Chapter 266 Apologize to Your Sister-in-Law
Mo Qingkui smiled slightly and looked at Eunuch Li, saying, "Understood, I will go now."
But after she finished speaking, she didn't move immediately. Instead, she slowly and deliberately straightened her clothes.
She looked up at Consort Xian and said, "The Emperor insisted on summoning me, and I had no choice but to stay and enjoy the plum blossoms with you. Please don't blame me, sister."
After saying that, she sighed softly, "Ever since I was poisoned, the Emperor has been even more concerned about my health than before, and he wants to be involved in everything."
"He makes sure I drink the medicine three times a day before he feels at ease; he can't miss a single dose."
The more Consort Xian listened, the uglier her face became.
She finally understood; that vile Consort Chen was deliberately showing off to her!
Seeing her expression, Mo Qingkui felt even more smug. She tossed her cloak aside and followed Eunuch Li as they turned and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Consort Xian took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.
"Bitch! Bitch!"
Consort Xian gritted her teeth in a low voice, her gaze chillingly cold.
Hanzhang Hall.
Consort Xian returned to her bedchamber and slammed the vase on the table to the ground.
The vase suddenly shattered, shards of porcelain scattering everywhere.
She pressed down hard on the table, her nails almost digging into the wood grain, her eyes brimming with anger and jealousy.
"You wretch! You wretch!" Consort Xian gritted her teeth, so angry she was almost going mad.
The maids in the hall knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say a word.
Kill her! Kill her!
Consort Xian had only one thought left in her mind.
We failed to poison her last time, but this time we're determined to kill her!
Consort Xian suddenly turned her gaze, her eyes flashing with a chilling coldness as she glared at Su Yun, who stood beside her.
"You, go back to the Wang family immediately and deliver what I need to the palace!"
Su Yun trembled and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, this servant will go right away."
The main courtyard of the Marquis's residence.
Dinner was as plentiful as usual.
But apart from Qin Jiuwei and the children, no one else was in the mood.
Madam Xie took two bites and then put down her chopsticks, showing no appetite whatsoever.
She looked up at Xie Zhongzhi, her brows furrowing tightly. "Zhongzhi, have you found Liu'er yet?"
Upon hearing this question, Xie Zhongzhi's already unpleasant expression turned even more somber, as if ink could drip from it.
His voice was low, tinged with impatience and annoyance: "Not yet."
"Not yet?" Lord Xie slammed down his chopsticks, making a crisp sound.
"So many days have passed, and you can't even find a single vulnerable woman? Have you not even bothered to look?"
Xu Liuer is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family and the mother of the eldest grandson. What's going on with her being away from home all this time?
It’s so embarrassing to tell anyone about it!
Xie Zhongzhi's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I have already sent people to search, but... we haven't found any trace of them yet."
"Still no trace? Did she just vanish into thin air?" Lord Xie demanded in a cold voice.
"Father, I want to find Liu'er more than anyone else!" Xie Zhongzhi was also angry at this moment.
He was heartbroken and saddened to lose Xu Liuer! Why is everyone blaming him now?
It's not like he didn't put in the effort to find it!
Lord Xie snorted coldly: "Where could a frail woman like her hide? Think carefully, who else does Liu'er know? Where could she go? Who else knows?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhongzhi suddenly raised his eyes, his gloomy gaze fixed on Qin Jiuwei opposite him.
"There is indeed someone who knows where Liu'er is."
His voice was icy, with a hint of gritted teeth.
Xie Jue, who was munching on a chicken leg nearby, immediately complained, "Second Uncle, why are you glaring at my mother?"
My father is busy and not home, but that's okay, I'm here for him!
Now he is his mother's brave little protector!
Xie Zhongzhi's forehead veins throbbed. He took a deep breath, finally suppressing his anger, and coldly snorted.
Both Madam Xie and Lord Xie had a look of doubt in their eyes at this moment.
What's going on here?
Why are Chongzhi and Jiuwei having a falling out?
