"Bitch, I'm your mother-in-law, how dare you blame all these things on me!"

Mother Zhou immediately cursed at Chu Wanyan.

"What kind of good thing do you think you are? How could you agree to this if you were really worried about your eldest sister?"

"I wasn't forced by you, I..."

"That's enough." Chu Huanyan interrupted Chu Wanyan's words and took her sleeves out of Chu Wanyan's hands bit by bit.

However, she did not rush to ask anything, but turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi first.

"His Royal Highness, you..."

"I will stay here to provide justice for Miss Chu. Of course, no matter what Miss Chu wants to do in the end, I can also be a witness for you." Xiao Jinzhi took over Chu Huanyan's words and spoke.

With that said, with a wave of his sleeves, the guards who were originally guarding the courtyard immediately retreated outside.

Chu Huanyan hesitated for a moment and said nothing more.

Regardless of whether the other party was a witness or a spectator, she owed him a favor after all. If Xiao Jinzhi wanted to stay, it was naturally impossible for him to kick him out.

Withdrawing her gaze, Chu Huanyan looked at Chu Wanyan again.

"You keep saying that she forced you, but tell me what she used to threaten you."

Chu Wanyan shuddered and looked away in panic, "I, I..."

Seeing her hesitating, Chu Huanyan chuckled, "Could it be... Zhu'er?"

Chu Wanyan suddenly raised her head, "You, how did you know."

"Not only do I know they threatened you with Pearl, but I also know why you wanted to kill Pearl."

"No, I didn't kill her, it was an accident!" Chu Wanyan said immediately.

"Really?" Chu Huanyan raised her lips and smiled, looking at Zhou Xiuwen who was lying on the ground. "Isn't it because Zhou Xiuwen and Zhu'er had an affair that you killed her?"

One sentence made Zhou Xiuwen, Chu Wanyan, and Zhou's mother all change their expressions.

They looked at Chu Huanyan in disbelief, as if they were wondering where the other party knew it.

Chu Huanyan smiled but said nothing.

She had just finished changing her clothes and was preparing to come to Zhou's house. When she was going out, she happened to meet the boy who had been sent to find out about Zhuhua.

The boy reported that he had found out that the people who bought the pearl flowers were a man and a woman. According to the shopkeeper's description, the man sounded very much like Zhou Xiuwen, and the woman was Zhu'er.

According to Chu Wanyan's temperament, if it was just because of Pearl's laziness or verbal conflict, she might not have murderous intentions. But if she found out that there was an affair between Pearl and Zhou Xiuwen, she would push him into the well. Chu Wanyan was serious about doing this kind of thing.

Facing Chu Huanyan's gaze, Chu Wanyan suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing left to hide.

What made her even more nervous was that in the past, the eldest sister always looked at her with care and love, but now it was as cold as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Eldest sister, I beg you, that bitch Zhu'er deserves to die. I beg you, please don't tell this matter!"

"Miss Third, it is a human life after all, how can you say that." Xian Yue couldn't help but speak.

"What do you know!" Chu Wanyan's voice suddenly became sharp, "That bitch clearly got the contract but didn't leave. She clearly just wanted to stay and watch my jokes, and forget about other things, but she shouldn't. Should I seduce Brother Xiuwen?"

If she hadn't accidentally broken it, she wouldn't have known that Zhu'er had actually set her sights on Brother Xiuwen.

Pearl is just a humble slave, why should she!

"So you killed her?" Chu Huanyan said.

"At first I just wanted to teach her a lesson and warn her to leave quickly, but I didn't expect that instead of repenting, she actually laughed at me and said that Brother Xiuwen didn't have me in his heart at all! How could Brother Xiuwen not have me in his heart? ? I am the third young lady of the Hou Mansion, am I still no match for that cheap maid?"

Chu Wanyan clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her palms. Her voice became sharper and harsher, and her face looked ferocious.

At that time, she pulled Pearl and told her to get out immediately, but the wretch dared to attack her and pushed her to the ground.

So, she took advantage of Zhu'er's unpreparedness and pushed her to the edge of the well. Then she suddenly lifted her feet and threw her into the well.

By the time she came to her senses, it was already too late, but it was all Zhu'er's fault. If Zhu'er hadn't been so audacious and planned to take advantage of Brother Xiuwen, she wouldn't have become so angry that she killed him instantly.

"Sister, she deserves to die, she really deserves to die!" Chu Wanyan gritted her teeth,

I don't know if she said this to Chu Huanyan, or to comfort herself.

Chu Huanyan looked at Chu Wanyan, and she couldn't tell whether she was mocking or cold.

In the past, whether he was arrogant or willful, Chu Wanyan at least looked a bit noble on the surface. But now because of Zhou Xiuwen, the person in front of me looks like a crazy woman.

"Because you want to cover up this matter, you teamed up with Zhou's family to drug me?"

"That's her threatening me. She threatened me with Zhu'er's matter. If I don't do this, she will go to the Yamen to report me!" Chu Wanyan looked at Zhou's mother bitterly.

After saying that, she looked at Chu Huanyan with regret on her face.

"Sister, I really don't want to harm you. I was completely forced. I had no choice at all."

Chu Huanyan sneered, "Whether you have no choice or whether you think this is good for you, you should know it in your heart."

Chu Wanyan trembled and said with a guilty conscience: "Sister, what do you mean by this, I don't know..."

"Let me guess what she told you besides threatening you about Pearl."

Chu Huanyan interrupted Chu Wanyan's words, raised her eyebrows, and spoke word by word.

"Maybe I'm telling you that the Hou Mansion actually has money, but I, the eldest sister, refuses to give you any more money. But if I marry Li Changqing, then all the money in the Hou Mansion will go to the Zhou family, and you can live your life again. The life of luxury before."

"Perhaps they are also the daughter of the Hou family. Since you married Zhou Xiuwen, why can't I marry Li Changqing? If I were married, others wouldn't think you were marrying low."

"By the way, and..." Chu Huanyan smiled softly, "Maybe you have a guarantee that as long as I can marry Li Changqing, both mother and son of the Zhou family will be grateful for your kindness, and your brother Xiuwen, from now on I will be loyal to you."

Chu Huanyan's tone was mocking, and Chu Wanyan's face turned pale with each additional sentence.

It wasn't until Chu Huanyan said that Zhou Xiuwen would be loyal from now on that Chu Wanyan finally raised his head, with the last hope clearly still in his eyes.

"Even if what you said is correct, I was still confused for a moment. Sister, I am your biological sister, can you really ignore me?"
