Chapter 2172 What did you do wrong?
The fact that Zhao Xiaoxi was Yuan Wenye's daughter could no longer be hidden, so Madam Yuan simply admitted it. After all, they were both her own people.
However, she was determined not to admit that Zhao Xiaoxi's death had anything to do with her, and she was also afraid that Madam Yuan Er and Madam Peng would become suspicious, so she stated it first.
As a result, Madam Yuan Er and Madam Peng did reduce their suspicion of Madam Yuan Da a lot, but they still didn't completely believe her.
However, even if it was really related to Madam Yuan, they would not tell anyone. After all, it would not benefit them in any way.
"Yes, we understand." Madam Yuan Er and Madam Peng immediately expressed their opinions.
In fact, Yuan Wenye didn't know about Zhao Xiaoxi's death. At that time, he and Madam Yuan just discussed giving Zhao Xiaoxi a sum of money and letting her leave the capital and never have anything to do with the Yuan family in her life.
Therefore, Yuan Wenye always thought that Zhao Xiaoxi just took the money and left.
Here, Madam Xu and her companions were still eating and chatting.
"By the way, Gu Ning, what do you think are the chances of Jingchen and Beiying being together?" asked Madam Xu. Although Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying are already boyfriend and girlfriend, Zi Beiying's family is in the Dipu Xinlan Kingdom, so she is still worried that they can't be together.
"It's hard for me to say about this. After all, matters of the heart depend on the person." Gu Ning said, it's hard to judge the matter.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's mood became a little unhappy. She was really worried about her son's emotional affairs!
"You don't have to think so much. If it's his, he can't run away. If it's not his, you can't keep him even if you force him." Yan Min comforted him. Things like feelings really can't be forced!
"Yes! You don't have to think too much about it, just let them develop on their own!" Jing Yunyao also comforted.
"I just can't wait for them to get married right away!" said Mrs. Xu.
That night, Madam Yuan had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhao Xiaoxi came to seek revenge on her, and she was so scared that she screamed in her dream.
“No, no, no…”
Madam Yuan's movement immediately woke up Yuan Wenye, who was lying beside her.
Yuan Wenye woke up and saw that Madam Yuan was having a nightmare, so he immediately went to shake her: "Yuru, wake up, wake up..."
Madam Yuan’s real name was Zheng Yuru.
Zheng Yuru didn't wake up, and continued to shout in fear: "No, don't come to me, don't come to me, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you..."
When Yuan Wenye heard this, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Zheng Yuru said "I didn't kill you", how could Yuan Wenye be a simple-minded person? From a psychological perspective, Zheng Yuru said that, so no matter whether she killed this person or not, this person's death is related to her, otherwise why would she dream that the other person came to her! Who was the person who was killed? Yuan Wenye is not a timid person. For the sake of profit, he has harmed many people, but he has never killed anyone.
Therefore, no matter how brave he is, he is still afraid of killing people.
At this moment, Yuan Wenye did not call Zheng Yuru to wake up, but asked: "Who was killed?"
Although Yuan Wenye was not sure if he could get the answer, he still had to give it a try. Some people can actually get words out of them when they are talking in their sleep.
"Zhao Xiaoxi, Zhao Xiaoxi, don't come to me, don't come to me, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you..."
I don’t know if it was because Zheng Yuru heard Yuan Wenye’s question or it was just a coincidence that Zheng Yuru said Zhao Xiaoxi’s name.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Wenye was shocked and full of disbelief.
What? Zhao Xiaoxi died? And it was related to Zheng Yuru?
Didn’t she tell him that she gave Zhao Xiaoxi some money and asked her to leave the capital and not have anything to do with the Yuan family?
But now... Although Zhao Xiaoxi is just an illegitimate daughter and is not liked by Yuan Wenye, she is still his daughter after all. If she just leaves the capital, it's nothing, but if she dies, he will still feel sad.
The most important thing is that Zhao Xiaoxi’s death was related to Zheng Yuru, which made him a little unacceptable.
"Zheng Yuru, wake up." Yuan Wenye immediately pulled Zheng Yuru roughly a few times and shouted angrily.
This time, Zheng Yuru was awakened. Because of the nightmare, Zheng Yuru was sweating profusely.
After discovering that the horrific scene just now was just a dream, Zheng Yuru was relieved immediately. However, when she saw Yuan Wenye staring at her with a gloomy face, she was a little confused: "Husband, what's wrong?"
Zheng Yuru knew that she had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhao Xiaoxi came to seek revenge on her, but she didn't know that she had said something she shouldn't have said and was heard by Yuan Wenye. So she didn't associate Yuan Wenye's expression with his knowledge of Zhao Xiaoxi.
"You had a nightmare," Yuan Wenye said solemnly, suppressing his anger.
Zheng Yuru didn't think much about it and replied, "Yes!"
At this time, Zheng Yuru was still a little frightened.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
"What did you dream about?" Yuan Wenye asked.
Zheng Yuru felt guilty when she heard this, and her eyes could not help but evade: "It's nothing, it's just that I dreamed of ghosts..."
"Ghost? Have you done anything wrong?" Yuan Wenye asked, still suppressing his anger.
"How is that possible?" Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuru subconsciously denied it. However, because she was too quick to deny it, she seemed even more obviously guilty.
"How long are you going to keep this secret from me? Tell me, have you done anything to Zhao Xiaoxi?" Yuan Wenye couldn't bear it any longer and asked angrily.
Zheng Yuru was stunned when she heard this. How did he know what she had done to Zhao Xiaoxi? Could it be that she had just told the story in her dream?
"You killed her, right?" Yuan Wenye asked. Of course, he was lying to her.
"It's not me, it's Song Yang..." Hearing this, Zheng Yuru retorted subconsciously. She didn't want to be misunderstood as the murderer of Zhao Xiaoxi, but once she said this, it was tantamount to admitting that she was related to Zhao Xiaoxi's death.
Because she knew that it was Song Yang who killed Zhao Xiaoxi, but she never told Yuan Wenye, which meant that she was in cahoots with Song Yang.
But the words were already out and could not be taken back. Seeing Yuan Wenye's exposed expression, Zheng Yuru immediately explained: "Wenye, listen to my explanation. Zhao Xiaoxi's death was really not caused by me. It was Song Yang who did it..."
"Since you knew that Song Yang killed Xiaoxi, why didn't you tell me? And you let him marry into the Zheng family? Do you think I would believe that this matter really has nothing to do with you? I think you were the one who instigated this matter." Yuan Wenye said. The loss of function was so obvious that only a fool would believe that it really had nothing to do with him.
