"What collusion? They were my uncle's men. My uncle sent many men here early on to protect me. Duke Qi thought I knew nothing, but I actually knew it a long time ago. The men my uncle sent told me everything a long time ago."
Madam Liu sneered.
He was equally disdainful of the old Duke, "Everything he has now belongs to my father. If my father hadn't died, he wouldn't have been Duke of Qi. He owes me and our family. Using a daughter in exchange is too cheap for him. Even if that daughter dies a hundred times, it's what she deserves."
"Xiao Yue clan?"
"Yes, it is Xiao Yue clan. When talking about Xiao Yue clan, it should be Xiao Qi clan. I am the legitimate daughter of the first wife of Duke Qi's mansion, and she is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of Duke Qi's mansion. But her father was so stupid that he wanted to exchange her for me. So I became the eldest legitimate daughter of Duke Qi's mansion, and she is just a daughter of a Jiangnan scholar family who cannot be seen by others."
Madam Liu laughed even more happily. The figure of Xiao Yue seemed to appear in front of her eyes. She hated that woman at first sight, and she hated her deeply even before she saw her.
That was a woman she could never tolerate. Her existence repeatedly reminded Madam Liu of the falsity of her background and everything she might be exposed to.
That woman cannot be left behind, not only her but also her daughter. She must forcefully erase all traces of Xiao Yue's existence and wipe that woman out from everyone's mind.
If it weren't for the secret help of the small Yu family, how could there be those medicinal powders that could weaken the Xiao Yue family? Those were medicinal powders from the Northern Frontier.
Originally, the plan was for Xiao Yue to have two deaths during childbirth, but unexpectedly her daughter was lucky enough. However, only now did we know that she gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of this son is now unknown.
The Princess of England is not Xiao Yue's daughter. Thinking about this, Xiao Yue's presence becomes less and less.
Thinking of the proud part, a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face, and his expression suddenly calmed down, and he even smiled: "What do you think of Liu Borui? Do you want to help me help our daughter and grandson get high positions? From now on, I will also allow you to enjoy the good life with me, so that you will no longer be so depressed. With the support of Northern Xinjiang, we will have everything we want in the future."
"Look at you. Without me as your backer, you can't even keep your position as a minister. Now you have become a doctor in the Ministry of Works. With your status, I would never have taken a fancy to you in the past. But since you are the biological father of the Crown Princess, I can still protect you, at least for the Crown Princess's sake."
Mrs. Liu felt that she was already very generous. She really did it for the sake of her daughter. Otherwise, who would care about Liu Borui
When her daughter becomes the queen or queen mother, and her grandson becomes the crown prince or emperor, she can have any man she wants. Until now, she has never been interested in Liu Borui.
Although these words were not spoken, the contempt in his eyes and on his face was clearly expressed.
Lord Liu suddenly laughed: "Qi Xiejiao, do you know what you are in my eyes?"
"What?" Madam Liu asked subconsciously, not understanding what Liu Borui meant by saying this at this time. The pride and smile on her face gradually faded.
"He's a worthless dog, a lowly lunatic, but he thinks he's of noble blood." Lord Liu squatted down in front of Madam Liu, looking a little indecent.
But he just squatted there, his eyes flashing with a bit of sinisterness, and his voice was dark and seemed like a different person than usual: "Qi Xiejiao, a lunatic like you should have died long ago. Duke Qi's Mansion couldn't kill you, but I can. Don't you always want to die? Not only did you flirt with people from Northern Frontier, but you also found an uncle from Northern Frontier who was also plotting treason."
Lord Liu grabbed Madam Liu's slender neck as she stared at him in horror.
Madam Liu struggled in pain and reached out to grab Lord Liu's hand, but she was helpless. She was a woman who had been recuperating from her illness, so how could she be a match for Lord Liu
She struggled hard and was in great pain, but it was just a weak struggle!
"I can't tolerate you, and neither can the Crown Princess. The people of Northern Frontier who die will not be a burden to others."
"Mrs. Liu is dead?" Mo Ying was not surprised when he heard the news. He put down the kettle in his hand, took the wet wipes from Yuxiu's hand, wiped it clean, with an undisguised smile on the corner of his lips.
"It is said that he died of a sudden illness. The people around him did not serve him well enough. A maid and a woman died directly in front of the door." An Dong just came back after inquiring about the news. He was the one who was in charge of the affairs of the Liu Mansion before.
That maid and the old woman should also be Madam Liu's people.
This woman had been hiding in a dark corner, like a poisonous snake, waiting for her chance to strike. She had her back against the Duke of Qi's mansion and her hands on the Shangshu Liu's mansion.
