"Mother Liu." Chu Qinghuan said softly, but it caused Mother Liu to cry, "I am an old woman, there is nothing wrong with suffering, but Miss, why do you have such a hard time? "You clearly …"
Chu Qinghuan did not expect the First Madame to suspect him of investigating the cause of death of her Yunan City, Chu Ning Bi and Sun Tingxian.
When she found out about this from Nanny Luo, she planned to have the fake Mother Liu follow the people of First Madame back to frame her, and then have the real Mother Liu come on stage to prove her innocence and expose the plot of the First Madame.
But if he exposed himself too much, Ji Fengye might be involved. After all, it was impossible for a real Mother Liu to appear out of nowhere. At that time, if Chu Siyuan wanted to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out a little about it.
Furthermore, since he was the one in charge of the rear residence's matter, if he made such a claim that it was a fake Mother Liu, he would probably be suspected by the Old Mistress as well. This was basically his doing, and it wouldn't be good.
Moreover, since the Madame Chang had returned, why not let him take things step by step. Let the First Madame lose the trust of the Old Mistress and Chu Siyuan, and slowly take everything from her hands, wouldn't that be better?
Chu Jinxiu thought that she had control over the entire situation, but she didn't expect that she had already changed the direction of the chess game.
Now, with this farce over, Chu Jinxiu should be angry from embarrassment, right?
Mother Liu rest assured, they won't be able to scheme against me, but they will have to suffer a grievance. I have already arranged this for you, someone will bring you to Jiang-Nan town later on, and that place is full of beautiful scenery, suitable for the elderly. My brothers and sisters have also gone there, so when Mother Liu arrives, you don't have to worry about them anymore.
Mother Liu suddenly thought of a burst of guilt, "It's all because of me."
If her son was not a gambler, how could he have been caught by the First Madame and even threaten to frame her miss? It is one thing for xiaojie to not mind them, but to even arrange everything properly for them is truly a difficult task.
Chu Qinghuan laughed, "Mother, where are you saying this? It's getting late, I will be leaving first."
Outside the courtyard, the Nanny Zhou was waiting. Chu Qinghuan looked inside the house and said, "Nanny Zhou, hit her five times and throw her five taels of silver. I'm already old, so there's no need to go to court for my life.
Nanny Zhou was startled for a moment, then nodded: "This servant understands." There were some hidden meanings behind Second Miss's words, but she was able to understand them clearly.
The First Madame was heartless, if he succeeded in framing her and made her bear a life threatening crime, her entire life would be considered to be over. If the framing did not work, then the young miss would be infuriated. She would give this old thing a good beating, but it would also cost her half her life. Who knows, there might even be a lawsuit against her. Even if she wasn't a good person, she still had Miss Scoundrel's reputation.
Truly a good measure. Since that was the case, she had to think carefully about how to spread the word of her young mistress …
In front of the Pear Fragrance Garden door, he saw Chu Jinxiu standing there from afar. The corners of Chu Qinghuan's lips involuntarily curled upwards.
"Big Sis, could it be that you're waiting for me?"
Chu Jinxiu was thoroughly enraged, she did not expect that after clearly arranging everything this time, a flaw actually appeared in the end that caused Chu Qinghuan to escape.
It would be great if Chu Qinghuan were to bear the burden of a life and death lawsuit." So what if she was a princess? She was still a heartless, unfilial, and unfilial daughter who carried a bad reputation. Who would spare a glance for her?
However, such a good plan had actually been defeated!
"Chu Qinghuan, don't be complacent!"
"Big sister, I've never been proud." Because I haven't seen you die yet, how can I be so proud of myself?
"Now, this is just the beginning. I'm not in a hurry …"
Chu Jinxiu's beautiful face paled when she heard that. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her palm, but a long fingernail had pierced into the skin and flesh of her palm. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet as she walked in.
Because the second room had returned, it was rare for Chu Siyuan to appear at the banquet. Beside him sat Chu Wenchen and Chu Wenzhang, and even the person who had stayed out for the past few days, Chu Wenjin, had appeared in the dining hall.
In the male and female seats, Chu Wenzhang curled his lips in annoyance when he saw Chu Qinghuan, but he still sat there without daring to move.
Chu Jinxiu was the slowest to take a seat. Although Chu Siyuan did not say anything, his eyes revealed dissatisfaction, "Let's start the meal." Although Chu Siyuan requested Old Mistress to explain many things, he was still the fully deserving master of the residence.
Now that the two houses had returned, even though Old Mistress and the Madame Chang were blood related, she would not personally take care of them.
However, before he could even move his chopsticks, a clamor came from outside the courtyard, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, save my aunt!"
Chu Siyuan frowned slightly. However, Old Mistress didn't seem to be able to hear anything after she had grown old, and started to eat without a care. Chu Qinghuan picked up a piece of sweet and sour cream, and when he saw that First Madame's face was somewhat similar to his spine, he couldn't help but to curl his lips.
frowned. Old Mistress seemed to have heard him and asked: "Why are you making such a ruckus, as if it's the new year?"
Old Mistress never gave his daughter-in-law any rules, so First Madame and Madame Chang sat by her side. Obviously, First Madame didn't want Old Mistress to interfere in this matter, so she quickly got up and said, "I'll go take a look." However, just as she stood up, the servant girl who was loudly crying for help had rushed in and knelt down with a 'putong' sound. "Prime Minister, my aunt is in trouble, I'm afraid I can't keep the child in my stomach anymore. I beg Prime Minister to save my Aunt!"
