He was murdered after his family was wiped out and left with no descendants; his whole family knelt

Chapter 128 The Bewitched Third Sister

Qiao Jizhou frowned deeply. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized the crisis.

Princess Yongxian was spoiled by the Empress and had the worst temper.

With such a wife entering the household, how could Liu Wan'er possibly survive?

His initial desire to curry favor with Liu Wan'er vanished instantly, and Qiao Jizhou sighed deeply.

"Oh! What a wretched life. I thought she could turn a chicken into a phoenix and help my Qiao family, but now it seems she can't even save herself."

Qiao Qingshu said calmly,

"She chose this path herself, so she should bear the consequences."

Old Madam Qiao lay on the bed, looking at Qiao Qingshu without saying a word.

She was filled with resentment, but she couldn't stop the fact that Qiao Qingshu had replaced her.

But she couldn't make a fuss now. Old Madam Qiao squinted as she plotted her plan, enduring and waiting for the best opportunity to retaliate.

After chatting with Qiao Jizhou for a few more minutes, Qiao Qingshu bowed to the two of them and left.

The moment she met her grandmother's gaze, she suddenly saw murderous intent in Mrs. Qiao's eyes.

Qiao Qingshu maintained a smile throughout, pretending not to notice anything as she left.

She walked slowly along the path back to Zhuqing Pavilion, carefully savoring the expression on Old Madam Qiao's face just now.

"Pah! Shameless!"

Hearing a curse behind her, Qiao Qingshu turned around.

Then he saw his third sister, Qiao Qingle, standing not far away, staring at him with a look of disgust.

Qiao Qingshu stopped, turned her head to look, and frowned slightly.

"Qing Le, are you insulting me?"

Qiao Qingle clasped her hands together, somewhat timid, but still mustered her courage to respond loudly.

"Yes! Big sister, I'm talking about you."

Qiao Qingshu narrowed her eyes; she was indeed planning to have a serious talk with her third younger sister.

Now that we've run into each other halfway through, let's have a proper chat.

She slowly walked into the two-step path.

"Tell me then, why did you insult me?"

Qingyue pouted, clearly displeased.

"Big sister! You're bad!"

"You ruined my second sister's wonderful marriage! You can't stand seeing her marry someone better than you!"

"You also secretly sabotaged Cousin Wan'er's marriage. Did you kill her child? Are you jealous that she can marry Xiao Chengyan in your place? You can't stand seeing others living better than you, can you!"

Qiao Qingshu almost burst out laughing. She asked, as if teasing a child,

"Le'er, you used to only care about food and drink and never understood these things. Who taught you these principles?"

Qingyue pouted and said,

"My cousin Wan'er told me this before she left. She also told me to be careful of you, saying that you would also ruin my wedding."

"I was skeptical when she told me, but now I realize that everything she said was true!"

"You're just bad! You can't stand seeing others do better than you, you're jealous! You're disgusting!"

Qiao Qingshu looked at her silly, brainless, and easily manipulated third sister. If it weren't for Aunt He's words, she would have slapped her across the face long ago.

But at this moment, she still restrained herself and spoke politely.

"Liu Wan'er is trying to sow discord between us sisters."

"You can also ask your second sister whether she wants to get married but can't, or whether she simply doesn't want to get married at all."

Qing Le scoffed and retorted.

"Now that you're the head of the family, who would dare offend you? Of course, your second sister wouldn't dare to speak out against you."

"They are all afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you."

“You’re a bad person, and I’m the only one in the family who can see that clearly.”

At this moment, Qingqiao walked around the corridor and saw that her eldest sister and third sister were there. She wanted to go up and say hello.

Then she heard the third sister speak rudely, and she frowned and stepped forward to protect her eldest sister.

"What are you trying to do, Le'er! How can you talk to your older sister like that!"

Qingqiao, unusually, got angry, her face turning red as she scolded her third sister.

But Qingyue grabbed her second sister's hand and exclaimed.

"Second sister, you're afraid of her too, aren't you? She ruined your marriage, but you're angry but dare not speak out, aren't you!"

Qiao Qingqiao looked at her third sister as if she were a fool, and scolded her angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I never wanted to marry into the Prince Jing's mansion as a concubine. It was all thanks to my elder sister that I was able to get rid of this trouble."

"How can you say that it's the older sister's fault? Who exactly told you these twisted ideas?"

Qiao Qingshu stood with her arms crossed and said coldly to the side,

"Liu Wan'er."

Qiao Qingshu and Qiao Qingqiao exchanged a glance.

Qiao Qingqiao stepped forward, grabbed her third sister's shoulders, and shook her vigorously.

"Le'er, wake up! Liu Wan'er said that on purpose to ruin the relationship between us sisters!"

"I'm so grateful to you, big sister! How could it be like what Liu Wan'er said!"

Qing Le seemed to be under a spell, and didn't believe a word the two people said.

She broke free from her restraints, took a step back, and said angrily.

"You've all colluded, and I'm the only one in the whole family who can see through it all!"

"You idiots don't even know you've been sold out by Qiao Qingshu!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Qingqiao frowned, quite angry. She turned to comfort Qiao Qingshu,

"Big sister, third sister is young and doesn't know any better. She was easily fooled by Liu Wan'er's words. I'll have a proper talk with her tomorrow."

Qiao Qingshu recalled that in her previous life, she had been tricked by this third sister and almost lost her life.

In this life, I originally intended to educate my third sister before she was bewitched.

Qiao Qingshu had chatted and confided in this third sister more than once.

In retrospect, all the advice I gave her before was useless.

Liu Wan'er led her astray with just a few words.

Qiao Qingshu shook her head.

"You and Aunt He should help educate this girl. If she still doesn't repent, don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, Qiao Qingshu slowly left.

When Aunt He learned that her Qing Le had openly defied Qiao Qing Shu, she turned pale with fright.

Qingqiao spoke to Aunt He in detail, meaning she would try to persuade Qingle not to be bewitched by Liu Wan'er.

When Qingyue returned from outside, Qiao Qingqiao and Aunt He were sitting at the table talking.

Upon seeing Qing Le step inside, Aunt He was so angry that she jumped up and slapped Qing Le across the face without a second thought.

"You brat, I told you long ago to respect the eldest daughter. What right do you, a concubine's daughter, have to talk back to her?"

"Who gave you the guts! I think you're tired of living! I'm going to beat you to death today, you worthless wretch!"

As Aunt He was about to pounce on her and hit her again, Qingqiao grabbed her around the waist.

"Auntie, you mustn't! You mustn't!"

Qing Le had never been beaten like this before. When had her gentle mother ever gotten angry with anyone?

She never even hits or scolds her servants, yet today she actually hit herself in front of this woman.

Aunt He had never hit the Third Sister before, this was the first time.

Qingyue screams,

"Auntie, you hit me!"

"It's Qiao Qingshu complaining again, isn't it!"
