How could he still stick his face close to Second Grandmother's? Other than discussing some matters with Second Grandmother, he did not even want to stay by Second Grandmother's side.

It was as if the Hou Mansion was no longer his real home and had become his tavern.

Occasionally, he would think about it when he was back home before taking a look.

Even his eldest son, Cheng Lianghao, was learning to be bad with him.

Other than frequently staying overnight in flowerbed, there was no other home for him. It was as if he had forgotten about his wife and children, and ignored everything else.

But this also gave Second Grandmother a lot of room to relax, so he didn't need to be afraid that her secret would be discovered.

"Then what about Xiu Wen! Second Grandmother, you have nothing else to say. " The inner chamber's scheming and scheming was too intense. It could easily lead to the death of many people, and it was even so cruel to a young maid. It made people sigh in indignation for those who had died.

Hearing that, Second Grandmother immediately looked towards Xiu Wen.

Xiu Wen, if I had stopped earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this. "

Furthermore, Xiu Wen had also saved her life, she was the young maid that had watched her grow up.

Unfortunately, Eldest Princess said that it was already considered good to spare her life.

It was simply impossible to let her off so easily.

"Is that Xiu Wen's evil scheme really you?" Cheng Guanyue asked seriously.

"No, it's just that this matter was unluckily found out by His Highness Eldest Princess. In order to prevent the reputation of the Hou Mansion from being tarnished, she sent people to take care of the few maids closest to me in different ways. If not for Xiu Wen saving my life, I might not be able to keep her alive and make her into a deaf and mute person who can't even hear or speak. "

Second Grandmother was actually really apologetic towards Xiu Wen, and now that she had revealed the truth, her heart felt a lot more at ease.

"What? Grandmother is actually joining in with you?" Cheng Xiuhuan never thought that Eldest Princess would actually help her mother and cause the death of so many people for the sake of Hou Mansion's reputation.

He really did not expect his grandmother's methods to be so ruthless.

"I didn't lie to you. If it wasn't for your grandmother knowing the truth, I would never have watched them all die and become crippled." Actually, Second Grandmother had been panicking at first. She had wanted to give the servants by her side some money so that they could quickly leave.

How could she have known that Eldest Princess's methods would be many times more ruthless than hers? She had actually killed them all, and if she hadn't used all her strength to cry and begged Eldest Princess to let go of her life, she probably wouldn't have been exposed today.

"Second Grandmother, after saying this much, I just want to ask you, do you really have a confession to my mother? And you've killed so many people. All these years, you've never thought about telling us the truth. " It turned out that she had killed her mother, and her mother looked extremely similar to her. It was no wonder that when Second Grandmother sometimes saw her, she couldn't help but reveal a look of shame or disgust.

Even the Second Madam would occasionally look at her with a hint of fear or guilt in her eyes.

She thought that people didn't like her, so she read and wrote with all her might, far more talented than anyone else.

He had thought that after obtaining the title of the capital's number one genius, they would have a higher opinion of her or perhaps be closer to her.

She didn't know how many years of her mother's resentment was hidden inside.

She was so stupid! She should have known.

"Senhor, I don't dare say. "I don't dare to say." Second Grandmother felt that if she said it out loud, then her good days would come to an end, and even her relatives would leave her for far away.

So she kept it a secret all the way to today.

"It's useless if you don't dare to say it. Second Grandmother, for the sins that you've committed, you will have to repent for the rest of your life and seek to repay Third Aunt's debts in the next life." Cheng Xiuhua said a few words without a trace of sympathy.

Only, Second Grandmother's eyes lit up and nodded: That's right! I need to repent properly for the rest of my life and I have to repay the debt I owe Su Xin with my life. "

However, Xiu Wen looked at Second Grandmother, who was in tears and looking like he was blaming himself, and pulled on Cheng Guan Yue's sleeve, gesturing with her a few times.

Instantly, Cheng Guanyue understood what she meant. She stared at Second Grandmother and said, "Xiu Wen wants to go with you to the Main Hall, because she doesn't know and deserves to be punished."

"Xiu Wen, you …" Second Grandmother looked at her, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, she walked forward and held Xiu Wen's hands. She was so regretful that other than crying, she didn't do anything else.

When the Second Madam saw what Second Grandmother and Xiu Wen had done, she suddenly followed suit and said, "From today onwards, I will be reciting sutras and chanting Buddha without the slightest bit of shame. Third Brother, please forgive me."

Cheng Xiuhuan did not say anything, but his expression was deep enough to not let anyone know what he was thinking.

Xiu Huan, Mother will not beg for your forgiveness. Mother can be considered to have done something wrong and suffered greatly in this lifetime, I admit that. I only hope that you can live well. Second Grandmother could be considered to be completely crippled for the rest of her life.

They could only live poor lives in the shrine, not taking a step out of the hall.

Cheng Xiuhuan listened to his mother's and Second Madam's conversation, and didn't know how to respond.

Of course he couldn't forgive them, so he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that, Second Grandmother did not make things difficult for Cheng Xiuhuan anymore, and directly brought Xiu Wen to pack up her bow, to go to a hall outside the capital to train and repent.

Second Madam also hurried back to her room to copy down the scriptures. From then on, she would not touch any kind of meat. Everything had to be changed from the heart to the good, in order to alleviate the debt in her heart.

On the other hand, Cheng Mingying and Cheng Mingkun were very grateful that Cheng Guanyue had found out the real culprit who killed Wen Suxin, so in the future, they would be more than willing to accept the orders and commands of Cheng Guanyue. As long as she was in need of anything, they would take charge of everything.

However, when King of Qing He found out about this, he immediately brought a group of people to the flowerbed and ruthlessly beat up Cheng Wenqing and Cheng Lianghao.

Furthermore, it was the kind of person who stripped their clothes and used a wooden staff to punish others.

When everyone present saw this, they all thought that King of Qing He was truly angry this time.

Moreover, if he didn't care about Marquis Cheng, he would definitely beat them until they could only lie on the bed, unable to get down and walk.

Who told them to spend so much money in one day, to the point where even his own wife couldn't control him, causing his own niece to die.

He would always remember this grudge in his heart.

He had even angrily went to find Eldest Princess, asking her for an explanation and justice.

"That year when I betrothed my niece to your house, that's how you treated her. You didn't even leave her a chance to live, and you even made her die in such a ridiculous manner."

King of Qing He glared at Eldest Princess who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and chanting.
