Mr. Shen is not easy to fool.

At this moment, the concierge suddenly came to report: "Old madam, Miss Six, Miss Six is ​​here!"

Upon hearing this, Qian's hand shook and the tea cup on the table fell to the ground.

To be honest, she didn't believe that an eight-year-old child could kill two adults. But Xianglian hadn't been found yet, and no one knew what happened at that time. She could only blame Jiang's mother and daughter first.

.

After passing through the Shen family, she will find a way to make this matter a reality. By then, even if the Jiang family and their daughter come back, they will not be able to argue.

Who would have thought that Chu Xian would come back so quickly!

What's even more shocking is that the child who appeared in front of everyone was in ragged clothes, covered in blood, and his exposed skin was covered with scratches from wild beasts. He looked miserable.

She held on to the wall and limped to the door. When she saw Mrs. Shen sitting in the hall, she cried sadly: "Ancestor..." with tears in her eyes.

The voice was pitiful, thin and choked, like a needle piercing people's hearts.

Mrs. Shen stood up suddenly, looked at her with cloudy eyes, and frowned with concern: "Mother Fang, why don't you take the young lady down to bandage her quickly?"

Aunt Fang came over, but Chu Xian didn't move.

She looked at Mr. Shen eagerly, and as soon as she blinked, tears fell down.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "My aunt is dead, she was eaten by the wolf in the back mountain... After A-Xian, there will be no aunt again..."

The child's suppressed crying made everyone in the hall feel uncomfortable.

Shen's heart had been calm for many years, and she couldn't help but feel compassion. She held the prayer beads, stepped forward quickly, hugged Chu Xian tightly in her arms, and coaxed in a low voice: "Good boy, don't cry. Tell me.

Grandma, what on earth is going on?"

In Xiao Chuxian's memory, this grandmother was not seen very often on weekdays. She only appeared occasionally during New Year's Day.

She knew that no one in this Chu family cared about the truth. All they wanted was the best outcome for themselves.

Ms. Shen is sitting here today, seemingly seeking justice, but what she wants is just to shock Ms. Qian, appease people's hearts, and whitewash peace.

Compared to Chu Feng, who is as precious as a pimple, and the Qian family, who has the support of her natal family, the lives of several lowly servants, an aunt, and a concubine are as insignificant as ants.

Trying to leverage the Qian family is tantamount to wishful thinking.

But she had no choice but to take a gamble.

Chu Xian slowly knelt down, raised her head, and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, someone wants to kill A-Xian..."

Chu Xian fabricated a person who killed Manager Zhu, sneaked into Chu's house, and poisoned Xiang Chun. Xiang Lian protected her and ran to the back hill, but was also killed by that person.

Chu Xian escaped by hiding deep in the forest. At that time, she saw Jiang being bitten to death by a pack of wolves and devoured by wolves.

She later tried her best to escape from the wolf's mouth.

After Chu Xian finished speaking, everyone was stunned, even Shen looked at her with suspicion.

All this seems to be self-evident, but Chu Xian is only an eight-year-old child. Who would go to such great lengths to kill a child?

Almost everyone concluded that she was lying.

Qian couldn't help laughing: "Mom, what am I talking about? This girl has been a liar since she was a child. Who wants to kill her for no reason?"

After saying that, Mr. Qian suddenly covered his mouth.

Because Mrs. Shen was looking at her with a probing and scrutinizing look.

Her face turned pale and she said anxiously: "Mom, you won't doubt me, will you? This is a great injustice. No matter how much I hold a grudge, I can't care about a child."

Chu Xian also waved her hands hurriedly and defended Qian: "Grandma, I am not a eldest lady. The person chasing me is a man with a big mole next to his nose."

Chu Xian thought for a while, then looked embarrassed and said, "That person said that if I die, I won't be in the way of others."

After saying that, he looked at Shen with tears in his eyes: "Grandma, shouldn't I come back?"

Shen's heart ached, and she immediately winked at her confidant, Nanny, then pulled up Chu Xian, rubbed her cold little hands and said, "Good boy, don't talk nonsense, you are the blood of my Chu family, who dares to touch you?

You just can't get along with my old lady!" After saying that, he gave Qian a pointed look.

Qian was furious because the person Chu Xian described was her cousin, Liu Cheng. To put it bluntly, Liu Cheng was a gangster who caused trouble outside every day, all because Qian helped him. At the same time,

, he is also Qian's right-hand man, Liu Chengdu does it cleanly and neatly for anyone Qian wants to get rid of.

Chu Xian said Liu Cheng killed her, doesn't that mean she was behind the scenes?

Yesterday, Liu Cheng was sent to the countryside to collect rent. How could Liu Cheng come to the house to kill Chu Xian?

But Chu Xian didn't say her name, so she had no chance to defend herself.

After a while, Aunt Fang came back. She leaned over and whispered in Shen's ear for a while. Shen's face became worse and worse, and finally she angrily picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at Qian's head.

Smashed it over.

He scolded in a cold voice: "You daring fool! Kneel down!"

Qian couldn't dodge, and her head was hit with blood. Her whole body was wet. She looked at Shen in shock and said in disbelief: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law must die clearly. My daughter-in-law never ordered anyone to kill that girl."

, why do you have to kneel?”

"You..." Mrs. Shen pointed at her, trembling with anger.

Aunt Fang hurried over to help her calm down and said repeatedly: "Old madam, please calm down. This matter is not trivial. Please ask the second master to come back."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "That's right. Hurry up and go to the Yamen to ask for the second master."