Because Bai Ling and Concubine Liu were pregnant, the two of them were not going to wait upon them in the future. Concubine Chen, who was standing behind the First Madame, could not help but be shocked when she saw the newcomer: "Isn't this Bai He?"
First Madame immediately turned around and glared at her, "Nanny Zhao, aren't you going to fork out this disorderly servant girl for me? Go and see what's wrong with Bai Niang and settle the matter. Don't disturb the celebration of Second Wife's return home. "
Seeing Nanny Zhao walk over, Bai He kneeled down and moved towards Chu Siyuan, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please save my Aunt, the thing in her stomach is your flesh and blood!"
Chu Siyuan finally could not sit still any longer, stood up and said: "I'll go over to check what's going on over there."
Old Mistress's expression was normal, but First Madame stood there in a daze, and only when Madame Chang helped her to sit down did she come back to her senses, "In the end, she is still an innocent child. If sister-in-law is worried, why don't we go take a look?"
If it wasn't for the presence of Old Mistress, Chu Qinghuan felt that she would have already attacked. Anyone who was poked on the spine would not be able to resist and would need to retaliate.
Although it did not seem like Madame Chang was doing this on purpose, she was not very worried.
"There's no need, Prime Minister is already gone, why should I … It's a joke for your little sister. It's better for you to quickly sit down and eat. "
Madame Chang did not know the cause and effect, so she did not mention it again when she saw that First Madame was not in the mood. After eating, he went back to the Dawn Garden to clean up, after all, their second branch had been away from the capital for many years.
"Qing Huan, go and take a look with Fuer, to see how Bai Niang is doing."
Logically speaking, Chu Qinghuan and Chu Jinfu were unmarried ladies and they weren't blood related to each other. So no matter what, it was not their turn to visit Bai Ling. However, the two of them were smart, they obediently got up, but were stopped by the First Madame, "Old Mistress, let's go get a wife."
When Bai He was making a ruckus outside just now, she should have gone out immediately to settle this matter. However, when things went on to the end, it was Chu Siyuan who went to the Autumn Garden to visit Bai Ling, the little b * tch.
First Madame was confused at the time, but now she was covered in cold sweat after waking up. She left without waiting for Old Mistress's consent.
"Let's go take a look." Seeing that the Old Mistress didn't have any intentions of denying it, Chu Qinghuan brought Chu Jinfu and walked towards the Qiu Yi Garden where Bai Ling lived. However, just as they reached the door, they heard the sound of shattering porcelain from inside.
Chu Qinghuan only felt the back of his hand tighten, but she realized that Chu Jinfu was holding onto herself tightly, as a hint of fear appeared in her eyes. Chu Qinghuan lightly patted the back of her hand, just as she was about to say let's go back, there was a cry.
"Prime Minister, Ling'er is useless. He was unable to protect our child, and instead of living in this world, he might as well go with my child!"
When Chu Qinghuan heard this, the corner of her mouth hooked up. She didn't know that Bai Ling was actually like a person who had only come out from a painting.
Sure enough, upon hearing that, Chu Siyuan suddenly stood up, "Song Xiangyun, explain to me, what happened to the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution!"
Chu Qinghuan looked down and saw a white porcelain bowl on the ground.
Madame Song was stunned, "This, this is what she takes everyday, close me... Could it be that you suspect that I did something to it? "
Chu Siyuan sneered, "Is there a need to doubt? "Other than you, who else could be so good as to cause trouble? Could it be that she could put red flowers in the birth control pill herself and get rid of this child?!"
Madame Song's face immediately became deathly pale. She didn't think that Chu Siyuan would actually say such a thing, and actually couldn't react for a moment, and only started laughing after a long while. "Chu Siyuan, Chu Siyuan, you're right.
"Father, mother didn't do this. Don't listen to her nonsense." Chu Jinxiu immediately went to stop him, but Madame Song pushed him away.
"I did it, yes, I did it. I want her to never have children! "Why should I, who have worked so hard for half my life for this family, still bear such a vexation!"
Hearing that, Chu Siyuan's expression changed, but Madame Song seemed to be unhappy, "Moreover, I just gave a mere red flower to you …"
"Pah!"
Chu Siyuan looked at the person who fell to the ground as a stern look flashed across his eyes, "Lock her in the Ancestral Hall for me, release her half a month later!"
Madame Song seemed to have been scared silly, she didn't even have a chance to resist, but when Chu Jinxiu heard him, she suddenly kneeled down on the ground, "Father, even if mother has thousands of mistakes, it shouldn't have happened like this! Moreover, the marriage in Second Brother has not yet been settled, please be merciful father! "
If it was in the past, Chu Siyuan would definitely console himself with the precious pearl in his palm, but seeing that his concubine on the bed was in pain worse than dying, he did not have any intentions of comforting Chu Jinxiu at all.
"Can't you set up a marriage for your Second Brother?"
"Father, think twice. It's already winter, and the new year is about to arrive. Which of the affairs in this house doesn't require the effort of mother?" You really cannot leave your mother at home! "
Chu Qinghuan almost wanted to laugh. She really could not understand whether Chu Jinxiu was smart or stupid. Using this matter to threaten Chu Siyuan and not lock him up in the Ancestral Hall was considered good luck.
Sure enough, upon hearing that, Chu Siyuan's expression became even more impatient, "Could it be that my Prime Minister's Mansion will be a year away from her? Qing Huan, when we get back, you, your aunt and Concubine Liu will take care of the matters in the backyard. Take good care of your aunt, if there's anything wrong with her, I'll beat you up for it. "
