One hundred and eight · stingy

  Song Chengnu stood in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, listening carefully to what Cui Ying Shu had said, nodded and asked: "Since you've found Lian Hui and that midwife, do you think they can be brought here for me to ask a few questions?"

  It's not that he doesn't trust Choi Yeong-soo, on the contrary, he completely believes in Choi Yeong-soo's character and ability. However, he also knows Lee Roh-joon's nature too well, if there isn't conclusive evidence, they will never admit it.

  But if he had to choose between Li's family and Cui's family, he would undoubtedly choose Cui's family.

  Just then someone came to report that Li's family had arrived, Cui Yingxu glanced at Old Master Song and smiled: "Since everyone is here, let's make things clear. Old Master, why not have them take a look at these witnesses together?"

  Mr. Song understood what Cui Yingxu meant and did not raise any objections.

  If what happened to Cui Tingting was indeed done by the Li family, they should give an explanation. In order to frame their family's servant girl, they dared to bribe the midwife to kill Song's daughter-in-law. What kind of intention is this? Moreover, since they dare to move against the Cui family, it's possible that in the future they won't hesitate to harm other members of the Song family.

  Old Master Song nodded and ordered someone to go inform Old Mistress Song.

  Mrs. Li did not expect her daughter to be suddenly accused, and she was shocked by the sight of her being treated so roughly. She immediately stood up and rushed a few steps forward to hug her daughter, coldly staring at Mrs. Song: "How can you convict someone without even investigating clearly?! This hasn't even gone through trial yet, how can you treat my daughter like a criminal and torture her into this state?! Auntie-in-law, the Cui family is your relative, are we Li's not relatives too?! You're being so biased, it's unreasonable!"

  Li had already thrown herself into Mrs. Li's arms, crying so hard she could hardly breathe, and tugged at Mrs. Song's sleeve, wailing: "Father, mother, save me! I'm going to be wronged to death!"

  Mr. Li turned his head to look at Mr. Song and asked solemnly, "Brother-in-law, why did you say my daughter hired someone to kill? She's just a lady who stays indoors, never leaving the house, where would she get such ability? If there's something going on, let's talk it out properly, what's with secretly detaining people and beating them up? Is this how our family does things?"

  Mrs. Song gazed at Mrs. Li with a heavy heart, thinking to herself: "The Cui family has evidence in hand and witnesses too, yet the Li family still dares to be so arrogant - it's really unclear whether they're truly innocent or just accustomed to biting back."

  From start to finish, it seemed as if the Li family hadn't seen Cui Ying and her husband at all, without even a greeting.

  Mrs. Choi only felt that it was no wonder that Li's family could grow up with such a vicious heart, and with parents who couldn't tell right from wrong, it was only natural to raise someone like this.

  She clapped her hands and immediately someone dragged in a woman in her fifties.

  Seeing that person, Mrs. Li frowned and reflexively looked at her mother-in-law.

  Mrs. Li was even more frightened, as if she had seen a ghost, and suddenly stared wide-eyed, hugging her daughter and losing her balance, falling to the ground.

  Isn't it just about investigating who hired the killer? Why did this woman get caught?!

  Li noticed that her mother was not feeling well and also poked her head out to look, when she saw Zheng Baba, she quickly hid behind, wishing she could hide in Li Lao's arms and disappear completely.

  She only reacted now that she hadn't told her mother yet that the Cui family came to investigate Cui Tingting's death, and quickly pulled Li Lao Tai's sleeve to tell her: "Mother, they...they are here for the Cui family" She said, her voice trembling.

  Mrs. Li immediately shifted her gaze to Mrs. Cui and Cui Ying-shu, staring at them with a venomous glare for a while before turning to look at Old Lady Song, almost shouting in a stern tone: "This is really strange! When the Cuis died, our Jing-yu hadn't even entered their household yet, so how can you now say that our daughter harmed the Cuis?! Can people just spout nonsense like this?! If such words are spoken, how will my daughter be able to live with dignity in the future? How will my granddaughter be able to stand up for herself and interact with her sisters?! I knew the Cui family had always been resentful of my daughter marrying into the Song family, but I never thought you'd be so vicious, actually trying to frame and slander my daughter with such despicable tactics!"

  Although she was looking at Old Lady Song, every word and sentence was clearly saying that the Cui family had ulterior motives and deliberately bribed the midwife to frame Li.

  Song Chuyi silently curled up the corner of her mouth behind Mrs. Cui-----This old lady Li is as always sharp-tongued, able to turn black into white and white into black. With just a few short sentences, she pushed the Cui family into the position of intentionally causing trouble.

  Unfortunately, although she was thin-skinned, Mrs. Cui was not easy to mess with either. She immediately stood up and fiercely pointed at the midwife, asking: "Someone said we bribed you to frame people, you yourself say, who exactly bribed you to harm others?"

  Zheng Pozi was already frightened out of her wits, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately pointed at the old nun who was following Li Lao Tai Tai: "It's her, it's her who gave me 50 taels of silver to interfere with the birth when I was helping the mistress give birth."

  Mrs. Li sneered, looking at Mrs. Cui with no fear at all, with a very majestic demeanor: "It's been so long since the incident passed, and there's no evidence to prove otherwise, of course you can say whatever you want."

  This old lady Li is harsh and cruel in her words, always being oily and salty. Mrs. Cui was already furious at her shameless remarks and took over the conversation: "What are we saying?! From start to finish, we didn't say anything, it's all you who spoke!"

  Mr. Li coughed with his hands rolled up, not looking at Cui Ying Shu or Mrs. Song, but turned to look at Mr. Song and said: "Just one midwife, how can her words be trusted? Can it be that just because of this person, you have determined that my daughter has done such a beastly thing?"

  Song Chuyu, who was standing outside the hall, waved her hand, and Xu Niangniang led people to bring Li Gui and others from Lijiazhuangzi together with Lin Ying and Ye Jingchuan into the flower hall.

  Mr. Li didn't know the others, but he did recognize Li Gui, and suddenly looked at his wife and daughter with suspicion.

  "Midwife, you can say we bought them off." Song Chuyi pointed at those people for Old Lady Li to see, her voice was flat and without any ups and downs: "But what about Li Gui? He's been following your family for nearly twenty years, can he also be bought off by us?"

  Mrs. Li pushed away her hand and stood up with the support of Mr. Li, severely scolding: "When adults are talking, where is the reason for children to interrupt?! Your mother has been good to you all these years, how can you join others to slander her?!"
