Chapter 397 Explosion

“It is said that my aunt was heartbroken because my uncle died in battle, and she moved to the temple to worship Buddha and practice Buddhism in order to pray for my cousin, the Crown Prince, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

But who would have thought that there was a temple in front of the temple and a paradise behind it, and she lived a fairy-like life in that paradise.

When her grandmother brought people over, she was drinking wine and eating hot pot with Cha Yao, looking very comfortable.

And it was she who tricked my grandmother into giving her money to build the temple, which made my grandmother so angry that she almost vomited blood."

It's really heartbreaking for my grandmother.

Jingzhe was full of anger.

"Right now, both of them are being tied up in the temple by my grandmother. My grandmother said that although this matter is shameful, she does not intend to cover it up and will eventually drag them both to the government office.

However, before going to the government office, she wanted to first interrogate her aunt and investigate whether she was responsible for the death of the Crown Prince's cousin.

Wei Qingyan's brows were tightly knitted.

The scene of the resentful son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was arguing with a man with disheveled clothes, and finally the man jumped out of the window and left, and the young son chased after him.

In the picture, the man has his back to the woman and his face cannot be seen, but his hair is gray and he looks quite old. Cha Yao now looks to be in his fifties or sixties.

It has been more than 20 years since the death of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. When he died, Cha Yao was in his prime, and he would not be the man in the picture.

He can't be the prince's father either, as his age doesn't match.

So, when seeing that scene last night, Wei Qingyan subconsciously suspected that the prince had discovered some secret and was therefore silenced.

Obviously, the old lady also had this suspicion, which is why she sent people to the temple outside the city to follow the eldest lady.

I didn't expect that there would be such shocking things in that temple.

She hid in the temple in the name of sadness and praying, but ended up living a loving life with another man there. How could the old lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis not be angry?

Wei Qingyan understood the purpose of Jingzhe's visit. The old lady hoped that she could go because once the eldest lady was sent to the government, it would not be so easy for her to ask some questions.

The abnormal resentment of the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery made her plan to go there.

In addition, Cha Yao is the Queen's man, and I wonder if he can find some clues.

Wei Qingyan had previously found the soul of Shen Changshan in the Lin family's ancestral land, and he thought he could get some clues from him.

But after the young boy was buried in the Lin family's ancestral land, his soul was trapped underground and could not be reincarnated. When he was rescued by Wei Qingyan, he was still confused and ignorant, and he shook his head every time Wei Qingyan asked him questions.

Wei Qingyan felt pity and could not bear to keep him trapped by his side any longer, so when he ferried Wang Zhi and the others, he also sent him into reincarnation.

The queen is really cunning. Her shadow can be seen in many things, but no one can find any evidence against her.

Wei Qingyan hopes that there will be some useful clues from Cha Yao and the eldest lady.

Can Shi Yu stop it? No, he can't, but he can go with her.

Temple outside the city.

The old lady looked at the eldest lady, Madam Sun, with a murderous look in her eyes, "The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery believes that we have treated you well. I have experienced the pain of losing my husband and son, so I feel pity for you who have gone through the same experience and try my best to be considerate of you.

You said that staying in the Marquis' Mansion made you miss the people around you and you didn't have the courage to live anymore, so you wanted to go to the temple. I agreed.

Teng'er met with an accident on the way to find Zhuzai'er. You said that the people and things in the Marquis' Mansion reminded you of the pain of losing your son. I knew that you were taking your anger out on Changning, so I didn't let anyone from the Marquis' Mansion go to disturb you.

I pity you for living in seclusion with the Buddha and the green lamp, and for the hardship of your practice. Your food, clothing, and other expenses are what you should have as the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis's Mansion has never owed you anything.

But I never expected that you were hiding here just to escape from the Marquis' Mansion and have a secret meeting with a strange man.

I want to ask you, when did you betray my husband Dalang and get involved with another man?

Song Teng is the name of the eldest son of Marquis Zhongyong, and the only son of the eldest lady and the eldest son of the Song family.

"We are just old acquaintances. We met by chance in the mountains and invited him to have dinner here. My daughter-in-law is already so old, how could she do such a thing?"

The eldest lady's face was filled with injustice. "This garden cottage was indeed built privately by my daughter-in-law. She just wanted to come here to rest when she was tired. It's not as dirty as my mother said."

The old lady's eyes were filled with even more anger.

