The fortune teller's sudden betrayal surprised everyone present.
Only Zhong Lingyu looked calm.
Zhong Mingyu's face changed slightly. She looked at the little girl with braids and walked to the fortune teller, "You just said you were trying to defraud money, so why did you change your story and slander my mother? Could it be... who is this little girl? "
She was aggressive, "You were afraid that Zhong Lingyu would hurt this little girl, so you turned against me and slandered my mother."
Zhong Yuming's head hurt so much that he couldn't tell the difference at all.
Zhong Lingyu twitched the corners of his lips and asked the little girl, "Do you recognize the man wearing a yellow robe and coat in front of you?"
The little girl's eyes were clear and she shook her head, "I don't know him."
The third aunt started to play around again and asked the fortune teller, "What does this little girl have to do with you?"
The fortune teller quickly shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
"So, what happened today was really a trap set up by the second aunt to drive away Miss Lingyu?" The third aunt was so happy that she continued to ask impatiently.
"Yes!" the fortune teller gritted his teeth, "Actually, there are no ghosts at all. It's all the mischief caused by the second aunt. She couldn't tolerate Miss Lingyu, so she asked me to act in this scene."
Zhong Mingyu clenched his fists, "Don't slander people with empty words!"
"I didn't slander." The fortune teller raised his eyes and glanced at Zhong Mingyu, then lowered his head timidly.
Zhong Yuming had a splitting headache, "Then why didn't you admit it at first?"
"My second concubine's people threatened me that if I dared to tell the truth, I would not be able to stay in Yuncheng any longer." The fortune teller was trembling violently.
"Then why did you change your story again?" Zhong Yuming felt that his head was about to explode.
The fortune teller glanced at the little girl with braids and quickly lowered his head, "I'm afraid that my second aunt will use this matter again to threaten my family. I also have an old mother."
"That's unreasonable!" Zhong Yuming waved the vase placed on the ancient shelf to the ground.
There was a loud bang, which frightened Zhong Mingyuan.
The third aunt was so annoying that she dragged the fortune teller down and beat him.
Zhong Lingyu personally sent the little girl home.
When she returned to the Bell Mansion, the fortune teller was holding his waist and walking along the wall with a painful expression.
When he saw Zhong Lingyu, he plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Miss, please spare that little girl's life. Even if you beat me to death, I will admit it!"
Zhong Lingyu sneered, "There are a lot of cheaters and swindlers in your industry, but you should also know what money can be earned and what money cannot be earned. If I hadn't found out that you had this illegitimate daughter, I would have been the unlucky one today. Now that I think about it, you really should have been beaten to death."
"I am a good-for-nothing, and I would not regret my death. I only hope that the eldest lady will spare my daughter's life!" The fortune teller knelt on the ground and spoke sincerely.
Zhong Lingyu said: "I never wanted to harm her life, but you cooperated with Mu Denglan to harm me, so I had no choice but to use her to threaten you. But don't worry, I have sent her home safely."
"Thank you, Miss." The fortune teller kowtowed vigorously.
"I'll give you a piece of advice!" Zhong Lingyu said, "You are so audacious, having an affair with someone else's concubine, and still giving birth to this little girl. This matter will come to light sooner or later. It's better to think about it now, how to get away with it, otherwise, you, That concubine and your daughter will not survive."
The fortune teller was in grief, "Jinxiu and I fell in love. She was kidnapped to be my concubine. Before that, she was pregnant with my child. I was supposed to take her and my daughter away. But now, my daughter doesn't even know that she is there." She doesn’t recognize me as my father.”
He lay on the ground crying.
Zhong Lingyu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I will not pursue you, but there is no guarantee that Mu Denglan will not find someone to retaliate against you, so you can take care of yourself."
What answered her was a deep cry.
There are too many miserable people in this world, and Zhong Lingyu herself is one of them. She has no intention of caring about others.
She returned to the Zhong Mansion.
The Zhong Mansion was in chaos.
At some point, Zhong Yuming dragged Mu Denglan to the first floor.
Mu Denglan's hair was disheveled, her face was all stained with makeup, and she looked particularly embarrassed.
Zhong Yuming pushed Mu Denglan to the ground and kicked her hard, "You are so cruel, you can't tolerate my eldest daughter. You even bribed a fortune teller to act like this to deceive me. You even taught your daughter to become a poisonous woman. I'll beat her to death." you."
Throughout the first floor hall, Mu Denglan's tragic screams could be heard.
The third aunt sighed beside her, "It's true that the second aunt can't tolerate the eldest lady, so why did you lie to the master? Don't you know that the master hates others lying to him the most. Second aunt, why are you so confused? ah!"
She pretended to wipe away tears.
But Zhong Lingyu clearly saw her third concubine smiling, and she couldn't control the corners of her lips rising when she laughed.
At this time, Zhong Mingyuan stepped forward to stop him, crying and pleading for mercy on Mu Denglan's behalf, and was also slapped.
Zhong Mingyu is undoubtedly the calmest.
Zhong Mingyu knelt down without saying a word, then looked in her direction with sinister eyes.
Zhong Lingyu smiled.
Zhong Mingyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Mu Denglan was severely beaten and imprisoned in the backyard woodshed.
That's where Zhong Lingyu was once imprisoned.
Things changed, and Mu Denglan was imprisoned in that place.
Zhong Lingyu thought it was ridiculous.
After teaching Mu Denglan a lesson, Zhong Yuming began to interrogate Zhong Mingyuan.
Zhong Mingyuan was so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Zhong Mingyu took a deep breath, knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, the third sister is just taking the yellow talisman for mother. She doesn't know anything, and I don't even know what's going on here."
"Not sure?" Zhong Yuming's face turned blue, "It's just Ming Yuan. I saw that you were so eloquent just now, it didn't look like you were unclear at all."
Zhong Mingyu looked calm, "Dad, I was kept in the dark just like the third concubine. I thought that the third concubine and sister Lingyu were deliberately targeting my mother, so they kept defending and arguing. Daughters don't I hope my mother will suffer. But now, I understand that I wrongly blamed Third Aunt Tai and Sister Lingyu."
The third aunt snorted coldly, "The fourth lady is really articulate. In just a few words, she picked it off."
"Shut up!" Zhong Yuming pinched his eyebrows and shouted angrily.
The third aunt trembled for a moment and did not dare to add insult to injury.
Zhong Yuming slammed the whip to the ground, "Today's matter has come to an end. If anyone dares to play tricks behind my back in the future, the second aunt will suffer the consequences. In addition, you are not allowed to deliver food to the second aunt without my permission. The third aunt Tai, keep an eye on me."
"I understand, sir, it's just that the second aunt was imprisoned in the woodshed. What happened at home..." The third aunt asked tentatively.
Zhong Yuming said: "I'll leave it to you."
"Yes!" The third aunt raised a proud smile towards Zhong Mingyuan and Zhong Mingyu.
Zhong Mingyuan was so angry that he wanted to tear the third concubine's mouth open, but Zhong Mingyu stopped her.
Then, Zhong Mingyu pulled Zhong Mingyuan upstairs.
Zhong Mingyu glanced at Zhong Lingyu at the corner, his eyes sinister, like a dormant poisonous snake.
There was an invisible line of smoke between her and Zhong Lingyu.
Zhong Lingyu has already taken over this 'war'.
She will avenge her mother sooner or later.
Today is just the beginning.
The day when the fish is dead and the net is broken will never take long.
