Mammy Luo was a little hesitant. She always felt that there was some other meaning in Shi Qingxue's remarks, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She could only nod and say surely, "Yes! I saw the enshrining table in the ancestral hall burned.
If I am lying, make me shocked by thunder and meet with a tragic death!"
Such vicious vows were spoken out. They couldn’t help but be moved. People at present almost believed Mammy Luo's words.
However, Qingxue looked inside the ancestral hall with surprise at this moment, "Well? But it was not burned in the ancestral hall!"
"It's impossible!" Let alone Mammy Luo, even Shi Juncai was surprised this time!
"Grandmother, if you don't mind, you could enter the hall and then you would know it." Shi Qingxue didn't argue with them at all and proved it with the facts.
Mo Shujun was thinking about the tablet in the ancestral hall. As soon as she heard what Shi Qingxue had said, she strode straight into it, not even paying attention to the shout of her youngest son.
It was indeed not a wise choice to enter a once-burned wooden house. Dong Hui secretly pulled the sleeve of Shi Qingxue, and whispered, "If the beam in the house collapses and your grandmother were injured, wouldn't the third master's family create a big disturbance?"
"There won't be a problem. You can rest assured." Shi Qingxue couldn't tell it clearly, but she patted Dong Hui's hands gently, and entered first in the sights of those in the third master's family, who were expecting a big show.
Everyone followed into the hall, but the next moment they were shocked by the scene in the house: The light insides was dark yellow, full of santal, and Shi Lei's tablet was on the primary position. Everything was safe and sound.
"How is that possible?" Mo Shujun saw the scene inside the room, relieved first, but then looked at Shi Qingxue in amazement.
It was all burned out on the outside. Why was there nothing wrong inside?
Shi Qingxue's look remained unchanged, instead she turned around to ask Mammy Luo, "I'm also surprised. How could you see the ancestral hall was on fire insides?"
"It's impossible. I undoubtedly did ask..." Mammy Luo shouted in surprise, then suddenly shut her mouth up, pretending to have said nothing.
Shi Qingxue then asked, "What did you undoubtedly do? Only then did you just say that you saw the ancestral hall on fire, but now the ancestral hall is intact. How do you explain that?"
Mammy Luo's face became pale, but she was still stubborn in her words, "I really saw that the ancestral hall was on fire. How could it become like this? I really don't know. Sixth Lady, ask someone else and you shall know, if you don't believe me."
"Qingxue, you asked her one after another like this. Are you trying to force her to confess?" Shi Juncai suddenly interrupted at this moment.
And he asked intentionally, "Besides, when normal people see that the courtyard of the ancestral hall is on fire, they must think that it is also burning inside. How did you know that there was no fire inside? Isn't this a bit unusual?"
This remark apparently accused Shi Qingxue of deliberately framing Mammy Luo with a trap.
Shi Qingxue wasn't flurried at all. In the confused gaze of Mo Shujun, she slowly revealed the truth, "Today is grandmother's birthday banquet. I remembered that grandpa always loved to wake up early in the morning to worship God, hoping that God would bless grandma healthy and safe. But my mother asked me to meet the guest in the front hall, and I could only let my maids, Xia Mang and Dong Shuang, come to worship for me first."
Mo Shujun obviously also remembered Shi Lei's habit. She could not help but look a little soft, no longer doubted, and listened to Qingxue's words.
"Xia Mang and Dong Shuang came into the ancestral hall to incense, but they saw three men sneak into the ancestral hall and set fire. They captured the three men and tortured them to find out that it was actually Mammy Luo's order to do such an evil thing. But when Xia Mang reported to me, Mammy Luo had already committed arson outside the courtyard, so I asked them to protect the ancestral hall, at the same time, I counterplotted in order to drive this evil person out!"
After that, Shi Qingxue sneered on the corner of her mouth, and said to Shi Juncai unhurriedly, "Third Uncle, if you still don't believe it, you can ask those three witnesses of Mammy Luo."
She raised her hand, and Xia Mang and Dong Shuang, who had been hiding in the dark, took the three men out.
The three subordinates didn't bother to explain it anymore. All of a sudden, they knelt in front of Mo Shujun, and told how Mammy Luo used money to lure them to burn the ancestral hall and frame Dong Hui.
"Mammy Luo, now do you still dare to say that you aren't the one who wants to disturb my grandmother's birthday banquet and slander my mother?"
Shi Qingxue's words turned sharply towards Mammy Luo, she was scared and fell down to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy, "Sixth Lady, please forgive me. I am just a servant. These are all third..."
