Chapter 489 The Liu Family Comes to Kill
Madam Liu looked at Princess Ning with resentment: "The maid who went out with my daughter said that she saw with her own eyes that it was Xiao Qingxi who pushed Nan Shi into the river! Not only did she see it, many people saw it by the river today! There are so many witnesses, it's useless for you to quibble!"
Prince Ning's face turned pale. "Madam Liu, be careful with your words! My daughter was a little impulsive, but she would never kill anyone, let alone your daughter. They have no grudges against each other! You come up and say that my daughter pushed your daughter into the river. You deserve to be killed!"
Madam Liu was so angry that she almost fell down: "How dare you say that I am a ruthless person? It was you who killed my daughter. I am only here to seek justice for her!"
Elder Liu said in a cold voice: "Call them out and we will know the truth! The maid who went out with Nan Shi today was also brought by our Liu family. We dare to confront them face to face, but you don't dare?"
Prince Ning and Princess Ning really didn't dare. Firstly, they were really afraid that their daughter would do something stupid and kill Liu Nanshi. Once confronted, she would be exposed in an instant. Secondly, even if their daughter didn't kill Liu Nanshi, with her stubborn mind and stubborn temper, she might say something murderous.
Therefore, the couple had no intention of asking the two children to come out at all. They could just negotiate with the Liu family themselves. No matter whether their daughter pushed Liu Nanshi or not, it didn't matter if she didn't push him.
As for the witnesses - they must have been mistaken.
Shen Wantang knew her parents-in-law too well. No matter how big a mistake Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi made, they would do their best to protect them.
How could they bear to let their sons and daughters come out to be scolded?
However, they were reluctant to leave, but Shen Wantang had no scruples. She gave Qin Xin who was guarding outside a look, and Qin Xin immediately retreated quietly.
A moment later, Xiao Qingyuan dragged Xiao Qingxi over.
Princess Ning's face darkened: "Who asked you to come? Get out!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face was extremely pale: "Mother, there is such a loud noise here, how could we not hear it? I heard that Elder Liu and Madam Liu wanted to see me, so of course I came. Nan Shi...she was indeed killed by us."
Princess Ning's face suddenly changed: "Qingyuan, what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and get out of here. You little kids have no right to interrupt when adults are talking!"
Prince Ning's expression was extremely ugly. "You bastard, it's already this time and you're still saying such nonsense! If you want to be a hero, go find another place to be a hero!"
Only Xiao Qingxi said to the Liu family with an unconvinced look on his face: "Why did you come to our palace to show off? Do you think I'm afraid of you? I pushed Liu Nanshi into the river, so what? I didn't do it on purpose. Someone pushed me from behind, so I pushed Liu Nanshi accidentally!"
Princess Ning almost fainted. She scolded her daughter harshly, "Qingxi, shut up!"
Prince Ning's eyes also went dark. He said that these two stupid guys should not be asked to confront the Liu family. Before the family even made a move, the two of them confessed everything!
The couple was so angry that they almost vomited blood. The Liu family of five were not much better after hearing these words. They were so angry that their lungs were about to explode!
They never thought that Xiao Qingxi killed Liu Nanshi, and not only did he not apologize, but he was so righteous!
In anger, Madam Liu stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Qingxi by the collar, and slapped her in the face.
Xiao Qingxi had never suffered such a loss before. She screamed, stretched out her nails, and scratched Madam Liu's face fiercely.
Soon, the two men started to fight.
Madam Liu's three sons were afraid that their mother would suffer, so they stepped forward to help. Princess Ning was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she immediately called on the maids and nannies to help.
For a moment, the whole yard was in chaos.
Prince Ning and Lord Liu were proud of their status and refused to join the battle, but the two of them were also at loggerheads and quarreling fiercely.
Of course Shen Wantang couldn't just stand there and watch the fun, so she had to help her mother-in-law.
Only Xiao Qingyuan was there. He seemed to have lost his soul. He stood there blankly, two lines of tears sliding down his face. He seemed to be unable to hear or see anything around him.
I don’t know how long the fight lasted, but both sides in the yard were exhausted and finally they slowly stopped.
Xiao Qingyuan finally came back to his senses. He fell to his knees in front of Elder Liu.
Prince Ning was so angry that his blood almost gushed out: "Xiao Qingyuan, stand up right there! Who allowed you to kneel down to him?!"
Xiao Qingyuan seemed to be unable to hear him. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Liu, I killed Nan Shi. You can kill me or chop me up, I will do whatever you want."
Elder Liu looked at him grimly: "One life for another, my daughter is dead, how dare you live like this?! And Xiao Qingxi, she will also be buried with my daughter!"
Xiao Qingxi, with messy hair and bruised face, immediately jumped up from the ground: "Don't be so shameless, you old man! I've already said that someone pushed me, I pushed Liu Nanshi accidentally! I didn't do it on purpose, she can't swim, can she blame me if she drowned?! She only lost one life, why should I and my brother's life be used to compensate? I think you are just looking for trouble!"
Elder Liu looked at her like a dead person: "Just admit that you pushed Nan Shi, no one can prove whether you did it on purpose or not. Nan Shi is already dead, and everything is up to you! However, killing someone means paying with one's life, it is only natural! The daughter of my Liu family must not die in vain!"
After he finished speaking, he called his wife and three sons and left.
The yard finally became quiet.
No one spoke. Even Xiao Qingxi, who had been so arrogant just now, bit his lip and kept silent.
Xiao Qingyuan was still kneeling on the ground. The Liu family left, and it seemed that they took his soul with them.
Prince Ning glanced at him, then looked away with great disgust.
Princess Ning covered her head with her hands, looking painful. She was able to stand steadily only with the help of Shen Wantang. She had no time to take care of her son and daughter at the moment because her headache had recurred.
After an unknown amount of time, Prince Ning finally spoke, breaking the dead silence in the courtyard: "Qingxi, you said someone pushed you. Who was that person? Is it possible to find that person?"
Xiao Qingxi shook his head: "There were too many people at that time, and I don't know who pushed me."
"Then did the maidservants and nannies around you notice this person?"
"No."
King Ning was very angry: "What a bunch of rubbish! Don't you have eyes when you go out? What if someone plots against you and pushes you into the river? Wouldn't they see anything?"
Seeing that he was angry, Xiao Qingxi didn't dare to say anything.
At that time, all of their attention was on Xiao Qingyuan, waiting to see him lead Shen Wantang onto the bridge and push her off.
Who will pay attention to what's behind them?
She wasn't even sure whether Liu Nanshi was pushed down by her.
After she was pushed, she subconsciously wanted to find something to hold on to, so she pulled Liu Nanshi, who was closest to her.
But the strange thing was that she clearly pulled Liu Nanshi, but she fell directly into the river.
The moment she saw Liu Nanshi fall in, she was stunned.
