The dim back

Xiao Tao's mother accused Liu Zhongqing and asked, "The world is really going downhill. The young lady is such a good person, how could you let her down?"

Liu Zhongqing felt puzzled and felt very upset: "How can you say that? I didn't do anything."

Xiao Tao's father coughed and pointed at Liu Zhongqing and cursed: "You ungrateful person."

Liu Zhongqing began to argue: "I have never forgotten to help Qiu Feng find evidence of Qiu's injustice, so how can I be ungrateful?"

Hearing Liu Zhongqing say this, Xiao Tao's father became happy and his gloomy face was no longer there: "Lord Qiu and his family are very kind to us, especially Miss Qiu Feng, who always greets us with a smile."

Liu Zhongqing had a question in his mind: "Then let me ask you, I hope you can tell the truth. This is a birthday peach sent to the Queen Mother in the name of Zhang Yulu. Did you put the poison gas in the birthday peach?"

Xiao Tao's father admitted: "It was indeed us who released it. We just felt it was unfair. If Zhang Yulu were to break off the engagement with you, there would be hope for our Miss Qiu Feng."

Xiao Tao's mother was even more self-righteous: "If the young lady is really with you, can she save Mr. Qiu?"

After hearing these words, Liu Zhongqing hesitated.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "If you want to reunite as a family, I have no objection, but please don't use our Yiren Villa as a substitute."

Liu Zhongqing turned around and saw Zhang Yulu outside the door, and hurriedly began to change the subject: "Why did you come here so suddenly?"

Zhang Yulu originally thought so in her heart, because her father was involved in Mr. Qiu's case at the time. Although he was just keeping watch at the door, he was indeed involved in this matter. Morally speaking, Zhang Yulu felt particularly sorry for Qiu Feng.

But now after hearing the conversation between Xiaotao's family of three and Liu Zhongqing, Zhang Yulu felt that he should not be so kind.

Faced with this situation, the system began to remind Zhang Yulu: "Master Host, what happened next is evidence that you murdered the Queen Mother. May I help you uncover it?"

Zhang Yulu told the system: "Of course we have to reveal these."

Zhang Yulu knew it very well. The situation in the novel was like this. When she was exposed, Qiu Feng ran to her, knelt on the ground crying and begging her. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it was her malicious frame-up.

Later, this incident became known to everyone in Beijing, and they all thought that Zhang Yulu was a cruel and ruthless woman. It was because of this incident that Zhang Yulu was criticized by others no matter where she went.

Zhang Yulu decided to change the past and stop saying viciously to Xiaotao's family: "I heard your conversation today. Do you think I will let you go?"

After hearing this, Xiao Tao's father began to get scared: "I heard that you have a lot of torture tools in Yiren Villa. I'm afraid of those torture tools."

Zhang Yulu showed a sinister smile and said, "Why don't you just give it a try? I'm not stingy."

After Zhang Yulu finished speaking, he turned to Xiaotao's mother and said, "Hurry up and tell me the truth, or I will make you pay."

Xiaotao's mother had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow, "I'm really sorry. I'm just a fool. I just added a special poison to the flour when you were making the birthday peaches."

Zhang Yulu decided to ask for clarification: "What kind of poison is it? Tell me about it."

Xiao Tao's mother said timidly: "What kind of poison is it? I really don't know. This poison was given to me by Miss Qiu Feng."

Liu Zhongqing couldn't believe his ears: "How could Qiu Feng, who is so kind, do something to frame others?"

Xiao Tao and his parents immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "We guarantee it with our names, but for our young lady, we know it is wrong, and we will continue to do it with our heads down. No matter what, we will not let our young lady suffer any injustice."

After hearing this, Xiao Tao's mother looked at Liu Zhongqing and said, "My Lord, please take me over so that we can report to the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Tao held her mother's hand, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "My Lord, if you really want to arrest someone, then arrest me. My parents are already very old and cannot stand the calamity of imprisonment."

Hearing Xiaotao say this, Liu Zhongqing felt particularly powerless.

Liu Zhongqing turned to Zhang Yulu and said, "For my sake, can you let them go?"

Zhang Yulu smiled bitterly: "If no one in their family admits what happened today, then I will be the only one to admit it. Am I that stupid?"

Zhang Yulu knew the subsequent outcome, which was nothing more than Liu Zhongqing finding a scapegoat.

This time, Zhang Yulu said that nothing could stop this from happening. He already had a plan in mind: "Don't think about finding a scapegoat. This will only make them more unscrupulous. It would be better to arrest a few people."

Liu Zhongqing looked at Zhang Yulu in confusion: "Why are you so persistent about this matter, or do you have a problem with Qiu Feng?"

Zhang Yulu shook her head: "It has nothing to do with these. I just want them to know that they should be responsible for their own actions and should be brave enough to take responsibility for their actions."

Xiao Tao's mother immediately stepped forward and said to Zhang Yulu fiercely, "If you want to confess, then help me catch him. I am an old woman and I am of no use anyway."

Zhang Yulu was very calm and said to Liu Zhongqing: "Since Xiaotao's mother is so generous, then send Xiaotao's mother over. If the Queen Mother can forgive me, I will not pursue the matter any further."

Zhang Yulu knew that the Queen Mother wanted to use this incident to curry favor with Liu Zhongqing.

Even if it was sent over, Xiaotao's mother wouldn't have any trouble.

After knowing all this, Zhang Yulu felt particularly melancholy: "If you have the ability, just send it over and let me see your attitude. I am not the kind of person who will not let others off even if they are right."

After hearing this, Xiao Tao's mother kept kowtowing: "Then let me go directly, so that we don't owe Zhang Yulu anything."

Xiao Tao's mother looked at Zhang Yulu and said, "You are not as magnanimous as our Miss Qiu Feng. If it were Miss Qiu Feng, she would definitely find a way to explain it to the Queen Mother and would never send us to die."

Zhang Yulu laughed out loud: "Then go find your Miss Qiufeng. I'm someone you don't want to mess with."

After saying this, Zhang Yulu clapped his hands, turned around and walked out.

Liu Zhongqing looked at the scene in front of him and had to make a final struggle: "Just let them go, even if I beg you."
