Chu Qingwan held Chu Qingyue's wrist tightly and accurately grasped the acupuncture points, with a cold look in her eyes: "What, do you want to do the same trick again?"
Chu Qingyue's face turned pale with pain. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was saying. She immediately lowered her eyelashes and was about to cry: "Sister, I misunderstood. It was an accident last time. I wouldn't have the guts to give you a hundred."
How dare you do that."
"You'd better be!" Chu Qingwan snorted coldly and shook her away.
Chu Qingyue gasped for air, feeling that her whole arm was numb, and her white and tender wrists were visibly swollen.
Ms. Liu felt extremely distressed. She ordered someone to call a doctor and scolded her: "Chu Qingwan, you have such a vicious heart! She is your sister, how could you do such a cruel thing!"
Chu Qingwan glanced out of the corner of his eyes: "Compared to the days when grandpa was bedridden, this is just the tip of the iceberg."
When the old man heard this, the only trace of compassion in his heart disappeared. He ordered Chu Hua to pick up the baggage and leave the Chu Mansion with his granddaughter.
Mrs. Liu and Chu Qingyue hissed at the back to persuade him to stay, and even said some unpleasant words, but they could not stop him.
On the way, the old man didn't say a word. Chu Qingwan was worried: "Grandpa is still angry?"
The old man didn't say yes or no. He sighed and said, "I just think of some old things."
Chu Qingwan nuzzled towards him and pricked up his ears.
The old man said: "About when Yue'er was ten years old, I accidentally ran into something..."
At that time, a little maid in the house did not take good care of her. Chu Qingyue sent her to the laundry room as a punishment. The maid was not angry and scolded her several times in private.
The words reached Chu Qingyue's ears several times, instantly angering the young lady.
So, she asked the most trustworthy maid around her to secretly go out of the house and buy rat poison, mix it with the little maid's food, and poison her to death by throwing her into the well.
Afterwards, she was uneasy for a few days, and then she ran to Chu Huaian and Mrs. Liu and cried, saying that she liked the purse that the little maid had sewn before, but she couldn't find the person, so she asked if they had sold the person to the house.
Chu Huaian and Liu didn't know the truth, so they sent people to look for it, and finally fished the body out of the well.
The mother-in-law who was in charge of the washing room was so frightened that she was bitten to death by a slip of her foot.
The lives of low-level servants were not pity. Chu Huaian and Liu just had them wrapped in straw mats and buried everywhere, but Chu Qingyue refused.
She cried heartbrokenly while holding the maid's body, blaming herself that she should not have been punished to go to the laundry room, and that she should have paid for the lavish burial with her own money.
From then on, her kind image took root in the hearts of the rest of the Chu family, and over time, she grew into a towering tree.
As a person who knows the inside story, the old man doesn't want to seek justice for the maid, but if he pursues the matter in vain, it will make the matter bigger and bring shame to the entire Chu family.
It sounds unbelievable that a human life is not as important as the reputation of a famous family, but it is the fact.
The old man's eyes fell on nowhere: "Over the years, Yue'er has been unfilial to me, but every time I think about it, I feel like there is a poisonous snake living in my heart, and I can't guard against it."
He was still a child at the age of ten. He killed someone without any remorse. Instead, he used the dead to gain fame for himself. He was so ruthless and scheming that just thinking about it is terrifying.
After hearing this, Chu Qingwan finally understood the reason why the old man didn't like Chu Qingyue.
She originally thought that it was the old lady who noticed her obedience and insincerity, and that a human life was involved in the clinker.
Chu Qingyue would kill her just by scolding her. When the true daughter of the Chu family was found and returned to threaten her status, it was no surprise that she would do anything.
Chu Qingwan pursed her lips, snuggled into the old man's arms and said, "Grandpa's fall should have nothing to do with her."
The old man touched her head and felt very comforted.
He did think of the day of the fall because of Chu Qingyue's actions just now. He knew very well that although Chu Qingyue had something to do with that fall, she was not the one who pushed her.
Seeing that his granddaughter was so angry, he was worried that she would unreasonably blame Chu Qingyue, but fortunately she had a sense of proportion and even comforted him in turn.
The old man sighed slightly, realizing more and more that he had hurt the right person.
