Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "I want to sue Li Che!"...
Zhao Qingyi was really scared. Last time, she was able to pretend that she didn't remember anything because of the alcohol, but how could she explain it this time?
She hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but was held down tightly by the other party, pressing it against his strong and hard chest.
"You were obviously very satisfied with it last time, but you can't remember it?" Chu Yuanhe took her and asked her to recall the ridiculous things she had done bit by bit.
Zhao Qingyi's cheeks flushed with shame, and her ears were almost bleeding. "I..."
"As long as you say you don't like it, I will never bother you again from now on." Chu Yuanhe was very serious. Looking closely, his handsome and almost enchanting eyes hid loneliness.
Instead, she looked somewhat pitiful and rare.
Zhao Qingyi admired herself a little. At this time, she could still have some messy thoughts in her mind.
"I……"
She tried to speak again, but her voice was out of tune. "I think..."
Let’s take a look again.
Her fingertips brushed against the small spot on his heart, burning her so much that she shivered all over. Her knuckles, as tender as onions, curled up under his clothes, forming a small arc.
Chu Yuanhe looked at her flustered expression, his throat rolling slightly. "Tell me, do you like it or not?"
It’s just a matter of words, is it that difficult?
"No……"
Zhao Qingyi wanted to say that she didn't like it, but the handsome face dimmed visibly, which made her inexplicably feel a trace of pity.
She changed her words like she was obsessed with sex, "Like, like..."
After a pause, he hurriedly said, "At least, I don't hate you."
This is the true words. When you think about it carefully, Chu Yuanhe has never done anything outrageous. On the contrary, he has always helped her a lot intentionally or unintentionally.
Intellectually, Zhao Qingyi couldn't be ungrateful, and emotionally, she seemed unable to resist him.
After receiving this unsatisfactory answer, Chu Yuanhe continued to ask, "Then what am I in your eyes?"
Zhao Qingyi considered carefully, "...ally?"
It's not wrong to say they are allies. Her goal is to get a divorce, and Chu Yuanhe's goal is...
Well, it should also be to make her divorce.
Chu Yuanhe was silent for a while, very confused, "That's it?"
What else?
Zhao Qingyi decided to throw the question back, "What does the prince think of this?"
Chu Yuanhe said succinctly, "Anyway, it's not innocent."
Zhao Qingyi looked at her own hand, which was still in the man's lapel. "..."
Although she did not do it on her own initiative this time, she could not be blamed for it and she closed her eyes in regret.
Chu Yuanhe then let go of her, and as she pulled away, he let out a labored gasp.
Zhao Qingyi quickly hid her hands in the quilt. The man's body temperature seemed to remain on her fingertips. She lowered her head, her thick eyelashes trembling constantly, and she didn't dare to look directly at the person in front of her.
After a struggle, Chu Yuanhe's clothes had come apart, revealing his strong wheat-colored chest, and his tight muscles were gently rising and falling with the rhythm of his breathing.
It is a sin to look at it any more.
There was a strange and charming atmosphere all around. Seeing her like this, Chu Yuanhe thought it would be difficult to hear something he liked from her.
He took a deep breath, stepped back outside the bed curtains, and slowly straightened his clothes. His relaxed posture seemed as if he was not the one who had just been "bullied".
"You can think about it again. I'll come next time." After saying that, he deliberately waited for a while, but did not receive her rejection.
That means tacit consent.
The door was not locked, but Chu Yuanhe still liked to jump out the window and leave. As soon as he left, the invisible oppression and ambiguity suddenly dissipated.
Zhao Qingyi felt relieved, but she couldn't sleep all night.
The fact that she didn't reject him harshly tonight meant that the relationship between them was quietly changing, and she might find it difficult to sever ties with him in the future.
The next day, the thin morning light shone through the carved window lattice onto the tent. Zhao Qingyi sat wrapped in quilt, massaging his sore brows before lying down.
She thought about it all night and decided to go find Huaisheng and his wife after washing up, tell them the news Chu Yuanhe brought last night, and ask them whether they were willing to risk their lives to file a complaint with the emperor.
After hearing this, Huaisheng and his wife nodded repeatedly, "As long as I can avenge my father, I'm not afraid even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
Agui, the daughter-in-law, stroked her round belly and agreed with tears in her eyes. If they couldn't solve this problem, they would be retaliated against when they returned to Tongxiang, and they would never have peace. It would be better to take a gamble.
