The banquet for the merchant ended that evening.
Shu Qingqing followed Qiao Mei's advice and deliberately leaked a fake address that belonged to her residence.
To be on the safe side, Shu Qingqing kept the live stream recording on her smart bracelet almost the entire time.
Shang Duojin was worried about her, so he specially rented a house near her fake residence.
The house and hers were almost adjacent; they could see each other from the balcony.
Meanwhile, the balcony was also visible to outsiders, so Shu Qingqing's mother staked out the area for two days to ensure she wasn't being tricked.
Once she confirmed that Shu Qingqing had been coming and going from this house for the past few days, her initial hesitation and doubts finally dissipated.
On the morning of the third day, taking advantage of the heavy rain and thick fog outside, and the scarcity of pedestrians on the street, she disguised herself as a tenant and showed him the identification button she had bought beforehand.
The security guard saw that although her attire was a bit strange, she did have an ID button, so he didn't suspect anything and let her in.
All of this was being monitored by Qiao Mei, who had access to the security room's surveillance system beforehand, and she was constantly reminding Shu Qingqing of the progress on her mother's side.
Shu Qingqing had made preparations well in advance.
In order to make it look more convincing when she met her mother later, she even pretended to be washing vegetables and preparing to cook.
After hearing the doorbell ring, she took a deep breath, picked up the wet kitchen knife in her hand, and went to open the door.
Who is it?
When Shu's mother saw the kitchen knife in Shu Qingqing's hand, she initially thought that Shu Qingqing had known in advance that she was coming and had prepared a tool for self-defense.
But when she smelled the cooking fumes coming from inside the house, she breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the thought.
After closing the door, she took off the hat and mask that were covering her hair and most of her face in front of Shu Qingqing, revealing her haggard old face with obvious dark circles under her eyes.
"Shu Qingqing, you're really something! To get rid of me, you actually dared to restrict my personal freedom!!"
As she spoke, Shu's mother reached out and tried to pull Shu Qingqing's hair as she had done before.
But Shu Qingqing was prepared. She quickly took a step back and looked at her with a shocked expression, saying, "How did you get here? This is Imperial Star!!"
Shu's mother's laughter was both wicked and furious:
"Of course I know this is Imperial Star. If it weren't for that mysterious person's help, I really wouldn't have known you'd managed to climb up to the Shang family! It's just a pity the Shang family is such a cheapskate! They're so rich, but they won't even lend me a little bit!!"
When Shu's mother brought up the matter, Shu Qingqing recalled hearing Shang Duojin's older sister talk about it in front of her a few days ago. Her face turned bright red instantly, whether from anger or because she felt ashamed to have such a mother.
"Shut up!! No matter how rich the Shang family is, it's still their money. I'm just Shang Duojin's fiancée now, and we're not even sure we'll actually get married. How dare you go to their family and even ask his sisters for money?!"
Pang Cuihong glared at Shu Qingqing and spat in front of her: "Pah! You idiot, since you've already let them sleep with you, what's wrong with me asking them for some interest? You're already protecting her before she's even officially married into the family. You're protecting her, but she might not even consider you a piece of trash!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes started darting around the room again.
"This house wasn't cheap, was it? Given the developer's financial resources, hasn't it already been bought for you? You...."
Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin's relationship was so pure that they hadn't even actually kissed. Hearing Pang Cuihong say such shameless things so brazenly, even though she couldn't see Shang Duojin's expression, she felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. She raised her voice to interrupt her:
"Pang Cuihong!!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Nothing has happened between Shang Duojin and me yet. This house is just a rental I'm looking for. And even if they bought it for me, it has nothing to do with you. I've severed all ties with you. You can't have a thing with me!!"
At first, Shu Qingqing was thinking about how to act more realistically so that Pang Cuihong wouldn't suspect anything.
Now, provoked by her shameless words, I don't even need to act anymore; I can just play myself.
"You ungrateful wretch! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, and you want to cut ties with me?!"
At this point, Pang Cuihong saw the kitchen knife still in Shu Qingqing's hand. Blinded by anger, she snatched it from her hand and made as if to chop at her.
"Want to cut ties? Easy! Give all the flesh of your body back to me!!"
As she spoke, she raised the kitchen knife and slashed at it.
After what happened earlier, when she tried to pull Shu Qingqing's hair but was avoided, she subconsciously felt that Shu Qingqing would definitely avoid it this time as well.
But to her surprise, when the cleaver reached her shoulder, Shu Qingqing appeared to be dodging, but in reality, she was actively moving closer to the blade, letting the cleaver strike her shoulder and causing blood to gush out.
Taking this opportunity, she brought her lips close to Pang Cuihong's ear and whispered, "If you want to completely cut ties, there's another way to make sure you can never escape again. Do you think the interstellar police would believe me if they saw this video and I told them you have mental illness and bipolar disorder?"
After saying that, Shu Qingqing fell to the ground in a sorry state, clutching her shoulder. She looked at the woman who belatedly realized what was happening and was now furious and about to attack her again. She quickly retreated and dialed the police.
The rented house was very close to the interstellar police station. Almost as soon as Shang Duojin learned about the situation and knocked on the door, the police arrived downstairs and walked upstairs fully armed.
The sound of police sirens made Pang Cuihong realize that something was seriously wrong.
She hurriedly tried to leave, still clutching the blood-stained kitchen knife in her hand.
But as soon as the door opened, it bumped into Shang Duojin, whose eyes were red with anxiety.
He saw the kitchen knife stained with Shu Qingqing's blood, and remembered the scene he saw on the surveillance footage of Pang Cuihong viciously slashing Shu Qingqing's shoulder. Anger welled up in his heart.
He kicked Pang Cuihong directly in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
At this time, the interstellar police also arrived at the scene one after another.
They glanced at the situation inside the room before quickly fixing their gaze on Pang Cuihong and subduing her.
Meanwhile, the medical staff who arrived also surrounded Shu Qingqing. Shang Duojin wanted to go forward to check on the situation, but he was stopped because he had kicked Pang Cuihong hard and needed to go over to cooperate with the investigation.
Seeing that everything was almost settled, Qiao Mei contacted Sister Shang Duojin and explained the situation to her.
After that, they boarded the spacecraft and headed straight for the interstellar police station.
Today, Shu Qingqing, this scumbag mother, will inevitably face the punishment of interstellar law.
They will never have the chance to cause trouble again.
But before that, it needs to be clarified who instructed her.
