Chapter 202: Weird Laws (Part )

Su Liuyue smiled and glanced at Master Xiao Song, and said, "Master Xiao Song's concerns are correct, but I built this workshop for another purpose, and you will know when the time comes."

Even though she was about to become the Crown Princess, Su Liuyue had not forgotten her original goal - to earn a large amount of money so that she would not have to worry about anything!

Although you can make a lot of money by opening a store, the process is too slow.

If you’re going to do it, do it big!
Man Yifang and the others were already accustomed to trusting Su Liuyue unconditionally. They just looked at each other in confusion and didn't ask any more questions.

Xue Lingwan, who was also helping out in the store today, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Cousin, you are definitely the most special princess consort in all dynasties. Does your cousin know about your profiteer side?

Come to think of it, if Xuezhu and the others hadn’t held me tightly, I would have run out and called him “cousin-in-law!”

Su Liuyue glared at her with amusement.

She believed that this guy with social skills could definitely do such a thing.

Xue Lingwan was not afraid of being glared at, and she continued to say slyly, "I just saw my cousin's husband holding my cousin's hand tightly! I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a difficult person to approach, but it turns out that he is only difficult to approach towards others!

Speaking of which, Third Brother's position should be down soon! We have suddenly embraced such a strong thigh, can I expect Third Brother to stay in Xinjing?"

These days, the girl is worried every day that Xue Wenjin will be sent out.

Daqing has a three-year term. If Xue Wenjin is sent out this time, he will have to wait at least three years before he can be transferred back to Xinjing.

Her second uncle was sent out after passing the imperial examination, and he has not been able to return to Xinjing for five years.

Su Liuyue was not too worried about this matter.

Although Zhou Yunke didn't say it, she inexplicably felt that Zhou Yunke would not ignore her third cousin.

But I can't tell this girl who can't keep secrets. If I tell her, she will definitely start showing off again without knowing the seriousness of the matter.

She patted her head in annoyance and said, "If you have the time to think about this, just help me worry about Man Yifang. I will definitely have less and less time to pay attention to Man Yifang in the future. Manager Yuan can't take care of so many things by himself, so I'm counting on you."

She also told Yun about this matter.

Yun always felt that her little daughter was too lively and wanted to give her some training. Seeing that she liked working for Manyifang, she asked Su Liuyue to train her more.

She didn't expect her little daughter to marry into a wealthy family in the future. She just hoped that she could stay in Xinjing, stay with her family, and have more to rely on in the future.

Xue Lingwan has always been very concerned about Man Yifang's affairs. She immediately stood up straight and said with a smile, "Don't worry, cousin. Recently, Shopkeeper Yuan has said that I am becoming more and more like a shopkeeper. Maybe I can really become a legendary female shopkeeper in the future!"

After Su Liuyue dealt with Man Yifang's affairs, it was already beginning to darken outside and it was time for Man Yifang to close the store.

Su Liuyue went home with Xue Lingwan. After leaving Man Yifang, she looked around and saw that Wei Erlang was no longer around, so she didn't think much about it.

After getting on the carriage, Xue Lingwan suddenly said, "By the way, I heard from my mother this morning that my cousin went to help Jingzhao Prefecture investigate a case again. But what difficult case has happened?"

Her cousin loves listening to stories, and Su Liuyue is never reluctant to tell her about the cases she is investigating.

So, she told Xue Lingwan everything about today's case, and took the opportunity to review the case to see if there were any clues or details that were missed. Xue Lingwan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God! The first victim turned out to be the woman who was killed near Zuixianlou that day. That time, because my cousin hadn't come back, my mother was very worried and even asked someone to inquire about the case.

That Madam Mei was really pitiful. There happened to be a neighbor of theirs living in Zuixianlou that day. He said that Madam Mei was actually quite strong-willed. After she was almost beaten to death by her husband, she really wanted to report to the police and even asked for the details of the report.

But...according to Daqing law, if a wife accuses her husband, even if it is true, she will still be sentenced to two years in prison."

In ancient times, the husband was believed to be the leader of the wife. Even if the husband really beat his wife, if the wife reported it to the police, she would be challenging her husband's status and therefore should be punished.

That’s why there are such strange laws.

Su Liuyue remembered that when she went to Madam Mei's house today, Madam Mei's husband did say that Madam Mei had previously thought of taking him to see the official.

Xue Lingwan sighed secretly, tilted her head and leaned on Su Liuyue's shoulder, and said: "This is too terrible, why can the husband report to the police without any worries when the wife beats him, but the wife has to be punished, this is not fair at all!
I heard that it was only after Mrs. Mei learned about this that she chose to continue to swallow her anger. After all, she still has two children. If both of them were locked up, who would take care of the two children? "

So, sometimes, she is really afraid of getting married.

She had lived such a happy life over the past decade. If she accidentally married the wrong person and ended up like Madam Mei, she would not know how to cry.

Su Liuyue raised her hand and touched her head soothingly, but something suddenly flashed through her mind, but it was too vague for her to grasp it for a moment.

Just then, the Xue family arrived.

Su Liuyue could only put aside the vague thoughts in her mind for the time being and decided to go to Jingzhao Prefecture the next morning to inquire about the progress of their investigation.

The next day, Su Liuyue went to Jingzhao Prefecture early in the morning and ran into Feng Dali who was about to go out. When Feng Dali saw her, his face immediately lit up and he said, "Miss Su San, you came at the right time. We have made several discoveries, and the road captain wanted me to go find Miss Su San!"

The investigation was progressing faster than she had expected.

Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, followed Feng Dali, and asked, "What did you find?"

"First, Miss Zhong's detailed autopsy report came out."

Feng Dali said as he walked: "Coroner Chen carefully compared the bodies of Madam Mei and Miss Zhong and found that the marks on Miss Zhong's neck were much deeper. Several bones in Miss Zhong's jaw were even broken. It is a miracle that Miss Zhong was not strangled to death."

Su Liuyue's face darkened, "But no matter how you look at it, the murderer didn't intend to strangle the victim. Just as we inferred yesterday, his act of strangling the victim's neck with his hands was due to his emotional outburst.

The marks on Miss Zhong's neck showed that the murderer was more emotionally unstable than when he killed Miss Mei.

The hatred in his heart is deepening. If I am not mistaken, the next victim will appear soon!"

"That's what we thought too."

Feng Dali's face darkened as he said, "So after we got Miss Zhong's autopsy report yesterday, Lu Dutou immediately sent more people to investigate the case. However, we checked Miss Mei's whereabouts for the past three months, but we couldn't find out when she met the murderer.

Madam Mei basically stays at home or in the bun shop. There are usually people around her. She is not alone very often. We have recorded the time and place of her actions alone in the past three months.

In addition, there is another most important discovery.”

To clarify, the laws here refer to the Song Dynasty.
