Duan Yunling's sudden appearance was unexpected by everyone.
Among them, Xin You was probably the only one who was not surprised.
After witnessing Duan Yunwan being pushed into the pool by the evil servant, and what she said first, whether it was out of conscience or concern for herself, if Duan Yunling still remained indifferent, it can only be said that this Shaoqing's house was in shambles.
"What did you hear?" The old lady looked at her granddaughter who stood up with a complicated expression.
Duan Yunling lowered his head and avoided all kinds of eyes: "After cousin Qing fell off the cliff, I overheard the eldest sister crying. The eldest sister cried and said that she didn't want to do this and that she was forced by her mother..."
Duan Yunwan looked at Duan Yunling in astonishment. Some of the strange things that she had ignored because she was too nervous these days finally came to light.
No wonder the third sister always avoided physical contact with her. They used to go in and out together, but then left alone when she wasn't paying attention.
It turns out that Third Sister already knew it!
Duan Yunling bit her lip and finally raised her head: "These days, I have been blaming myself and being scared. I don't know what to do... Cousin Qing, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Duan Yunwan heard Duan Yunling's cry and started crying too.
The crying of the two granddaughters made the old lady's head buzz and hurt, and Duan Shaoqing's head was as big as a bucket.
He originally wanted to suppress the matter first, but Duan Yunling stood up and testified, which completely lifted the fig leaf of this crime.
It seems that I have to give my niece an explanation today.
Duan Shaoqing thought like this, and his eyes slowly swept across the people in the room.
Fortunately, everyone present is considered one of our own. It would be even more embarrassing if the second wife was there too.
"You vicious woman, you are so cruel!" Duan Shaoqing had a problem in his mind and kicked Mrs. Qiao to the ground.
Mrs. Qiao fell to the ground unprepared and let out a scream.
Duan Yunling, who had been so nervous since he came out that his hands and feet were cold, looked at his stepmother's embarrassed appearance and suddenly became less afraid.
She didn't keep her eyes on Mr. Qiao, but on Xin You.
It turns out that the mountain that has been weighing on your head since you were young can also be moved?
Xin You knew it was not that simple.
Letting Ms. Qiao plead guilty is only the first step. Only by letting Ms. Qiao get the punishment she deserves can Kou Qingqing's spirit in heaven be comforted.
Whether the latter can be realized depends on the old lady and Duan Shaoqing. To be precise, it depends on Duan Shaoqing, who is the head of the family.
Judging from Duan Shaoqing's reaction, it didn't look like he really made the decision for his niece.
"Qingqing, it's my uncle who feels sorry for you and didn't realize that your aunt did such a thing."
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Xin You asked calmly.
Her calmness made Duan Shaoqing, whose eyes were red, seem a bit fake.
Duan Shaoqing and the old lady looked at each other and said their plan: "How about letting your aunt copy Buddhist scriptures in Yaxin Garden to atone for her sins?"
"Master!" Qiao's face was twisted, unable to accept the result of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.
Duan Yunwan and Duan Yunling felt relieved after hearing this.
From then on, the aunt's mother became the Buddha, and they no longer had to make a living under her.
Xin You glanced at Mrs. Qiao who was full of unwillingness, then at Duan Shaoqing who was eager to get things done, and shook her head: "No."
As soon as these words came out, Duan Shaoqing was stunned: "Qingqing, what do you mean-"
Duan Yunwan and Duan Yunling stared at Xin You closely, with shock in their eyes.
The old lady also moved her eyebrows.
In her opinion, her son's handling of this matter was an explanation to his granddaughter.
Qingqing is not satisfied?
Xin You glanced at Mrs. Qiao and said in a calm tone: "My eldest aunt ordered people to murder me first, and cousin Wan was murdered later. Now that the incident has happened, I no longer have to worry about the housekeeper. I can stay in my yard to study, plant flowers and sunbathe in the sun." ,do you mean this?"
In the future, Duan Yunchen will be named on the gold medal list and his official career will go smoothly, and he may earn a better career for his mother than he does now.
In another ten or twenty years, the world has long forgotten about the cousin in Shaoqing's residence, and Mrs. Qiao has become an old lady and begins to enjoy the greetings and filial piety of her children and grandchildren.
How can there be such good things in the world?
When Xin You asked, everyone's expressions became even more exciting.
Especially Duan Yunwan and Duan Yunling, the way they looked at Xinyou looked a bit like Xiaolian.
Being the mistress of the house and becoming the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng from now on is obviously a very miserable punishment, but how can I hear cousin Qing (cousin) say this, she is actually enjoying a blessing.
Could it be said that the end of the aunt's mother could be even worse?
"Qingqing, you are still young and don't understand the sufferings of the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng——"
"I understand." Xin You interrupted Duan Shaoqing's words and looked at him without flinching. "Uncle didn't understand. What I meant was that this kind of punishment is not enough."
As soon as these words came out, it was almost like breaking up.
Under the worried eyes of Duan Yunwan and Duan Yunling, Duan Shaoqing asked in a deep voice: "What do you want, Qingqing?"
Xin You said word for word: "Kill someone to pay for your life, and pay your debts for money."
She said each of these eight words with great emphasis, and both the first and second half of the sentence were so ironic to the Shaoqing Mansion.
"How come you have to kill someone to pay for your life? Aren't you a good person?" Duan Shaoqing smiled dryly, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"Both Cousin Wan and I survived. That's because we were lucky. We can't change the fact that my aunt ordered the murder." It’s different——”
The girl frowned, then straightened her eyebrows and said simply: "Then report it to the official. No matter what the official decides, I will accept it."
"Nonsense!" Duan Shaoqing was stepped on when he mentioned the reporter, and he finally couldn't maintain his uncle's gentle face. "Family scandals should not be made public. Qingqing, do you know the influence of the reporter on Shaoqing's house?"
"My surname is Kou." Duan Shaoqing's face was cold, and Xin You's voice was even colder.
"You -" Duan Shaoqing pointed at his niece, and at this moment he truly realized that the frosty girl in front of him was not his daughters under his control.
She can damage herself by eight hundred and injure her enemy by one thousand.
The old lady couldn't help but said: "Qingqing——"
"Grandma!" Xin You didn't give the old lady a chance to persuade her, and her coldness in front of Duan Shaoqing hardened into tears, "Although Qingqing's surname is Kou, she has always regarded you as her grandmother. First she fell off the cliff, and then she was frightened. , Qingqing almost never sees you again, she went with her mother..."
Xinyou choked and lowered her eyes to cover the coldness in her eyes.
Let her see that the old lady still has some mother-daughter affection for Kou Qingqing's mother.
When the old lady was struggling, Duan Shaoqing said coldly: "Qingqing, although you are not afraid of going to court, your cousins are."
"Uncle, are you reminding me that without Cousin Wan and Cousin Ling to testify, I won't win?" , to me it’s a win.”
Duan Shaoqing's face suddenly turned pale.
He just said this to let his niece retreat, but in fact, as long as the matter goes to court, the Shaoqing Mansion will lose.
He can't afford to lose this person!
"Listen to what the old lady means." In the tense atmosphere, the old lady finally spoke.
