Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1201 Check and Balance Trump Card
Hearing Dong'er asking her to take her in, Zhou Yuexue, who didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Jinyun anymore, wanted to refuse on the grounds that her death was in Liu Yunxiang's hands and she had no other choice.

But when he heard Dong'er's next words, he changed his mind:
"You said...Gu Qinglan didn't die in childbirth, but was plotted against by Liu Yunxiang?"

Dong'er nodded heavily. Her man had been losing money recently and was thinking of selling her to pay off his debts. She tried to escape in order to survive.

In order to ask Zhou Yuexue to accept her, Dong'er spoke in an extremely urgent and sincere tone:

"I was slacking off when I accidentally heard Manager Jiang talking to her son. I definitely didn't hear it wrong.

Manager Jiang was promoted by the Second Madam from the manor to be her personal manager. Although he has only been with the Second Madam for five years, he is quite trusted by her. What she said must be true.

Zhou Yuexue picked up the teacup, thinking non-stop:

Recently, someone wanted to harm her, and Chu Chengyao didn't allow her to go out or interact with outsiders. She knew very well that she was carrying a baby in her belly, so she naturally didn't dare to take any risks.

Unfortunately, the person that he had spent money to find last time did not do his job well and let Lin Jinyun come back alive. The Jingzhao Yinfu was still investigating the person who kidnapped Lin Jinyun, so there was no good opportunity to take action again.

Although she managed to stabilize Lin Jinyun by using the child, that man was a lovesick fool who ignored her for a long time. If he did something stupid in a hurry and was discovered, her life would be in danger.

If I hold evidence that his mother killed someone, I will have an extra way to check and balance him in the future. Even if he breaks off relations and tells me about the physical intimacy we had in the past, I can still say that he framed me maliciously in order to save his mother's life.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuexue smiled gently, saying that she would do her best to protect Dong'er and would go to Chu Chengyao later. Helping Dong'er, who was bowing in gratitude, Zhou Yuexue smiled kindly and told Shun'er to take Dong'er away to settle him down, thinking about how to ask Chu Chengyao to keep him.
-
Zhou Yuexue got the trump card of checks and balances, but Liu Yunxiang was in a gloomy mood.

Ever since the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, Lin Siran has become more confident. In the past, when Liu Yunxiang would make trouble with him, he would avoid her if possible, but these past few days, he has shown no signs of restraint and even expressed the intention of divorcing her.

Just as he was complaining to Liu Momo about his miserable life, he saw a servant bringing Xiao Tao in.

After greeting Liu Yunxiang, Xiaotao called out "Mom" and threw herself into Liu Momo's arms and cried loudly. Liu Momo hugged her lost and found daughter tightly and also burst into tears.

Ever since she learned that her daughter was sold for climbing into the master's bed, Liu Momo has been feeling worried. She even tried to find out privately where her daughter was sold to, but she was just a servant and not only did she have to be on duty, but her abilities were also limited, so she was unable to find any trace of her daughter.

When the two of them recovered, Liu Yunxiang, who thought Xiao Tao was a sneak out, sent the servants away and said kindly:

"Okay, after what happened, I think you've learned your lesson. In the future, you should abide by your duties and stay by my side with your mother to serve me."

Listening to Liu Momo's repeated thanks, Xiao Tao wiped away her tears with her sleeves, her aggrieved expression mixed with resentment:

"I have never had any ambitions towards my master. The one who climbed into my bed was my cousin from the Zhou family, now the Princess of Jin. I was just following the young master's orders and bringing her in.

For the sake of Princess Jin's reputation, the young master wanted to silence me, so he lied that it was me who climbed into his bed, and sold me off. After he found out he had been deceived, he brought me back to question me."
