When Ye Jiayao saw that Mu Qi was about to burst into flames, but still refused to report Master Wei, she knew that she still had some extravagant hopes, hoping that Master Wei could fulfill his promise to act for Minister Mu and take care of their family.
"Does Madam Qi still expect Mr. Wei to move around for Mr. Mu? I advise you not to count on it. Princess Liuli has secretly sent a message that there is absolutely no possibility of overturning Mr. Mu's case. Mr. Wei's so-called walking around is just Just pretend, you will be the unlucky ones in the end, and they will pat their butts and go back to Jinan."
"If Mrs. Qi doesn't believe it, just ask Mu Qinchu to go to Mr. Wei and say that you are short of money now. It depends on how much he sends you. I guess it won't be more than a hundred taels. He will definitely say that the money is all used for business now. Come on, I really can’t spare any more.”
"If I am right, Mrs. Qi will come find me again." After Ye Jiayao finished speaking, she put down a five hundred tael silver note and bowed to leave.
Mu Qi was deep in thought. Mu Qinchu sent Ye Jiayao back and said, "Mom, the second young lady is right. I won't hide it from you. My son went to the Wei family yesterday when he went to the city to get medicine, and he happened to meet the right person. , they wanted to buy the house, and their son borrowed money from Liujiang. Liujiang said that he was now impoverished, even poorer than us. His son asked his aunt to borrow money, and her aunt said exactly the same thing as the second mistress. In the end, she only gave it to her son. Twenty taels, my son was afraid that his mother would be angry and hurt him, so he didn’t dare to tell his mother.”
Mu Qi was so angry that she coughed again, and Mu Qinchu quickly handed over the water.
Mrs. Mu Qi slowed down and gritted her teeth: "They bullied people too much."
Mu Qinchu said bitterly: "We have treated them with all our heart and soul, but they have caused such misery to our family. Mother, my son cannot swallow this breath. The second young lady is right. If we believe them again, then we will If you suffer a loss, you deserve it.”
Ye Jiayao had been busy all day, and Xia Chunyu was not idle either.
First, he personally interrogated the two people, and the result was very clear. Liuli ordered someone to do it. Liuli picked Lu Xiaotian as Yaoyao's adulterer. He must have been keeping an eye on it for a while. Speaking of which, the few punches he gave Lu Xiaotian were not unjust. Everyone else saw that something was wrong with Lu Xiaotian. Although Lu Xiaotian didn't take any action, it was inappropriate to have such thoughts.
Afterwards, Xiangtao told him everything Yaoyao told them, including that Xiangtao wanted to confess to him, but was stopped by Yaoyao. Yaoyao said that he would definitely think that Xiangtao changed her story because she was instigated by her.
Xia Chunyu felt ashamed for a while. He said angrily to her that day, saying that she figured out this method after thinking about it for a day and a night.
Also, Song Qi did not inform him at all about the meeting between Yaoyao and Lu Xiaotian in the Chamber of Commerce, but someone from Liuli told him. He was so confused at the time that he ignored this link.
In the end, the scene he saw at the Chamber of Commerce was the good deeds done by the followers around Lu Xiaotian. According to Liuli's calculation, when he arrived, the medicine would take effect, and Yaoyao and Lu Xiaotian would have to cook the rice. But it was a mistake. Forget it, he was so anxious that he got there early.
Xia Chunyu was really shocked and broke into a cold sweat. If he was a step late, the consequences would be disastrous.
All the links are connected in series, and a complete and detailed conspiracy emerges. Liuli hated Yaoyao so much and tried so hard to destroy her innocence and make her lose everything.
Xia Chunyu was angry and distressed. No wonder Yaoyao refused to forgive him. He really deserved to die.
He Lianjing took leave today and stayed at the Hou Mansion to see how Xia Chunyu would handle the matter. If he is not satisfied with the handling, he will not give up.
He is now confident as a member of Yaoyao's mother's family.
Seeing Xia Chunyu's painful and self-reproaching look, Helianjing not only didn't feel any better for you, but actually made you even more angry.
"Do you know what Yaoyao looked like when she came to see me yesterday? I have never seen her so helpless. Xia Chunyu, she is your wife, but you let her fall into such a predicament. When she needed it most When someone has a shoulder to lean on, he can only grit his teeth and hold on." He Lianjing criticized unceremoniously.
"You are such a failure as a husband."
Xia Chunyu didn't have any temper after being scolded: "I already regret it to death, otherwise you beat me up, so that I can feel better."
"Bah, my hand hurts when I hit you. I'm still hiding it from my mother and ancestors. If my ancestors find out, I'll see if she doesn't hit you with a dragon-head crutch." Helian Jing said bitterly.
Xia Chunyu was flustered: "You must hide this matter from me, otherwise I will get a few sticks, which is a small thing, but it will be a big deal if I make my ancestor angry."
Helian Jing rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Next time, even if I can't beat you, I will beat you."
Xia Chunyu is so depressed. Originally, Xiaojing was just a little brat. He chased his brother Chunyu all day long, calling Chunyu brother. Now he is openly acting like a brother-in-law, beating you one by one. It really comes true. Words... He has a deep understanding of the fact that one's own faults will lead to death.
