Chapter 475: Suicide out of fear of crime
Qiao Wanyan: "What's the matter?"
Zi Yuan: "Chen Zishan came to Penglai Tower to look for Chen Lingyi, but was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was the guard of the princess's mansion. Chen Zishan did not rashly break in, but he did not leave downstairs."
Shen Lingyi felt hopeful when she heard this. She didn't know what Qiao Wanyan wanted to do by trapping her here, but it must be nothing good.
It’s great that my brother comes to see me now.
Qiao Wanyan was not surprised, and the location was set at Penglai Tower because she knew that someone coming to look for Shen Lingyi would not be intruded and taken away.
"Let him go. Send him back to the Shen residence through the back door, and don't cause any trouble on the street."
Shen Lingyi was sent back to the Shen family through the back door. After she returned home, Shen Zishan got the news and hurried back.
Lu Gousheng was killed on the boat, and Qiao Yihuan was stabbed in the heart and is still in danger.
When a newlywed couple bestowed by the emperor encountered such a thing, the government office was no longer qualified to deal with it, and the case was transferred to the Dali Temple for trial.
Qiao Wanyan got the news from Qiao Rushi that Qiao Yihuan was also an innocent person, and Lu Gousheng's death was not traced back to her. The murderer was still being tracked down, but the Second Prince issued a death order that the case must be closed within half a month.
Qiao Wanyan didn't care that Qiao Yihuan would be judged as the murderer of Lu Gousheng. She was also hit by a fatal blow at that time, so she had no suspicion no matter how you looked at it.
If Lu Gousheng had not been killed, the Qiao family would not have been implicated, and people would not have been talking about the fact that she killed Lu Gousheng because she was dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage arrangement.
Qiao Yihuan was going to die, and dying at the hands of the Dali Temple would be a waste of all her forbearance and planning for so long.
At the end of the You hour, the last ray of setting sun slashed across the roof, and the golden light was gradually covered by the gray-blue twilight.
A guest came to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, and Jiang Qiyun was a little surprised that Miss Shen would come to visit.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Lingyi said, "I have something I want to tell the young marquis."
Jiang Qiyun raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you have to fart, let it out."
Shen Lingyi: "Qiao Yihuan has not escaped from the predicament after being assassinated. Do you know who is the murderer behind it?"
Jiang Qiyun was not interested, "Who it is has nothing to do with me?"
Shen Lingyi thought of many possibilities. The young marquis immediately went to the Shangshu Mansion to confront Qiao Wanyan, and immediately went to the Dali Temple to sue Qiao Wanyan, the real murderer, but she never expected that he would have such a calm and even indifferent reaction.
"We don't even know if Qiao Yihuan can save her life, don't you care?"
Jiang Qiyun was a little impatient, "What does it have to do with me whether she is dead or alive?"
Shen Lingyi was stunned and confused. He had defended Qiao Yihuan in every possible way at the entrance of Shangshu Mansion that day, but now he was like this???
Is this correct?
Jiang Qiyun stood up and said, "If you come to me again and waste my time for this kind of thing, I will have you kicked out."
After saying this, he stood up and left.
Shen Lingyi was driven out, and when she returned to the Shen Mansion, she happened to meet Shen Chunlai.
"Where have you been? You were played around by someone and almost killed your whole family, and you still don't learn your lesson and go out running around?!"
Chen Chunlai was furious, it would have been fine if she was schemed by that old immortal Qiao Rushi, but she couldn't even beat a guy of the same age. What a waste of his blood in her!
If he had known this, he would not have stopped his son from having a concubine. If he had two more, he would have smart children to support and train, and he wouldn't have to worry about it every day!
Shen Lingyi was domineering outside, but she said timidly in front of Shen Chunlai: "I went, I went to Jing'an Marquis's Mansion to find the young marquis."
"What do you want to do with him?" Chen Chunlai asked with a frown.
Shen Lingyi lowered her head and said, “The young marquis likes Qiao Yihuan. If he knew that it was Qiao Wanyan who plotted against Qiao Yihuan to kill her, he would definitely not let Qiao Wanyan go!”
“Bang!”
Shen Chunlai slapped Shen Lingyi in the face, knocking her unconscious. She couldn't recover for a long time and her head was buzzing.
Chen Zishan ran over and supported her, "Grandfather, what are you doing? Lingyi is not in good health, you should talk to her properly if she did anything wrong."
Chen Chunlai scolded, "You went to the young marquis to complain about Qiao Wanyan, what's the difference between that and going to me to complain about your brother? Qiao Wanyan still has evidence of your murder in her hand, and you still dare to act recklessly, don't you think it's not enough to harm your family?!"
Shen Lingyi was puzzled, “I don’t understand, I don’t understand what my grandfather is saying.”
Chen Chunlai was furious. "The young marquis liked Qiao Yihuan in the past. They had a falling out a long time ago. Now the young marquis goes to the Shangshu Mansion every now and then. Do you think he is going to see Qiao Yihuan? He is going to see Qiao Wanyan!"
Shen Lingyi was stunned and muttered to herself, "How could it be..."
She clearly saw the young marquis defending Qiao Yihuan, and clearly saw the young marquis preparing a gift for Qiao Yihuan...
"Come here, lock the young lady in the room and don't let her step out of the door! Just reflect on yourself in the room. How many stupid things have you done since returning to Beijing? Did I let you return to Beijing to make you lose face for the Shen family and even destroy the Shen family?!"
Shen Lingyi's legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground, but Shen Zishan held her up.
"Lingyi, Grandfather was just angry for a moment. You should have a good rest during this time. Grandfather may say these angry words, but he won't ignore you."
Shen Lingyi cried and said, "Brother, I am so stupid. I was deceived by Qiao Wanyan. I was deceived so badly by her!"
She just came to her senses now. The scenes she saw were all guided by Qiao Wanyan from behind.
The rumor that the young marquis still likes Qiao Yihuan is all fake.
She was using her jealousy to attack Qiao Yihuan!
Shen Zishan sent Shen Lingyi back to the study, "Grandfather, this is the calming soup, drink it to calm your anger."
Chen Chunlai snorted coldly, "I shouldn't have taken such a useless child back."
The Shen family's position was becoming increasingly precarious. They had originally wanted to bring Lingyi back to the capital to consolidate the Shen family's position in the court through marriage, but they didn't expect to cause so much trouble.
"The evidence of Lingyi's murder is in the hands of the Qiao family. It may appear in the Dali Temple someday. If the evidence is really sent up, Lingyi will commit suicide out of fear of the crime and hang herself in her room."
Chen Zishan was stunned, "Grandfather?"
Shen Chunlai said in a deep voice: "We can't destroy our entire Shen family because of one person. You are the heir of the Shen family, you should know the big picture."
"No! That's my sister, my real sister!"
Shen Chunlai was dissatisfied: "It's not as important as your future, nor the future of the Shen family. You are not a child anymore, stop saying those childish words."
"Keep an eye on her during this time. If you let her run away again, I'll hold you accountable!"
Chen Zishan was speechless and couldn't utter a word.
"Where is the maid named Chu Lu?"
Chen Zishan was silent for a long time before he whispered, "He's dead. He was killed by bandits."
Chen Chunlai sneered, "Qiao Rushi, that treacherous man, actually raised such a daughter who is so decisive and clean in killing. God is really blind."
