Chapter 251 The Truth Comes to Light

"Why is it him?"

"No matter how big the conflict is among our family, you can't do this."

"I didn't expect it was done by one of our family members."

Sun Jiusheng glanced at Li Mumu, nodded slightly, and then went to inquire about the case.

Now he was asking Jiang Xinyue, because she was the only one left alive by the Pei family.

"Oh my God, I'm just a middle-aged woman. My children and husband are dead. How am I going to live in the future?"

"I just heard that the drug she was given was too little. Is it because Pei's eldest son couldn't bear to see his mother die?"

"Nonsense, if you really don't want her to die, then don't give her the drug. Now you have no money and no one to help you. Isn't living worse than dying?"

Li Mumu wanted to say that Pei Yuanqing’s move was really cruel.

"Pei's eldest son's child was just born. Thanks to the divorce, Miss Lan'er isn't sad, but this child..."

"What's wrong with the child? Can't the Gu family afford to raise a child? Look at how well those children are raised."

"It would be disgusting enough for the child to know that he has such a father."

Old Man Qin Ling took a deep breath. "This Jiang family is such a piece of shit! They even falsely accused you. It's a good thing Mumu was so smart. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have taken to find the person."

If Pei Yuanqing is buried in a few days, or his body is completely disfigured, it will be even more difficult.

Zhang Yi was worried about his daughter being home alone, "I'm going to go back and see Lan'er."

Gu Lan knew that all the members of the Pei family had died last night.

This is not something that can be concealed, and they have no intention of hiding it.

Now that the murderer has been caught, Zhang Yi also wants to let his daughter know.

Li Mumu also yawned at this time. Although she took a nap last night, she didn't sleep well.

Children need to sleep ten hours a day, and she doesn't even get half of that.

"I'll go back too." Gu Yuru said softly.

"You all go back and rest, I'm here." Gu Mingyu said.

He didn't want to watch the fun, but it would be convenient if the county magistrate had something to ask.

Li Mumu entered Gu Lan's room under the pretext of visiting her little nephew.

Gu Lan didn't look like he had slept well either, so he put the little guy down after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

"The murderer has been found." Zhang Yi said as soon as he entered the door.

Gu Lan nodded. "That's good. I was really worried that our family would be suspected."

Zhang Yi shook his head, "Thanks to Mumu..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Lan asked again, "Is it Pei Yuanqing?"

Zhang Yi paused, "How do you know?"

"I didn't know at first, but last night I heard something happened to the Pei family. Then I thought about how unusual he was when he came yesterday, and I felt it was very likely him."

"After all, the Pei family has only been here for a short time and they don't have any grudges with anyone. Even if there's just a small disagreement, they wouldn't resort to such harsh measures." Gu Lan sighed, "Yesterday he said something about the child growing up, as if he was giving instructions."

She sighed, "I wonder if he wouldn't have behaved like this if I hadn't been so cold to him yesterday."

What Li Mumu was afraid of was that Gu Lan would blame himself.

"Cousin, he wanted to do this on his own. You didn't ask him to do it. You even let him look after the child."

Zhang Yi also nodded. "Yes, Lan'er, you are right. Pei Yuanqing must have come to his senses. He has seen the true face of Jiang Shi and realized that he has missed you and there is no possibility of reconciliation. He is completely desperate."

"But don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. It's his fault."

Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's his fault."

Although it is impossible to get back together, if he really is a prodigal son, his cousin should not prevent him from having contact with the child.

After being comforted by the two people, Gu Lan finally understood that he had originally felt that it was a pity to lose so many lives.

By noon, the truth had been revealed.

There are many speculations about why Jiang Xinyue also had arsenic in her body, but not in a lethal dose.

But Li Mumu felt that it was just as she thought.

Pei Yuanqing wanted her to live and endure the pain of losing her children, in order to avenge the years of being teased and deceived.

Now that the truth was out, the county magistrate and the bailiffs all left.

Jiang Xinyue refused to accept this fact and went crazy for a while. Then she beat Pei Yuanqing's body hard, shouting for revenge.

Old Master Qin sighed, but didn't stop him from beating him. However, after understanding the situation, he felt that Jiang deserved it.

If Pei Yuanqing had not been so calculating, he would not have been so ruthless.

There are several corpses lying here, and it doesn't look good.

Jiang is just a woman, and she's a little crazy. We can't rely on her.

So Qin Ling asked the men in the village to dig a hole and bury the body so that it could rest in peace as soon as possible.

As for Jiang, let her fend for herself.

No one wants to care about her because she has done so many evil things.

As the weather warmed up and the land thawed, it was quick to dig a few large holes, and soon everyone was buried.

Jiang Xinyue came to the door of Gu's house and made a scene, but no one paid any attention to her.

She kicked and hit the door, and spat when she got tired, but the Gu family still refused to come forward.

Later she went crazy and went somewhere else in a daze. No one cared about her. She kept muttering to herself, but no one knew what she was saying.

Later, she became even crazier.

In the evening, Gu Mingyu, who had not slept all night, finally had enough rest.

As a grown man, he only needs two hours of sleep. When he led troops in battle, he sometimes stayed up all night and continued to fight.

At the dinner table, the Gu family members were not very happy about the annihilation of the Pei family. To them, they were just insignificant people.

Live if you live, and die if you die.

"The county magistrate praised you to me, saying you were smart. Your words saved him a lot of trouble. And if you hadn't mentioned it, the murderer might not have been caught."

Li Mumu smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually."

"Don't be so modest. The county magistrate praised you a lot and said that you can go see him when you go to the county town."

"Does he know me?" Li Mumu asked curiously.

"He doesn't know you, but he heard about you from the prefect. You are the prefect's goddaughter."

Li Mumu slapped her forehead suddenly, "If you don't talk about this, I would have forgotten. It's almost time to go see Sister Nie."

The prefect also took good care of them, and the Gu family was very grateful.

"Treatment is more important. Will you let your uncle accompany you tomorrow?"

Why is it Gu Mingjing? Because he is the only one who is not married.

Gu Mingtang wants to help his wife open a shop.

But he wanted to take care of his grandson, so how could he bear to be separated from him?

Gu Mingjing didn't refuse, "Okay, leave Mumu to me, don't worry."

"Can... I go?" Xie Xun asked in a low voice.

Gu Mingjing smiled and said, "Why not? Anyone who wants to go can go as long as they obey."
