Chapter 295 I'm Sorry to Disappoint You
Originally, Lin Xiafeng entered the Prince's Mansion without proper authorization. She only had a marriage contract with an unknown extension that the Prince had sent someone to notify her of, so it was impossible for her to take power directly.
Even if Concubine Zhao was gone, the Prince's Mansion still had a long-term nanny in charge and a housekeeper in charge.
As a result, as soon as she entered the door, the nanny's hand was cut and she might bleed to death. The housekeeper was stabbed through for no apparent reason.
In such a leaderless Prince's Mansion, with the little evil Mo Dacheng by her side, who would dare not listen to her?
Even she herself had thought that it would take some time to gain control of the Prince's Mansion. She had already prepared for a protracted war, but she didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly as if it was destined!
"Sister, there's something on that dagger!"
"Show it to me."
Mo Dacheng pulled out the dagger from the official's back without blinking. The official was not dead yet, but the moment the dagger left his body, blood gushed out.
The old butler fell to the ground powerlessly, staring at Lin Xiafeng who ignored him, and died with his eyes open.
The note was stained with blood, but the words on it were still clearly visible.
Lin Xiafeng knew in her heart that the dagger was obviously aimed at her, so she did not avoid Caiwei and Mo Dacheng. She guessed that there must be something bad written on it.
Letting them both, especially Mo Dacheng, see it will also let him know how some people bully her!
As soon as she opened the note, she regretted it. It contained no threats or intimidation, or sarcasm or ridicule, but the sad news of the demise of the Cangshan Sect.
The note clearly stated that it was written to the princess. It was self-evident which princess the Yanling Army would write the report to.
Mo Dacheng knew very well that Qin Qingyao knew that he was the one who brought the disciples of Cangshan Sect to kill her and the old lady, and she would wipe out the Cangshan Sect, so he had nothing to say.
But all that was his order, and he was the one who killed the old lady.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Dacheng, calm down first. This might be a complete set!"
Mo Dacheng shook his head. He didn't think this was a trap, because if no one had really been to the Cangshan Sect's lair, how could they know exactly how many people, silver, and food were there?
A total of eighty-six people died because of his negligence, including those brothers who were sent out to assassinate Qin Qingyao and never returned.
The Cangshan Sect had been in his hands for less than a year, and apart from the elites who were now by Lin Xiafeng's side and at her disposal, there were very few left.
He used to hate and despise Luo Haode so much, but now he realized that he was not as good as him.
Mo Dacheng's eyes were red and his hands were shaking. He lowered his head and tears fell to the ground. "I should have surrendered myself. If I had surrendered myself, they wouldn't have gone to the Cangshan Sect. She did this to force me to confess."
Lin Xiafeng, "Since we know her purpose, we should not let her succeed! Dacheng, the Cangshan Sect is gone, can't you see how vicious Qin Qingyao is?"
"Will she stop if you turn yourself in? Will she let the other people from the Cangshan Sect go? She won't! Don't be scared by her. Stay in the Prince's Mansion for the time being and don't go anywhere."
"Even if the Yanling Army had extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't dare come to the Crown Prince's Mansion to arrest anyone!"
Lin Xiafeng acted as if she was speaking for justice and was determined to support Mo Dacheng until death, but she didn't understand why Mo Dacheng was crying, and she didn't understand what Mo Dacheng was thinking at the moment.
It's not that Qin Qingyao is so vicious, but how sinful he is. He did something wrong but didn't dare to take responsibility, which is why he killed so many of his brothers. He is not worthy of being the leader at all!
That night, when Qin Qingyao saw that the murderer was him, the disappointment and anger on her face had caused Mo Dacheng to have nightmares for a long time.
He knew that he must have disappointed many people. He was too embarrassed to worship his parents, and even too embarrassed to see Luo Haode. What on earth had he done?
Mo Dacheng locked himself in the room, refusing to eat or drink. No one could understand him, and no one could comfort or enlighten him.
Mo Dacheng recalled everything that happened in the past year, but his mind was filled with images of swords and sabers.
My sister said that Qin Qingyao was a bad person and must die, but it was them who tried to kill Qin Qingyao again and again and finally killed an innocent person.
If they hadn't provoked him so many times, if he hadn't killed the old lady, why would the Yanling Army have bothered the Cangshan Sect...
How did he gradually get his hands stained with blood, to the point where he is responsible for so many lives today?
On the day of the old lady's funeral, he hid in the crowd and watched for a long time the people in the city crying and the people from all over the mountains and plains rushing to the funeral.
He killed an old man who was respected and appreciated by everyone, but he hid himself and let innocent people pay the price.
If he continues to hide, will more people lose their lives because of his mistakes?
