Bab 49: Planning to Get Rid of Gu Zi

The crooked teeth auntie finally had a captivated audience, and she shared everything that had been weighing on her mind.

She spoke eloquently and gestured animatedly, not bothering to consider that her words were distorting the truth.

Chu Xi rose from her seat and asked, "Did you really see this?"

Auntie Crooked Teeth slapped her thigh and asserted, "Why would I lie to you? She genuinely hid a bag. Think about it, why would such a beautiful woman from the city marry into the countryside? It's surely for the money."

Chu Xi shared the same suspicion, chiming in, "Do you think she conspired with someone to deceive Su Shen and take his money?"
