The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 296 Incident at Tianxiang Tower

Qianqian returned to Tianxiang Tower, feeling sullen and depressed.

"What's wrong?" asked Mo's mother.

Qianqian said, "I didn't expect that Gu Dashu, that country bumpkin, would treat his wife so well."

Mother Mo sneered, "Let me tell you, Qianqian, there are no good men in this world. Gu Dashu is good to his wife only because you didn't offer enough incentive."

Qianqian remained silent.

Mother Mo continued, "I've already joined Boss Tong's business. No matter what kind of person Gu Dashu is, don't mess with him."

Qianqian said, "I understand."

But I was still unwilling to give up.

The country girl Yue'e had such thick powder and red rouge on her face, and such a dazzling hairpin in her hair. She looked like a nouveau riche bumpkin. What on earth did Gu Dashu see in her?

If it weren't for Tong Huaqiong's warning, she really wanted to continue testing how long Gu Dashu's sincerity could last.

"Qianqian, Young Master Chen is here." Someone called out.

Qianqian's face instantly turned cold, and she said, "I'm not feeling well today, please ask Young Master Chen to leave."

But Young Master Chen didn't care and went straight upstairs.

Qianqian was forced to accept it.

"You promised to take down Gu Dashu, why didn't you do it last night?" Young Master Chen immediately launched into a tirade of accusations.

Qianqian's temper flared up, and she said with a sneer, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

Mother Mo stepped in to smooth things over.

Although she reached an agreement with Tong Huaqiong, it doesn't mean she'll give up making money off Chen Er Gongzi.

After all, guests are guests.

Young Master Chen's face darkened, his temper flaring. He immediately retorted, "I have no shame? You, a mere courtesan, dare to talk to me about shame? What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You want me to redeem you? Do you even deserve to step into my house?"

Qianqian retorted, "Who's been bothering me every day? Do you think I need your redemption? What kind of good family is your Chen family? They're filthy and disgusting. Except for the pastries in your shop, everything else in your house is dirty. If you think this place is dirty, then don't come in. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you think you can hook me with just a few words and make me wholeheartedly plot against Gu Dashu and Peach Blossom Dessert with you? Do you think I'm as stupid as you? I agreed to your request on purpose just to see just how stupid you really are!"

"You think you're standing here because of your own abilities? Try taking off the title of the second young master of Jin Fengxiang and who will recognize you? You can't beat your elder brother, so you try to drag Peach Blossom Dessert down with all sorts of despicable means. You think you're so wise and powerful? I feel disgusted just talking to you. You even tried to seduce me with the concubines of the Chen family. I'd rather have eight hundred customers a day in a brothel than be your concubine."

Young Master Chen was pampered and adored since childhood; he had never been scolded like this before.

Moreover, he was being scolded by a prostitute he looked down upon.

Enraged, the second young master Chen raised his foot and kicked Qianqian.

Qianqian couldn't dodge it in time and took a hard kick to the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood that tasted sweet and metallic.

"Qianqian!" Mother Mo was terrified.

Young Master Chen was furious; he wasn't satisfied with just one kick and wanted to kick again.

Despite the excruciating pain, Qianqian grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it over Chen Er Gongzi's head with a bang.

Young Master Chen swayed and then collapsed.

When Madam Mo turned around, she almost fainted from fright. Young Master Chen was lying on the ground, blood flowing from his head.

"What should we do?" Mother Mo was completely disoriented. She bent down and shook Young Master Chen, but he lay there motionless like a dead dog.

"Qianqian, you killed someone," Mo's mother said to Qianqian in a trembling voice.

At this moment, Qianqian seemed to wake up from a deep dream.

She killed someone!

She killed someone!

"Second Young Master! Second Young Master!" Upon hearing the commotion, Chen Er Gongzi's servant ran upstairs. Seeing Chen Er Gongzi covered in blood, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and shouted, "Tianxiang Tower has killed someone! Tianxiang Tower has killed someone!"

The servant's shouts instantly drew people out of the various private rooms in Tianxiang Tower.

Chen Er Gongzi and Qianqian were surrounded. Soon, all the merchants in Pearl Lane knew that Qianqian from Tianxiang Tower had killed Chen Er Gongzi.

Tong Huaqiong learned the news the next morning.

"Mother, I heard that Qianqian killed someone. And it was Young Master Chen who killed her." Liu Yue'e had finished eating breakfast outside and heard a lot of gossip. She ran over to tell Tong Huaqiong, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

Young Master Chen deserves it; who told him to scheme against her man and Peach Blossom Dessert?

Qianqian deserved it; she should go to jail for murder, and she'll never seduce her man again.

Liu Yue'e wished she could set off a few strings of firecrackers to celebrate.

"Did he really kill someone?" Tong Huaqiong couldn't believe it.

“How could that be false? Mama Mo and Qianqian from Tianxiang Tower have already been taken away, and the others are all locked up in their rooms and will be interrogated one by one,” Liu Yue’e said.

She made a point of passing by Tianxiang Tower and saw clearly that there were yamen runners guarding the four corners of Tianxiang Tower.

Tong Huaqiong still didn't believe that Qianqian had killed Chen Er Gongzi.

In Tong Dajiao's memories of her previous life, she didn't know what Qianqian and Mo's mother encountered at this point in time.

But she knew that Qianqian and Mother Mo had later taken in Man'er, who had escaped from the Zheng family.

After Man'er became a Noble Consort, the Tianxiang Tower in the prefectural city moved to the capital and instantly became the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.

Officially, they run a catering business, but in reality, they are passing on information for Man'er.

The reason why Mo's mother and Qianqian got involved in the murder case at this point in their lives was because Tong Huaqiong's appearance propelled things forward.

After thinking for a while, Tong Huaqiong went out to inquire about the news, with Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e following behind.

She felt that Liu Yue'e was easily swayed by rumors, and that the information she heard might not be true.

The news from outside was indeed different from what Liu Yue'e had heard.

Qianqian's case falls under the category of attempted murder.

The second young master of the Chen family had already been carried to the Chen family. When Tong Huaqiong came out of the hotel, the second young master of the Chen family had already opened his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Tong Huaqiong felt slightly relieved.

For some reason, Tong Huaqiong didn't want anything to happen to Mo's mother, nor did she want Qianqian to perish because of it.

After all, they were Man'er's saviors in her past life.

As long as Young Master Chen Er is alive, Mother Mo and Qianqian will survive.

"That Second Young Master Chen is actually still alive." Liu Yue'e was slightly disappointed.

“Even if he didn’t die, the Chen family will still be in a lot of trouble,” Gu Dashu said.

Gu Dashu resented Chen Er Gongzi for scheming against him, but his feelings for Qianqian were complicated.

Yesterday I was so angry at Qianqian that I was grinding my teeth, but when I heard that she had killed someone, I was filled with sympathy.

Gu Dashu, of course, dared not show any sympathy for Qianqian in front of Liu Yue'e, so he scolded Chen Er Gongzi instead.

Tong Huaqiong took Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e to the Peach Blossom Dessert Shop.

Gu Taohua and Chen Sufeng were already busy in the shop.

Even Man'er and Yaozu were in the shop.

Tong Huaqiong was dissatisfied with Gu Dashu. These past two days, Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e had been arguing, which had ruined a lot of their business.

"This is none of your business. Go to the pesticide shop right away." Tong Huaqiong chased Gu Dashu away with a displeased expression.

At this moment, Hong Xiaoxi ran over and said, "Master, something bad has happened! The yamen runners are coming to arrest someone."

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Dashu.

"Explain yourself, who are you taking?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Hong Xiaoxi said, "Take Brother Dashu."