"Sister, I'm sorry I'm going to disappoint you."
Mo Dacheng decided to turn himself in. He didn't want to hide in the dark all his life, and he didn't want to live in inner condemnation and torment all his life.
He knew that if he surrendered himself he would surely die, so before he died, he wanted to do one last thing for his sister.
He knew how much his sister hated Qin Qingyao. According to his sister, if Qin Qingyao didn't die, his sister would most likely die at her hands.
Therefore, before turning himself in, he wanted to kill Qin Qingyao personally for his sister. That way, he would die without regrets!
Mo Dacheng looked at the dagger pulled out from the butler's body. He had already thought about what to do, but he did not take any action.
Because whenever he thought of Qin Qingyao, all he thought of was the woman who had tried her best to help him solve the case, and the woman who looked at him with disappointment and heartache in the dark night.
She said she regretted helping him. She asked him why he had to hide behind a mask and become a ghost when he had the chance to be a human being...
"Princess, are you really the bad person my sister said you were?"
Mo Dacheng put away the dagger and slipped out of the Prince's Mansion under the cover of night without anyone noticing.
He did not go directly to assassinate Qin Qingyao, but returned to the small courtyard where he had lived with He Xiang before.
Since he followed Lin Xiafeng, he rarely came back, and since he left here, Lin Xiafeng has never come here again, so He Xiang should be the only one living here now.
But when Mo Dacheng landed in the yard, he heard a man's foul language and He Xiang's painful and high-pitched screams.
He thought someone was bullying He Xiang, so he kicked the door open and rushed into the room. What he saw was the frightened He Xiang, naked, hugging the fat man who was also frightened and naked.
"What are you doing?"
"Who is this brat? Didn't you say you live alone? What bad luck!"
The man pushed He Xiang away, got out of bed with his clothes and left. He Xiang hurriedly put on her coat and grabbed him, "You haven't paid yet!"
…
When He Xiang came out after getting dressed, Mo Dacheng had been sitting at the table for a long time. He really couldn't accept what he saw.
"Why did you do that?"
"To survive, what else could it be? Ever since you left here, no one cares about my life or death. No one gives me a penny. How can I eat and drink without relying on myself?"
"On your own, that's what you're doing?"
"That kind of thing? Haha, what do you know? I'm already twenty years old. If I go to work as a maid in someone else's house, will anyone want me? I'm a broken-down woman with nothing. What can I do? I have to survive!"
Mo Dacheng looked at He Xiang, who was so self-righteous and felt no shame at all, and suddenly realized that he didn't understand her at all. Perhaps, he had never really understood her.
"I came here today because I have something to ask you."
"No time."
"About Princess Wu Ling?"
"Her? That bitch will die a miserable death. Sooner or later, she will be struck by lightning and sent to hell!"
"Why do you hate her so much?"
"Why? Haven't I told you a hundred times? Without her, how could I have fallen to this point today? Without her, I would have become a concubine of a wealthy family and enjoyed wealth and glory!"
"It's all her fault. She deserves to die!"
He Xiang clenched her fists and screamed desperately, not caring that it was the middle of the night. Then Mo Dacheng took out a small white pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
He Xiang quickly scratched her throat, "Mo Dacheng, what are you doing? What did you give me to eat?"
"My sister gave me the Five Puppet Powder. Don't worry, I won't hurt you or ask you to do anything. I just want to hear some honest words."
He Xiang ran to the side and tried to hold her throat to vomit, but the Wukui Powder dissolved in water and had already been swallowed by her.
Mo Dacheng ignored her curses and ordered, "You will tell me the whole truth, tell me why you were kicked out of the Qin family, tell me why you hate Qin Qingyao so much, tell me who she has hurt, tell me the truth, not your imagination and your curses!"
Mo Dacheng watched He Xiang tormenting herself coldly, then she slowly calmed down and stood in front of him.
"I hate her because she killed my love."
"who?"
"Liu Shiyuan. He is Aunt Pan's nephew. Aunt Pan promised me that as long as Liu Shiyuan and Qin Qingyao get married, she would let me be her aunt."
"What did you say? Liu Shiyuan wanted to marry the princess and take you as a concubine? This is ridiculous. How could the princess agree to this?"
"Her consent is not needed. Aunt Pan said that as long as Mr. Liu's parents agree, it won't be Qin Qingyao's turn as his wife to have any say!"
"As long as Mr. Liu marries her, the Liu family will prosper. Mr. Liu will definitely be able to enter the official career with the help of the Qin family, and I can also enjoy the glory and wealth."
"I loved him so much that I even gave him my pure body, but Qin Qingyao actually broke us up and sold me out!"
