Li Shuyue was still struggling, "This is impossible, someone must have framed me!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and pointed at the two girls, Yunyi and Yunshang, and said, "It must be you who left this thing in my room when you went there with Cui'er. You just wanted to frame me!"

Li Qingqian curled her lips, her eyes slightly cold, "Yunyi and Yunshang have been with me since childhood. When I left Beijing for the countryside, it was Yunyi who accompanied me. What reason do they have to use this voodoo doll with my birth date to frame you?"

Besides, Yunyi and Yunshang had just entered Li Shuyue's room, but there was already a thin layer of dust on the voodoo doll, which obviously did not mean it was put in just now.

Li Shuyue was stuck in the middle and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing that Yunyi and Yunshang were not getting the better of her, she turned her attention to Cui'er: "That's the bitch. She must be dissatisfied with Li Qingqian and wanted to harm her but was unwilling to take the responsibility. That's why she harmed me!"

Cui'er widened her eyes when she heard that and suddenly looked up at her.

Li Zhen slowly turned his head, looked at Li Shuyue and said, "So what evil thing did Ah Qian do to cause this girl to harm her in such a despicable and vicious way?"

Li Shuyue opened her mouth and said, "Second brother, you don't know, before I got married, Cui'er always went to Jingyingju. I don't know what she went there for, but I know that every time she came back, she was covered with scars."

The implication is that Li Qingqian not only placed spies around her, but also beat Cui'er who worked hard for her from time to time.

Li Qingqian snorted disdainfully, "One moment you said that the girls around me colluded to frame me, and the next moment you said that it was the girls around you who wanted to harm me. Li Shuyue, is there a single word of truth in your mouth?"

"Third sister, are you afraid to take responsibility for what you did? You dare to say that Cui Er always came to your Jingying Residence and always came back with scars all over her body?"

Li Shuyue was anxious, but she also knew that she could not admit what happened today, so she could only do her best to throw dirty water on Li Qingqian.

Li Zhen ignored her and turned his gaze to Cui'er, "Tell me yourself, have you ever done such a thing?"

Li Shuyue also cast her gaze, full of warning: If you dare to tell the truth today, I will give up on making you my concubine!

But Cui'er was not afraid of her eyes at all at this moment, but stared at her with resentment.

Then she stood up and said to Li Zhenfu, "Since the Second Young Master asked, I have to tell you. This witch doll was indeed placed in the room by the Fourth Young Lady before she got married."

Li Zhengkang couldn't help but frown. It was really Li Shuyue who did it.

Li Xi, who was standing by, was full of disdain. It was indeed her. Wasn't it enough that she had bullied Ah Qian since she was a child? She even cursed her own sister!

Shen Changyun sneered and said, "May I ask what deep hatred there is between Miss Li Si and my wife that made you act so cruelly? It would be better for you to express all your dissatisfaction in one breath today, so that my wife won't have to live in fear because of you in the future."

Li Shuyue looked at Cui'er in disbelief. She actually dared to ignore her hint and tell the truth?

But it was clear that this voodoo doll was used by her to please herself at that time.

Is he living in fear because of me? Li Shuyue hopes that Li Qingqian will be like this in the future!

But ever since she returned to Beijing last year, he seemed to always make mistakes in front of her and never got the slightest advantage.

She looked towards Li Qingqian in anger, only to find that he was looking at her calmly, not at all like he was angry at knowing that he was cursed like this.

Li Shuyue suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart: Could it be that Cui'er had colluded with Li Qingqian when she brought the voodoo doll to please her?

It's totally possible!

Before I got married, she often went to Jingyingju, saying that she was there to get information for me, but in fact, she might have been in cahoots with Li Qingqian!

Moreover, after she brought the doll to herself, she had been taking good care of it, saying that she didn't want anyone else to find out, but it was probably just to prevent others from reminding her.

Li Shuyue felt very cold in her heart. Cui'er was a maid who had been serving her since she was a child. She had treated her well. Why did she betray her like this?

However, Li Shuyue did not intend to give up just like that. As long as she insisted that she knew nothing, Li Qingqian would not have any definite evidence. How could she make everyone believe that this was what she had placed in the house before her marriage?

"I have never done such a thing. You must be the traitor who is slandering me!" Li Shuyue was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped Cui'er hard, roaring and asking, "Do you have any evidence to prove that this is mine?"

It would have been better if she hadn't slapped him. This slap directly ignited Cui'er's painful memories of the past ten years, and her desire for revenge against Li Shuyue was also very strong.

She took out a note from her sleeve pocket and placed it respectfully in front of Li Zhengkang. Then she stepped back and glared at Li Shuyue with cold eyes.

