Chapter 4 Killing

Xu Qingan has been exonerated, and the Cao family has experienced the world and knows that it is best to leave quietly now.

Xu Qinghuan glanced at Feng Chu who was busy applying rouge in the corner. The show hadn't started yet. How could she let the Cao family go so easily?

Feng Chu held out her double chin and jumped forward tremblingly: "Miss, I'm going to prepare tea for our distinguished guest."

Xu Qinghuan grabbed Aunt Cao's family and said, "We must tell the inside story of this matter clearly. My mother, brother, and I are still kept in the dark."

Aunt Cao was also panicked and glanced outside the house. Mrs. Cao would inevitably come forward now.

The Cao family was very active when they came to ask questions, but they didn't expect that the situation would change in the blink of an eye. Since there was a mistake first, they had to leave an apology.

Missing was Cao Ruwan, the eldest daughter of Cao's family. Mrs. Cao was crying so sadly that she seemed about to collapse at any moment.

Mrs. Xu's second wife, Mrs. Cao, kept comforting Mrs. Cao: "Don't worry, the government will definitely find him."

Qing Huan was deeply impressed by Mrs. Cao. In her previous life, whenever Mrs. Cao appeared, she would tell her brother's evil deeds. She had quick thinking and a eloquent tongue. Later, her brother overturned the case and Mrs. Cao even came to apologize in person and acted out the drama.

Like a fish in water. Although the Cao family has experienced twists and turns, it has also gained advantages. Mr. Cao was dismissed from office by the late emperor, but he re-entered the official position after this time, until he made a mistake while serving as an official in Northern Xinjiang and was caught by Li Xu.

The handle has been disposed of.

When her brother committed the crime so suddenly, she had no chance to prepare. When she came to her senses, everything had settled down, and then the Xu clan intervened, and her father was involved.

These are the past that Qing Huan is familiar with. Even with her eyes closed, she can tell it from beginning to end. However... Qing Huan looked at Mrs. Cao carefully, and some things were different from what she expected.

Mrs. An Yihou looked at Mrs. Cao: "How could you accuse our Brother An so innocently without asking any questions?"

Mr. Cao went to the government office to inquire about the case, and Mrs. Cao became the target of public criticism. Seeing that she could not be fooled, Mrs. Cao had to say: "We were also panicked. When we heard what the servant said, we thought of bringing someone over.

Seeking confirmation..."

As Mrs. Cao spoke, she stood up and apologized to Mrs. Anyihou again and again: "Please forgive us just once."

The Cao family suddenly encountered disaster, and Mrs. Cao looked so sad that no one would pursue it any further.

Ms. Cao was about to say something to her sister-in-law so that she could see her parents off, but unexpectedly, Xu Qinghuan in the corner spoke again.

"You said Sister Cao was kidnapped when she went to offer incense?"

Mrs. Cao couldn't help but frown. Qing Huan was a child who knew the basics of advance and retreat, but today she was in trouble with the Cao family again and again. The two families were in-laws after all, but they were at odds with each other.

Mrs. Cao was slightly startled and then nodded.

Xu Qinghuan continued: "Where are you going to offer incense?"

"Of course... Shangqing Nunnery, my old lady is not feeling well. Sister Wan is a very filial child. She took her servants to the nunnery early in the morning to pray for the old lady."

Xu Qinghuan nodded, lowered his head and rummaged through his body to find a few peace charms: "It happens that our Xu family is familiar with the master of Shangqing'an, so why not send someone to invite the master to come and ask."

"What do you mean by this?" Mrs. Cao's face turned blue, "Do you not believe what we are saying? Although our Cao family is not more noble than the honorary family, it is a scholarly family for generations. Even if the Marquis is here, we cannot humiliate him at will.

us."

"Qing Huan," Mr. Xu Er frowned, "Although the Cao family made mistakes in the first place, they happened for a reason. We can't be so aggressive. It's really disrespectful."