On the day of the Spring Equinox, the emperor marched out of the imperial city in a grand procession.
In addition to the sacrifice, this is the first time that His Majesty has appeared in front of the people after many years on the throne. The purpose is to appease the refugees and show kindness.
However, the majesty of the royal family is here, and when the emperor leaves the city, he will be escorted by hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as countless imperial guards. There are curtains all around the imperial carriage, and you can vaguely see a tall and straight young figure sitting inside.
It caused quite a stir for a while, and Zhuque Street was crowded with people and very lively.
It has to be said that Emperor Chu Yuanhe was extremely prestigious among the people. He was a young man with great talent and strategy. At the age of 19, he was able to lead his army to pacify the northwest. He fought for many years without being defeated. His achievements in expanding the territory were outstanding, which earned him submission from all over the world and stability for the people.
He opened the sea market to merchants and encouraged business. He also reduced taxes and levies on the people and showed sympathy for their sentiments. The people praised him highly and called him one of the most legendary wise rulers since the founding of Daliang. The national power of Daliang became increasingly prosperous.
Even though Zhao Qingyi was mixed in the crowd, she couldn't help but be curious and cast an inquiring look towards the imperial carriage. However, she didn't see what the emperor looked like, but she caught a glimpse of the suave Chu Yuanhe, who was dressed in a dark county dynasty uniform and looked very elegant, sitting on the right side of the imperial carriage.
In stark contrast to his previous unruly image, he restrained his smile and his eyes became stern. When the imperial carriage moved forward, he stood by with a sword in hand, looking quite majestic, which attracted the frequent glances of the people on both sides.
Including Zhao Qingyi.
I didn't expect he had two faces.
Chu Yuanhe had been in the army for many years and his five senses were extremely sharp. As soon as he noticed her gaze, his sharp peach blossom eyes suddenly turned and caught her sight in an instant.
The moment their eyes met, Zhao Qingyi's heart seemed to stop. The look in his eyes was too sharp, revealing an inviolable divinity and murderous aura, which was completely different from her impression of the playful and dandy Prince Pingxi.
Just when Zhao Qingyi was about to suffocate, the other person's eyes softened, and when she looked closely, he actually gave her a coquettish look.
“…” Zhao Qingyi’s wildly beating heart instantly calmed down.
Instead, the crowd in her direction erupted in exclamations, and the wives and young girls all blushed, obviously also paying attention to Chu Yuanhe who was standing next to the imperial carriage.
At first, everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the emperor's face, but the imperial carriage was covered too tightly, so the guards beside him got the upper hand. Some people even whispered to each other, trying to find out about the news about the Prince of Pingxi, most of them were concerned about whether he was married or not.
But if someone looked closely, they would find that the eunuch Huang on the other side of the imperial carriage was nervously wiping his sweat secretly, and the accompanying imperial guard commander Lin Feng was also guarding Chu Yuanhe more.
Behind the curtain, the real Prince of Pingxi - the fake emperor Chu Tianba at this moment, sat upright in his cousin's dragon robe, with a layer of cold sweat on his back.
This time the fun is too big!
If he paraded around like this, and an enemy spy took the opportunity to assassinate him, he would be a sitting target sitting in the imperial carriage. Not only that, he also had to worry about his identity being exposed at any time.
His cousin, the emperor, acted recklessly and hired someone to impersonate him and sit on the throne. How could those old ministers tolerate this? Even if they didn't dare to provoke his cousin, they would definitely deal with him.
Chu Tianba couldn't understand it. No one told him that he would have to take on this tough job before he returned to Beijing.
Just when he was wondering how long to pretend, a scream of agony came from far away and the accompanying imperial guards drew their swords to protect him.
Huaisheng held up the petition, knelt in the middle of the street, and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, I have a grievance! I want to sue Imperial Academy Editor Li Che and his family for colluding with the gentry, engaging in corruption and lending money, and taking human lives with impunity!"
The noisy crowd in front was quiet for a moment because of the imperial guards drawing their swords, but now it was boiling again because of Huaisheng's words. Everyone was from the capital, and the previous scandal of the Li family was a hot topic. When Li Che was mentioned, almost everyone knew him.
Chu Tianba thought, could this be the real purpose of his cousin's imperial parade?
