But Cheng Yushu still held a trace of luck in her heart.
According to Qiu's mother's status, if she didn't want to speak out, who would dare to torture her and interrogate her?
So Cheng Yushu said: "Aunt, I want to talk to you alone."
Mrs. Chen looked at Fu Zhao. She said nothing, but her expression said everything.
I hope Fu Zhao can have the sense to go out on his own.
Fu Zhao smiled lightly, "Originally, I can go out for this matter, but it concerns the late madam. If there is any inadvertence, and it comes out that my mother covets the late madam's relics... then I'm afraid it won't be good."
Fu Zhao looked at Cheng Yushu, "But since Miss Cheng has spoken, I have to give Miss Cheng some face."
After saying that, Fu Zhao took Liangsui's hand and stood up.
Mrs. Chen quickly stopped her, "They are all members of our family, please sit down. Yushu, what's the matter? Just tell me directly and don't be too pretentious. Where did the jade bracelet on your wrist come from?"
Cheng Yushu gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say, and finally said hesitantly: "I... bought it from outside..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room didn't believe it.
This jade bracelet looks old at first glance. How can anyone make a special trip to buy an old bracelet?
Seeing that Cheng Yushu was too guilty to look at her, Mrs. Chen concluded that Cheng Yushu must be hiding something, and maybe it had something to do with Mother Qiu.
Mrs. Chen was very disappointed.
Cheng Yushu, who had always been honest, actually had other thoughts.
It concerns the Madam, so we have to be careful.
She knew the Marquis very well. Even though the late Madam had been gone for so many years, the Marquis still cared about the First Madam in his heart.
Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by Mother Qiu in the first place.
As long as Mother Qiu moves out the First Lady, the scale in Mr. Hou's mind will be tilted.
Mrs. Chen gave Cheng Yushu a stern look, even if she was her biological niece, she could give up.
After all, Cheng Yushu had already abandoned her as an aunt when she did what she did.
Mrs. Chen asked sternly, "Tell the truth, where did this bracelet come from?"
Cheng Yushu lowered his head in fear and did not dare to say a word.
Mrs. Chen shook her head in disappointment, "In that case, Mother Chen, you can have someone hitch a carriage and take her home."
Cheng Yushu knew she was scared. She knelt down, hugged Mrs. Chen's calf and cried, "Auntie, don't send me back! After I go back, there will be no way to survive! Those people with human faces and animal hearts will definitely take me away."
I sold it! Auntie, you have pity on me!"
"Then tell me, where did this bracelet come from?" Mrs. Chen asked again.
There were tears in Cheng Yushu's eyes, but she couldn't say a word. She was still hesitating whether she should tell her about Mother Qiu.
At this time, Mother Cheng, who was eavesdropping at the door, could no longer listen.
She was worried about Cheng Yushu, so she came over secretly.
Hearing that Mrs. Chen wanted to send Cheng Yushu back, Cheng's mother couldn't bear it any longer and simply barged in.
She shouted: "Madam, this is none of my lady's business. This bracelet was given to her by someone else! Don't send my lady back!"
"Oh, tell me, who gave her the bracelet?" Mrs. Chen asked Cheng's mother.
"Mom!" Cheng Yushu raised his voice with a sharp voice, trying to stop Cheng's mother from talking.
But Cheng's mother was determined, and she would do anything for Cheng Yushu.
Mother Cheng said: "It's Mother Qiu, Mother Qiu from the Prince's courtyard gave it to me."
Mrs. Chen was completely disappointed. She did not expect that Cheng Yushu would really be associated with the person she hated the most.
Fu Zhao picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth, took a sip and covered up the chuckle on his lips.
"Mom!" Cheng Yushu shouted again, but she didn't know what to do now. She could only cry and try to use her crying to arouse Mrs. Chen's compassion for her.
Mrs. Chen's face was gloomy, "Mom, take someone to interrogate Mother Qiu. If she talks hard, use all the punishments. It's all for the sake of Madam. Even if the Marquis comes back and asks, he won't blame her."
With these words from Mrs. Chen, Mother Chen went with peace of mind.
She was also very angry with Mother Qiu back then, and this time, it was finally time to take revenge.
Mother Chen’s steps are particularly brisk.
Cheng Yushu fell to the ground in despair. At this time, she had no choice but to cry.
The things she planned with Mother Qiu must be hidden.
At some point, Fu Zhao walked up to Cheng Yushu.
Fu Zhao squatted down, reached out and held Cheng Yushu's wrist, and said gently: "In that case, it is time for the property to return to its original owner."
After that, Fu Zhao took off the jade bracelet from Cheng Yushu's wrist. Her movements were gentle, but Cheng Yushu still felt a great shame.
Fu Zhao put the jade bracelet in his arms, stood up, leaned towards Mrs. Chen, and said: "Mother, I leave Mother Qiu's affairs to you. I'll go back first."
Mrs. Chen waved her hand tiredly, "You go ahead."
Fu Zhao took Liangsui and left.
In the house, I was the only one left.
Mrs. Chen had to cheer up and said: "Okay, just tell me everything exactly. If there is anything you want to hide, don't recognize me as your aunt."
Cheng Yushu cried until her eyes were red and swollen. After hearing this, she could only tell the truth about her and Qiu's mother.
Mrs. Chen really hated the iron, she slapped Cheng Yushu hard, and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me these words? Instead, you went to cooperate with Mother Qiu? What good ideas can that old guy have? Look,
All the tricks she gave you were despicable. Do you think you can sit back and relax after everything is done? You are so naive."
Mrs. Chen paused and continued angrily: "You are my relative. If you do something shameless like that, others will definitely say that I am out of alignment! At that time, for the sake of the Hou Mansion's face, I will
I will definitely send you away far away! Even if the prince pleads for you, the Marquis will definitely not be able to keep you. The Marquis cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes!"
Cheng Yushu had never thought so much.
These consequences were something she would never have imagined.
What she thought was a sweet dream turned out to be just her fantasy.
She took a few steps on her knees and admitted her mistake from the bottom of her heart, "Aunt, it's all my fault. I will definitely change it in the future. Even if I never marry, it's fine. Please ask Aunt to keep me by your side and serve as a little maid."
of!"
As long as she is not allowed to go home, she can do anything.
But Mrs. Chen looked at Cheng Yushu and shook her head with a heavy face, "If something like this happens, I can't keep you here."

Fu Zhao took Liangsui back to the courtyard, and Si Qi came up to him and said softly: "The prince is back from sword practice."
Fu Zhao nodded slightly and continued walking inside.
