Chapter 460 Warning to Aunt
Even if they knew it had nothing to do with their aunt and they didn't blame her, what about her? Would she blame herself? Could she continue to live in the Zhao Mansion with peace of mind? Most likely not.
If she wanted to leave, where could she go? What would happen to Yu Tao? What would happen to Hu Ling?
The more Zhao Liya thought about it, the angrier she became. These damn second and third wives were so cruel this time!
That’s right, they are using human lives as a raft, so what bottom line is there?
Zhao Liya was simply curious about who had died. The man had fallen to the ground, and neither she nor Chunfen had touched him. But as she thought about it carefully, he didn't look like a eunuch, nor a guard, nor a servant who waited on the guests. He looked more like a young man from an official family. Zhao Liya felt uneasy. Even if she had cut off the matter, she wouldn't be able to let it go.
Zhao Liya thought about it for a while and decided it would be better to tell her aunt. At least she would have some peace of mind. Otherwise, who knows what those two shameless, sinister and despicable aunts would do to scheme against her.
As for Mother, let's not talk about it for now. Mother is timid, don't let this scare her. Besides, she's not directly involved. Even if the two Zhou ladies wanted to use Mother, they would never be able to do it.
As for Dad, I'll talk to Zhou Hansheng about it later and then tell him.
In a flash, Zhao Liya had already made a plan.
"Aunt, let me say a few words to you!"
The first dragon boat race had ended amidst the intense sound of gongs and drums and a noisy and intense atmosphere. Everyone was discussing with each other excitedly. Widow Qu's eyes were shining as she talked to Mrs. Deng about the differences between the competitions they had seen in Lingnan in the past and today. She was still talking about it when she heard Zhao Liya calling her, and she went away with a smile.
Zhao Liya walked with her for a while and came to a place far away from the lake. The noisy sounds of gongs and drums over there seemed to be a layer of space far away. Zhao Liya dismissed the people guarding the surroundings and talked to Qu Guadi alone.
Widow Qu was so frightened after hearing the beginning that her legs went weak and she almost fell down. "How are you? Are you okay? How could they be so bold?"
Widow Qu was going crazy.
Zhao Liya hurriedly held her hand and smiled softly: "Aunt, don't panic, I'm fine here, right? If there is really any problem, how can I be fine! This matter is now handled by the prince. What is there to worry about with the prince's ability, aunt? I tell you this so that you can be prepared. If those two people come to you again, you should pay more attention."
"I know, I know!" Widow Qu nodded hurriedly, terrified. "If those two bastards come looking for me again, I won't pay any attention to them no matter what!"
"That's not necessary," Zhao Liya chuckled. "If they still have the nerve to look for you, just listen to whatever they say!"
Widow Qu also came back to her senses, "Yes, yes, I'm listening, I must listen to every word!" Then she told her.
Zhao Liya laughed again and said, "However, I'm afraid they won't look for my aunt anymore. I'm afraid they will hide when they see her."
They used Widow Qu as a pawn, originally intending to severely rip off Zhao Liya and the Zhao family, and even the Duke of Liguo and his son, but their plan was aborted only halfway through. They even denied in front of Zhao Liya that they had asked Widow Qu to call them. If Zhao Liya used this against Widow Qu, they would be exposed.
So, how strong must their nerves be to have the nerve to go to Qu Guafu? Or, are they so confident that Qu Guafu is so easy to deceive?
Widow Qu sneered: "If they don't come to find me, I will have to go find them! You hurt me so much, you hurt me so much, you want me to be too ashamed to see you again!"
Widow Qu's voice trembled and her eyes were wet.
She was really scared.
If Zhao Liya hadn't been smart and decisive enough to take such a risk in that situation! If Chunfen hadn't been lucky enough to invite Zhou Hansheng over just in time, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
Zhao Liya moved her lips, but finally swallowed the words she was about to say.
Well, her good second aunt and good third aunt really cheated her badly, and her aunt was also cheated by them. If she didn't let her aunt vent her anger, it would be too unfair.
Anyway, given my aunt's temperament and background, even if she beat someone up in Beiyuan, with the Zhao family helping to explain and excuse her, who could say anything? Unsatisfied? Just hold it in!
So Zhao Liya just reminded her, "Aunt, please think carefully before you act. They are very cunning. Aunt, please don't let them trick you into going to some remote and deserted place."
Widow Qu rubbed her hands together and said with a cold smile, "Don't worry, Aya, I won't believe a word they say anymore, so they can't fool me!"
"Well, anyway, auntie, be careful!"
Zhao Liya comforted Widow Qu again, telling her not to dwell on what happened today. No matter what happened in Lihua Pavilion, it had nothing to do with her or them! They weren't the ones who committed the crime! She also told her not to reveal the matter to her mother, as it had no direct or indirect connection to her. If Widow Qu hadn't been involved, she wouldn't even have told her.
Widow Qu naturally understood what he meant. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't misunderstand anything! If I couldn't even tell good from evil, I wouldn't have followed you to the capital!"
Zhao Liya also smiled and said, "I know my aunt is a sensible person!"
The two of them talked and went back.
The second dragon boat race started with great vigour. Everyone was in high spirits and beaming with joy. They waved their hands and laughed and shouted by the lake. The atmosphere was extremely lively and warm.
But no one could have imagined that in the Pear Blossom Pavilion not far away, a young man was bleeding all over the ground and fell in a pool of blood forever.
Zhou Hansheng ordered his men to guard outside the Pear Blossom Pavilion, and he led two trusted men inside.
When the deceased was turned over, Zhou Hansheng's eyelids jumped violently. He didn't know this person at first, and this person was not worthy of knowing him, but because of Concubine Mi, he had to pay attention to this family.
This person is actually the eldest son of the Mi family and Concubine Mi’s nephew!
This is a big deal!
Zhou Hansheng suddenly broke out in cold sweat and had a terrible headache.
He was secretly thankful for his wife's quick wit and decisiveness! If she hadn't stopped the group in time, and if Chunfen hadn't quickly found him, once the group found out, it would have exploded like thunder in the clear sky!