"Didn't the fourth lady want evidence? Here it is."

Li Zhengkang picked up the note and looked at it, frowning and muttering, "Is this the deed that Shu Yue agrees to take you as Jiang Lin's aunt?"

This is what she had just written in her mother's yard, just to let Cui'er remember her promise to her, but she didn't expect it to be used here.

Li Shuyue's bad premonition became stronger, and the look in her eyes when she glared at Cui'er became more fierce.

Cui Er bowed again and said, "Before the Fourth Miss got married, she was confined to her house because she caused Miss Meng to fall into the water during the plum blossom banquet at the Ding'an Marquis's mansion. At that time, the girl hated the Third Miss who exposed her, so she asked me to find this witch doll to vent my anger. At first, I didn't dare to do it, but then the Fourth Miss proposed to make me a concubine after marriage. I was deceived for a while and did this wrong thing."

Li Zhengkang knew about this, so his expression darkened a little and he subconsciously looked towards Li Xi.

When he heard that she caused Meng Yanrong to fall into the water, a hint of coldness flashed in Li Xi's eyes, and the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tighten a little.

Then he put down the teacup and said coldly, "I remember the Plum Blossom Feast was held in winter. It was freezing cold and falling into the water would mean losing half your life. Fourth sister was really ruthless, so it's not surprising that she could perform such a magic trick."

Shen Changyun glanced at him, and then said, "Ms. Li Si really opened my eyes today. She slandered my wife's innocent reputation and did such a thing to her. Prime Minister Li, how do you think we should deal with her?"

Li Shuyue was even more panicked. Her relationship with Jiang Lin was in jeopardy and they were about to separate. She could not bear to be punished by her father at this time.

She yelled, "Father, I am really being wronged! It must be that bitch Li Qingqian who framed me. Father, you must stand up for me!"

Li Zhengkang looked at Li Qingqian who lowered her head and remained silent, then looked at Li Xi whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said in a dull voice: "You did such a ridiculous thing and still don't repent. You really don't deserve to be a descendant of my Li family."

Li Shuyue's heart skipped a beat. What did her father mean by this? Was he going to kick her out of the Li Mansion?

Li Zhengkang waved his hand and asked Qianghuo to bring the family tree and writing brush. He took one last look at Li Shuyue and crossed out her name.

The heavy ink tightly covered the three words "Li Shuyue", indicating that Li Shuyue would have nothing to do with the Li family from now on.

Looking at his father's actions, Li Shuyue slumped to the ground with a dull look in his eyes.

It's over, the Li family doesn't want her anymore...

Li Qingqian was also shocked. She didn't expect Li Zhengkang to be so cruel. But she didn't regret it. This is how you should take revenge on your enemies.

When no one noticed, she gave Cui'er a look, which reassured her and reminded her not to forget why she agreed to send her to Jiang Lin's room.

Cui'er curled the corners of her lips. Li Shuyue like this today was what she wanted to see most.

Over the past decade or so, she was beaten every other day and often went hungry and cold. Even so, Li Shuyue still believed that this was her fate as a slave.

Since Li Shuyue looked down on her, well, she would find someone who looked up to her, so that she could also experience the feeling of despair where no one could help her.

Li Qingqian said calmly: "This girl exposed the crime in time and made amends for her mistake, so she will be exempted from the crime of being an accomplice. Fourth sister, oh no, Madam Jiang, please go back."

Using witchcraft to murder one's own sister in Dawei is a serious crime. Li Shuyue was finally carried away by two maids in the mansion. She hadn't even realized what was happening before she left. She just went back to have a meal, so how could she end up being abandoned by the Li family?

Li Zhengkang looked at Shen Changyun with a guilty conscience, "Although today's incident was caused by that girl, it was ultimately due to my inappropriate discipline in the past. I will report this to His Majesty later. My Li Mansion will have nothing to do with such a naughty girl."

Shen Changyun smiled calmly, "Prime Minister Li is able to distinguish right from wrong, and I admire you. Today you punished the evildoer for my wife. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you."

Li Qingqian understood in her heart: it turned out that before she came to Qingzhutang, Shen Changyun had already talked about this matter with Li Zhengkang and his two brothers.

The purpose is to tell everyone in the Li Mansion that she, Li Qingqian, is not only the third lady of the Li Mansion, but also the distinguished wife of the Crown Prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she will never allow anyone to have the intention of harming her.

Compared with being able to pave the way for the future of Li Xi and Li Zhen, sacrificing Li Shuyue seemed insignificant to him.
