Chapter 1544: Chapter 1543 I Didn’t Do It_1

Today, when she entered the Palace, she also summoned Haifeng, hoping to have Haifeng testify that at least the business opportunity of the seashells didn’t originate from any mythical cornucopia, but in the end, there was no need to use him, so Haifeng accompanied her to the Jiufeng Restaurant.

This was the perfect moment to address the matter since he didn’t know the relationship between the two Yu families; he would deal with the matter fairly and impartially.

Thus, Haifeng led people towards the Yu Residence.

The matter had developed to such an extent that it was no longer just their issue—Qiao Xiaomai wanted to send someone to notify Yang Wenxiao, but thinking of Yang Wenxiao’s age, she decided to keep this idea to herself for the time being.

The recent events had already sapped a great deal of Yang Wenxiao’s energy, so she decided to put this matter aside for now.

When Haifeng, leading people, informed the Yu Residence to summon the man who had appraised the Jiufeng soaring to the heavens on the day Yu Ang received it, Yu Zizhou also came along.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water, which, coupled with the few unruly strands of hair on his forehead, made him look rather intimidating.

At least Qiao Meipan was frightened.

Yu Zizhou also brought Qiao Meipan with him.

Having stayed with animals like the Sun Family and Sun Junyan for too long, Qiao Meipan had long stopped fantasizing about love; she only cared about money and whether she could enjoy wealth and honor.

Now that she was married to Yu Zizhou, she understood in her heart that it was because of Qiao Xiaomai’s influence.

But that didn’t matter. She didn’t care about the process, only the outcome.

She was content being Yu Zizhou’s concubine.

It would be best if she could have another child—preferably a son—then her life’s wealth and honor would be secure.

In the past few days when Yu Zizhou was poisoned, she tended to him at his bedside with great care. Scars had formed on Yu Zizhou’s body and forehead, and when his mood was foul, he would scold her, but she wasn’t irritated or frightened and still approached him with a smile.

As long as Qiao Xiaomai was around, Yu Zizhou would be at odds with Qiao Xiaomai, meaning her own life was not in danger, so she intended to take advantage of this time and try to conceive a child.

Therefore, when she heard about this matter at home just now, she immediately and eagerly wanted to come along.

Yu Zizhou didn’t want to bring her, but seeing how eagerly she raised her hand, he brought her along.

When Qiao Xiaomai saw Qiao Meipan, the corner of her mouth twitched. Before she could speak, Qiao Meipan approached her, calling her Xiaomai and asserting how Yu Zizhou would absolutely not sell the treasures; she pleaded for Qiao Xiaomai to see the truth.

The matter of rebellion involved too much, so Yu Zizhou just said that the treasure had gone missing and should be thoroughly investigated. He said even more to Qiao Meipan, but also did not mention rebellion, only that the people on Qiao Xiaomai’s side were wronging him.

Qiao Xiaomai, seeing Qiao Meipan’s weeping performance, said impatiently, “Stand aside; this has nothing to do with you.”

“How can it have nothing to do with me? This is about my husband; if something happens to him, then I can’t live either.” Qiao Meipan sobbed, clutching her handkerchief.

Bei Yun had finished sampling the dishes by this time and was sitting on the side cracking sunflower seeds. He watched this scene unfold, unable to help himself from clicking his tongue. “Miss Qiao, if the rich folks outside knew this woman was your young aunt, they would hate you even more.”

Considering Qiao Meipan’s appearance, she looked decent enough, but the things she did were not presentable.

Yet this person was precisely Qiao Xiaomai’s own aunt, and the original Qiao Xiaomai was even inferior to her.

To have so much money taken away by such a person, this matter was far from over!

“You relish in others’ misfortune less, and besides, a judgment on this matter has not been made yet. If it turns out after all the investigating that you’ve lied, then you are surely due for another bout of poisoning,” Qiao Xiaomai said with a frown, sounding displeased.
