Chapter 163: Interrogation
The wife of Marquis Jingwei did not dare to go alone.
If that evil creature goes crazy, no one can control him.
"Call all the guards in the mansion." The Marquis's wife thought of the pomp and ceremony that Qu Ling always displayed when he went out, and felt that she should also bring more people with her.
Hu Yingyue hurriedly stopped her, "Aunt, the capital is unstable right now. Wouldn't it attract attention if you brought so many people to dine with your son?"
The Marquis's wife paused.
The court was in a state of panic, with countless eyes watching what was happening in each government office.
If she led people to surround the restaurant with great fanfare, the imperial desk would be piled with memorials impeaching the Marquis of Jingwei's Mansion tomorrow.
I heard that the new officials in the Censorate are all very powerful.
She grabbed Hu Yingyue's hand and asked, "What should we do?"
She herself didn't even realize that she was now somewhat dependent on Hu Yingyue.
Hu Yingyue's eyes turned, "How about this, I'll take three skilled guards and wait at the teahouse opposite Fengzuilou."
"If the prince makes a move, you smash the cup as a signal, and I will lead my men in to charge in immediately."
"That's it," the Marquis's wife gritted her teeth, took off the bracelet and stuffed it into her hand. "If you hear any noise, don't hesitate, just bring your men in."
Hu Yingyue nodded seriously and put the bracelet on her wrist neatly.
This is good stuff.
"Prepare the sedan chair." The Marquis's wife walked out of the room in a hurry.
Hu Yingyue watched her aunt leave, gently turning the bracelet on her wrist.
She instructed the housekeeper, "Pick three good fighters and follow me to the teahouse."
When the wife of Marquis Jingwei arrived at Fengzui Tower, she cautiously called the servant over first.
"Is anyone causing trouble?"
"No," the servant nodded and bowed, "Madam, please come in without worry."
Only then did the wife of Marquis Jingwei feel relieved.
Chi Che should not have been coerced.
It seems that the evil creature has really changed his mind.
She went upstairs, pushed the door open, and saw Qu Ling sitting leisurely on the armchair by the window.
"Ma'am, come in." She smiled.
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was startled, but thinking of the maids and servants following her, she was not afraid of Qu Ling and walked into the house.
The door was suddenly closed.
The wife of Marquis Jingwei turned around suddenly and saw that the maid who followed her in had fainted on the ground.
She was about to call for help when Su Shang covered her mouth.
"I have a few questions for you, Madam," Qu Ling said slowly. "Answer me kindly, Madam. You and your son will be fine."
Only then did Lady Jingwei discover that Chi Che was tied up and gagged on the ground not far away.
"If Madam insists on going against me, I will have no choice but to cut off his ears first and then his fingers."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was very desperate.
Facing Qu Ling, she no longer had the instinct to resist.
She remembered what Song Yuzhen said.
The person in front of me is extremely cunning, sinister, vicious, unscrupulous and ruthless.
Helplessly, she could only do as she was told and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Su Shang slowly released his hand, and indeed the Marquis's wife did not scream, but was just breathing heavily.
The scene was very strange.
Qu Ling was sitting, the Marquis's wife was standing, and there was another person lying on the ground.
"Have you met Song Yuzhen?" Qu Ling asked straight to the point.
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was stunned for a moment, then she understood.
It must have been something Chi Yuan forced out of A Che when he beat him.
There was a flash of annoyance in her eyes, but she had to nod, "Yes, I have."
"What did she tell you?"
"Nothing, just a few words of small talk."
Qu Ling pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
She walked to Chi Che and lightly scratched his ear, causing blood to flow out.
Chi Che groaned, his eyes rolled back, and his lower body was wet.
"Stop, stop!" The Marquis's wife turned pale with anger.
She wanted to pounce, but was held tightly by Su Shang.
"You're not telling the truth," Qu Ling said softly, "His ear is just injured. If you lie again, it will fall off."
The Marquis's wife was completely defeated.
"Song Yuzhen said that I should not only take care of all matters concerning the marriage, but also use my mother-in-law's tactics to control you."
She didn't lie, Song Yuzhen did say that.
Qu Ling's eyes were sharp and intimidating. "Anything else?"
"That's all."
"Song Yuzhen doesn't have the luxury of teaching you how to deal with me."
Qu Ling raised the dagger high and chopped at Chi Che's fingers.
"I tell you, I tell you!"
The wife of Marquis Jingwei completely collapsed. She burst into tears and collapsed to the ground. "She said she would help me kill you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Chi Yuan behind the screen suddenly clenched his fists.
"How to kill me?" Qu Ling remained calm.
"She asked me to take care of your marriage so that she could send assassins disguised as an opera troupe to the Marquis' Mansion and put some medicine in my wine."
Qu Ling smiled and asked, "And then?"
"Then I can just kill you." The face of the Marquis Jingwei's wife was full of panic.
She didn't dare hide anything.
She was afraid that the knife would really fall.
"I even asked her why she wanted to kill you."
"She said that you went to the Song family and caused a scene on the second day of the New Year, and she wished you were dead."
"Is it just me you want to kill?" Qu Ling stood up, slowly walked to the Marquis's wife, and lifted her chin with a dagger.
"You still want to use her to kill Chi Yuan, right?"
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was startled for a moment, then shook her head, "No, no matter how bad he is, he is still my son."
"Idiot." Qu Ling retracted the dagger.
"His Majesty promised me that he would come to the wedding to drink, and the eldest princess would also come."
"Was it necessary for her to go to such great lengths to kill me? She killed the eldest princess and His Majesty."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was struck by lightning.
"Impossible, but it's a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan."
"The person died in your mansion, and those who were executed were all nine clans of your mansion," Qu Ling's eyes were cold, "including Chi Che."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was trembling with fear.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
"When will you meet Song Yuzhen next time?"
"April 30th."
That was the day she was worshipping Buddha, and Song Yuzhen said he would wait for her there.
"Then you can meet her normally."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei did not dare to disobey.
She hated Qu Ling and Chi Yuan to death.
Know what she cares about and use it to threaten her.
For Chi Che, she could only seek the skin of the tiger.
Qu Ling untied the ropes that bound Chi Che. "If even a little bit of news leaks out, it won't matter whether Chi Yuan and I live or die, but he will definitely die."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei nodded desperately.
"mother!"
Chi Che stumbled into the arms of Marquis Jingwei's wife and burst into tears.
"Send the Madam and the Second Young Master out."
Su Shang first woke up the maidservants on the ground, then opened the door and smiled politely, "I will take Madam downstairs."
Qu Ling turned and walked towards the screen. Chi Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Did you hear everything?" Qu Ling asked.
Chi Yuan nodded and reached out to tidy up a stray strand of hair on her temples. "I'll take you to the Princess's residence."
Qu Ling raised the corners of his lips slightly. He knew exactly what she was going to do.
