Chapter 17 Kill Her
As long as he agrees to open the box for inspection now, I'm afraid that tomorrow his notorious reputation of being concerned about his ex-wife's dowry and deliberately making things difficult will spread throughout the capital.
"Mother, I personally stood in the Qingyi Courtyard and watched them carry out the boxes of Xun Jiang's dowry one by one. There is absolutely no mistake."
Xun Chen snorted coldly, turned around and held the old lady's hand, with an obvious hint in his tone.
The old lady was anxious. She tried to dissuade him, but was choked by Xun Chen's shaking head.
Bai Qingyi was shocked watching from the side.
She hurried forward and stood in front of Jiang Qingning who was about to leave. The moment the latter looked up, Bai Qingyi gently began to persuade him.
"Miss Jiang just said that if I wrongly accused you, I would promise you something. Now I never thought that there would be such a misunderstanding. It turned out that this cunning servant was just casually biting the master."
Tell your wish quickly, Jiang Qingning. Let your cousin see your despicable thoughts and your desire to stay with him. Let your cousin hate you again.
Jiang Qingning nodded after being reminded: "Thank you, Madam Bai, for reminding me. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."
Xun Chen was comforting the old lady. When he heard her words, he turned around and frowned, "You actually made a request to mother?"
He had really been wrong in the past eight years. He thought that even if Xun Jiangshi had a bad character, she was at least an honest person. Unexpectedly, she was exactly the same as those vulgar people.
"The old lady can use the servant's random criticism to falsely accuse me of stealing the property in the mansion.
If I don't take advantage of this situation to make my own demands, does that mean I'm really guilty and confirm their suspicions?"
Jiang Qingning looked at him sideways, feeling disgusted in his heart.
Was she madly in love with such a filthy thing in the past?
She endured eight years of cold treatment just for this kind of trash?
She quit! Whoever wants to do it can do it!
Bai Qingyi successfully caused a dispute between the two, and retreated behind the old lady, hiding her achievements and fame.
Jiang Qingning did not miss Bai Qingyi's little trick, but he had already wasted too much time today. He would deal with her next time!
"Tell me what you want. No matter what you want, don't even think about coming back to me..."
Xun Chen waved his sleeves and looked at Jiang Qingning with cold eyes.
His voice was interrupted. Jiang Qingning pointed at Zi Fu and said, "I want her, this treacherous servant who betrayed her master. Her indenture is in my hands anyway. Earl Anping will not disagree, right?"
Xun Chen was stunned, quite confused.
Why didn't Jiang Qingning take this opportunity to ask for his return?
Too many jokes have been made today. As long as Jiang Qingning asked to come back to him, he could easily resolve everything outside the mansion, but Jiang Qingning did not.
With her all-seeing eyes, she seemed to see the meanness in his bones.
Jiang Qingning chuckled, and Xun Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he was on fire.
"This wicked servant dared to bite back at her master. Naturally, I cannot leave her with Lord Anping, lest Lord Anping be hurt in the future and become my fault."
Jiang Qingning walked in front of Zi Fu and looked down at her condescendingly.
Zi Fu suddenly remembered her indenture contract, which seemed to be still in Jiang Qingning's hand.
With just one word from Jiang Qingning, she would be doomed. Whether she was sold back to the human traffickers or sent to a brothel, she would have no good days.
Zi Fu felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She trembled all over and kowtowed for mercy, revealing everything.
"Miss, I didn't mean to bite you. It was the old lady and Mrs. Bai who said that as long as I bite you when you leave the house,
If I can take this dowry out of the dowry box, I will have done a great deed and can become your concubine. I didn't want this to happen originally, but they kept forcing me with threats and bribes!"
Jiang Qingning walked forward curiously, took the night pearl that Zi Su was holding up tremblingly, turned around and walked in front of Xun Chen, glancing at the old lady present.
"Is this the treasure the old lady was talking about? Oh, it's truly a rare item, something I've never seen before."
Xun Chen turned around in disbelief and looked at his mother and cousin who had stabbed him in the back.
Others may think that this night pearl is valuable, but as Jiang Qingning's husband, how could he not know that when Jiang Qingning first came to Anping Marquis' Mansion, the night pearl was placed by her bedside day and night.
This thing is really not a treasure to Jiang Qingning.
"Mother, cousin, can you give me an explanation?" Xun Chen felt the strange looks of the people around him, his ears filled with their harsh accusations, and his face looked very ugly.
Jiang Qingning sneered in her heart. Xun Chen finally empathized with her. It was true that one would never feel pain unless the needle pricked oneself!
When the people below heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it:
"How could the Anping Marquis's Mansion be so hypocritical?"
"On the surface, he appears to be upright, but in reality, he even plots to take his daughter-in-law's dowry. None of the servants respect their master."
"The wife of the Marquis of Anping is truly foolish. She even interferes in her son's bedroom affairs. No wonder her daughter-in-law wants a divorce."
"Once this gets out, who would be willing to marry into their family in the future?"
The old lady and Xun Chen's faces were full of black lines, and they were still unclear about something at this moment.
Jiang Qingning deliberately stirred up public opinion to ruin the reputation of the Anping Marquis' Mansion and them!
"You bad woman, you are not allowed to bully Aunt Qingyi and Grandmother. Zifu is my eldest maid, and you are the one who has the most power!"
Xun Moli rushed out with the master's ruler, raising his hand to swing at Jiang Qingning, his chubby little face full of anger, as if he had seen his mortal enemy.
Jiang Qingning raised his gauze-wrapped hand and grasped the ruler, his palm burning with pain.
Xun Moli was truly her good son, and he showed no mercy when he attacked.
Bai Qingyi stood in the dark, a smug smile on her lips, and nodded secretly to the maid behind Xun Moli, feeling extremely proud.
Her three years of painstaking brainwashing were worth it. Xun Moli now hated Jiang Qingning to death and would never be willing to see her again.
“Bang!”
A crisp slap was heard, and Xun Moli was hit and turned his head away. Faint slap marks gradually appeared on his fair little face, shocking everyone present.
"How dare you! I am your biological mother no matter what, Xun Moli. How dare you lay hands on your biological mother?"
Xun Moli was stunned, tears instantly filled his eyes. He looked at Jiang Qingning in disbelief, and burst into tears with his lips trembling.
“Wuwuwu…Daddy, Grandma, this bad woman hit Li Qiye…Kill her quickly, wuwuwu…”
Jiang Qingning felt a chill in her heart. She had been too soft-hearted in the past three months, which was why Xun Moli acted so recklessly that he even said he would kill his own mother.
"My dear grandson! Your mother is so cruel. She actually dared to treat you so harshly!"
The old lady of the Anping Earl's eyes turned, with an expression of great heartache. She pulled the crying Xun Moli into her arms and comforted him while he cried.
