Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast

"Mo'er, what happened yesterday?"

When Dongfang Ti learned that Dongfang Qingmo fell into the water, he rushed over immediately. After all, she was still a girl, and there were differences between men and women. So his eldest sister-in-law sent someone to tell him to go back to the courtyard and wait for news.

He was worried until his eldest sister-in-law sent someone to tell him that Qingmo was fine. Only then did he feel relieved.

So, he came to the front hall early in the morning to wait.

Several people looked at her with concern.

Dongfang Qingmo blinked and spoke slowly, "After the coming-of-age ceremony ended yesterday, I took Xiaoru back to the courtyard. When we passed by the garden, she suddenly pushed me hard for some reason. I lost my balance and fell into the water. If it weren't for Daddy... I don't know what happened next."

Moreover, after Xiaoru succeeded, she quickly left the crime scene, which shows that this was a premeditated plan.

The original owner treated Xiaoru very well on a daily basis and there was no deep hatred between them.

There might be someone else behind this.

Dongfang Ti frowned, "What about Xiaoru?"

Dongfang Qiong: "He has been detained."

"What nonsense!" Dongfang Ti slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you tamper with the mansion? Big brother, you must thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Dongfang Qingshui was furious and gnashed his teeth as he said, "I tortured Xiaoru severely last night, but she refused to say a word!"

Dongfang Qiong pondered for a moment and asked, "Mo'er, think about it, is there any detail you forgot to mention, or is there someone Xiaoru came into contact with that you didn't pay much attention to?"

"Well, let me think... Oh, she had a brief exchange with Luo Yousu's maid." Dongfang Qingmo finally found something useful in his memory.

Dongfang Qiong looked at Yu Jing when he heard this: "Luo Yousu? From the Luo family?"

Yu Jing nodded and added, "Luo Yousu is Luo Ji's legitimate daughter, half a year older than Mo'er. She came here with Madam Luo yesterday. Because she's the youngest, she's deeply loved by Luo Ji. She must be jealous of our Mo'er. How could I not realize how wicked she is at the time?!"

Dongfang Qiong was furious after hearing this. "What? I'm going to go find Luo Ji and settle the score!"

Luo Ji is nothing, he can't even manage his own backyard. If he hadn't helped Luo Ji when he was young, Luo Ji would still be stuck in that corner and dare to attack his Mo'er. It seems that he won't be able to stay in Jiangnan anymore!

Dongfang Qingshui was also furious after hearing this: "What! I'm going to settle the score with Luo Youping!"

Luo Youping is Luo Yousu's elder brother. He was a classmate of Dongfang Qingshui, but they had an average relationship.

Dongfang Qingshui jumped up and was about to rush out the door.

Dongfang Ti was quick to grab the two of them.

These father and son really have the same temper.

Dongfang Ti said in a deep voice, "Be patient! This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Mo'er must not be wronged in vain."

Dongfang Qiong was furious, "What else is there to investigate? Luo Yousu's maid even openly spoke to Xiaoru. Who else could it be except her instructions?!"

Dongfang Ti frowned and said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, Luo Yousu is a woman, and she might be exploited by someone with ulterior motives. Therefore, we must calm down first, carefully analyze the ins and outs of the matter, and then make a decision."

Dongfang Qingmo was a little stunned. She just said one sentence, how did things develop to this point.

Uh……

Yu Jing held her forehead with her hand, looking accustomed to it, and said, "His second uncle is right. We can't let anger cloud our minds. We should investigate. If it is really Luo Yousu, it won't be too late to punish him."

Dongfang Ti nodded. "That's right. We can't let their conspiracy succeed. The most important thing now is to find the person behind this, so that Mo'er won't be threatened again."

Dongfang Qiong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Okay, I'll do as you say. However, if I find out that Luo Yousu has done anything wrong, I will never let her go!"

Dongfang Ti patted Dongfang Qiong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, big brother. Qingshui, I will send people to secretly monitor Luo Yousu's every move. If she really dares to play any tricks, I will be the first to make her pay the price."

Dongfang Qingshui clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

He understood that his second uncle was right. Only by completely eliminating the hidden dangers could Qing Mo's safety be ensured.

