Chapter 232 Miss Qi's Evil Deeds
Shen Yuling left Qi's house with light steps but a hint of fatigue.
She came to the restaurant room booked by Cha Mi and pushed open the door. Cha Mi was sitting at the table in the room with her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Hearing the door open, she looked up, her eyes lit up, and stood up.
She couldn't help but scolded: "My aunt, you are finally back."
Puzzlement flashed across Shen Yuling's beautiful eyes: "What's wrong? You look so anxious."
Cha Mi walked quickly to her side and asked anxiously, "Didn't Madam tell me to check on Qi Huayin? Madam, do you know what shocking things I found out?"
Shen Yuling and Qi Huayin have a grudge against each other. In order to take precautions and avoid Qi Huayin's revenge in the future, Shen Yuling must find out the enemy's background and find his weaknesses.
That's why he ordered Cha Mi to investigate secretly.
Hearing what Cha Mi said at this moment, she nodded slightly, walked casually to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
He said calmly, "Oh? What did you find out that shocked you so much? Tell me about it."
Cha Mi cleared her throat and said vividly, "Madam, do you still remember that half a year ago, a talented woman named Qing Mu came to Qinse Pavilion?"
Shen Yuling nodded, motioning for her to continue.
Cha Mi continued, "Miss Qi has long been in love with Wu Qingfeng, the son of a close friend of the Qi family. Wu Qingfeng is the son of Wu Gongcao of Qi Ze County."
"As you know, Gongcao is in charge of many important matters in the county, such as personnel appointments, assessments, rewards and punishments. It is a good job that makes people jealous."
"And this Wu Gongcao was promoted by the governor of Qi."
"Logically speaking, if Miss Qi and Wu Qingfeng could get married, it would be a perfect match and a perfect marriage. But..."
Cha Mi paused deliberately, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he jokingly said, "Madam, guess what happened?"
Shen Yuling took another sip of tea, as if she had already guessed something, and said slowly: "I guess this Mr. Wu looks down on the arrogant Miss Qi, and has someone else in his heart."
Cha Mi clapped his hands and said, "Madam is smart! That's right, and the person Mr. Wu likes is Qing Mu!"
Shen Yuling frowned.
Cha Mi continued, "For Qing Mu's sake, Wu Qingfeng rejected Miss Qi's advances many times."
"Miss Qi held a grudge against her and even instructed Xu Changjin to defile Qingmu. She also ruthlessly sold Qingmu to a brothel."
"If Qinse Pavilion hadn't taken Qingmu in, that poor woman would have jumped into the river and committed suicide out of despair."
After saying that, Cha Mi sighed softly, his eyes full of sympathy and indignation.
Shen Yuling has been working outside for many years and has come into contact with all kinds of people.
There are also many women with tragic life stories.
Especially in the process of dealing with the powerful and wealthy, she witnessed those people's contempt and disdain for women, and she had long been accustomed to such injustices.
She was powerless to change the cruel world, nor could she save all those who were suffering.
But at this moment, thinking of what Qi Huayin had done, a trace of disgust flashed in Shen Yuling's eyes.
Originally, she thought Qi Huayin was just a spoiled and willful young lady and didn't bother to argue with her, but now it seems that Qi Huayin's spoiledness has already corroded her conscience.
For the sake of a man, she could do such a heartless thing, causing innocent women to be defiled and sold into a brothel.
Shen Yuling raised her eyes.
"Have you already asked Qingmu about the whole story?"
"Qinse Pavilion always carefully investigates the background of every woman who joins the Pavilion. When I was investigating Qi Huayin, I felt that many clues matched Qingmu, so I sent someone back to ask Qingmu overnight."
"That girl was kindhearted and didn't hide anything. She told me everything exactly as it happened."
Cha Mi suddenly revealed an expression of gloating again, and said proudly: "But before asking Qing Mu, I had already told Wu Qingfeng about this matter."
"Qi Huayin is really vicious. Besides, Qingmu is now a member of my Qinse Pavilion. I must seek justice for her and will never let Qi Huayin marry her ideal husband and be happy!"
Shen Yuling suddenly remembered that Quan Minghe mentioned yesterday that Qi Huayin had a quarrel with Wu Qingfeng, and then Qi Huayin had the audacity to drug him.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that Wu Qingfeng said something that bewitched Qi Huayin and made her drug Quan Minghe in an attempt to use Quan Minghe to get rid of Qi Huayin?
The more Shen Yuling thought about it, the more she felt that there was something fishy going on and it was not impossible.
Could it be that Quan Minghe really fell into Qi Huayin's trap last night?
Then, she sneered again. It was not the first time that Quan Minghe was tricked and drugged.
Arrogance is useless!
Shen Yuling curled her lips.
"If Qing Mu was really bullied by Qi Huayin and Xu Changjin like that, then Xu Changjin deserved to have his eyes gouged out."
"As for Qi Huayin, she will not be able to escape this disaster!"
Shen Yuling's eyes were cold.
With Quan Minghe's temperament, he will definitely not let Qi Huayin go easily.
On the other side, Quan Minghe was holding the life story of Qi County Magistrate presented by Zhao Cong and reading it carefully.
Looking at those densely packed words, he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
Since entering officialdom, the Magistrate of Qi has made remarkable achievements and has been honest in his conduct, making him a rare good official.
But perhaps his only failure was his over-indulgence towards his daughter Qi Huayin.
Qi Huayin was extremely arrogant and domineering in Qi Ze County. In addition to instructing others to defile the woman Wu Qingfeng liked and sell her at a low price, she would secretly retaliate against anyone who did not meet her expectations with ruthless means, and even took several lives.
The Magistrate of Qi County spent countless efforts to cover up his daughter's crimes, allowing her to escape the punishment she deserved time and time again.
Inside the lobby of the Qi residence, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
Kwon Myung-hyuk was dressed in a dark suit, sitting upright in the first seat, exuding a majestic aura.
The Magistrate of Qi and his wife were kneeling in the hall, their faces as pale as paper, their eyes full of fear and anxiety.
At this time, Qi Huayin was smiling, humming a little tune, and walking leisurely towards the lobby.
But when she stepped into the lobby and saw the solemn atmosphere inside, her heart suddenly tightened and her heart began to pound.
She widened her eyes and looked at Kwon Myung-hyuk, who was sitting in the first seat, in disbelief. She then looked at her parents, who were kneeling on the ground, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.
He, how could he be sitting in the first seat!
Why are dad and mom kneeling in the hall!
Qi Huayin was extremely flustered and her mind went blank.
She remembered that last night, Wu Qingfeng had questioned her angrily. Wu Qingfeng had never been mean to her and had always been gentle to her, but he suddenly said that she was incompetent and that Madam Shen was obviously a person who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. He instigated her to destroy the relationship between Madam Shen and Mr. Ming.
She even gave her advice, asking her to frame Madam Shen for drugging Master Ming, saying that without Master Ming's protection, Madam Shen would be at her mercy.
At that time, Qi Huayin thought this was a great idea and acted accordingly.
She thought that the dosage of medicine she gave to Master Ming was not large. Even if the truth was revealed, the worst that could happen was that her father would go and apologize, and she would just act a little coquettishly and the matter would be over.
But at this moment, looking at the cold murderous intent in Master Ming's deep eyes, Qi Huayin felt his legs go weak and he almost couldn't stand.
Is the gap between Daddy and Master Ming’s status so huge? Why is this happening?
