Chapter 60 Questioning
Xu Biyun rushed forward, pushed aside the two maids, and began rummaging through the garbage.
Xu Biyun disregarded the filth and searched frantically.
Liu Wan'er stood behind Xu Biyun, her brows furrowed deeply.
She was afraid her mother would see that scene, but she also knew her mother would definitely see it.
Finally, at the very bottom, they found a damp, blood-stained gray cloth bundle, soft and damp, seemingly still warm.
Xu Biyun, clutching the cloth bundle, knelt on the ground with a thud and burst into tears.
"My son! You died such a terrible death!"
The two maids who were collecting trash nearby were so frightened that they backed away, watching the scene in horror.
Xu Biyun slowly untied the bundle, wanting to see her son one last time with a mother's love.
Liu Wan'er silently closed her eyes behind her mother.
Qiao Qingshu stood under the eaves, watching this scene through the fine rain curtain, and felt extremely gratified.
In her past life, she had two children, the first one was three months old, and the second one was five months old.
The first was a girl, the second a boy, both of whom died at the hands of Xu Biyun and her daughter.
She cried much more bitterly back then than Xu Biyun does today, but who paid any attention to her?
Did anyone help her?
No!
The heartless mother and daughter mocked and ridiculed her, stepping on her child's tiny corpse.
They trampled on the last bit of dignity Qiao Qingshu had as a mother.
What is this little lesson Xu Biyun learned today?
At this moment, Xu Biyun has not even experienced one tenth of the pain that Qiao Qingshu is going through!
"what!!!!!"
The entire mansion echoed with Xu Biyun's hysterical screams.
The two maids were so frightened that they covered their ears and ran away immediately.
The next second, Xu Biyun was so frightened that she fainted in the rain.
Liu Wan'er immediately stepped forward to help her unconscious mother up, looking for help, when she turned and met the gaze of Qiao Qingshu under the eaves.
Liu Wan'er's heart skipped a beat.
It was that same look in his eyes again.
Indifferent, disdainful, and contemptuous.
It's the way superiors look at subordinates.
Liu Wan'er was cold towards Qiao Qingshu, and this was the first time she had spoken rudely to her.
Are you satisfied?
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Qingshu's lips at that moment.
"Not enough."
With a slight sway of her skirt, Qiao Qingshu turned and gracefully departed.
Liu Wan'er was left behind, looking angry and helpless.
After Liu Wan'er settled her mother back in her room to sleep, she summoned all the servants and slaves in Lanxiang Pavilion for questioning.
He questioned his mother in detail about her itinerary and every move she made before she fell.
According to Amber, Xu Biyun fell on the steps when she returned to her courtyard alone from Aunt Chen's courtyard.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Liu Wan'er, holding an umbrella and several oil lamps, carefully examined the steps.
Much of the pine nut oil had already been washed away by the rain, leaving only a few oil stains on the steps.
Liu Wan'er's investigation came to an abrupt end here.
She inquired extensively and found that none of the servants or masters in the Qiao household had ever used pine nut oil; she had no idea where the oil came from.
Moreover, Qiao Qingshu did not approach Lanxiang Pavilion at all throughout the day, and even her maids and servants did not come.
All the servants in the mansion said they did not see anyone approach Lanxiang Pavilion that day.
Although Liu Wan'er was unwilling, she could not find any clues. Although she was annoyed and resentful, she could only give up helplessly.
When Xu Biyun woke up again, there was another huge scene.
Xu Biyun roared emotionally.
"That package doesn't contain my child! How could I have given birth to such a thing! You framed me! You can't stand to see me living a good life! Someone in the Marquis's mansion must have deliberately framed me!"
Liu Wan'er responded weakly.
“Mother, Mr. Ouyang delivered the baby himself, and everyone trusts him.”
Xu Biyun trembled with fear again,
"Did Second Master see it? Did Old Madam see it? What did they say? They...couldn't they be..."
Liu Wan'er told Xu Biyun everything she had heard at Fushou Hall, as well as her conversation with Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jizhou.
After listening, Xu Biyun's eyes gradually became vacant. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. This time, she finally had no strength left to question or shout.
She slowly collapsed onto the couch, closed her eyes in despair, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"How could this be? How could this be? I, Xu Biyun, have schemed for decades, thinking that endless wealth and glory await me. How could this be my fate? Is my life really destined to be so miserable? Am I really going to live in Bai Chanzi's shadow forever, forever overshadowed by a dead person? Waaah..."
For the first time, Xu Biyun felt so helpless and sad. She endured the intense pain all over her body, buried her head in the quilt, and sobbed softly.
Liu Wan'er sat at the dimly lit table, turning her head away so as not to hear her mother's cries, her gaze fixed on the corner.
That was the corner where Qiao Jizhou had thrown that monster during the day. The monster had already been sent to the mass grave, but traces of blood remained in the corner.
Liu Wan'er stared blankly at the bloodstains, still unable to believe it was real.
The mother actually gave birth to a dead cat...
This is absolutely bizarre...
She would never have believed it if Mr. Ouyang hadn't personally delivered the baby...
She scratched her hair helplessly, seemingly somewhat believing her mother's claim that she was a white tiger spirit.
Zhuqingxuan
Qiao Qingshu recalled the events of the day, her heart surging with emotion.
She knew that it was Aunt Chen's mother, Lu Guifen, who caused Xu Biyun to slip and fall.
She also knew that the real stillborn baby had been quickly taken away from the Marquis's residence in Mr. Ouyang's medicine chest.
She knows everything; she understands everything.
The feeling of having the people of the Manhou Mansion completely under my control is simply wonderful.
The next day
After breakfast, Qiao Qingshu took Xia Zhi and several strong servants to Haitang Garden.
Aunt Chen was eating breakfast.
Besides some fresh fruits and vegetables and pickled side dishes, Aunt Chen's breakfast today also included bird's nest porridge.
Qiao Qingshu knew just how happy Aunt Chen was about Xu Biyun's miscarriage yesterday.
Qiao Qingshu slowly sat down, raising an eyebrow and saying,
"Oh dear, Auntie, what a wonderful day it is today! I've only ever seen you eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge on your birthday. Is it your birthday today?"
Aunt Chen felt a little guilty and stammered,
"Oh, not at all. It's just that I couldn't bear to eat the bird's nest from previous years. Yesterday, my maid found it and told me it was almost spoiled. I was afraid of wasting it, so I made it to eat."
Turning her head and raising her hand, Aunt Chen hurriedly called to Hu Niu,
"What are you all standing there for? Serve a bowl for the young lady too."
Ever since Qiao Qingshu gave her the clothes, Aunt Chen's attitude towards Qiao Qingshu has improved considerably, and she has been very polite and considerate towards Qiao Qingshu in every way.
Qiao Qingshu waved her hand dismissively.
"No need, I ate breakfast before coming."
Aunt Chen asked cautiously,
"Young lady, is there anything you need? You could have just sent the maids. Why did you come all this way in this freezing weather?"
Qiao Qingshu has been coming to Haitang Garden far too frequently these days, and her attitude is different every time she comes, so Aunt Chen is really not sure what's going on.
Qiao Qingshu said with a smile,
"Auntie, have breakfast first, then we can talk."
After saying that, he sat down at the table and gestured for Aunt Chen to sit down.
Aunt Chen had no choice but to hastily drink the bird's nest porridge and then ordered her maid to remove the table.
