<h4>Chapter 246: Qin Shu Confessed</h4>
In Prince Huai Mansion.
Listening to the information her maid inquired from outside the Qin Mansion, Concubine Qin frowned, and there was a faint pain in her lower abdomen.
“Madam, what should we do now? The Duke Qin Mansion has been surrounded by soldiers for an entire day. The Crown Princess obviously won’t easily let it go. Even the Duke Wu Mansion and Zhou Sisi have been…”
Concubine Qin angrily smashed a cup. “Why is this happening, why?!”
She had thought that even if Qiao Ruoyun died, no one would care. It was not strange that she would be killed by bandits in the South.
But Concubine Qin didn’t expect that the Crown Princess would have soldiers surround the entire Qin Mansion.
Didn’t the Crown Princess hate Qiao Ruoyun for stealing her identity?
And Duke Anyuan, why was he willing to be suspected by His Majesty for the sake of a fake daughter who had already died?
Prince Huai entered from the door, red at Concubine Qin and said, “It’s all your fault! How could Fulu find out that you had sent people to kill Qiao Ruoyun?”
Concubine Qin covered her lower abdomen and said, “I don’t know. Then what should we do now?”
Prince Huai was furious and couldn’t help missing Mu Qianqian. If only Mu Qianqian were here. She was so intelligent and would definitely have a way to help him out.
Unlike Mu Qianqian, Concubine Qin was full of vicious tricks but so ipetent!
Prince Huai took a deep breath. Today, his father deprived the Duke Wu Mansion of their nobility title without any hesitation. Zhou Sisi was still Consort Huai, but his father directly sentenced her to be executed in the autumn.
So, he, Prince Huai, his father’s son, was actually nothing in his father’s eyes.
...
Qin Shu was so tired that he didn’t know how long he had been asleep. When he woke up, he found that he was in an unfamiliar courtyard.
There were whitenterns hanging on both sides, and he leaned on the stone table. Although Luoyang was always hot, he actually felt a chill down his spine at this moment.
The wind blew through the tulle in the courtyard, and Qin Shu suddenly saw a womaning. Rubbing his eyes, he fell from the stone bench in shock, pointed his finger at Qiao Ruoyun and stammered, “You, you, …do note over.”
It was the first time Qiao Ruoyun saw Qin Shu look so scared. Qin Shu had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and in her eyes, he was a big hero. He had never been so frightened before.
In the flowers not far away, Qiao Jinniang, who was watching this scene, whispered to Lu Chen next to her. “If Qin Shu wasn’t the murderer, why would he be so flustered?”
Qiao Ruoyun said, “Ah Shu, I am Ruoyun…”
“Don’te over! Ahh! There’s a ghost here!” Qin Shu shouted in a loud voice, “It’s not me! I didn’t know about it until my fourth sister killed you. If you want to take revenge, go to her!”
Qiao Ruoyun bit her lip and looked at the skinny Qin Shu. She had thought that Qin Shu became so haggard after she “died” because he loved her so much.
It turned out that she was totally wrong…
Qiao Ruoyun said, “Qin Shu, since you knew that your fourth sister killed me, why didn’t you avenge me?”
Qin Shu panicked. “Ruoyun, you shouldn’t me me. You should me yourself! You’re the daughter of a ve. Even if the Crown Princess got a nobility title for your father, it can’t change your humble bloodline!
“Besides, the Duke Qin Mansion needs apetent young madam, but you’re so useless that even the Qiao nsman can bully you at will!”
Qiao Ruoyun shed a tear. “After I knew my identity, I voluntarily offered to divorce… But you said that my identity didn’t matter!”
Qin Shu said, “If I divorced you as soon as your identity was exposed, wouldn’t I be a joke in Chang’an? Everyone willugh at me for being such a snob!
“Besides, in order to maintain the rtionship with our Qin family, Duke Anyuan still retained your identity as his eldest daughter. How could I divorce you?”
“Ruoyun, I have affection for you, but you are not worthy of being my wife.
