Chapter 73: It's Hard to Guard Against a Thief in Your Home
The familiar voice made everyone in the yard stop what they were doing.
Xichun and Bai Qinglan's expressions suddenly became very ugly, while Mother Ge ran to Chen Zhi and knelt down as if she had seen a savior. She handed her a stack of "evidence" and hugged Chen Zhi's thighs while crying, "Miss Chen! Miss! You have to make the decision for our girl!"
"Look, she was cheated, but she refused to repent. She even ignored her brother's betrothal money and used it all to support this gigolo. I am so heartbroken!"
Chen Zhi stared blankly at the thing in her hand, some kind of account receipt - although Ge's mother was illiterate, she saw it clearly. From the first time she met Bai Qinglan to now, every time the two of them met "coincidentally", it was Xichun who tipped off. The two of them even set a price, how much Chen Zhi's whereabouts were worth each time.
"What is this?" Chen Zhi looked coldly at the two people who were stunned.
Mother Ge was still crying and wailing, Xichun was already sweating coldly, she was hesitant to explain, Bai Qinglan had already walked over and wanted to take the things back from Chen Zhi: "Azhi, please listen to my explanation..."
He reacted quickly and wanted to destroy the evidence, but Shen Wangshu reacted faster than him. He gave a look to A Yuan who was watching the game in the front row, and the boy rushed out as if greased his feet, and handed these crucial evidences safely to his employer.
Chen Zhi was still in great shock and anger: "What else is there to explain? It turns out that from the very beginning...from the very beginning, you two teamed up to deceive me!!"
"No, girl, no..." Xichun denied it flatly and knelt down in a hurry. However, it was written clearly in black and white on the paper, and anyone with a brain could tell what was going on at a glance.
"I'm going to report to the police." Chen Zhi said coldly.
Shen Wangshu was eating melon seeds in the crowd, taking a look at the contents of the letters, and laughing to death - it turns out that there are really idiots in this world who do bad things and leave evidence for themselves... and there is an illiterate mother who doesn't understand the truth but is so lethal!
The effect of this trip was much better than she had imagined. Originally, Shen Wangshu had planned to bring Chen Zhi to see if Xichun and Bai Qinglan were doing something fishy, and let her investigate the rest herself.
The result was that not only did Ge's mother expose the other person's past, she also showed no mercy when it came to tricking her own daughter.
Mother Ge, who was holding Chen Zhi's thigh, realized that something was wrong. She loosened her grip and asked eagerly, "What, what happened?"
Xichun looked at her mother with resentment and said in a hateful voice: "You really killed me!!"
In the Bai family courtyard, except for Ge Tao, the other three people knelt in front of Chen Zhi in a funny way. Bai Qinglan begged desperately: "Azhi, listen to me, it's not what you think, it's Xichun who forced me to do it!"
"It was Xichun who found me and asked me to cooperate with her in this play. She repeatedly revealed your whereabouts to me and asked me to...seduce you...it was all done by Xichun!"
Bai Qinglan's kneeling directly admitted that the two of them had conspired to defraud. The crowd was excited, and someone said, "The official is here!"
Everyone automatically split into two paths. The leading yamen runner obviously recognized the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rong's mansion and asked solemnly, "Who wants to report to the authorities?"
When the government officials really came, Ge's mother didn't dare to make a scene like she did before. She got up from the ground timidly and hid behind her son without saying a word. Her arrogance was extinguished in an instant. She said hesitantly, "Why, why did they come so quickly..."
She realized that something seemed a little wrong with the situation, but her stupid brain couldn't figure it out for a while. She only knew that she had indeed made things worse, but...it didn't seem to be developing the way she had imagined.
Before Chen Zhi could say anything, Xichun spoke up: "No one reported it to the police. It was a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"
She looked at Chen Zhi with pleading eyes and kowtowed repeatedly: "For the sake of Xichun's serving you for so many years, please spare me, young lady, please!"
Shen Wangshu said “tsk tsk” twice, he didn’t expect that someone could be so shameless after cheating others: “When you conspired with others to defraud the Duke’s Mansion of money, why didn’t you think about the fact that I have served your girl for so many years?”
"You treat me as a fool instead of a master?"
Xichun looked at the person who spoke, with strong hatred in her eyes: "You!! You are the one who did this?!"
Following Chen Zhi around all day, Xichun knew her every move. Except for the two days when she met Bai Qinglan, her behavior was the same as usual, so it was impossible for her to notice any clues.
Is this Shen Wangshu?
Was it she who leaked the news to her impulsive and stupid mother, which led to what happened today? !
Xichun stared at this beautiful, non-aggressive, gentle woman with resentment and cursed, "You are so scheming!"
As soon as the words fell, Wutong slapped her mercilessly: "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the general's wife?!"
With all the evidence, Shen Wangshu took Chen Zhi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go to court, everyone."
"Greetings, General's wife!" The head of the yamen runners did not expect that the general's newly married wife was also here. He greeted her with great fear and trepidation, and then asked the yamen runners behind him to take all four people in the yard away.
Wutong usually kept quiet, but after one slap, Xichun's face immediately swelled up, but she still glared at Shen Wangshu: "What grudge do I have against you? Why did you ruin my good thing?!"
Shen Wangshu was also puzzled: "Then what hatred do I have with you? Why did you steal the note and send it to my husband to slander and frame me?"
An indignant look flashed across Xichun's face, and she closed her mouth and stopped talking, only her chest heaving violently, as if she was about to die. Shen Wangshu did not miss what she was thinking at the moment: [Who asked you to be the general's wife? In just a few years, the general will be old, and the old lady will definitely let the general pick a few concubines. I am smart and good-looking, so I will definitely be able to enter the Xuanji Courtyard... Who made you not die suddenly on the way to the wedding? ! 】
Shen Wangshu: “…”
No, why does Xichun think that Chen Ting will take her into his backyard when he gets older?
This girl is only a few years older than Chen Zhi, so why would she pin her future on Chen Ting so early? ?
The conversation between the two helped Chen Zhi come back to her senses. She was furious: "What, a note... Was that note also stolen by Xichun? She even threw it in front of my eldest brother?!"
No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief within your own home.
This time, the way Chen Zhi looked at Xichun was no different from looking at a dead person.
