Chapter 124: Catching a thief at He's house in the middle of the night

When the younger one heard what his elder brother said, his eyes lit up, "Then if we have money, can we redeem Xiaoqing?"

Looking at his brother, he felt very disappointed, "He is such a loser! There is nothing you want in the capital. Even marrying the daughters of officials is not a problem!"

Why are you still thinking about that whore in Chunxianglou?

The younger brother listened to his elder brother's words and felt that it made sense. He immediately had no more worries and followed his elder brother to do it.

When he has enough money, he can buy a big house, marry a virtuous woman, and take a few concubines. He still likes Xiaoqing in Chunxiang Tower, and he will redeem her when the time comes!

Gu Xingzhao hid in the darkness, looking at the two of them with amusement. It can be said that he had a very beautiful idea. He even thought about how big a house he would buy, what kind of wife he would marry, and how many concubines he would take.

Originally, I thought they were going for the fireworks, and at most they would steal some to sell, or they might have been instructed by someone to do something for money. But it turned out that they wanted to capture He Zhen directly, so as to control her and get all the fireworks business behind her.

The ambition is great, so we should give some sweet rewards.

Gu Xingzhao slowly stretched out his hand, dark clouds gathered, and lightning was ready to strike on his hand.

Just when the hands of the two men were about to touch the window of He Zhen's house, suddenly several old women and guards ran out from the darkness, surrounded the two men, and tied them up in a few seconds.

The two, one big and one small, had their mouths blocked and were whimpering with their eyes wide open.

Gu Xingzhao was surprised and withdrew his hand. It seemed that He Zhen was well prepared to deal with this situation.

As she was thinking, He Zhen came out of the house and looked at the two people in front of her, "How dare you break into my house at night!"

After all, he has been in charge of the Liu family's internal affairs for many years, so he still has some aura of being the head of the family.

The big and the small were whining again.

He Zhen then signaled the maid beside her to take out the cloth stuffed in his mouth. The older one immediately started cursing, "What do you mean by trespassing at night? It's obviously you who invited my brother and I to have a private meeting at your house!"

The younger one also echoed, "That's right! Now that the truth has been exposed, you can frame us for breaking into the house at night!"

The old women looked at each other in bewilderment. It was clearly these two brothers who broke into the house at night, but now they were turning the tables on them.

Seeing this reaction, the two brothers were fearless and sneered, "If you have the guts, send us to see the officials and let everyone in the capital talk about it!"

He Zhen didn't say anything, but the maid next to her became anxious and whispered to her wife, "Madam, you can't send him to the official!"

Her wife was already divorced and at home, and had been out doing business and showing up in public recently. Women should avoid showing up in public. There were already some people in the capital talking about it. If this matter got out into the open tonight, no matter whether anyone believed what these people said or not, the wife's reputation would be ruined. This was absolutely unacceptable.

A woman's reputation is extremely important, especially for a divorced woman. This incident tonight must not be made a big deal.

"Yes, ma'am, break the legs of these two men and throw them out!" the person next to her said hatefully.

He Zhen suddenly asked with a smile, "What is the purpose of fame?"

The maids were all stunned, and the guards were also confused. What was the reputation for?

It seemed that there was really nothing they could do, but that was not the correct calculation.

He Zhen: "I've been divorced once, why am I still worried about my reputation?"

Those who believe in themselves will believe naturally. For those who do not believe in themselves, no matter how much they talk, it will be useless.

The maid next to her was embarrassed and said, "Madam, if your reputation is ruined, it will be hard to find a good second marriage in the future."

Although they were members of the Liu family in the past, they are now working for the Madam, so they should put the Madam first and consider her in everything.

Since the ex-husband's life or death is unknown, the lady should remarry.

The two brothers were very proud. You see, it was not difficult to control a divorced woman. Even for the sake of their own reputation, they would not take any risks.

He Zhen looked at the two women who were talking, "I know you are thinking about me and the child, but I will not marry again. My husband will come back sooner or later."

She believed in Liu Xiangbai. Her husband was always a man who kept his promises. Since he promised to come back to find her and her daughter, he would definitely come back. Even if he couldn't come back, she could take her daughter to the north to find her husband when she earned enough money.

There are many ways to reunite a family. As long as you want, nothing is impossible.

Gu Xingzhao secretly admired He Zhen. In this era of male superiority and female inferiority, the thoughts of ancient women were mostly confined to the boudoir. They regarded their husbands as their heaven and therefore most of them could not leave their husbands. She remembered that in a book she had read before, there was a lady who felt that the sky had fallen and she had no hope for the future after her husband was convicted and exiled, so she committed suicide at home.

He Zhen was a thoughtful person with a strong character. If her husband could not come back, she would earn enough money to find him. It would be good for the family no matter where they were.

Seeing He Zhen so determined, the maids couldn't bring themselves to talk about remarrying anymore. They whispered, "Even if Madam wants this, she still has to consider her reputation. If the master finds out in the future and misunderstands Madam, it will be difficult to explain."

"It doesn't matter. He will believe me."

She was clear about this about her husband.

The two brothers couldn't hear these deliberately suppressed words, but the older one was a shrewd man who could read people's expressions. As soon as he saw this situation, he knew that things were not that simple. He was afraid that this little whore really wanted to send him to see the authorities. She was not the easy-to-control woman in the past. He immediately became anxious, "Making a big deal out of this will not benefit anyone! As long as you let us brothers go today, we will definitely keep our mouths shut about what happened tonight and never mention it again!"

"I won't bother you again!"

The maids in the courtyard thought it was worth considering. After all, it would be best if the matter could be resolved in a small way.

He Zhen, however, felt disgusted even looking at the two brothers, and ordered in a cold voice, "Shut their mouths and send them to the city defense battalion on patrol at night. Then tell them that these two broke into my house at night with evil intentions and were caught in the act. Please ask the government to decide their charges."

The old woman was surprised, "Madam!"

He Zhen raised his hand to stop the people around him from trying to persuade him. "I have made up my mind. If we have these two people today, there will be more people with bad intentions tomorrow. If we let it go today, people will think that my house is so easy to enter. If I can stop these two people, what about powerful people?"

Only by severely punishing these two and making a big fuss about the matter could she let the people in the capital see that even if she, He Zhen, left the Liu family and her husband, she could still be a good woman.

No one can bully me!

When the mother-in-law heard this, her mind suddenly turned around and realized that this was the truth.

She immediately stuffed the cloth back into the brothers' mouths and said, "Madam, don't worry. I will take the man out right away!"

How could the two brothers just sit there and wait to die? They struggled to escape.

He Zhen simply took out the stun gun, took two steps closer, and stabbed the man. Electric light flashed, and the older one screamed, his body convulsed, and he fell to the ground.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone was stunned, "???"

What happened?
