Hanxiu held the dagger, lowered her eyes and pondered. Her head was slightly lowered, her face was blocked by her hanging hair, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
After a long while, she raised her eyes again and said, "Even if someone wants to harm me, the mistress will make the decision. If the mistress is biased, she should go to the third master. If I go directly to another yamen, how can the Zhao family tolerate me?"
Chu Yunli asked with a smile, "Then do you think the Zhao family can accommodate you now?"
Silent with embroidery.
Just like Chu Yunli said, when Mr. Zhao took her in, he had already planned her future, and he was going to use her life to frame the woman in front of him.
Thinking of this, Hanxiu smiled bitterly, "Am I the one who has benefited from you, or am I being dragged down by you?"
"If you can survive, you will be honored." Chu Yunli picked up the steamer on the ground, "I have told you the method, it is up to you whether you do it or not."
Licorice lay on the ground, "Auntie, the third master didn't ask me to kill you. I originally ordered the slave to kill this woman directly, but I didn't dare. Don't blame the third master. It's all the slave's fault."
Hanxiu was startled, her despairing heart suddenly filled with hope, "Really?"
Licorice nodded, "Don't be deceived by this woman. They killed Young Master Shan. Neither the Master nor the Third Master will let them go!"
Chu Yunli stepped forward and kicked her, "You are forcing me to kill you!"
Licorice was kicked to the ground, her face turned pale in pain, and she couldn't move while stroking her stomach for a long time.
Hanxiu did not reach out to help her, "Licorice, from now on, you can take care of yourself." After saying this, she turned around and left, but in the direction of the Yamen.
It will be easy if she is willing to go to the Yamen.
Early the next morning, Mr. Liu summoned several people from the Zhao family, and later went to Chu Yunli.
"Tell me what happened in front of your shop yesterday."
Chu Yunli told the truth, "That maid originally stabbed me with a knife, but she suddenly turned around for some reason!"
Mr. Zhao is about fifty years old and extremely wealthy. Mrs. Zhao next to him is plump. Both of them are full of wealth and are covered with pearls from top to bottom. The third Mr. Zhao is about twenty years old this year. He is wearing a moon-white gown and has an elegant demeanor.
appearance.
At this time, he spoke in a harsh tone, "Do you dare to swear to God?"
Chu Yunli secretly remembered the looks of several members of the Zhao family and said calmly, "My lord, every word I said is true!"
She also didn't expect that the Zhao family would be like this. Originally, she wanted to wait until Chen Jiqing's marriage was settled before thinking about it. Now it seems that there is no need to delay in cleaning up the Zhao family!
Hanxiu was the one who suffered, and what she said was that the Zhao family was paying her back. Master Liu only came to ask about her situation at that time, not to accuse her.
Licorice knows some kung fu, but Zhao San never expected that Hanxiu could escape unscathed. In his opinion, Yu Fu's own mother was really evil, and everything seemed to go wrong when he encountered her.
At the end of the investigation, the Zhao family handed over a concubine to solve the problem.
To be honest, Chu Yunli was a little disappointed.
Either Mr. Liu and the Zhao family have no suspicion at all, or he has already guessed it, but wants to protect the Zhao family.
The former is okay, but if the latter is possible, Chu Yunli cannot rely on the Yamen if he wants to clean up the Zhao family.
In fact, her methods are becoming more and more gentle now, and she will not do anything herself if someone can do it for her.
This Master Liu is said to be shrewd and shrewd. Even if she takes action, she must take care of the ending, and she cannot get involved with her.
When going out, Chu Yunli was pretending to be worried and ignored the Zhao family.
"Mrs. Yu."
When she heard the call from behind, Chu Yunli didn't look back at all and pretended not to hear. Although it was the first time she met the Zhao family, she really didn't have a good impression of them at all.
"Chen Chunhua!" The young man's voice was filled with deep anger.
Chu Yunli turned around, wondering, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Zhao San?"
Zhao San gritted his teeth, "Don't think you can run away, I will definitely avenge my brother!"
After hearing this, Chu Yunli turned around and planned to have a good talk with him, "How did your brother die? It was robbery! If my son hadn't missed it, he would be in prison now!"
"Strong words!" Mrs. Zhao said with an angry look on her face, "That bitch Hanqing is flirting with others. What a good thing your son can be if he is willing to marry her!"
Chu Yunli laughed angrily, "No matter how affectionate she is, she is still my daughter-in-law. Zhao Wangshan also came here because he liked my daughter-in-law, right?"
"If you want to bully my daughter-in-law, my son will fail after arguing with her." This is in front of the Yamen gate. Chu Yunli is confident. Anyway, the two families are already feuding, and she is not afraid of the Zhao family settling accounts later. "If he
If you don’t come to my house, our family is still fine now, but you Zhao family ruined my family. I don’t have a high status, so I don’t dare to trouble you, but it’s not my turn and you won’t let me go! This time, you will treat me like me again and again.
