Chapter 325 I am Leaf Grass
What they saw inside the door left everyone stunned.
Liu Shishu, who had rushed over, was about to say a few words of advice when he heard a scream coming from inside.
Her mother lay unconscious on the ground, her clothes disheveled, while an ugly man with something growing on his back moved on top of her...
"ah--"
Someone screamed again.
Liu Zhongyuan quickly reacted, "Guards, show them out! How dare this lowly servant commit adultery in the mistress's room! Arrest them both!"
The guests didn't dare to say a word; they all ran away faster than rabbits.
Her figure and shoes were clearly those of a lowly maidservant; she was none other than Cui, the mistress of the Liu family.
"Madam, Madam!"
The old woman realized what was happening and, as if possessed, knelt down on the disgusting man.
The man lying on top of Cui laughed loudly when he saw someone coming, and soon after, he vomited blood and died.
Cui Shi, lying on the ground, was disheveled, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom, radiant with spring.
Liu Wenshu glanced around and, seeing that Lü'er was not there, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Where are they?
Just as he was about to step inside, Liu Zhongyuan grabbed him, his face grim. "If you don't want to die, leave now!"
With such a scandal involving the Cui family's daughter, the Cui family will not let this go easily.
Even though the aristocratic families appear to be suppressed by Prince Jing, many people will still die, even if it's just for the sake of the Cui family's reputation.
Liu Wenshu did not insist on going in. He searched around the mansion and finally found the person near the latrine.
"Greenie, are you alright?"
How did they get here? Weren't they taken away by the Cui family?
Green wiped her hands. There was nothing on them, but they felt dirty. Ah... no, they were stained with blood.
At this moment, Liu Wenshu looked up expressionlessly.
“Young Master Liu, my name is not Greenie, my name is Leaf Grass, the grass of the roadside weeds.”
In an instant, Liu Wenshu felt his soul tremble.
...
...
"What did you say? My second sister has been found?"
Just as Ye Wan was about to return to Jingzhou City, Hui Gu came to deliver a message.
"Yes, the message has arrived; it was delivered by Young Master Liu."
Huigu arrived with a gust of cold wind, and she was holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"However, things are a bit troublesome right now..."
Huigu gave a brief account of Cui's situation.
Ye Wan never expected that her second sister, whom she had never met before, would be so ruthless. As soon as she appeared, she killed the wife of the Minister of Personnel, who was also a member of the Cui family of Qinghe.
"Aunt, send someone away immediately to take my second sister away. Find a corpse to replace her temporarily, and tell everyone that Greenie is dead."
Lin Anyuan stood up. "Wanwan, you just sit here quietly. Leave this matter to me."
"good."
With Lin Anyuan taking charge, Ye Wan felt much more at ease.
Lin Anyuan left, and Ye Wan sat down and began to think about her second sister.
In her memory, he seemed to be a taciturn person, but also competitive. He once gave the original owner a piece of candy, but as for the rest, she seemed to... not quite remember.
"Mother, we've found Second Aunt?" Er Ya overheard this from the side.
"Found it."
"I never expected that the person would be at the Liu family's house."
Ye Wan promised Ye Hua she would look for him, and she really did. She found out he was in Beijing, but she didn't expect him to be at the Liu family's house.
Liu Wenshu had a connection with the Liu family. If they had found out about it earlier, things might not have escalated to this point.
"Wanwan, your second sister is ruthless. She doesn't seem to be as gentle as your eldest sister. Are you going to do something about her?"
Aunt Cai was shocked.
It wasn't some random cat or dog that died, nor was it an ordinary person.
The Cui family women are renowned not only because of the Cui family's power and influence, but also because every daughter of the Cui family who marries out is inextricably linked to the family. The family provides resources to help their daughters gain a foothold in their husbands' families.
The noblewomen of aristocratic families were respected because each had their own unique purpose.
Liu Zhongyuan, who was a promising official and Minister of Personnel at the time, naturally married a daughter from the Cui family.
“For the sake of our past relationship, I will save her this time. If she is good and willing to acknowledge me as her sister, then I will naturally treat her well in return. We sisters should support each other. If she has ulterior motives, then she can live her own life from now on.”
Ye Wan was optimistic. With her current status and position, as long as Prince Jing wanted to use her, she could rely on him. As long as Prince Jing lived, her future was secure.
Ye Wan felt a surge of excitement when she thought about the child in Lin Suyi's belly. How beautiful the child would be when it was born!
“You’re right. I was just being overly concerned, afraid you’d be upset.” Aunt Cai smiled, her eyes narrowing. “It’s up to the Liu family to handle this.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a maidservant arrived from outside.
It was Lu'er, who was by Ye Wan's side. She had brought her along today. "Madam, there are rumors going around that the matriarch of the Liu family has that kind of... that kind of..."
Aunt Cai opened her eyes wide. "You silly girl, how come he can't even tell you what's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"The matriarch of the Liu family had that kind of illness, and she liked to sleep with the groom... She took an overdose of medication and died suddenly!"
Lu'er stamped her foot, and her face turned red as she finished speaking.
Aunt Cai clicked her tongue and said, "That's a really ruthless move, cutting off the enemy's supply lines. What's the reason? How did they offend her? Is she not planning to live?"
"Go back to Jingzhou first. At this critical juncture, pretend you know nothing."
The bigger the commotion became, the angrier Cui became.
Ye Wan nodded, "Of course I don't know anything. It was the Liu family who died, what does it have to do with me?"
That very night, she set off back to Jingzhou.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay, but that Aunt Cai wouldn't let her.
As long as Ye Wan stays, people will visit under various pretexts. At this critical juncture, it is not appropriate to let anyone come to visit.
The next morning.
Ye Wan had just arrived home and changed her clothes when Lin Anyuan brought her back.
"You are... Little Sister?"
Ye Cao looked at the completely unfamiliar woman in front of her and could hardly believe it.
Before Ye Wan could speak, Ye Hua excitedly spoke up.
"Grass!"
"You are grass!"
"Big sister!" Leaf Grass was stunned when she saw Leaf Flower. "What are you doing here?"
She had barely uttered her name when Young Master Liu, looking utterly shocked, dragged her out the door.
When she was led to see this excessively handsome man, she thought he was from the Cui family and was about to throw caution to the wind and curse him before she died.
Unexpectedly, this person was none other than the renowned General Lin.
Before she could even figure out what was going on, or why General Lin had come to see her.
Could it be that the crime she committed was too serious?
Then she was brought here. Since Young Master Liu has found her family, why hasn't he revealed a single word to her?
"Grass, I've finally found you! You've suffered so much all these years, sob sob sob..."
Ye Hua hugged the person tightly and burst into tears.
