Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1721

If Chi Shuang was the only one to handle this case, it would be difficult to get to the bottom of it even if she spent the rest of her life. But for Shi Anxia and Zhao Liren, it was a simple case that couldn't be simpler.

To unravel the mystery, they first checked the relationships among the people in the Chi Mansion from top to bottom, and then secretly "invited" all the old servants who had served in the mansion for more than seven years to the government office for questioning.

After the servants who had been questioned came back, they were all silent as a mouse, not even daring to look their master in the eye, so no one in the Chi Mansion noticed anything unusual.

According to Nanny Wang, her master Shao had always been in love with the eldest son of the Chi family when she was still unmarried.

The Shao family is not a prominent and powerful family, but there are people in the family who work in the court, and the highest-ranking official is of the fourth rank, and they have real power.

The Shao family had once sent a message to the Chi family, saying that they were willing to marry. But the Shao family knew that this marriage was impossible because Ying Ruolan, the daughter of the Ying family, also had a crush on Chi Yiqing, so they sent someone to mediate.

Who doesn't know that Ying Ruolan, the daughter of the Ying family, is determined to get Chi Yiqing? Shao hid in a carriage not far away, twisting her handkerchief, watching the servants of the Ying family carry baskets of golden honey pomelo to the Chi family, her nails digging into her palms until blood oozes out.

With the Ying family's eldest daughter standing in front of them, even if the Shao family was unwilling, they dared not to have any extravagant hopes.

Who would have known that on the day when the red silk was hung, the bride under the veil turned out to be Huo Qingqing, who came from a poor family.

Shaw smashed all the porcelain in the room.

Why? Shao hated him so much that her heart was bleeding. Later, she married the second young master of the Chi family, and took the initiative to make friends with Huo Qingqing. She wandered around the big house every day just to take a look at Chi Yiqing.

Sometimes Huo Qingqing would invite her to dinner, and she gladly accepted. She also often bought some delicious food out of her own pocket to supplement the first wife's diet.

Shao pushed the gold-painted food box across the table, but his eyes were fixed on Chi Yiqing's long-knuckled hands.

Nanny Wang, who had served for many years, was horrified and knelt down at night to advise her, "Madam, if you keep doing this, something bad will happen sooner or later!"

Shao took off her gold and jade earrings in front of the mirror. A crazy laugh was reflected in the bronze mirror. "Hehe, I quietly put the inkstone on his desk. When he uses the inkstone to write a love poem, it will be written for me."

When she was making love with Master Chi on the bed, all she could see was the figure in the moon-white robe when she closed her eyes.

In her confession in the yamen, Madam Wang said, "My master often talked to me about this. I was very anxious, but I could do nothing."

It was not until that summer night scented with wine that Chi Yiqing ran into Shaw at the corner gate.

Maybe she had drunk some wine, her eyes were fixed, as if she wanted to swallow Chi Yiqing alive.

She seemed to have lost her balance and fell directly into Chi Yiqing's arms.

Jade arms are wrapped around the neck, and a fragrant breeze blows secretly.

Chi Yiqing suddenly pushed her away, his face cold, "My sister-in-law is drunk."

Shao grabbed his clothes and cried, "I'm not drunk, not drunk! Qinglang..." She covered her chest, "Here, it's all you, if you don't believe me, feel it..."

As she spoke, she was about to hold Chi Yiqing's hand.

Chi Yiqing avoided her like a snake or scorpion, his face changed drastically, he waved her hand away, angrily, "You are so shameless!"

The next night, he met Shao again at the corner gate, returned the precious inkstone to her, and said coldly, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to have any contact with us in the future. Please respect yourself."

His eyes were so cold in the moonlight that Shao was so frightened that he knocked over the lantern in his hand.

She knew that she couldn't go to the main house, and she couldn't wait for him at the corner gate any longer.

Nanny Wang saw all of this.

Shao became increasingly depressed. She watched the loving figures in the courtyard of the big house from afar and listened to their affectionate laughter.

"My husband, why do you spoil Shuang'er like this?"

"Shuang'er, come down quickly, don't crush your father's shoulders!"

Chi Shuang rode on Chi Yiqing's neck and giggled, "Mother, Shuang'er can see so high and far!"

Chi Yue babbled, "Daddy! Daddy, hold me..."

Chi Yiqing laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, daddy will hold you. Shuang'er, you have to hold daddy's head tightly, don't fall down! Daddy wants to hold Yue'er!"