"Okay, let's get down to business, how do you plan to deal with Liuli? Although she is my cousin, the bad things she did are really outrageous. I will not protect her. I will do whatever I have to do." He Lianjing said .
Speaking of Liuli, Xia Chunyu had a headache. Liuli had troubled Yaoyao several times, so she tolerated small things. But this time she wanted Yaoyao to die, which was unbearable.
But after all, he still had to look at Chunfeng's face.
Forget it, he couldn't hide this matter even if he wanted to, not to mention he didn't want to hide it either, so just leave it to his mother to have the headache!
You have to give Yaoyao an explanation.
However, he still had a decision. No matter what his mother did, one thing was clear. He would never let Yaoyao and Liuli live under the same roof again. Either he and Yaoyao left the house, or Liuli left.
So Xia Chunyu went to see Youshi.
Youshi is worried about what happened last night. I heard that Jinxuan brought a group of people to Liuli's place to make a fuss last night. Later, Chunfeng stayed in the outer study. This morning, Liuli didn't come to say hello. She was sick, and Jinxuan didn't come, saying she had gone out early in the morning. Mother Sun went to inquire, but no results came out. People on both sides were very tight.
Chunfeng went on duty early in the morning, but Chunyu was at home, but he asked someone to invite him, but he refused to come over because he was busy.
Youshi guessed, could it be related to that rumor
When I was at my wits' end, a servant came to report that the prince was here.
Xia Chunyu and He Lianjing came together. As Yaoyao's natal family, Helianjing had to give Yaoyao an explanation.
"Xiao Jing is here, hurry up and take a seat." Youshi hasn't seen Xiao Jing for a long time. Xiao Jing was not there several times when he went to the palace. Yide said that he is also a busy man now. In the past, Xiao Jing was idle every day, which made her feel uncomfortable. Now, Xiao Jing is too busy every day, and she feels uncomfortable.
Xiao Jing saw Li and said hello before sitting down.
Since there are outsiders here, Youshi doesn't plan to ask about family affairs, and the family scandal will not be exposed to the public. Unexpectedly, Chunyu took the initiative to talk about it, and told it in detail, and Youshi was frightened when he heard it.
"Mother, this is what happened. Jinxuan suffered such a great injustice. My son has an unshirkable responsibility, but the most hateful thing is the person who designed this trap. He asked mother to make the decision and give justice to Jinxuan." Finally, Chunyu Shen said sadly.
Youshi was angry and embarrassed. Now she knew why Xiaojing came here, as Jinxuan's natal family, to seek justice.
"You said Liuli admitted it?" Youshi asked.
Xia Chunyu said: "She admitted it herself last night. My third brother and I both heard it at that time. However, the evidence is conclusive and she cannot deny it."
You thought carefully and said: "Xiao Jing, you go back today to reassure your mother and ancestors. I will give them an explanation."
This matter is not black or white. Liuli's status was special, and she had to consider Chunfeng's feelings.
"With these words from my aunt, this junior will feel relieved." He Lianjing stood up and bowed his hands.
After Xiaojing left, Youshi got up and went to Liuli's residence.
Xiaoya and several maids gathered around the door of the room, trying to persuade her: "Princess, can you please open the door and let the servants go in to serve you..."
"Princess, you haven't eaten anything until now, you should eat as much as possible..."
"Third Young Mistress, please open the door..."
Mother Sun stepped forward and said, "You all get out of the way."
When Xiaoya saw that it was the Madam who was coming, she became even more worried. Could it be that the Madam was here to question the princess
Youshi pushed the door but failed to push it in.
Xiaoya said: "The princess has bolted the door."
Youshi frowned and said, "Mother Sun, call the door."
Mother Sun stepped forward, kowtowed a few times, and said loudly: "Third Young Mistress, Madam is here."
After a while, Youshi was almost impatient and almost asked someone to kick in the door. The door finally opened.
Liuli's hair was disheveled, her face was wet with tears, and she looked very haggard.
Seeing her like this, You sighed secretly, if he had known it, why would he do it in the first place
Youshi asked Xiaoya to fetch water and help Liuli wash up. She didn't want to talk to a disheveled person.
After Liuli tidied up, Youshi sent all the servants out, including Sun's mother, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked alone.
Youshi sighed before she spoke: "Liu Li, tell me, what can I say about you? The most stupid thing for people is to be in trouble with yourself."
Liuli wanted to cry again.
"What do you think you hate about Jinxuan? That she ever embarrassed you? But how many people have you embarrassed? If everyone was as stubborn as you, I'm afraid you would have been dead long ago."
"Do you hate her for marrying Chunyu? Then you shouldn't do it. You proposed to marry Chunfeng yourself. Chunfeng has always been devoted to you. Chunfeng's love for you is definitely no less than that of Chunyu. If you still can’t let go of Xuan’s love, then I really have to doubt your purpose of marrying into our family.”
Youshi asked sadly: "When you did these things, did you ever consider Chunfeng's feelings?"
Liuli's tears fell. To be honest, she tried her best to deal with Jinxuan and never regretted it. But when she saw Chunfeng's desperate eyes last night, she regretted it. She didn't want to lose Chunfeng. In fact, Chunyu was in her heart. It has faded away a long time ago, and what persists is just one breath.
