Chapter 127: Pulling Her Down
She waited and waited with hope, thinking that what she waited for was Wei Youshan's fulfillment of his promise, but what she waited for was the joy of Qiao's mother and daughter.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked for leave from Linglong Pavilion and rushed to Jiangnian County to find Wei Youshan, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
But Wei Youshan's reply was that he was grateful for her past financial support, but that was just gratitude, repayment, and compensation. He truly loved Miss Qiao. As for the money she had spent, he would collect it together in the next few days and compensate her with double the amount.
And what she wants is not just the money.
She had worked so hard and fantasized for so long, and thought she and he truly loved each other, but in the end, all she got in return was just a word of gratitude?
Even the threats she made if she refused to agree to this matter?
She hated him so much in her heart! She wanted revenge!
She lied to him to go back to Hedong Prefecture, saying that if he refused to go back, she would tell the Qiao family and the county school everything about her past, letting everyone know that he was a treacherous person.
Wei Youshan was afraid, and even though he scolded him, he still followed her back to Hedong Mansion and returned to the small courtyard where he used to live.
But although his body came back, his heart did not. He asked her how much money she wanted every day to keep silent forever, and even secretly bought arsenic with the intention of poisoning her.
She took the initiative and smashed his hateful face to pieces with his favorite brush washer. Then, under the cover of night, she secretly carried it to a small alley across half the city and threw it into a shared well.
In order to prevent the body from being discovered too early, a stone was even tied to his body.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, the hemp rope became loose due to soaking, the stone fell off, and Wei Youshan's body floated up and was discovered...
When Madam Fang first talked about this, she stuttered a little, perhaps out of fear or anger, but the more she spoke, the more fluent her speech became, and her face showed more expressions, making it seem very vivid.
It was as if what she said was not something she had experienced personally, but a story she had heard.
After she finished speaking, Madam Fang kowtowed to Qu Zhiwen and said, "Sir, this is what happened. I killed Wei Youshan in anger."
Kill such a heartless, fickle and despicable man.
Seeing that Madam Fang was calm and composed, without any fear or resistance, Qu Zhiwen lowered his eyes and asked, "Why did the clothes you changed for Wei Youshan after killing him not fit him?"
Since Madam Fang and Wei Youshan have been together for a long time and Madam Fang is a very good embroiderer, she should be very familiar with Wei Youshan's body size, and the clothes she makes should also fit him well.
"The dress was originally a new spring dress for him. I wanted to make it according to his size so that it would fit him better. But then I thought, he is busy with his studies and doesn't want me to look for him more often. He doesn't want me to look for me more often either. So I made the dress longer so that I would have an excuse to look for him more often."
Madam Fang smiled bitterly when she said this, "I just didn't expect that this would be the last time I would make clothes for him, and there would be no need to alter them again."
His tone was full of loss and resentment, but lacked the anger he had just shown when he scolded Wei Youshan.
Qu Zhiwen couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The most difficult thing to describe in this world is the word "love", and the most difficult thing to predict is the word "human heart".
After a pause, Qu Zhiwen spoke again, "The clothes that Miss Su wanted seemed to be made by you and Madam Yun. The words embroidered on the men's coat for Miss Su were embroidered by you, right?"
"That's right." Madam Fang admitted directly, "I heard that Miss Su has no status, but seems to be very doted on."
"A concubine is like this. It shows how cold-blooded and heartless the man is to his wife. Since Miss Su has tasted all the love, she should also have a taste of what it feels like when a man turns his back on her."
So I embroidered those love words on an inconspicuous part of the clothes.
What the man could not tolerate the most was that he was wearing a green hat on his head. He would definitely be furious, and would even want to kill Miss Su, let alone dote on her.
It would be better if there were more sad women like her in this world.
Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that she is too unlucky?
Oh……
After hearing Fang's answer, Qu Zhiwen frowned and raised his hand, "Take her away."
The yamen runners came forward and put iron chains and shackles on Madam Fang.
Madam Fang did not resist at all, but cooperated obediently. Before leaving, she called out to Shopkeeper Du, who was sighing in the corner, "I still have a lot of money hidden in my pillow. Shopkeeper, please give it to Sister Yun. I want to thank Sister Yun for taking care of me all these years."
"Okay." Shopkeeper Du nodded in agreement, and hurriedly sent Qu Zhiwen and others out of Linglong Pavilion.
After watching the crowd walk away and the onlookers disperse, Shopkeeper Du finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to find Madam Yun and told her what Madam Fang had mentioned about the silver in the pillow.
When Madam Yun heard the whole story, her eyes darkened.
It’s true.
There is no shortage of unfaithful men in this world, and there is no shortage of women who turn love into hatred...
After Qu Zhiwen returned to the government office, he went to look for He Yanxiu.
As soon as they met, he bowed and saluted, "This case is really thanks to Lord He."
Otherwise, he would be like a headless fly, flying around aimlessly but to no avail.
"Master Qu, you are too kind. I just happened to come across this incident and thought it was suspicious, so I asked Xing'an to pay attention to it."
Embroidering those words on the clothes was clearly intended to sow discord and frame Su Yujin.
He Yanxiu believed that Su Yujin had kept a low profile since arriving in Hedong Prefecture, and the few people who had contact with him also admired him very much. It could be said that Su Yujin had almost no enemies.
But although he has never made any enemies, there are people who hold a grudge to this extent. It can only be said that someone in Linglong Pavilion is trapped by love and cannot get out of it, and is so angry that he is willing to drag others into the water.
Since she could drag irrelevant people into the water without hesitation, one can imagine what she did to the man who hurt her.
It can be said that this is indeed a very coincidental thing.
Qu Zhiwen nodded, indicating that he understood what He Yanxiu meant by coincidence.
But even if it was just a coincidence, He Yanxiu was able to connect all the clues together and his guess was exactly right, which shows how wise and decisive he is.
Qu Zhiwen felt even more recognition and admiration for this young doctor from the Ministry of Revenue.
In the evening, He Yanxiu finished his work and returned to the backyard.
"Second Master, I'll take these two pieces of clothing and throw them away."
These two pieces of clothing were made by that lady, and that man was a murderer. It is unlucky to wear such clothes or keep them around.
