Chapter 125 The Past
In the next few days, everything was as agreed between Chu Qing and Liu Guojiu. When Wu Youlin accidentally investigated a murder case, he intercepted a kidnapping case. Because many people were involved, Wu Youlin took him directly went back.

Afterwards, rumors began to circulate that the person who was kidnapped this time also belonged to the Liu family, and it was said that he was the head of a side branch of the Liu family. Just when everyone began to think that the Liu family had done too much evil, one after another .It suddenly came out that the reason why the master of the Liu family branch was arrested this time was actually involved in many things, including, in order to please the eldest son, he even went so far as to kidnap and blackmail and frame him. Yu Kuifeng, the second son of the prime minister, was released from prison.

There was a debate for two or three days because of the authenticity of this matter, because it was said by Wu Youlin, who has won the hearts of the people, many people believed it, and there was an uproar for a while.

Later, the master of the Liu family refused to admit it, and Wu Youlin found a lot of evidence. In the end, when faced with these, he had to admit that he originally wanted to please the elder son. He bribed most of his family fortune, and later he revealed the eunuchs and maids in the palace who had been bribed, and they were arrested together.

After the incident got serious, I was afraid that I would lose my life, so I simply pretended to be stupid, but I didn't expect to be picked out.

So after Wu Youlin personally said these things, for a while, there were many people who sympathized with Liu Shizi, and Liu Deqian's reputation was washed away little by little.

Chu Qing didn't know how Uncle Liu Guo persuaded Mr. Liu. After Mr. Liu cooperated in such a play, he was directly imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Because of the solid evidence, Master Zhen handed over the dossier to Li Tianxiao.Although Li Tianxiao knew about it a long time ago, he still made a fuss in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but in the end he settled the case and the matter was completely settled.

Liu Deqian was acquitted and released that day. Uncle Liu Guo personally brought more than a dozen servants to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick up Liu Deqian. Liu Deqian probably got the order one step earlier. He behaved quite miserably and earned a lot of sympathy.

In this way, Liu Deqian was not only released without charge, but also washed his reputation.

Even some skeptical voices were refuted by those who believed in Wu Youlin.

Uncle Liu Guo was going to invite Chu Qing to a banquet the next day to thank him, but when the invitation letter was sent to Beizhen Fusi, he found that Yu Xiaochu had been dispatched and would not return until two days later.

Uncle Liu Guo gave up his mind and threw a big banquet for Liu Deqian, threatening to have a good time to get rid of bad luck.

After Officer Yu Gufeng was reinstated, and after Liu Deqian was released, he appeared in the Imperial Study Room again. When Chu Qing saw him, although she helped Li Tianxiao get some benefits for this matter, Yu Gufeng was the most innocent .Chu Qing seriously apologized to him: "Young Master Yu has been wronged by this matter."

Yu Kufeng laughed, obviously he was fine: "There is no wronged or wronged, if it wasn't for Mr. Chu, I would probably still be locked up in the cell right now."

Chu Qing: "But Liu Deqian was released, Young Master Yu..."

Yu Kuifeng waved his hand: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I can still distinguish between big and small things. Even if people call Liu Deqian scolded by everyone, he still has a piece of meat. Now, he can remove a hidden danger for the emperor. Chu Young master, you don't know, the emperor planned to reuse Wu Youlin at that time, if he really reused it, it would be terrible."

Therefore, this time Chu Qing hit the right spot by mistake. In the future, the emperor must be more cautious in choosing candidates.

In addition, Chu Qing became Uncle Liu's staff, and it will be more convenient for them to do things in the future.

After all, even if that old thief Liu Guojiu thought about it, he probably wouldn't have thought that Yu Xiaochu would be one of them, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Kuifeng became more than half angry.

Chu Qing saw that Yu Gufeng's attitude didn't look like a fake, so he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Tianxiao: "How does the emperor plan to deal with that Wu Youlin?"

Li Tianxiao's eyes darkened: "Since Uncle Liu Guo threw Wu Youlin out, he should have directly regarded Wu Youlin as an abandoned son. Since he is an abandoned son, there is no need for me to be polite."

It's just that there are too many tricks for Wu Youlin to be famous and give Wu Youlin a bright promotion.

Chu Qing was relieved, and nodded: "Uncle Liu Guo is afraid that he will come to visit me again in two days. I will not go back to the palace in these few days."

Li Tianxiao was also afraid that if she was exposed, Liu Guojiu might be a murderer, so he thought about it and said, "Be careful."

Two days later, Uncle Liu Guo sent someone again, as if Chu Qing had just come back from another place, she followed Steward Liu to the Liu Mansion.

Uncle Liu Guo hosted a banquet for Chu Qing alone in the lobby. This time, besides Mrs. Liu, there was also Liu Deqian.

Compared with the last time she came here, Liu Deqian had a better expression, and raised his glass directly: "I heard that this time is thanks to Mr., I would like to toast Mr."

Liu Deqian's sir made Chu Qing look at Uncle Liu Guo in "surprise".

Uncle Liu Guo laughed loudly: "Qian'er is stupid, I want Mr. Xiao Chu to give me some advice now and then, I don't know if it's possible?"