Now the venomous snake is finally dead, and died at the hands of her own daughter. I wonder if Madam Liu in her grave still feels that everything was owed to her by others.
"Prepare the incense table. I want to pay my respects to my mother!" Mo Ying ordered, lifting up her skirt and walking back.
Things like incense and candles were prepared early on, and she estimated that they would be ready within these two days, but she didn't expect that time would pass so quickly, faster than she had imagined.
It can be seen that no one can tolerate Madam Liu's current state.
Not only Lord Liu, but also Liu Jingyu
Kneeling in front of Xiao Yue's spirit, Mo Ying lit the paper money in his hand and prayed silently to his mother in heaven.
This is my mother's grudge, that woman. Everyone is unwilling to punish her for one reason or another, so let her do it.
She won't let her mother's blood be shed in vain!
She has always been a person who seeks revenge when there is revenge and injustice when there is injustice. She is not willing to compromise so much.
"Where is the princess?" Pei Yuanjun's clear voice came from outside the door.
"The princess is paying homage to Madam Yue." Yuxiu's voice.
Mo Ying burned the last piece of paper money in his hand and walked out slowly.
Sure enough, it was Pei Yuanjun who was waiting outside the door. He had just returned from outside and was still wearing his business clothes. When he saw her coming out of the small ancestral hall, he took two steps forward and reached out to hold her hand.
Several servants hurriedly lowered their heads and stepped aside.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she looked strange, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes, Pei Yuanjun asked gently, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Mrs. Liu is dead." Mo Ying looked at Pei Yuanjun quietly.
Pei Yuanjun smiled, took her a few steps, and then said to her: "She died, isn't it normal?"
"Why don't you ask how she died?" Mo Ying asked after hesitating.
"If a person like her doesn't die now, she will also die in my eyes in the future. She has always been a dead person, a dead person who has died a long time ago and doesn't even know it." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
Mo Ying was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked seriously, "What was her way of death?"
"Do you remember the blood jade that the old Duke gave you?" Pei Yuanjun knew that she was a little upset, so he pulled her forward and raised his handsome eyes slightly, not caring much.
How could Mo Ying not know that piece of blood jade was similar to the blood jade bracelet
"Was that thing done by Madam Liu?"
"She is a woman who thinks she has calculated everything for the Duke of Qi's Mansion and that the old Duke will not be able to do anything to her, but she has never thought about the old Duke's loyalty to the Great Zhou. Even though the old Duke feels sorry for his daughter and his elder brother, he will not be confused when it comes to national affairs."
Pei Yuanjun smiled.
Mo Ying's heart skipped a beat. He understood many things at once and lowered his head involuntarily.
Pei Yuanjun reached out and touched the top of her head, and with a smile he calmed her troubled mind: "This matter is over. As for what happens next, it is not up to us."
Of course, you can watch it if you want, but Pei Yuanjun feels that there is no need for Mo Ying to intervene in this matter now.
Mrs. Liu's death was unexpected, so unexpected that no one could have expected it.
Who could have thought that Mrs. Liu, who was said to be getting better, would suddenly fall ill.
Many people are doubting
But even if there are doubts, so what? We are all outsiders. No one in the real family will doubt us.
Everyone looked at the statement of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but since the news of Madam Liu's sudden death came out, the Duke of Qi's Mansion had no movement or response.
The gates of the Duke of Qi's Mansion were tightly closed. Not to mention the master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, even the servants seldom came out. There was no place to ask if one wanted to find out anything. It seemed that the Duke of Qi's Mansion had no doubts about Madam Liu's death and did not intend to make any move.
It was said that the two families had severed their relationship. Before, everyone thought that it was not necessarily the case. It was just that the old Duke and his wife were angry with their daughter. How much hatred could children have? The anger would be gone after some time. How could they really have severed their relationship like that
But now it seems that the two families are really planning to break off the relationship
When Liu Jingyu received the news, he just let out a low cry, then fell down and fainted.
When Pei Luoan heard the news, he hurriedly asked the imperial physician to come and treat Liu Jingyu. Madam Liu's affairs were beyond his expectations. That lady was once the most famous noble lady in the capital. Even his mother praised her highly. Half of his marriage with Liu Jingyu was facilitated by this lady.
After all, Liu Jingyu and Pei Yusheng were about to get married at that time. If something unexpected happened to his marriage and Ji Hanyue died, there would be no way he and Liu Jingyu would be together.
But this scene now made him deeply frustrated.
Madam Liu was obviously a capable person with a good background. Her death is not a good thing for the Prince's Mansion.
After sitting in the study for a long time with a frown on his brow, he asked someone to invite Master Yuanhe.
