Chapter 552 Death
Chapter 552 Death
"Respect? Don't you know what she did?" Mo Chenfeng scolded, "Qing Meng is my adopted son! When Liu repeatedly targeted her, did she ever consider the reputation of Prince Rong's Mansion?!"
"Father! Qingmeng is back! Please let my mother leave the palace! I beg you!" Mo Liuteng knelt down in front of him and burst into tears.
"Sixth brother! Shut up!" Mo Liujin spoke up to stop him.
"Mo Liujin! That's enough! You never opened your mouth when I pleaded for her! You're so quick to defend her! I love you the most, but now it seems like it's all in vain!"
Mo Liuteng was immersed in grief, oblivious to everything. "Chu Qingmeng slaughtered the entire Liu family to vent her anger, and then reported the incident to my mother, which led to her death! If she did it, why wouldn't I tell her?!"
"Shut up! There is no evidence to prove that Qingmeng did it." Although Mo Liujin knew in his heart that Chu Qingmeng was the only one who hated the Liu family so much, he still wanted to protect her.
……
Mo Liujue, who had been sitting silently by the side, gently took the tea beside him and watched this drama. Only the straightforward Sixth Brother believed that the massacre of the entire Liu family was done by Qing Meng. Anyone with a clear mind would know that Qing Meng would not do such a thing.
When the previous emperor passed away, she supported the new emperor to ascend the throne. It was obvious that she could suppress the ministers by killing one or two officials' families, but she chose to use the most troublesome method, threatening the ministers with their family members' personal belongings, and did not kill anyone.
From this, it can be seen that Qing Meng is definitely not someone who likes to implicate innocent people. The Liu family even had a seven-year-old child die tragically. This style of behavior is not her style.
Besides, if she had the absolute ability to kill Aunt Liu, she wouldn't have bothered to torture her so much. After all, she was lazy, and everyone knew it.
It's a pity that the sixth brother is too stubborn to think. The second brother is too confused by the situation. The third brother is just stubborn and thinks it was Qing Meng who did it.
Haha. These three brothers.
Mo Liujue savored the tea in his mouth and gently put down the tea bowl in his hand. Hmm, the new tea supplied this spring tastes good.
Qianqing Palace.
Chu Qingmeng sat on the dragon throne in the main hall and looked at the layout of the entire palace. Mo Yunting sat beside her and pointed out the distribution locations of various palaces to her. The two of them were quite harmonious.
But those who stayed in the palace to serve didn't have to keep wiping their sweat, because this time they finally understood the eldest princess's status.
In contrast, Shuang Cheng was much calmer. He knew his master's abilities best. The layout left by the host back then could have made him emperor! Now it was just the throne, wasn't it? Why couldn't he sit on it?
Outside the palace, Mo Chenfeng ultimately refused to allow Concubine Liu to hold the funeral from the palace. The three of them had no choice but to give up.
According to the rules of Dayu, concubines were not allowed to hold a large mourning hall; the body could only be kept for one day before the funeral. Furthermore, although the three brothers were biologically related, they only had one legal mother, so they could not bring Concubine Liu back to the mansion for the funeral.
At the manor, Aunt Liu was in the side hall of the Fallen Leaf Hall. All the children of the three brothers were present. The three sisters-in-law, with the exception of Chu Qingmeng, were also present. Mu Lingxue was reluctant, but after all, the dead were the greatest, so she had to put in the effort to maintain her appearance.
But she was a princess, so just sitting aside was considered a courtesy to Aunt Liu.
"Mo Liujin, you are the eldest princess and she is so precious. Can't you even do this little bit of superficial work?!" Mo Liuteng's eyes were red from crying today. He was very resentful towards Chu Qingmeng and didn't even call him "third brother".
"Qingmeng has been ill since she returned from the villa. She has been in a coma for several days and only woke up reluctantly when I came out the day before yesterday. I don't know if she can get out of bed now. Do you have to say such harsh words?" Mo Liujin was exhausted physically and mentally these days and really didn't have the energy to argue with him.
"Deserve it!"
"Sixth Uncle! Stop it! My mother has been ill these days and has never left her room. Why are you targeting her with every word you say?!" Mo Jiangqing spoke first and pulled Mo Jiangche to block him behind him.
"Shut up! Go back and stand still!" Mo Liujin glared at Mo Jiangqing and shouted.
Mo Liuyuan was annoyed by the quarrel between the two of them, and naturally he also knew that it would be best if Chu Qingmeng did not show up in today's situation. If he did, Lao Liu would definitely not be content.
"Shut up! Stop arguing! Let our mother go in peace, okay?" Mo Liuyuan's words pierced Mo Liuteng's heart.
Apart from throwing himself in front of the coffin and crying bitterly, he no longer argued.
In the afternoon, Mo Liujue and Mo Liuchen arrived with their eldest sons. Actually, they didn't need to come. After all, they were the legitimate sons and the masters, while Concubine Liu was the servant. Even the people in their father's courtyard were no more noble than them.
Mo Liuyuan and the other two hadn't expected them to come. After the ceremony, Mo Liuchen patted Mo Liujin on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, according to the rules, I can't come. But I came, but not for your sake. I came for Qingmeng's sake. She is my sister first, and then my sister-in-law."
Mo Liujin understood what he meant. He was simply warning him that if he wanted to divorce his wife, he would have to see if his "family" agreed. His words simply clarified their stance: they stood with Qing Meng.
He pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, "Thank you."