However, he was at a loss and felt extremely anxious.

At this moment, Dongfang Qingmo cautiously made a suggestion: "Dad, Mom, Uncle, how about we go and interrogate Xiaoru again? Maybe we can get some useful clues from her."

Dongfang Qingshui slowly shook his head and said in a heavy tone, "I'm afraid this method won't work. I interrogated her all night last night, but she remained silent."

His face showed fatigue and frustration.

Dongfang Qingmo reluctantly spoke again: "Why don't you let me go?"

However, others objected: "No!" Their voices were in unison, without any hesitation.

Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why?"

She felt that she was confident enough to get information from Xiaoru. After all, the original owner and Xiaoru had been together for such a long time, and she knew very well how to deal with Xiaoru.

Moreover, if Xiaoru saw with her own eyes that she was safe and sound, it might bring a greater blow to the other party, forcing her to tell the truth.

It is even possible that such stimulation will make Xiaoru give up resistance and confess everything.

But at this moment, everyone firmly disagreed with her idea.

"Mo'er, no!" Dongfang Qiong was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "Xiao Ru has been tortured beyond recognition. You can't go see her."

Dongfang Qingmo frowned: "Why?"

"You're still young. You shouldn't be responsible for these things." Dongfang Qiong looked at his daughter distressedly. "Besides, you just recovered from a serious illness. How could you go to a place like that?"

Dongfang Qingmo felt warm in his heart, but he still shook his head: "I am no longer a child. I will have to face these things sooner or later."

"But the methods used in the dungeon are very cruel. You won't be able to bear it." Dongfang Ti also advised, "Mo'er, you should listen to your elder brother."

Dongfang Qingmo was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Listen to me, I know you're worried about me, but I have to go see Xiaoru. Maybe only I know how to get the reason out of her."

"Mo'er, you've really grown up." Dongfang Qiong sighed, "But the environment in the dungeon is too harsh. I'm afraid you'll be frightened."

"No, Daddy." Dongfang Qingmo comforted him with a smile, "I have enough courage and determination to face everything."

At this time, Yu Jing also spoke up: "Mo'er, the methods in the dungeon are very cruel, you may not be able to bear it."

In their impression, Dongfang Qingmo has always been a delicate girl who should not face these dirty things.

What's more, she had just recovered from a serious illness and her body had not yet fully recovered.

"Well, Mo'er, the methods in the dungeon are very powerful, you'd better not see any bloodshed." Yu Jing advised.

"Mother, now that I've completed my coming-of-age ceremony, it's time for me to learn to be independent!"

She doesn't want to be a flower in a greenhouse.

"This……"

What Dongfang Qingmo said makes sense.

Dongfang Qiong's face was terribly gloomy. He gritted his teeth and ordered in a low voice, "Come here, clean up the dungeon. We'll be there soon."

He was unwilling to do so.

"Yes, sir." One of the guards took the order and hurried towards the dungeon.

A group of people walked towards the dungeon in a mighty procession. Their footsteps were orderly and heavy, as if carrying an oppressive atmosphere.

Since the dungeon had been briefly cleaned due to prior notice, the smell of blood was not as strong as one might have imagined, but it still gave people a chill.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, let me go in alone!" Dongfang Qingmo deliberately skipped Dongfang Qingshui and said in a firm tone.

When Dongfang Qingshui heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he also knew that he was in the wrong. He couldn't make it to her coming-of-age ceremony, so it was natural for her to be angry.

So he remained silent and did not refute.

Yu Jing hesitated, her eyes filled with worry, and asked softly, "Can you let mother accompany you in?"

She was worried that the child would be frightened.

Dongfang Qingmo looked at her seriously, his eyes firm, "It's okay, mother, trust me, okay?"

Dongfang Ti saw this and said, "Okay, we'll just wait here. If you feel unwell, come back immediately!"

If his brother and sister-in-law were to speak up, it would probably take a lot of effort to reach a consensus.

Dongfang Qingmo nodded slightly to show his agreement.

The servants carefully opened the cell door, making a creaking sound.

