The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 78

At a glance, Huixiang saw the bandages wrapped around Qingyan's head. She studied the bandages and asked in concern, "Miss, were you bullied? Why suddenly the bandages?"

Qingdai complained in a scornful tone, "It's that second madam. This morning, she came to miss's yard, going crazy and suddenly throwing rocks at our miss."

Qingyan touched the wound on her forehead and looked to Qingdai, retorting, "Qingdai, it's not as serious as you say it is. Second aunt didn't mean to hit me."

Huixiang brought Qingyan with her to Meixiang yard, and along the way, she explained the situation thus far to Qingyan.

In her heart, Qingyan very well knew what had happened. After all, she was there to witness such an erotic scene, but wasn't this exactly the result Ning Siyao wanted?

She was merely adding fuel to the fire, pushing along the waves, what fault did she have?

Qingdai followed behind Qingyan, pulling Wei mama along. When Qingyan got to the yard, she saw Su Jiashi sitting at the main seat, very dignified. And next to her was the sound of Ning Siyao crying, along with Su Ming and Su Yan's voice, criticizing Qingyan. However, she wasn't the slightest bit concern over any of this.

"Yan'er is here to greet grandmother." Qingyan faced Su Jiashi with a formal bow.

"How dare you, you ingrate! Hurry up and kneel down! Return my Yuan'er's innocence!" Before Su Jiashi could even speak, Su Ming's harsh cold voice had already sounded.

Qingyan looked up to glance at Su Ming and spoke with a smile, "Second uncle, and exactly what is Qingyan guilty of?"

Su Yan pointed directly to Qingyan, cursing in a rage, "You dare to set up Qingyuan, more than guilty!"

"Oh?" Qingyan raised a brow, "When did I ever harmed big sister?"

"You little lowlife, why haven't you knelt yet?" Su Ming originally wanted to give Qingyan a kick, but Qingyan managed to avoid it in time.

"Since second uncle says I've done something wrong, then you need to bring out some evidence, else I'm afraid, it's difficult to convince the crowd." Qingyan faced Su Ming with a warm smile on her face. "Furthermore, Qingyan doesn't know what crime Qingyan's guilty of either?"

"Enough!" Su Jiashi looked to Su Ming, who was just about to say something, and berated in a cold voice. When she looked to Qingyan, there was also an inquisitive look in her eyes, "Yan'er, now that something like this happened to your big sister, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Qingyan pretended to not understand what Su Jiashi meant by those words and tilted her head to Su Qingyuan, who was on the ground, "Just what happened to big sister? Qingyan doesn't know, I do hope grandmother can inform me."

Ning Siyao pointed to Qingyan, angrily cursing, "This little wench, it's all your fault that my Yuan'er has become like this. How dare you still make excuses here!"

Su Jiashi looked to Qingyan and stomped her cane, "Yan'er, now that it has come to this, you still won't admit to it?"

Qingyan smiled, "Grandmother, why do I need to admit to something I've never done?"

Su Jiashi studied Qingyan's expression and then looked to Qingdai, who was standing to the side, coldly asking, "Qingdai, did your miss ever go out yesterday?"

Qingdai turned to Su Jiashi and shook her head, "Did miss go out? Old madam, where are these words coming from? Miss was staying in her yard the whole time, never once going out."

The old madam once again casted her gaze onto Su Qingyan, but she could feel the stern air coming from Qingyan's body. She certainly didn't seem like someone who would do something like this.

At that moment, she finally noticed the bloodstained gauze on Qingyan's forehead that was already bleeding through. Looking at Qingyan, she thought of her attitude just now, "Yan'er, where did the bloodstain on your head come from?"

Before Qingyan could even speak, Qingdai had already began crying out her complaint, "Who else besides the second madam would do this? Just when miss was preparing to have breakfast this morning, she was hit by the second madam with rocks. But miss didn't even know what had happened..."

"Qingdai!" Qingyan interrupted Qingdai in a cold tone, "How can you say such worrisome thing for grandmother to hear."

Qingdai pursed her lips, yet she didn't continue with what she was just saying.

Su Jiashi looked to the bloodstain on Qingyan's head, "Does the wound on your head still hurt?"

Qingyan shook her head, "Don't worry grandmother, it doesn't hurt anymore."

She glance to Su Qingyuan and spoke in grievance, "I wonder if grandmother could tell me the truth of the situation, else Qingyan wouldn't even know who to cry to when I'm wronged."

Ning Siyao could feel the pain of her nails digging into her skin. She wholeheartedly wanted Su Jiashi to help stand for her, but at last, why did the situation become like this?

Su Jiashi turned to Ning Siyao, who was kneeling on the ground, "Siyao, why don't you explain to Qingyan what happened."

Only now, did Ning Siyao learn what it means to smash your own foot with a rock.

And these bitter tears, she had no choice but to swallow.

She could only recount everything that had happened thus far. Although what she said was in line with the facts, in the end, no one really knew exactly what happened in Yuanxin yard.

After Qingyan finished listening, she cheerfully smiled, "Since that's the case, why does second aunt insist I'm the one that did this to big sister?"

Although Ning Siyao knew in her heart that Su Qingyan was responsible, what else could she say at this time. She could only watch as her daughter bear this kind of suffering.

"Grandmother, yesterday I was in my room the whole time, never taking even a single step out, yet now second uncle and third uncle all wrongly accuse me of such." She took out the dagger she prepared beforehand, "Looks like now, I can only prove my innocence with my death." With that said, she placed the dagger up to her neck.

Evidently, Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun never thought that Su Qingyan would pull something like this, moreover that was an actual dagger. If Qingyan really were to just die like this before them, later when Su Yun returned, they wouldn't know what to say either.

"Grandmother, if one day father and mother returns, tell them Qingyan was unfilial, unable to pay my respect to them anymore." As she said that, she stabbed the blade into her chest, "Grandmother, if you are still unwilling to believe Qingyan even now, then I don't have anything more to say either."

Su Jiashi never thought that Qingyan's character would be this unyielding and resolute. Seeing the fresh blood gushing out from her chest, Su Jiashi loudly yelled out to Huixiang, "Quickly go get the doctor!"

"Grandmother, Qingyan is unfilial." With that said, Qingyan slowly collapse onto the ground.

Su Ming and Su Yan never thought that Qingyan would do this either. He was beginning to think that Ning Siyao most likely wasn't telling him the whole truth, that's why the situation developed like this.

Seeing Qingyan collapse onto the ground, Su Jiashi didn't have the time to worry about Ning Siyao. She could only ponder as someone placed Qingyan onto the bed, hoping at a time like this nothing bad will happen to Qingyan.

If anything were to happen to Qingyan at a time like this, how was she going to face her son, her elder sister, and the entire Piaoji General manor.

As for the doctor, Qingyan had already arranged beforehand for Chonglou to come. Chonglou looked to the young girl lying on the bed, helplessly shaking his head, "If his Highness, Shizi, were to find out, who knows what kind of scene that will be."

But perhaps, even Murong Jingxuan wouldn't know how to deal with this person before him either. Furthermore, she was unwilling to die at a time like this, and sometimes, betting one's own life, wasn't such a bad idea.
