Shen Qingyu's expression was somewhat strange at this moment; she was not in a hurry, but rather showed a hint of indifference.
She took a few steps to a spot just a step away from the cave entrance and stopped.
"Do you think I can find clues with the people Qi Yunxiao and I have, even if you don't tell me?"
As soon as Shen Qingyu spoke, Shen Qingyao's expression changed.
But then Shen Qingyao became defiant again: "The only people who knew about this were my parents and me, and they're all dead. Where else can you ask? You'd better let me go right now, and I might tell you the truth..."
Shen Qingyu lost her patience and looked at Qi Yunxiao: "Do your men have the skills for interrogation and torture?"
Qi Yunxiao nodded without hesitation: "Of course there are."
A force of several thousand men without a single expert in interrogation would be a disgrace to the Dragon Guard.
"Pry her mouth open, just enough to leave her breathing."
Shen Qingyu felt no guilt when she said such cruel words.
Being able to repeatedly betray oneself is something that only biological sisters would do.
Now that it has been confirmed that they are not related by blood, he has thrown away his last shred of pity.
Shen Qingyao's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she screamed, "Shen Qingyu, my parents raised you. If they knew you would actually be so cruel to me, they would never forgive you in heaven!"
Shen Qingyu glanced down at her and sneered, "If you can't handle it and go over there, what are you going to tell them when they ask you why you're so cruel?"
"This was supposed to be my marriage! You bastard, what right do you have to take away the life-saving grace my father gave to the Qi family?!"
"You don't deserve it!" Shen Qingyao screamed hysterically, spitting out a long way.
"Then when you go down there, just tell them that."
After Shen Qingyu finished speaking, she turned around and left, going outside.
If we're talking about debts, he owes Shen Qingyao a debt for raising him, but he doesn't owe her anything.
From the day she poisoned her and stole her marriage, that last bit of sisterly affection was completely gone.
It was Shen Qingyao who destroyed it herself.
When Qi Han learned that Shen Qingyu and Shen Qingyao were not actually sisters, he was both shocked and saddened.
Who could have imagined that?
These two sisters look quite alike, but they're not actually biological sisters?!
Qi Han thought about it seriously and couldn't help but remind him, "You and Shen Qingyao do look about five points alike. Could it be that you were born to a relative of her mother's family?"
Shen Qingyu was completely baffled; how could she know this? She could only wait for the results of the interrogation inside.
Qi Han hesitated, wanting to leave: it wasn't appropriate for an outsider like him to know too much about such secrets.
Qi Yunxiao, seeing this, offered, "Now that this matter is settled, how about I have them escort you down the mountain first?"
Qi Han was more than happy to agree and nodded repeatedly: "I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head back first."
Qi Yunxiao then ordered the Dragon Guards to carry him down the mountain in a sedan chair.
Not long after Qi Han went down the mountain, Shen Qingyao confessed.
Reeking of blood and stench, Chen San emerged from the cave, but dared not approach too closely, standing three meters away to report.
"They confessed after only three teeth were extracted."
"She didn't actually know anything. She only overheard the lady's father saying to the lady's mother, 'You secretly brought Qingyu back to raise. What will happen if you are found out later?' That was all."
Shen Qingyu curled her lip in disdain: "I knew she never told the truth."
She even told herself that she knew nothing at all.
"Don't let her die. There's plenty of food, but it doesn't have to be too fancy."
After giving her instructions, Shen Qingyu turned around and walked out with Qi Yunxiao.
"Do you have any suspicions in your mind?" Qi Yunxiao asked.
Shen Qingyu shook her head: Where did this idea come from?
The deceased foster mother's family was not from Tongxin Prefecture at all. She had no idea where her maternal grandmother's family was, so how could she possibly find any clues?
wrong!
It seems there really is.
Shen Qingyu took out a black pendant from her purse (space storage) and handed it to Qi Yunxiao.
"This was given to me by Shen Qingyao as payment for the silk. It's said to be my mother's, but I can't tell what the material is."
Qi Yunxiao took the item and examined it carefully, then frowned and said, "This is not something from an ordinary family."
"Um?"
"This is a type of black jade, found only on the deep seabed. To obtain this jade, one needs to be lucky enough to find a piece of jade washed ashore on the beach. It is extremely rare and not commonly seen."
Shen Qingyu didn't believe it: "It's so dark..."
How can you be sure it's jade?
Qi Yunxiao smiled: "You'll know once you put it in water..."
Before he could finish speaking, a man in his fifties saw someone bowing from a distance on the roadside ahead.
"Master, I heard that Shenjia Village is going to set up a private school?"
Shen Qingyu nodded. The guards who were with him recognized the man and took the initiative to introduce him to their master: "This is a scholar among the refugees."
A scholar in his fifties?
Shen Qingyu asked curiously, "What do you want?"
The man introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Juemin. Although I have studied for decades, I have never passed the imperial examinations..."
Once Zhang Juemin started speaking, he launched into a long and eloquent speech, mainly discussing the usefulness of reading and praising the benefits of Shen Qingyu's private school...
It's all about showering people with compliments.
Qi Yunxiao had to interrupt him: "Just say what you have to say."
Zhang Juemin then stopped, somewhat embarrassed: "I wanted to ask the master, does the private school need a teacher? You mean the kind who gives children their first education?"
Fearing that Shen Qingyu would find it distasteful, he quickly explained, "Although I did not pass the imperial examinations, I can read and write, so teaching children to read is no problem for me."