Looking through the curtain, Chu Yuanhe was indeed very interested. "Your Majesty, someone has filed a complaint. Please accept the case."
After a brief silence, Chu Tianba stopped the imperial carriage and summoned Huaisheng to answer.
Seeing that "Your Majesty" intended to intervene, the chief officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple could not sit idly by and stepped forward one after another. Soon the Dali Temple court was in chaos and the people once again surrounded it.
However, the emperor still refused to show up and hid behind the curtain. Huaisheng's petition was examined by Eunuch Huang and then presented to the emperor. Chu Tianba pretended to hold it, but the one who actually read the contents was Chu Yuanhe who was standing next to him.
The petition, which ran for three full pages, detailed how the victim, Liu Dashan, was persuaded by the owner of Luo's Pawnshop to borrow five taels of silver. Six months later, the interest had multiplied to fifty taels. Unable to repay, Luo Gui then ordered thugs to seize his ancestral land and property, and then beat him to death...
The cause of the whole incident has been sorted out clearly, and the handwriting is beautiful and neat.
Chu Yuanhe had a tacit understanding. "I wonder who wrote this petition? Why not pass it up?"
Hearing Huaisheng utter the words "Chenhua County Master" himself, everyone was shocked. Wasn't that Lord Li's wife? Was he colluding with outsiders and sacrificing his own family for the greater good?
Things are becoming more and more intriguing.
A quarter of an hour later, almost all the people involved in the case arrived. In the solemn and dignified court, sat three judges with serious expressions. The chief one was the Dali Temple Minister, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a sharp gaze. He was known as the Iron-faced Judge in Beijing.
There was also the chief official of the Ministry of Justice and a senior official of the Censorate. They had all heard about Li Che's affairs and had impeached Li Che before.
The yamen runners on both sides of the hall stood silently, holding killing sticks. With the emperor watching, the air was filled with suffocating oppression.
Luo was barely able to speak, but she was still paralyzed. She was carried to the court on a stretcher by the yamen runners. Her limbs were stiff and her face was pale. She no longer had the dignity and generosity of the past, and she could only mutter about her grievances.
As for Li Che, as an official appointed by the imperial court, he still had some achievements and was able to stand to the side, but he pursed his lips tightly, his face was so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out, and he was obviously dissatisfied with being accused.
On the other hand, he comforted himself that the other party was just a commoner, while he was a noble Hanlin, his father-in-law was a cabinet minister, and his wife was the Princess of Chenhua County who had just been awarded by the court. He did not believe that the other party could bring him down.
Li Che didn't know that the one who helped Huaisheng and his wife plan to file a complaint with the emperor was his wife, the county lord. At this moment, he still acted arrogant and had a clear conscience.
Huaisheng couldn't hide his anger, "So it turns out you're a beast in human clothing!"
Seeing the true face of his father's murderer, Huaisheng could not remain calm. His eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rush over and tear him apart several times, but was stopped by his wife Agui.
The hatred for killing his father was irreconcilable. Huaisheng kept cursing and kicking, and his toes repeatedly hit the stretcher, which scared Luo Shi so much that she screamed.
Li Che's face looked grim, and his big hands hidden in his sleeves creaked.
Chu Yuanhe did not stop him. Instead, he said with interest behind the beaded curtain, "And what about Princess Chenhua? She is a member of Lord Li's family, but she wrote the petition on behalf of the victim, suing her husband and mother-in-law. I think she knows a lot about the inside story."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Che's calm mask finally showed a crack, and a strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
"The heir has certified Chen Hua County Master—"
The gavel slammed down on the table, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the door of the court.
Zhao Qingyi changed into the dark blue robe with embroidered phoenix and bird patterns bestowed by the emperor, wore pearls and jade on her head, and slowly walked into the court.
The midday sun slanted in from the high windows, casting a warm halo around her. She looked straight ahead and walked steadily. The nobility that emanated from her bones made the court, which had been noisy and chaotic a moment ago, instantly quiet down.
When passing by Li Che, Zhao Qingyi didn't even give him a glance, as if the person standing next to him was an insignificant stranger, which made Li Che's uneasy heart sink suddenly.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you all." She walked into the hall and bowed gracefully, neither humble nor arrogant.
Because of her special status, the Dali Temple Minister could not interrogate her rashly, so he cast a questioning look behind the pearl curtain.