After Sun married into the Marquis's mansion, she had no children for many years, so the children of Erlang and Sanlang were all old enough to ride horses, but Dalang still had no child.

Worried that she and the old marquis would make things difficult for Sun, Dalang took the initiative to say that he had been injured during the war and needed to be well recuperated.

As parents, they knew whether Dalang was okay or not, but they were just trying to protect Sun.

But now that she knew that Sun had been having an affair with another man, she wanted to know whether Sun gave birth to Teng'er six years after her marriage because she was really unable to have children or because she didn't want to have children.

The old lady stood up and approached the eldest lady. "I'll ask you again, when did you betray Dalang?"

"Mother, you are wronging your daughter-in-law. She really doesn't have one."

A fierce look flashed in the old lady's cloudy eyes. She suddenly bent down and pulled out a dagger from her calf. As her hands flew, the eldest lady's shrill screams were heard.

She cut the tendons in the eldest lady's hands and feet, and then stepped hard on the eldest lady's severed ankle.

He said coldly, "I have always been easy to talk to, but that is limited to relatives and friends. Your betrayal of Dalang and the Marquis' Mansion is no longer included in this category.

The third son of the Cha family was not born to Mrs. Cha, but was adopted by her. The child was very much loved by Cha Yao.

I heard that he has taken a fancy to the princess of the Ningguo Mansion, and Cha Yao is about to propose marriage for him. You say, if the Ningguo Mansion knew that his biological mother is the eldest lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion who has entered the temple for asceticism.

Will they agree to this marriage? Will Mr. Cha still have the dignity to live in this world?"

There was a sound of bones breaking at the eldest lady's ankle. The pain almost made her faint, but she was more frightened at this moment.

How does my mother-in-law know this?

The old lady didn't give her time to think. She counted, "One, two, three..."

"I'll tell you." The eldest lady shouted hurriedly.

She knew that if the old lady didn't speak after counting to three, she would not give her another chance.

She had heard countless times from her husband and son that her mother-in-law, who was usually kind to her, was actually a pirate with a ruthless hand. Her patience during interrogations was always limited to three breaths.

"Mother, please don't hurt that child, okay? He is innocent. It's my daughter-in-law who deserves to die."

The old lady suddenly clenched her fists.

She now knew how to protect the illegitimate child, but she didn't think about the fact that when Dalang died in battle, Teng'er was only eleven years old, and she abandoned him and resolutely moved to the temple.

It is even possible that Teng'er's death was caused by Sun. Thinking of this, the old lady wished she could tear out Sun's tendons and skin him alive.

She looked at him coldly and moved the dagger in her hand.

The eldest lady dared not delay any longer and cried, "Having lost her husband and son, even Buddhism did not give her the courage to live.

It was Mr. Cha who comforted his daughter-in-law. After being together for a long time, his daughter-in-law was confused for a while. His daughter-in-law only got together with Dalang after his death. His daughter-in-law did not betray Dalang.

I know that if I had asked for a divorce back then, my mother would have definitely agreed to it, but I am reluctant to leave the Marquis' Mansion..."

"You're lying." The old lady finally smashed her fist on the eldest lady's face, "Fool, if I can find out that he is your rebellious son, how can I not find out his actual age?

He is twenty-four this year, and Teng'er has been dead for twenty-four years. When Teng'er had the accident, you were already pregnant.

Because you are pregnant with Cha Yao's child, you can be so cruel to your own son Teng'er, right?"

This was the old lady's guess, and she said this to trick the eldest lady.

But the eldest lady had lived a comfortable life, so how could she be a match for the old lady? She trembled when she heard the words, but she said, "What did you say, mother? How could a daughter-in-law kill her own child?"

The old lady looked at Sun quietly. Her son liked her and said that he had been away from home fighting for many years and had treated Sun badly, so he asked her to be nicer to her daughter-in-law.

The grandson loved his mother and spoke well of her in front of her. After decades of being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she had never assumed any ill will towards her eldest daughter-in-law.

Now I know that she is such a dramatic and malicious person.

The dagger was placed against Sun's neck. "I was born and raised on the sea, and I'm best at pulling out fish tendons and slicing fish meat.

If you and your child don't want to become fish in my knife, then tell me, when did you betray Dalang?

Who was the man you were entangled with when Teng'er discovered you? And how did you kill Teng'er..."
