Chapter 42: Framed? Slap her twice!
"It's incomprehensible." Su Luo showed calm contempt.
What kind of low-level frame-up drama is Li Jiaojiao playing again?
Li Jiaojiao's maid Dongyan was holding the baby boy, while Shaoyao mixed in with them, trying to reduce her presence. While guarding Li Jiaojiao, she approached the bed.
Qingxue, who was watching with her arms folded, leaned slightly against the window and winked at Qingya.
Qingya nodded slightly and stood behind Shaoyao like a ghost.
Shaoyao was unaware of this and quickly threw something into the quilt, then nodded slightly to Li Jiaojiao.
She thought she had done everything perfectly, but she didn't expect that in front of the martial arts masters Qingxue Qingya, she was just showing off her skills.
Qingxue quietly took out the thing again. When she looked at it, it turned out to be a green wooden box the size of a palm. When she unscrewed it, there was medicine inside.
It was not a good thing, so Qing Xueping concentrated and threw it back into Shaoyao's side pocket.
Li Jiaojiao said worriedly, "Hurry up and ask Madam and the Crown Prince to come over and tell them that the Crown Prince's Consort attacked Sister Nan."
What an idiot, Su Luo thought.
"I wanted to take a break, but I didn't expect someone to come and cause trouble. Yunran, don't just stand there, help me tie my hair." Su Luo stretched her stiff neck.
"Okay, young lady, what kind of bun do you want?" Yun Ran glanced at Li Jiaojiao, then smiled at Su Luo and said, "The Imperial City is holding the Flower Festival these days, and there is also a night market. Why don't you tie your hair into a bun and go to the night market later?"
Li Jiaojiao, holding Nan Jie'er, glared at the master and servant with anger that could not be concealed!
What was going on? Seeing Nan Jieer, who had fallen ill and whom she had brought in, shouldn't Su Luo be shocked and panicked, eager to explain? Why was she still acting like this?
When she heard a few more hurried footsteps outside the yard, Li Jiaojiao was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she almost trembled as she said, "Sister-in-law, how could you harm my daughter!"
Here it comes, here it comes again, it’s already started, it’s really annoying.
Su Luo frowned and picked up the ink, gently hooked the ends of her eyebrows, and drew an arc at the end of her eyes, making her peach blossom eyes look pure and lustful, so beautiful that it made people trance-like. Through the bronze mirror, Su Luo saw Li Jiaojiao staring at her face, her face distorted with jealousy.
"Envy, jealousy, and hatred?" Su Luo curled her lips and put the Luozidai back into the box. "Then you can be envious and jealous as much as you want."
"You, you you you——"
Li Jiaojiao felt deeply powerless, like hitting a rock with an egg, unable to cause any ripples in Su Luo's heart.
In other words, Su Luo didn't take her seriously at all and treated her as a jumping clown. This feeling of extreme contempt made Li Jiaojiao furious and she became more and more angry. Why did Su Luo look down on her!
The moment Zhou Yan and Li Ziyan hurried into the yard, Li Jiaojiao acted like a mother who was anxious and confused. Because the child was sick, no matter how anxious the mother was, it was forgivable.
So Li Jiaojiao rushed forward and slapped Su Luo, using all her strength, as if to vent all the resentment she had accumulated over the past few days: "Before sister-in-law held Nanjie'er, Nanjie was fine. After you held her, Nanjie became unwell."
Su Luo grabbed her wrist with her left hand and slapped Li Jiaojiao with her right hand: "Sister, I am your sister-in-law! How can a sister hit her sister-in-law?"
"Pa" the slap was loud, Li Jiaojiao looked shocked, and even her head was slightly tilted!
"You hit me? How dare you hit me! After you hugged Sister Nan, she broke out in a rash all over her body! No one except you hugged Sister Nan tonight!"
Li Jiaojiao rushed over and started to wrestle with Su Luo!
Su Luo secretly spat in her heart: Low level!
She grabbed Li Jiaojiao's hair, slammed her against the table, and scolded her, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and today, I will teach you a lesson!"
