People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Xu Xilu was surprised, but also moved.He didn't expect Song Yanqing to be so concerned about his family affairs, and even sent someone to investigate secretly, and found Pei Lan, a key witness for him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Without waiting for other people to ask, Pei Lan took the initiative to say: "The emperor rewarded the bird's nest that Xixia paid tribute to the empress. Madam Zhang entered the palace twice, and the empress gave her some, and I handed it to Madam Zhang both times. The second time The empress specifically told Mrs. Zhang that she would give the bird's nest to Miss Xu San, so that she could use some to nourish her body. As for the taboos on the use of Xixia bird's nest, you don't need to tell her. The empress even asked Mrs. Zhang to prepare more I gave some cold food to Ms. Xu San, just to let her get poisoned as soon as possible."

Xu Tai and Ru Dao looked at Zhang Shi, wishing to poke a hole in her body, and said in a painful voice: "What else do you want to say?!"

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, Xu Taihe was already very angry, strode up to her, raised her hand high, and seeing a slap fell on Mrs. Zhang's face, Xu Xuanying hurriedly grabbed him, "Father, even if Miss Peilan's words are true, Mother, she was also instigated by Concubine Yuan, and she didn't intend to harm Third Sister!"

"To poison the concubine, she will do it if the concubine Yuan asks her to do it?! Does she still have me as the head of the family in her eyes!"

Mrs. Zhang was backed half a step by Xu Taihe's yelling. Lin Ruyun supported Mrs. Zhang and persuaded: "Mother, do you have any difficulties? Tell father immediately!" Seeing Mrs. Zhang remained unmoved, Lin Ruyun looked at her She said in a voice that only she could hear: "Mother, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your husband..."

Zhang's eyes flickered, and she was about to speak when Zhu Ping, who was standing behind her, knelt down, "It's the concubine Yuan. , She will make the young master feel uncomfortable..."

Before Zhu Ping finished speaking, Pei Lan interrupted her: "This girl must have misremembered. How could the concubine Yuan force Mrs. Zhang? She just put forward a condition, as long as Mrs. Zhang solves Miss Xu San for her." , she will solve Mrs. Xu for Mrs. Zhang."

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on Xu Xilu, but the latter's expression was very calm, as if he must not be surprised.

"No, no! It's not like this!" Zhu Ping shouted hoarsely, "Master, don't listen to her! She betrayed Concubine Yuan, she, she is talking nonsense here!"

Pei Lan smiled sweetly, "The servant girl came here at the order of the young prince, this girl means that the young prince is talking nonsense?"

Xu Changying pointed at Mrs. Zhang, and said angrily, "Zhang Ruonan, what kind of heart do you have? First An Ning, then Xilu, are you going to take my life in the end? Let father have only Xu Xuanying as his son. !"

Seeing that she was so emotional, Yu Rongbei held her up in fear, "Ma'am, be careful that you move your fetus."

Xu Changying pushed her husband away, walked up to Xu Taihe, and said with tears in his eyes, "Father, there is one thing my daughter didn't want to say, but in this situation, my daughter has to say it. My daughter is worried that if the delay continues, Xilu will be like An Ning." , was murdered by a traitor! Jiudong, please come up, Aunt Huai."

Aunt Huai walked into the hall under the leadership of Jiudong. Everyone present, except for the young girl and Lin Ruyun who came in later, all knew her, and they all showed surprise.

Aunt Huai saluted Xu Taihe, "Master, do you still remember me?"

Xu Taihe stared at her with bloodshot eyes, and the memories buried deep in his heart gushed out, "You are Shujie's..."

"That's right. I'm Miss's dowry maid. Both you and Miss called me Xiaohuai back then."

"Didn't you go back to Cangzhou, why..."

Aunt Huai smiled sadly, "I came back this time to ask the master to give our young lady justice. Miss, she was murdered by others back then, and unfortunately she died in childbirth!"

Surrounded by silence, Mrs. Zhang slowly closed her eyes.

In Xu's mansion, Xu Taihe's friendship with the deceased Liu family is well known.At that time, if it wasn't for the Liu family, he wouldn't even have to spend money to go to Beijing to catch up with the exam, let alone get a title on the gold list in the future, and he will flourish.After high school, in order to consolidate his future, he married Mrs. Zhang as his wife and Mrs. Xie as his concubine. After he gained a firm foothold in Shangjing, he returned to Cangzhou to meet Mrs. Liu. He has always felt guilty about this.After Liu's family entered the mansion, he loved her in every possible way, as if he wanted to make up for all his past debts. He also loved the eldest daughter she gave birth to him with the utmost care.After Mrs. Liu's death, he was depressed for a long time. His servants often watched him sitting alone in the yard where Mrs. Liu was alive, looking at the peach blossom tree she planted by herself, sitting for a whole day.Liu's death was a wound in his heart that would never heal, and it was revealed at this moment that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just rubbing salt on his wound.

"What did you say?" Xu Taihe said hoarsely, "Shujie was killed by someone?"

