Chapter 27: Death is Imminent
Luo was thinking when she suddenly felt her wrist tighten. It turned out that Zhang Yougen had suddenly grabbed her wrist with great force!
She looked at Zhang Yougen in surprise, but saw Zhang Yougen glaring at her fiercely, his eyes full of warning: "Hurry up and leave!"
She staggered out of the Tu family's gate as Zhang Yougen pulled her, holding Sun Qingqing in his hand.
The three of them left in a very embarrassing manner. Because they came in the Tu family's carriage, they had no car to go back to the county town. They could only spend money to rent an ox cart from the village and drove out of Tujia Village.
Sun Qingqing kept her head down the whole time, secretly pulling at the old clothes on her body.
This was the clothing Luo had brought, and she didn't know who had worn it. Because it had been washed well, the clothes were still soft on her body, but she still felt uncomfortable all over, as if countless insects were crawling on her skin.
Ever since she came to the Tu family, she has never worn other people's old clothes!
The more Sun Qingqing thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She felt extremely bitter in her heart, as if she was soaked in coptis water.
Watching the Tu Family Village gradually disappearing into the distance, she clenched her fingers tighter and tighter, secretly swearing in her heart: Even if the Tu Family kicks her out today, one day, she will become the wife of a high-ranking official and make everyone here regret it!
I didn't expect that just as I had this thought, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my heart!
……
Xie family.
Not long after Sun Qingqing and the other two left, the village head also said goodbye.
Only Tu Yong, Liu Zhichun and Xie Xiu were left in the room.
Tu Jiaojiao took Xie Ying and Xie Di to stay in the inner room. Because they were still in confinement after giving birth, it was not convenient for them to go out. They were afraid that they would catch a cold and get sick.
Tu Yong thought of the way Sun Qingqing and the other two looked when they left, and couldn't help but sigh: "That girl must have completely hated us."
Liu Zhichun smiled nonchalantly, "Even if I didn't say that, she would still hate me in her heart. If that's the case, why should I put myself in such a difficult position?"
It's just right, it's time for her to see clearly what kind of person the good mother she thought she was is!
The Tu family has raised her for so many years, but she is still as greedy and shameless as her biological mother. This shows that no matter how good you are to some people, they can't change the bad habits they brought from their mother's womb!
Fortunately, she and Xu switched Yingying this time, and Ah Xiu discovered it in time. Otherwise, if they had succeeded, we would have raised a daughter for our enemy and would have ended up raising another ungrateful person!
Sun Qingqing dared to help outsiders poison her and switch her granddaughter, so she never thought of letting this little bitch go!
But now the news has become a hot topic. If something happens to Sun Qingqing, any outsider who is not stupid will suspect them.
So this matter cannot be rushed.
Let Sun Qingqing go to Zhang's house first and feel how "well" her mother Luo treats her. After the limelight has passed, we will crush her to death completely!
Tu Yong had no idea what she was thinking and felt extremely ashamed when he heard it.
Back then, he felt sorry for Sun Qingqing and thought about how her father was a good man but died on the battlefield at a young age, so he insisted on raising Sun Qingqing.
He even sympathized with Luo's difficult situation and let her take away the five taels of compensation silver without asking her for a single copper coin.
As a result, he carefully raised Sun Qingqing and chose Song Xingzhou as her husband. However, she looked down on Song Xingzhou because of his poor family and thought he was deliberately humiliating her.
It really chilled him to the bone!
If he had known this would happen, he should not have been so kind as to raise that girl.
Not only did he create hatred, he also almost harmed his granddaughter.
Although the person has been driven out now, Sun Qingqing is a person of that temperament and I am afraid she will not let it go.
Tu Yong thought about this and finally couldn't help but said, "I think that girl has ulterior motives. We should report it to the police."
"There's no need to go to all that trouble." Xie Xiu smiled and shook his head. "The government will definitely prefer the theory that Sun Qingqing was poisoned and coerced by Xu to the theory that she and the Xu family conspired together. This matter has already been concluded. It would be inappropriate for us to overturn it now."
Tu Yong frowned, his face a little gloomy, but he did not interrupt.
He knew that what Xie Xiu said made sense.
Xie Xiu continued, "So instead of reporting to the authorities and having them punish her for the baby swap, we should find someone to keep an eye on her and the Zhang family.
She was about to reach marriage age and was quite pretty. The Zhang family would definitely find someone to arrange a marriage for her and try to sell her for a good price.
