The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 410 - 232: Irrefutable Evidence

After the two left, Mrs. Xu called Zhao Minghua and Chun Nuan.

"Aunt, do you have any instructions?"

"Nuannuan, take a look at this."

Confused, Chun Nuan took the booklet and looked at Aunt in surprise. She knew this thing existed all along, but where did Aunt get it, and such detailed signatures from both the recipient and witness?

With this, and now having Xia Guangcheng’s backing, she could definitely reclaim this property.

"Aunt, how did you get such detailed information?"

"It was Third Madam Xiao and Sixth Madam Xiao who approached me for collaboration..."

She then spoke about the matters of the great Xiao Family clan.

"The great Xiao Family clan has always been like a mini palace intrigue, spending great effort on fighting for the clan leader’s position, even resorting to mutual sabotage, truly embarrassing."

Zhao Minghua listened and found it quite amusing.

What’s the big deal? The Xiao Family clan leader’s position isn’t a royal throne.

Many of the properties managed by the clan leader are public; at best, he exercises some functions—yet they are worth brothers destroying each other over.

If it was just dispute between legitimate and illegitimate sons, it would be understandable, but even between brothers who share the same parents, they would go so far as to harm each other, showing that their cruelty comes from their bloodline—equally predatory.

"Power blinds," Mrs. Xu, despite being a backcourt woman, was no stranger to the dirty deeds within the various affluent families’ courtyards in the Capital; even the Royal Family had its secrets.

Big households fought in their ways, while small ones had their squabbles.

Ultimately, it all boiled down to greed causing trouble.

"I don’t care how they fight; I just want to get back what’s rightfully ours now," Mrs. Xu said to Chun Nuan: "Nuannuan, what do you think is the best way?"

"Since we have the evidence, let’s just report it directly to the authorities."

What use is face? It can’t be eaten.

With those in the great Xiao Family clan, you really don’t need to save face.

They’ve always been doing shameful things!

"Alright, let’s have Chun Ning visit the government office."

Now with Xia Guangcheng supporting them in Changzhou, the Xiao family needn’t worry.

"Concerning Third Master Xiao and Sixth Master’s affairs," said Mrs. Xu, "Since I’ve benefited from them, let Chun Ning show this to General Xia."

Chun Nuan took the letter, admiring how those two women were indeed capable to obtain such significant evidence.

So, never underestimate any backcourt woman. They may seem unwilling to manage or act, but they are not truly foolish or incapable.

The husband is their face; though they might have dissatisfaction or minor conflicts usually, when it comes to crucial moments, they still seize the opportunity and safeguard their husbands.

Third Madam Xiao and Sixth Madam Xiao were right; once they returned to the Xiao family, they were put under house arrest, not allowed to leave.

The two remained calm, patiently waiting for news.

They believed Mrs. Xu would not stand idly by.

One had to admit, a significant part of the agreement reached by the two women was due to their husbands’ abilities.

On the surface, Third Young Master and Sixth Master weren’t fighting against each other, neither yielding to the other.

In reality, the two got along so well privately, hence why the accounts were made so detailed, and their wives approached Madam Xiao for help.

Many times, they were very aware of Mr. Xiao’s abilities.

Not much in other skills, but very adept at scheming.

At this moment, the two men were sitting in the dungeon, still thinking about the ancestral temple.

"Do you think Third Sister-in-law and our wife can find a way to save us?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Sixth Master Xiao was somewhat unsure.

"Your wife isn’t stupid," Third Master Xiao was more confident in his own wife: "They may usually keep low profiles, but they are the smartest among the wives. Old Six, you’re fortunate to have married such a wife; even the children are smarter."

"Compared to Third Sister-in-law, ours still needs more learning."

"Stop being sarcastic." Third Master Xiao sneered: "All calculations imagined, I never thought the elder brother would be so ruthless, pulling the rug from under us, wanting to directly eliminate us."

"Fortunately, General Xia is involved now, first detaining us. If it had been someone eager for achievement, brother, we’d be accompanying each other on the road to the netherworld."

"Get lost, I don’t want to die." Third Master Xiao said: "This time, if I don’t have the elder brother finished off, we’ll have to tread very carefully thereafter."

Sixth Master Xiao... pretending not to hear!

The old man is yet to die, and the people of the Xiao family are already beginning to make moves.

For just a clan leader position, is it worth it?

"If I can get out nicely, I want to follow General Xia to quell the rebellion, to gain military achievements," Sixth Master Xiao envisioned: "In this shoddy place, always just Sixth Master Xiao, always a frog in a well, struggling merely for that small piece of land."

Those capable aspire more.

"Go ahead, just don’t forget your brother once you become wealthy."

Third Master Xiao said: "If you fall into difficulty, your brother can still support you."

"Thanks, brother."

"Don’t thank just yet, let’s first see if we have the fortune to get out."

"Hope General Xia can see clearly and give us justice."

Such a naive thought, but indeed, one could only think like this.

After all, looking at Changzhou now, General Xia is the top man.

He can decide others’ life and death with one word, including the entire Xiao Family clan.

In the study of the county government office, Xia Guangcheng sat there, and the county magistrate felt immense pressure.

"The case of the Xiao Family clan will be entrusted to Lord Li."

"General..."

Lord Li silently shouted inside, ’No please!’ That was a major case involving traitors; not handling well would spell trouble for him; handling it well... What exactly was handling it well?

Traitors, execution across nine generations or three generations?

The Xiao Family clan will be a river of blood!

"General, outside there’s a young man claiming to be Third Young Master of Hundred Herbs Hall, Zhao Minghua, seeking an audience."

The guard came to report, seeking Xia Guangcheng’s decision whether to see or throw him out.

"Let him come in then."

General Xia didn’t expect Zhao Minghua to be this impatient; having just had the report delivered, now coming over to inquire?

"Commoner Zhao Minghua greets the General."

"Rise, have some tea." Once Zhao Minghua was seated, Xia Guangcheng asked: "You and I are brothers-in-law, no need for such formalities."

"No harm in excessive courtesy." Zhao Minghua smiled faintly, taking out a letter to hand to Xia Guangcheng.

"What is this?"

"This is the reason Aunt sent Minghua here, and additionally, Minghua will also serve a formal complaint on behalf of the Xiao family, accusing the Xiao Family clan of seizing multiple Xiao family properties and lands..."

Taking the two pieces of evidence, Xia Guangcheng chuckled inwardly.

Unexpectedly, the aunt came to assist Third Master Xiao and Sixth Master Xiao; she probably didn’t know, much of Mr. Xiao’s plan had his pushing help.

When he arrived in Shu City and learned of what the Xiao Family clan had done to the Xiao family back then, he was determined to make decisions for the aunt’s family, to make them pay back a thousandfold.

It seemed the effect was good, the Xiao Family clan really crumbled from within, allowing Aunt to get such crucial evidence, and everything would be resolved smoothly.
