Chapter 1092 Meng Yunzheng in the Prison

Upon seeing this, Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Since Lord Jing had gotten straight to the point, Shu Yu didn't mince words and asked directly, "Yes, may I ask Lord Jing, where is he now, and what happened to the Gong family?"

Lord Jing asked her to sit down, then took a sip of his tea. After hesitating for a moment, he asked her in a low voice, "Have you been to the Gong family?"

Shu Yu shook her head, "I haven't been there. I just took a detour that way yesterday and saw it when I passed by the Gong family's gate..."

"Did you see the white cloth hanging outside the Gong family's gate?"

Shu Yu nodded. "Who in the Gong family has had an accident?"

"The second young master of the Gong family," Lord Jing put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and asked, "He should have told you about the Gong family, right?"

The "he" here refers to Meng Yunzheng.

Shu Yu nodded, relieved to know that he wasn't the one who had the accident.

The second young master of the Gong family was the son of Gong Qiu's concubine. However, since Madam Gong had no children, this illegitimate son was given to her to raise, and thus he was also considered the legitimate son of the Gong family.

Before Meng Yunzheng was recognized and returned to the Gong family, he was the eldest young master of the Gong family.

However, this second young master was frail and sickly, and in Gong Qiu's eyes, he was a son who might die at any moment.

That's why Gong Qiu risked bringing Meng Yunzheng back to the Gong family. At least this son is healthy, even though he's not very alert because he inhaled too much smoke in the fire.

It's unbelievable that the second young master of the Gong family, after holding on for so many years, still passed away in the end.

But Shu Yu had no sympathy for him. She learned a lot about the Gong family from Zhao Xi, and that the second young master and Madam Gong had conspired to frame Meng Yunzheng.

He even became mentally distorted because of his illness, and showed signs of taking advantage of his illness to commit crimes, using extremely low-class methods.

Even if they die, they deserve it.

However, what Lord Jing said next completely stunned Shu Yu.

He said, "The murderer is Gong Xiao."

Gong Xiao is Meng Yunzheng's name in the Gong family.

Shu Yu suddenly raised her head and denied it almost immediately with unwavering certainty, "Impossible."

It wasn't that she thought Meng Yunzheng wouldn't act; his ruthless methods—gouging out Zhang Shu's eyes and cutting out his tongue—showed he wasn't a kind-hearted person. He had no feelings for the Second Young Master Gong who had framed him; taking his life wouldn't be a burden for him at all.

Shu Yu said it was impossible because she felt that even if Meng Yunzheng did something, he would definitely not let anyone find out, especially at such a critical juncture.

Lord Jing scrutinized Shu Yu for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “You’re right, it’s indeed impossible. He didn’t kill the person, but he deliberately made people think he did.”

Shu Yu frowned. "Where is he now?"

"The prison of the Dali Temple".

Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and her grip on the cup tightened slightly.

After a long pause, she looked up and asked with a serious expression, "Could I see him?"

Lord Jing seemed to be considering it, but his expression was relaxed and carefree, as if it were not a difficult problem.

Sure enough, he quickly nodded. "You can go see him. Tomorrow morning, dress up as my attendant and come with me to the Dali Temple."

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then thank you very much, Lord Jing."

Lord Jing waved his hand, indicating that he had other matters to attend to and could not stay at home any longer. He met with Shu Yu briefly, gave her some instructions, and then left.
