Suddenly, from the bushes, the lazy voice of Master Xiao Qi was heard, "Shen Qingyu, where have you been!"
It turned out to be my cousin!
Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes unconsciously drifted to Shen Qingyu. Why did this cousin call the second young lady? Could it be that these two people had something going on?
Shen Qingyu was a little annoyed. Why was he calling her name so intimately? Didn't he know that one shouldn't call a girl's name casually?
Just now, when they were alone in private, Shen Qingyu did not bother with Xiao Qingye and did not deliberately correct him. But now so many people are watching and listening. Could it be that he has to get involved with Xiao Qingye before getting rid of Liu Yiping?
"Mother... Third uncle... and Third aunt..." Young Master Xiao Qi came out from behind the bushes with sleepy eyes. He greeted everyone in turn with a sleepy look on his face, looking half asleep and half awake.
Perhaps because of his sleeping position, a few strands of Mr. Xiao Qi's long hair were scattered, but it did not look messy. Instead, it made him look somewhat unruly. There were also a few dead leaves on his head, which made everyone present laugh.
Even so, his appearance attracted many people's attention. It was no exaggeration to say that he was extremely handsome. The other person, on the other hand, was kneeling on the ground in a mess, with his clothes stained with dust and dirt. In comparison, he was really a sight to behold.
No wonder Shen Qingyu said that with Xiao Qingye in the mansion, she would never look down on Liu Yiping. The gap between the two of them was simply too big.
Shen Ruyan came over and gently removed the dead leaves from Xiao Qingye's hair, her eyes full of love, "Why are you sleeping here, kid?"
She had told Xiao Qingye to study in the study, but in just a short while, he ran to the corner of Shen's house to sleep.
But he will have to be sent to Yunlu Academy in Jinling Prefecture after a while. I heard that Dean Xu of Yunlu Academy will personally examine Qingye. If he fails to satisfy the other party, he may not be able to stay in Jinling Prefecture anymore.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruyan let out a long sigh. His Qingye was obviously a talented person. He was good-looking and smart, but he was unwilling to pursue a career in officialdom. It was even difficult for him to pass the examination to become a scholar.
Xiao Qingye frowned and looked at Shen Qingyu, with a slightly complaining tone, "Cousin Qingyu, why did you take so long? Where is my glutinous rice cake? Where did you take it to when I asked you to bring it? Do you want to starve me to death?"
With just a few casual words, he successfully helped Shen Qingyu out of the predicament.
Everyone then understood that the Second Miss was with the young master just now. No wonder there was no witness. The Second Miss refused to say where she was. The young master was frivolous and a notoriously playboy. Although he was of noble status and handsome, if you got caught by him, you wouldn't be able to get rid of him easily.
There was a hint of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qingyu. No one would think that Xiao Qingye liked Shen Qingyu. With her looks, it was impossible for her to be favored by her cousin. So there was only one explanation for the current situation.
The second young lady was teased by her cousin. The cousin treated the second young lady of the Shen family like a maid. This should be the first time.
With Xiao Qingye coming forward to testify, the others had nothing to say. Everyone knew in their hearts that Shen Qingyu would never be able to ask Xiao Qingye to give false testimony for her. That meant that the Second Miss was innocent and all this was nonsense made up by Liu Yiping.
Now everything is basically clear, but the play still needs to be performed. "It is Qingyu's fault to let cousin Qingye go hungry. It's just that Qingyu can't get away right now. After she finishes her work, she will definitely go to the kitchen..."
"Forget it, forget it. It's already this late. I don't feel like eating anymore." Young Master Xiao Qi waved his hands impatiently.
These things were all false, but the two of them cooperated very well, and no one present suspected that the two were actually talking nonsense.
Xiangyu, the only one who knew the truth, was secretly shocked.
Everyone in this mansion knew that the cousin was the most difficult master to serve. He usually ignored everyone, but today he was willing to help the second young lady and even lied for her to resolve her current crisis. The two of them sang the same tune as if it was just the right thing to do. Even Xiangyu herself was a little dazed. Maybe the cousin really asked the second young lady to get some glutinous rice cakes just now.
When Shen Ruyan heard Xiao Qingye say that he was hungry, she felt so distressed that she could not care about other things. "Are you hungry? Qingye, mother will cook for you something delicious later. Don't worry."
Aunt Liu's face turned pale, knowing that there was no way back then. At the time, she had placed all her hopes on Liu Yiping, hoping that he could save her face and completely kill the bitch Shen Qingyu. Unexpectedly, Liu Yiping was a useless person after all.
She really hated Shen Qingyu, this little bitch, in her heart. How could she be so lucky to dodge every time and escape danger without any danger, making all her plans go to waste.
She felt a little hatred towards Liu Yiping. She had asked him to do this, but it turned out like this. Not only did she get herself implicated, but the Liu family would never be able to enter the Shen family again in the future. It was hard to imagine how much suspicion and dissatisfaction Shen Chuanhe would have towards her after today.
Shen Qingyu took in all of Aunt Liu's reactions and suddenly felt relieved.
This level is considered passed.
Because she resolved the false accusations made by Taoist Qingyun in the book, Aunt Liu and others resorted to other methods to punish her.
She was not a resourceful person, but she had to be tough in an environment where she could only rely on herself.
She once almost had her freedom, and now she will not give it up.
