It is a great shame and humiliation to have your skirt lifted up in public.
Old Mrs. Xie glared at Xu Qinghuan, but the other party was obviously not prepared to spare her any face. Although she was old, who knew what those people would do.
Old lady Xie suddenly said: "I said, my injury was caused by a whip."
"It's too late," Xu Qinghuan said, "What you said is true or false. I can't believe it."
Seeing those people approaching, Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she lost her mind: "It's true, I don't dare to tell lies anymore." She clutched her skirt tightly.
This time the shouting was hysterical.
Finally Xu Qinghuan said: "I believe you this time."
Mrs. Xie still didn't dare to relax and looked at Xu Qinghuan tremblingly.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Why do those people whip you?"
Old lady Xie said: "They... they interrogated Yan Niang, fearing that Yan Niang knew something. If it was exposed... we would all suffer. I... I went to see it quietly, but they didn't expect it was me, so... I whipped
Pulled it over."
"What a coincidence," Xu Qinghuan's eyes flickered, "I just hit you on the leg."
Mrs. Xie's face froze: "What I said is the truth."
Xu Qinghuan ignored her and continued: "I have examined Yanniang's injuries and they were all caused by being beaten with fists and feet. If you didn't lie just now, then the situation at that time should be like this...
You heard Yanniang's screams and were curious about what was going on inside, so you took someone to take a peek. The person who was beating Yanniang heard someone approaching, left Yanniang and picked up the whip beside him.
The whip was whipped towards you. He was afraid that the wound would be seen by others, so he specifically hit your leg."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she realized that it was true, but when it came out of Miss Jiang's mouth, it was so strange, as if that person had come to hit her on purpose.
Mrs. Xie subconsciously went to see Cui's mother. Cui's mother was sitting there quietly, her eyes lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Am I right?"
Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she still dared to lie. She nodded subconsciously: "Yes..."
Xu Qinghuan's eyes turned cold and continued: "After you were beaten, you returned home and waited. Not long after, Yan Niang's body was brought back. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you asked the capable people around you to clean Yan Niang.
The corpse was put into a blouse and skirt for burial. You and Xie Yun covered it up like this. Nothing would have happened originally. Unfortunately, Xie Yuan came, and then many things happened to the Xie family. Xie Yun was even imprisoned in the capital. At this time, you became a
A lonely old lady.
But you won't panic, because someone said they would pick you up and leave here.
He will take risks, muddy the waters in Changzhou, and take the opportunity to take you away. That person is none other than your natal brother who lost years ago."
Mrs. Xie's heart was completely cold, and the last trace of luck was gone. The Jiang family knew everything and would definitely not let her go.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Old Mrs. Xie and saw from Old Mrs. Xie's expression that she was right.
"Then the question is," Xu Qinghuan said, "After the White Dragon King found you, what happened to the Xie family?"
Mrs. Xie didn't understand what Xu Qinghuan meant.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "He encouraged Xie Yun to become an enemy of the Zhou Dynasty, and asked you to sell your property and follow him to the Japanese country. He told you that you will enjoy all the glory and wealth after arriving in the Japanese country. If he becomes the king and hegemon in the Japanese country, you will also live a prosperous life.
You lived a prosperous life, but in the end your family was ruined, your daughter-in-law died tragically, your son was imprisoned, and you sold your life savings to get on this small boat."
Mrs. Xie's lips trembled: "What do you want to say?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "I want to know whether your father Zhou Wei's wife and children in the other room were lost when he was fleeing famine, or were they abandoned by you."
Old lady Xie's eyes widened.
Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly: "I already know the result.
You abandoned them at the most critical moment. Not only were you not ashamed or uneasy about it, but when they came to your door, you thought you could use them to get more benefits. Didn't you ever think that they would come back for revenge?
?
Your family will be destroyed, and everything will be under their control. They will live if they want you to live, and die if they want you to die. Just like you now, not only can you not return to the Xie family, but you have also become a sinner of Dazhou."
Mrs. Xie's lips trembled: "No, if it weren't for you, I would have left Dazhou safely."
Xu Qinghuan turned his head and looked at the calm river: "On the day Yan Niang died, that person knew you were outside the window, but he still picked up the whip and swung it out, hitting you on the leg and making you suffer. It can be seen that they started from the beginning
I have never thought of respecting you, not even the White Dragon King’s men do this, not to mention the White Dragon King, who has hated you to death in his heart over the years and has always wanted to make you pay the price.”
Mrs. Xie's face became even more ugly. She was suddenly at a loss. She even began to feel that what she said was right and that they really wanted to take revenge.
Step by step, let her have nothing.
"Giggle." A sneer came from Cui's mother's throat.
Cui's mother slowly raised her head, with a sarcastic look on her face: "Miss Jiang really knows how to say, if this is really the case, why would you come here."
"It's a secret," Xu Qinghuan said, "because I was also fooled. I thought I found out the truth and wanted to kidnap Old Mrs. Xie and use her to blackmail the White Dragon King. Only now do I know that Old Mrs. Xie knows everything.
No, maybe she just came to seduce me."
"Miss," Meng Lingyun stepped forward after hearing this, "Then what should we do? Should we change direction?"
"I'm afraid it's too late to escape now!" Cui's mother looked at Xu Qinghuan fiercely, "You are very smart, but you will eventually fall into our hands. This is the fate of going against the White Dragon King."
Mother Cui looked at Old Mrs.
It feels like having your family broken up and everyone dead.”
Cui's mother laughed loudly after saying this: "Look, the White Dragon King's ship is coming, and none of you can escape."
As soon as Cui's mother finished speaking, the servant outside the boat said: "Miss, there are several boats coming behind us, and they won't leave until they catch up."
Xu Qinghuan smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I guessed it right. Mrs. Xie is the bait, this is a trap, and the purpose is to catch me." As soon as he said this, Cui's mother in the corner suddenly shook her arms, and the clothes on her body
The rope fell to the ground, and then she threw herself out of the window. She fell into the water, as if she was stirring up a wave, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Old Mrs. Xie huddled up, her teeth kept chattering, as if she was extremely cold.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the direction in which Cui's mother disappeared: "Don't worry, everything has just begun."