Dongfang Qingmo took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and slowly walked into the cell.

After entering the cell, she found that the whole room was filled with a dark and damp atmosphere, which made her feel oppressive and suffocating.

Although she tried her best to cover her mouth and nose, the strong smell of blood in the air still hit her nose.

Dongfang Qingmo almost couldn't help vomiting.

She had never experienced such a scene before and had only seen similar videos on her mobile phone before.

The original owner had no memory of this at all.

Now that I am facing it, I realize the horror and cruelty involved.

Dongfang Qingmo tried hard to overcome the physical discomfort, calmed his mind, and carefully observed his surroundings.

She found Xiaoru tied to an iron frame, her head drooping limply, as if lifeless. Her clothes had been whipped to shreds, barely covering her body, and every inch of her was stained with bright red blood.

At this time, a servant brought a basin of ice-cold water from the side and poured it on Xiaoru without hesitation.

Xiaoru suddenly screamed because the stimulation of the cold water made her feel intense pain.

Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, and she seemed to be desperate and terrified by what was happening before her eyes.

Suddenly, she raised her head and saw Dongfang Qingmo standing there. As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, her body trembled and she begged bitterly, "Miss, please save me, please save me quickly..."

She was really scared.

Dongfang Qingmo pinched his nose in disgust and asked coldly, "Why did you push me into this?"

What Xiaoru can't stand the most is being looked down upon by others, while she herself has no ability.

This contemptuous tone undoubtedly hurt her heart deeply.

She closed her eyes and stopped talking. Her heart was filled with resentment. She secretly cursed why she was not drowned and hated herself for not escaping in time.

Dongfang Qingmo was not angry. He just took a few steps back silently and continued to ask, "Did Luo Yousu instruct you to do this?"

Xiaoru chuckled and replied, "Yes, that's her."

Dongfang Qingmo winked at the servant holding a whip next to him.

"Snapped!"

The whip hit Xiaoru hard, making a crisp sound.

"what……"

Xiaoru's body kept shaking with screams.

Obviously, it was definitely not Luo Yousu who ordered it, otherwise she would not admit it so easily.

The reason why Xiaoru talked to Luo Yousu's maid was probably intentional, as she wanted to mislead the clues through her.

The mastermind behind this wants to have it both ways.

This is really confusing, Dongfang Qingmo thought to himself.

However, what confused her even more was that the original owner stayed in seclusion all day, almost isolated from the outside world. How could she offend others for no reason?

This question has been lingering in her mind and she can never find the answer.

Dongfang Qingmo fell into deep thought, puzzled. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, as if she had found the key to solving the mystery.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, a cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and she signaled the servant to stop.

"Xiao Ru, I heard that you have two younger brothers and they went to a private school some time ago?" She said in a calm tone, but there was an invisible threat in her voice.

She remembered that some time ago, a maid passed by her door and was talking about Xiaoru's younger brother.

The maids kept talking about their envy for Xiaoru's younger brother, but given Xiaoru's family financial situation, they simply could not afford to send their child to a private school.

The original owner didn’t think much about it at the time and was happy for Xiaoru.

All this is obviously not normal. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it, and this person is most likely the mysterious mastermind.

Xiaoru was extremely weak at this moment, and her voice became intermittent: "This matter has nothing to do with my brother. Please do not implicate innocent people..."

"Hmph, come here, bring Xiaoru's brother here." Dongfang Qingmo naturally would not believe her words.

"No, no, I confess, I confess! Please let my family go and spare my life..." Xiaoru finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy.

She was afraid of death, but also didn't want to implicate her family.

"Confess the truth first, and I won't harm your family." As for your life or death, that's hard to say.

If you had been obedient earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer all this physical pain. You're such a tough nut to crack.

"Yes, it was Luo Youzhu. She gave me some money and asked me to frame Luo Yousu at the young lady's coming-of-age ceremony..."

"Frame her? Then why did you push me?"

What kind of logic is this? It's completely outrageous.

It turns out that the original owner was a big victim.

"I, I, I..."

Xiaoru was speechless and unable to answer.

She couldn't say that Miss Jealous had everything and never had to worry about food and clothing.