Stupid?"
Mrs. Zhao sneered, "I don't care about this. Anyway, my son died because of your family."
It's really unreasonable.
Chu Yunli's heart skipped a beat, "You mean, the Zhao family won't let us go?"
Mrs. Zhao sneered and was about to speak, but Mr. Zhao scolded her, "What's your identity? You've been talking to a stupid woman for a long time, and if word spreads, you won't laugh out loud, and you won't even look at the place!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao looked at the yamen door, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Chu Yunli was not angry, but was a little disappointed. It would be better for Mrs. Zhao to put down her harsh words.
Seeing the Zhao family walking away, Chu Yunli turned around, only to see Yu Tongxi running over in a hurry. Seeing that she was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?"
Chu Yunli was suspicious, "Are you worried about me?"
Yu Tongxi nodded, "If you... I can't run away."
This is quite candid.
Chu Yunli was not in the mood to talk to him, so she waved her hands and said, "This time it was indeed directed at me, but I found a way to block it."
After saying that, I no longer had the patience to stand up and leave.
She did not go home, but went directly to the grandmother who bought the yard.
Ya Po was deeply impressed by her and enthusiastically served her tea. She asked with a smile, "I heard that you went to the Yamen again? What is it for this time?"
"The Zhao family wants to frame me for murder!" Chu Yunli took a sip of water, put down the tea cup, took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Ya Po was startled when he heard her answer. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Yin Zi and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Chu Yunli held down the money and said, "Can you find the kind of old man who has been redeemed from the Zhao family in recent years and has been waiting for him for a long time?"
Ya Po's hand that originally stretched out to grab the silver paused, then took it back, holding the handkerchief and shaking her head, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't dare tell you."
Chu Yunli pushed the silver in front of her, took out another ingot and pushed it over, "If you know, these are yours. If you don't know, I will find someone else! Fuzhou City is so big, I don't believe it can't be found.
!”
Ya Po looked confused. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I know!"
Chu Yunli held down the money, "You know why I'm looking for these people, right? You have to make sure that the people you tell me can help me!"
Yapo: "..." Yinzi bit his hand.
She looked at the woman in front of her again. She was dressed in fine cloth, her hair was in a meticulous bun, and there were a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes. However, the perseverance on her face and the clarity in her eyes made it easy for people to ignore her age.
At first glance, she looks like an ordinary woman, but if you take a closer look, you will find that she is very different from ordinary women. She looks more like the wife of a rich family with sharp methods.
Ya Po came back to her senses, "Are you really going to be an enemy of the Zhao family?"
"It's because they won't let me go." Chu Yunli had nothing to hide from Ya Po. "They ruined my family and refused to let me live a peaceful life." This was actually true.
Ya Po did not hesitate for too long and said tentatively, "I heard that Mr. Zhao had a good concubine, a girl from the Fan family in our backstreet. Unfortunately, Miss Fan died in childbirth only a year after entering the house. Fan
My family didn’t even see her for the last time. It is said that... Miss Fan was killed by Mrs. Zhao."
Chu Yunli was thoughtful, with dissatisfaction on his face, "These are just rumors!"
"It's all groundless!" Yapo pushed back the money, "I don't dare to earn this money, you should take it back. If you want to buy a house or someone, you can come to me."
Don't be better.
Chu Yunli collected the money and went home directly.
From that day on, she was never at home except with the stuffing. She went to various teahouses to drink tea, and sat in restaurants for half a day.
These are no secrets. There were people working in teahouses and restaurants in the back streets. Within a few days, the news that Aunt Chen Jiqing was a prodigal spread.
She didn't know it at first, but not long after she came back from the teahouse that evening, she saw Chen Jiqing running over in a hurry, saying hello and walking in without bothering to call, saying, "Auntie, I'm going to hide for a while!"
As soon as the words fell, the person had already slipped into the yard.
Chu Yunli was confused.
Not far away, she saw a girl coming quickly with her skirt in hand. She looked up at the plaque above her head. Then she saw Chu Yunli preparing to enter the house. She looked it over and said, "Are you Brother Chen's aunt who likes to drink tea?
"
Chu Yunli: "..." What a mess, when did she like drinking tea?
The girl smiled and looked at her, "Aunt, people outside say that you are a prodigal, but I don't think who can't have a hobby? If you want to go in the future, just come to me and I'll treat you!"
Chu Yunli: "..." I don't know who you are yet.
"Thank you for your kindness, girl."
The little girl was blessed again, with a smile on her face, "You're welcome, this is what the younger generation should do to respect their elders."
Honor your elders?
Chu Yunli was speechless for a while, then looked at her yard, "You and Ji Qing..."
The little girl's voice was crisp and clear, "It's just like you thought. He was embarrassed and hid in shame."
Chu Yunli: "..." You must have done it the other way around!