Sun Qingqing has been accustomed to being the second daughter of the Tu family over the years. Now that she has gone to the Zhang family, the feeling of living under someone else's roof must be very unpleasant.
Even if she hates us, she can't take revenge on us for the time being. Instead, she has to be busy planning a good marriage for herself.
She looks down on Song Xingzhou and is obviously trying to climb up the social ladder. I want to see what kind of person she can climb up to."
Liu Zhichun laughed when he heard this: "She is indeed the same as her mother. When the news of her father's death came, her mother wanted to offer herself to you and climb up the high branch, but unfortunately she failed.
Now that she's grown up and has already been engaged, she still wants to marry someone higher up. I also want to see what kind of man she can find after she breaks off her marriage proposal with Song Xingzhou."
Xie Xiu was startled when he heard this and couldn't help but secretly glance at Tu Yong. Unexpectedly, Tu Yong was very alert. As soon as he walked over, he met Tu Yong's angry eyes and was glared at by him in warning.
Xie Xiu quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending nothing had happened, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
Liu Zhichun suddenly stood up and said, "Well, no matter what, it's a good thing that Sun Qingqing's trouble has been solved.
Although I just kicked him out, I was really happy that there was no such an eyesore in my home.
I went in to check on Jiaojiao and the kids. I don't know how much Jiaojiao heard, so I went to chat with her for a while."
After she finished speaking, she walked into the inner room. Tu Yong didn't dare to follow her in, so he took the opportunity to glare at Xie Xiu fiercely.
Xie Xiu was speechless: "..."
Why are you glaring at me? I didn't say that Luo Shi had ever shamelessly hooked up with you.
It was clearly my mother-in-law who said that, so why is she just looking at him fiercely?
Do you have the guts to be mean to your mother-in-law?
Xie Xiu complained in his heart, but Tu Yong winked at him, then stood up and motioned him to leave.
He hesitated for a moment, but still followed Tu Yong out.
At the same time, Liu Zhichun came to the inner room and saw Tu Jiaojiao sitting on the head of the bed.
There was also a doll in the cradle beside the bed, and it was Xie Ying.
Her swaddling clothes are red, while Xie Di's are red with some black patterns, making them very easy to recognize.
Liu Zhichun first looked at Xie Ying in the cradle. Seeing that she was not asleep but lying quietly with her big, dark eyes open, he smiled lovingly and asked Tu Jiaojiao softly, "Did the children bother you?"
Tu Jiaojiao smiled gently and lowered her voice as well, afraid of waking up Xie Di who was soundly sleeping. "No, the children are all very well behaved and rarely cry."
"I think they're both very well-behaved. They're obviously blessed, so don't dwell on what happened that day. The most important thing is to take care of your health and your two children."
As Liu Zhichun spoke, he patted Tu Jiaojiao's hand soothingly.
In fact, she was also very scared when she thought about how Xie Ying was almost switched.
Now the rumor has spread everywhere that Xu is the concubine of a criminal official in the imperial court, and that she switched Xie Ying with him so that Xie Ying could be exiled to the border instead of her daughter.
It's really vicious!
It was a pity that she had been living in the countryside for all these years and had lost her initial vigilance, allowing Sun Qingqing and that Xu family to scheme against her.
If she had been more alert and not been poisoned, and had personally watched the birth of the baby in the delivery room, how would those people have had the chance to switch the babies?
Liu Zhichun was furious, but he still wore a kind smile on his face: "Sun Qingqing has already followed Luo to the Zhang family, but don't worry, I won't let her life get easy in the future."
"I know. Mother once said that if you don't kill the snake, you'll suffer from it."
Tu Jiaojiao smiled knowingly, "In order to take down the Xu family and to save the Tu family's reputation, Xie Lang said that Sun Qingqing was poisoned and coerced by the Xu family.
Although Sun Qingqing got away with it, we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future, so there's no need to rush. Now that she's broken off the engagement and gone to the Zhang family, her future will definitely not be easy.
So mother, don't worry about dealing with her. Just leave this matter to Xie Lang. Who is Sun Qingqing? Why let her dirty your hands? "
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Liu Zhichun agreed with a smile, but he had already made up his mind to spread the news that Sun Qingqing assisted Xu in poisoning her.
She wanted to see which decent family would dare to marry such a vicious-hearted young lady!
Xie Ying listened with her ears perked up, and suddenly felt that this grandmother was very unusual. She was obviously ruthless, but her words were gentle and tender. She was simply a top master of disguise!
But Sun Qingqing can't die now. She has to keep this woman to verify an important matter.
