My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1174 - 1180: The Killer

"Don’t bully Big Niu!"

Zhang Ziwen watched Qiao Duo’er warily, ready to protect her with his life.

Big Niu quickly grabbed Zhang Ziwen, "Don’t be reckless, she is Qiao Duo’er, our benefactor. She had no intention of harming me just now; you must not be fierce to her."

Initially, everyone had advised her to give up, but only Qiao Duo’er supported her and told her how to interact with Zhang Ziwen, which gave her the courage to persevere.

"So you are the Sister Duo’er that Big Niu often talks about; I’m sorry, that was disrespectful."

Zhang Ziwen’s face turned red instantly.

He hung his head like a child who had made a mistake, somewhat at a loss.

Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow, "Not bad, this is what they call ’after bitterness comes the sweet’!"

The current Zhang Ziwen, although a bit stunned, was filled with real affection for Big Niu.

"It seems all is well now."

Big Niu’s tone was somewhat melancholic; she had taken Zhang Ziwen to see quite a few doctors over the past few days, but to little avail.

The doctors all said that the illness was not physical and could not prescribe a cure, leaving it up to his fate.

"Why aren’t you happy?" Zhang Ziwen was very nervous. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Big Niu quickly realized her emotional issue, worrying it might affect Zhang Ziwen adversely.

She hastily said, "By the way, I also brought Almond for you this time. Go and bond with her for a while; I’ll go and post the recruitment notice first."

"He who knows me, Big Niu."

Qiao Duo’er gave a thumbs-up.

Being away from home for so long for the first time, she was really concerned about the situation at home and was eager to find out.

Just as she entered the Embroidery Room, Almond dropped her broom and rushed towards her.

"Madam, I’m so glad to see you. From now on, no matter where you go, I must accompany you!"

Almond said with tearful eyes, as being apart was torturous every day.

Especially when she heard about the mishaps along the way, she was terrified.

Qiao Duo reprimanded, "Aren’t I fine? Stop crying, let’s sit down and talk slowly."

It took a while to console her, but eventually, Almond stopped crying.

"How’s everything at home?"

Almond recounted everything about the home.

The shop and the Embroidery Room were all normal, and the rent was collected.

Everyone’s health was good; Chao Lian and Sister Lan were both expecting and should be having their babies soon.

Initially, the old lady at home would often mention her grandchildren, but then Fat Fat and Fatty brought back a female dog which soon gave birth to puppies. The old lady spent all her days caring for them, and this time she even refused to come to Mansion City.

After listening, Duo’er was overjoyed; it seemed everyone was living better days, and that was good.

"Madam..."

Almond hesitated to speak.

Qiao Duo’er guessed the difficulty Almond was facing, but it was a matter that needed to be dealt with sooner or later.

"Go ahead, I also want to know the result."

Almond nodded, "We have thoroughly investigated it; the day the horse went mad was no accident, but a deliberate arrangement by Qiao Mei’er."

"Is there evidence?"

"Qing Xin almost questioned every horse dealer and pharmacist in White Stone County and confirmed that Qiao Mei’er purchased that kind of medicine."

"I went into her room, and there was a doll hidden in the wardrobe with the Madam’s name and birthday written on the back, and many needles were jabbed into it—it’s a kind of witchcraft."

"People living in the same dormitory said that the night before you all left, Qiao Mei’er went out for about the length of two incenses."

"Others saw Qiao Mei’er often sneaking glances at our house, probably hoping for a misfortune to happen to you. That woman is too malicious!"

All these pieces of evidence pointed to Qiao Mei’er, enough to prove it was her.
