"Hexiang, Xiaolian, let's go back for a late-night snack."
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If he didn't eat a meal, he would feel hungry. Chu Yunxi had something on his mind, so he didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of dinner. Now his son's stomach was growling.
Xiaolian, who was still feeling aggrieved and angry, became happy when she heard that extra food was being served.
"Well, let's eat enough and then deal with those evil people."
After returning to her yard, He Xiang was no longer so cautious and asked Chu Yunxi:
"Miss, what do you think the master will do with Aunt Liu?"
"She murdered the young lady and His Highness the Crown Prince. What a crime. Of course she must be executed!" Xiao Lian answered angrily.
Chu Yunxi put a piece of pastry into his mouth, chewing it while thinking.
"As for Aunt Liu, if the mess can be cut quickly, everyone will be happy, but I'm afraid something will change midway."
"Miss, don't worry too much. Now that everything is clear, what can happen?"
Xiaolian poured a glass of water for Chu Yunxi and ate some food. It was not advisable to drink tea at night as it would be easy to fall asleep.
Chu Yunxi drank the water without saying a word. Aunt Liu's identity remains a mystery. This is the biggest variable.
I wonder what kind of strength she has hidden behind her back to make Duke Xiao, with his status, willing to join forces with a woman like her.
"I will go back to my father early tomorrow morning. After all, Aunt Liu is my father's concubine. This matter must be decided by my father."
Chu Yunxi wiped her hands. It was almost dawn when she was working hard, and Hexiang and Xiaolian were busy waiting for her to rest.
Even if Chu Yunxi fell asleep, he was not at ease. Chu Xueer, who was standing in the snow garden, had no sleep all night.
Aunt Liu was taken away and never came back. Where was Aunt Liu taken all night? Was it because the secret plot against Chu Yunxi was exposed? Was she just locked up, or was she tortured? Will she be implicated?
she?
As soon as the sky got a little brighter, Chu Xueer went to knock on the door again:
"Open the door. I'm hungry. I want to eat. Are you going to starve me to death? I also want to go to greet my father and mother. Open the door quickly!"
"Second Miss, please calm down for a while. Without the order from the eldest lady, no one will dare to open the door for you even if you shout to break your throat or knock your hands. Breakfast will naturally be brought to you, so stop shouting.
.”
The mother-in-law who was on duty at night was woken up and felt irritable.
"Mommy, please don't go, I'll give you some money and let me see my father."
When Chu Xueer sees that she is too tough, she becomes softer. Who would be in trouble with Yinzi? Who knows that there are really people.
"Second Miss, you'd better keep your money for yourself. I'm afraid I'll have my life to take it, but I won't have my life to spend it."
The scene where the eldest lady established her authority in front of all the servants is still vivid in her mind, and she dare not forget it.
"You old bitch, she, Chu Yunxi, is a young lady, am I not the young lady of the General's Mansion? I want to see my father. My father must not know that you dare to do this to me."
Chu Xueer kicked the door with her foot in hatred. The banging sound made the mother-in-law's head buzz.
"Second young lady, I will tell you the truth. My eldest lady is trying to cheer up Aunt Liu. This is something I have approved. Even if you get in front of me, it will be useless. You should save some strength."
"Impossible, impossible. My father has never treated my aunt badly. How could he ignore her? It must be you who lied to me. It must be."
Chu Xueer stumbled back to the house, not knowing whether she was speaking to others or to herself.
If Aunt Liu falls, she will have no one to rely on in this house, so what hope does she have?
While Chu Xueer was restless, Chu Yunxi had already come to the study and detailed the results of Aunt Liu's interrogation to General Chu.
"Xi'er, do you know what you are talking about? Aunt Liu, even if she has the intention, what ability does she have to make Xiao Guogong cooperate with her?"
General Chu thought this incident was really unbelievable. In his opinion, Aunt Liu was a woman who would only cry when something happened.
"Father, He Xiang and Xiao Lian heard it, and the servants who guarded it also heard it. Aunt Liu and her maid Dong Ling both confessed personally. As for what Aunt Liu is capable of, my daughter still doesn't know. It's better for father to think carefully about her relationship with her.
Was the meeting with Aunt Liu a coincidence or inevitable?"
When General Chu heard what Chu Yunxi said, he remembered that he went to his colleague's house to drink. After getting drunk, by chance, he went into the house of his colleague's sister, who is now Aunt Liu, to rest.
When he woke up, he found Aunt Liu crying next to him. He had ruined an innocent girl after drinking. He regretted it, so he could only shamelessly discuss taking a concubine with his wife.
What's even more coincidental is that at that time, Aunt Liu was pregnant with a child. He could only hurry up to bring her into the mansion, and after Aunt Liu was picked up by him, his colleague's family was sent to another place and the whole family moved.
Aunt Liu has since lost her natal family, and the child in her belly was born prematurely at seven months.
I thought that the child who was born prematurely would not be able to survive, but unexpectedly, the child was very healthy and is now Chu Xueer.
Every time he saw Aunt Liu, he would think of the stupid thing he did at that time. Although he brought Aunt Liu into his house, he never touched her again.
It’s just that the two of them have never been short of each other. They even discussed with his wife and put Chu Xueer’s demerit in her name and raised her as a legitimate daughter.
As for Aunt Liu, she never complained or cried because of his neglect in sex, so he felt even more guilty towards Aunt Liu.
Now his daughter asked him, are these things accidental or inevitable?
If these are not accidental, his drunkenness is not an accident, Aunt Liu's pregnancy is not an accident, premature birth is not an accident, and not resenting his neglect is not an accident.
General Chu's breathing began to become heavy, and his clenched fists began to tremble slightly.
He is not a brainless person. Only because that colleague went to the battlefield with him and even blocked a knife for him, he has no doubt about his character.
General Chu picked up his sword and said, "Xi'er, my father will definitely give you an explanation."
"Bang!" Aunt Liu's door was kicked open.
Aunt Liu was looking at the door warily, but when she saw General Chu coming in with a sword in his hand, she immediately changed her expression to one about to cry.
"Master, I didn't do it. It was the eldest lady who wronged me. She gave me some random medicine that made me lose my mind, so I talked nonsense. Master, I was really wronged."
General Chu said with a sullen face, "I came here to ask you a question."
"What are you talking about?" Aunt Liu was thinking in her heart. General Chu didn't come here to raise troops for Chu Yunxi to question him. What was that about?
"Xue'er, is she my child?"
Aunt Liu's eyes widened leisurely and her pupils trembled, "Master, you, why do you ask this? Xue'er, of course Xue'er is your child!"
If this matter was discovered, her identity would be exposed. Aunt Liu tried her best to adjust her breathing so that General Chu would not notice anything unusual.
"Okay, in that case, you shouldn't mind if Xue'er and I confess our blood." General Chu squinted at Aunt Liu's reaction.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you? Did the eldest lady say something in front of you again? I don't know why the eldest lady did this to me and Xue'er. Not only did she use such vicious poison to extract a confession, but now
Come to instigate the master to deny his own bloodline."
