Seeing her like this, Ye Qingxue took a deep breath and told her the answer: "Because the old lady wanted to kill me. She knew that I brought your daughter into my courtyard, so she used you to kill your daughter and then framed me, so that you would pay with your life."
This was what Ye Qingxue thought of in a split second.
That can only be the reason.
Otherwise, the old lady would have had no reason to kill Hu Mama's daughter.
Granny Hu stared at her blankly for a long time before saying, "You are very skilled and have many people protecting you. Even if you killed my daughter, I would not be able to kill you to avenge her. Therefore, what you said is illogical."
"Yes!" Ye Qingxue admitted, "So the old lady didn't expect to use you to kill me. She just wanted you to cause a ruckus at Guanju Courtyard, so that I would be unable to defend myself against other things."
"Once I'm exhausted from your entanglement, she'll unleash her ultimate move. You might not believe me, but you can stay by my side and wait to see what happens."
Granny Hu was tense all over, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like a bulging ball that could explode at any moment.
Her only daughter died, and she seems to have become a ghost, now lingering in the world only to avenge her daughter.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Since that's the case, I'll wait and see! If you're lying to me, I won't let the entire Marquis's mansion go! I've served the Marquis's mansion like a slave my whole life and never thought of leaving, but the Marquis's mansion treats me like this!"
“My daughter and her family were living a perfectly good life outside, and you kidnapped them. If you hadn’t done this, the old lady wouldn’t have been able to do it. You are all murderers!”
Ye Qingxue said coldly, "Granny Hu, perhaps this is just retribution. You claim to be loyal to the Marquis's mansion and have never had any disloyalty, but all you have ever been loyal to is Min Yingying."
"As the sharp knife in Min Yingying's hand, how many people have you harmed? Didn't you have a part in my father's death? Didn't you participate in Ye Cunsi's lameness?"
"Besides, you once tried to kill me too. Today's situation is just the cycle of cause and effect."
"Your daughter's death is indeed tragic, but it's not my fault."
She doesn't deny that she has to bear the consequences.
But if it wasn't her fault, she couldn't possibly admit it.
Granny Hu was stunned again, and after a long while she murmured, "Cause and effect...cause and effect...haha, what a cause and effect cycle, retribution is inevitable."
Granny Hu rushed to her daughter's side and burst into tears, still heartbroken, but now her grief outweighed her anger.
Ye Qingxue glanced at her, then turned to Chunqian and Xialu and asked, "Where are Granny Xing and Dongbai? They went to Yilan Courtyard this morning and haven't come back yet. It's getting dark."
Spring Light and Summer Green exchanged a glance.
Xia Lu said, "When Miss took Xiao Bao out, they came back, but then went out again. We don't know when they went out, and they didn't tell us. Chunqian and I were just talking about this just now."
Ye Qingxue pondered. These are turbulent times. Even if Granny Xing is unaware, Dongbai has been by her side all along and could not possibly be unaware.
At this time, they still went out quietly without telling her what they were going to do... Although Dongbai is not very smart, she should not have done such a thing at this time.
This is very unusual, very strange.
Or rather, something was already amiss when Madam Zhou called Granny Xing over to talk to her early in the morning.
The old lady was very angry when she heard that Madam Zhou had failed to send Ye Cunsi away; moreover, she was also very angry that Madam Zhou had not reconciled with her daughter.
So Madam Zhou was confined to Yilan Courtyard, and that's why she called Granny Xing away early in the morning.
Ye Qingxue stroked her chin, pacing slowly around the room, pondering the cause and effect of the matter, and speculating on what might happen next.
At this moment, Qiu Shen returned with Tan Shan and the others, and none of them looked too good.
Qiu Shen said, "We couldn't find that booklet. Ye Cunjin refused to say where he hid it. We searched his yard almost three feet deep, but we still couldn't find it."
Tan Shan said, "I even laid a hand on that kid, but he still wouldn't admit it, he just kept laughing!"
Damn it, he was laughing so hard his scalp was tingling. He just wanted to punch Ye Cunjin's head open and kill him.
Ye Qingxue frowned slightly, her voice filled with hostility: "Perhaps he didn't write any booklet at all, and yesterday he was just deceiving us to protect himself."
"Not finding her might be the best news. Let's not worry about her for now. Uncle Tan, could you please take some people and help me get Aunt Liu out of Guanju Courtyard?"
"Don't ask so many questions, there's no time left. I'll explain to you later."
Tan Shan, having been on the battlefield, knew the importance of timing. Without asking further questions, he simply said, "Okay."
He then prepared to take Liu Pan and Qin Zhisheng to take Aunt Liu away, but he stopped after taking two steps.
"Since the situation is dangerous, let Liu Pan stay by Miss's side and await her orders. Zhisheng and I are enough to protect Aunt Liu."
Thinking about the dangers ahead, Ye Qingxue felt that it was a good thing that Uncle Tan left someone for her.
But she still looked at Liu Pan and asked, "Brother Liu, would you be willing to stay and lend me a hand? The situation ahead is very dangerous!"
Liu Pan immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting: "I will certainly live up to your mission."
That was settled. Tan Shan left with Qin Zhisheng and then took Aunt Liu with him.
Granny Hu was still sobbing uncontrollably when Ye Qingxue walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder: "Granny Hu, do you want to avenge your daughter?"
Noticing the person in her palm stiffen, Ye Qingxue continued, "If you want revenge, listen to me later."
