Chapter 242: A Slight Attack, Known Limits
The first and second wives were standing outside the woodshed, only five steps away from Liao Yunfei.
The eldest lady was shocked and looked at Liao Yunfei as if she was looking at a stranger.
The second wife's expression was also very solemn, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
When Liao Yunfei saw the two of them, she was struck by lightning!
"Aunt..." Liao Yunfei called out tremblingly.
"Did you arrange all this yourself?" The eldest lady couldn't believe that the woman who usually acted like a pitiful and helpless kitten in front of her actually had another side that she couldn't see!
How could he kill someone so casually? How could he have such a vicious mind!
Liao Yunfei still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that her aunt might have just arrived and did not hear her conversation with Liu Pozi.
The moment I heard the eldest lady's words, my hope was completely shattered.
"Aunt, please listen to my explanation." Liao Yunfei walked quickly towards the eldest lady and tried to pull the doctor's arm.
Before his hand even touched the eldest lady, it was pushed away in disgust.
The eldest lady's heart was truly broken.
"Sister-in-law, let me handle the matter with Mrs. Liu. After all, it's just our own business. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with the Luo family." The second lady comforted softly.
"Come with me!" The eldest lady took Liao Yunfei away with a cold face.
The second lady walked towards the woodshed.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she immediately knelt down when she saw the Second Madam.
"Second Madam, please spare me! I was bribed by Miss Liao because I had no other choice! My grandson was born weak and sickly, and now he has to take medicine every day."
"Tell me everything Miss Liao told you." The Second Madam said nothing.
Although she already knew what had happened, she still needed a testimony from Mrs. Liu.
After the eldest lady took Liao Yunfei away, she returned to her courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Liao Yunfei fell to his knees.
"Aunt, I know I was wrong! Can you please forgive me? I really like the prince, so I did such a stupid thing."
"So, you agreed to the marriage proposal just to set up this situation." The eldest lady now understood everything completely.
Her heart ached so much, the pain was beyond words!
"In order to achieve your goal, you actually dared to kill someone! Liao Yunfei, you really disappoint me!"
"Aunt, can you please forgive me this time? I've really been bewitched! I like the prince too much and don't want to marry anyone else except him. However, I want to be his concubine, and I'm afraid of losing face for you, so I..."
"Are you afraid of losing my face? Do I still have any face now? You have fallen into depravity and don't want to be a concubine. What do you want to do? Be the prince's wife?" The eldest lady asked sternly.
"No, no, aunt, I have never had such big ambitions. I just want to be a concubine, which will save your face and also allow me to achieve my wish." Liao Yunfei had no way to hide anything anymore and had to reveal her true thoughts.
She has one last trump card, which is to take advantage of her aunt's feelings for her.
Things have come to this point, we can't really force her to die!
"Concubine? Liao Yunfei, even if she is the prince's concubine, are you worthy of her?" The eldest lady asked again.
Liao Yunfei burst into tears and climbed forward to pull the eldest lady's clothes.
"Aunt, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? Things have come to this point. I have no room for maneuver."
"How come there is no room for maneuver?! Even now, you are still thinking of using me! You want me to risk my reputation to discuss your marriage with the princess, right? I see that you have no intention of repenting and are still daydreaming!"
Liao Yunfei couldn't refute.
That's what she thinks!
"Aunt, you love me so much, just treat this as the last thing you do for me? From now on, I will never bother you again!"
The eldest lady was so angry that her eyes went dark.
"How could I raise such a shameless thing like you!" The eldest lady raised her hand and slapped Liao Yunfei.
This slap reminded her of the slap she had given Rong Qingqing impulsively.
For a moment, I felt even more regretful!
This is her niece whom she loves more than her own daughter!
The evil she raised!
The eldest lady didn't want to say anything more and turned to walk into the house.
Liao Yunfei didn't get up and just knelt in the yard.
She was still gambling, gambling with her own life, betting that her aunt would be soft-hearted.
This kneeling lasted for the entire night.
When it was just getting light, Liao Yunfei couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
The court doctor went to the eldest lady's courtyard to treat Liao Yunfei. The eldest lady ordered someone to send Liao Yunfei back directly.
The eldest lady herself became ill due to anger. After the court doctor treated Liao Yunfei, he hurried to check on the eldest lady's condition.
After this commotion, the people in the mansion already knew the truth of the matter, and their attitude towards Liao Yunfei took a sharp turn for the worse!
Dong Ling walked quickly into Ji Chuhe's room, her eyes flashing with admiration and excitement.
"Madam! The truth of the matter has been found out! Everyone in the mansion is talking about it. It's great! Liao Yunfei finally got what she deserved!"
Ji Chuhe was reading a book. When he heard Dong Ling's words, his emotion did not change at all, as if he had known all this for a long time.
Dong Ling moved closer and said, "Madam, you expected this to happen, didn't you?"
"Sit down." Ji Chuhe said softly.
Dong Ling immediately sat opposite Ji Chuhe.
"How much did you understand? Tell me." Ji Chuhe said, and put away the books in front of him.
Dong Ling thought about it carefully before speaking, "Madam, your move is really brilliant! Not only did it reveal Liao Yunfei's true identity, but it also completely exposed our Huaiyang Palace! Madam, you just casually said that it might be the work of the Luo family, and asked the Duke's Mansion to investigate it with great care. How can Liao Yunfei and that old woman Liu withstand such a vigorous investigation?"
"Madam, you only need to make a slight move to make Liao Yunfei, who has been pretending for so long, show her true form. It's really amazing! I admire you so much!" Dong Ling looked at Ji Chuhe, her eyes almost showing pink bubbles.
Ji Chuhe felt that Dong Ling's brain was working faster and faster.
It was worth her training him overtly and covertly from time to time.
After the child is born, she plans to teach Dong Ling some more things so that she can help her in more areas in the future.
Xu Yan'er just stood outside and didn't go in.
She listened carefully to Dong Ling's analysis.
It was only after listening to Dong Ling's analysis that she understood what had happened.
Once again, I had a deep understanding of Ji Chuhe's methods.
She is still alive today, all thanks to Ji Chuhe’s grace of not killing her!
She really doesn't have Ji Chuhe's means and ability to deal with things. No wonder the princess values Ji Chuhe so much, the prince also likes Ji Chuhe so much, and even the prince is impressed by Ji Chuhe.
