Chapter 104 The Shen Family of Ganzhou
Qiao Qingshu had not seen her mother so lively in a long time.
In the past, my mother was always lifeless, uninterested in anything, living like a walking corpse.
Only after receiving news of her brother did her mother gradually come back to life.
Now, she is full of energy and vitality, and this kind of mother makes Qiao Qingshu feel gratified.
The mother's senses and emotions seemed to have returned; she was now capable of both love and hate, a living, breathing person again.
She nodded and smiled at her mother.
"Okay! Mother, your daughter supports you."
She turned around and splashed cold water, waking the two unconscious people up again. Fengniu and Zhuocheng woke up with a start.
The two men were terrified as they watched Bai Shi slowly walk away with a long sword in her hand.
Fengniu never imagined that the gentle and docile Bai Shi in her memory would have such a fierce and ruthless side.
She was so frightened that she immediately lost control of her bladder and began to cry out.
"Madam, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I was merely doing my job for money; I wasn't the mastermind behind it all!"
"You should go find Xu Biyun and Aunt Chen. It was their idea to abduct the legitimate son!"
With a swift motion, Bai pierced Feng Niu's heart with his longsword, blood splattering onto Bai's face.
Bai lowered his head, panting heavily, and struggled to push the sword deeper inside.
This was her first time killing someone.
Having lived a law-abiding life for most of her life, she finally felt the meaning of being alive.
She's no longer going to be some kind of domineering matriarch or a wealthy socialite.
She's determined to settle scores and avenge every wrong!
She wants to get justice for her son who has suffered for so many years!
"Pfft!"
Drawing her longsword, Bai Chanzi gazed slowly into Feng Niu's unseeing eyes and said...
"Don't worry, the mastermind behind this will die a much worse death than you!"
The same method was used to kill Zhuo Cheng.
Bai Chanzi's white clothes had been stained red.
The dungeon, which had been filled with screams just a moment ago, has now fallen silent.
Qiao Qingshu slowly stepped forward and helped her mother sit down, patting her back to help her catch her breath.
Bai Chanzi belatedly realized that her body was trembling, and she suddenly realized that she had just killed two people.
Looking at the two limp corpses, her hands were trembling inexplicably.
Shen Wenying stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chanzi's hand firmly,
"These two bitches ruined my nephew Anlan, they deserve to die!"
"Chanzi, don't be afraid. We'll handle these two corpses without anyone noticing."
"The Bai family is your strongest support. With us protecting you, nothing will happen to you!"
Feng Niu and Zhuo Cheng had been imprisoned in the Bai family dungeon for many days, a fact known to all the Bai family masters, including the old lady of the Bai family.
Old Madam Bai also made some harsh remarks,
"Let my daughter Chanzi handle it as she sees fit. Even if they are killed, we are not afraid, because the Bai family will protect us!"
Bai Chanzi looked at Shen Wenying gratefully and nodded.
At this moment, Qiao Qingshu also said,
"Mother, those two deserved to be killed! They deserved to avenge my brother!"
Bai Chanzi calmed down and gritted her teeth, saying...
"Yes, they deserve to die!"
"It's a pity that Xu Biyun died young. If she had fallen into my hands, I would have made her wish she were dead!"
While Xu Biyun was imprisoned, Qiao Jizhou and his wife couldn't sit still any longer. They bribed the jailers with a lot of money to poison her to death.
When Qiao Qingshu learned of this, she also felt indignant. This way of dying was too swift and decisive, which was really too good for Xu Biyun.
If she were in charge, she would torture Xu Biyun so much that she would bite her tongue and commit suicide.
Fortunately, there was still Aunt Chen.
Qiao Qingshu raised an eyebrow and said,
"Mother, I will definitely leave Aunt Chen to you to deal with."
After leaving the Bai family home, Qiao Qingshu was seen off by her aunt, Shen Wenying. Holding her aunt's hand, she said...
"Third Aunt, are Second Uncle and Third Uncle now part of the princeling faction?"
Shen Wenying hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,
"Now, the majority of people in the court support the Crown Prince. Yan Xiu is undoubtedly the future new emperor, and our Bai family should naturally follow the trend."
Qiao Qingshu nodded. The Crown Prince's situation was currently very good. Who could have imagined that he would eventually die at the hunting grounds?
When the court is shaken, the entire situation will be reshuffled. The first thing Xiao Chengyan will do after taking power is to deal with the Crown Prince's faction.
The Bai family was also implicated in this incident, and the entire family was greatly shaken, suffering a severe blow and never being able to return to its former glory.
Qiao Qingshu sighed softly and whispered her instructions.
"The crown prince is not necessarily the new emperor. Third maternal aunt, please pass on my words to second and third maternal uncles."
Qiao Qingshu had already met the Crown Prince when she suddenly remembered his fate. These factional struggles within the court were not something that happened overnight.
It would be best to remind the Bai family as soon as possible so that they can take action and prepare accordingly.
Shen Wenying frowned, looking at Qiao Qingshu with some confusion.
She couldn't believe that a young lady from a respectable family would dare to say such a thing.
If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this, it could lead to their death.
She looked around warily, then quickly and quietly pulled Qiao Qingshu along.
"Children shouldn't talk nonsense. How can we women in the inner quarters discuss matters of the court?"
"Shu'er, you must not say these things to anyone else. If someone uses them to make a fuss, you could lose your head."
Qiao Qingshu had guessed that her third aunt would react this way, and now that she said it sounded rather ridiculous and unbelievable.
Even her third aunt didn't believe her, let alone her second and third uncles who worked in the imperial court; they would definitely think she was talking nonsense.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, knowing that she needed to think of a way to gain the trust of her second and third uncles.
In this life, she is determined to protect the Bai family and prevent them from suffering any invasion or harm.
Knowing that further discussion was pointless, she soberly stopped bringing it up, nodded, and quickly left.
When Qiao Qingshu returned home, Wanqiu rushed over to report.
"Young Miss, you should go to Fushou Hall quickly. People from the Shen family of Ganzhou have arrived."
Qiao Qingshu had just entered the room and drunk a cup of tea when she turned around and headed towards Fushou Hall before she had even warmed her seat.
With these things happening one after another, Qiao Qingshu has no time to rest.
Before even entering the house, I could hear Shen Shi'an shouting and yelling.
"Your Qiao family is really capable. You've been holding my wife captive for half a month now, and we haven't heard a word from her or seen her."
"I thought she had been kidnapped by bandits on the way, I never imagined she had been held captive by your Qiao family!"
"What kind of logic is this? If the Second Master and the Old Madam don't give me an explanation today, I will definitely take this to the authorities!"
Qiao Qingshu slowly pushed open the door and entered, continuing the conversation.
"Then it's best to report this to the authorities. We can let the officials judge the case and investigate what exactly happened with this exorbitant loan!"
Shen Shi'an immediately fell silent, staring wide-eyed at the newcomer.
The laws of the Southern Zhao Kingdom explicitly prohibit private lending of large sums of money; if caught, the offender will be imprisoned for five to ten years.
If the number is too large, they might even be beheaded.
