This butler won't admit defeat until he's faced with the truth. Shen Jiaojiao was a little annoyed: "Don't give me any more nonsense!"
The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he began to sob, "Waaah... I just want to live, waaah, if you had just said one word to let me live, I would have said it right away!"
"Waaaaah, all you do is bully me... I'm suffering so much... I'm being beaten up and you won't let me live..."
So this guy was just dawdling around trying to negotiate with her!
"Alright, tell me what you know first, and I'll see if it's of any use."
Sure enough, as soon as the butler heard there was an opportunity, he immediately changed his attitude and became more proactive.
"Actually, finding out about this was an accident. I'm over forty now, but when I came to the Liu family, I was only a teenager, a handsome young man. Back then..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!!!" Shen Jiaojiao shouted angrily.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's here. That night, I accidentally saw a white figure enter the Liu family head's room when I got up."
"Patriarch Liu strictly follows the schedule at night, sleeping with a woman every night to reproduce, so he shouldn't be there at that time."
As I approached, intending to see who it was, I discovered that the head of the family was in the room that day. The person went into the room and quickly closed the door.
I was about to leave when the candlelight shone on the window and revealed a tall man slapping the short head of the household, which startled me.
I don't know where I got the courage, but I went around to the back of that room and crouched down under the window to eavesdrop.
I just happened to hear the woman's voice.
"Useless thing. I told you long ago that close relatives shouldn't marry, or they'll give birth to idiots. You're a dog that can't change its nature. Look at your sister with her white hair, and you're a dwarf. It's all your parents' fault."
"If you want a normal child, you can only find another woman. There's a 50% chance that a normal woman will give birth to a normal child. Look at the children you and your sister have had, which one of them is normal?"
"You're either an idiot or a monster! If you want to continue like this, find a time to kill your sister!"
The head of the Liu family did not resist at all when he was beaten, and looked timid and pleaded in a low voice, "No... I don't want to kill her!"
The woman said coldly, "Choose one. You can only choose between the child and your sister. Don't force me to take action."
The head of the Liu family was extremely saddened, and his voice was somewhat hoarse: "Alright, I understand, I will take action myself."
Seeing that he had agreed, the woman continued with satisfaction, "Chu Batian only has one child in his life, and that child is destined to die young. As long as you listen to me, the Liu family descendants will enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future."
After being persuaded by the woman, the head of the Liu family was even more excited.
Later, a female cat in heat appeared out of nowhere and started meowing at me.
I was startled and quickly left.
Shen Jiaojiao never expected that a casual question would yield so much information.
She sat on the stool, lost in thought. It seemed that the explosives underneath might be related to that mysterious woman.
Moreover, this Liu family head seems to be just a minor monster; the real monster is still hiding in the shadows.
Do you know who that woman is?
The butler shook his head: "How would I know? The person was wrapped in a white robe and I couldn't see anything. Besides, I was hiding outside and could only hear them talking."
Shen Jiaojiao noticed that he seemed very serious, and wondered if he believed what he was saying.
"Looks like this is useless!" she pressed on.
The butler looked up, his face displeased, his mind racing, and he blurted out, "It's useful! It's useful!"
"What use are you now? Tell me quickly."
The butler said somewhat uncertainly, "You know that Hangzhou is a very wealthy place, and the people who come here are very diverse. I think the woman's voice sounds a bit like that of someone from the Kingdom of Women."
This was the first time Shen Jiaojiao had ever heard of the Kingdom of Women.
"Where is this place? I've never heard of it before."
Upon hearing that there was hope, the butler's tone brightened, and his face showed anticipation.
"Oh, so the Kingdom of Women is just what they call it in private. Actually, it's a small city, I think it's called the Southwest Kingdom."
It wasn't originally called that. It's mainly because it's famous for its beautiful women; every woman from there is beautiful, so it's called the Kingdom of Women.
"That country is a bit strange. There are very few men and a lot of women. Women are respected. There isn't much news about them. The woman in the white robe speaks with the same accent as the people there, so she must be from there."
This adds another piece of information; I'll have to find out what's going on with this Women's Kingdom when I get the chance.
"Alright, you can go now!"
The butler hurriedly asked, "I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. I shouldn't be dying now, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao laughed: "No need, don't worry, I won't let you die!"
The butler was overjoyed; they were safe now, and all my three hours of talking had been worth it.
Of course he didn't know that after he left, Shen Jiaojiao arranged for him to work in a coal mine. He wouldn't die in this life, but to live, he had to work.
Chu Tianling had arrived long ago, but he stood silently outside the door for three hours.
He was also very curious. They hadn't even exchanged many words, so how did the butler automatically tell her so much information?
As soon as Shen Jiaojiao appeared, he immediately went over and hugged her. Although they were very close just now, he always felt unsafe not holding her in his arms.
"Jiaojiao, what did you do just now? How come he told you so readily?"
Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I'll teach you a little trick!"
Once the Liu family matter is settled, they plan to return to the capital first. The matter of Chu Tianyang and Consort Liu still needs to be decided by the Emperor.
So this time, I brought Chu Tianyang and his wife with me when I went back.
Zhou Tianqi escorted them on their return journey in a grand procession. After only three days, they received a letter from the capital.
Shen Jiaojiao, now dressed in women's clothing, sat in the carriage, leaning against Chu Tianling's chest.
Chu Tianling held the letter without saying a word for a long time.
Shen Jiaojiao asked him, "What did the letter say?"
Chu Tianling said, "Father told us to hurry back, saying that an envoy from the Southwest Kingdom is coming, and this time it will be their eldest princess."
Shen Jiaojiao thought for a moment: "Isn't this the Kingdom of Women? I heard it's full of beautiful women."
Chu Tianling threw the letter aside, hugged the person, and kissed them several times: "Whether they are beautiful or not has nothing to do with me, I only love you."
Shen Jiaojiao misspoke: "I didn't say it had anything to do with you, I just like it!"
Hehehe, this girl is so pretty and has such a lovely, soft appearance. Just looking at her makes me want to eat two more bowls of rice.
Chu Tianling immediately felt a dislike for those women he hadn't met yet; they were nothing but seductive vixens!
snort!
He kept his thoughts to himself, but held the person even tighter in his arms.
As long as I hold on tight, no one can take my darling away.
