Chapter 66: Too Hard
When he said the word "adulterer", not only Song Shi couldn't bear it, but Qu Lianzhi even bit her lips until they bled.
"Even if my son is a complete loser, he wouldn't be so uncritical," Lady Dongyang felt humiliated. "Killing is killing, don't throw dirty water on a dead person."
The Duke of Dongyang gnashed his teeth and said, "The evidence is irrefutable. How can you, a vicious woman, deny it?"
Qu Qi wished he could kick the Song family out right now. The blood-stained bellyband was like a thorn, pricking him and making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Song, you and I are husband and wife. No matter what happens to you, I will never mistreat our three children." Qu Xin cared about his reputation and said this in front of outsiders with deep sorrow.
His hypocrisy made Song sick. "Didn't you say the same thing to Xu Zhaoyue back then? Did you do it? Are you afraid that Xu Zhaoyue will come back to take your life?"
The corner of Qu Xi's mouth twitched, and he shook his sleeves and stopped looking at her.
Chi Yuan waved his hand, and the officers surrounded the people, but they still gave Song some respect and did not take action.
"No, mother..." Qu Lianzhi stretched out her hand, but was stopped by the maids.
"Hahahaha, Song, you have come to this day." Qu Mingyue arrived and watched the show until this moment. She finally couldn't help laughing and said, "You go first. I will send your daughter to see you soon."
Her face was twisted into a creepy expression, and her eyes were like cold poisonous snakes that made Song unable to breathe.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you." Song was out of character.
"Come here, I have something to tell you," she waved towards Qu Mingyue, "It's about A Xuan."
Upon hearing Liu Xuan's name, Qu Mingyue immediately became agitated.
"Don't go over there," Qu Xi grabbed her, "I'll have someone take you back."
"Get lost," Qu Mingyue swung her sleeve across Qu Chen's face, like a slap in the face. "My son died in your house, and you shielded the murderer. I should have let you die at the hands of that old bitch."
When Qu Xi saw her talking about the past, a trace of pain flashed across his face.
When he was handed over to a kidnapper by his father's aunt, it was his sister who risked her life to save him.
He could not forget how his sister was beaten all over and almost sold to a brothel.
Later, my father was seriously ill and dying, and he wanted to pass the title to my aunt's son.
On that stormy night, my sister strangled my father to death on the bed, and without waiting a moment, she gave my aunt's son to the kidnapper.
"Blind him and sell him to the north for hard labor. If he doesn't obey, just beat him to death."
Later, the concubine also fed the dog, and peace finally came to the marquis's mansion.
Qu Xin has deep feelings for Qu Mingyue.
His position was guarded by Qu Mingyue.
Even after being slapped, she didn't get angry and said patiently, "Sister, Axuan fell to his death."
"He didn't fall to death," Song said, looking at the brother and sister's affectionate feelings with cold eyes, "I saw who killed him."
She burst into tears and said, "Sister, I am dying and I cannot bear to see you in such pain."
Qu Mingyue bit Qu Chen's hand.
Qu Xi felt pain and let go.
"Stop her." Chi Yuan spoke immediately and stepped forward.
But it's too late.
"Tell me, who is it?"
When Qu Mingyue walked towards Song, Song also hurried forward. When they were only inches apart, the knife in her sleeve had already pierced her abdomen.
Blood splattered on Song's face. She looked fierce and said coldly, "Go down and ask him yourself."
In the time it takes to say one sentence, he has already stabbed me several times.
Qu Qi froze in place, watching in disbelief as Qu Mingyue fell down bit by bit in pain.
"elder sister!"
He rushed forward and caught the person, his throat tightened, "I'll take you to see the imperial physician. I'll go right away."
Chi Yuan had already knocked the knife out of Song's hand.
"Madam, you are so brave to kill someone in front of the Dali Temple."
Song smiled lightly, "What difference does it make if I kill one or two? I will never allow such a lunatic to threaten my daughter's life."
"mother--"
Qu Lianzhi burst into tears.
Song Shi held back her tears and didn't look at her. She looked at Chi Yuan provocatively, "You are very smart. You know how to rely on the eldest princess to deal with me, but have you ever thought that when the prince succeeds to the throne, you will die with the eldest princess."
After saying this, he walked away with his head held high and his chest puffed out, following the officers from the Dali Temple.
Behind him was Qu Lianzhi's heart-wrenching cry.
Song never looked back.
She has no chance of survival from now on.
The Song family would regard her as a great disgrace. There would be no need to wait for the Dali Temple to behead her. Her mother would probably kill her in the Dali Temple prison for her sister.
For some reason, Song actually felt a sense of relief.
When she died and closed her eyes, she would no longer have to worry about her children or sacrifice for her family.
Let them be, and die alone.
"My Lord, there's one more thing I hope you can investigate." Chi Yuan placed the box that Song had sent out in front of Qu Xi. "Mrs. Xu's dowry was largely replaced by Mrs. Song. Her Highness the Princess is aware of this."
The wife of the Duke of Dongyang watched coldly and said sarcastically, "She asked me to pin the blame on your sister. Lord, you, the head of the family, are truly blind and deaf, allowing the Song family to stir up trouble."
She suppressed her grief, took another look at the place where her son died, and turned around with Dongyang Bo supporting each other.
"Master, let's submit a petition to His Majesty to revoke the title. It wasn't ours in the first place. If we accept it, we will be punished by heaven."
"Okay, let's take our son and leave the capital. His spirit in heaven would surely want to see us alive and well. The hatred, vengeance, power, and influence in the capital have nothing to do with us."
The couple seemed to have aged ten years and walked away with a staggering gait.
"Goodbye." Chi Yuan bowed to Qu Li and left with the people involved.
The bright yard was plunged into darkness in an instant.
"elder sister……"
Qu Xin hugged Qu Mingyue, who was vomiting blood, and cried hoarsely.
Qu Mingyue stared with her eyes wide open, her body twitching, and she died before the court doctor arrived.
Su Shang hid in a tall and dense tree in the marquis's mansion. When she heard Qu Qin's mournful cry, she quietly returned to Nuanshanju.
"My wife has been taken away, and my aunt is dead."
Qu Ling lay in bed with his eyes closed, resting. Upon hearing this, he turned over and raised his lips, "I have already prayed for her at Guoqing Temple."
In the previous life, Qu Mingyue gave the old lady a lot of advice, just wanting to sell Qu Ling for a better price.
In the end, he didn't have time to kill Qu Mingyue.
In this life, the regret has finally been made up.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, young lady," Tingqin said, "The old lady will definitely call you over."
Qu Ling exhaled, "No rush."
If Song doesn't come back, Qu Lianzhi will be completely hated.
As for the old lady...
"Tingqin, when is Grandmother's birthday?"
"September."
"Sixty, right?"
"yes."
"Go, spare no expense, and find the best coffin possible. It will be my gift to my grandmother."
The people in the room looked at each other and Tingqin agreed.
"Miss, Miss, please go to Yunsong Hall quickly. The old lady has fainted." An anxious voice came from outside.
Qu Ling slowly opened his eyes, a sigh escaping his lips, "Ah, this is really too hard for me."
