Chapter 162 The King Didn’t Notice
"I went to the temple to burn incense, and then went to a room to copy scriptures. I don't know when I fainted. When I regained consciousness, I was already in the back mountain. My body..."
Mrs. Gu couldn't continue talking.
In the past, she really hated the murderer who killed her, but now she knows that it is her own sister, and she was misled and suffered so much in her childhood.
She really couldn't hate her, after all, Yuting was innocent.
"Go back to the Chu family." Jiang Yunxi said. She had to find Chu Yuting to ask. Her and Qin's souls were still in the Chu family. They would probably have to wait until the funeral was over before they would leave.
Madam Gu will probably go to the underworld with them then.
The two carriages left the temple quickly.
"Ask someone to secretly check this temple to see if there is anything unusual." Jiang Yunxi said to the man who was sitting upright.
"Well, do you have any other doubts?" Zhan Beiyuan wanted to hear.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him, "Since that man appeared in the capital more than thirty years ago, he must have followers in the capital. Do you remember the Wenxin Marquis Mansion?"
Zhan Beiyuan nodded, "You mean, the ancestor of Wenxinhou Mansion is a follower of that person?"
He didn't forget about the ghost slave.
"It's very likely." A cold chill flashed in Jiang Yunxi's eyes. The old man was seriously injured by her last time, and he was probably recovering from his injuries during this period.
Now that she has returned to the capital, if he recovers, he may come again to take her blood.
She was looking forward to his coming.
Don’t go back this time.
"I will go to the mansion of Marquis Wenxin to search." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"I don't think we can find anything in the Wenxin Marquis's Mansion, but we can keep an eye on another person."
"who?"
Jiang Yunxi smiled lightly, "Concubine Li, she is the sister of the former Marquis Wenxin Lu Ze'an. Don't you think her appearance is very special?"
Zhan Beiyuan said calmly, "I didn't notice."
He has never paid attention to women, so naturally he didn't know what was special about Concubine Li's appearance.
Jiang Yunxi thought about how he didn't like women. "Next time you go to the palace, you can look at her appearance, and then look at the queen and the other concubines, and you will see the difference."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"I'm serious, you have to observe." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan responded. She asked him to observe, so he just observed.
"In short, you sent someone to secretly keep an eye on her. Logically speaking, no matter how well she took care of herself at her age, she would not be as young as she is now. She must have used some evil magic." Jiang Yunxi said.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan said seriously.
The carriage soon arrived at the Chu family.
Jiang Yunxi found Chu Yuting, and her and Qin's souls were in the Chu family.
"How did you kill your sister back then?" Jiang Yunxi asked directly. Although it was painful for her to recall the past, this was what she should say. Madam Gu was the most innocent person in the whole thing.
She is also the kindest.
After learning the truth, she truly let it go and no longer harbored any resentment towards the person who murdered her sister.
Chu Yuting glanced at Madam Gu with a guilty look in her eyes. "It was Su who gave me the advice back then. I persuaded my sister to go to the temple outside the city to burn incense, and I lit some incense in the room where the scriptures were copied in advance."
"After she fainted from the incense, Su's men entered through the window of the house and took her to the cliffs behind the mountain. I cut her face with a knife, and then with another knife..."
At this point, her voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly continue.
At that time, she really hated him and wanted to kill him, without any regard for sisterly love.
Now when she recalls what happened that day, she feels guilty, regretful, painful and devastated.
"Wait, wait until my sister wakes up, then I'll stab her heart with a knife, stab her twice more, and then kick her body off the cliff, smashing it to pieces..."
After saying this, Chu Yuting squatted on the ground, holding her head in pain and crying silently.
Madam Gu took a deep breath and walked towards her slowly. "Everything is over. It's over. The Su family is the culprit."
Chu Yuting kept shaking her head, she was the murderer.
Jiang Yunxi had a cold expression and did not sympathize with Chu Yuting. Although she was deceived, she did kill someone. Even if this account went to the underworld, she would have to bear the corresponding punishment.
As for Madam Gu, she will have a good place to go in her next life.
"Are there any people from the temple involved?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"There should be. She was probably bribed by the Su family." Chu Yuting said. The Su family did not let her do it herself. She arranged everything for her. She just killed her own sister.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhan Beiyuan.
Zhan Beiyuan understood, "Leave this matter to me."
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan did not stay any longer and left the Chu family directly.
"Which cell is Zhen Mingyue in?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"Dali Temple." Zhan Beiyuan said. That was his place. Guan Zhen Mingyue's cell was independent and ordinary people could not find it at all.
"I want to take my grandmother to see her."
"Right now."
The two went to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. When Jiang Jing'an heard that they were going to the prison to see Zhen Mingyue, he said that he wanted to go too. He had also seen Zhen Mingyue when she came to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion twenty-two years ago.
At that time, it was completely impossible to tell that she was such a vicious person.
…
Dali Temple prison cell.
Zhen Mingyue sat slumped in the cell, looking very sloppy and disheveled. He no longer looked as wealthy as he did in Jiangzhou. Now he looked like a beggar.
"Cousin, long time no see." The old lady said lightly, suppressing the hatred in her heart. If it weren't for Zhen Mingyue's evil deeds, the Duke of Yingguo's mansion would surely be full of descendants by now.
Zhen Mingyue didn't move or make a sound.
"I never thought that one day I would see you in such a miserable state. I heard that your eldest son died and the Mu family doesn't want you anymore. How could they want a vicious woman like you?" The old lady felt very happy. She knew that Zhen Mingyue cared about her husband's family the most.
She wrote so many letters back then and finally came to the capital to find her in person, all for the sake of her eldest son entering the officialdom, and even more for the reputation and status of her husband's family.
For so many years, she had worked hard to help the Mu family prosper. After twenty years of prosperity and wealth, she was finally divorced.
This must have hurt her the most.
really.
Zhen Mingyue opened her eyes, but there was no light in them. She had been unable to understand why the Mu family was supported by her. Without her, how could they have achieved such wealth and glory?
Why did the Mu family divorce her and cut off all ties with her as soon as the incident happened?
"Zhen Huanning, are you very proud now?" Zhen Mingyue said gritting her teeth.
"Yes, I am very proud. Although you have placed an extermination array on the Duke of England's Mansion, at least the Duke of England's Mansion is safe and sound, unlike you, whose family is broken up." The old lady deliberately said these words to provoke her.
She hated it, how could she not hate it?
She would rather Zhen Mingyue had murdered her than harmed the entire Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
Hearing the words "family destroyed and loved ones killed", Zhen Mingyue's eyes were filled with resentment, and then she laughed out loud.
