That night, she had gouged out Sun Tingxian's hands and killed him to set the fire, but she had only let Mother Liu go.
As expected, shouldn't he show mercy?
It had been a long time since Chu Qinghuan replied, but Chu Jinfu couldn't help but feel a little scared. Why did she feel that Second Elder Sister's expression was very terrifying and pitiful?
"Second Elder Sister …" Chu Jinfu sighed softly. However, Chu Qinghuan had just recovered from her shock, and immediately understood that she had been too distracted, and had been seen by Chu Jinfu.
"Let's go, seeing how mischievous fifth brother is, I wonder what kind of person Third Brother is."
Chu Jinfu knew that she was intentionally changing the topic, and followed along with Chu Qinghuan's words: "Third Brother, even though people say that Shen Qian is a well-deserved talent, but our Third Brother is actually an elegant gentleman."
As if she had thought of something fun, Chu Jinfu burst out laughing, "But I see Third Brother, he's a complete bookworm, I don't know which family's girl will marry him in the future."
The eldest son of the second house, the third young master Chu Wenchen of Chu Family, the scholar's spirit was not a bookworm either.
Just as the two of them were talking, they heard a loud and clear voice, "I wonder how did brother offend the Fifth Sister's younger sister, to actually have the title of bookworm?"
Raising his head, he saw a green robed scholar standing at the opposite side of the porch. It was unknown how long he had stood there, but he had a faint smile on his face, it was Chu Wenchen.
"Eh, could it be that father didn't take the Third Brother exam? Why are you back so quickly?"
Chu Wenchen laughed, "Uncle, I have some matters to attend to, so I will be returning first. This is second sister. I am here to pay my respects to you. "
Chu Qinghuan bowed, "Greetings Third Brother."
However, Chu Jinfu seemed to not like such formalities. "I had thought that after staying in Jiang-Nan Xiushui for too long, Third Brother would have become a debauchee. Who would have thought that it would still be so unrelenting."
However, Chu Wenchen poked Chu Jinfu on the head and said: "You, you have been by Old Mistress's side for so long; I have treasures there, do you want to come with me to take a look, Fifth Sister? "
Hearing that, Chu Jinfu jumped in joy, but seeing that Chu Qinghuan's mind was wandering, she shook her head: "The treasure will not be able to escape for a while, I will go again in two days, for lunch later, Third Brother will not forget to go."
Chu Jinfu had not finished speaking when the Nanny Zhou came running over frantically, "Second Miss was originally here. Old Mistress and Prime Minister are looking for you because of an urgent matter, so they asked you to come over quickly."
Urgent matter? Could it be about the Mother Liu? Chu Qinghuan frowned, seeing the panic on Nanny Zhou's face, she guessed that this must be the case.
"I will accompany Second Elder Sister …" Chu Jinfu felt that this matter should be related to the Mother Liu that Big Sis mentioned just now. Seeing that Nanny Zhou was actually acting this way, she became worried for Chu Qinghuan, and decided to follow suit no matter what.
"Since I have nothing better to do, why don't I go take a look?" Chu Wenchen's words were light, but Chu Qinghuan was slightly moved. Different from the schemes of the Chu Family, the family of five of the second branch were calm and composed, even to the point of Chu Wenchen feeling a little warm.
However, his words were light, and he had tried to persuade himself before, but to no avail. Now that he said he had nothing better to do, he went to take a look, but he was also determined to help him.
Before they even entered the door, they heard First Madame say: "Old Mistress, Prime Minister, I looked pitifully at Mother Liu and brought her over. In the end, she is still an old man of the Prime Minister's Hall and without a master, her children are not filial. She is just an old woman, it wasn't easy for her to bumpy all the way to the capital city."
Just as they were talking, they saw Chu Qinghuan approaching, the First Madame hurriedly said, "Qing Huan is here. This is the Mother Liu that came from the Sun family in Yunan City, do you still recognize him?"
Chu Qinghuan, however, nodded her head, "It should be Mother Liu. That night, when there was a fire in the house, I escaped this calamity because of getting up at night, and the people in the streets all said that there was such a big fire, so I'm afraid that no one could escape from it. But who would have thought that Mother Liu also escaped this calamity. It's just that at that time, I was still young and I can't remember so many things. "
Mother Liu seemed to have aged quite a bit in these past two years. Hearing that, she kowtowed and said: "It was all thanks to Prime Minister and his blessings that Old Slave managed to escape death."
"Amitabha, Qing Huan and Mother Liu are really lucky. Speaking of which, it's also weird, the Yunan City and Sun family is huge after all, why is there a fire already? On the other hand, Qing Huan and Mother Liu, these two young girls, ran over as if they were singing a play. "
Chu Qinghuan frowned slightly, but that Mother Liu suddenly threw herself in front of him, "Old Mistress, you have to avenge our aunt!"
Old Mistress's expression changed slightly, a smile flashed past First Madame's eyes, but Chu Qinghuan's expression did not change.
"It was poured out by the married daughter, Mother Liu's words, don't tell me you want Grandmother to ask someone to bring the soul of the little aunt?"
Chu Jinfu laughed in ridicule. However, Mother Liu suddenly stood up, pointed at Chu Qinghuan and said: "Old Mistress, Aunt, she was killed by someone! The one who killed is the Second Miss! "
"Crazy old woman, what nonsense are you spouting?" A resounding slap landed on Mother Liu's face, and Chu Jinfu, who could not suppress her anger, was pulled back by Chu Qinghuan.
