Chapter 537 Wu Bo's Torture and Decision
But heaven knows, two days ago someone suddenly came to the village, drugged him, and kidnapped him.
The moment he fainted, he wasn't afraid at all; he was even a little expectant.
Dying like this wouldn't be a bad way to find relief.
But strangely enough, he didn't die.
Not only did he not die, but the truth of what happened back then was also exposed, and even irrefutable evidence was presented!
Finally, his guess was no longer just a guess! It was an undeniable fact!
What devastated him even more was that the Earl of Enping actually sent people to rescue him!
At that moment, he truly didn't know how to face it all.
Qiao Qinghe was naturally unaware of Wu Bo's inner struggle. She said calmly, "Since you know that Uncle Enping saved you for Rongrong, you should know Uncle Enping's feelings for Rongrong."
Uncle Wu remained silent. It was precisely because of this that he became increasingly conflicted and tormented.
If the Earl of Enping ever treats his young lady badly in the slightest, he will tell her the truth without any scruples, persuade her to leave the Earl of Enping, and even retaliate against him.
But unfortunately, he had seen how the Earl of Enping had treated his young lady over the past few years.
Qiao Qinghe sighed and changed the subject, "Do you know who kidnapped you?"
Uncle Wu nodded slowly, "I know, it's the young princess of the Shun'an Prince's Mansion."
After a pause, Uncle Wu added, "She came to see me in person and showed me... and even whipped me. The wounds on my body were inflicted by her."
He wasn't lying. Feng Yudie met with him personally, presenting evidence and witnesses of the massacre of the Su family by the Earl of Enping, trying to get him to tell Su Rongrong the truth and persuade her to leave the Earl of Enping. He refused, which is why Feng Yudie became angry and hit him.
Qiao Qinghe astutely grasped the key point in Uncle Wu's words, "What did Feng Yudie show you?"
"Is it evidence of the Su family's massacre?" Qiao Qinghe guessed.
Wu Bo froze, wanting to deny it, but Qiao Qinghe didn't give him the chance.
What evidence is it?
Qiao Qinghe stared intently at Uncle Wu, "You've had a lot of suffering these past few years, haven't you? If you don't want your young lady to live a life worse than death like you in the future, you should tell us what you've seen so we can find a way to destroy it and prevent future troubles."
Wu Bo gave Qiao Qinghe a deep look, then lowered his head and fell into a long silence.
Qiao Qinghe didn't press him any further, giving him enough time to consider the pros and cons.
After a long silence, Uncle Wu finally sighed and said in a low voice, "It's Dingfeng."
"Dingfeng?" Qiao Qinghe frowned, not immediately recalling such a person.
Uncle Wu explained, "Dingfeng was the personal servant of the Earl of Enping back then. He was also the steward who followed the Earl of Enping when he went to the capital."
Upon hearing Wu Bo's words, Qiao Qinghe suddenly remembered. It was this very man who had been pushed forward to take the blame when Wu Bo questioned Yan Jin. Later, it seemed he had been sent to the estate.
It seems he was resentful, which is why he was taken advantage of and bribed.
Uncle Wu continued, "The order to exterminate the entire Su family was given by Yan Jin. Ding Feng was the one who carried it out."
Uncle Wu closed his eyes and said in a sorrowful tone, "Dingfeng has always kept the secret order that Yan Jin wrote to him back then."
Qiao Qinghe sighed inwardly. If it weren't for Uncle Wu recognizing Dingfeng's voice and identifying him as one of the murderers who wiped out the Su family, Yan Jin would not have abandoned Dingfeng and driven him to the manor.
If Dingfeng had not been abandoned, he would not have harbored resentment or betrayed Yan Jin.
It can only be said that every cause has its effect; life will always bite you when you least expect it, catching you off guard.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Qinghe comforted him, "Perhaps Dingfeng is just trying to get revenge on Earl Enping for being kicked out of the Earl's mansion back then? Can you be sure that the note in Dingfeng's hand was really written by Earl Enping?"
"Even if the handwriting is the same, how many talented people in this world can imitate other people's handwriting?"
"Couldn't that note have been forged by someone imitating the handwriting of the Earl of Enping, commissioned by Feng Yudie?"
Uncle Wu looked at Qiao Qinghe with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" He was somewhat speechless.
Qiao Qinghe stated emphatically, "You can't deny that possibility, can you?"
Uncle Wu sighed helplessly, "The old lady is right."
Seeing Wu Bosong's expression, Qiao Qinghe smiled and said, "Does thinking like this make you feel better?"
Uncle Wu forced a smile, a smile that looked more like a grimace. "The old lady is right."
Qiao Qinghe changed the subject again, "Just now you and Rongrong were talking about where you would go in the future. Since you don't want to stay in the Enping Marquis's mansion, and Rongrong doesn't want you to be too far away from her, why don't you stay with me from now on?"
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Wu readily agreed, "Then thank you very much, Madam."
Having settled this matter, Uncle Wu remembered something else and quickly asked, "Madam, what about Princess Feng..."
How will the Earl of Enping handle this?
Since the decision has been made to let the young lady live on in a daze, then the trouble with Princess Feng must be resolved.
We can't let his young lady live under the threat of Princess Feng forever, can we?
Qiao Qinghe sighed and said with a solemn expression, "The person is already dead. It is said that the Shun'an Prince's Mansion has reported the case and suspects that the murderer is the Earl of Enping."
Uncle Wu gasped, "He, he...the Earl of Enping killed someone?"
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Qiao Qinghe nodded. "Earl Enping will not allow anyone to threaten him and Rongrong."
"Then...then will the Earl of Enping be alright?" Uncle Wu suddenly became anxious. "If something happens to him, wouldn't my young lady be heartbroken?"
Qiao Qinghe smiled. Sure enough, no matter how much entanglement or hatred there was, Uncle Wu would eventually compromise for Su Rongrong's sake.
"Don't worry, if Earl Enping dares to do this, he must be confident that he can get out unscathed."
Qiao Qinghe solemnly instructed, "Before you are sure that the Earl of Enping is safe and sound, don't let anything slip to Rongrong."
Uncle Wu nodded quickly, "I know. I won't let my young lady worry about Uncle Enping."
After the two finished speaking, they had someone invite Su Rongrong in.
"Grandmother, what were you and Uncle Wu talking about? Why did you talk for so long?" Su Rongrong looked at Qiao Qinghe strangely, then at Uncle Wu strangely.
Qiao Qinghe said with a smile, "What else can I say? Of course, I'll help you persuade Uncle Wu to stay in the capital."
Su Rongrong looked at Qiao Qinghe with a look of surprise, and then at Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu smiled and said, “Miss, I will be staying at the old lady’s residence from now on. If you miss me, please come and see me when you come back to see the old lady.”
"Really?" Su Rongrong asked Qiao Qinghe excitedly for confirmation.
Qiao Qinghe nodded with a smile, "It's true. I just happened to have reserved a courtyard for you in the mansion, right? From now on, Uncle Wu will look after the courtyard for you."
"That's wonderful! Thank you, Grandmother!" Su Rongrong exclaimed with joy as she reached out and hugged Qiao Qinghe.
Seeing the now lively and cheerful Su Rongrong, Uncle Wu quietly wiped away his tears, then looked at Su Rongrong with a gratified smile.
That's good! That's good! Let him take the truth of the past to his grave!
