Chapter 1535 I've seen that person before.
Kong Zhiyou first thanked Meng Yunzheng, then stepped onto the carriage using a footstool and sat opposite Shu Yu.
Shu Yu thought she should at least say thank you, but after she got in the car, she just lowered her head and remained silent.
Shu Yu, “…” If there’s nothing else, she’s going home; her grandmother is still worried about her.
Kong Zhiyou exhaled and looked up, saying, "Lu Xiangjun, I thought that this time you would take the opportunity to humiliate me and deal with me, to trample me underfoot, after testifying for Qiuju. I didn't expect... I was too narrow-minded. I'm sorry."
"Is this all you wanted to say?"
"Of course not."
So Shu Yu waited for her to thank her after she apologized, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to her.
Shu Yu asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
She didn't take it, so Kong Zhiyou took it back and said, "Actually, I lied about some things in court today."
Shu Yu frowned. "So?"
Kong Zhiyou pursed her lips. "I told the magistrate that I let Dongmei go home to reunite with her family because I was grateful for her taking care of me for many days. But actually, that's not it. I let her go back because I wanted to get something from my father-in-law's study."
"Get something?" Shu Yu's gaze unconsciously fell on the few pieces of paper in her hand.
Kong Zhiyou confirmed her guess, "Yes, that's it. When I learned the day before yesterday that my father-in-law would also be going out, I planned to have Dongmei go home. Then I would be the only one at home, and it would be convenient for me to go to the study to get it."
Is it... theft?
"I just didn't expect that my father-in-law would be home. When I went to the study, I heard a noise coming from inside, and I knew that something had happened. I was going to leave, but then I heard a loud noise coming from inside. I didn't want to get involved, but I couldn't help myself and went in to check. To my surprise, I found him lying on the floor with his eyes open, having flipped over onto a chair. He was already dead."
Kong Zhiyou was terrified and instinctively tried to run away.
After running a few steps, he came back and, after confirming that Chen Ji was indeed dead, he did not immediately report the case, but instead searched the study first before running out and shouting that someone had died.
At that time, she had no idea that Chen Ji was killed by Qiu Ju, but with no other suspects, she naturally dragged her enemy into the mess first.
Kong Zhiyou originally wanted to do something to directly point the evidence at Qiuju. However, she was delayed for a while while looking for something, and if she delayed any longer, it would arouse suspicion.
Besides, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If you accidentally do something foolish and get yourself into trouble, that would be bad.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu asked, "What are these pieces of paper? Why are you looking for them?"
Kong Zhiyou forced a smile, but her complexion was terrible, and her smile made her look older.
She said, "Qiuju didn't see that lecherous old man, but I did."
Shu Yu was startled and slowly sat up straight. "You saw it?"
“Yes, it happened about five or six days ago. I had just finished my postpartum confinement and was planning to go back to my parents’ home.” But when she was halfway there, she learned that her cousin, with whom she had never gotten along, had also gone back to her parents’ home. If she went back looking so miserable, she would definitely be ridiculed by her cousin. She didn’t want to be laughed at, so, “I turned back to the Chen family halfway.”
"Dongmei sent me back to inform my mother so she wouldn't wait for me at home. So I entered the house alone, but I didn't expect there to be a guest inside."
