Shi Chunfen came back from the Weng family, feeling very happy along the way. After being married to Chu Ling for so long, this was the first time she had really accomplished something for him, and she had done it without his help.
, how could this make her not feel happy?
It's a pity that Chu Ling is still in confinement, otherwise the couple could celebrate together, which would definitely be a different experience.
The carriage drove back to Chu's house. As soon as Shichunfen got off the bus, she saw Grandma Qing standing at the door of Chu's house, seemingly waiting for her to come back. She thought it was the old lady who was anxious to know the outcome of the Weng family's side, so she didn't think much about it for a while.
"Mother Qing." She nodded and greeted the other party as usual.
Qingji glanced at her and turned his head indifferently, "The old lady is waiting for you in the ancestral hall. Please come over immediately."
Shichun Equinox was stunned for a moment, and his heart quickly sank. What happened again?
She was speechless all the way, and followed Grandma Qing to the ancestral hall. Not only her, but also Li Yan and Sang Pi were confused. Obviously they came back today with good news, but they ended up being so serious, as if they were doing something wrong.
As if something was wrong.
Shi Chunquin walked into the ancestral hall. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a man tied up on the ground. His body was bloody and bloody, and it seemed that he had been tortured. Looking from a distance, she vaguely felt that the man's figure looked familiar, but
Didn't think much about it.
Until she walked to the man, she lowered her head and glanced at the outline of the man's facial features, and her whole body suddenly turned pale with shock, "Second cousin, how could it be you?"
Yu Abao was tied to the ground and had been beaten to the point of losing his human shape. When he heard the sound of the equinox, he reluctantly raised his eyelids and whined at her.
This voice was simply creepy. When Shi Chunfen saw this situation, he couldn't help raising his head and glaring, "What do you mean? Why did you beat my second cousin like this and tie him to the ancestral hall? Did he do something wrong?
?”
Seeing her loud voice and frank attitude, the old lady smiled and said gently: "Equinox, don't worry, let's listen to what other people say first."
After hearing the old lady's words, Shi Chunfen bit her lips and fell silent.
Chu Yan coughed lightly, pointed to the two nuns kneeling in the distance, and said: "Nanny Li, Nanny Wang, you guys say."
The two nuns were old, but their bodies were powerful. At first glance, they were the rough nuns in the mansion. They looked at each other, met the eyes of the equinox, and said hesitantly, "The two of us are going this morning.
I was cleaning the garden at the back door. After a while, I heard the sound of a man whistling from outside the wall. There were many female relatives in the house, and the back door was always strictly guarded and no outsiders were allowed to break in. Therefore, the two of us were careful and kept guard at the back door.
Before leaving. The man whistled for a while. Seeing that there was no movement at the back door, he stuffed a piece of love poetry through the crack in the wall. Seeing that both of us had stolen the goods, we called the servants from the mansion to take it down on the spot. This is how we are now.
scene.”
Needless to say, the man they talked about was the now tied-up Yu Abao. As for the truth of the matter, Shi Chunfen knew with his feet that it couldn't be what they said.
"That's nonsense!" Shi Chunfen said coldly: "My second cousin has never interacted with the female family members in the mansion, so how come he came to Chu's house to send love poems for no reason? Besides, he doesn't even know a few Chinese characters, even if he wants to pursue the family in the mansion.
My young lady would never use such elegant means."
"Who said he is pursuing the young lady in the mansion?" Xue Jinxiu sneered: "His love poem on paper was signed to you, a good cousin."
"What?" Shi Chunfen looked surprised, feeling even more ridiculous in her heart, "That's even more impossible. I'm a married woman. How could my second cousin have such nasty thoughts towards me?"
"What if you two are in love?" Chu Quan said: "Since ancient times, cousins and cousins have been secretly communicating with each other since childhood. Now, of course you are unwilling to admit it."
Shi Chunfen's eyes widened, "Cousin Quan, do you know what you are talking about? After all, I am also your hall sister-in-law, and this is your attitude when talking to me?"
"A hostess who is having an affair with a foreigner, how much better do you want me to treat you?" Chu Quan sneered.
"That's enough!" Chu Yan interrupted unbearably, "The matter hasn't been investigated clearly, how can you just make such rash judgments?"
Although he hates Shi Chun Equinox, she is still his daughter-in-law. If she really does something secretive, he will be disgraced, so he rarely opens his mouth to speak up for Shi Chun Equinox.
He looked at the Spring Equinox and said coldly: "You said this is nonsense, but is there any witness or physical evidence?"
"Haha..." Shi Chunfen laughed angrily on the spot, "You have wrongfully accused me of having an affair with my cousin. Shouldn't it be up to you to provide evidence? Could it be that just based on this so-called love poem, you can conclude that he and I have had an affair for a long time?
?Besides, the whole thing is one-sided from the beginning to the end by the two nuns. You have never asked my cousin, how can you conclude that he is guilty and beat him like this?"
"Who said we didn't ask?" Chu Shun said leisurely: "Before you came, we interrogated him once. He refused to admit it, so he was tortured."
"This is even more ridiculous." Shi Chunfen looked directly at everyone. Although she had been pretending to be calm, her slightly trembling fists easily betrayed her, "If my cousin refuses to admit it, you will torture him.
How is this different from torture?"
"You don't have to quibble anymore." Aunt Liu suddenly stood up, staring at the Equinox, and said calmly: "According to what the concierge said, your cousin came to see you the day before yesterday, and the two of you got on the carriage together, and then we
You went out all afternoon and didn't return home until rumors spread around the city. Do you dare to say that you didn't do anything with him that whole afternoon?"
Shi Chunfen looked at her. She thought Aunt Liu would be more restrained after what happened in Liuzhuang, but she didn't expect that Chu Ling had just been imprisoned and she couldn't wait to kill her. This woman's mind was too quick.
"Of course I haven't done anything." Shi Chunfen said indifferently: "At that time, in addition to my second cousin and I, there was also my cousin Yu Atu. Aunt Liu would never think that my second cousin and I would be in the carriage.
Have an affair in a carriage when there are other people around?"
"If that person is really someone else, it is naturally impossible." Aunt Liu sneered: "But since she is your cousin, who can guarantee that she will not deliberately hide it for you two? Otherwise, there are so many girls in the house, why do you
You didn’t take anyone with you, but you took her into the car? This is enough to prove that you had evil intentions from the beginning, and you specially found someone close to you to cover yourself up!"
