Chapter 62: Shocking Secret
Lin Hongrong came to visit Qin Mingzhu with a lot of things.
Her face was full of smiles, and her demeanor was very kind: "This is a snack I made myself, and this bird's nest is very valuable. My sister went through many stores to buy this treasure..."
She put the things she brought on the table, then looked at Qin Mingzhu, her eyes full of guilt.
"It's all my fault for not being careful. I almost got my sister-in-law and the young master into trouble. Hongrong apologizes to my sister-in-law!"
As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to Qin Mingzhu.
Qin Mingzhu sat motionless on the bed, looking at the other person with a smile in her eyes.
That look clearly said, just keep acting.
Lin Hongrong's expression froze, and she raised her head with some confusion and looked at Qin Mingzhu. Seeing that the other party was just looking at her quietly without saying anything, she couldn't help swallowing, and her face became even uglier.
"Sister-in-law... I know you will definitely blame me. As long as you tell me what to do, I will definitely make it up to you..."
Qin Mingzhu finally spoke.
"Why did you do this?"
"What?"
Lin Hongrong looked bewildered, and her smile was slightly awkward: "What does sister-in-law mean by this? Hongrong doesn't quite understand."
"You understand."
Qin Mingzhu sat up straight, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"Although we are both daughters-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion, there shouldn't be much conflict of interest between you and me. Or is it because you want to take control of the family that you are attacking me?"
Lin Hongrong's expression gradually changed.
He became confused and stunned, as if he didn't understand why Qin Mingzhu said that.
"Sister-in-law, when did I ever attack you? And what about the power to be the head of the family? What do I want to do with it? Even if you let me be the head of the family, I still hate the trouble."
She didn't sound fake when she said this.
It seems very sincere.
Qin Mingzhu looked at her and listened to the attitude in her words, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
She had to make it clear today, otherwise there would be a poisonous snake hidden in this mansion, which would be very troublesome for her.
"I didn't know about it before, but after a little research, I found out that the Marquis had a mistress, and that person was actually your cousin."
Lin Hongrong's expression was frozen, and the smile on her lips became much more hypocritical.
"The Marquis doesn't have any concubines. Sister-in-law, are you mistaken?"
"You're not mistaken. The woman's name is Ling Ying'er. The death of the previous wife seems to be closely related to her. She has been entangled with the Marquis for many years. It was only because Old Madam Yan felt that she was not clean and had worked as a dancer that she refused to let her enter the Marquis's mansion. Her mother had remarried, and that family treated her very badly, which is why she was reduced to performing arts."
Lin Hongrong's eyelids twitched. "Even if that woman is my cousin, what does she have to do with me?"
Seeing that even after saying this, Lin Hongrong still refused to admit it, Qin Mingzhu suddenly smiled and touched behind the pillow, then took out a slightly yellowed talisman paper and threw it on the table not far away.
"You must have seen this thing before."
The smile on Lin Hongrong's face completely disappeared.
Her face was tense, and she still shook her head: "What is this?"
"The old lady happened to meet a Taoist priest who said that the child in my belly was doomed to fail. So after the interrogation last night, the governor immediately arrested this fraudulent Taoist priest. This is the talisman he was carrying, which is exactly the same as the one in the old lady's hand."
Lin Hongrong's expression returned to normal, with a slight fluctuation in her eyes.
"It's a good thing that the culprit was caught..."
Qin Mingzhu nodded, seeming to agree with her words: "It is indeed a good thing, so after interrogation, the other party confessed everything, saying that a lady in the Marquis' Mansion gave him money and told him to say this."
Lin Hongrong lowered her head, her eyes becoming increasingly deep.
Qin Mingzhu looked at her expression and said word by word: "So, why do you do this?"
Some things don't stand up to scrutiny.
As long as there are clues, we can follow the thread and uncover a lot of things.
This is what Yan Fengxiao is best at.
Qin Mingzhu herself didn't expect that she just told Yan Fengxiao some of the truth she knew, and she had a good rest for the night. When she woke up, Yan Fengxiao was able to mobilize the secret guards and find out so many things.
Before this, Qin Mingzhu only had a little suspicion about Lin Hongrong and never thought that this matter was really arranged by her.
It's hidden really deeply.
From the very beginning, he tried to please her, as if he wanted her to do something for him.
When she was about to give birth, she was given some midwifery drugs. Everything seemed to be fine, as if the other party was on her side.
But what is the reality?
All of this is just a means for Lin Hongrong to attract other people's attention.
Just to hide his true purpose.
Lin Hongrong clenched her fingers into fists slightly, and the smile on her face became a little strange, seeming to be fake.
All the evidence has been presented, so no matter how much she denies it, it will be useless.
Yan Fengxiao was truly terrifying. In such a short period of time, she thought she had done everything properly, but she didn't expect to be exposed anyway.
The key point is, where did he find that Taoist priest?
She had clearly given the other party money to let him leave the capital.
"Sister-in-law, that Taoist priest is a liar. Don't believe what he says, and don't take it as evidence."
She suddenly stood up straight, and a smile appeared on her face again.
"If there is nothing else, Hongrong will not disturb your sister-in-law's rest today."
Lin Hongrong didn't explain anything.
But that smile said it all.
She turned around and was about to leave the room, but the next moment, she heard Qin Mingzhu say with a smile: "Don't leave so quickly, I still have something to say..."
Lin Hongrong paused and turned her head slightly to glance at Qin Mingzhu.
Since the other party has guessed everything, what else is there to say?
In a large mansion, even if everyone knows something, they may not be able to do anything to each other.
Even if she admitted today that she was the one who arranged for the Taoist priest to deceive Old Madam Yan, so what? The real people who did the evil were the Old Madam's men, and she was not the one who instigated the Taoist priest to do so. If you get to the bottom of it, someone will take the blame for her.
Qin Mingzhu said with a half-smile, "As your younger brother's sister, you're having an affair with your husband's brother. If this gets to the ears of the Second Young Master, what do you think will happen to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Hongrong's pupils suddenly contracted.
She just felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and she couldn't help shivering all over.
It was like being blown by a cold wind, and cold sweat broke out along my back in an instant.
"What did you say?"
There were some bloodshot eyes in Lin Hongrong's eyes.
The biggest secret in her heart was exposed like this, and her original calmness disappeared.
Qin Mingzhu said calmly, "Unfortunately, I had someone sort out the Marquis's belongings and found a bellyband..."
