Chapter 739 Women are weak
Nan Yan leaned on his shoulder and was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Because he knocked on the door and someone called out, it was Sister Lian."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly, but after a moment, he immediately understood.
By the way, when Shi Eryi was talking about that story just now, he discovered that on the day Shi San disappeared, Shi Ye and that friend went to Shi San’s house. It was Shi Ye who went to knock on the door, and as soon as he knocked on the door, he directly greeted Shi Lian!
Nan Yan said, "You men may not notice, but when people come home, they usually call out the name of the man who heads the household. This is a very common thing."
“…”
"But, when I heard it just now, I felt that it was not right."
“…”
"This Shi also knocked on the door and called out to the hostess as soon as he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he knew in advance that the host was not at home."
“…”
"Shi San must have been killed by him."
“…”
"The body has probably been disposed of long ago. Plus, he's an official, so if he can fool the government a little, they'll just treat it as Shi San's disappearance. If things drag on for a while, they'll stop investigating."
“…”
"As for Madam Shi Lian, she didn't go crazy doing this because she gave birth to a stillborn baby. She should have discovered the truth, but Shi was also an official. In addition, she was pregnant with Shi San's posthumous child. In order to carry on Shi San's family line, she didn't want to reveal it too early."
“…”
"But, I also have to wait for an opportunity to seek revenge. Marrying Ishiya and staying by his side is the best way."
“…”
"So, when she gave birth to the stillborn baby, she clearly understood that her last glimmer of hope was gone, and she ruthlessly killed him that very day. Furthermore, the humiliation she endured for nearly a year had only engendered a deeper and more twisted hatred in her heart. Therefore, she poisoned Ishiya's entire family."
“…”
"He also poisoned himself."
“…”
"She used this method to give an explanation to her late husband and herself."
After hearing what she said, Zhu Feng's expression became very serious.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, she is a fierce woman."
“…”
"I never thought that a little woman like her could have such a character."
Nan Yan said softly: "Girls are originally very weak and seem to need protection. However, for the sake of the people they love, they can also become very strong and can endure a lot of grievances, even -"
Hearing her words, Zhu Feng looked down at her.
I don’t know how the woman named Shi Lian survived the longest ten months of her life many years ago.
He was filled with hatred, despised by everyone, and even suffered the immense pain of his mother dying of anger because of him.
Marry the murderer of your husband and sleep with him every night.
In the end, he killed so many people, including himself.
Finally, when she decided to kill herself, she should not feel any pain, and that would be a relief for her life.
Nan Yan raised her head and said, "Things like the evil ghosts the villagers are talking about are probably just rumors. However, it is rare for the Shi clan to have such a woman."
“…”
"Your Majesty, for her sake, can you please spare those people?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "After all, you still don't want me to kill them."
"Of course," Nan Yan said, "Although these people say some weird and superstitious things, and are indeed a bit dull, from their heart, they are still thinking about others. Moreover, think about the grievances they have suffered over the years——"
“…”
"I can actually empathize with the feeling of being despised and scorned by others."
Zhu Feng listened but didn't speak immediately.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Who told you to feel the same way?"
“…”
"You'd better forget this feeling completely!"
"Then Your Majesty—"
"I need to consider how to deal with the villagers of Jufu Village. Now, please stop trying to persuade me."
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him.
He spoke so decisively that Nan Yan had no room to speak again. After thinking for a while, she could only sigh softly in her heart.
She said, "Little Stone is imprisoned in the prison. Can I send someone to take care of him?"
"What?"
"It's very hard in prison. There's nothing to eat or drink. The child is so young, he can't stand it."
“…”
Her words reminded Zhu Feng that he had once thrown her into jail in a fit of rage.
She witnessed with her own eyes the harm she suffered in the Jinling prison.
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, reached out, and pulled her into his arms, then said, "Don't worry, I will tell the people down there. They're in prison and won't suffer any injustice."
When Nan Yan heard him say that, her eyes lit up.
Since Zhu Feng said that he would not let them suffer any injustice, then at least he would not kill them in the near future.
She nodded: "Yeah."
The two of them just sat together like this.
But after a while, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "By the way, who asked you to get off the car today?"
“…”
"Do you know how dangerous that is?"
“…”
"Those villagers are unreasonable and unruly. They almost hurt you just now!"
Nan Yan originally thought that he had forgotten about this matter, but unexpectedly, he still remembered to settle the score with her. She quickly admitted her mistake, clasped her hands together, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."
“…”
"At that time, I heard no noise over there and thought that everything was fine in the village."
“…”
"Also, I saw that child again, and I thought of bringing him over here and taking a look at the situation over there, but I didn't expect——"
“…”
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
This time she admitted her mistake very quickly.
But Zhu Feng was still furious. He gritted his teeth and twisted her face hard: "One day, I will strangle you to death!"
Nan Yan's mouth opened wide due to the pinching, and she mumbled, "Okay, Tai, I'll take the baby down with me."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng couldn't help but want to laugh.
But he finally held back and pinched her hard: "You!"
The two of them were chatting and joking, and the atmosphere was not so dull.
The carriage traveled for a long time and finally arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion. Just as they were about to enter the gate, news came from the other side that all the people in Jufu Village had been imprisoned and were awaiting their fate.
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng with some concern.
However, Zhu Feng remained cold and just asked them to detain those people before walking into the mansion.
However, as soon as I looked up, I saw a slender and beautiful figure standing in front of me.