Qin Jiuwei didn't speak, and Xie Jing, who was drinking soup, put down his soup spoon.
He looked up at Lord Xie and Madam Xie, his voice gentle and polite, but with a hint of coldness.
“Grandfather and great-grandmother do not know, but a few days ago, my second uncle barged into Qinglan Courtyard and questioned my mother and second aunt about their whereabouts. His words were harsh.”
He explained it clearly in a few words, and his words finally settled on the phrase "intense".
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie became angry, her face instantly darkening as she glared at Xie Zhongzhi.
"How could you do such a rude thing? What does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"
Xie Zhongzhi remained silent, his face grim.
Lord Xie's expression also turned cold. "What were you doing causing trouble at Jiuwei's place? You're really disappointing me more and more!"
What a wonderful daughter-in-law Jiuwei is!
Not only did they manage the Marquis's mansion perfectly, but they also brought them immense glory during the epidemic!
Xie Zhongzhi actually dared to bully her behind their backs!
Perhaps the word "disappointment" provoked him, for Xie Zhongzhi suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze bloodshot, and spoke somewhat recklessly.
"You know nothing! Liu'er's escape is definitely related to Qin Jiuwei! She's Liu'er's only friend, so she must know where Liu'er is! But she just won't say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
"You are truly insolent!" Lord Xie slammed his hand on the table. The sudden force from a martial artist caused the table to tremble three times.
The people at the table fell silent instantly.
"You said Jiuwei wanted to help Liu'er escape, why? Why does Liu'er want to escape? What happened that made Jiuwei take such a big risk to help her?"
Lord Xie glared angrily at Xie Zhongzhi.
"I—" Xie Zhongzhi wanted to speak in rebuttal, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Why did Xu Liuer run away? He didn't know.
Even now, he doesn't know.
He treated Xu Liuer so well, giving her everything he could! And she was so ungrateful!
"Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm? How can you be so sure it's the Nine Micro Gang? Do you have any evidence?" Lord Xie continued to shout.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhongzhi frowned deeply.
He had no evidence...
He originally intended to use Granny Qing as a starting point, but he discovered that Granny Qing was indeed ordered by his grandmother to clean the pond.
Each courtyard was also assigned menial workers, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The maid who helped Mo Qingkui escape also disappeared without a trace. Not only did she disappear, but her whole family vanished overnight!
Xie Zhongzhi's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
That bitch Qin Jiuwei, she's so cautious in her actions!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lord Xie became even angrier.
"You say you don't have this, you say you don't have that, yet you dare to barge into your sister-in-law's yard to interrogate her, and dare to shout and yell at the dinner table!"
Lord Xie's voice grew colder, and the anger in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"You're even less well-behaved than Xie Wanning!"
Xie Wanning, who was eating nearby: ...
She really didn't do anything after the pandemic!
Lord Xie had a cold face.
He is becoming increasingly disappointed in Xie Zhongzhi.
He is not as talented as Xie Yanli, so it's fine if he can't achieve anything significant.
As long as he is of good character, he is still a good kid.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this!
Qin Jiuwei's contributions to the family are evident to everyone.
She has done so much for this family, yet she has been unjustly accused and framed!
Madam Xie sighed heavily, "Chongzhi, you were really in the wrong this time. Go and apologize to your sister-in-law."
"What?" Xie Zhongzhi immediately looked up, his tone full of disbelief. "I apologize to her?"
Qin Jiuwei abducted his wife! And now he wants her to apologize?!
Are you all crazy?
"Grandmother, it's alright." Qin Jiuwei spoke at this moment, her voice soft and gentle, like a gentle stream.
She smiled at Madam Xie and said, "Don't get angry over such a small matter. Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything."
"My second brother only scolded me a few times, but he wasn't hurt at all, so I'm fine."
Although she was smiling, there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in her eyes, which she deliberately suppressed and did not show.
Seeing this, Old Madam Xie and Lord Xie felt even more distressed.
How can she be so sensible!
