40Chapter 5 Section 4

"The eighth lady is asking for her life?" Liu Ping muttered, and then asked: "What does this mean? Does the eighth lady mean the eight young ladies or the eighth young lady?"

Xu Yunde said: "You still don't know something. To talk about this eighth lady, we have to start from more than ten years ago. At that time, there was a wealthy family named Zhuang in this city. The farmer was also considered a big man in this area.

He is a famous big shot. He has three wives and eight daughters in his family, but no male son. The most handsome among the eight daughters is the youngest daughter. This youngest daughter's name is Zhuang Dongmei, and she is the eighth miss!"

Hearing this, Liu Ping nodded and then asked: "Then what relationship does this eighth lady of the banker have with Zhu Fangshu? Why did she want to harm him?"

Xu Yunde shook his head and said: "I was still young back then and didn't know much about this matter. I only knew that the eighth young lady died mysteriously for unknown reasons more than ten years ago. I heard from the old people that the eighth young lady was really pretty.

It’s so extraordinary that over time, everyone started calling the alley where she lived in the past “Eight Miss Alley.”

Liu Ping thought to herself: "How handsome is this eighth lady? She actually made others name the alley after her..."

Xu Yunde took a few puffs of dry cigarette, and then continued: "If the rumors are true, and the person named Zhu was indeed killed by the eighth lady, I think this matter may be a bit strange, and it may involve something more than ten years ago.

The old things are coming!"

Liu Ping nodded, thinking that if the cause of death of Zhu was unclear, then Xu Daliang would probably not give up, so she asked: "I wonder if the eighth young lady still has family or relatives?"

"Yes, not far from Liu's house, there lives an old woman named Zhuang. It is said that she is the second sister of Miss Eight. Maybe she can know something." Xu Yunde replied.

When Liu Ping heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then let's go find her and ask her."

Xu Yunde nodded and took Liu Ping to the old woman's house in the village. Although the village was very prosperous and wealthy at that time, after more than ten years, the family's financial situation has declined because there are no men in the family and the daughters have married off.

After they went out, the house was empty. After the village master died, they divided the family property, and even the old house was sold and shared equally. The husband of the old woman in the village, who ate, drank, whored and gambled, all he had was the family property.

He was soon defeated, and after his death, only the old woman and her son and daughter were left.

Arriving at Mrs. Zhuang's house, Xu Yunde knocked on the door. After a while, a young man pushed the door open and saw Xu Yunde coming with a handsome woman. He hurriedly said: "Old Xu! Why is it you?

, I don’t know who this is..."

The man was actually familiar with Xu Yunde. Xu Yunde smiled and said: "Xiaohu, this is the young mistress of the Sun family in Yigou Village, and she is also my distant cousin. Didn't Zhu Fangshu die yesterday? There are rumors outside that he asked the eighth lady to do it."

Even though I lost my life, I thought that I had some friendship with my father before, so I wanted to ask Aunt Zhuang, what exactly happened between Zhu Fangshu and the eighth lady?"

The little tiger's real name was Zhou Hu, and he was the son of Mrs. Zhuang. After hearing the purpose of Xu Yunde and Liu Ping's visit, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, to be honest, my mother also heard about this yesterday. I saw her

To this day, I have been restless, and when I asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head, and at the moment I didn’t know what to do.”

Liu Ping thought to herself that it seemed that Mrs. Zhuang did know something, so she said, "Brother Zhou, can we meet Mrs. Zhuang?"

Zhou Hu nodded and said: "Okay, my mother is in the house, please come in with me."

Following Xiaohu, the two of them came to the house and saw an old woman holding a big tea cup, her eyes staring at the ground in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. Xiaohu said: "Mom, Brother Zhou and her cousin are here to see you.

Already."

The old lady Zhuang slowly raised her eyes, looked at Liu Ping, and said: "What a pretty girl." Then she turned to Xu Yunde. Unexpectedly, when he saw Xu Yunde, his eyes suddenly changed, and he stood up and went to

He took two steps forward, stared straight into Xu Yunde's face and said, "Your surname is Xu? Is your father Xu Daliang?"

Xu Yunde never thought that Mrs. Zhuang would recognize his father, so he nodded and said: "Yes, Xu Daliang is indeed my father. Do you recognize him, Mrs. Zhuang?"

"Your father...where is your father now?" Mrs. Zhuang asked in a trembling voice.

Xu Yunde's expression changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "My father passed away fifteen years ago."

When Aunt Zhuang heard this, she was surprised and said: "Ah! Dead... dead?" Then she retreated to the seat and sat down in a depressed manner.

Seeing this, Liu Ping stepped forward and asked: "Aunt Zhuang, I heard people said that Miss Eight was your sister. Now it has been spread in the city that Zhu Fangshu was killed by Miss Eight. Do you know that Miss Eight was your sister?"

What connection did the young lady have with the man named Zhu, and why did she want to take his life?"

Aunt Zhuang looked at Liu Ping and saw that she looked pretty and pleasant. She thought that this girl would be a good daughter-in-law for her, so she stepped forward and took Liu Ping's hand, asked her to sit next to her, and said: "My dear, this girl
