Chapter 136: Kneeling and Seizing Power

Liu was paying attention to the movements in the mansion in the house. When he heard Huanxi say that Su Yuanjing was coming into the mansion, he couldn't help but show his eyebrows and finally could bring Qin Yushuang out of the general's mansion. But when Qin Jingling came back and shot Su Yuanjing, Su Yuanjing failed to take Qin Yushuang away. Qin Yushuang sent the maids around him to investigate, and was shocked and scared.

Liu clasped his hands tightly, paced back and forth in the room, thinking of a corresponding strategy in his mind.

Huanxi came back from outside anxiously and said in a trembling voice: "Second...Second Master is back."

Liu's knees softened, and he held Xiaoji with his hands before he didn't fall to the ground. "What... what should I do?" She said panic: "Where is Mum Mei? Did you let her run away?"

Huanxi nodded and said, "I stuffed her five taels of silver and let her run away."

Liu's heart was beating wildly, and he pressed his chest with a suffocating heart and said, "Why are you doing this so coincidental? My uncle never returns early or late, but he just happened to go home at this time!" At the end of his speech, he almost gritted his teeth.

She was at the risk of exposure and the matter was not done in the end. How could she not be angry?

"Second Madam, don't worry, you're a false alarm." As soon as Huanxi finished speaking, a delicate voice came from outside the room, "Second Madam, Madam, please go to the main hall."

Liu's face turned pale, his hands on the small table shaking, and his heart began to beat again.

"Second Lady..." Huanxi exclaimed.

Liu glared at her fiercely, suppressed the panic in her heart, and told herself that the Mei Ma Zi ran away. Qin Yushuang had no evidence and could not do anything to her!

"Go to the main hall!" Liu took a deep breath and went to the main hall with a calm look.

She stepped into the threshold and saw the Mei Ma knelt on the ground, and was shocked.

Qin Yushuang kept staring at Liu and saw her looking at Mama Mei’s discolored face, “Second Sister-in-law, is there something terrible in this room? Your face is too pale, so drink a cup of hot tea to suppress your shock.”

Liu's scalp was tight, she stiffened her cheeks and smiled embarrassedly: "It's too cold outside, and her face is white. I think it's going to snow that day." After rubbing her face, her eyes turned, but she didn't dare to see Qin Jingxiao.

Qin Jingxiao stared at Liu in a cold manner. Liu's hair stood up because of his stare, and his body under the thick cloak could not be suppressed.

"Second sister-in-law, do you know her?" Qin Yushuang pointed at Mama Mei with a slender finger.

"I... how could I know each other?" Liu's eyes were filled with panic, and he said with a stern look, "Shuangmei, what are you doing? Just an old lady. How many servants are there in the mansion? How can I recognize you? If you have something to do, let's open the skylight and speak loudly, don't have a sarcastic tone! If you don't know, I thought I, Liu Yue, had done something wrong with you."

She just asked Qin Yushuang to return to Pingyang Hou's mansion. Pingyang Hou really loved Qin Yushuang, but Qin Yushuang was spoiled. She didn't know what was wrong and wanted to make a fuss.

Liu believed it herself, and did not harm Qin Yushuang, but was just for her good!

Qin Yushuang threw the confession at Liu's feet. Her gentle eyebrows showed a sharp light. "A person from a small family is not on the surface, and his behavior is not as good as a lady who is educated by a noble family. He has to worry about every needle and thread. Besides, I, a married daughter who may need to be retired in the future, how can you tolerate it?"

Qin Yushuang's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Liu's heart.

Origin has always been a taboo for the Liu family. In a small county town, her family is well-off and is not enough to be seen in the capital. A family like the Qin family, all those who interact with each other are powerful ministers and marquises, and those wives are daughters of aristocratic families. Even the Jiang family, who is also a sister-in-law, has a high family.

Jiang looked at Qin Yushuang in surprise, but she didn't have any reason to get hurt. Liu's family was too low. After marrying into the Qin family, she secretly learned etiquette and behavior, fearing that she would be a joke from others. She did do a good job and quickly integrated into the circle of powerful people. However, some of her styles were engraved into the bones and could not be changed easily.

"Shuangmei, what do you mean? I have a low background and don't embarrass the Qin family. I will try my best to do my best. Your words are too heartbroken." Liu's voice was a little sharp, her eyes were red, and she said with grievance: "I know you all look down on me, why do you slander me like this? If I don't have the slightest bit of tolerance, I will still treat you with delicious food and drink!"

Qin Yushuang gave Linglong the first wink.

