Chapter 766 Suicide by Poisoning
Shu Yu raised her hand. "Stop, stop, stop. Don't overthink it. It's not that complicated. I'm really miserable. I was really implicated and exiled here for no reason. I didn't want to come here to suffer on purpose."
Zhao Xi couldn't help but chuckle; he suddenly felt a little sorry for Shu Yu.
Cheng Dong turned his head and saw another man coming out of the room on the right.
He didn't know this person, but judging from how the young master didn't shy away from them, they must have a very good relationship.
Cheng Dong pursed his lips. He had one last question, "Lord Cheng, did you tell him about my identity?"
“Yes.” Meng Yunzheng felt that he should die knowing why, just like his good brother who died without knowing why, which was quite pitiful. “I thought Lord Cheng would deal with you, but I didn’t expect you to escape.”
"Hmph." Cheng Dong sneered, "In the end, didn't it still fall into your hands?"
He looked at Shu Yu and said, "I never expected that I would be defeated by you."
Shu Yu hadn't expected it either. "But you have to believe me, it really was an accident. I was just going out of town to visit an old friend. Why did you stop my mule cart? If you hadn't stopped me, you might have actually escaped."
Cheng Dong closed his eyes; he had indeed been careless.
Having resolved his doubts, Cheng Dong decided not to argue with them any further. He chuckled and asked Meng Yunzheng, "So what now? You arrested me, what do you want to know from me? Do you think I'll tell you?"
He had discovered that the poison hidden in his mouth had been removed, but it didn't matter; no matter how he was tortured, he wouldn't talk.
Seeing his resolute expression, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but ask Shu Yu, "Do you have something to ask him?"
"I don't have it, do you?"
Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment, "The only thing I want to know is the contents of that letter, but I don't think he'll tell me, and even if he did, it might not be true. As for the rest, he's been in this place of exile for many years, and he probably doesn't know as much as I do, so it's better not to ask."
Cheng Dong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Shu Yu nodded. "That makes sense."
Zhao Xi looked left, then right, his mind filled with questions. "If you have nothing to ask, why did you bring him back?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "I originally wanted to give it directly to Mr. Qi, but after thinking about it, I felt that he is an old acquaintance of yours, and he would be happy to meet him, right?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "I am indeed in a good mood."
Shu Yu knew that Meng Yunzheng, who loathed Gong Qiu so much, would be very happy to see Gong Qiu's trusted subordinates suffering and being deeply hurt.
That was her original intention in giving the gift.
Shu Yu felt relieved. Seeing that it was getting late, she clapped her hands and said, "Shall I deliver it to Mr. Qi now?"
"good."
Cheng Dong had been watching from beginning to end, and he had absolutely no idea what the two of them were thinking.
He was prepared to withstand all torture and interrogation, but it turned out they didn't intend to ask any questions at all.
What kind of mess is this?
Shu Yu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Meng Yunzheng, saying, "This is the poison we found in his mouth."
Meng Yunzheng glanced at him with some disdain, then took the handkerchief and approached Cheng Dong.
The latter's eyes widened. "What do you want to do?"
"Since you have poison in your mouth, it must be so that you won't betray your master at a crucial moment and will commit suicide instead. I will grant your wish now."
