Chapter 381 Murderous Words
The Queen Mother hurriedly ordered Nanny Zheng to go over and support them, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? We have been sisters since we were little girls, who don't know each other? This terrible thing happened in the family, it's not your fault, you don't need to apologize. I have also seen what happened today. Later, I will accompany you to the General's Mansion and plead for mercy in front of the old general on behalf of the Chu family. Let me say first, I am doing this for your sake, not for your granddaughter. If the Chu family didn't have you, alas..."
She paused for a moment and said slowly, "Your daughter-in-law should have been dealt with a hundred years ago. She can't be kept."
After lunch, before Mu Heng could say anything, the Queen Mother raised her head and called out to the air, "Girl, come out and take everyone to your grandfather. I want to speak to him."
As the voice fell, Shen Li instantly appeared in front of everyone.
It was okay for the others, as they had seen it before after all. However, Madam Chu and Nanny Ping were stunned, staring at Shen Li without blinking for a long time.
They saw with their own eyes that Shen Li appeared out of thin air.
The door of the room was closed, the windows were closed, and there was no hole in the roof. She just suddenly appeared and stood there calmly, just like when she suddenly appeared with the empress dowager, as if she had been assisted by God.
"Come, take me and everyone in this room with you to your grandfather and disturb his peace." The Queen Mother said to Shen Li.
Shen Li responded, "Yes."
She first brought Mu Heng and Nanny Zheng into the space, then the Queen Mother and Old Madam Yan, and then came out and looked at Nanny Ping.
Madam Chu said quickly, "If there's not enough room for so many people, I can come alone."
Shen Li shook her head. "It's not that there's no room, but I don't know if it's trustworthy or not."
Madam Chu hurriedly said, "She is trustworthy. I guarantee that she is trustworthy."
Shen Li's face was calm as he said, "If anyone leaks a single word about what happened today to anyone unrelated, I will kill you without mercy."
"Don't worry, Miss Shen," Madam Ping bowed and said, "I dare not say anything else, but my mouth is always shut."
Old Madam Chu also nodded in approval.
Shen Li chuckled, "Really? If you dare to disobey your master's orders, what's the point of keeping a tight lip? If it weren't for your master's insistence, Chu Qianxue would probably still be fine now, right?"
Nanny Ping's face turned red.
It turned out that Miss Shen saw everything that happened just now.
Shen Li continued, "Because you care about your young master, you can mix up the old master's instructions. If I have any conflicts with your young master in the future, who can guarantee that you won't betray me for the young master?"
Just as Madam Chu and Nanny Ping were about to speak, Shen Li waved her hand. "No need to promise anything. I deliberately showed it to you so I wasn't afraid of you betraying me. If you really betrayed me, that would be perfect. It would give me a good reason to kill the person who spread the rumor. Do you think that makes sense?"
The tone was calm, but every word was filled with murderous intent.
Old Madam Chu has been an upright person all her life, but now she has to bear the consequences of her granddaughter's actions.
Shen Li reached out and grabbed the corners of their clothes. Just as she was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Chenze strode in.
When he saw that the people in the room were gone, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized where everyone had gone.
"Are you leaving? Take me with you." He said to Shen Li.
Then she quickly walked towards Shen Li and wanted to pull her sleeve. Just as her fingers were about to touch Shen Li, suddenly, her grandmother, Nanny Ping, and Shen Li disappeared together.
Xiao Chenze's hand stopped in mid-air, his fingers moved, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
......
As soon as Fang Yao came out of the palace, she heard that the eldest daughter of the Chu family wanted to kill Shen Li.
He was so angry that he immediately pulled the sword from Zhu Yi's hand and shouted, "Come on, follow me to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Kill..."
Several shadows jumped out, jumped onto the wall and were about to leave.
Fu Lizhang hurried out, leading a team of imperial guards to kneel before him. "General, calm down. The Queen Mother has already taken Madam Chu to the General's residence to apologize. The Chu family's daughter's arm has been crippled, and all the tendons and veins have been severed. The Emperor just learned of this and has ordered his subordinates to come and see you. Please don't be impulsive."
Fang Yao's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his eyeballs were about to pop out.
After hearing Fu Lizhang's words, the sword in his hand slowly dropped, "Are you telling the truth?"
Fu Lizhang bowed and said, "I dare not tell a lie to the general. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the mansion now to see if the Queen Mother and Old Madam Chu are here."
Fang Yao's brows knitted together, his eyes rolled around, he put the sword back into the scabbard, and waved his hand, "Let's go back home."
Several shadows jumped on the roof and followed Fang Yao to disappear in front of Fu Lizhang.
Fu Lizhang breathed a sigh of relief. "The rest of you go outside the General's Mansion and listen for any noise. If there's a quarrel inside, come back and report immediately. We'll try to separate the two sides first."
In fact, he hadn't finished speaking yet, because the emperor's original words were, "If it really doesn't work, I will go over and mediate personally."
After giving orders to his men, Fu Lizhang entered the palace with a long sigh.
It is unprecedented in history that an emperor has reached this level.
Whose ministers were having a quarrel? The emperor was so worried that he couldn't sit still, and he even volunteered to go over and mediate?
Fang Yao thought riding a horse was too slow, so he jumped onto the wall with his secret guards and headed straight for the general's mansion.
In a few breaths, they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.
The soldier on guard saw them and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Greetings, General."
Fang Yao landed and asked, "Is there anyone causing trouble in the mansion?"
The soldier replied, "Don't worry, General. No one dares to cause trouble here."
"Go down and continue to be alert."
"Yes." The soldiers stepped aside.
Watching the general stride away, the soldiers grumbled in their hearts, "What's wrong with the general? No one has visited the mansion all day. Who would come to cause trouble?"
Little did they know that while they were wondering, the Queen Mother had already brought everyone to sit in the main hall of the General's Mansion, talking to General Fang.
Just after she finished talking about how the eldest daughter of the Chu family made a mistake and almost hurt Miss Shen, Old Madam Chu had the eldest daughter's tendons broken on the spot to express her apology.
Fang Yao came back.
After paying respects to the Queen Mother, Fang Yao's first concern was to check whether Shen Li was injured or wronged.
"Don't worry, uncle. Li'er is fine." Shen Li said respectfully.
Fang Yao let go of the breath he had been holding, then turned around and said to Madam Chu, "Our two families have a very deep relationship. The Fang family hopes that this will continue, but I don't know what the Chu family thinks? No matter what, if the Chu family wants to cause trouble, they can come to me, Fang Yao. For the sake of the old Duke and the old lady, I can give in. But if you touch my niece..."
His eyes turned cold. "I believe the old lady has heard about my sister a long time ago. My family finally got news of my sister, but she has already passed away. Fortunately, my sister left behind Li'er as a child, so my mother can have comfort and spend her remaining years. Therefore, in the Fang family, anyone can suffer losses and grievances, except Li'er. If anyone dares to touch her, the Fang family will fight to the death at any cost."