Su Luo slapped her on the left cheek again, looked at Li Jiaojiao's face, which was swollen to the same height on both sides, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, it's symmetrical now."
"...Su Luo! You are going too far!" Li Jiaojiao covered her burning cheek and almost cried out.
Zhou Yan and Li Ziyan had already walked into the courtyard. Li Jiaojiao, out of anger and pain, simply cried even louder, holding the child in her arms, tears streaming down her face, feeling extremely aggrieved:
"Sister-in-law! Not only did you attack Sister Nan, you also slapped me twice and slammed my hair against the table!"
"My cousin and aunt never hit me, why did you hit me?"
"Since I entered the mansion, my sister-in-law has disliked Jiaojiao. Is she jealous of my cousin being nice to me?"
The moment Zhou Yan and Li Ziyan stepped through the door, what they heard and saw was such an explosive scene.
Compared to Li Jiaojiao's out-of-control and shrewish demeanor, Su Luo looked helpless and calm. Her hair was delicate, her face beautiful, and her manners elegant. She slowly waved her round fan, "Look at my sister throwing a tantrum... What she said was so inappropriate."
"The prince is my husband, and you are just his cousin. We will get married in the future. How could I be jealous of him treating you well?"
"Besides." Su Luo's tone was normal, but her words suddenly became sharper. "How can my wife and my cousin be compared? My sister is a little ignorant."
After hearing these words, Li Zi Yan felt mixed emotions. Of course, she felt that there was nothing wrong with what Su Luo said.
Li Jiaojiao didn't recognize her own identity, and relying on the twins, she even wanted to interfere in Su Luo and Zhou Yan's marriage...
If this continues, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. Li Ziyan was even afraid that Li Jiaojiao would go crazy and tell the truth. She hurriedly said, "Enough! Why are you making trouble here with your sister-in-law?"
"She! She killed my daughter!" Li Jiaojiao pointed at Su Luo angrily!
"I heard it as soon as I entered the yard. You said she harmed Sister Nan. Do you have any evidence?" Li Zi Yan frowned, skeptical about the matter, and her mind was in turmoil for a while.
Li Jiaojiao said that Su Luo harmed Nan Jie'er, why would Su Luo harm Nan Jie'er? Su Luo didn't know that Nan Jie'er was an illegitimate daughter.
What was Su Luo's purpose in doing this? Was there any benefit in doing this? Was it just what Jiaojiao said, that she was jealous of her son treating her better than her, so she took revenge on Nan Jie'er? Does that make sense?
Instead of taking revenge on an adult, why not take revenge on a baby in swaddling clothes?
The causal relationship isn't very direct, and there was the incident a while ago when Jiaojiao scratched Nan Jie'er's arm to win her favor...
Therefore, although Li Zi Yan felt sorry for the child, she did not directly blame Su Luo.
Li Jiaojiao didn't think so. In the past, Zhou Yan and her aunt would believe whatever she said. In the past, her aunt would have been furious and rushed to question Su Luo, but now... her aunt was asking her for evidence!?
Li Jiaojiao's heart sank, but her face was filled with even more anger and fury. "After my sister-in-law held Nanjie'er in her arms, she developed a rash all over her body. She must have drugged her then. My sister-in-law hasn't left the house since this afternoon, so the poison must still be hidden in the house!"
"Please, aunt and cousin, bring the pharmacist to search this yard!" Li Jiaojiao knelt on the ground, hugged Nan Jie'er and cried bitterly.
"It took me over ten hours to give birth to these two children. I was in danger of death several times and almost died. I will never allow anyone to hurt them!"
Zhou Yan sighed, and Li Zi Yan also felt sympathy. Li Jiaojiao had indeed suffered a lot when giving birth to those two children.
"Luo'er, in order to clear your name and clear up any misunderstandings, let's... have someone search it. Of course, it's not that I don't trust you, but just consider it an explanation to Jiaojiao." Li Zi Yan waved her hand.
