Chapter 161: One Life for One Life



Chu Qiu frowned and turned to look at the person who came.

Seeing that the person who stopped her was Jiang Huaishu, she immediately started crying in grievance.

"My Lord, she hit me, do you still care?"

"She is the master, she has the right to beat you!"

Jiang Huaishu glared at her coldly and loosened his grip on her hand.

Chuqiu is a very brave woman.

After failing to poison Yun Wanrou, he now wants to attack her.

If he hadn't been worried about the incident affecting the two children, he wouldn't have bothered to save her.

This woman, relying on his favor, has become more and more outrageous!

Seeing Jiang Huaishu standing on Yun Wanrou's side, Chu Qiu became even angrier.

What's so good about Yun Wanrou? Doesn't she just have a powerful father?

Wait, wait until she finds the little bastard's biological father.

She was determined to bring disgrace upon both mother and daughter.

As Chu Qiu was thinking, two yamen runners quickly stepped out of the door.

She quickly collected her thoughts and looked at them expectantly.

"Two officers, what's going on? Did you find any poison in the room?"

"There is no poison in the room."

"How could it be gone?" Chu Qiu frowned, "You must not have looked carefully enough. I'll go in and help you look for it!"

As he said that, Chu Qiu was about to walk inside.

The short bailiff grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"We have searched the room, and there is no poison at all. Now it's your turn, take us to your room."

Hearing this, Chu Qiu felt a little uneasy.

But when I think about it, she was the one who put the packet of poison in the cook's room herself.

They didn't find it, it must be because they didn't look carefully enough.

Never mind. Her goal isn’t to be a cook anyway.

When they searched her room, the matter was settled.

"My room is just in front, just follow me."

Having said that, Chu Qiu turned around and walked in front to lead the way.

The servants' rooms are next to each other and not far away.

She was taken care of by Jiang Huaishu. Her room was slightly smaller than others, but she lived alone.

She led a group of people to the door of the room.

"This is my room, go in and search it!"

Just search.

Even if they turned the room upside down, they couldn't find the poison!

Chuqiu's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were full of confidence.

Yangyang held his chin with his hand, smiling and waiting for the show.

Not long after the bailiffs went in, the short one among them came out.

He came to the doctor and handed over what he had in his hand.

"Excuse me, doctor, what is this packet of white powder?"

When Chu Qiu saw the bag of medicine powder in the runner's hand, his face changed.

She clearly put the poison in the cook's room, so how could the bailiff find it in her room?

Chu Qiu thought about it and was about to grab the bag of medicine powder.

Yun Wanrou saw what she did and grabbed her hand.

"Chu Qiu, what are you doing? Do you want to destroy the evidence?"

"Let me go, this is not mine. This poison belongs to the cook, it shouldn't be in my room!"

"The doctor hasn't even looked at it yet, how do you know that this package is poison?"

"I...I guessed!"

Chu Qiu tried hard to remain calm.

"This thing is not mine. It appeared in my room. There must be something fishy going on!"

Seeing Chuqiu so panicked, Jiang Huaishu's heart suddenly panicked too.

Didn't he send someone to inform her and ask her to destroy the poison?

Why did the poison appear in her room?

He has been annoyed enough recently, and this woman is causing him trouble all the time.

"It's this! This packet of powder is the chronic poison found in Madam's food!"

The bailiff inside heard the doctor's cry and rushed out of the room quickly.

He grabbed Chu Qiu and his eyes fell on Jiang Huaishu.

"My Lord, the poison was found in this person's room. We need to take her away."

"Please!"

Being caught on the spot, Jiang Huaishu was helpless.

Seeing that Jiang Huaishu would not protect her, Chu Qiu collapsed.

"Let me go, I won't leave. This packet of poison is not mine. Someone framed me. You caught the wrong person!"

"My Lord, save me! Brother Chen and Sister Xing are still young, they can't live without their mother!"

“If I’m convicted, it will affect Chen Ge’er’s future.

You can be cruel to me, but they are your children, you can't just ignore them!"

"My Lord, My Lord..."

Chu Qiu struggled, trying to break free from the yamen runners' restraints.

However, there was a huge difference in strength between men and women, and she struggled for a long time but was unable to break free.

Jiang Huaishu frowned and watched her being taken away by the bailiffs.

Yun Wanrou's lips curled up slightly, and she was in a particularly good mood.

When Jiang Huaishu turned to look at her, he saw her smiling.

His face darkened and he complained, "Arou, why do you have to kill Chuqiu?"

"She wanted to kill me, but not only did you help her, you even thought I was the one who wanted to kill her, ha!"

Yun Wanrou looked at him with a sneer.

"Jiang Huaishu, why didn't I realize before that you are so shameless?"

"you……"

Jiang Huaishu was choked by Yun Wanrou's words and his face turned red with anger.

But when he thought that only Yun Wanrou could rescue Chu Qiu now, he softened his tone again.

“Arou, Chuqiu served you before and saved your life.

One life for another, so you owe each other nothing.

For the sake of our past friendship, can you please go to the government office and say that you will not pursue this matter, okay?"

Jiang Huaishu looked at Yun Wanrou with eyes filled with anticipation.

Yun Wanrou fell into the water, but it was Chu Qiu who rescued her.

He believed her, she was not an ungrateful person.

"What a life for a life! If she hadn't pushed me into the pond on purpose, would I need her to save me?"

Yun Wanrou's voice suddenly rose a few notches.

"You...you know everything?"

Jiang Huaishu was slightly stunned.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past. She was wrong to poison you, but you weren't poisoned, were you?

Go to the government office and bring her back. When she comes back, I will punish her for you!"

"You mean, she will only be guilty if I die?"

Yun Wanrou looked at him, paused, and suddenly smiled.

"Jiang Huaishu, since you care about her so much, why don't you and I get divorced.

As soon as I get the divorce papers, I will go to the government office and bring her back personally!"

"Don't even think about divorce!"

Jiang Huaishu didn't open the conversation and refused it outright.

Yun Wanrou suppressed her smile and said coldly, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss between you and me."

After saying this, Yun Wanrou turned around and walked back.

Jiang Huaishu gritted his teeth and turned to look at her back.

Divorce, that's all she wanted in her mind.

She wanted to escape from the mansion so much, but he didn't go as she wished.

As for Chu Qiu, even without her help, he could rescue her!
