Chapter 102 A new brother

"I..."

Lu Yunqing did not hide it, put the silver ingot on the table and explained: "My mother's family sent someone to deliver something to me, and I went to get it."

"How many hours will it take to get it?"

"We were just chatting for a while and I forgot the time."

Zhao Liuyun asked again: "If it's a delivery, why didn't you come to the mansion?

And why did you, a pregnant woman, go out to get it?" Taking a closer look, the bag was indeed wrapped in heavy silver ingots. I wonder how she got it back?

"The young lady must know that something happened in my mother's family. The servants must be afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to the Li Mansion by coming here, so they avoided suspicion."

If it were Lu Yunqing at that time, she would definitely not be so humble in front of Zhao Liuyun. But in the past six months, her edges and corners have been smoothed out. Moreover, Zhao Liuyun is not like those weak people. He is very kind to her and the child in her belly.

Zhao Liuyun stared at her quietly for a while, then stood up and said, "My husband will be back soon, just in time for you to give birth. Since you are in a bad condition, don't wander around to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Hearing the news that Li Qi will be back soon, Lu Yunqing's eyes suddenly reddened, and she nodded repeatedly: "I will be fine! I will definitely give birth to the baby safely!"

"That's good."

Zhao Liuyun did not stay in Qingxinju for long, and a large group of maids left with her.

Lu Yunqing looked at her leaving figure, then looked back at her empty yard, and secretly vowed that as long as Li Qi came back, as long as she gave birth to the baby, it would be fine!

The next day, at dawn,

Lu Yunqing found the maid who had delivered the message that day and threw out two silver ingots, which shocked the maid.

"Aunt Lu, where did you get so much money?"

"Help me find some information. After the matter is done, I will give you two more ingots. How about that?"

The maid happily accepted it: "Aunt, call me Taohong."

"Okay..."

Lu Yunqing leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. Seeing that it was not a difficult task, Taohong readily agreed.

At this time, in the Dali Temple,

Lu Huaihe caught the person who poisoned Mingchun and specially called Su He to listen to the interrogation.

The man kneeling in the hall was a dark-skinned man in his thirties or forties. He was weeding in the fields when he was arrested. He pleaded guilty to the charge of poisoning.

"Why did you kill Mingchun?"

Hanzi explained, "I don't know her name. Someone asked me to poison her, so I did. I don't know why."

The wake-up stick in the hall rang, and Lu Huaihe looked grim. He thought his words were a bit absurd and asked, "Who asked you to poison?"

"I... I don't know who he is. He covered his face and said he would give me ten taels of silver and asked me to do something. I had to go for the money, otherwise I would have no money to buy medicine for my wife."

Hanzi's face looked a bit simple. Before he was arrested, Qingyun and others did a background check. He was the only one who made a living from farming at home, and he did have a seriously ill wife.

Lu Huaihe asked several questions in a row, but he just kept saying he didn't know. His confused expression showed that he really didn't know.

At a loss of what to do, Su He asked, "Is that man's arm disabled?" Han

Zi nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, yes! It's on the right wrist or the left wrist!"

Liu Jinglei.

Since he ordered it, he must have been trying to pave a way out for Liu Qiuqiu and wanted to kill her to silence her.

"Do you know who it is?" Lu Huaihe glanced at her.

"I guessed it, but it's not easy to arrest him now."

"Why?"

Su He looked back, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Because I'm using him."

Lu Yunqing was going to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's affairs, and she would inevitably have to deal with Liu Jinglei. Both of them were not people who could stand being bullied, so it would just depend on who was more powerful.

As for Lu Yunqing...

Su He didn't want to be a good person.

She just hoped that Lu Yunqing would not have the chance to be a mother.

After coming out of the Dali Temple, Su He got the news that Lu Yunqing had sent people to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's background.

Pei Xia said: "That girl named Taohong only knows how to ask the neighbors of the Liu family. I am afraid of alerting the enemy. Should we help her?"

"Of course. You go and tell Taohong everything we know, and she will bring the news back."

"Okay."

Lu Huaihe handed Qingyun to Su He, but some things were a bit of an exaggeration for Qingyun to deal with, so Qingyun gave her two subordinates.

In this way, with two more spies, she saved a lot of trouble.

Lu Mansion.

Weirui Pavilion sent someone to Ting Yuxuan to ask Liu Qiuqiu to come over and talk.

I think Liu has come to her senses.

Liu Qiuqiu went to Weirui Pavilion as she wished. As soon as she stepped into the door, she knew that Lu Yunqing was here again.

The day before, she came back alone with a big belly, which made Liu Qiuqiu feel distressed.

When she saw her again today, the fabric of the clothes she wore was much better, and she was calmer, not as irritable as the day before.

"Sister-in-law is here."

Lu Yunqing called sweetly, but Liu snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

If it were in the past, a call of sister-in-law would make Liu Qiuqiu so happy that she couldn't sleep for three days. Now, hearing it in her ears, she just felt it was redundant and irritated. She wanted to get rid of this title as soon as possible, and it would be best if she had nothing to do with anyone in the Lu Mansion!

"Your belly is big, don't go around all the time, stay in the Li Mansion and take care of the baby."

Liu Qiuqiu sat on the chair beside her, calm and unhurried.

Lu Yunqing couldn't see any clues from her face, so she hinted and smiled: "What a coincidence, I recently saw a person who looks 50% similar to my sister-in-law? This is not a strange thing, but that person often appears in the Lu Mansion, so I found it strange, and he also joked with my grandmother. Could he be my sister-in-law's brother?"

Liu Qiuqiu's face froze, and her lips moved as she was about to explain, and she heard her continue.

"I remember my eldest brother once told me that my sister-in-law had no relatives to rely on or any siblings to help me, so when I first saw my sister-in-law, I thought of being my sister-in-law's supporter. Now that a brother appears out of nowhere, isn't it too incredible?

After saying this, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. She quickly took Liu Qiqi’s hand and explained softly: “Sister-in-law, are you ? Don't worry about me talking too much. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't have a doorkeeper for a while."

Liu Qiqi would not argue with her, and smiled lightly: "I'm serious, this is your home, what can I say? Everything is fine."

She turned to look at Mr. Liu and asked, pretending to be concerned: "Grandma, can you drink the ginseng soup today? You are falling behind, so you must make up for it!"

"As long as you are here, just treat me as if I am dead." Liu snorted coldly.

Liu Qiuqiu thought that Liu sent someone to call her to ease the relationship with her, but she didn't expect that they would still confront each other in such a tit-for-tat manner . ? I immediately understood that it must be Lu Yunqing who ordered her to come.