"I am also thinking about the Cao family," Xu Qinghuan stood up and brought a cup of tea to Mrs. Cao, "The Cao family is not an ordinary family. If you want to kidnap Sister Cao, you have to go through careful arrangements and go through many layers of obstacles.

Only the guards can succeed. Losing Sister Cao is already heartbreaking. What if the bad guy is still hiding in the corner of the Cao family... If something happens again, what will happen?"

Mrs. Cao looked at Xu Qinghuan blankly.

Xu Qinghuan continued: "The family is prosperous, but there are also many people with mixed eyes. When you look at the kind people on weekdays, you don't know if they are harboring evil intentions. If you don't check carefully, no one will know which one is a human and which one is a ghost."

Mrs. Cao couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know if she was talking to Xu Qinghuan or to herself: "You said that man is still hiding in our home."

"On weekdays, he is like a shadow. You can't see or touch him. When everyone has gone to bed, he will come out and stand in the corner waiting for the ladies to leave."

After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, he moved his sleeves and swept the tea bowl off the table.

The sound of broken porcelain was like a needle pricking Mrs. Cao's body. Mrs. Cao immediately stood up nervously, with panic written on her face: "Quick, let's go back..."

"Wait a minute!" Xu Qinghuan stopped her again, "Mrs. Cao, why don't you listen to what I have to say."

Xu Qing'an, who had just changed his clothes, heard a clear scolding as soon as he walked into the yard. It was the voice of his sister Xu Qinghuan, and then more than a dozen family members rushed forward and stood outside the house.

Xu Qing'an's hands were frozen on his collar. Just as he was about to step forward, he felt a tightness around his waist as someone grabbed his belt.

Xu Qingan turned his head and saw an ugly smiling face.

Zhou Yue.

Xu Qingan frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Yue patted Xu Qingan on the shoulder: "Aren't you worried that you will be taken away by the government? Where is the Cao family?"

Xu Qingan looked towards the house.

"This situation is wrong," Zhou Yue also saw the clues, "could it be that the Cao family is still entangled."

The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer and strode towards the house.

The atmosphere in the room was as tense as they thought, but what Xu Qingan didn't expect was that the person standing there aggressively was his eldest sister.

There was no smile on Xu Qinghuan's face as she walked towards Mrs. Cao step by step.

"What else do you want to do?" Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, and she asked Mr. Xu Er for help in a panic, "Are you going to attack us in broad daylight?"

"The eldest lady thought wrong," Xu Qinghuan raised her face slightly, "I just want to make it clear. It's true that Sister Cao was lost, but our family was almost destroyed because of it. After all, we are also the victims, don't you think so?

"

Mrs. Cao hasn't spoken yet.

Xu Qinghuan suddenly raised his voice: "Sister Cao was not kidnapped on the Shangxiang Road. She simply disappeared in the Cao family's house, right?"

Mrs. Cao trembled all over: "You... you... what are you talking about?"

"Madam, please think carefully before answering. This is a matter of life and death for Sister Cao. If she is kidnapped on the Shangxiang Road and Sister Cao still has a chance to survive, but is lost in the Cao family compound, then..." At this point, Xu Qinghuan said

After a slight pause, he slowly uttered a few words, "Then there is only a dead end.

It was you, my own mother, who killed her."

Xu Qinghuan's voice was not loud, but it was like the sound of gold and stone in Mrs. Cao's ears, shaking her so much that she could hardly stand.

Xu Qingan and Zhou Yue at the door also watched this scene like two dumb geese.

Zhou Yue seemed to have thought of something: "The other one is dead. So that's what it means. Just like Jiulang said, Miss Cao will not survive."

This inappropriate sound made Qing Huan look over subconsciously.

An extremely familiar face suddenly came into view.

Zhou Yue, the only child of General Zhou, when she saw him, she couldn't help but think of another person.

Li Xu.

In her previous life, when she met Li Xu, it was Zhou Yue who was the matchmaker.

Do some people and some things become unavoidable after all?

Xu Qinghuan's gaze passed across Zhou Yue's face lightly. The cold gaze made Zhou Yue shiver. Why didn't he remember when he offended Miss Xu?