Linglong pulled out the handkerchief from Mama Mei's mouth, and Mama Mei cried, "Second Mama, save Lao Nu, you asked Lao Nu to tell my aunt that Miss Shang is sending her dumplings." She twisted her body and asked Linglong to take out a dark green wallet from her sleeve, "This wallet was given to Lao Nu by Mama!"

The blood on Liu's face was lost, and he denied, "What are you talking about? When did I let you pass the message? The material in this bag is very ordinary and can be seen everywhere. How can I say it was given to you?" Tears fell down and I looked at Qin Jingxiao weakly, "Mr., if you want to believe me, how could I pass the message to Shuangmei? What did I do if I lie to her out of the house? Someone must have been sinister and bribed this woman to falsely accuse me!"

Qin Jingxiao looked at Mama Mei with sharp eyes, "Who ordered you?"

"The second lady asked Huanxi to pass a message to the old slave, and asked me to trick my aunt out of the mansion, and then gave me five taels of silver to give me half a month off to avoid the limelight." Mama Mei explained everything and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Second Master, I am lard-hearted and jealous of money, so I did this confused thing, so I will spare my slave this time!"

"Mr...."

"Come here, pull Huanxi down and beat the military stick until you confess your guilt!" Qin Jingxiao saw at a glance that Liu was lying. She refused to admit it, so she forced the accomplice to confess!

Huanxi's face turned pale, she looked at Liu, who lowered her head and did not dare to look at her.

Huanxi was pulled out and pressed to the ground. The military staff was beaten down. The muscles and bones all over her body were in severe pain. Her face was gray and she couldn't bear it after a few sticks. She screamed, "I'm going to help me, I'll help me!"

The elite soldiers dragged in happily, and blood flowed all over the ground.

When Liu heard Huanxi's confession, her heart was irritated. Looking at Huanxi's blood all over her body, her heart was soaked in ice water.

"It's me... I'm worried that my aunt would stay in the mansion and the old lady would be partial. The second lady was quarreling with the second master again. I saw the second lady crying sadly, and asked Mrs. Mei to send a message to my aunt without telling her that her aunt and the Marquis would return to the mansion. My aunt would have a home, and the second lady would not quarrel with the second master." Huanxi was pumping the air conditioner, and the pain on her butt made her almost faint.

Even men can't stand the military stick, let alone the weak little girl.

Huanxi was loyal to Liu and took all his sins.

Liu's back was covered in cold sweat and he was in a false alarm.

Qin Yushuang looked at the pale face and was filled with pain and frowned.

Everyone in the room knew that Liu was the mastermind, but Huanxi took the initiative to admit his mistake and did not arrest Liu. After all, he was the second wife of the general's mansion and could not be tortured.

"Shuangmei, should you be satisfied now?" Liu became tough and then looked at Qin Jingxiao again, "Second Master is good at using this military stick to make a move. Who made me a low-class family and unable to protect my joy, and made her wronged."

"That's really aggrieved you guys!" Mrs. Qin came in from outside the door and followed the housekeeper behind her.

When Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Qin come back, her expression changed instantly. When she saw the butler, her eyes changed.

"I don't know. Someone will make trouble when I'm not in the mansion for a while!" Mrs. Qin sat in the main seat, Qin Yushuang poured her a cup of tea. Mrs. Qin held it in her hand and took a sip, and said coldly: "Butler, what's going on, you can tell me."

The housekeeper stood up and said, "Huanxi bribed Mama Mei for false message. The old slave was called by the second wife to ask questions. Until Huanxi came over in panic, she waved her back to retreat. The old slave then learned that Pingyang Hou had made a big fuss." He took out a purse from his sleeve, "This is the reward given by the second wife before leaving."

This wallet is exactly the same as that in the hands of Mrs. Mei.

Liu also wanted to make a quibble, so Qin Yushuang took two purses and sniffed it lightly, "My second sister-in-law likes plum blossoms, and both of these purses are fragrant with plum blossoms. What's more, why do the butler slander you for being so slander?"

Liu was shocked and did not expect to leave a flaw in the housekeeper. He knelt on the ground and broke out in cold sweat. "Mom, I was wrong, I dare not be selfish again. I have no contribution to this family, and I have worked hard. Please remember the love you have in the past and spare me this time!"

The old lady Qin's eyebrows were cold, as if she was thinking about how to execute Liu.

Liu was extremely scared and cried bitterly: "Mom, my daughter-in-law knows her mistake. Please spare my daughter-in-law this time. Lin'er, Ming'er can't be without her mother."

Mrs. Qin couldn't hide the fatigue between her eyebrows and eyes, and said coldly: "Mrs. Liu, you have knelt in the ancestral hall these days to reflect on it. All the things in the mansion will be left to your sister-in-law to take charge of it."