"What, Mother Liu, what nonsense are you spouting? Bi'er and her husband had clearly died in the sea of fire, so how could they have been murdered? " First Madame's beautiful face paled, while Chu Siyuan's expression turned ugly by the side. On the other hand, Old Mistress sat there calmly, the few beads in her hands slowly rotating.
"Mother Liu, you said that I killed my little aunt? "But you have to show evidence, or else …" She looked around the hall, and in the end, her gaze landed on First Madame, "To frame the Royal Princess, we have to implicate the three Great Clans."
Mother Liu's entire body trembled when she heard this. She looked at First Madame and said, "Second Miss, originally Old Slave would not expose you either. After all, my aunt is harsh and does not treat Old Slave well. A few days ago, you sent assassins to take the life of Old Slave. If it wasn't for me coincidentally going to see my niece, my life would have been unknown. "
"Is that so? Since the killer didn't kill you, then why did the Mother Liu think that it was a killer? "Why do you think that it is my assassins?"
The Mother Liu obviously did not expect Chu Qinghuan to actually be so cunning, and immediately became mute, only opening her mouth to speak, but was unable to say anything for a long while.
"Also, Mother Liu took care of me for a long time back then, so you should be familiar with me. Can you tell me where the rouge mole on Qing Huan's body grew?"
"Here …" Mother Liu looked at First Madame as if she was begging for help, only to see him close his eyes, causing her to immediately become anxious. However, she was unable to say anything, so Chu Qinghuan refused to let her off, "I hope Mother Liu can verify my true body first, and whether or not you are Mother Liu!"
"Nonsense, you just said that this is Mother Liu, why did you suddenly not recognize it? Mother Liu is already old, the look in her eyes are bad, and her memory is also bad. How can she remember that your rouge mole is on her right forearm? "
"Yes, yes. Second Miss's rouge mole is on her right forearm. Old Slave remembers it clearly." "Old Slave has been serving Second Miss since young. How could I not know where Second Miss's rouge mole is? However, what Second Miss had done had truly disheartened him, to the point where she had actually suspected Old Slave's identity. Old Mistress, you know about Old Slave, how can Old Slave be fake? "
Chu Qinghuan was not the least bit nervous, "Mother Liu, are you sure that rouge mole is on my right forearm?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Qinghuan actually asked another question, causing Mother Liu to be a little nervous. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "B-Old Slave is sure."
Chu Qinghuan laughed upon hearing this, "Old Mistress, Father, I don't know who caused Qing Huan to get in my way, but the person in front of me looks just like Mother Liu, but he isn't Mother Liu. I hope that Old Mistress can have my father understand."
Old Mistress still had her eyes closed and did not speak. Seeing this, she could not help but berate: "Qinghuan, are you saying that I have joined hands with Mother Liu to frame you?"
"Qing Huan does not dare, it's just that there is not a single mole on Qing Huan's body. Mother Liu is very clear about this. However, this person said that I have a rouge mole on my right forearm.
First Madame's expression changed when she heard this, and she even blurted out, "Madam, didn't you tell me that there is a rouge mole on Second Miss's arm? How can it not be! "
At that moment, First Madame felt that all the gazes in the hall were gathered on him, and wished that she could kill Mother Liu. "What nonsense are you spouting?
"Mother did say that." Chu Jinfu chuckled: "Didn't you remind Mother Liu just now?"
First Madame did not expect that her own flesh and blood would actually mock him, causing her face to immediately turn pale. This was not enough, Chu Siyuan who had always been silent suddenly spoke, "Is this your home? "Nonsense!"
First Madame never thought that her originally perfect plan would actually fail. Hearing Chu Siyuan's scolding, he became even more distracted, and felt as if his soul had left his body.
"Old Mistress, Father, mother is not to be blamed for this matter. It was Qing Huan's fault. If Qing Huan had dared to save her little aunt, she might have … "Maybe little aunt doesn't know how to …"
Seeing Chu Qinghuan cry, Chu Jinfu's heart turned sour. She immediately consoled, "Second Elder Sister, don't cry anymore. What will you do when your eyes get swollen?"
"Old Mistress, Uncle, in my opinion, this woman should be impersonating. Maybe she wants to force Second Sister to earn some money, why not hit her a few times and send her away."
When Chu Wenchen suddenly opened his mouth, he could not help but sigh in his heart: This is the second house of the Chu Family, a good person, even the First Madame has always looked down on the second house, but the second house's people would never add insult to injury.
"Yeah, Grandmother, look at how old this woman is. Just send her away."
Chu Wenlian's childish voice moved the heart of the Old Mistress. Looking at the soulless First Madame who seemed like a calamity was about to befall her, she nodded, "Since we are framing the second girl, the second girl should be the one to punish her. It's not early anymore, go and instruct the dishes to be served."
"Then, I will first imprison this old woman. Qing Huan will take her leave first."
Nanny Zhou's heart was now in her stomach as she and a few other wives escorted the fake Mother Liu back to the Zilan Courtyard. "I have something to ask her, you all can leave first."
When there were no longer any movements outside the door, Chu Qinghuan personally loosened the bindings on the Mother Liu.
"My dear lady, you've suffered!" Having lost her bindings, the old lady hugged Chu Qinghuan tightly as her entire body trembled, "Old Slave had thought that I would never be able to see Miss again in this lifetime."
