Yun Zhu was silent for a moment before saying, "There are so many people coming and going during the day, I never thought the case would progress this far so quickly. I thought it would take at least until tonight to find out!"
Gu En chuckled: "So, did you miscalculate, or did your master miscalculate? Oh no, your master has already been killed by you, hasn't he?"
"I didn't kill the young master!" Yun Zhu immediately retorted, then said with a pained expression, "It wasn't me, I didn't kill the young master. It was those two damned vile women, it was all them. If it weren't for them, how could the young master have died?"
"If you didn't kill your young master, then who did?" Gu En continued to ask.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhu suddenly fell silent, completely immersed in her sorrow.
Gu En was very patient, quietly waiting for Yun Zhu to come out of her emotional state.
"My young master is learned, good-tempered, and a good person. He doesn't like Feng San or Feng Si. But those two wretched women keep pestering him. They finally came up with a plan, thinking they could get rid of Feng San, but unexpectedly, Feng Si has become clingy to him. It was all arranged, just a show for Feng San to see if he would give up." Yun Zhu's eyes were full of hatred, and she spoke through gritted teeth. "Feng Si is not willing to give up. She said that at worst, they would just break up. If Feng San finds out about this, no one will be happy."
"No, if your young master doesn't like Miss Feng, why not just tell the family directly? Why go through all this trouble? Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?" Gu En asked, puzzled.
“Young Master and Feng San are childhood sweethearts and cousins. Feng San is a cousin of the Qi family. Before her marriage, Madam Feng was the most favored daughter of the Qi family. If Young Master wants to annul the engagement without giving a reason, Madam Feng will make a scene, and the Master, Madam, and Old Master will definitely not allow it. If he says he has changed his mind, the family might not react so strongly,” Yun Zhu said.
Gu En frowned. What kind of bizarre logic is this?
The man in white raised an eyebrow. This young master Qi's thinking was truly extraordinary! Unless…
The man in white thought of a possibility: that directly stating the truth might be even more unacceptable than a change of heart.
That makes things interesting.
The man in white scrutinized Yun Zhu from head to toe as if he were choosing a girl from a brothel, and the more he looked at her, the more convinced he became of his own thoughts.
"Young master is such a good man, yet he has been ruined by those two women his whole life. Young master, you are so wronged!" Yun Zhu cried, crying very sadly, which was completely inconsistent with his burly appearance.
Even though it was late at night in the woods, it was still hot and humid in the sweltering summer heat. Gu En felt goosebumps rising on his arms.
“Stop crying. Since you came here to destroy evidence and said you weren’t the one who killed Young Master Qi, and you hate the Feng sisters so much, then you killed the Feng sisters? If that’s the case, then who is the murderer of Young Master Qi?” Gu En asked.
“I killed Feng San and Feng Si, but our young master…” Yun Zhu stopped there, tears streaming down her face again.
Gu En: "..."
"Shut up!" The man in white drew his sword and held it against Yun Zhu's neck.
"Hiccup!" Yun Zhu hiccuped in fright. Although she was still crying, she didn't make a sound.
Gu En understood. In the future, when encountering such situations, don't get upset. Keep a cool head and take action instead of talking.
