After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Chapter 18 I couldn’t help but blurt out the truth

Qiao Niannian smiled and helped Chunmei up.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just going to ask you a few questions. Why did you want to harm my mother?"

Chunmei blurted out: "Because Aunt Xu gave me too much money. I worked hard to serve Madam and you, and I only had one tael of silver a month, but I just put something on Madam's beam, and Aunt Xu gave it to me." I have one hundred taels."

Qiao Chushan was shocked: "What did you say?"

Chunmei panicked: "No... Master... I don't know what's going on... I... I'm telling the truth. Aunt Xu said that as long as the madam is removed, there will be one hundred taels left after the matter is completed." Give me the money."

"With this money, I can buy a nice yard of my own and spend the rest of my life."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Madam would find the box on the beam. Otherwise, Madam would have been dead by now, and the remaining one hundred taels would already be mine."

Chunmei's eyes widened, all the secrets buried deep in her heart were spoken out, and she couldn't control them at all.

She realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth.

"Second Miss, it's you who caused this, you want to harm me!"

Chunmei was anxious and angry.

Qiao Niannian chuckled: "It's me."

"Where do you keep your money?"

Chunmei couldn't resist the power of the mantra at all. She was unwilling in her heart, but the answer came out of her mouth.

"In a box under a piece of floorboard under the bed."

Qiao Chushan's face darkened.

The words he just heard simply shocked his outlook.

When he and his wife got married, they were extremely in love, but because his wife gave birth to their third son, Qiao Beichen, his colleagues dragged him to drink a few more drinks at the dinner party.

Later, he fell unconscious and woke up again with a maid next to him.

This maid is Aunt Xu.

He couldn't remember what happened that night at all, so he asked his aunt to examine Aunt Xu's body to confirm that she had done something ridiculous last night.

Because of this incident, his relationship with Huo became worse and worse.

Fortunately, Aunt Xu was a sensible person, she never asked for anything extravagantly, and she always spoke for Huo. Except for that ridiculous night, he never touched Aunt Xu again.

Aunt Xu didn't mind either, but she was lucky. Just once, she had a pair of twins, Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying.

After Aunt Xu had a child, she lived with her child. Seeing how peaceful she was, Qiao Chushan also liked her two children equally.

Although it's not as good as Huo's, it's not bad either.

In Qiao Chushan's heart, Aunt Xu was considerate, gentle and a good woman.

And it was he who did the wrong thing in the first place.

Therefore, Qiao Chushan had no way of believing that Aunt Xu would do these things, so he had to make sure whether what the maid said was true.

He called for the guards.

"Qiao Qi, take people to search Chunmei's room immediately and be sure to find the money."

Pressing on Chunmei, one of the two guards bent down to accept the order, and then asked several people to search the room together.

When Chunmei saw this, she collapsed on the ground.

Qiao Chushan waited there with a cold face.

Huo knew from her daughter that it was her second roommate who was responsible, but she had been suffering from the lack of evidence.

Now that Chunmei had confessed herself, she wanted to see how Qiao Chushan would deal with Aunt Xu.

As for Aunt Xu, Huo didn't like her, and the whole family knew it.

But she had never felt sorry for Aunt Xu, nor had she ever deducted her share in Xu's yard. She didn't even know why Aunt Xu hated her so much.

No matter what a few people think.

After a while, the guard came over holding a black wooden box.

There is a lock on the wooden box, which has been split open. When you open the box, there are one hundred taels of silver neatly placed inside.

In addition to silver, there is also a lot of jewelry.

Qiao Niannian took a look.

"No wonder I always lose jewelry in my room. I didn't expect that it's all here with you." Mr. Huo dotes on her daughter. Whether it's a change of seasons, a birthday or a new year, Qiao Niannian's jewelry is indispensable.

Over time, one or two items were lost, and Qiao Niannian didn't notice it herself.

It wasn't until one day that she suddenly had the idea to wear Huo's eight-year-old birthday gift, but she couldn't find it, that she discovered the clue.

But she always thought she had lost it, but she never thought it was all here with Chunmei!

Huo also recognized that there were many things inside that belonged to her daughter.

Her face turned dark.

Qiao Chushan was even more furious and asked the guards to bring Aunt Xu over.

Aunt Xu was quickly brought over.

Aunt Xu looked at the situation in front of her and said with some confusion: "Master, madam, what happened?"

Huo snorted coldly: "Pretending."

Qiao Chushan's eyes were gloomy: "This maid said you gave her money to frame Madam. Is this true?"

Aunt Xu was startled, then her eyes turned red and she started to cry.

"Master, I have been doing my duty for so many years and I have never thought of anything. Even my two children, I told them not to fight over anything. How could I instruct the maid to do such a vicious thing."

After Aunt Xu finished speaking, she was already crying.

She did not cry out for injustice, nor did she accuse others, but instead established her own persona.

Aunt Xu knew very well that in this house, Qiao Chushan's favorite person was the Huo family, and the most beloved child was the Huo family's child. She had no place in Qiao Chushan's heart at all. If she behaved particularly strongly, she would only attract Qiao Chushan's disgust.

However, she also knew Qiao Chushan's character.

Emotional and soft-hearted.

As long as she cries, this man will definitely soften his heart.

Qiao Chushan is indeed a little soft-hearted, but he is not stupid.

He kicked the box containing the money on the ground and asked.

"What happened to the money? Didn't you give it to me?"

Aunt Xu felt aggrieved: "Master, I have been wronged. I have never seen this money before. I don't know why Chunmei said this."

This……

Qiao Chushan really has no evidence.

This amount of money alone cannot convict Aunt Xu.

Qiao Niannian picked up a mantra talisman between her fingers. She happened to have the last one, so she gave it to Aunt Xu.

The mantra fell on Aunt Xu and disappeared.

Chunmei looked at it seriously.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously, and the talisman just now was really gone.

Qiao Chushan and Huo were still amazed when they saw their daughter's hand again, but they were much calmer.

He spoke again.

"Is the silver the Chunmei you gave me?"

Aunt Xu was about to deny it, but what she said was: "I gave it to you."

Aunt Xu:...

Qiao Chushan's face completely darkened. He didn't expect that Aunt Xu really did this.

Thinking that Huo was almost killed by Aunt Xu, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Why do you want to frame Madam? Madam is so kind to you and has never treated you harshly, but you actually want to frame her!"

Aunt Xu sneered, her expression seemed to be crazy.

She couldn't help but feel cold when she looked at Qiao Chushan.

"Why? Shouldn't the Marquis ask himself? Why should I do this!"
