Chapter 28 The Truth Behind the Tragic Death
Liu Zhichun said that Sun Qingqing assisted Xu in poisoning, and he did not mean to frame her.
As an outsider, Xu had no chance of entering the kitchen on normal days.
If it weren't for Sun Qingqing's help, how could Xu poison her and her daughter without anyone knowing?
Even if it was said to the outside world that Sun Qingqing was poisoned by Xu first, that's why she was coerced by her.
But who would dare to marry a young lady who poisoned her benefactor and helped outsiders switch her benefactor's child for her own sake?
Just look at Song Xingzhou and you will know.
If he didn't intend to cancel the engagement, why would he suddenly come to the Xie family and cancel the engagement so decisively?
Sun Qingqing didn't know where she got the confidence from, she even looked down on Song Xingzhou.
If Tu Yong had not been kind to him, why would Song Xingzhou get engaged to her?
Now that the engagement has been broken off, she still thinks she got the better of herself and finally got rid of her poor fiancé Song Xingzhou.
Little did she know that it would be impossible for her to find a good husband-in-law in the future.
Liu Zhichun smiled sarcastically in his heart, but his face was still full of kindness.
She chatted with Tu Jiaojiao for a while, then looked at the two children. Seeing that Xie Di was sleeping soundly and Xie Ying was also sleepy and began to yawn, she suddenly smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
Even after Tu Yong finished talking to Xie Xiu and came in to find her, Liu Zhichun was still sitting by the bed, reluctant to leave.
Tu Yong looked at Xie Ying who was already fast asleep in the cradle, his face also full of love.
The two stayed at Xie's house until dinner and then went back, saying they would come again tomorrow.
Anyway, the two families were close to each other, and when the house was built, it was for convenience, so it was built directly next to the Tu family.
There is a wall between the two houses, and a moon gate is opened on the top of the wall to facilitate visiting between the two sides.
So it is very convenient to travel.
On weekdays, once the door is closed, people outside will have no idea how the two families visit each other, let alone interfere.
Xie Xiu personally sent the two elders to the Moon Gate, then went back to get some hot water and helped Tu Jiaojiao wipe her body and wash her feet.
Tu Jiaojiao thought about Sun Qingqing who was kicked out during the day, and she was still a little worried: "I don't think Sun Qingqing will give up. She needs someone to keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything bad behind her back."
As Xie Xiu wiped her, he said, "Yeah, I thought so too. That's why I've already hired someone to keep an eye on the Zhang family. If she wants to do anything bad, they will definitely take action."
In fact, he felt that his mother-in-law would also make some moves. After all, she had served the nobles in the palace, and even walked out of the imperial city alive, and received the nobles' rewards.
I just don’t know which noble person my mother-in-law served back then.
Xie Xiu had no doubt that with Liu Zhichun's intelligence and her concern for Tu Jiaojiao, she would definitely take action against Sun Qingqing.
After all, she and Tu Yong only had one child, Tu Jiaojiao, and the child born to Tu Jiaojiao and her was the apple of their eyes.
Since Sun Qingqing did something like that, Liu Zhichun naturally had to transform into a tigress to let her know how terrifying a tigress protecting her cubs can be!
But let’s not tell Jiaojiao about these things for now.
Since Jiaojiao said so, it means that her mother-in-law did not tell her.
He'd better stop meddling.
Otherwise, if he angers his mother-in-law, he will be in trouble in the future.
After Xie Xiu cleaned Tu Jiaojiao, he poured out the used water, fetched new hot water, and then he and Tu Jiaojiao bathed the two children separately.
Xie Ying felt a little embarrassed. Although it was Tu Jiaojiao who was bathing her and there was a screen between them so Xie Xiu couldn't see her at all, she still felt embarrassed even in front of Tu Jiaojiao, her mother.
With the stimulation of hot water, her whole body turned red and she curled up into a ball like a boiled shrimp.
