After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 255: Li Taohua Kills People to Silence Them

On the other side, after Chen Guifang and others had left, she began to feel uneasy. She secretly opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, so she walked out of the village.

It took them a long time to reach Longshui Town. Li Taohua was a little surprised to see her coming: "Mom, why are you here?"

Chen Guifang patted her chest, glanced at the maid, and pulled her aside: "Taohua, mother is so scared now."

Li Taohua was a little impatient: "It's broad daylight, what's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Guifang said with lingering fear: "I feel like Jiang Xiaohe seems to know something."

As soon as these words came out, Li Taohua paused holding the handkerchief and glanced at the maid: "Go to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of Tremella soup."

The maid bowed slightly, turned and left.

"What did she find out?" Li Taohua asked.

"Mother doesn't know either. It's just that Wu Qiuhe came to our house again today to cause trouble. He brought up what happened between you and Xie Sheng at home that day, saying that there was a lot of noise in our house that night. Who would have thought that those gossipers in the village would bring it up with Xie Sheng? And I didn't expect that Jiang Xiaohe was hiding behind people to watch the fun. She immediately stood up and asked me if it was you who ordered Xie Sheng to kidnap Wang Qiuxia."

"Then you admit it?" Li Taohua asked anxiously.

"How could mother admit it! And didn't you say at the beginning that Xie Sheng climbed over the wall to bully you?"

Li Taohua finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't admit it. She burned her purse when she came back that day. As long as there was no evidence, she was not afraid of anything!

She knew that when Jiang Xiaohe saw the purse that day, she would definitely suspect her.

Slapped himself.

"Hey, Taohua, why are you hitting yourself?"

It was all her fault that she kept the purse because she thought it was pretty, but she didn't expect that it would turn out to be a disaster!

Li Taohua turned to look at Chen Guifang and said reproachfully, "Mom, didn't I tell you to just piss off Wu Qiuhe? Don't really get involved with Zhang Yougen. Now things have gotten out of hand. If the truth comes out, neither we, mother and daughter, will be able to escape!"

Chen Guifang's heart was immediately in a knot, but she murmured cunningly: "How can this be blamed on me?"

"What did you say?"

"I said I got it."

Chen Guifang curled her lips, thinking that she was already old, but her daughter had not enjoyed their love for a few years before her man left. Her best years had been wasted like that. Now that she was finally being nourished, her daughter was blaming her.

If it weren't for her pair of children, how could she have remained a widow at such a young age!

Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Li Taohua took out a tael of silver from her pocket and gave it to her: "Okay, mother, if there is nothing else, you can go back first. I will go back to see you in two days."

Chen Guifang felt a little relieved when she took the silver. When she saw the maid bringing her some Tremella soup, she smacked her lips. She hadn't even had a sip of water on the whole journey.

Li Taohua looked at her with disdain and handed her the Tremella soup: "Eat it and leave quickly."

The maid understood and went back to the kitchen.

After Chen Guifang finished eating, Li Taohua sent her to the backyard gate: "Mom, remember what I told you, don't have anything to do with Zhang Yougen anymore!"

Chen Guifang nodded and asked her, "When are you going to bring mother to live in town?"

Li Taohua's expression changed immediately: "Look at how small the yard is, and how many people are in the house. Where are you going to stay when you come?"

But Chen Guifang was jealous, and then she thought of something and asked her, "I heard that Xie Sheng extorted a lot of money from Jiang Xiaohe. Have you seen it?"

"I've never seen him before." Li Taohua denied it immediately.

"When he came to see me, he was wearing those rags."

Chen Guifang was obviously a little bit unconvinced. After all, not long after Xie Sheng's death, her daughter Taohua was already buying new clothes and headwear from cloth.

Everyone in the village said that it was because her daughter was going to marry into the town and become a lady, and she gave the money to let her dress up, but only she knew that Li Taohua did not ask her for a single copper coin.

At first she thought it was given by the new son-in-law, but now it seems that it may not be the case.

After seeing Chen Guifang off, Li Taohua let out a breath, turned around and closed the door.

As soon as she closed the door, Zhang Qingshan came out from the alley next to her...

Zhang Qingshan was originally planning to return to the shop, catch the carriage, and go back to the village to tell Jiang Xiaohe about this, but he saw Jiang Xiaohe in the shop and hurriedly came up to him: "Madam, I was just saying I would go back to the village to find you."

"I also have something to tell you, so I hurried here."

"What are your orders, madam?"

"Tell me what you have discovered first."

Zhang Qingshan then told the story.

Jiang Xiaohe heard it and said, "Are you sure you heard what that person said, that Xie Sheng went to look for that woman?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded.

"The old woman also asked her if she had ever seen Mr. Xie, who had extorted a lot of money from her. The woman said she hadn't."

It was because he heard the three words "Jiang Xiaohe" that he felt the news was important, so he ran back to tell Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe tapped the table with her fingertips several times, her mind working rapidly.

Li Taohua hated her so much and was always looking for trouble with her. If Xie Sheng had been hooking up with Li Taohua for a long time, then Li Taohua would definitely ask Xie Sheng to cause trouble for her. So she teamed up with outsiders, kidnapped Wang Qiuxia, and extorted money from her.

So after extorting money from her, Xie Sheng would first go to Li Taohua to take credit for it. When taking credit for it, the two of them would applaud for love, and the noise would be so loud that it would be heard by Wu Qiuhe who was standing next to them?

But Li Taohua was clearly holding the purse, so why did she say she had never seen the silver?

And considering the time after Xie Sheng disappeared, Li Taohua soon dressed up beautifully and even wore two silver hairpins on her head!

Chen Guifang is a widow from a farming family and she doesn't do any business. Although her son works away from home, the family probably doesn't have much money at the end of the year. Would she be willing to spend money to buy so many good things for Li Taohua?

She felt strange at the time, but now thinking about it, Li Taohua was spending the money that Xie Sheng had blackmailed her with, so she spent it lavishly. After all, it was not her own money, so she was willing to spend it.

But Xie Sheng is a poor man, a man who is afraid of being poor. Now that he suddenly has so much money, would he be willing to spend so much on Li Taohua?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Could it be that Mr. Xie really likes Li Taohua that much?

But if he likes Li Taohua so much, would he be willing to let Li Taohua marry someone else even if he had to hide?

Isn't this a contradiction?

A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and she grasped the point!

There is another possibility!

That means the two of them did not share the spoils equally!

Li Taohua kills people to silence them!
