Chapter 137 Chapter 137
Qiu's mother was defiant, and she didn't regard Fu Zhao as her master at all.

The way she spoke to Fu Zhao was like scolding a little girl who did something wrong.

And she still dared to do this in front of Mrs. Chen. In private, Qiu's mother's attitude couldn't be more extreme.

Mrs. Chen took a sip of her tea, but did not help Fu Zhao immediately.

She wanted to see how Fu Zhao would respond.

Fu Zhao rested her hands restlessly on her knees. She drooped her head and moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say.

After a while, she raised her head and whispered like a child who did something wrong, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

Qiu's mother said relentlessly: "It's good to know, I watched Shizi grow up, and I know what kind of good wife he likes. If you continue to do this, I'm afraid Shizi will be disappointed in you!"

Madam Chen put down the tea bowl and turned up the volume, "Okay, okay, Mommy Qiu, let's talk about something serious."

Mother Qiu is not afraid of Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was also her defeat back then.

She said: "Okay, tell me, madam, why did you arrest me?"

Mrs. Chen winked, and the servants brought over the box found in Mother Qiu's room, and placed it in front of everyone.

Open the box, inside is a box full of jewelry.

Everything is very beautiful and worth a lot of money.

Qiu's mother's complexion changed, and she quickly calmed down again.

The villain first complained, "Ma'am, even if you are the head of the Marquis Mansion, you can't search the old slave's house for no reason. After all, the old slave is the dowry of the first wife. You don't respect the old slave so much. You don't know that the Marquis is back. How would you feel?"

This trick again!
Mrs. Chen was very bored. In the past, Mother Qiu often brought out Lord Hou to scare her, or she simply went directly to him to complain.

But at that time, she had nothing to do.

"Here are all your things?" Mrs. Chen asked, pointing to the box.

Mother Qiu nodded without hesitation.

Mrs. Chen stepped forward and looked through the things in the box, "These, why do I look like my sister's things? When I put away the things left by my sister, I also looked at them a few times, and I have some impressions."

Mother Qiu said without showing any weakness, "Then do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence." Mrs. Chen sat back and took out a booklet. "This is the dowry booklet left by my sister. Don't you know if you compare it with the above?"

Mother Qiu sneered in her heart, it turned out that they had already calculated everything, and they were just waiting for her to set the trap.

Qiu's mother changed her words without changing her expression, "Oh, some of them were specially confessed by Mrs. Xian, and I let the old slave take care of them personally. This old slave did not dare to disappoint Mrs. Xian, so he kept them by his side all the time. Relax."

Mrs. Xian left long ago, and now I just let Mother Qiu say whatever she wants.

Mrs. Chen's complexion changed, and she scolded in her heart, this mother Qiu!What a thick skin!

Mother Qiu's words made her speechless.

What a scheming!
Mrs. Chen's mind was spinning rapidly, looking for a countermeasure.

Anyway, this time, she definitely won't let Mother Qiu out of her yard completely!

But this mother Qiu is really cunning!

Just as Mrs. Chen was racking her brains, Fu Zhao's soft voice sounded.

"Eh? Something seems to be missing." Fu Zhao said.

Mother Qiu glared at her, and said angrily, "What do you know? Stop talking nonsense here, you haven't even seen Mrs. Xian's face, what's in here, how could you know?"

Fu Zhao smiled, "I also heard Shizi mention it unintentionally, saying that Mrs. Xian has a favorite white jade bracelet. Although it is not expensive, it is often worn and is very cherished."

Mother Qiu's heart tightened, Shizi even told Fu Zhao about these things?

But it's okay, she also has countermeasures.

Mother Qiu let out a groan, and said, "That bracelet, Mrs. Xian loves it like a treasure, so I will take it as a funeral object and go with Mrs. Xian."

"That's not right," Fu Zhao's face turned confused, "I seem to have seen it a few days ago."

Mother Qiu said disdainfully: "How do you know what Mrs. Xian's bracelet looks like? Don't make trouble."

Mrs. Chen ignored Qiu's mother and asked Fu Zhao directly, "Where did you see it?"

Fu Zhao thought for a while and said, "It seems that I saw it in Miss Cheng's hand. At that time, Shizi also showed me the portrait of that bracelet, so I always remembered it."

Hearing that Cheng Yushu was involved again, Mrs. Chen was speechless for a while.

Qiu's mother clenched her fists even more secretly, her eyes filled with gloom.

Sure enough, Fu Zhao found out everything!

Fu Zhao really has a deep scheming mind. In the past, she made things difficult for Fu Zhao in every possible way. She thought Fu Zhao was easy-going and soft-tempered, so she relaxed her vigilance.

This gave Fu Zhao an opportunity to take advantage of!

Mother Qiu's remorse!

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, and asked someone to call Cheng Yushu.

Mrs. Chen ordered again: "Take Mama Qiu to the side for a rest."

Qiu's mother turned pale with shock. If she wasn't here, she didn't know what Cheng Yushu could say.

She immediately yelled, "No! I want to stay too!"

But this was on Mrs. Chen's territory, and seeing that she refused to leave by herself, someone came forward and dragged her away.

When Qiu's mother saw this, she yelled desperately, trying to wake up Cheng Yushu, tell her not to talk nonsense, and confide all the things between them.

Mrs. Chen ordered irritably: "Quickly shut her mouth!"

Mother Qiu was gagged and dragged out.

After about a stick of incense, Cheng Yushu came over.

Mother Chen took another look at Cheng Yushu, only to see that Cheng Yushu had changed her attire from head to toe, and put on the half-worn, unremarkable clothes she used to wear on weekdays.

Cheng Yushu caught sight of Fu Zhao from the corner of his eye, and his heart tightened.

She dared to speak to Fu Zhao with a spear and stick, but in front of Mrs. Chen, she was too obedient.

Because she clearly understood that it was all thanks to Mrs. Chen that she was able to stay in the Hou's mansion and still be treated as a half-master.

She obediently blessed Mrs. Chen, and said, "Why is my aunt looking for me?"

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, but waved to Cheng Yushu.

Cheng Yushu was full of doubts, but he still obediently walked up to Mrs. Chen.

Madam Chen pursed her lips, and pulled up Cheng Yushu's sleeve, revealing the white jade bracelet on Cheng Yushu's wrist.

She had never seen Mrs. Xian's bracelet, but she remembered that Cheng Yushu didn't wear such a bracelet when he first came here.

She asked in a deep voice, "Yu Shu, where did this bracelet come from?"

Cheng Yushu's heart was in a mess. First, Qiu's mother was arrested, and now even the bracelet was found.

Could it be that Mrs. Chen and Fu Zhao already knew about her plan?
