Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 83
As soon as the words fell, everyone took a breath.

Li Qin was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the half-shrunk Xue Shi, and said word by word:

"What did you say? You say it again?"

Li Rui stepped forward excitedly, but told Zhao Shi to hug his arm.Zhao's face was pale, she shook her head at him, then looked at Li Xiang who was sitting beside him with a look of surprise, and said in a low voice:

"Husband, don't be angry, father-in-law and third uncle are here..."

Li Rui's blue veins were throbbing, but he didn't take half a step forward, pointing at Mrs. Xue and scolding:

"Mouth full of huqin! Mouth full of huqin!"

Xue raised her eyes from the crook of her arms, staring at Bai who was being protected by Mother Qin, with tears all over her face:
"I can't survive today... What else can I not say?"

"It's the Bai family! It's her who promised me... as long as I climb onto the bed of Xiangye and help her get rid of the wife, mother and son, I will share the power of the family with me! Even my Xue family can make great achievements in the future!"

Mother Qin's face turned pale, she let go of Bai Shi's hand, fell on the ground and clutched the corner of Li Qin's clothes, and said loudly:
"Second master! Second master! You can never believe this bitch's nonsense!"

"What kind of temperament is our wife... You don't know yet? She is trying to frame the third wife, and she intends to frame our wife!"

Li Qin looked down at Nanny Qin, hesitation flashed in his eyes, his body stiffened, and he looked at Li Sheng who was sitting behind him.

As if Li Sheng hadn't recovered from this absurdity, he looked at Bai Shi who was shaking his head and weeping, and then at Xue Shi who was in a mess, with a gloomy face.

Seeing Li Sheng looking over, Mrs. Xue widened her eyes and said excitedly:

"Master Xiang! Evidence... I have evidence!"

"Under the willow tree in front of my house is buried the unused incense from that day!"

Upon hearing this, Li Rui blushed and said:

"It's just digging out the incense, how can you prove that this thing belongs to my mother?"

Bai's figure paused, and he looked over while clutching the handkerchief, his eyes shone slightly.

Sure enough, Xue's face turned pale, yes, she couldn't prove that it was Bai's wrist, just like the head and face this morning, she couldn't tell clearly...

Bai's mood quickly calmed down, and she winked at Qin Nanny quietly.Just as Mother Qin was about to speak, she saw Mrs. Xue suddenly raised her head and said loudly:
"A box! There is a camphorwood box hidden under Madam's bed!"

When Bai Shi heard this, her body softened. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter a single word...

"I bribed the maid in the second lady's room... She said that there was a camphorwood box hidden under the second lady's bed, and when she was carrying someone on her back, she would secretly look through it alone in the room..."

"I beg the old lady to send someone to investigate, it will definitely be related to this matter!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Bai's face, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she was speechless in panic.

Li Rui's heart sank suddenly, Li Qin's face was sullen, and he looked at Bai Shi with a bit of indescribable disappointment.

Mrs. Li looked at the mess in the room, and she had a terrible headache. She endured it again and again, and said to Nanny Sun:
"You personally take someone to the second lady's room..."

Nanny Sun glanced at Mrs. Bai worriedly, and bowed to agree.

Less than an hour later, Nanny Sun came in by a camphor wood box.

The box is wrapped in a layer of brocade cloth, which shows the ordinary care.Grandma Sun opened the brocade cloth, revealing a black lacquered wooden box with a delicate silver lock hanging on it.

Mrs. Li glanced at the box, and looked at Mrs. Bai, her eyes were cold:
"Huiniang, is this box your treasure? Where is the key? Open it quickly..."

Bai's whole body trembled, she bit her lip and dared not go forward.

Nanny Qin stared blankly at Mrs. Bai, her eyes were full of shock, and she called out in a trembling voice:
"Ma'am...you..."

Li Taiwei waited impatiently, and said to Dafu:

"Dafu, go and open it!"

Dafu responded, stepped forward and grabbed the silver lock, pulled it lightly, and with a snap, the silver lock and buckle were pulled off.

Everyone looked over in dumbfounded, Nanny Sun calmed down and opened the wooden box, revealing a thick pile of calligraphy and paintings inside...

"Do not--!"

Bai Shi screamed and stepped forward, but Li Qin stretched out his hand to block it. He looked at Bai Shi with burning eyes, but turned to Li Rui and said:
"Go and see...what's in the box?"

Li Rui gave Bai Shi a distressed look, and bowed in response.Taking over the calligraphy and paintings from Nanny Sun, they opened them one after another, and glanced at the places where the signatures were signed, and they were all the same person: Qing Lang.

Qinglang, this is his third uncle's word.

Li Rui looked up from the calligraphy and painting, looked at Bai Shi in shock, his fingers trembled.

What else does Li Qin not understand at this time?
His face became paler and paler, he stared at Bai Shi for a long time, his eyes were red, he pointed at Xue Shi, and said to Bai Shi:
"What she said...is it true?...You really..."

Li Qin spoke bitterly, and a tear rolled out, hitting the bluestone floor, which was not conspicuous.

But Bai Shi trembled all over, as if the hot tears were burning on her heart, she curled up in pain.

"It's a servant girl! It's a servant girl who collected these calligraphy and paintings, it has nothing to do with Madam... I beg Second Lord..."

Nanny Qin rushed forward and kowtowed fiercely to Li Qin. Before she finished speaking, she slapped Li Qin and knocked her to the ground. She couldn't straighten up because of the pain.

With a cry of surprise, Bai rushed forward to help Nanny Qin, her tears were like broken beads...

"It's me...it's all me..."

Bai-shi cried and admitted everything,
"What she said is true... I designed Showa... I did all of this..."

"lady!"

Nanny Qin's face was swollen, she took Bai Shi's hand and screamed:
"Ma'am, you are confused..."

Bai Shi smiled with tears in his eyes:
"Mommy, I have endured half my life, and today I can finally say it..."

She turned her head to look at Li Sheng, her gaze was tender, and she broke down in tears:
"If it wasn't for Showa's order to get married back then...I would be your wife..."

"On Xinglin Street, you used to be the Tanhualang I recognized at a glance... Even if the marriage is destined, I also insist on marrying into the Li family...just to be by your side every day..."

"Li Baishi!"

Li Sheng got up suddenly, clenching his fingers into fists, interrupted Bai's words sharply:
"I used to respect you like a mother! But I didn't know that you were so dirty that you almost killed my wife and children!"

"National laws and family rules are not tolerated by heaven!"

Li Sheng flicked his sleeves:
"Since you have pleaded guilty, let the case be investigated by Dali Temple..."

"uncle!"

Li Rui raised his robe and knelt in front of Li Sheng, begging with red eyes:

"Uncle... this matter is all due to my mother's momentary confusion... I beg uncle to spare her life..."

Mrs. Zhao also knelt down and kowtowed to Li Sheng:

"Uncle... this matter is related to the reputation of the Li family, please forgive me..."

Li Taiwei suddenly sneered, she walked forward, looked at Li Rui and his wife and said:
"Big brother thinks that Mrs. Bai tried to murder my mother, so he can easily expose the matter?"

Li Rui choked for a moment, his face turned pale, and he murmured:

"My mother is bewildered...but she hasn't killed anyone yet..."

Before the words fell, the young man outside the door hurriedly came to report:
"Master, the Jingzhao Mansion has just sent an official to say that the third master of the Bai family has confessed to the murder of the imperial doctor Fang, please ask the second lady to go over and question..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai's body went limp and fell straight down...
