.

Hearing Secretary Yu's report, Wei Zhida, the mayor of Changyou city, contemplated for a moment, asking, "What's your opinion?"

"Sir, in my view, I think the governor of Tianxiang city wanted to dominate the dock to his own."

"In real terms, Tianxiang city is a province while our Changyou city is a county. From land occupation and official-ranking, we're one-level lower than them. If he really wanted that, he could just say it. He didn't have to set up a trap like this."

"He must also want a good reputation, being a good man in surface while playing dirty tricks from behind."

"How dare him! Though he ranks higher than I am, he has no great family to back him while I have Wei family to prop me up."

"I heard that Xin Yun have Xie family behind him. It was because of the recommendation of Xie family that he was able to get promoted. Otherwise, by an ordinary person like him without family background, how could he possibly sit on the throne of a governor?"

Xie family was one of the three super-families in Tianqi Dynasty. Its power couldn't be underestimated.

There were three super-families in Tianqi dynasty. Ning family mastered the economy of the world; Su family had many members who were general in the imperial court, with military power in the grip; Xie family produced three impresses, belonging to imperial relatives. It would be unwise to offend any one of them.

"Then, what's your opinion? Just give up like this?"

"I think..."

At Jian mansion, Tianxiang city.

Listening to the report of the servants and watching his daughter's feeble look, master Jian roared and stamped his feet, "Who on earth is the woman that is so daring to ruin my daughter's reputation?! Are you servants dead at that time?"

The furious master Jian cast the cup to the ground. Bang. All the old and young male and female servants kneeled down onto the ground in an instance.

Jian Qingyou sat on a chair, but since she had fallen into water and got a cold, she curdled in the arms of a nanny as soon as she got back home.

With her father hitting the ceiling and her nanny, who had been treating her well, kneeling down to beg for forgiveness, she frowned, "Father please don't blame that woman. It was her that saved my life. Though her method was extreme, I heard doctors say that she was giving me air. But for the air, I might have lost my breath now..." Her slow and gentle voice was persuasive.

Mrs. Jian listened to her and shed tears, "My poor child."

She stood up and pointed at the one of the people who had been bound up, ordering, "Come on. Beat this evil person to death and sell all of her families as slaves to the remote. Let them do hard labors for their whole life. Then make an investigate to find out who is the person behind this..."

As the madam demanded ferociously, someone had come out and pulled away the servant woman who had "accidentally" bumped the eldest young lady into water.

Old madam Jian, "Well. No matter what, be sure to figure out who was the life-savor and send her our gratitude. We should do that, otherwise people would call us mean and ungrateful. In addition, seal up the dirty mouths and stop rumors from spreading."
