It seemed that there was really something wrong with this family.
After the servant girl walked past, Chu Qingzhi whispered to Chu Xujin, “Third Brother, I’ll go and follow that servant girl to see what she is up to.”
Chu Xujin was worried. “Fifth Sister, don’t go. I’ll send someone to do it.”
“I don’t trust them. I’ll be back in a while.” In a flash, Chu Qingzhi had already gone to follow the servant girl.
Chu Qingzhi restrained her aura and followed the servant girl…
The servant girl made many turns and came to the rockery in the mansion. She looked like she had lost all hope. After entering the rockery, she walked to the center of the rockery and knelt down.
She was holding a medicine bowl in her hand. When she knelt down, the medicine bowl fell and shattered.
The servant girl was very sad and cried softly. “My son, 1 have avenged you. 1 killed him. Haha, I killed him…”
Chu Qingzhi’s gaze shifted to the small mound in front of the servant girl. Was her child buried there?
She thought for a moment, then stepped out. “Who did you kill?”
The servant girl did not seem surprised. She paused and said, “You followed me?”
Chu Qingzhi sized up the servant girl. She was in her mid-twenties and looked weak. “You look like you are guilty.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve taken my revenge. It doesn’t matter anymore…” The servant girl looked like even if she was going to die the next second, she wouldn’t flinch. “Are you here to kill me?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “I don’t have any intention of killing you. I only came here to see what happened and if it has anything to do with the case we’re investigating.”
The servant girl did not speak.
Chu Qingzhi continued, “Who did you say you killed just now?”
The servant girl’s tone was relaxed and relieved. “I killed Tao Pengnan. Who else could it be?”
Dead? Then wouldn’t the clues be cut off again? Chu Qingzhi asked, “Why did you kill him?”
The servant girl turned her head slightly to look at Chu Qingzhi. Instead of answering, she asked, “Do you know what kind of place the Tao mansion is?” “I’ve never been to the Tao mansion, so I naturally don’t know.” Chu Qingzhi was a little curious. What secrets were the Tao family hiding?
Hatred and disgust appeared on the servant girl’s face. She gritted her teeth and said, “This Tao mansion is Tao Pengnan’s harem!!!”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless…
She thought that there was a huge secret, but the result was a little disappointing.
The servant girl said slowly, “Tao Pengnan and his father took a fancy to a woman from a brothel at the same time. They fought tooth and nail for this woman. In the end, this disgusting father and son even reached an agreement.” Chu Qingzhi frowned slightly as she listened.
“The father and son actually agreed to sleep with the woman each for a night.”
“At first, this woman didn’t know that they were father and son, nor did she know that they had reached such an agreement. Until one day, this woman was pregnant.”
“The woman told the father and son the news at the same time. In the end, the father said that he wanted to bring the woman home. The son had a wife at home, so he was naturally unwilling. However, this woman still became Tao Pengnan’s stepmother.”
Chu Qingzhi touched her chest, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“The woman only found out the truth after entering the Tao mansion. But now that she has a child, she just wants to live in peace.”
“Unexpectedly, Tao Pengnan wouldn’t let her have an easy time. While his father went out to inspect the shops, he snuck into the woman’s room and forced her.”
“The woman struggled with all her might and had a miscarriage in the end, unfortunately.”
“After Tao Pengnan’s father came back and found out about the matter, not only did he not blame Tao Pengnan, he even blamed the woman for deliberately seducing his son.”
“Not long after, Tao Pengnan’s father died suddenly. His death was extremely tragic.”
“Do you know?”
“1 drugged him, tied up his limbs, and cut off his precious thing. I felt extremely satisfied when I saw the blood flowing out of his body. I took delight in looking at his pale face and painful expression.”
“Now it’s Tao Pengnan’s turn.”
“This Tao Pengnan is even more disgusting. Not only does he not feel that he did anything wrong, but he also has a twisted mind when he forces me.”
“He liked to force women. All the servant girls in the mansion became his targets. Even his father’s concubines could not escape it…”
“Just now, he said that he wanted to take a pill. I don’t know who gave him that pill, but he said that after taking it, he could fake his death.”
“He told me to dig him out of the grave after he faked his death and held a funeral for him. I agreed readily.”
“Hahaha, hahaha…” The servant girl laughed madly. “I’ve already swapped that pill. He’s already dead.”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless…
This was bad. Not that Tao Pengnan was really dead, this case would be much harder to solve.
“Miss, do you know why he wanted to fake his death?”
The servant girl stopped laughing and started crying again. After a while, she calmed down. “How would I know why he wanted to fake his death? However, there are often people flying in and out of the house. You can go to his study to take a look.”
This was a clue. Chu Qingzhi said, “If you want to leave, go. 1 won’t tell anyone what you said just now.”
The servant girl was stunned and extremely surprised. “Thank you, Miss, but I won’t leave. My son is still here.”
“Take care.” With that, Chu Qingzhi left.
Not long after she left, the servant girl committed suicide.
On the other side, Ge Lihua had the Tao family under control with the constables.
In the main hall, women were kneeling on the ground. Almost half of the women were pregnant, and the women who were not pregnant were kneeling with one or two children. Under the night sky, this scene was extremely strange.
Ge Lihua looked around and asked, “Is everyone in the Tao mansion here?”
The group of women were trembling in fear. No one dared to answer.
The old man kneeling at the back answered, “Yes.”
Ge Lihua’s expression was very dark. She was already cold, and now, she looked even colder. “Why are there so many women in the mansion?”
The old man replied softly, “They’re all Young Master’s concubines.”
Ge Lihua was furious and kicked the old man. “Nonsense. There are so many women. How is that possible?”
The old man was already in his fifties or sixties. It took him a while to recover from the kick. “Sir, I’m telling the truth
