Chapter 1097 Gong Ya Cuts Off the Fire from Underground
Gong Ya plans to strike at the root of the problem and kill Gong Ershao directly.
Without the Second Young Master Gong, Madam Gong would be unable to arrange a marriage with the Duke of Liu's family, and her deal with Madam Dong would also fall through. In that case, she wouldn't need to be forced to marry that disgusting man.
Moreover, now that Meng Yunzheng is back, she has framed him for Gong Chang's death, and Madam Gong will definitely not let him off the hook.
This was a brilliant idea that killed two birds with one stone: with both young masters of the Gong family gone, she would become the only young lady in the Gong family.
Even if her father had neglected her, he would care about her more by now, and her marriage would definitely be settled without any hesitation.
"This Gong Ya... is quite cunning at such a young age."
Shu Yu couldn't help but sigh that if this method were implemented properly, it would indeed be a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "Indeed, none of the members of the Gong family are without deep scheming."
Including himself.
Shu Yu couldn't help but reach out and grasp his hand. "And then?"
Meng Yunzheng shook his head. "Then, she succeeded. When I returned to the Gong family, I was not only alive and kicking but also able to talk. This was too much of a shock for Madam Gong and her son, throwing them into a panic, which gave Gong Ya the opportunity to make her move."
After Gong Chang's death, not only Madam Gong, but even Gong Qiu, first suspected Meng Yunzheng.
But Gong Qiu reacted quickly: one son was dead, and even if the other son was the murderer, he couldn't let anything happen to him. Besides, there was no evidence yet to prove that he killed Gong Chang.
However, he underestimated Madam Gong's grief over the loss of her son. With Gong Chang dead, all her hopes and dreams were gone. She wished she could take the Gong family down with her. How could she care about the Gong family's reputation and future?
Madam Gong made a big fuss about the matter, and poison was found in Meng Yunzheng's room. In addition, Zhao Xi was a doctor, so Meng Yunzheng became the murderer with no way to defend himself and was taken away by the government.
Shu Yu frowned. "So Zhao Xi is also in the cell?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Actually, at this time, it's safer to be in prison than outside."
Shu Yu understood his implication and lowered her voice to ask softly, "So you deliberately fell into Gong Ya's trap because... things are about to get chaotic outside, and the Fifth Prince is planning to take action?"
Meng Yunzheng said that his daughter was both intelligent and perceptive. He nodded slightly. "Gong Chang is dead, Madam Gong has gone mad at home, and I am in jail as a murderer. The Gong family is in complete chaos. Even someone as shrewd as Gong Qiu would inevitably lose his composure. Once he loses his composure, he will reveal many flaws."
Shu Yu's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Then his affair with that person in the palace will be easily exposed."
She understood; this was why Meng Yunzheng had fallen into the trap.
If the murderer is found on the spot, Gong Qiu will only be angry for a moment, but he will be able to calm things down quickly and the Gong family will not be in chaos.
Now that Meng Yunzheng is in jail, Madam Gong is eager to kill him and is undoubtedly trying to find evidence of his crimes outside.
Miyagaoka couldn't suppress the matter even if he wanted to.
Shu Yu understood his plan and nodded slightly. "When can you leave?" Even though she knew that Lord Jing was there and Meng Yunzheng wouldn't suffer too much, she still couldn't help but worry that something unexpected might happen.
Meng Yunzheng did the math, “I’ve been here for three days, so it should be about one or two days. It’s about time.”
No sooner had they finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
