Is Chapter 109 so bloody?
Xiao Jingfan couldn't understand why Chu Liuzheng, a girl from a farming family who had not received much education, had so many ideas that went against the world?
Is it all from that system?
His thoughts were already distorted by Chu Liuzheng's voice, but Li Youcai, startled by Princess Gaochang's sudden slamming of the table, still remembered to argue for his son.
"Princess, don't be deceived by this vicious woman. Everyone in this humble household can testify that those two unruly daughters-in-law committed suicide by jumping into the well. My son was not responsible."
He spoke with great conviction, and turned to look at Dong Yi, who had been waiting for a long time. "It was the Shuntian Prefecture's coroner who went to the Li Mansion to examine the bodies. Those two people undoubtedly committed suicide. Lord Dong should remember this."
Dong Yi: ???
What do you remember?
Li Youcai believed that he had sent a lot of tributes to Shuntian Prefecture, and was now confident that Dong Yi would speak for him. This was also the reason why he dared to lie in front of the emperor.
As long as Lord Dong stands on his side and speaks for him, how could His Majesty distrust his own subjects and instead believe a vicious woman who kills and burns people?
He looked sad, but in fact he was calm and waiting for Mr. Dong to stand up for him.
Xiao Jingfan looked at his beloved Dong Aiqing, "Is what he said true?"
Dong Yi stepped forward and bowed. "Your Majesty, Shuntian Prefecture receives dozens of cases, large and small, every day. This person's story doesn't require a court hearing, so I don't have much recollection. I'll need to check the records at the prefectural office to find out the truth."
"Oh?" Xiao Jingfan stared at him with a half-smile. "I see he seems quite familiar to you. You really don't remember him?"
"I don't remember." Dong Yi shook his head decisively and explained, "This is just the first time I've met this person."
[First meeting? Didn't the Shuntian government accept bribes from Li Youcai to beat up Zhao Yue's cousin and expel him from the Shuntian government office? This happened only a few days ago. You can't possibly accept money and not remember anything about it, right?]
Chu Liuzheng felt strange, but looking at Dong Yi's expression, it seemed that he really didn't know Li Youcai.
The melons produced by the system are absolutely authentic, but some information will be scattered on different melons and the host needs to sort and integrate it by himself.
Chu Liuzheng thought that he might not have eaten the whole melon, so he secretly opened the system and searched quickly.
[Let me see, I've seen these before, but these haven't... um... um? ? ]
[Frog Fun! The law of not dying after jumping off a cliff? Is it that ridiculous?!]
Xiao Jingfan who was eavesdropping:?
Jumping off a cliff and not dying, and there is a law? What is this?
Chu Liuzheng quickly scanned the gossip, then glanced in the direction of Dong Yi and Li Youcai, sighing in his heart.
[It's all fate! How would Li Youcai react if he knew that Mr. Dong was Miss Bai's current husband?]
[This Miss Bai is also lucky. After being pushed off the cliff by the scumbag Li, she was saved by Lord Dong who was reporting to the capital. If she hadn't died after falling off the cliff, she could have become the heroine of a novel.]
At that time, Lord Dong was still a minor county magistrate. He was anxious to go to Suzhou to take up his post, and Miss Bai was unconscious, so he left her at the clinic and asked someone to take care of her, hoping that she could return home on her own once she woke up.
Miss Bai was in a coma for six months. When she woke up, she had forgotten everything and no one. Her caregivers had no choice but to write a letter to Lord Dong... Wouldn't it be faster to report it to the authorities and ask them to help find her family? They'd have the time to write a letter... Oh, you reported it to the authorities, then just ignore what I said.
"Only six months have passed. Shouldn't the officials have figured out that Miss Bai was Li Youcai's first wife who 'fell off the cliff'?"
Chu Liuzheng continued to search with doubts.
Xiao Jingfan's curiosity was piqued. He glanced at Chu Liuzheng inconspicuously and ordered someone to go to Shuntian Prefecture to get the record book of the relevant case.
