Xiaokang looked at Xiaotao's belly. As much as she loved this big belly before, she hated it now. So the gentleness in her eyes when she looked at Xiaotao was gone, and only overwhelming hatred remained.

"Bitch! You are flirting with other women!" Xiaokang couldn't help but stepped forward to kick Xiaotao hard, but was hugged by Nanny Ji.

"Second Madam, please calm down and don't be fooled!" Nanny Ji said hurriedly.

She regretted it so much now. She thought that after helping Su Yueqi give birth to a child, their family would become relatives of the Marquis' Mansion and they would be able to get rid of slavery in the future. But who would have thought that a business that was sure to make money would have such a big risk.

Why would this group of people jump out to commit suicide? Why?

"Second aunt, why are you getting so angry? Wouldn't it be better if we could find out the truth now instead of waiting until the bloodline of the Marquisate is truly mixed up?"

Su Yunrou said indifferently, looking at Xiaotao's belly, "So what if it's a boy? Xiaokang wants you to be Su Lihan's future supporter, so why not turn you into a pool of blood now?"

"Second Madam, I am innocent. I am truly innocent. They are the ones who wrongly accused me."

Xiao Tao cried bitterly, and her parents were extremely anxious, looking fiercely at the seven kneeling people.

"You are a bunch of heartless people. Xiaotao grew up under your care, and yet you are harming her like this. What are you thinking?" Xiaotao's mother said angrily.

"We are just telling the truth. Who dares to lie in front of the Marquis..."

They were arguing, but Xiaotao and her mother were cursing, and the group was making a lot of noise and arguing.

"Alright! Everyone, shut up!"

The old marquis slammed the table, and the group of people quickly shut up.

He looked at the pointed belly. How great it would be if the child was Su Yueqi's. But now this woman had bad conduct and was morally corrupt. She even tried to confuse the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion. He could not tolerate this.

"Someone, Xiaotao and her family encountered robbers on the road and were beaten to death by the robbers."

The old marquis directly ordered that such a woman could not be kept, and her parents were even less allowed to stay.

"No, old lord, don't!"

"Second Madam, please save me, this child is really the Second Young Master's, please save the child! Please... ugh!"

Xiaotao and the other two were dragged away, and soon the sound of beating with a stick was heard outside, which sounded very dull.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Liu's eyes, and she looked at Xiaokang who was still in a daze.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, it seems that Yue Qi is unlucky. He is dead and still cuckolded by a slut. How pitiful!"

Xiaokang fell back into the chair as if the breath had been sucked out of him.

"Second aunt, don't be sad. Who would have thought that Xiao Tao was that kind of person!"

Su Qingwan comforted at this time.

"Madam, can we go now?"

The seven people still kneeling on the ground were shaking with fear. They just wanted to make money, but didn't want to risk their lives here.

"Everyone get lost!"

Liu had had enough of this group of people.

Several people hurriedly got up and tried to run outside, but Su Qingwan suddenly said, "Wait!"

As soon as she spoke, these people were stopped.

"Fourth girl, what are you going to do?" Liu asked with a frown.

Su Qingwan did not answer her question, but looked at the old marquis and said, "Grandfather, let's deal with these seven people together, so that they won't gossip about them and ruin my second brother's reputation, which will also affect the reputation of the marquisate."

The old marquis looked at these people, nodded, and waved his hand, saying: "Robbers are rampant in this world. Unfortunately, they encountered robbers just like Xiaotao's family."

This frightened them.

"Old Marquis, spare my life!"

When they heard that they were going to be beaten to death, they immediately became panicked.

"Madam, how come this is different from what we agreed upon at the beginning? You said that we could say a few words and then you would let us go, and we did as you said."

"Oh my god, if I had known I would not have earned these ten taels of silver. Not only did I harm Xiaotao's family, but I also had to sacrifice my life!"

"Madam, help! We have done everything you said, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"

……

These seven people were not of the same mind, and they were not loyal to the Liu family. They were just doing the job for money, but compared with money and their own lives, the latter was obviously more important.

So Su Qingwan deliberately squeezed them at this time, but who knew that they were so timid and actually told her everything.

"Grandpa, this..."

Su Qingwan was stunned.

Xiao Kang also reacted and immediately grabbed one of them and asked, "Speak clearly, what do you mean by following Liu's words?"

"Someone gave us ten taels of silver each and told us to say that Tao had an affair with a man. But her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she hasn't gotten married yet, so she must have an affair with a man... Ouch!"

Before the man could finish his words, Xiaokang slapped him in the face.

Xiaokang didn't bother to continue beating him and rushed out like a gust of wind. When she got outside, she screamed and then fainted. Someone hurriedly helped her back.

The old marquis's face turned livid, and he looked at Liu with eyes like a poisonous snake.

"Old Marquis, I don't know they are lying! I just ask them to repeat what they said to me, and then let them go."

After Liu calmed down, she immediately explained.

Anyway, I didn't give the money to these people personally. It was arranged by Yun Rou, so it's impossible for me to be traced back to me.

What the group of people said just now were just ambiguous accusations, which had no effect at all.

"Drag them all out and send them all away!" the old marquis said coldly again.

He would not keep this group of people. As for Liu, even if there was no direct evidence to prove that she did it, why did Liu choose to expose the matter in front of so many people on New Year's Eve?

She just wanted to force herself and Xiaokang to get rid of Su Yueqi's child in public without giving them time to investigate.

Humph! What a good plan!

He still treated Liu as the daughter-in-law of the Marquisate, but what she did was without any regard for the reputation of the Marquisate. She was even more selfish and disregarded the offspring of the Marquisate. The Marquisate of Chengping could not afford such a daughter-in-law.

"My Lord, it has been taken care of."

The old marquis's attendant came in and reported.

"Well... forget it!" The old marquis wanted to ask whether Xiaotao and the child were still alive, but he remembered that Xiaokang had fainted, and the mother and child were most likely dead.

Liu lowered her eyes, feeling extremely upset!

Now that the evil creature and this group of people are dead, Yun Rou and I are safe. I think the old marquis will not ask any more questions. After all, the child is not considered a human being until he sees the light of day.

At this time, Nanny Zhou behind Liu's back had her eyes rolling around, her hands were almost pinched to the point of bleeding, she was nervous and calculating, when she looked up, Nanny Zhou's eyes met Su Qingwan's...

"Go prepare the carriage and take Liu to the farm outside the city immediately. No one is allowed to leave the farm without my order!"

Liu suddenly looked up and exclaimed in disbelief: "Old Marquis!"

"Grandfather, why are you sending my mother to the farm on New Year's Day?" Su Yunrou asked hurriedly. She still needed Liu's help. If she was sent away, she would be the only one left.
