The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 172 The support is too obvious
Mrs. Shen was really furious. She had heard before that the Qi family, in order to vent their anger on their daughter, spread the stigma that Lang Jiuchuan was a jinx. She and Shen Qinghe were both very angry. Old Shen even reported this to Qi Zuyao.

Later, the Qi family brought disaster upon themselves, and the little girl brought disaster upon herself. After hearing about it, she didn't feel happy, but felt that cause and effect would eventually prevail.

Now another one has come, and this one is going to beat Lang Jiuchuan to death with the stigma of being a jinx.

After all, it was true that Qi Xinyu and Lang Jiuchuan did not get along, and Qi Minjun had only a small conflict with them, but he died that day. It was weird no matter how you looked at it. If the news spread, even those who did not believe it would believe it.

How could people be so evil? Lang Jiuchuan didn't offend anyone. She had only been back in Wujing for two or three months.

What Mrs. Shen thought of was also thought of by Cui. Her face turned pale and she subconsciously looked at Lang Jiuchuan beside her, but was stunned.

Lang Jiuchuan stood there without saying a word, without any reaction, and didn't care at all, as if what the other party said was not her at all, she was open and frank, without any inferiority or cowardice.

What kind of experience must a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage have gone through to develop such a strong character?
Cui's heart ached and her face turned paler. She didn't dare to look at her again, as if the more she looked at her, the more despicable she would appear.

Madam Qi Er said, "I just want to know what Miss Langjiu knew last night?"

Madam Shen wanted to say more, but Lang Jiuchuan pressed her arm, took two steps forward, and said, "I am weak, so I went to the Mahavira Hall in the middle of the night to worship Buddha and pray for Buddha to bless me with good health. Is this wrong?"

Jiang Che said: "There is a god above your head. Buddhism is a very important place. Don't be so fake. People don't know, but the gods know."

It's obvious that they are going there to collect incense and offerings, why are they talking about worshiping Buddha?
Lang Jiuchuan retorted: "Xiao Jiuta is the one who got it, it's me who got it, it's good for me and you, and for everyone, why can't we be healthy?"

Muyu: “That’s true!”

General: “…”

Two to one, that's outrageous.

"What happened?" Old Madam Pei appeared in everyone's sight holding her maid's hand.

The Pei family comes from an aristocratic family, and Madam Pei is also a second-rank imperial official. That’s not all, she is also the biological mother of the eldest lady of the Gong family. Pei Yushang married into the direct line of the Gong family, so the Pei family is considered a true relative of the Xuan clan, and no one dares to underestimate them, let alone be presumptuous.

After all, that is the Gong family, which ranks second among the Xuan clan.

Madam Qi also unconsciously restrained her aura and bowed: "Madam Pei, I am here to ask about Miss Lang's death because of my niece's unfortunate death."

Madam Pei let go of the maid's hand and waved to Lang Jiuchuan: "Little Jiuniang, come over and help me."

Lang Jiuchuan hesitated for a moment, walked over, and held Madam Pei's hands with both hands.

Everyone's face changed drastically: "..."

This support is too obvious.

Madam Pei looked at Cui and said, "You have been a widow for many years and you don't want to socialize. That's why people have forgotten your origins and who your husband is. Once you are forgotten by everyone, anyone will bully you as an orphan and a widow, and bully you because you are weak. You failed to protect your child and let her be abused. This is your fault. Go back and reflect on what it means to be a strong mother. Don't just reminisce about the past, which will make people look down on you. Otherwise, I will report you to your mother in the underworld."

These words seemed to be a scolding of Cui, but they were also a form of protection and support, and they were also telling everyone about her relationship with Cui's mother and daughter.

After she mentioned it, everyone remembered that, yes, Madam Pei and Cui's biological mother were sworn brothers, so Cui and Madam Gong were also like sisters.

She is a widow who has been widowed for many years, but she is not without any connections.

Cui bowed to Old Madam Pei and said, "I will follow my aunt's instructions."

Mrs. Pei then looked at the Second Lady of the Qi family and said, "What did you say just now? I'm old and a little hard of hearing. What do you want to ask Little Nine Lady?" The Second Lady of the Qi family's face twitched. She was about to say something, but her face was numb from being slapped.

Grandma Pei San asked, "Grandmother, I think you are talking about Miss Qi Si? Didn't I hear that the girl died in a strange way, as if she was harmed by an evil spirit?"

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.

Madam Qi's expression changed drastically. If this got out, it would be worse than being poisoned.

Madam Pei glanced at her in disapproval, and then said to Madam Qi Er: "Everyone feels sad when a good child is killed. You should accept my condolences. But her sudden murder is also strange. We must investigate it thoroughly. No matter whether the murderer is a human or an evil spirit, we will give the child an explanation."

Madam Qi immediately walked down the stairs, wiped her eyes, and said, "What Madam Pei said is right. We were too anxious. This child is also very much loved by the Imperial Concubine. When she heard that she was in trouble, she fainted all of a sudden. It just so happened that the Imperial Family was with the Imperial Concubine, so they sent the eunuchs and the imperial guards to investigate thoroughly."

Madam Pei nodded: "Then you should be more relieved. The truth will come out one day. Believing in lies will not solve the problem, and it will not let the child rest in peace. Don't you think so?"

This is another veiled warning.

Madam Qi Er pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Yes, I was anxious because I knew that Miss Nine was walking around in the middle of the night. Maybe she knew something, so I came to ask."

"Grandma, you see, this is how the misunderstanding came about. If we didn't explain clearly to this large group of people, people would think we were here to call for punishment." Grandma Pei San laughed sweetly, "It's better to explain it clearly now."

Mrs. Pei glared at her.

Madam Qi couldn't stay any longer and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore."

Just as she was about to leave, Madam Shen said, "What do you mean by jinx? I hope it was just unintentional. You are all people with daughters at home, so you should be more virtuous."

Everyone's face turned green and they hurriedly bowed and left.

Old Madam Pei shook her head slightly, motioning Lang Jiuchuan and the others to follow her into the meditation room to talk.

Grandma Pei San winked at Lang Jiuchuan, took over her work, and helped the old lady in.

"Go, don't be afraid, everyone will take care of everything for you." Mrs. Shen patted her arm.

Cui glanced at her and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Jiang Che said to Lang Jiuchuan who was standing there stupidly: "How is it? Doesn't it feel heartwarming to be protected? You are not alone."

Lang Jiuchuan was indeed a little surprised. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "It seems like there are more and more bonds."

After entering the meditation room, Madam Pei took the tea handed over by the maid and took a sip. She asked everyone to leave before saying to Lang Jiuchuan, "A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. Don't be afraid, Jiuniang. The Qi family is powerful, but they are not so powerful that they can cover the sky with one hand. They want to put the blame on you. Let's see if they have the guts to do so."

Lang Jiuchuan hummed: "Actually, if you really ask me, I can answer a few questions."

"Ok?"

"I was the first person to discover that Fourth Miss Qi was dead."

Bang, bang.

Madam Pei and the others were so shocked that their hands trembled, their teacups fell to the ground, and they stared at Lang Jiuchuan in astonishment.

What, you are really not innocent and are involved in this matter?