Thinking of shrimp, Xie Ying felt as if she could smell the aroma of stir-fried crayfish, and her mouth immediately watered with greed.
Tu Jiaojiao quickly wiped it for her, teasing her with a smile: "Hey, Yingying, why are you drooling? Did you think of something delicious?"
Xie Ying blushed instantly and couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her face, not wanting Tu Jiaojiao to see it.
Woo woo woo, she doesn’t want to do that either!
It’s all because this little baby’s body is so useless!
I start drooling when I'm hungry and can't control it at all!
She's so embarrassed!
Luckily no one here knows her!
Yes, no one here knows her, why should she be shy?
Xie Ying instantly calmed down and gave Tu Jiaojiao a big smile. However, she accidentally revealed her pink, toothless gums.
Xie Ying: “…”
She silently closed her mouth, smiled, and pretended nothing had happened.
Tu Jiaojiao had a hard time. She tried hard to hold back her laughter, for fear that she would accidentally burst out laughing and make her daughter unhappy.
She had discovered long ago that despite the child's young age, he was actually very concerned about his reputation.
If she finds out she's embarrassed, she'll be depressed for a long time!
So you have to hold it in!
Never laugh out loud in front of your daughter!
Tu Jiaojiao endured and endured, and tried hard to think of many sad things. Finally, she forced herself not to laugh, changed Xie Ying into clean clothes, and wrapped her in swaddling clothes.
At this time, Xie Xiu also came in holding the wrapped up Xie Di, put him back on the bed, and then took out the bath water for the two children and poured it away.
After finishing his work, he finally had some free time. He and Tu Jiaojiao sat on the head of the bed, each holding a child, and continued to discuss.
However, this time they were no longer talking about Sun Qingqing, but the Xie family in Beijing.
Tu Jiaojiao was a little nervous: "Who do you think the Xie family from Beijing will send?"
Xie Xiu didn't know that Emperor Taihe had deliberately sent Xie Yun here in person, so he guessed, "It must be the maidservant who serves my good stepmother.
She has no good intentions towards me. She will definitely not be at ease with my sudden appearance this time. Only by sending her trusted servant will she feel at ease.
"From what you said, that old woman is not a good person?" Tu Jiaojiao became even more nervous when she heard it. "What should we do then? Will she deliberately embarrass you or even deny your identity?"
"I am Xie Xiu. That old woman will definitely recognize me. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, it depends on whether the Black Kirin Guards and County Magistrate Wang are willing."
Xie Xiu raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically. "I'm Xie Yun's son, so I'll be of greater benefit to them. The Black Kirin Guards have already confirmed my identity. If that woman dares to deny it, I won't even need to do anything. The Black Kirin Guards will take care of her for me."
"That's good." Tu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and continued talking about Sun Qingqing.
She frowned and sighed with mixed feelings: "Xie Lang, I really hate Sun Qingqing now, but what mother said today, don't you think it was a bit harsh?
I think, just in case, we should kill Sun Qingqing completely so that she can no longer harm us.
But sometimes I can't help but wonder, if she doesn't actually intend to harm us in the future, but we keep dealing with her, wouldn't that be too cruel to her?"
Before Xie Xiu could even open his mouth to offer comfort, Xie Ying, known for her short temper, was already furiously complaining in her mind: "Where's that cruel? Do you know how miserable I would be if she succeeded in the switch?"
Not only will she be exiled to the border as a concubine, but she will also be bullied at the border. She will be raised as a child bride at a young age, and when she grows up, she will be bullied by fake daughters and even more people.
Even the death of my grandparents was due to Sun Qingqing's collusion with the Black Kirin Guards. They first let the bandits rush into Tujia Village to burn, kill and loot, and then the Black Kirin Guards came forward to silence the bandits and took the opportunity to gain merit and get promoted.
You're actually still worried about being too cruel to Sun Qingqing. She's probably thinking about how to kill us right now to get revenge!]
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu froze in their places: "!!!"
