Chapter 59 Wanxin counterattack
Wan Xin knelt down below and never said anything. Seeing that she did not say anything, Liu cleared her throat, "Today's Lantern Festival, Cao Ji'an, a famous playboy in the capital, stopped Rufei. This person actually held a handkerchief embroidered Rufei's small characters, and claimed in public that Rufei was concerned with him!"
When Rufei heard this, she began to wipe her tears just right, as if she had suffered some great grievances.
The third wife Wu was shocked, "How could Cao Ji'an have a handkerchief? I'm afraid there is any misunderstanding in this?"
Liu snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? This is probably not a misunderstanding, but a frame-up." After saying that, he pointed at Wan Xin, "It was she who framed Rufei and was targeted by Cao Ji'an. Wan Xin, since you returned home, I will take you to do your best. Even the Yan family's marriage was considered to have separated soon after you got together and let Rufei marry on your behalf. Do you think I would be willing to let my daughter leave the house so soon? And you don't understand that I have to work hard, and hold a grudge against not letting you marry into the Yan family, which makes your legitimate sister fall into such an embarrassing situation."
"The legitimate mother is so eloquent, it's a waste not to go to the street to tell stories." Chen Wanxin, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke softly.
"You, you still don't repent. Why is our Chen Mansion apart from you, an unfilial daughter? Although your mother is no longer here, I have the right to discipline you well on behalf of your mother!" Liu Shi was immediately angry when she saw Chen Wanxin's face unchanged.
"Legal mother, let's wait. You said I was jealous of Rufei and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. I dare to ask my mother, what evidence is there to prove that Rufei was framed by me?"
"It's you, if you can't marry into the Yan Mansion, you will hold a grudge against me. It's you who colluded with Cao Ji'an to harm me, and it's you who imitated my embroiderer who embroidered my handkerchief." Chen Rufei screamed in anger when she thought of such a big obstacle to her marriage with Yan Jinfei.
"Ha." Chen Wanxin sneered, "My sister, my mother's red mouth and white teeth insisted that I had framed Rufei. I have only been back to Beijing for a few days. During this period, I have been busy with my elder brother's return home recently, and I haven't taken a step out of the house for a long time. How could I know Cao Ji'an? I also colluded with him to harm you. This is the first time I heard of Cao Ji'an today, let alone know him. If my mother doesn't believe me, please write a post and invite Cao Ji'an to the house to confront me!"
"Everyone says you collude with him, and confrontation is also your collusion with him!" Chen Rufei's eyes widened and pointed at Chen Wanxin condescendingly.
"It seems that no matter what I say today, my mother will condemn me."
Wu said tremblingly, "Sister, this matter is definitely not underestimated. If the case was just a hasty decision, it would probably hurt the reputation of our Shen family's Shuiyun."
Regardless of official and business, what every family fears most is that the scandals in the inner court spread to the outside world. A family can’t even manage family affairs well, so can they negotiate to do a good business and manage the country well?
Jiang also spoke at this time, "I have said this a long time ago. My sister has involved the matter of not entering your door. Now the third sister has spoken, so I may not say that the master is still partial to the third room. Wanxin, don't kneel down and get up quickly." You should know that Wu was originally Liu's dowry maid, but he entered Mr. Shen's room after Liu was pregnant. When Liu knew about it, Wu was already pregnant, so he had no choice but to carry her as an aunt. Liu has always been resentful about this, which can be said to be her pain point. Now that he was exposed so nakedly by Jiang in public, his face turned darker.
"Sanniang and Siniang both raised objections. Dare to ask the daughter of her mother, can anyone prove it? If there is no evidence to prove it, she will do such a thing to her daughter, even if the daughter sues the emperor, she will seek justice for herself!" Wan Xin ignored Jiang and still knelt in the hall.
"Personal evidence? Physical evidence? Since you are about to die with peace of mind, I will fulfill you." Liu turned his head and looked at Shen Zishu and Shen Wanqi, "You two have told you all the things you see today, and you must not hide it at all."
The two people who were suddenly named stood up tremblingly, looked at Liu, and began to tell what happened today, from the conversation between Chen Rufei and Shen Wanxin before leaving the mansion, until Chen Rufei ran back crying while covering her face on the street.
Chen Wanxin knelt on the ground and listened carefully to the two of them, "Two sisters, you just saw Cao Ji'an holding Chen Rufei's handkerchief and said that Rufei was concerned about him, and Rufei had some quarrels with Cao Ji'an on the street of Lantern Festival, but he did not see anything else. Can you see me appear at the scene?"
Chen Wanqi and Shen Zishu looked at each other and shook their heads. "Since the two sisters didn't see me, there was no evidence. Now let's talk about physical evidence. Just now, my sister said, "I imitated your embroiderer and forged your handkerchief. Can this physical evidence be there? That is, can your handkerchief be there?"
Chen Rufei snorted, "The handkerchief is in Cao Ji'an's hand, asking knowingly."
"Since there is no evidence or physical evidence, I am the one who blames me. Is my stepmother bullying me alone and no one takes care of me?" Chen Wanxin said sternly.
Liu stood up and walked to Wanxin, looking down at her, "Is there any evidence? Come and go to Zhuyuan to search for me, is there any evidence?"
Huamei took two old women to Tingzhuyuan and ran to Tingzhuyuan. Liu and Shen Rufei sat on the chair with a look of confidence. "Wanxin, your father is back later, I will report the matter to your father in every detail. You don't have to worry about me abusing my family law. You are like you who frame your legitimate sister and insult the Shen family. I see how the master deals with you."
Soon after, Huamei returned to the front hall, her face was so good that she walked to Liu and whispered. After hearing this, Liu's face changed. Her vicious eyes turned to Chen Wanxin, and a faint smile appeared on Chen Wanxin's face, "Dare you sure, Huamei took the mother to my yard and found something?"
"Hmph, you must have hid your things."
"What my sister said is biased. I just came back from outside and entered the gate of Chen Mansion and was detained so far. How can I have time to hide anything? But my sister, did she hide something in my room, but now she can't find it?" Chen Wanxin closed her eyes and sighed.
"That's your maid hiding the things."
"My maid was escorted to the woodshed by your mother. How can I hide things?"
Chen Rufei looked at Liu, and Liu nodded. Suddenly, Liu suddenly thought that Chen Wanxin had two maids, and she only saw one. It must be her instructing another maid to destroy the evidence, "I just locked up your Xiatian. I remember there is a maid named Mingyue, right? Where has she been? Her own lady has returned home, why has this maid not returned yet?"
Chen Rufei also found that Mingyue was not in the mansion, and instantly showed a smile of victory, "Yes, it's Mingyue, it's her. Chen Wanxin, come here quickly, what did you ask your maid to do!"
Chen Wanxin talked again. She didn't expect that Chen Rufei was so stupid. Thinking of her previous life being persecuted to death by such a stupid and bad person, she felt ashamed of her slowness. "Chen Jiayao wants to make a green lake wisp golden auspicious cloud pattern dress, so I sent Mingyue to the house of the Minister of Rites to measure the size. Calculate the time, and it's time to come back now."
After Chen Wanxin's words finished, a maid came from outside to report that Mingyue had returned to her house and had already tied up, and whether she would also be escorted to the woodshed.
Chen Wanxin's laughter was as cold as broken jade, "No matter how blue and red, I tied up my two maids and my father. Is this my mother's life to us?"
Seeing Wan Xin's arrogance gradually getting up, Liu was about to suppress her, but unexpectedly, a little maid ran in in panic, "Madam, it's not good."