The fake emperor Chu Tianba was feeling uneasy. With Chu Yuanhe around, it was not his turn to speak, so he simply handed over everything to Chu Yuanhe.
Chu Yuanhe happily "obeyed the order" and appeared in front of everyone. He winked at Zhao Qingyi subtly, "County Lady, you are a wife of the Li family and daughter-in-law of the Luo family, but you helped Liu Huaisheng file a complaint with the emperor. What evidence do you have?"
Li Che never thought that one day he would end up in court with his wife. Seeing her, he was still a little dazed, "Qingyi, you..."
He wanted to ask her why she did this, but Zhao Qingyi said leisurely, "My Lord, and you gentlemen, the reason I assisted Liu Huaisheng was because I had witnesses and evidence in my hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, two maids came in, dragging Luo Gui, who was tied up. Luo Gui had been imprisoned in Lanyue Pavilion before and suffered a lot of torture. Now he came to the court with trembling legs. No need to be asked, he confessed all his crimes first.
But every word he said pointed to Luo. Luo was the mastermind, and he was at most an accomplice. This was what Zhao Qingyi taught him. Only by explaining in this way could he fight for his own survival.
After hearing this, Luo, who was lying on the ground, was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "Unjust... Unjust! Unjust!"
Luo Gui saw his paralyzed sister and didn't feel guilty at all. "Sister, when you and your eldest nephew married into the Zhao family, you used your power to force me to do those dirty things for you. Have you forgotten everything?"
He is just a lazy ruffian who dares to say anything to survive.
Luo Shi was almost mad at him and cursed incoherently, "Nonsense... Nonsense!"
If I had known that this younger brother would not be able to achieve anything, I should not have worked with him in the first place!
Seeing his sister staring with her triangular eyes, her eyes bloodshot and looking as if she wanted to eat him, Luo Gui was terrified and quickly pulled out a stack of account books from his pocket. "This records every penny my sister has ever received. Some was bribed, some was loaned, and some was robbed from debt collectors... Anyway, every account can be verified!"
"Also, these IOUs are all signed with my sister's personal seal, and all the money went into her pocket. This has nothing to do with me. I hope the Lord of Heaven will see this clearly and clear my name!"
Luo Gui was eager to distance himself from the matter and betrayed his sister completely.
Now there is both human and material evidence.
“You…you…”
Luo was lying on the stretcher, speechless. As expected, he vomited blood again out of anger.
The onlookers sighed.
The physical evidence provided by Luo Gui was brought to the case, and Zhao Qingyi took the opportunity to present the private accounts he had accidentally obtained and the copies of the loan documents.
"I am here today to testify against my mother-in-law, Mrs. Luo, for colluding with her brother, Luo Gui, to lend money at high interest rates, harming civilians and disrupting the laws of the land. Secondly, I am exposing my husband, Li Che, for shielding his relatives, knowingly breaking the law, and betraying the Emperor's grace. Thirdly..."
She spoke each word with a resounding voice. After a pause, her eyes flickered across Li Che, whose expression suddenly changed. "... Third, I am suing Li Che for marriage fraud and defrauding money!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar. Not only were people outside the hall making a commotion, but even the presiding judge above was shocked.
"Shut up!"
Li Che, who had remained silent throughout, not even saying a word when his biological mother vomited blood, suddenly screamed, "Qingyi, why do we have to bring this family matter to court?"
The evidence for the first two crimes was conclusive and irrefutable. The reason why he could pretend to be calm and composed was because he understood his mother and knew that after Luo woke up, she would take all the blame on herself and remove him from it.
In the future, he would at most be charged with negligence and fined, but this third incident actually involved him. How could Li Che not be nervous and afraid?
"This is not a family matter!"
Zhao Qingyi spoke sternly, "You and I discussed our marriage in February of the seventh year of Dingxi, and we were married in April of the same year. However, during the discussion, you secretly became pregnant with my cousin Zhao Manyi, and then tricked me into marrying you. You then raised her in Lingnan, and we had a four-year-old child born out of wedlock. After returning to Beijing, you even attempted to adopt this child to me to confuse our bloodline!"
"Not only that, for all the years since we've been married, you and the Luo family have been conspiring to poison my food daily, waiting for my death so they can legitimately seize my dowry and use it for the enjoyment of your Li family and that illegitimate child! If this isn't marriage fraud, what else could it be?!"
