Chapter 241: Revealing the True Face, How to Deal with Itself
The eldest lady had such an experience in her childhood.
So, when she saw Liao Yunfei, it was like seeing herself, and she treated Liao Yunfei especially well.
If these words were said to Qingqing, she would immediately jump up and fight with others, but Yunfei would just keep it in her heart and torture herself.
The eldest lady silently comforted herself in her heart, but it was still difficult to eliminate the pain in her heart.
"Mother, you will regret this!" Rong Qingqing covered her cheek and turned away.
"Qingqing..." the eldest lady called out dryly.
Rong Qingqing didn't even look back and continued to walk forward. Looking at Rong Qingqing's departing back, he was still in a trance for a long time.
She couldn't help but look down at her hands again. The temperature of her palms had not yet subsided and they were still burning.
Behind him, Liao Yunfei's crying sound was heard again.
The eldest lady finally came to her senses and turned towards Liao Yunfei.
"Yun Fei, don't take Qing Qing's words to heart. She didn't mean to insult you at all. Auntie believes that you would never have such thoughts. Qing Qing is still young, so don't bother with her."
"Aunt, I have never been bothered by Qingqing, but if a child like her can think of these things, others can definitely think of them too. This incident has also affected the reputation of the prince."
"Yun Fei, just wait for your aunt to investigate the matter thoroughly and clear you and the prince's name. By then, you can marry Mr. Luo earlier. As long as you have no involvement with the prince, everything will be back to normal."
I don’t know how to describe Liao Yunfei’s mood.
This result was completely different from what she expected.
"Aunt, what if Mr. Luo has a grudge in his heart and suspects that I have an affair with the prince, and secretly plots against me after marrying me?" Liao Yunfei still didn't give up.
"How dare he do that with my aunt here! Besides, Mr. Luo is definitely not that kind of person." The eldest lady didn't believe that the person she had observed for so long would be that kind of person.
"Madam, I dare to interrupt. My young lady's worries are not unreasonable. If that's the case, she'd better be with the prince. At the very least, the Huaiyang Palace will treat the young lady well for the sake of the Duke's Mansion." Liao Yunfei's maid took the opportunity to say something.
"Shut up!" Liao Yunfei shouted and quickly looked at the eldest lady's reaction.
The eldest lady had a gloomy expression on her face and it was hard to guess what she was thinking.
"Aunt, I once said that I would rather be the wife of a poor family than the concubine of a rich family. But this happened, as if this disaster was destined for me." After Liao Yunfei finished speaking, she started crying again.
The princess was already a little absent-minded.
"Yun Fei, let's talk about the marriage in a few days. Right now, we need to find out who is the mastermind behind this and clear your name and that of the prince first."
The eldest lady would never send Liao Yunfei to the Huaiyang Palace.
If that's the case, how can she face the princess and Ji Chuhe in the future?
"Yes, I'll listen to my aunt." Liao Yunfei didn't dare to say too much and could only respond.
On the way back from Liao Yunfei, the eldest lady kept thinking about what happened today.
Several thoughts popped into her mind.
It is indeed difficult to bribe a house-born servant, let alone a house-born servant like Liu Pozi who has a family to support.
She vaguely remembered that Liu Po's daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson this year and received a reward from the mansion.
In such a situation, it is even more impossible to sacrifice the lives of an entire family.
How much benefit can the Luo family give her that she can enjoy openly?
If not from the Luo family, then who does this Mrs. Liu belong to?
The eldest lady took a deep breath and decided to re-examine Liu Pozi early tomorrow morning.
As soon as she returned to her courtyard, the eldest lady saw a figure sitting in the front hall.
"Sister-in-law." The second wife called out with a smile.
At the same time, a figure appeared in the woodshed where Liu Pozi was imprisoned.
Liao Yunfei stood in front of Liu Pozi wearing a black cloak.
"Miss Liao, you must find a way to save me! If the eldest lady really wants to harm my family, I will not be able to keep the secret for you." Mrs. Liu threatened.
"It's so late, but I still risked my life to come and see you just to find a way to save you." Liao Yunfei responded coldly.
Mrs. Liu didn't believe Liao Yunfei.
She knows better than anyone what kind of person Liao Yunfei is.
It may appear to be a harmless little white flower in the early morning, but it is actually a venomous snake hiding in the shadows!
"Miss Liao, how are you going to save me?" asked Mrs. Liu.
"Mrs. Liu, the money I give you is enough for your family to live a good life, and your family will never earn that much money in their lifetime. You have to make some choices at this time. Your grandson is born with a disability and will require more money in the future. Think about how much your life is worth?" Liao Yunfei changed her usual humble tone and her voice became vicious again.
"Ms. Liao, what do you mean?"
"If you fall into my aunt's hands, there is no way for you to escape. Only if you commit suicide out of fear of the crime can the matter end satisfactorily."
Once a person dies, there is no evidence.
"Miss Liao, you are not here to save me, you are here to take my life!" Mrs. Liu didn't want to die yet, she hadn't lived enough.
"If you die, I will give you another sum of money, enough to treat your grandson."
When mentioning her grandson, Mrs. Liu became extremely sad.
It took a while for him to recover. "Ms. Liao, how much money are you going to give me?"
"One hundred taels, is that enough?"
"I am a human life after all. Give me one hundred taels! My life is not that cheap!"
"How much do you want?"
"At least five hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels! Are you a bandit?"
"Ms. Liao, I've been exposed anyway. I'm going to die. If you don't agree, I can still take someone with me before I die."
Liao Yunfei's face turned cold.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
When Mrs. Liu saw that Liao Yunfei agreed so readily, she felt a pang of regret.
It seems that she is going to lose!
"Then please, Ms. Liao, deliver the money to my son, and then have my son come to see me and make sure he receives the money. I will die immediately!"
"Mrs. Liu, don't go too far. I said I would give it to you, and I will!" Liao Yunfei shouted angrily.
"This concerns my own life and property, so of course I have to be cautious." Mrs. Liu is now fearless.
She has something on Liao Yunfei in her hand, and tonight is Liao Yunfei's last chance!
If the negotiations fail, Liao Yunfei will be completely defeated and may even be kicked out of the Duke's Mansion.
Liao Yunfei would never allow this to happen!
Now, even if Mrs. Liu wants more, Liao Yunfei will not refuse.
"Okay, I promise you!" Liao Yunfei nodded.
As she turned around, her pupils suddenly shrank!
