Chapter 800: No matter how careful you are, you can’t guard against a thief in your own home!
He Suowei's expression suddenly changed, "Stop talking!"
Song Yanxi said calmly: "Let him speak."
Seeing her calm face, without any sign of embarrassment at being exposed, Li Zhuang, who was originally full of confidence, lost most of his arrogance in an instant.
He couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, she had clearly killed so many people, how could she still be so complacent like now.
Isn't she afraid when she can't sleep in the middle of the night? Isn't she afraid of retribution?
Seeing Li Zhuang's retreat, Song Yanxi reminded him coldly: "You only have one chance."
Even though she was good-tempered and willing to sit down and listen to him slowly, others did not have that patience.
Besides, she didn't think Li Zhuang deserved a second chance.
The Yan family is wealthy and doesn't mind having one more mouth to feed, but they are not so generous as to spend money to keep an ungrateful person around.
Not to mention, it's the kind that might bite people at any time.
Li Zhuang clenched his fists and asked angrily, "You are the ones who brought the epidemic to the border town, right?"
Song Yanxi: "You're right."
If Wen Qi had not been afraid of Mo Jinchuan's influence in the army and wanted to take this opportunity to trap him to death, perhaps the people in the border town would not have suffered this unexpected disaster.
"Listen, she admitted it!" Li Zhuang's voice was so excited that it became a higher pitch.
He looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Mom, you must have heard it in heaven! The murderer confessed it himself!"
Li Zhuang wiped his tears and glared at Song Yanxi, "You've killed so many people, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of "crackling" from the interlocking bones could be heard one after another around.
But Li Zhuang was so angry that he only wanted to avenge his mother and had no time to care about anything else.
He stared at Song Yanxi with resentment, and said word by word: "Why don't you just die!"
Li Zhi shouted angrily, "Don't stop me, let me tear his mouth apart."
Hearing his voice, Li Zhuang turned his head and looked at him, questioning: "Your parents and relatives are all dead, don't you want to avenge them?"
He pointed at Song Yanxi, his emotions becoming even more agitated. "She was the one who killed everyone. She was the only one who should have died..."
He Suowei interrupted him angrily, "Shut up!"
Song Yanxi was not annoyed at all and followed his words, "The ones who should have died were me and His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Li Zhuang's face flushed. "They are right. You really did it on purpose!"
As if he had discovered some incredible secret, he grabbed He Suowei's arm and said, "Uncle, you heard it, my mother shouldn't have died.
It was they who caused the innocent people to lose their lives."
He Suowei pried open his fingers one by one, his face icy as he said, "Sometimes I really doubt that you're so stupid, maybe you're not my biological child."
Li Zhuang asked in disbelief: "Uncle, they killed Mom. Are you going to stand on the side of the murderer?"
In this regard, He Suo chose to remain silent.
He couldn't accept that the child his elder sister had carried for ten months and risked almost her life to give birth to was such a stubborn fool.
Taking advantage of his dazed look, Li Zhuang pushed him hard and said viciously: "You are the same as them, you deserve to die too!"
He Suowei was completely unprepared and staggered two steps after being pushed by him. Fortunately, Ziheng rushed forward quickly and supported him, preventing him from falling.
Li Zhuang was not in a much better condition. The more strength he used when pushing the person, the more painful the wounds on his body were.
His face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You owe Border Town hundreds of lives?"
In that fierce epidemic, a total of 37 people, including He Chunhua, including the elderly and children, died of the disease.
Although the number of people is not small, it is definitely not as outrageous as the hundred people he said.
Afraid that bringing up the past would upset them, Mo Jinchuan specifically ordered on the way back that no one should mention anything related to the border town in front of them.
Not to mention, the number of deaths is clearly a matter of exposing people's scars.
Song Yanxi's eyes were sharp for a moment, "Where did you hear these words from?"
Li Zhuang almost collapsed and yelled, "I'm asking you, not you asking me!"
His eyes were filled with hatred, and he was shaking with anger. "If you really have nothing to hide, why don't you dare to tell the truth?"
Facing Li Zhuang's questioning, Song Yanxi remained calm.
She asked coldly, "Are you sure you want to hear the truth?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Li Zhuang's eyes, "What do you mean?"
Ziheng's eyes were cold, "Stupid and unaware."
Look at He Suowei standing aside. Although he said nothing, his cold expression clearly said, "He has nothing to do with such a fool."
Li Zhuang saw their reactions and was even more confused.
It was obvious that Song Yanxi was the culprit who killed the people in the border town, but they were unwilling to pursue the matter and would not allow him to seek justice for them.
What benefit did she give them?
It would be fine for others, but his uncle had clearly made a vow to pass the imperial examination, become an official, and do practical things for the people.
Now, he only knows how to protect this murderer.
Li Zhuang couldn't help but question, "Mr. He, how dare you say I can't tell right from wrong?"
He pointed at Song Yanxi, his voice tinged with tears, "Your life was given by my mother. She killed my mother and now you are helping her.
How can someone like you be qualified to take the imperial examination and become an official? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into deathly silence.
Everyone didn't even see how Ziheng did it. They just saw a figure flash in front of them and heard Li Zhuang scream like a pig being slaughtered.
But the former obviously had no intention of stopping.
Mo Jinchuan stepped forward quickly and separated the two men.
But what he said was, "Don't dirty your hands."
Ziheng had a stern face and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
He stared gravely at Li Zhuang, who was covering his face and screaming, and said coldly, "If you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you."
After he finished speaking, He Suowei stood up.
Under the night sky, he stood upright in his blue shirt, and his integrity as a scholar was not broken at all by Li Zhuang.
Just as Song Yanxi heard in her previous life, he is who he is, and no matter what outsiders think or say, he remains true to his original intention.
It’s true that Li Zhuang is his nephew, and he once promised He Chunhua in his dream that he would take good care of her bloodline left in this world.
But it would never happen to him to help his relatives without helping others.
Right is right, wrong is wrong.
He Suowei said in a cold voice: "Ziheng, let me tell you."
"Sir!" Several voices spoke at the same time.
There is tension and worry, and even more anger. Why do I feel worthless?
They all saw how good he was to Li Zhuang during this period, and they were truly jealous of him.
This ungrateful person is not worthy of being your nephew!
He Suowei ignored the children's attempts to stop him and spoke directly, "Over the past half month, I've repeatedly spotted Li Zhuang secretly going to the back door of the Yan Mansion after dinner to meet with Princess Shihan's adopted son."
"Liu Goudan!" Li Zhi's eyes widened and he angrily said, "What did I say? This Li Zhuang is an ungrateful person!"
He hurriedly looked at Shen Qingyun, “Madam, Liu Goudan is the ungrateful wolf who stole the medicinal herbs in the border town and gave them to the bad woman!”
Shen Qingyun's face suddenly darkened, "No matter how much defense you take, it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home!"