Every word Zhao Qingyi said was like a pearl of wisdom, which hit Li Che hard and made his head go blank.
He originally thought that Zhao Qingyi was going to expose Li Jiao, but he never expected that Zhao Qingyi would actually reveal that he and Zhao Manyi had an affair and had a child!
He even knew about poisoning!
Everyone thought that Li Che and Zhao Manyi had an affair last year, and in the end it was just a romantic debt.
Now we know that they have been together for four years and have a son. The nature of the situation is completely different now.
Everyone was not stupid, and they understood the key point immediately. Li Che simply disliked Zhao Manyi's low social status. Besides having a good relationship with her, he also coveted Zhao Qingyi's dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels, so he tricked Zhao Qingyi, a noble lady, into marrying him.
"If you had been attracted to my cousin, you could have arranged a marriage with her. Why did you conceive with her and then, after pretending to be a legitimate daughter, marry me? Weren't you seeking support from the Zhao family and my dowry?"
"You are slandering me!"
Li Che couldn't pretend anymore and pointed at Zhao Qingyi's nose, "Everything needs evidence. Jun Ge'er was just adopted, he's not my son at all!"
Yes, as long as you don’t recognize Jun Ge’er, there is no marriage fraud, and it is even more impossible to defraud money and kill people!
"I only said that you and Zhao Manyi had a child born out of wedlock, but I didn't say that the child was Jun Ge'er." Facing his roar, Zhao Qingyi's expression did not fluctuate at all.
Li Che also realized that he had lost his composure.
His voice softened slightly. "Qingyi, I know you're dissatisfied with this marriage, thinking that I come from a poor family and am not worthy of you. But our marriage was arranged by our ancestors. I was only fulfilling the engagement and never intended to deceive you..."
In just a few words, he said that Zhao Qingyi was arrogant and looked down on him, and thus he accused him of a false crime.
Zhao Qingyi had already prepared a response to this. "You and I are engaged, but do you dare to say that you didn't have children before we got married? We've been married for barely four years now. Even if you took a concubine and had a child since then, the child wouldn't be older than four. Where did Jun'er come from?"
After saying this, Zhao Qingyi slammed a yellow book at Li Che's feet. "You said Jun'er was adopted, not your biological son. Then why did you allow the local officials in Lingnan to tamper with the yellow book after Jun'er was born? Do you dare to say that you don't feel guilty?"
How could she know so much about this?
Li Che looked horrified.
We can't let her continue talking!
"Zhao Qingyi, are you crazy? How can you speak nonsense and slander the court officials in the court!" Li Che pretended to rush over to cover her mouth.
Suddenly, two imperial guards stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders, and pinned him to the ground. He was still trying to argue, "Sir, to be honest, this Zhao and my mother are not on good terms, and because I took a concubine, she is jealous and resentful. Her actions are intended to tarnish the reputation of everyone in my Li family! Her words cannot be trusted!"
"You are an official appointed by the imperial court, but she is the Princess of Chenhua County, personally appointed by His Majesty!"
Chu Yuanhe lifted the curtain and walked to the front of the group, glancing at Li Che. "Besides, whether it is credible or not does not depend on who has an official position, but on who has the evidence."
Zhao Qingyi produced another confession. "Li Che, there's no need to quibble. The midwife who delivered the baby and the clerk who handled the matter all confessed, confirming that Jun'er was born to Zhao Manyi in Lingnan. It was you who registered the child under the name of a branch of the Li family, concealing Jun'er's identity as a child born out of wedlock and allowing him to be naturalized. And you still say this child isn't yours?"
The laws of Daliang do not accept the existence of children born out of wedlock, and Li Che had placed high hopes on this child, hoping that the child would pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future. He did not want to leave any stain, so he took great pains to do all this, and now it has all been exposed to the public by Zhao Qingyi.
Li Che's lips trembled constantly, and he said stubbornly, "No, Jun Ge'er is Zhao Manyi's son, but he is definitely not my child!"
Zhao Qingyi sneered, "The child is not yours, so why did you work so hard to do all this?"
Yeah, for what?
Li Che's body shook and trembled like a sieve.
At first, he really thought that Jun Ge'er was his and Zhao Manyi's child, but today, Zhao Manyi has a history of cheating on her husband, and he can no longer be sure whether Jun Ge'er is his bloodline.
"Anyway... Jun Ge'er is not my son!" Li Che continued to be stubborn.