Chu Qing seemed quite pleasantly surprised: "It's just...wouldn't this be too good?"

Uncle Liu Guo: "What are you afraid of? If the old man thinks it's okay, then it's fine! Ma'am, what do you think?"

Madam Liu covered her lips with a veil and smiled: "What the master said is naturally correct."

Chu Qing didn't refuse any more, but she didn't dare to drink Liu Deqian's toast. Last time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she still didn't know if she was talking nonsense when she was drunk. She went to ask Li Tianxiao, and the latter was quite Tight, it's really a headache: "My lord, Xiaosheng is really not very good at drinking, he just pours a glass, Xiaosheng replaces wine with tea, I propose a toast to you."

Liu Deqian hummed lightly: "Don't you want to save face, sir?"

Chu smiled softly: "How could it be? But Xiaosheng still has official business in Beizhen Fusi, so it would be wrong if he said something indiscriminately after getting drunk. Therefore, Xiaosheng generally...doesn't drink."

Uncle Liu Guo immediately understood what Chu Qing meant, and said: "Mr. is indeed a great talent. It's really good to be so cautious! Then replace wine with tea, and come to exchange tea. Today we will also drink tea with Mr. .”

Chu lightly begged for forgiveness: "Xiaosheng is terrified."

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, before Chu Qing left, she glanced at Mrs. Liu calmly, the latter had a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Obviously, Liu Deqian is good, but she is not happy.

Chu Qing thought, Mrs. Liu might not be able to help but come to her soon.

Sure enough, within two days, Steward Liu invited Chu Qing again, this time in the name of Mrs. Liu, saying that she thought the husband was a great talent, but she didn't understand a few Buddhist principles and wanted to ask him to give some advice.

Chu Qing knew that since Mrs. Liu dared to blatantly summon her to go, she might have found a reason to deal with Uncle Liu Guo, and she passed by openly, so it would not arouse suspicion.

Mrs. Liu met Chu Qing in the Small Buddha Hall this time.

Butler Liu took Chu Qing to the Small Buddha Hall and left. After Mrs. Liu's close nuns brought her in, the two nuns guarded the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Mrs. Liu knelt on the futon and read a section of Buddhist scriptures before getting up.

Welcoming Chu Qing to the inner room, poured tea for her personally: "Young master, do you know who I come to chant scriptures every day, and who is it for?"

Chu Qing said: "I don't know if it is...?"

Madam Liu picked up the cup and squinted her eyes, as if she remembered something from the past, her eyes sank, and she took a sip of tea.

After Madam Liu finished drinking tea, she didn't speak for a long time, until Chu Qing thought she would not speak, Madam Liu said slowly: "I sent... my unborn Lin'er."

Chu Qing was taken aback, but she didn't expect that Madam Liu was pregnant.

But it is also true, since Mrs. Liu is fine, and Liu Deqian is not her biological child after so long, then something must have happened to make her unable to conceive in the future.Otherwise, she wouldn't be a concubine, but raise a child of unknown origin under her knees as her own.

"Ma'am, what... what's going on?"

"Heh." Mrs. Liu sneered, as if remembering some old things, she gritted her teeth with hatred: "I was pregnant with Lin'er back then, but when I was giving birth, I was told that the labor would be difficult and I gave birth to a stillbirth. Hahaha, stillbirth I don't believe it, how can I believe it? But the child is indeed dead. I hugged him for the first time, but he was cold all over... Do you know the feeling of despair? Want to cry, but can't cry Come out, that feeling is too uncomfortable." Madam Liu gritted her teeth, her eyes were scarlet, and she took a deep breath, and managed to recover herself from the hatred.

She wiped her face hard before looking at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing glanced at that, as if seeing a female beast, because of the feeling of wanting to die together when the cub was killed by someone.

"It's just... how did this son of the world become Madam's child?"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu probably hated her even more, and then slowly said: "This is not what makes me most desperate. Lin'er died young. No matter what I do, I will never think of it on the master's head. After all, That is his own flesh and blood... But, do you know? On the same day, almost at the same time as my lin'er died, he brought back a child and told me that he wanted me to raise him as his son in the future. He said it was compensation Mine, and said... I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive in the future. Hahaha... It's just a dystocia, even if it's a stillbirth, why can't I get pregnant again?"

Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, thinking, Uncle Liu Guo couldn't be so cruel, could he?

"Then... what's going on?"

"What's going on? So what if he did it flawlessly? The doctor in the mansion agreed that it was dystocia that caused the hemorrhage, but later, after I finished confinement, I went to another doctor, and he said that I really couldn't conceive. It's just that it's not an accident, but man-made." At the end of Madam Liu's words, she laughed softly, "Those childless decoctions were mixed during my confinement period. The purpose...is to make me childless in the future. He is so cruel, so cruel... He told me that the child was just adopted, just to let me get out of the pain of losing Lin'er, heh, who would believe this reason? It was his illegitimate child! Such a child actually harmed my Lin'er! In order to make him a son-in-law, he actually did this to me!"
