Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Wang Po and the others had just woken up and were a little confused about what had just happened. After being inexplicably acupunctured by the man in black, Xiao Tao waved something in front of them, and then they all lost consciousness.

When they woke up again, they heard Mu Yan crying loudly for her mother. Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew that Aunt Liu was gone. Ginkgo and Hongye also rushed in and threw themselves on the ground crying.

Mu Chu walked out and looked at Mrs. Wang coldly: "Mother Wang, please go and inform grandmother and Madam that Aunt Liu is gone."

The old lady Wang seemed to be surprised. She stood up and twisted her fat body and replied, "Yes, Third Miss." Then she took Xiaoju away.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came with Madam Wang. Mu Chu hadn't seen Madam Wang for a long time. She looked a little haggard, perhaps her father's death had some impact on her.

She was not surprised to see Mu Chu. She thought that Wang Po should have told her. She asked Mu Chu nervously: "Chu'er, why are you here?"

Mu Chu continued, "Madam, this is my home. I haven't married yet, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to go home, right? But I came to see my fourth brother and happened to see Aunt Liu pass away. It's really a coincidence."

Madam Qin was worried that something might go wrong, so she didn't argue with Mu Chu. She pretended to be sad and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Madam Liu passed away at such a young age, leaving me alone in this mansion without anyone to talk to. The old lady just heard the bad news and was so sad that she fell ill in bed."

Mu Chu sneered and continued, "It's a pity that Madam and the old lady have been thinking about Madam Liu all the time. But it's okay. Madam Liu has gone to the underworld to accompany father. I believe she will tell father everything about this mansion. When mother meets father a hundred years later, father will definitely praise mother for her tolerance and generosity."

Madam Qin was choked by her and was speechless. She was anxious to go in and see if Aunt Liu was dead, so she said to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, go and prepare. Choose a good cemetery for Aunt Liu and choose a day to carry her out."

The housekeeper went to do it immediately.

Madam Qin walked into the house, and Mu Chu followed her. When they entered, they saw Aunt Liu lying on the bed with a white veil covering her face, and Mu Yan was crawling on the ground sobbing.

The court doctor stood by and asked hurriedly, "Doctor Huang, what is the disease of Concubine Liu? Did she suffer in her life? Did she say anything?"

Doctor Huang knew that she wanted to ask if Aunt Liu had said anything before she died. However, because he had fainted just now, he didn't know the situation. Looking at Mu Chu's warning eyes, he thought of Mu Chu's warning to him just now. He dared to offend her and he would die without a burial place.

If it was just Mu Chu's threat to him, he would have thought that he didn't need to pay attention to it. Now Mu Chu was backed by the Qin family army and Qin Yuanyi. He knew a little about Qin Yuanyi's methods, so he weighed it in his mind and lied: "Madam, I personally treated Madam Liu, but Madam Liu's condition was too serious and too urgent. It should be a heart disease. She fell into a coma and passed away soon. She didn't leave any last words. It's really a pity."

Madam Qin seemed very satisfied with this answer. After receiving this news, she did not want to stay any longer. She waved her hand at Mrs. Wang as if she was not looking forward to it. She said, "Go and take care of Liu's affairs. I will be back first. The old lady still needs my help."

They left after saying that, as if a human life was nothing in their eyes. Mu Chu looked at their arrogant appearance and clenched his fists, but he still had no evidence and could not seek justice.

Mu Chu said to himself, I will make you pay the price.

After everyone left, only the kneeling Ginkgo and Hongye were left, and Mu Yan, who was already numb on the ground.

Mu Chu said to Gingxing, "Gingxing, go get some hot water and help Aunt Liu wash up."

Ginkgo replied yes and went to prepare.

Mu Chu looked back at Hongye on the ground, looked at her carefully, and asked her, "Hongye, do you feel good about selling out your master for fame?"

Hongye was immediately frightened by this question and trembled all over. She crawled on the ground and dared not look up: "Miss San, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Mu Chu sneered: "You don't know? Where did the bracelet on the hand of a concubine's maid come from?"

Hongye hurriedly tried to cover her wrist, but Xiaotao grabbed her hand when she saw this.

Mu Chu continued to ask: "Will you tell me?"

Hongye shook her head and said nothing.

Mu Chu continued calmly, "Yan'er, your mother must have been lonely when she passed away. I think we need to find someone to accompany her in the funeral. Do you think your mother likes red leaves more or ginkgo leaves more?"

Mu Yan, who was originally dazed, just listened to Mu Chu's questioning of Hong Ye. Combined with his mother's last words, he roughly knew in his heart that Hong Ye must be an accomplice in harming his mother, so he said: "My mother has always liked Hong Ye and said that she is considerate. I think Hong Ye is suitable."

Hongye listened to their words, raised her head and shouted frantically: "You can't touch me, my indenture is in the hands of my wife, you have no right to deal with me, don't even think about harming me."

Mu Chu wondered how there could be such a shameless person. He bent down and pinched Hongye's chin with his hand. With a little force, Hongye felt her face go numb. Mu Chu stared at her and said coldly: "Who said I want to punish you? You can commit suicide to apologize, or you can voluntarily die with the Lord, or you can still see the sun tomorrow. It's your choice."

Hongye looked at Mu Chu who had made up his mind to deal with her, and immediately shouted, "Help."

He had just shouted halfway when he felt that his throat could not make any sound and looked at Mu Chu angrily.

Mu Chu stood up straight and stared at her: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now I'll give you another chance."

Then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Tao: "Bring the poison here, the same bottle of poison as Auntie's. If she doesn't tell you, feed her the poison. Then go and inform the old lady that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Xiao Tao didn't know what Mu Chu meant at first, but Mu Yan was very smart and she immediately understood that Mu Chu didn't really want to kill her, he just wanted to scare her into telling the truth.

So Mu Yan stood up and took the bottle of antidote, then stood up and walked towards Hongye: "Hongye, my mother treats you well. In that case, you should go and accompany her." As she spoke, she pretended to feed her the medicine. Xiaotao, who was holding her down, turned her head away as she felt reluctant.

Hongye nodded desperately. Mu Chu gave her another shot in the neck, and she spoke: "It was Madam, it was Madam who gave me the poison, saying that if Auntie took it, she would let the Marquis take me as a concubine. I was bewitched, and I was wrong."

He kowtowed desperately and said, "Madam forced me to do this. I beg you, please let me go."
