Chapter 100: Zhou Mansion (5)
Zhi Hua passed the clothes Lu Sheng stole from the bathroom to Old Master Zhou.
They were the clothes Bi Yu had worn at the mourning hall. Looking at them, Old Zhou felt extremely ironic.
When he saw how sad Bi Yu was, he was afraid that his body would collapse. His heart ached after losing his beloved daughter, and he still had to console him.
He did not expect him to be such an ingrate.
Zhi Hua picked up the doll on the floor and removed the silver needles one by one. When she saw the name on it, tears flowed down her cheeks.
She placed the pouch, the sachet, and the doll together. The embroidery was identical.
“Miss uses a running stich embroidery technique while Xiao Cui uses a back stitch embroidery technique.”
Zhi Shu took out a handkerchief and sobbed. “Miss had sewn this for me on my birthday.”
They had served Zhou Min in her room. However, they were second-class servants while Xiao Cui was first-class.
Xiao Cui could normally use Miss’ things as she had a gentle personality and never fussed over them.
However, they did not dare to. Without Miss’ permission, they would not dare to use it rashly.
“Father, these are all from Xiao Cui. She said that Miner gave them to me!”
Bi Yu’s heart sank. He could not understand why Old Master Zhou, who trusted him so much previously, would suddenly barge in.
Also, how did Zhi Hua get their clothes?
If someone had sneaked in, why did his men not inform him?
That wasn’t right. Logically speaking, with such a large group of people entering, it was impossible for his men not to report it, unless they had met with a mishap.
He had spent a lot of effort to eliminate Zhou Min, and was intending to eliminate Old Master Zhou secretly in a year or two.
When the time came, he would announce to the public that he missed his daughter dearly and thus, left with her.
As for Zhou Ru, he would give her a dowry when she turned sixteen and marry her off to a faraway place. By then, the Zhou family would be his.
He did not expect this to happen. Everything had been going smoothly.
Who had tricked him?
“Haha. Hahaha!”
Xiao Cui, who was initially silent, suddenly burst into laughter after hearing Bi Yu’s second accusation.
She climbed up from the bed shamelessly and went to Bi Yu’s closet to open it. Then, she took out a set of clothes and put them on casually.
Those were women’s clothes. If they had not cohabited for a long time, how could Bi Yu, an unmarried man, have women’s clothes in his wardrobe?
Moreover, the clothes fit Xiao Cui perfectly. They were tailor-made for Xiao Cui.
Bi Yu’s face became even paler. He collapsed onto the ground and stared at Xiao Cui.
She said before that she would never betray him!
Indeed, women should not be trusted.
After putting on her clothes, Xiao Cui walked over. Without even looking at Bi Yu, she looked at Old Master Zhou with a mocking smile.
“Bi Yu has never thought of marrying your eldest daughter. He despised her for being a useless and conservative woman. All he cares about is your Zhou family’s wealth.”
“Nonsense!”
Bi Yu knelt in front of Old Master Zhou and kowtowed a few times. “Father, she’s lying. Miner and I are childhood sweethearts. We’re in love!”
Old Master Zhou closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Then, he lifted his leg and kicked the defenceless Bi Yu to the ground.
Xiao Cui looked indifferently at Bi Yu, who had fallen flat on his back. Seeing him struggle to get up, she did not intend to help him up.
She looked at Old Master Zhou again and smiled. “You’re right. Bi Yu and I collaborated to kill Zhou Min. We fed her the Gelsemium Potion. We even flirted in front of her for hours. We saw how her heart ached but she couldn’t say anything. We watched as her breathing became labored and she suffocated to death.”
Towards the end, she smiled again.
Her laughter went from low to high, and eventually, it became a little deranged.