Qian didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all. She frowned and said: "Mom, I have been managing the house for decades, and I have worked hard without any merit. Do you really want to embarrass your daughter-in-law in public?"

Shen's eyes were like a knife scratching Shen's face, and she almost laughed angrily: "In the past ten years, look at how many lives have been lost under your hands? Not counting the dirty things in this house now, even

You dare to act arrogantly outside, but now you still have the nerve to argue with me about your hard work?"

She pointed to the door, her eyes filled with authority, and said, "Have someone drag you over, or should you kneel over on your own?"

Since ancient times, mother-in-law has been the eldest child. Although Mrs. Shen has not deliberately made things difficult for her in recent years, she has never dared to go beyond Mrs. Shen.

Seeing that Mrs. Shen was angry, how could she dare to disobey her? She reluctantly walked outside the corridor and knelt down towards the courtyard door in front of the servants in the mansion.

Then I heard Mrs. Shen say coldly: "You are not allowed to get up without my order!"

At that moment, humiliation and resentment gripped her heart.

She felt that her reputation in the Chu Mansion for many years was ruined, and every second she spent kneeling here felt like a year.

She is also waiting for Chu Qian to come back to support her and make decisions for her!

She didn't believe that Chu Qian tolerated that bitch.

Chu Xian curled her lips and sneered. She knew from the beginning that her life and death did not matter, so she did not rush to accuse Qian. Instead, she appeared in a miserable condition first to win Shen's sympathy and gain her support.

shelter.

After that, Liu Cheng was brought out and Shen was asked to verify it.

Her lies will soon be exposed, but what Liu Chengqian did will also be exposed.

She didn't believe that a person like Liu Cheng could be peaceful.

If Liu Cheng causes trouble outside, he will definitely bear the name of the Chu family. After all, in a small place like Luozhou, Chu Qian can control the life and death of most people.

Once the old lady finds out that her son's reputation has been ruined, how can she spare Qian and Liu Cheng?

However, this matter was more serious than Chu Xian imagined.

Just yesterday, when Liu Cheng went to the countryside to collect rent, he assaulted a girl and killed her parents. This incident has caused a stir in the local area.

As soon as the housewife left the house, the concierge hurriedly came to report that the girl was kneeling outside the gate with her parents' memorial tablets in her arms.

Mr. Shen has lived for most of his life and has never seen any storms.

She sat firmly in the chair and ordered people to arrest Liu Cheng while also having people bring the girl into the house. In the middle of the process, she also asked the housewife to take the sixth lady to the next room to rest.

Chu Xian knew that the success of this war changed from whether Qian harmed others to whether Qian allowed his men to commit crimes.

The fight in the inner house turned into a civil case. If the matter got serious, even Chu Qian's officials would not be able to survive. Chu Xian retired after her success and obediently followed the housewife out of the flower hall.

Seeing Mrs. Qian kneeling at the door, Chu Xian curled her lips. She didn't believe that Chu Qian would tolerate her this time.

When they came to the side room, the two maids, Qing Xing and Qing Lian, were ordered to serve Chu Xian. They also called the doctor to bandage her and apply medicine. The little girl who was in a state of embarrassment just now, immediately turned into a delicate porcelain piece. She is a doll. However, her chin is pointed, her face is narrow, and her eyes are extremely large. She is also too thin and frail. She is clearly eight years old and looks much smaller than her peers.

The housewife's expression was cold and indifferent. Seeing that everything was settled, she bowed and left.

Aunt Fang is the dowry of the old lady. She has been in the house for so many years, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands etiquette. She is very trusted by Shen. Her attitude towards Chu Xian can even affect Shen's decision.

Chu Xian knew that Aunt Fang was wary of her.

After all, Xiao Chuxian has a good reputation. Even if she deceived Mrs. Shen today by showing weakness, she may not be able to deceive Aunt Fang.

Seeing that Aunt Fang was about to leave, Chu Xian felt severe pain all over her body, but she managed to sit up and said: "Mommy, A-Xian lied..."

Aunt Fang was startled. She didn't expect Chu Xian to say this. She turned around and saw Chu Xian trying to get off the ground. She quickly said to Qing Xing: "Hurry up and help Miss Six to lie down. This has just been bandaged. If the wound is broken, What should I do?"

However, Chu Xian refused to let Qing Xing help her. As the two pushed each other, the housewife sighed, stepped forward to support Chu Xian's arm, pushed away the two maids, sat on the bed with her and said, "What does Miss Six want to say?" , tell me."

Chu Xian twisted her thighs before her eyes welled up with tears.

She knew that little Chuxian was very good-looking, and she would definitely be pitiful if she shed tears.

"Actually, it was not Liu Cheng who killed the people in the house. I was very hungry in the morning, so I slipped out of the woodshed before everyone else came. Later I heard that my aunt had gone to the back mountain, so I ran there... Ah Xian saw my aunt being eaten by a wolf with her own eyes. My aunt was trying to save me..."

Chu Xian twitched and said, "I don't know how the others died. When I came back, I was so scared that I said it was Liu Cheng's."

Seeing her like this, Aunt Fang couldn't harden her heart no matter how cold-hearted she was.

She touched Chu Xian's head and said, "Young lady, you don't need to say much, I already understand."

A little girl who was alone, knowing that everyone around her was dead, guessed that the eldest lady might have done it, so in order to protect herself, she found a scapegoat.
