Chapter 494 The Truth
Yun Qingqing looked at Xiao Changheng quietly, thinking about how to start the conversation.
Finally, she slowly raised her hand and made a gesture. A faint light appeared on her fingertips. She lightly tapped her brows and slowly pulled out strands of white light from her brows, eventually forming a small ball of light in her palm.
Xiao Changheng recognized it. He had seen Yun Qingqing use this spell in the Fahua Temple. It was the Soul-Searching Floating Shadow.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand slightly, allowing the contents of the ball of light to unfold in front of the two of them.
Xiao Changheng looked carefully, and suddenly heard a woman's sharp voice coming from inside:
"Xiao Zirui! Are you really going to break our engagement?"
His pupils shrank slightly as he saw in the picture a woman in white standing high outside the bridge railing, her whole face covered with frightening pustules, roaring at Xiao Zirui, who was riding a tall horse on the shore and wearing auspicious clothes.
He stared at the woman in the picture. After a moment, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he turned to look at Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing nodded and said softly:
"This is what happened by the river, the day you first saw me, before your carriage came."
Xiao Changheng's heart was filled with shock. He turned back and stared at the scene again, watching the entire confrontation between the woman on the bridge and Xiao Zirui.
Until finally, the woman became discouraged.
“That’s all…”
The woman laughed miserably and said in a miserable voice:
"Xiao Zirui, today I..."
But she couldn't finish her words, as her body suddenly swayed and she fell off the bridge and into the river like a kite with a broken string!
Xiao Changheng's expression changed slightly and he turned suddenly to look at Yun Qingqing.
She just gestured to him to continue reading.
Various insults from the onlookers were heard on the screen:
"Ah! She really jumped!"
"Why bother? You want to get married but you're threatening to die..."
"Marriage is supposed to be a matter of mutual affection, but the prince doesn't like her, and he chose to jump into the river when she was about to betrothal. Isn't this intentional disgusting?"
"That's right. Such an ugly and vicious woman is not even as good as Miss Su's toe. She deserves to die..."
Xiao Changheng frowned tightly and stared at the river water in the picture. Suddenly, he saw a figure swimming to the shore and climbing up.
Then came Xiao Zirui's condescending ridicule:
"You are really good at swimming, and you even pretended to jump into the river to commit suicide. Do you really think I will be fooled by you?"
"Yun Qingqing, I'm telling you one last time, I will never marry a sinister and vicious woman like you! If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Changheng's eyes turned cold and his brows furrowed, but he saw the woman on the ground raised her head, revealing the pair of pure black eyes that he had engraved in his heart at first sight.
He heard the woman's familiar and ostentatious mocking voice:
"Your Highness, don't take yourself too seriously. From now on, you can marry whoever you want. I'm not interested in scumbag men!"
Yun Qingqing raised her hand, and the picture stopped abruptly and disappeared with the wind.
The surroundings fell into silence again.
Xiao Changheng stood there quietly, digesting the information he had just seen.
He has always had a quick mind, and he had guessed some things about Yun Qingqing in recent days, but the truth was so vividly presented before his eyes that it was still difficult for him to digest for a while.
Especially since the cause of this incident was Yun Qingqing saying that the Queen...
Yun Qingqing was not surprised to see Xiao Changheng standing there in a daze without saying a word for a long time.
She sighed softly, drew a magic array on the ground, took Xiao Changheng's hand, and said softly:
"I'll take you to a place."
Xiao Changheng let her pull him into the formation. The scenery around him suddenly became blurred, the wind whistled in his ears, and they arrived at another place in just a moment.
He looked around and found that he was in the mountains and there was a farm not far away.
The position of the sun has not changed much from before, which means this place is not far from the capital and should be in the suburbs.
Yun Qingqing saw through his guess and explained:
"This manor and the surrounding land were given to me as a dowry by my grandfather."
She led Xiao Changheng to a grave and said softly:
"The back of Zhuangzi is rarely visited and has good feng shui, so I placed it here."
Xiao Changheng looked at the tombstone with a complicated look.
The name engraved on the stele was Yun Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
The two stood silently in front of the grave, speechless for a long time.
Xiao Changheng finally spoke:
"So she died after she fell into the water?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"He has already been reincarnated."
She thought for a moment and added:
"Don't worry, she has great merits, and she will be extremely wealthy in her next life, and live a long life."
After the original owner drowned, her body took in Yun Qingqing, the savior. Her merits were immeasurable and she would enjoy blessings for many lifetimes.
Xiao Changheng's eyes were still fixed on the tombstone, his expression solemn:
"So you're saying... her falling into the water wasn't voluntary, nor was it an accident?"
Yun Qingqing turned her head and looked at him directly:
"I have a big divination that cannot possibly go wrong... The Queen sent someone to throw her into the water."
Xiao Changheng turned his head to meet her gaze, speechless.
He never doubted that Yun Qingqing's hexagram would be wrong.
Yun Qingqing continued:
"The girl was already extremely disappointed with Xiao Zirui, and she just wanted to make things clear. Her last words meant that she would have nothing to do with Xiao Zirui from now on."
"But before he could even open his mouth, he was hit hard on the back of his head and fell into the water and died."
"I was able to survive by accident in her body, so from the perspective of others, no one was killed... but such a young girl, a life, was killed!"
Xiao Changheng was speechless.
Yun Qingqing's voice was a little harsh:
"Killing someone means paying with your life. Karma is retribution. The culprit of this incident must pay the due price!"
Xiao Changheng met her sharp gaze, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at the tombstone again, his voice hoarse:
"You're not here to ask for my opinion, just to inform me, right?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips slightly and nodded.
She also turned to look at the tombstone, sorting out her complicated feelings.
She really only needed to inform him, but...if that was all, she didn't need to tell him so much.
She hoped more that Xiao Changheng could understand.
"Why do you want to tell me?" Xiao Changheng suddenly asked in a low voice.
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned, not understanding whether he was referring to the fact that he was going to take action against the queen, or that the original owner had passed away.
Xiao Changheng didn't look at her and continued in a low voice:
"In fact, if you secretly attacked the queen, I wouldn't notice it at all... Why did you tell me?"
Yun Qingqing turned her head, looked at his handsome and elegant face, and asked:
"So you want me to handle this without telling you?"
Xiao Changheng paused for a moment, then he was silent for a while, then he slowly let out a sigh and shook his head gently:
"It is indeed hard for me to accept this. But..."
He turned his head and met Yun Qingqing's gaze, and his cold expression seemed to relax:
"Thank you for telling me the truth."
Yun Qingqing felt relieved, nodded slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a vibration coming from the white jade ring.
She was stunned for a moment, took out a jade token from the ring and held it in her hand, her expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Changheng noticed her strangeness and immediately asked:
"What's wrong?"
Yun Qingqing said nothing, pulled him over, and started to set up a formation with her other hand, saying urgently:
"Something happened in the Yun Mansion!"