Aunt Huai nodded, "Back then, Miss was not in good health, and it was difficult to conceive Young Master Xilu. The whole family was very careful, for fear that Miss would make any mistakes. Seeing that Miss was only one month away from giving birth, she received a A letter..."

Xu Taihe asked eagerly, "What letter?"

When mentioning the past, Xu Changying burst into tears. She took out the evidence that Xu Xilu had prepared for her earlier in the morning, "Father, please see."

Zhu Ping bit his lip desperately—hasn't that letter been destroyed?How come...it must be fake!Yes, as long as they bite to death and refuse to admit it, they will have nothing to do with them.She wanted to meet Zhang's eyes, but Zhang's still ashamed and indifferent, she stared straight ahead, without turning to the chair, neither crying nor shouting, maintaining her last dignity.

"Father-in-law, when my son-in-law went to northern Xinjiang, he specially went to visit the Liu family." Yu Rongbei said, "The two elders of the Liu family are in good health and have never suffered from any serious illness."

Aunt Huai said bitterly: "Every sentence in this letter is false. Cangzhou has never sent such a letter. Someone deliberately forged this letter and sent it to the young lady. When the young lady heard the bad news about her parents, She was so distraught that she passed out several times, so that when she was about to give birth, she had dystocia and hemorrhage. She exerted her last bit of strength and gave birth to Young Master Xilu, but she herself..." At this point, she couldn't help crying.

"Who... who is it!" Xu Taihe's chest heaved violently, his mouth screamed bloody, his eyes were about to burst, "Which bitch is it!"

Lin Ruyun tentatively asked: "Could it be Aunt Dong who has already gone?"

"Yes, yes! It must be her!" A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xu Xuanying's forehead, with an expression as if she had grasped the straw, "She has done a lot of evil in Xu's mansion, and she tried to frame her second brother several times. It's also her..."

"Father, touch the letter paper carefully." Xu Changying said, "This is Luoyang rice paper from 20 years ago. It is extremely precious. The house can only buy a few thousand pieces throughout the year. Because Xuanying loved to use this paper when she was young." Practicing calligraphy, his father loved him so much that he gave all the rice paper to Shi'anyuan."

Xu Xuanying said unwillingly: "It's also possible that Aunt Dong stole the rice paper and intended to put the blame on my mother..."

"Xuanying, do you still have to deceive yourself and others?" Xu Changying sneered, "How about I let Dong's personal maid come forward to testify? I'm afraid she will say far more than that. Those two things."

"You, you are trying to commit a crime!"

"Ha..." Mrs. Zhang, who had always been like a wooden figure, finally moved. She seemed to hold back for a long time, and chuckled.Then her laughter grew louder and harsher. "Haha, Xu Taihe, look at you, you don't care if your daughter or son is about to die, but when you hear about that bitch, you become so angry—hahahaha..."

Xu Xilu watched coldly as Zhang Ruonan finally took off the mask she had worn all her life, and showed her truest and craziest side to everyone.

Xu Taihe finally couldn't bear it anymore, exhausted all his strength, and slapped her severely——

Snapped.

Mrs. Zhang was so whipped that she fell to the ground, Xu Xuanying rushed up to help her up, "Mother, can you still—"

Zhang didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Xu Xuanying away.She looked desolate, and pointed at Xu Taihe with trembling fingers, "Everything I do is for our son! I am not you, I only have him, I only have him!"

"Ma'am," Xu Xilu said softly, "All these years, have you been doing it for your elder brother or for yourself?"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhang stared at Xu Xilu ferociously, "You son of a foxy son, do you have the right to be compared with my Xuanying?"

Xu Taihe looked at his completely unfamiliar wife in front of him, heartbroken, "Xuanying is my son-in-law, why have I ever treated him badly?"

Mrs. Zhang has gone mad, and no one can hold her back, "I am the daughter of the grand master, what did you say when you asked me to marry you, what did you promise me, do you remember?! I ask you, do you still remember?" I don’t remember!” Mrs. Zhang rushed up, grabbed Xu Taihe’s shirt, and said hoarsely, “After you married me, you first accepted Xie Yao, then took Liu Shujie into the mansion, and treated the daughter of a lowly concubine as a prostitute. Keep it up, will her son also climb on my Xuanying's head? As long as I am alive, I will never allow it!"

Xu Taihe didn't struggle, but just looked down at his wife, "So it's really you...it's really you who killed Shujie..."

"If she didn't die, would you not love her son?" Mrs. Zhang smiled happily, "Xu Taihe, Xu Taihe, in the final analysis, it was you who killed Liu Shujie! Your most beloved woman is dead!"

"Enough!" Xu Taihe roared, he grabbed Zhang Shi's hand and threw her away violently.Zhang put her hands on the ground and couldn't stop laughing wildly. Everyone looked down at her.

Xu Taihe suddenly realized that he started from scratch, worked hard for many years, and finally got a place in the capital, but he was still no different from the poor scholar who relied on his mother's street stall for a living.

Perhaps in the past 20 years, everyone in the Xu Mansion has not been a winner.
