Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C124
When the Madame Song heard him, he couldn’t help but look over, to see Chu Qinghuan standing there with a mocking expression on his face, “Why? “Now that she has been sentenced to death, there’s no telling who she might throw the dirty water on. It might be me or you. Qing Huan, do you think you should still listen to her nonsense?”
Chu Qinghuan heard and laughed faintly. Looking at the unconscious Bai Ling on the ground, she said, “Mother, you’re being too hasty, it’s just that Bai He is just a mere little servant girl who doesn’t have much of an eye for hands, but has the venom of an aconite. I’m afraid that we have to investigate this matter properly, if we just kill him like this, wouldn’t we put our The Backyard of The Prime Minister’S Estate in danger?”
Hearing what was said, Madame Song could not help but glare at her, but did not have anything to refute Chu Qinghuan.
Chu Siyuan nodded his head, “Qing Huan has considered thoroughly. I wonder if sister-in-law has found anything?”
The Madame Chang nodded her head upon hearing this, “There are too many people in Autumn Garden, there are a few wives who know about Bai He and the people in Stone Garden …” When she said the two words “Stone Garden”, Concubine Chen’s expression immediately changed. However, Concubine Liu frowned and continued, “He He He Shi Yuan’s maidservant …”
“Prime Minister, the poison was given to Bai He by me, and I wanted to kill the Bai Niang!” Xin Mei suddenly knelt to the ground and kowtowed twice, causing her forehead to immediately swell a little.
Concubine Chen’s expression changed, as though she could not believe that her servant girl would order someone to poison her, “Xin Mei, you …”
However, Xin Mei didn’t wait for Concubine Chen to say the next word before speaking: “Aunt, this servant has resented Bai Niang for a long time, and even this servant hates you. How can a mere servant girl become an aunt, and this servant, how is a servant girl lacking compared to her? This servant won’t accept it, so I used my aunt’s name to give the poison to Bai He and promised that as long as she killed Bai Niang, I would definitely give her what she wanted. Haha, even I am a servant girl, what do I have to make her become my master? You deserve it! ” Saying that, Xin Mei spat at Bai He with disgust.
Concubine Chen, on the other hand, did not expect her trusted aide to think of him in such a vicious manner and continued to shed tears. “Father, mother, Chang Xi had long felt that this Xin Mei was harboring evil intentions. She had once told his aunt to be on guard, but she hadn’t thought that her heart would soften, and make this lowly servant do such a thing. She had almost caused Bai Niang to lose her life, so this lowly maid must be beaten to death in order to apologize to Bai Niang!”
Chu Changxi was very excited, she even kicked Xin Mei in the chest, causing her to fall to the ground. A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Xin Mei looked at Chu Changxi in disbelief, as if she wanted to say something.
“Prime Minister, everything is unknown to this lowly concubine. Please forgive this servant girl, this lowly concubine will take responsibility for everything!” Concubine Chen suddenly knelt to the ground, scaring Concubine Liu out of her wits, she whispered: “Little sister Chen, why do you have to go through so much trouble?”
With the situation turning sour, Madame Chang could not help but frown, but to see Chu Siyuan say: “You are also confused!” He flicked his sleeves and left.
Madame Chang could not help but be taken aback, but then she smiled slightly. That being the case, even if Prime Minister did not leave, it would be difficult for him to escape from this place.
“Sister-in-law, the matter has been investigated. Since this is your family matter, I shall leave it to you to handle.”
Madame Song didn’t expect Madame Chang to suddenly let this go. She was stunned for a moment before laughing, “This matter is too much for me, my housekeeper. I will definitely punish her properly when we get back. Also, Bai Niang is fair.”
Bai Ling was already in tears, it was as if she did not hear her words.
With just one sentence, it was decided that Bai He and Xin Mei would not be able to see the sunset today.
“Aunt, it’s against human nature for Xin Mei to do such a thing. Mother punished him like this to justify her actions, I hope Aunt won’t misunderstand.” Chu Jinxiu looked to be in a difficult position, but still managed to explain.
Chu Changxi followed behind her. She wanted to speak, but in the end, she looked at Concubine Chen with hatred and left.
Concubine Liu was left behind, as though she was waiting for Chu Qinghuan, “Second Miss, may I borrow a step to speak with you?”
Chu Qinghuan laughed, “I wonder what Aunt wants to say?” Isn’t she still here to give Concubine Liu the chance? Sure enough, she was worried.
No one was around. Concubine Liu bent her knees and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Chu Qinghuan, “Aunt, there’s a child in your stomach, but you have to be careful. Otherwise, if there’s any mistake, I won’t be able to bear this crime.”
Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment. She could only see Chu Qinghuan’s eyes glistened brightly, as if even those eyelashes were mocking her. She could not help but freeze in place.
Thinking about that, Concubine Liu could not help but shiver, “Second Miss, that Qiao’er brat loved to watch the commotion and ran over all by herself. When I heard that she was caught, I wonder how she would be let off.”
Chu Qinghuan’s face revealed a look of astonishment, as though she couldn’t understand the meaning of Concubine Liu’s words, “What does Aunt mean by this? This matter is handled by mother, if you want to know Qiao’er’s whereabouts, aunt should ask mother. ”
Chu Qinghuan easily pushed them off the ground, but Concubine Liu was actually vigilant. Did Second Miss really know what was happening?
“This humble concubine is confused, isn’t she?”