“Duke Anyuan humiliated me by making me marry the daughter of a ve. If you were just my concubine, I would definitely not allow them to take your life!”
Qiao Ruoyun staggered a few steps and asked Qin Shu, “Why did you have to kill me? I can’t give birth to a child for you, and for that, you have good reasons to divorce me!”
Qin Shu said, “With Duke Anyuan, I don’t even dare to take a concubine! Divorce you? How is that possible!
“It just so happened that my fourth sister became Prince Huai’s concubine. If I cooperate with Prince Huai, I can bring down Duke Anyuan sooner orter…
“But my fourth sister didn’t trust me, fearing that I would still take sides with the Crown Prince because of you, so she wanted to kill you. All this was done by my fourth sister and my father, and I didn’t know anything until Princess Fulu told me that you were in danger.
“If you want to take revenge, don’te at me! Go to my father and my fourth sister. They conspired to kill you.”
Qin Shu shouted loudly.
Qiao Ruoyun was devastated. She thought it was out of his love for her that her husband didn’t want to take a concubine, but it turned out that it was just because he was afraid of Duke Anyuan.
But because of this, she had to suffer from the torture of Old Madam Qin and gossip of others all the time. Everyoneughed at her, saying that she was a hen that couldn’ty eggs… which tortured her day and night!
“So the medicines you fed me after my miscarriage were actually meant to poison me to death, right?”
Qin Shu said, “Do you remember what Princess Fulu said at this timest year? She said that all the descendants of the Qin family would have your humble blood in their bodies!
“Sorry, Ruoyun, I can’t let my son have the bloodline of a ve! I can’t let my son beughed at by others!
“So every time before we had sex, I would drink a contraceptive decoction. The imperial doctor only diagnosed your pulse and wouldn’t find anything wrong with me!”
Qiao Ruoyun was trembling all over, “Humble bloodline? Bah, it’s your Qin family’s bloodline that is dirty and humble. Fortunately, I am not pregnant with your Qin Shu’s evil seed!”
Qiao Ruoyun was always weak, but this time, she rushed up and pped Qin Shu hard a few times like crazy.
Qin Shu saw Qiao Ruoyun’s shadow and frowned, “You’re not dead?”
Qin Shug grabbed Qiao Ruoyun’s wrist, “Are you really not dead? You…”
Qin Shu became more and more flustered, stretching out his hand to cover Qiao Ruoyun’s mouth and nose, trying to suffocate her to death when he was suddenly kicked away by a figure in ck.
Qian Yin hugged Qiao Ruoyun by the waist and asked gently, “Are you all right?”
However, Qiao Ruoyun was overwhelmed with grief and fainted.
Qiao Jinniang hurriedly asked the medical girl beside her to treat Qiao Ruoyun and said to Lu Chen, “Do you remember what Qin Shu said just now? Write a confession and let him sign it.”
Qiao Jinniang nced at Qin Shu with disdain.
Although Qin Shu was capable, it was because of his rtionship with Duke Anyuan that he was able to be themander of the imperial guards.
While despising Qiao Ruoyun, he still wanted to make use of the Duke Anyuan Mansion, which was simply disgusting.
When Qin Shu saw Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang, he realized that this ce should be in the East Pce, and what he said in panic just now was probably all heard by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
Qiao Jinniang spat at Qin Shu. “I was almost deceived by you, and I actually believed that you really loved my sister! You’re really disgusting!”
Qin Shu knew that he was finished, but he still said, “Crown Princess, if no one discovered that you were swapped with Qiao Ruoyun, do you think that you can be the Crown Princess as a ve-born businesswoman?”
Writing the confession paper on the side, Lu Chen gave a cold look to Qin Shu.
Qin Shu shouted, “Which man in the world is not like this?
“I am like this, so is the Crown Prince. How can you say I’m disgusting?
“Don’t forget, when you just returned to Chang’an, the Crown Prince only wanted you to be his second concubine!
“It can be seen that every man in the world cares about the origin and bloodline of their wives!”