When Shen Xitong saw Xiao Qingye speaking for Shen Qingyu, she became jealous beyond belief. She tried several times to flirt in front of Xiao Qingye, hoping to have a word with this cousin of the Xiao family. After all, they were cousins, and she wanted to get closer to them.
But Shen Xitong couldn't understand why her beauty, which surpassed that of a fairy, was like an ordinary stone in front of Xiao Qingye. She could understand that Xiao Qingye was of noble status and not everyone could be in his eyes, but why could Shen Qingyu do it? But she couldn't?
What was it about himself that was inferior to hers? Why was her vision so gentle? Could it be that this Young Master Xiao Qi had an eye disease and saw ugly things as beautiful? That was why he was trying to show his affection to a plain-looking woman like Shen Qingyu?
"Master Shen, spare my life!"
After Liu Yiping saw Xiao Qingye's appearance, the situation was reversed. With Young Master Xiao Qi testifying for Miss Shen Er, even if what he said was the truth, no one would believe it. He was the young master of the Xiao family. To offend him would be even worse than to offend the Shen family. Now Liu Yiping had no other choice but to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.
However, someone stood up at this time.
A little maid in a pink jacket and skirt rushed over and knelt in front of everyone.
Shen Qingyu was shocked. This person was not arranged by her. What did this maid want to do by making such a big fuss?
"Master, please punish him severely! It was him who forced Yanyue to death, it was him!"
The little maid stood up and confessed all the crimes that Liu Yiping had committed in the Shen Mansion. Shen Chuanhe didn't want to hear these abominable things at all, but he still cursed inwardly, "What a bastard Liu Yiping!" Originally, he wanted to take Yan Yue as his maid, and her appearance and figure were very outstanding, but as the patriarch of the Shen family, he had not even enjoyed her yet, and Liu Yiping got there first.
Now Shen Chuanhe just felt like he was cuckolded, which was really embarrassing.
Forcing a maid to death in the mansion was a trivial matter, but that maid was the one Shen Chuanhe had his eyes on, so there was absolutely no way he would let Liu Yiping go easily.
Not many people knew about this matter, and Shen Qingyu did not find out that Shen Chuanhe had taken a fancy to the maid in the mansion.
The same was true for Aunt Chen. She also wanted to take the opportunity to push Aunt Liu, "Master, I am a little scared when I think about this matter. What exactly is Liu Yiping up to? If it weren't for Dong Xi who suffered this hardship for the Second Miss today, if Liu Yiping really met the Second Miss, I'm afraid the Second Miss's innocence would be in jeopardy. Moreover, this man even spoke wildly and regarded the Shen family's things as his own. Master..."
Let's stop here. After all, everyone heard what Dong Xi said before.
It's just that too many chaotic things happened afterwards, and not everyone might notice it, but Aunt Chen would not let it go. Before, Aunt Liu took advantage of Shen Chuanhe's favor for her to bully her for a long time. Even though she had the lady in charge, sometimes it was not good to always trouble the lady, so Aunt Chen could only swallow all the unhappiness.
Now that she has finally found an opportunity to suppress Concubine Liu, Concubine Chen will naturally not let it go.
Shen Chuanhe's heart was filled with anger at the moment. When Aunt Chen mentioned that Aunt Liu and her family were coveting the Shen family's property, it was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. No matter how loving the two were before, once Shen Chuanhe's own interests were involved, they would immediately turn against each other and be ruthless.
His face was filled with anger and his tone was full of disappointment. "Ling'er, I have always trusted you very much over the years. Now you and your nephew have deceived me and done such a shameful thing. I am so disappointed!"
Everything that Aunt Liu has now was given to her by Shen Chuanhe. If Shen Chuanhe didn't support her behind her back, she would be nothing and would lose everything she had.
She frantically pulled at Shen Chuanhe's robe, not caring about whether she could save face in front of others, "Master, please listen to my explanation, I didn't do it, I was deceived, my heart was all for you, how could I dare to do such a thing!"
No matter how many tears she shed before, they were all fake, but the panic and fear at this moment were extremely real.
Aunt Liu was really scared.
She truly felt that Shen Chuanhe's anger was directed at her, but usually she used Shen Chuanhe's anger to target others. She didn't expect that one day, such a thing would happen to her.
Aunt Liu had used this power to get what she wanted, so she felt how terrifying it was when such anger swept over her.
Shen Chuanhe has doted on Aunt Liu for more than ten years, and he loves the pair of children she gave birth to even more. The benefits he gives them are above those given to real legitimate sons and daughters. In Shen Chuanhe's heart, they are a family.
But now, Shen Chuanhe, who used to be friendly to Aunt Liu, actually pushed Aunt Liu to the ground and scolded her harshly: "Bitch, you still have the nerve to say that I'm not good enough to you. You actually want to destroy the reputation of my Shen family. What else are you afraid to do?"
Aunt Liu fell to the ground, the intense pain made her tears flow even more violently.
"Daddy!" How could Shen Xitong sit still? She and Aunt Liu were closely related. If Aunt Liu lost power, her position in Shen Chuanhe's heart would also plummet. "This matter was all done by Liu Yiping alone. Mother didn't know anything about it at all. She is innocent!"
Shen Xitong ran over to support Aunt Liu, a miserable look appearing on her beautiful face.
She pushed all the blame on Liu Yiping and didn't care whether Liu Yiping lived or died. Shen Xitong really couldn't muster any good feelings towards this cousin. The Liu family was shameless and greedy. Shen Xitong had long been fed up with their behavior.
