Chapter 35: Father kills brother, son kills sister
Everyone moved to the fifth floor.
In the room, besides the sound of water pouring, you could hear a pin drop.
After a cup of tea, Deng Youning had a general understanding of the situation between Han Qiongyue and Li Qinghuan.
The woman I just saved was the maid Qingdai mentioned by my grandmother.
She is a blessed person.
Thirty years ago, her husband redeemed her and freed her from slavery.
Now she is just an ordinary village woman.
This Wuyinglou may seem like just a singing and dancing house, but it is actually the largest intelligence center in Dongji.
The host of this post, Li Qinghuan, is even known as a gossiper in the underworld.
But even so, it took Li Qinghuan nearly two months to find Qingdai.
Since she first met Qingdai yesterday, she told Han Qiongyue everything she knew.
But Han Qiongyue herself couldn't accept it.
"Grandma, what's going on?"
"How did my great uncle die?"
Deng Youning asked anxiously.
If you want to comfort your grandmother, you must at least know what happened back then!
Li Qinghuan and Nanny Dou, who knew the truth, looked at Deng Youning.
"Madam, please forgive me for saying so much. I think you don't need to hide this from the Second Miss."
"She has the right to know and the ability to help solve it!"
Deng Youning herself didn't expect that Li Qinghuan would actually speak up for her!
She is rated so highly!
Chunlan, who was standing by, ran over, knelt down and apologized to Deng Youning:
"Please forgive me, young lady. I was blind and didn't recognize you. I'm sorry for offending you before..."
Recalling how she had been disrespectful to Deng Youning many times, Chunlan pouted in regret.
"Hurry up and get up. We are the ones who are dressed as men. It's none of your business."
Deng Youning quickly helped Chunlan up.
She wouldn't wrongly accuse anyone.
Her disguise as a man was very successful. The people from Wuying Studio didn’t recognize her this time, and neither did the people from Qianji Pavilion last time!
"Madam Dou, please explain the matter to Ningning briefly."
Li Qinghuan's words just now moved Han Qiongyue, and she took the initiative to ask Nanny Dou to tell Deng Youning.
According to Qingdai's narration, Deng Ren was pushed off the cliff by Deng Zheng!
And it was definitely not an unintentional mistake!
Thirty-eight years ago, the two brothers went for a hike in the mountains. When they reached the cliff, they saw the towering cliffs. Deng Ren immediately recited a poem and became interested, so he performed a sword dance.
I don’t know what the problem was, but after he did these things, Deng Zheng’s face turned visibly darker.
Deliberately tricked Deng Ren into wanting the wild flowers on the cliff.
While his brother was picking flowers, he sent away all the servants and pushed his biological brother off the cliff!
Hearing this, Deng Youning couldn't help but laugh.
Deng Zheng and his son are really cut from the same cloth!
"Second Miss, what are you laughing at?"
"Don't you believe it?"
Nanny Dou asked curiously.
"Every word I said was true. I never lied!"
Qingdai, who had just bandaged her wound, immediately expressed her opinion upon hearing this.
Deng Youning shook his head.
"I laugh at my father!"
"Like father, like son!"
"The father killed his brother, and the son killed his sister."
As soon as she said this, the room became quiet again.
Han Qiongyue's heart began to bleed again.
She coughed violently a few times and her breathing became rapid.
Deng Youning originally wanted to go over to help her calm down, but Li Qinghuan got there first.
When he was young, Li Qinghuan was saved by Han Qiongyue.
The number of people saved by Han Qiongyue was at least eighty, if not a hundred, so Han Qiongyue herself did not notice her.
But Li Qinghuan is a grateful person.
I have stayed in the capital all these years just to be with Han Qiongyue.
I would visit her every New Year and other holidays.
And always ready to fight for her.
"Qingdai, you also said that my father sent all the servants away. How did you know about this?"
Deng Youning quickly figured out the doubts.
Han Qiongyue, who had just come back to her senses from her grief, discovered the problem.
"If he hadn't pushed him off the cliff, how could a living person like Dalangjun disappear out of thin air?"
"He also used the excuse of encountering a human trafficker to deceive the old lady Meng at the time."
"I don't understand. Why did the whole government believe this excuse which was full of loopholes?"
"They believed what they wanted, but I didn't. Later, I went to the bottom of the cliff to look for Dalangjun and found the fragments of his clothes from that day."
At this point, Deng Youning could guess the general idea.
Presumably, when Qingdai was sold, Deng Zheng realized that she was suspicious of the cause of Deng Ren's death.
"Qingdai, I apologize to you for what happened just now."
Han Qiongyue lowered her head slightly.
The reason why Han Qiongyue and the others chased Qingdai just now was because Han Qiongyue wanted Qingdai to go back home with her and confront Deng Zheng face to face.
Qingdai refused to agree no matter what, so she thought of running away.
Han Qiongyue finally reacted and realized that everything Qingdai said was just her own guess, without any evidence. If she rashly went to confront Deng Zheng, not only would Deng Zheng not plead guilty, but their mother-son relationship would also be completely destroyed.
"Madam, this is serious."
Qingdai still called Han Qiongyue "Madam" according to the custom of more than 30 years ago.
"I only regret that I have no evidence to identify the murderer!"
Her words were also a concern for Han Qiongyue and Deng Youning.
It has been thirty-eight years and there are no clues left.
"Madam Dou, give her some silver and thank her sincerely."
At this point, Qingdai has no chance of survival, so Han Qiongyue asks Madam Dou to send her away first.
"Madam, do you need me to investigate the matter concerning the master?"
Li Qinghuan took the initiative to take on the task.
Han Qiongyue sighed and asked, "How do I check?"
Li Qinghuan had no clue either.
Deng Youning suddenly had an idea and said:
"I have a good idea!"
"We can find a little boy who looks like my great uncle and have him dress up as a ghost at midnight to seek revenge on my father."
"However, if my father really did something wrong, it would be easy to scare him to death."
When she said this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Han Qiongyue, who had been frowning, finally smiled again.
You know what, Ningning’s method is really good.
But the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is currently in a turbulent time. If Deng Zheng is really scared to death, won't it be Ningning and I who will have to clean up the mess and deal with the problem?
She felt there was no urgency in the matter.
You need to wait until the most appropriate time.
"Madam, you have really found a treasure this time!"
"The Second Miss is highly skilled in martial arts and is also smart and intelligent. She is completely different from this girl in the capital and cannot be compared with her!"
At the beginning, Li Qinghuan didn't have a very good impression of Deng Youning because she stole the Li family's business and was a gigolo.
Until just now, I saw her jumping from the fifth floor to save Qingdai, regardless of her own safety.
Li Qinghuan was truly amazed by her.
After learning that she was Madam Han’s granddaughter who had been missing for sixteen years, Li Qinghuan wanted to make friends with her even more!
"Thank you for your high evaluation, Mr. Li. I don't deserve it."
Deng Youning said modestly.
"The last time, I was too self-righteous and looked down on others. I hope the Second Miss will not take it to heart."
Li Qinghuan also bowed to Deng Youning.
The last incident was just laughed off, and the two of them could be said to have become friends through fighting.
Han Qiongyue looked at the two of them with satisfaction.
Ningning has been back in Beijing for such a long time and still has no friends. If she could get closer to Qinghuan, there would be more people to help her.
"In my opinion, both of you are good kids who have come out of the mud without getting stained."
"You never complain about yourselves or blame others, and you grow up in adversity. You are all eternal flowers in the snowy land."
