My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

I will come back and report soon next spring.

"It's Madam..." She subconsciously called out, and then quickly changed her words: "Madam Lu sent someone back to get something."

"Which Madam Lu?"

As soon as the question was asked, Liu Qiuqiu immediately understood.

He looked at Mingchun with scrutiny, and suddenly smiled.

"You just called Su He Madam? And you said she sent someone back to get something? Back to where? Lu Mansion?"

Mingchun was panicked and quickly explained: "I...I said the wrong thing in a hurry. I hope you will forgive me!"

"I didn't expect that after serving me for so long, you are still thinking about your old master Su He?" Liu Qiuqiu murmured slowly. After putting Ji'er in the fence, she walked to her, rolled up her sleeves, and slapped her without saying a word!

"Aunt, please spare me, Aunt, please spare me!"

Mingchun was slapped hard in the face and staggered, but she ignored the pain and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

I remember when I first served Liu Qiuqiu, she had a bad temper, but she only scolded and cursed me verbally and didn't do anything else.

Soon after Ji'er was born, Lu Yanxiu seldom came to Tingyuxuan. Although he always spoke softly to Ji'er and Aunt Liu every time he came, there were still some differences in the subtle details.

This made Liu Qiuqiu even more dissatisfied.

One day, Mingchun took care of Ji'er all night without rest, and forgot to prepare toiletries for Liu Qiuqiu in the morning, so he was beaten up by her.

From then on, whenever I felt dissatisfied and needed to vent, I would be beaten and scolded countless times the next spring. Before the old scars had healed, new wounds would form.

That's why she looked scared and frightened after Liu Qiuqiu slapped her.

"It's all my fault for being so mean! My aunt has the final say in the mansion now, so how can there be any problem with Su He? My aunt is magnanimous, please don't bother with me!"

Mingchun closed his eyes and knelt on the ground. After begging for mercy, he did not hear Liu Qiuqiu's reply for a long time.

In surprise, her voice suddenly rang out.

But it was so horrifying.

"I'm just punishing you, why are you so flustered? Okay, get up." Liu Qiuqiu sat down on a low chair, then picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth. Her eyes fell on the sleeping Ji'er, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

"Mingchun, you have served me for so long. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. I really shouldn't lose my temper and beat and scold you so often. In the future, I will never do this again."

Mingchun was terrified and didn't dare to raise her head. She replied timidly, "I am worthless and I am just a worthless life. I am always waiting for you to order me around."

Liu Qiuqiu stared at her weird smile and said, "In that case, go to the end of Cuiliu Alley in the east and buy me a bowl of chestnut fruit."

Mingchun did not dare to delay in leaving here. He agreed and left Tingyuxuan without looking back.

The house was so quiet.

Little Ji'er whimpered once or twice from time to time, and waved his cute little hands in the air, looking very well-behaved.

Liu Qiuqiu finished the pastries on the plate in silence, wiped her hands on her clothes a few times, and walked over.

The chestnut shop at the end of Cuiliu Lane was Liu Qiuqiu's favorite. It was said that when they lived in the villa, the young master would buy chestnuts every now and then to please her.

Mingchun just wanted to avoid staying outside for too long, in case he was delayed and made Liu Qiuqiu unhappy.

After rushing for half an hour, they finally returned to Tingyuxuan.

The yard was quiet.

Mingchun stood outside the door holding the wrapped chestnuts and looked out, but he didn't see Liu Qiuqiu. From a distance, he saw Yi'er lying on the bed, making no sound, as if she was asleep.

Mingchun walked in while muttering, "Madam Liu is such a jerk. She doesn't even stay by the young master's side when he's asleep. What if he falls off the bed... ah!"

With just one look, the chestnut in his hand fell to the ground.

How can the baby in the bed be asleep?

His eyes were tightly closed, and there were two deep red bloody marks on his neck. He sniffed and smelled no breath, but there was no sound!

Mingchun was so frightened that his legs went weak and he hurried out to call for help.

Unexpectedly, just as he ran to the door, Liu Qiuqiu came up with a gloomy face.

"What kind of behavior is this?"

When Mingchun saw her, he felt that a disaster was imminent. He knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and cried, "Young Master... Young Master is not breathing!"

"what?"

Liu Qiuqiu walked in quickly to check.

indoor.

Ji'er's face was black and blue, and his body was still warm, but the marks on his neck were so cruel that they made people shudder.

"My baby, my cum-boy!"

"Wake up!"

It so happened that Mrs. Yang was following behind Steward Lin to monitor him. She happened to pass by Tingyuxuan and heard the shouting inside, so she followed in to see what was going on.

"what happened?"

As soon as she entered, Liu Qiuqiu seemed to have found a backer. She held the breathless Yi'er in her arms and pointed at Mingchun and cursed: "It was you who killed Ji'er! You must be holding a grudge against me, so you took it out on him! Give me back my child!"

Mingchun was kicked to the ground by her, and she defended herself with all her might: "I am innocent! I just returned to Tingyuxuan, and before I had time to catch my breath, I saw the young master sleeping beside the bed. I thought that the young master was too delicate and was afraid that he would fall to the ground and get scared, but when I went over to him, I found that he was already... dead!"

She hurriedly picked up the chestnuts scattered on the ground, held a few in front of Liu Qiuqiu, and said tremblingly: "Aunt, look, the chestnuts are still warm! If I hurt the young master, how can I get to Cuiliu Lane, which is a mile away? How can I get back in half an incense stick of time?"

When Mrs. Yang listened carefully, she found that it was indeed true.

There was only one Li Ziguoer restaurant in Cuiliu Lane near the Lu residence. If she was delayed, she would not be able to come back for a while.

Can……

Mrs. Yang came forward and took a glance.

The young master is really gone.

Liu Qiuqiu paced back and forth in the room holding his body, cursing Mingchun a few times.

"You hold a grudge against me for beating and scolding you, so you vent your anger on the child! You've been wanting to do this for a long time, haven't you? You've been wanting revenge for a long time, haven't you?"

Mingchun cried loudly: "I didn't! I didn't!"

"Someone come here! This maid has a vicious heart and persecuted the baby. Send her to the Dali Temple immediately and give my son justice!" Liu Qiuqiu raised her voice and quickly led Liu and his group over.

Seeing them, Liu Qiuqiu knelt down in front of Liu with Ji'er in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes: "Grandma! Ji'er is gone, Ji'er is gone!"

Liu reached out and touched the child's cheek. The warmth had gradually faded away and the child was no longer breathable.

She felt relieved. She had known that this child was a nuisance and keeping him alive was not a solution. Now that he was dead, it was just the right thing to do...

"Since it was the maid who caused the rebellion, the case will be handed over to the government office for trial." Liu's light words decided Mingchun's life or death.

His gaze moved to Liu Qiuqiu, and although his tears could not stop falling, there was little sincerity in his eyes.

How could Liu, the old fox, not see what she was thinking?

Mingchun felt dizzy and suddenly fell to the ground. He was then carried out of the house by someone.
