Jiang Chenyu followed this adventure without hesitation as it was so thrilling and fun.
The innkeeper did not fail to see Liu Chanru taking Jiang Chenyu away, but he was bribed with a ten-liang silver ingot.
The hush money given by Liu Chanru's maid.
Upon learning that Jiang Chenyu was missing, the innkeeper was even less likely to mention what happened that night. Ten taels of silver was a small matter, but if he was accused of dereliction of duty and lost his job, it would be troublesome.
With a whole family waiting for his monthly salary to fill their stomachs, he would never tell the truth even if he was beaten to death.
The two got on the carriage and moved forward slowly.
There was incense burning in the carriage, and no one knew what it was, but the smell made people excited. The two of them made a fool of themselves in the carriage, and the whole night they did it.
If Jiang Chenyu stuck his head out to take a look, he would have discovered that the carriage was not taking the official road, but a small road.
Liu Chanru waited on him all night, and both of them were tired and needed to rest. Liu Chanru brought him a bowl of water, and Jiang Chenyu drank it all without warning.
The carriage avoided people and came to a valley on the southern outskirts of the capital, where a hole had been dug.
She and her maid worked together to carry Jiang Chenyu over, threw him into the hole and buried him.
A handful of yellow earth covers the romantic life.
Clean, sanitary and environmentally friendly.
While the Pingning Marquis's mansion was in a state of panic when looking for someone, Liu Chanru was living a leisurely life.
Liu Taiwei's family had been exiled to the frontier, but she was a married woman and was not affected. She still lived in a farm outside the southern suburbs.
The moonlight was bright tonight. Liu Chanru lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She heard dogs barking and horse hooves clattering outside the village, but she took no notice and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
After so many days, she knew very well what she would face next.
If the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture handles the case effectively, the case will definitely be found on her. If he fails to handle the case effectively, Jiang Chenyu's death will be in vain.
No matter what the result is, she accepts it calmly.
She no longer had the arrogance she once had. She no longer had the capital to be proud and could only go with the flow.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. It was the village head's wife, her voice was filled with anxiety and trembling: "Miss! Someone is looking for you."
Liu Chanru got up, put on her clothes, opened the door, and followed the village head's wife out.
When she saw the Jingzhao prefect and his entourage, she was not at all flustered, but actually smiled as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
After hearing what Wang Mingkui said, he knew that the Duke of Protectorate’s instructions were very clear, and he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
He was indeed the person who provided information to the emperor and was very clear about the people and events happening in the capital.
"Where did you bury the Prince of Pingning? Take us there immediately."
Liu Chanru nodded, turned around and left without any resistance.
When they arrived at the burial site, she pointed to a flat area and said calmly, "It's right down there, dig it out!"
The prefect of Jingzhao brought a coroner and immediately ordered people to dig. In less than an incense stick of time, they dug out a highly decomposed corpse.
It really stinks. Except for Liu Chanru, everyone present was nauseated by the stench.
There are many things that can prove the identity of the corpse, including jade pendants, waist badges of Pingning Marquis Mansion, etc.
The next morning, Pingning Hou received a message from the Jingzhao prefect, saying that his son had been found. Chen Shi could not sit still and rushed out of the small Buddhist temple, wanting to go with him.
Considering that she had lost her child, Marquis Pingning did not stop her.
The couple came to the morgue of the Jingzhao prefect and saw the rotten corpse. Chen screamed and fainted.
Although the body had rotted, she could still identify the clothes on her son, especially the green bamboo pattern on the cuffs, which she had specially designed and asked the embroiderer to embroider.
Among all the noblemen in the capital, only her son had such special green bamboo pattern on his cuffs.
He just shouted "Son!" then rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Marquis Pingning stood there in a daze, not even caring about Chen. Fortunately, the old nanny was holding him from behind.
The prisoners and their victims had all arrived, and the prefect of Jingzhao did not even have time to rest, but immediately opened the court to try the case.
Chen woke up slowly, and when she saw Liu Chanru, she wanted to tear her apart alive.
"Bitch! Did you kill my son? Who ordered you to do this? Tell me, who is the person behind you? Why did he kill my son?"
When Pingning Hou heard the meaning of Chen's words, he wanted to throw dirty water on Jiang Chenjue's head. He turned around and stared at her fiercely: "Chen! Stop talking nonsense."
Liu Chanru looked at the crazy Chen and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! Hahaha! Madam Pingning Hou! How dare you say that. Aren't you the one who directed me behind the scenes? If it weren't for you, how could Jiang Chenyu have targeted me?"
"You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly order you to kill my own son?" Chen's eyes were red as blood, and she wished she could strangle Liu Chanru to death.
How come she wasn't struck by lightning for saying such things?
Her laughter was really piercing, her smile was really dazzling, she was unwilling to accept it! Why did her son die? Why?
The disappearance of the Prince of Pingning caused panic among the people. In order to give the people a chance to appease, the prefect of Jingzhao adopted a public trial.
At this moment, both sides of the hall were filled with common people, and everyone wanted to know why the daughter of General Liu wanted to kill the son of Marquis Pingning.
"Of course you didn't instruct me to kill Jiang Chenyu. You instructed me to lure Chu Zhiyin to the Stone Lake behind Baiyan Temple and push her into the lake so that Jiang Chenyu could rescue her and have physical contact with her, thus stopping the eldest son of Pingning Marquis's mansion from wanting to marry her."
As soon as Liu Chanru finished speaking, many people gasped.
"Oh my god! What a vicious mind."
"As the wife of the Marquis of Pingning, she actually plotted against her eldest son's marriage and used such unscrupulous means. She is so shameless."
"That loyal and brave general was forced to leave the capital at a young age and go to the military camp to earn military merits. This must have been the work of Marquis Pingning's wife."
"If a child of an aristocratic family hadn't reached a point where they couldn't survive, why would they give up the comfortable life in the capital to suffer in the military camp?"
"That's right. I heard that he lost his aunt when he was seven years old. I also heard that his aunt was secretly killed by the Marquis's wife."
"Yes, I heard that the general will live in a separate residence when he returns. If the Marquis' wife hadn't been caught with evidence, she would definitely not agree so readily."
Chen was almost driven crazy by the discussions of the people around her. She was questioning the murderer, why did everyone focus on the eldest son of a concubine?
"It's no use staring at me. I will make your evil intentions clear to the world." Liu Chanru smiled nonchalantly and said slowly, "You schemed against Chu Zhiyin for two reasons. One is to get her 8 million taels of compensation silver, and the other is to make her marry your son.
The eight million taels of compensation could only be brought into the Marquis's mansion, not given to the Marquis's eldest son. It's a pity that you didn't expect Chu Zhiyin to fall into the trap, but I accidentally fell into the lake.
Jiang Chenyu rushed into the lake like a blind man, and the person he rescued was not Chu Zhiyin, but me, Liu Chanru.
You didn't expect Chu Zhiyin to donate 8 million taels of compensation to the national treasury in exchange for a title of a third-rank lady. Hahaha! What is this? Nothing at all? "
