Chapter 56 Prodigy
Chapter 56 Prodigy
It's all over, it's all over!
The Qiao family has lost all hope!
Her own son is utterly useless, and she has no grandson to inherit the family business. Is the Qiao family really going to perish under her watch?
She staggered and almost fell to the ground, but was fortunately supported by Qiao Qingqiao and Qiao Qingle.
Qiao Jizhou slapped his thigh in desperation and cried out in a mournful voice.
"The only bloodline of my Qiao family! Gone just like that! Ah!!!"
He squatted on the ground and violently pounded his head with his hands, his cries of desolation and misery piercing the sky.
Qiao Qingshu watched this scene with a calm expression, but felt an indescribable sense of joy in her heart!
In her previous life, Xu Biyun gave birth to a boy safely, and the Qiao family doted on her. As a result, Xu Biyun was even more favored by Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jizhou.
From then on, Xu Biyun solidified her position as the matriarch of the Qiao family, taking control of the household affairs and enjoying exquisite and luxurious food, clothing, and daily necessities, as well as endless wealth and honor.
Qiao Qingshu thought to herself, "Xu Biyun, you're not going to have such a good life! I'll make you wish you were dead and suffer all kinds of human torment!"
"what!"
A sudden exclamation came from inside the room; it was Mr. Ouyang's voice.
The door was flung open in a flash, and Mr. Ouyang rushed out, his hands covered in blood, shouting...
"A monster! A monster! That fetus is a monster!"
As soon as Madam Qiao got close, she grabbed Mr. Ouyang's arm and asked, puzzled,
"What did you say, sir? What monster?! What monster?!"
Mr. Ouyang flung Mrs. Qiao's hand away and said angrily,
"How could I have taken your job! What bad luck! What kind of people has your Marquis's family offended! How could such a monster be born!"
After saying that, he picked up his medicine box and hurriedly ran outside.
"My abilities are limited! You should find someone more capable!"
The crowd outside rushed into the house, only to find it filled with the stench of blood. A furry, bloody creature was lying quietly beside Xu Biyun's legs.
Xu Biyun had already fainted from the pain.
The windows of the entire room were tightly closed, and the room was dark, bloody, and filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Qiao Qingshu stepped forward and lit the lamp. Old Madam Qiao rushed to the bedside to examine the bloody, mangled thing closely.
"what!!!"
Madam Qiao was so frightened that she took several steps back and almost fell, but was supported by Aunt Chen and Aunt He.
Aunt Chen couldn't resist her curiosity and went closer to take a look. She was shocked by what she saw.
She screamed and jumped around on the spot.
"Ah!!! It's a dead cat!!! Aunt Xu gave birth to a dead cat!!!"
Aunt He was timid, and when she saw clearly, she fainted with a roll of her eyes.
The room was filled with screams and chaos.
Standing in the crowd, Liu Wan'er felt as if the screams and curses around her were blocked by a barrier, and she felt cold all over.
She looked at her mother, still unconscious on the bed, and the mangled dead cat at her feet, and was gripped by unprecedented terror.
She quickly searched for Qiao Qingshu in the crowd.
She saw Qiao Qingshu standing steadily by the window, holding an oil lamp in her hand, looking coldly at her mother.
His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.
Liu Wan'er involuntarily shivered to the bone.
Qiao Jizhou was no longer in grief. He picked up the dead cat, and in a fit of rage, slammed it against the corner of the wall. The cat bounced several times, splattering blood all over the base of the wall.
"Guards! Seal Lanxiang Pavilion at all costs! Don't let a single person out! Don't utter a single word about what happened today!"
The Qiao family members inside the house were all so frightened that they looked at each other in dismay, and no one dared to say a word.
All the servants in Lanxiang Pavilion were confined to their quarters, and no one was allowed to leave.
Fushou Hall.
With trembling hands, Madam Qiao took out the brocade pouch that Ye Qingqiu had once given her from her bosom and handed it to Qiao Jizhou.
"This was given to me by Mr. Ye. I suspected at the time that this evil spirit was... was Xu Biyun..."
Qiao Jizhou took the note, learned the whole story, and was so angry that he pounded his chest and roared.
"Mother! Mother! Why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner!"
Old Madam Qiao stammered, unable to speak. She had intended to favor Xu Biyun, after all, she was her own niece.
She thought that even if Xu Biyun was the White Tiger Spirit, she would wait until she gave birth before kicking her out.
She never considered killing Xu Biyun; her worst thought was simply to get rid of her.
They were also afraid that if Qiao Jizhou found out the truth, he would harm their niece, so they kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone.
Now that Xu Biyun has given birth to a monster, he is terrified and realizes he can no longer hide it, so he has no choice but to reveal everything.
At that moment, Aunt Chen and Aunt He were both inside the room, and they were both shocked when they heard the news.
Aunt Chen secretly clapped her hands in her heart, thinking, "My goodness, she really hit the nail on the head by accident!"
Xu Biyun was originally a white tiger spirit; this child was a demon to begin with!
She actually helped the Qiao family achieve something.
Aunt He looked bewildered and terrified. She had only heard rumors about demons and evil spirits, but had never actually seen one.
I never expected to appear at the Marquis's residence. I was both surprised and frightened.
Qiao Qingle and Qiao Qingqiao were both young ladies, and had never seen such a bloody and terrifying thing in the inner quarters. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were led back to their own courtyards by their respective nannies.
Qiao Qingshu stood to the side, watching her grandmother and father's terrified and frightened expressions with a calm demeanor.
A dead cat scared them like this.
They are truly ignorant.
At this moment, Aunt Chen added fuel to the fire,
"Grandma, since we knew Consort Xu was an evil spirit, we should have gotten rid of her sooner. Now that she has given birth to a monster, the fortunes of our Marquis's mansion have been further damaged. If we don't deal with her in time, I'm afraid our Marquis's mansion..."
Qiao Jizhou grabbed his hair, his whole body trembling with rage, and roared,
"Mother! How could you not tell me about something so important sooner! If you had told me earlier, how could I have kept such a scourge in the manor! And now she has even given birth to a monster... If this gets out, my Marquis's manor will be completely ruined!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Madam Qiao dared not argue further, and only frowned and said,
"It's not too late now, the important thing is to figure out how to deal with this quickly!"
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Qiao Qingshu's lips.
Clapping my hands with delight, I thought, "Yes! That's exactly it! It's most interesting when people fight each other!"
Aunt Chen hurriedly offered her suggestions,
"If you ask me, we should drag her out under the cover of night as soon as possible, and make sure all the servants are well taken care of and their mouths are sealed shut. Just pretend nothing happened. If anyone asks, we'll say that Aunt Chen went back to her hometown to visit relatives, and after a few days, we'll say that she died on the way."
Qiao Qingshu nodded, which was a good idea, but she didn't agree, only observing the attitudes of the old lady and her father.
