Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Several people chatted for a long time, and then reluctantly got on the carriage one after another.

After another half month of long journey, we finally returned to the General's Mansion.

Mrs. Li had been waiting in front of the door early. When she saw the carriage team approaching, she hurried forward to greet them.

"Mother!"

Su Liu jumped down from the carriage and rushed towards her.

Mrs. Li held her in her arms, with a look of distress on her face, and gently touched her head.

"Have you suffered during this time?"

Su Liu shook her head like a rattle. In fact, she didn't have enough fun, but she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Li.

"Mom, my little sister has really made a meritorious deed this time."

Wen Shiche also walked over, with a teasing smile on his lips.

"Really?" Mrs. Li looked at Su Liu with a smile on her face, "Then I want to celebrate my precious daughter."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of second brother!" Su Liu puffed up his lips and took Mrs. Li's hand again. "Okay, let's not stand at the door talking. Come in quickly."

Several people sat in the main room and chatted lively for a while. Mrs. Li was also extremely happy when the news about the Northwest War turned from defeat to victory.

However, when the show was about to end and everyone was about to go back to their rooms, she suddenly pulled Su Liu mysteriously, with a complicated expression.

"Liu'er, please stay for a while."

Su Liu was a little confused. She looked at Shen Luochen beside her and signaled him to go back first, and then she sat down again.

"Mother, what's the matter?" After everyone left the scene, she couldn't help but asked curiously.

Mrs. Li winked at the maids on the left and right, who immediately closed all the doors and windows with understanding.

Then, she sighed quietly and said:

"You know there is something wrong with this kid Ruoshui, right?"

Su Liu was shocked. She didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so keen and aware of the problem.

Seeing Su Liu's expression, Mrs. Li became more sure of her guess, and then continued:

"Ever since she invited Granny Zhao back last time, I paid close attention and ordered people to interrogate her severely. As expected, I found out that they were colluding."

The light in the room was dim, and Su Liu couldn't see her expression clearly, but her tone was full of exhaustion and chilling.

She paused and finally nodded:

"Mother, I know."

"Then why did she do this? How many things did she do behind the back of the General's Mansion?" Mrs. Li's mood suddenly became a little excited.

Su Liu thought for a while and concealed the fact that he had met Wen Ruoshui before coming to the General's Mansion.

Later, she revealed all the things she had investigated about Wen Ruoshui selling his official position, secretly rescuing his biological mother, and his dealings with the underground black market.

After saying these words, Mrs. Li's expression could no longer be described as shocked.

"Why did she do this? The government has never treated her badly!" She clutched her chest, looking distressed.

Seeing this, Su Liu couldn't help but sigh.

She could understand her feelings. The person she had treated as her own daughter for many years behaved like this behind her back.

"Are there any witnesses who can testify about this matter?" Mrs. Li asked again after she calmed down.

Su Liu thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed a suitable candidate at the moment.

"Actually, Master Sun in the mansion also knows something about it."

During the unannounced visit to the underground black market, Sun Liansheng happened to be present and was more or less a witness. As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li immediately ordered her maid to invite Sun Liansheng to the scene.

After Sun Liansheng arrived, she saw this posture and guessed most of it, but she still saluted Mrs. Li as usual.

"Master Sun, I heard from Liu'er that Ruoshui would trade with the underground black market and you were also there. Is this true?" Mrs. Li frowned and asked.

"It's true." Sun Liansheng nodded and answered concisely.

Mrs. Li's face suddenly darkened, her eyes flashed with unknown emotions, her white and slender hands clenched and unclenched, but in the end she said nothing.

"okay, I get it."

Now there were two witnesses, both of whom pointed out Wen Ruoshui's problem. Even if she didn't want to believe it, she had to accept the facts.

"Master Sun, please wait in the side room for a while." She said in a deep voice, then looked at her maid, "Go and bring Ruoshui here."

The maid nodded and exited the room.

Seeing this situation, Su Liu also guessed that he wanted to confront him on the spot and explain everything clearly.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and swallowed secretly. She had thought that such a day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

After a while, Wen Ruoshui followed the maid and pushed the door open.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

There was still a faint smile on her face, but after noticing Su Liu's presence, her expression became unnaturally stiff.

Mrs. Li nodded slightly, with a gloomy expression:

"Ruoshui, I have something to ask you."

Wen Ruoshui didn't know why, but when he saw Mrs. Li's expression, he couldn't help but panic.

"Selling an official position, colluding with the black market, and having private connections with outsiders, are you doing all of these?"

Mrs. Li's words were like a depth charge, instantly setting off huge waves in her heart.

"M-Mother, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Wen Ruoshui tried to calm down, with an innocent look on his face.

"Grandma Zhao has already recruited them all. You have already conspired to kill Liu'er. What else do you have to say?"

Mrs. Li looked at her condescendingly, her voice as cold as the wind in the cold winter months.

Cold sweat broke out on Wen Ruoshui's forehead. She didn't expect that Mrs. Li had already investigated so much, and her heart sank deeper and deeper.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, raised her head, and said:

"Mother, I admit that I was the one who found Granny Zhao."

Then, there were tears in her eyes and her tone was sad.

"I admit, after Sister Liu'er came, I was very jealous of her because she took away the love of her father and mother, but I just wanted to drive her away. I really didn't want to kill her!"

Wen Ruoshui spoke very sincerely, and as he spoke, he turned to look at Su Liu, looking pitiful.

Su Liu felt goosebumps all over his body and subconsciously took a few steps back.

This trick is really clever. It is much smarter to admit a minor crime and shirk other crimes than to refuse to admit it.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li also showed a wavering look on her face, but she quickly glared and continued to question:

"What does the underground black market have to do with you?"

Wen Ruoshui's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat, but there was no timidity on his face. Instead, he gritted his teeth and replied:

"My daughter doesn't know what the underground black market is."

At this moment, an old and powerful voice came from the side room:

"Nonsense!"