All these developments were beyond Li Youcai's expectations.
He looked at Dong Yi again and again, but Dong Yi put his hands down and lowered his eyes, ignoring him completely, which made him feel uneasy.
Mr. Dong wouldn't take the money and not do the job, right?
Zhao Yue was also a little confused. Wasn't this official in league with Li Youcai? Why did he say that he had only just met Li Youcai?
She couldn't figure it out, so she subconsciously looked at the jade pendant, trying to get an answer from her elder sister.
Yuzhui shook her head at her. She was even more confused than Zhao Yue.
[Here it is! ]
[Huh? Losing my memory can actually cure my love brain.]
After Miss Bai received clues about Li Zhazha's identity from the government, she became puzzled as to why her husband hadn't sent anyone to the bottom of the cliff to look for his body before proceeding with the funeral. So, before visiting him, she inquired about Li Zhazha's current situation.
Li Zha Zha had already remarried, and the Bai's Cloth Shop had become Li's Cloth Shop. Upon hearing this, Miss Bai suspected that her amnesia from falling off the cliff was caused by Li Zha Zha in an attempt to seize the Bai family's wealth, and out of fear, she dared not come to acknowledge him.
[Uh... although I'd much rather see Miss Bai fight back against Phoenix Man and reclaim his property, and other heartwarming plotlines, it seems a bit difficult for a simple lady who's been pampered since childhood and has lost her memory. Not letting Li Scumbag harm me again and damaging my mammary glands is still progress, I guess.]
Chu Liuzheng lowered his expectations and continued reading, wanting to know how Miss Bai married Mr. Dong.
Madam Dong fell ill and went to Beijing to seek medical treatment. Miss Bai, grateful for Mr. Dong's life-saving grace, did her best to take care of Madam Dong. Madam Dong thought Miss Bai was filial and sensible, and since her son was older and unmarried, she wanted to find a wife for him...
With this development, Chu Liuzheng could guess the subsequent plot without having to continue watching.
The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were nothing more than Mr. Dong accepting his mother's arrangement to marry Miss Bai and then have a baby. She read ten lines at a glance, and slowed down after reading only two lines.
ćIām sorry, I was wrong! ć
Chu Liuzheng knelt down in his heart and apologized for underestimating Miss Bai.
Miss Bai refused, citing mourning for her parents. Not wanting Li Zhazha to know she was still alive, she went to Suzhou with Madam Dong after she recovered.
She borrowed money from Madam Dong to open a clothing store, resuming her parents' business. Because she'd been influenced by her parents since childhood, her instincts remained despite her amnesia, and she quickly picked up the pieces. In just six months, she had the store flourishing, paying off her debts and even starting to save. Miss Bai and Master Dong became acquainted...
[Wow~ These two were able to get married because of something as rare as true love, and it was Master Dong who actively pursued her... Oh, Master Dong is really good at saying these sweet nothings!]
Now, Miss Bai has a pair of filial and lovely children, her only husband is her, and she has a career. She must be living a very comfortable life.
[Because he didn't want to be involved with Li Youcai anymore and thus tarnish Mr. Dong's reputation, he didn't take back the Bai family's assets... Well, respectfully, it's a half-happy ending, I guess. Spread the flowers~]
Chu Liuzheng ate half of the melon and happily simulated the sound of a salute in his mind, bang bang biubiu, which disturbed Xiao Jingfan's mind.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. Instead of making all these messy noises, why not first check whether Dong Yi had accepted bribes?
Just at this moment, the Jinyiwei who had gone to get something on a fast horse came back.
[Damn! I was so busy watching Miss Bai and Mr. Dong fall in love that I haven't done anything serious yet. For the sake of Miss Bai's hard-earned happiness after escaping death, Mr. Dong, please don't be a corrupt official!]
Chu Liuzheng prayed while browsing the system.
[Got it! Let me take a look...]
