It was Hongqu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time! Ever since Zhou went insane, Hongqu had been by her side taking care of her. After hearing that Zhou Qingyuan had handed over the power of the General's Mansion to Jiang Li, Hongqu no longer dared to act recklessly like before.
Hongqu has been keeping a low profile these days, fearing that Jiang Li would come after her for what happened before.
In the past, she dared to act arrogantly in the mansion because of Zhou's influence, but now the people who supported her have gone crazy. Hongqu is just a servant like everyone else.
Now that Jiang Li holds the sole power in the General's Mansion, Hong Qu is not stupid enough to provoke her as a maid.
Having served Zhou for so many years, Hongqu's appetite had already been whetted. Now that her backer had fallen, she was no longer satisfied with being a maid her whole life.
These days she thought of a way to become a phoenix, which was to get close to the two young masters, Zhou Zhiheng and Zhou Zhiyao, first gain their favor, and then find a sense of existence in front of the general.
Knowing that Zhou Zhiheng and Zhou Zhiyao, the brother and sister, hate Jiang Li, Hongqu has been finding various ways to say bad things about Jiang Li in front of them these days to increase their disgust and hatred towards Jiang Li.
Since she is the stepmother, then who cares?
As long as the two young masters hate Jiang Li enough, she can use a little trick and the general will divorce Jiang Li sooner or later. By then, she, who will be loved by the two young masters, will be able to get close to the general naturally.
Others can take the position of the general's wife, so why can't she, Hongqu? After Hongqu's unremitting efforts, Zhou Zhiheng and Zhou Zhiyao became more and more disgusted with Jiang Li. The reason why Zhou Zhiheng released a poisonous snake into Jiang Li's yard that day to bite her to death was because Hongqu had been behind it.
After learning that Zhou Qingyuan handed over the power of the family to Jiang Li, Hong Qu was almost going crazy with jealousy. These days, she had been thinking about how to expel Jiang Li from the general's mansion. Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes and sent this opportunity to her! ! After seeing Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi's intimate and ambiguous behavior, Hong Qu hurried back to Furong Garden.
Although Zhou became insane, he was not completely crazy. He was sometimes crazy and sometimes clear-headed.
It happened that Zhou woke up clearly this morning. Hongqu rushed back to Furong Garden and told Zhou the scene he had just seen in an exaggerated way.
"What?!" Zhou's eyes widened and she slammed the table: "How dare this little bitch Jiang Li cheat on Qingyuan?!"
Hong Qu nodded heavily and said seriously, "It's absolutely true! I saw all of this with my own eyes. Not only did the young lady behave in an ambiguous way with Mr. Shen, but just now, just now..."
Hongqu hesitated in the middle of his speech, as if he had something to hide.
"What happened just now? Tell me!"
Zhou angrily scolded Hongqu and waited for her to say next.
Hong Qu bit her lower lip and said, "Just now, Mr. Shen kissed the young lady... He also told her to wait for him to come back and said he would reward her well in the evening..."
In order to put the blame on Jiang Li, Hongqu just spoke without thinking and made up some suggestive words.
"How ridiculous! This is absolutely ridiculous! This little bitch actually dared to do something shameful with others in the general's mansion. Does she really think that no one can control her?!"
"Madam, Madam, please calm down first. Nanyuan and Zhuyuan are so close, and the young lady is not favored by the general. She will inevitably become lonely after a long time, so this is..."
Hongqu continued to exaggerate in front of Zhou, implying in her words that Jiang Li could not stand the loneliness and had already hooked up with Shen Tingsi, making Zhou Qingyuan a cuckold.
"Someone, go and capture that little bitch Jiang Li and bring her to the ancestral hall. She dared to cuckold Qingyuan. I'll skin her alive today!"
Zhou roared, her anger almost bursting out of her head! After hearing Zhou's words, Hongqu excitedly clenched the corner of her clothes. She heard that the last person who was dragged to the ancestral hall to use the family law lost his life on the spot. That's great. Jiang Li, this roadblock, is finally going to disappear! Hongqu suppressed her excitement and stepped forward to support Zhou, and walked with her to the ancestral hall of the general's mansion.
Ever since Jiang Li summoned the Green Guards from the Jiang Mansion last time, he had kept two of them for convenience. Now, the two Green Guards were hiding in the dark, waiting to be summoned by Jiang Li at any time.
Zhou wants to hurt Jiang Li?
Haha, I’m afraid he would be knocked down by a palm from the Green-robed Guards without even touching his hair!
When Jiang Li followed the servant to the ancestral hall, Zhou was already sitting in front of the door waiting.
In addition to Zhou, there were more than a dozen servants standing in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. The moment Jiang Li appeared in the ancestral hall, the servants immediately surrounded her.
Jiang Li's lips curled up in a mocking tone: "What's going on here?"
"How dare you do something shameful with someone in the general's mansion, you little bitch, you are so brave!"
Zhou slammed the table suddenly, staring at Jiang Li with eyes as sinister as a venomous snake.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Oh, I almost forgot, my mother-in-law is crazy, isn't she just saying this?"
Jiang Li changed the subject and brought up the fact that Zhou was insane. As she spoke, she looked at the servants surrounding them, and her gaze gradually turned cold.
"The old lady has gone insane and her mind is out of control. What, are you guys also crazy and following her?"
When the servants met Jiang Li's cold eyes, they swallowed unconsciously and subconsciously stepped aside.
Zhou's face was filled with anger: "How dare you! Hongqu saw this with her own eyes, you little bitch, don't even think of quibbling!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li's gaze fell on Hongqu, who was looking at her with a smug look on her face.
"Madam, I just saw with my own eyes how you and Mr. Shen behaved intimately and ambiguously. Now that the truth has been exposed, Madam, please stop being stubborn and confess honestly."
Hongqu held his waist with his hands held high, as if he had seen how tragic Jiang Li's fate was today.
"Come here, beat her up, beat her up hard, and keep beating her until this little bitch admits that she cheated on me!"
Zhou gave the order angrily, and then Hongqu took the whip beside her and walked up to Jiang Li with a smug look on her face.
"Young Madam, I'm sorry."
Hong Qu grabbed the whip tightly, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes! "Beat! Beat this shameless little whore to death!"
Swoosh——
Hong Qu raised the long whip without hesitation and swung it towards Jiang Li on the opposite side. Just as the thorny long whip was about to fall on Jiang Li, at the critical moment, an angry shout sounded from behind the crowd -