Before, he was in pain because of Zhao Manyi's betrayal, but now he hoped that Zhao Manyi had been lying to him all along. In this way, he only needed to do a blood test to prove that Jun Ge'er had nothing to do with him, and then all the accusations made by Zhao Manyi against him could be overturned.
The yamen runner presented the yellow book and the confession together. The Dali Temple Minister carefully checked them and matched the time of Zhao Qingyi's marriage with Jun'er's birth date. After calculation, it was found that Jun'er was conceived before Li Che and Zhao Qingyi's wedding.
Now all the criticism is directed at Jun Ge'er.
Li Che was in a panic. Jun Ge'er... where did Jun Ge'er go? Oh, yes, he was driven away.
It's definitely not found. If it can't be found, there's no way to convict...
Li Che was still trying hard to comfort himself in his heart, but the person he least wanted to see was brought to court.
"Dad, Daddy..."
Jun Ge'er was brought in by the housekeeper. He was nervously clutching the corner of his clothes, looking embarrassed.
Li Che's face instantly turned pale. He pointed at Jun Ge'er with trembling fingers, "You... who asked you to come?"
Jun Ge'er was frightened by his ferocious face and shrank behind Zhao Qingyi.
After several misfortunes in the family, little Jun Ge deeply understood that his biological mother had ruined his life and his biological father hated him to the extreme. In the future, he could only rely on his stepmother, his nominal mother.
Since his mother needs him, he will step forward.
My mother said that she only likes honest children. Now that he has come forward to testify, my mother will treat him well in return, right?
Zhao Qingyi had been waiting for this day for too long. This was exactly the result she wanted. She wanted to expose everything in front of the people of the world and let Li Che also taste the pain of having his son stabbed.
"Brother Jun, tell me yourself, who have you been with in Lingnan for the past four years?"
Jun Ge'er was still young. Without Zhao Manyi to teach him to lie, and without Li Che, his biological father, to cover his mouth, he nodded honestly in response to Zhao Qingyi's question. "Yes... yes, with my mother and my father..."
"Who is your mother and who is your father?"
"My mother is my mother's third sister, and my father..."
More and more eyes were focused on him, especially Li Che, who almost wanted to tear him apart with his eyes.
Jun Ge'er trembled and stretched out his index finger, "My father is... it's him!"
There was a dead silence in the courtroom, and then there was an uncontrollable burst of discussion.
In fact, when Jun Ge'er first came out, everyone knew what was going on, because Jun Ge'er's facial features were too similar to Li Che's, as if they were carved from the same mold. That's why Li Che was suspicious and doubted the bloodline of his own son.
Li Che's last psychological defense completely collapsed. He pointed at Zhao Qingyi and Jun Ge'er, his eyes bloodshot, "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! I am not your father at all!"
"You're my dad!"
Having decided to throw everything at him, Jun Ge'er's face turned into tears as he howled, "I've lived with you for four years. You are my father!"
"Zhao Qingyi instigated all of this!" Li Che refused to admit it. "If you were my son, how could you possibly team up with outsiders to accuse me?"
"It's Daddy, you don't want mine first!"
Jun Ge'er felt wronged and burst into tears.
He is just a child, he doesn't understand anything, he just wants to cling to a life-saving straw, to someone who is willing to be kind to him and give him a bowl of rice.
Zhao Qingyi watched coldly and was about to laugh. She really didn't want to suppress her inner feelings anymore. She wanted to laugh so much.
A little kindness is repaid with a big grudge. So that's how it is. She was so good to Jun Ge'er in the beginning, raising him like his own son with all her heart. But just because she did something a little bit that didn't suit his wishes, he hated her and wished that his adoptive mother would die.
In this life, because Li Che questioned his bloodline, he denied the grace of his father's upbringing for the past four years, hated his father, and turned against him without hesitation.
She now looked at their family as if they were fools.
Presumably, when she was about to die in her previous life, Li Che, Zhao Manyi, and Jun Ge'er, the three of them, also viewed her in the same way.
Now the wheel of fate has come, and it is now the three of them who are being treated as fools and are now fighting each other.
"You evil creature! Evil creature!"
Li Che cursed Jun Ge'er, losing his usual gentle and polite pretense, leaving only hysterical anger, "Zhao Qingyi, you vicious woman! You deliberately set up a trap to harm me! You have such a cruel heart!"
