Chapter 245 The Qin Family’s Intentions
Chen Fenghe looked at Chen Wu and explained, "Master Chen, it's not that my mother-in-law is making trouble. It's just that the weather has been cold these past two days and my mother-in-law has caught a cold. It's inconvenient for her to get out of bed. Plus, the three little ones are also asleep, so my mother-in-law didn't come out..."
Before he finished speaking, two coughs were heard from the room, followed by Qin Mengyue's voice: "Feng He, are you sleeping outside?"
When everyone heard the voice, they couldn't help but look at Qian Qiuyun.
Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but look at Chen Fenghe in surprise.
The voice just now was indeed that of the Queen Mother, but... the Queen Mother was clearly... how could she be in the room?
Chen Fenghe said to the room: "Mother, nothing is wrong, you can continue to sleep."
After a while, a "hmm" response came from the room.
Qian Qiuyun stared at Chen Fenghe in astonishment, and suddenly rushed in like a madman: "Impossible! I don't believe it! Qin Mengyue must have escaped, and the person inside is someone else pretending to be her... Ugh!"
Chen Fenghe no longer indulged her. She stretched out her hand and pushed her to the ground, saying coldly, "Qian Qiuyun, I see that you are older, and I have given you enough face. If you still can't get rid of it, you can't blame me!"
Chen Wu and Yuan Xun also came to their senses and immediately ordered the officers to arrest the frantic Qian Qiuyun. They said sternly, "Ms. Qian, you have repeatedly slandered and defamed Madam Qin and Madam Shen, ruining their reputations. I'm afraid that if I spared you this time, no one would agree. Drag her out to the yard and give her thirty lashes! Remember to gag her! Don't disturb her sweet dreams!"
After hearing this, the officer who was escorting Qian Qiuyun immediately blocked Qian Qiuyun's mouth with a dirty cloth and dragged her to the backyard of the inn to whip her without any explanation.
Chen Fenghe glanced at everyone. Other members of the Qin family, such as Liu Cui, Qian Qiuyun's daughter-in-law Li Guihua, Liu Cui's son Qin Chang, and daughter-in-law Sun Shulan, had never spoken for Qian Qiuyun from beginning to end. Now they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being vented on their anger and being whipped by the officials.
Chen Fenghe's heart moved and his brows couldn't help but frown.
All the women of the Qin family were there, but among the men, except Qin Chang, the other three, Qin Jinzhong, Qin Lizheng and Qin Jian, were nowhere to be found.
Chen Fenghe looked at Chen Wu and asked, "Master Chen, Madam Qian just now kept saying that my mother-in-law had escaped. Does that mean she's gone away just because she's nowhere to be seen? If that's the case, I wonder where Qin Jinzhong, Qin Lizheng, and Qin Jian are? How come none of them were there when Qian Qiuyun was punished? I'm afraid...she really ran away, right?"
When Chen Wu heard this, he looked at the people around him one by one, but he found that only Qin Jinzhong and three others were missing.
Yuan Xun was shocked and said immediately, "Boss! This is bad! Could it be that the Qin family is using a trick to deceive people, asking Qian Qiuyun to come out and make a noise, so as to create an opportunity for the three people to escape during the chaos?
"How ridiculous! Yuan Xun, you must immediately tell the shopkeeper to go and get the brothers to go find them immediately! We can't let them escape!"
Chen Fenghe frowned slightly, but was thinking of another possibility.
Qin Mengyue’s disappearance is probably related to Qin Jinzhong and three others!
Along the way, Qin Jinzhong wanted to get back the letter of severance more than once!
Women in ancient times had few human rights. Even though Qin Mengyue once had a prominent status, once she became a prisoner, the men in her family would tacitly agree if they wanted to sell her.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for large families that declined to sell their wives and daughters.
So, could it be that Qin Jinzhong secretly abducted Qin Mengyue while she was not in the room?
