"Nonsense! In broad daylight, who would want to kill you?"
It seems Song Ruier is about to fabricate some excuse to swindle money and sympathy from them.
Old Master Chu also looked indifferent: "Have you caused trouble? Have you offended someone?"
Seeing the two elders' attitudes were completely different from before, Song Ruier immediately understood that Qiao Lian'er had told them everything.
That bitch, she really won't let him get away with this!
But he wouldn't let her get away with it so easily. The Chu family elders were also his maternal grandparents, and Qiao Lian'er couldn't possibly sever their ties.
He put on a pitiful look, his eyes filled with tears: "Grandpa, Grandma, Rui'er is all alone and helpless. Some people just want to bully me. I haven't provoked them and I live cautiously, but they just can't tolerate me."
"Moreover, I am good at studying, and I will have no problem passing the imperial examinations to become a scholar or a provincial graduate in the future. Therefore, they want me to die so as to reduce their competitive pressure."
This was the reason he had thought of on the way. First, he would say that he was good at studying, so that the Chu family elders would place their hopes on him. Second, because of this, he would attract jealousy, which would arouse the elders' anger, so that they would protect him no matter what.
Seeing Song Ruier so trembling with fear in her eyes, the two elders of the Chu family couldn't help but soften for a moment. However, thinking of his past actions, they realized he was a heartless and wicked person, and they absolutely could not be deceived by him.
"Is that really the reason?" Old Master Chu stared at Song Ruier, as if he could see right through her.
Song Ruier felt uneasy under such a gaze and dared not look directly at her, but she knew she couldn't show weakness at this moment.
He assured her immediately: "It's true. If you don't believe me, Grandpa, go ask at the school. When I first came to town to study, I was at the bottom of the class, but now I'm at the front. The teacher even praised me for my great progress."
"Just in the last two days, they suddenly wanted to kill you?"
Song Ruier didn't know why Grandpa Chu was asking this, and said, "Yes, they just revealed their intentions, so I was scared and came to find Grandpa as soon as possible to save my life."
Old Master Chu pondered for a moment: "You should stay at a nearby inn first. I'll send two people to keep watch, and we'll discuss the matter further once I've determined the cause."
Song Ruier was shocked. Her grandfather wouldn't let her live in the house?
Hatred surged within him; it was all Qiao Lian'er's fault that the Chu family elders held a prejudice against him.
That bitch is always blocking his way.
"But, but I want to be with Grandpa and Grandma, I miss you too," Song Ruier said, her head down.
Women are generally more soft-hearted. He tugged at Old Madam Chu's sleeve and shook it gently, trying to find a way to break through her.
"Grandma, please don't leave Rui'er behind. Rui'er is so scared to be all alone."
Old Madam Chu sighed. If she hadn't known about Song Ruier's crimes, she probably would have wanted to hold her in her arms right now.
However, she could not tolerate those who hurt Nier and Lian'er.
Being kind to Song Ruier is being cruel to her daughter and granddaughter.
"Go stay at the inn first. There are guards there, and no one can touch you."
Now, the two elders of the Chu family need to determine whether Song Ruier's pursuit at this critical juncture is related to the matter with Qiao Lian'er.
Having been granted the title of County Princess, Qiao Lian'er celebrated at the Qiao family home and was also going to Yuezhou to reunite with her parents.
Song Ruier's school is right next to the street, and every time I pass by, I can see his classroom.
Qiao Lian'er glanced inside subconsciously, but Song Rui'er was nowhere to be seen.
Was he dealt with by the Qiao family in the capital?
In the eyes of the Qiao family in the capital, it was as if Song Ruier had tricked them and conveyed false information to them, and they would not let it go easily.