Seeing that Mammy Luo was scared and about to tell everything, Shi Juncai was also terrified that his legs became weak for a while. He said in advance, "Luo Song, my mother sent you to guard the ancestral hall. How do you dare to neglect your duties? Do you still want to quibble?" Mammy Luo became a little more conscious with his yell, and her original confession was swallowed back under Shi Juncai's glaring. All the lives of her family were in Shi Juncai's hands. If she dared to drag him into this mess, he could ruin her with one finger! "It's all my fault. I hated the first madam's partiality and canceled my salary this month, and I made such a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me this time, regarding that I've been cautious and conscientious these years!" As if she suddenly understood, Mammy Luo burst into tears, and had a good attitude of confession, but she did not mention who directed it. "You! You're being stupid. Ev
Shi Qingxue hadn't spoken yet, but Mammy Luo took the chance to ask for mercy, "Sixth Lady, please forgive me! I really just made a wrong decision. Regarding that I have served the princess royal, please..."Qingxue's look was cold, and she said straight to Dong Hui, "Mother, haven't I just said that? You are the hostess of this family. It is your right to dispose of this evil servant in accordance with family rules. I don't believe that when you deal with a servant who offended the master, there would be people who dare to say anything about you? Even if you throw her out of the house, no one dare to disagree with that." In addition to disturbing the frame of her Third Uncle, more importantly, she made this trap today to let her mother establish prestige in the Shi Family!In this way, people like Mammy Luo would not appear again. In such a situation, she still dared to ignore Dong Hui and Shi Qingxue for forgiveness. Did she really think tha
Mo Junhao said that he wouldn't blame her. He waited for a while, but Dong Hui and Shi Qingxue seemed completely unaware of their embarrassing situation, and did not mention the destruction of ingredients in the kitchen at all. He couldn't wait any longer, so he had to start the topic first, "I saw the kitchen messed up, and auntie was embarrassed. I wonder if there is anything that I can help with?" Shi Qingxue sneered in her heart, secretly saying that she was really blind in her previous life. Why did she feel that Hao could be like a god and could save her and her mother from such an embarrassing situation?This man was clearly malicious, he dug a trap and waited for them to jump into it! At this moment, they kept silent, but he was ready to push them down at any time! What a great brother of her! She didn't hold back, and asked back with a cold look that seemed to be smiling, "Your Highness, I don't know what
However, it was Shi Qingxue that was overjoyed when she heard that Mo Junyang was here to deliver things, and she didn't even think about why she was willing to owe Mo Junyang a favor, but unwilling to have any relationship with Mo Junhao, even though they were both her enemies in her last life. She just gave her mother a wink. The latter understood. She nodded quickly and welcomed Mo Junyang and the others into the kitchen. Shi Qingxue didn't know whether it was her imaginary or not that Mo Junyang seemed to have expected that the kitchen would be destroyed. Apart from the cook, he even brought the cleaning man from the palace. Those people cleaned up a place in an orderly way and started to prepare the dishes, which was very efficient. On the contrary, Mo Junhao, originally full of confidence, thought that with this favor he could capture the beauty's heart. Suddenly he was interrupted by Mo Junyang, and all his plans were us
Mo Junyu was slightly stunned, probably because he did not expect Shi Qingxue to be so direct.After a long while, he said, "Qingxue, don't treat me as a stranger. Seeing you this time is not for recompense. I have something else vital to tell you."Shi Qingxue nodded but did not speak. She waited for Mo Junyu's words.Mo Junyu also didn't keep her guessing, and said straight forward, "Baoning's illness, you can go to Mang Mountain for medical treatment."Shi Qingxue's pupils tightened suddenly, and she suddenly looked up at Mo Junyu, who also looked back frankly and did not evade. But it made her even more confused about Mo Junyu's attitude.In this life, what Shi Qingxue couldn't bear the most was that others tried to frame her close relatives, and her voice became a little colder, "Your Highness is well-informed, why not tell the news to my grandmother yourself?"The Shi family had been concerned for th
Shi Qingxue also wasn't willing to let go of them so easily, but she didn't bother to think deeply about it at this urgent moment.Pretending not to see the looks of those people, she said in a humble tone, "Grandma, please forgive me. It is not that I don't treasure this sisterhood. I accidentally learned just now that there was a skilled doctor in Mang Mountain named Shen Luo, and he might be able to cure Baoning's illness. That's why I went to send people to inquire, hoping to invite this skilled doctor to heal Baoning."Mo Shujun didn't expect Qingxue's execution to be so strong, and she even thought of finding a skilled doctor to heal Baoning."Huh! What kind of skilled doctor is she talking about? Who knows whether it's gonna work or not? Besides, the doctor of the family is experienced, Qingxue is planning to abandon the good doctor in the house, and to go somewhere far to find a rural doctor. Who's to blame if anything bad happens?" Shi
Shi Qingxue saw Dong Hui looked anxious and extremely worried, she took back the words which had reached her lips.Firstly, she hadn't figured out Mo Junyu's purpose, and secondly, she really didn't want her mother to worry about these things again.Dong Hui was surprised by Qingxue's sly expression, and then laughed, "You shrewdness! Well! If that skilled doctor can really cure Ning, then I will be at ease!"Dong Hui always felt that she didn't pay much attention to her physical health when she was pregnant, which led to her daughter's bad health since she was young. Needless to say how guilty she was!"He definitely will. Mother, you can rest assured!" Shi Qingxue knew Dong Hui's guilt, and said firmly to pass this firm conviction to her mother.Dong Hui's face was a little bit cheerful and she chuckled, "I hope! The trouble is that Baoyan will also go with you. She has been jealous of you since she was a child, and
However, Shi Qingxue didn't express much surprise at the hibiscus flowers sent to her. The smile on her face remained the same, and she pointed to the dresser in the distance, "You may just put them there."After that, she ignored Chun Yu, and discussed the matter of going to Mang Mountain with Xia Mang and Dong Shuang. Obviously, she did not plan to take Chun Yu with her this time.Dong Shuang was the youngest. When she heard that they were going out, she forgot her previous complaints and discussed with them cheerfully. She didn't pay attention to Chun Yu's twisted face when turning around.Shi Qingxue seemed not to notice it, and she talked about some unimportant things with Dong Shuang, and it wasn't until Chun Yu slowly put down the vase and had to leave that she suddenly said solemnly, "Xia Mang, come here. I have something to say to you..."Chun Yu's had already stepped out of the room and could only continue to walk out. At