Chu Qinghuan watched with relish, but the Concubine Liu could not hold on much longer under this gaze. Finally, as if she could no longer hold on, she said softly, “I shouldn’t have sent Qiao’er out to disturb the audience, but didn’t Second Wife find out the truth? I hope Second Miss will not bother with this momentary foolishness. ”
“A moment of confusion?” Chu Qinghuan laughed, “I should say that aunt is smarter than others, how can you say that you were confused? If I remember correctly, the Big Sis should have been breathing with the concubine at that time, how come she attacked the Concubine Chen in the end? Aunty sure has good skills. You just sacrificed a little servant girl in exchange for a peaceful life. Qing Huan, you should learn from me. I hope Auntie won’t be stingy. ”
With every word she said, Concubine Liu’s face became even paler, until there was no blood left. If it wasn’t for her tightly holding on to the pillar, she would have already fallen down.
“Second Miss, your servant, I …”
Before she could explain, she didn’t want to hear her explain, “Aunt, it’s true that a smart person can live for a long time, but it depends on how smart she is. Since Bai Ling is my person, it’s best if I throw away any thoughts Aunt had as soon as possible.
It was like falling into an icy cavern!
Concubine Liu sat heavily on the ground, her long nails leaving deep and shallow marks on the bright red pillar.
Seeing Second Miss leave, Mei Xiang immediately looked back to see his own aunt sitting on the ground, her fingers dripping with blood, as if she had lost all feeling.
“Aunt, Aunt, what happened to you?” Mei Xiang anxiously shouted, but no one replied her.
Chu Qinghuan did not walk very far before she stopped, and without turning her head she said: “Come out.”
The woman was stunned for a moment. She turned around to see the Fifth Miss walking out from behind the wall. Her face was now seventy percent pale and she looked flustered.
“Second Elder Sister, was it you who caused Bai Ling’s miscarriage?”
Chu Jinfu looked nervous, as if she was waiting for Chu Qinghuan to answer, but was afraid that the answer would be as terrifying as the one she heard just now.
“It’s her.” Although Bai Ling would not be able to protect that child, the one who made a move in the end was Concubine Liu.
Then why didn’t you expose her back then, Second Elder Sister?
Chu Jinfu was clever, she managed to catch the main point in an instant, even the eyes that were looking at him were questioning, as if they were looking at a distance. However, no matter how smart she was, it was not enough now. How could she stop someone as crafty as him?
“Discover?” Chu Qinghuan laughed, “Father lost two children in a single day? So what if I am exposed? ”
Chu Jinfu was startled, and immediately understood, even if she told her the truth, perhaps father would not have dealt with Concubine Liu, and would have let her off the hook instead. Furthermore, at that time, Chu Changle was still talking to the Cheng En Marquis Palace about marriage, so why would father let the Concubine Liu accompany the death of Bai Ling’s lost child?
“You are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are only afraid of thieves missing. She hid it so well that if it wasn’t for me wanting to fish in troubled waters, even I wouldn’t be able to catch her weakness. Fuer… ” He reached out to pat Chu Jinfu’s shoulder, but she dodged her hand. Chu Qinghuan smiled, then retracted her hand, “It’s cold outside, let’s go back earlier.”
Chu Jinfu stood there, and only after Chu Qinghuan was far away did she say: “Then what about Bai Ling? Second Elder Sister, aren’t you afraid that Bai Ling will die? ” After all, no one knew how much poison or what kind of situation Bai He’s poison would cause.
Chu Qinghuan stopped and smiled slightly, “She was willing to do that.” If she didn’t pull out the nail from beside her, how could she sleep in peace? Even if it was poison, it would still be able to endure it.
Moreover, the poison was just like an aconite, it was far less dangerous than an aconite. In this residence, the only person who could see through it was Yun Jianying. That group of quacks could not tell, but they were just right. With a narrow escape from death, Chu Siyuan had doted on Bai Ling even more.
“Willing?” Chu Jinfu smiled bitterly, so even Xin Mei was willing to take the blame for Master? What a great ‘willingly’, but if there was another choice, who would be so ‘willingly’?
After an unknown period of time, Chu Jinfu felt someone calling for her softly. She raised her head to see that Nanny Lin had a kind face, and looked at her: “Fifth Miss, Old Mistress asks you to go over and have a talk.”
Chu Jinfu looked over, Chu Qinghuan had long disappeared without a trace.
“Miss, weren’t you too …”
“Shut up!” Chu Qinghuan scolded softly, she was so scared that her eyebrows jumped up. When she saw the person in front of her, Chu Qinghuan could not help but smile bitterly, she had forgotten that with Song Chengshu’s abilities, she had probably wanted to listen in on them a long time ago.
“Being able to meet the lady again is truly fated. I wonder if Second Cousin Sister has any opinions towards this elder brother of mine?” Why, do you ignore me even though you know my identity? ”
The corner of Song Chengshu’s eyes flashed with a smile, but in Chu Qinghuan’s eyes, it looked like a poisonous snake was lingering in front of him, and if he wasn’t careful, he would be bitten by that poisonous snake!
“Young Master Song must be joking, my status is low, how would I dare to climb up to the Anping Marquis Palace?”
Song Chengshu seemed to have heard a joke, “Really? If a dignified princess has such a lowly status, I do not know who else would be worthy of the word ‘honored’. ”
“Since Second Young Master Song knows that the princess has an honorable identity and has adopted relatives, isn’t it very rude?”
