Chapter 118 My heart suddenly felt cold, as if there was a hole in it.



"If Lord Yu thinks he can pin the blame on me like this, then he's being far too frivolous."

"Even though Lord Yao is not here now, as long as I have a breath left, I will definitely ask him to seek justice for me."

Yu Qian laughed: "Don't keep bringing up the name Lord Yao."

"Although I don't know why Lord Yao is speaking up for you, the facts are the facts, and you can't escape them."

Although Wei Wei was very angry, she wasn't mentally impaired.

Even under these circumstances, she could still keenly sense that although Yu Qian's attitude towards her was still very hostile, there was no murderous intent in his eyes.

Does this mean that he wasn't actually as angry as he appeared?

Wei Wei glanced at the corpse covered by a white sheet, and then remembered what he had just said to Madam Wei.

He told her to think again about who Shaoyu had a grudge against in the past.

A look of realization finally flashed in his eyes, followed by a surge of fury!

"Does Lord Yu find it amusing to tease me like this?"

She looked at him and asked, word by word, "I don't know what kind of magic I possess that makes Lord Yu care about me so much?"

"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by scaring me time and time again and making me feel afraid?"

Seeing that she wasn't falling for his tricks, Yu Qian finally chuckled softly, but after a few words, his expression turned cold again.

"Mrs. Meng is indeed clever."

He looked at her and said, "Now I finally believe what Guard Wu said. It was you who came to our rescue outside."

This time, Wei Wei sneered: "What difference does it make whether I saved you or not? I don't expect the master to be grateful for my kindness and give me a slightly nicer look, do I?"

She said, "Please tell me directly what Lord Yu intends to do."

"I can't take this kind of torment anymore."

Yu Qian nodded: "You guessed right, we have examined Shao Yu's body in detail."

"I also saw the marks on her neck where she had been strangled."

"Hands that are too large are not the features of a woman."

Wei Wei twitched the corners of her mouth. If she hadn't been covering her mouth with a handkerchief, she would have clapped her hands loudly a few times: "Lord Yu has finally seen it. It's truly a rare sight."

Yu Qian straightened his face, ignoring her sarcasm, and said, "The purpose of my calling you here this time is very simple. I just want to ask you why you are in Ping'an Temple."

His expression was complex and strange: "Where you are, there is never peace."

"Mrs. Meng, do you think I'm right?"

Wei Wei felt that what he said wasn't entirely wrong.

"This was an accident."

She said, "I didn't want to either."

Yu Qian asked, "What exactly is your purpose in coming to Ping'an Temple?"

"Now I want to hear the truth from you."

"I pray to Buddha to bless my husband and mother-in-law, and hope they will return soon."

"It can also protect me from bullying."

She spoke frankly.

"As for why we're spending the night here, the first reason is that it's too late. The second reason is that Mrs. Qi's husband doesn't want to leave."

“I came with her, so naturally I should accompany her.”

"Qi Yuan? That idiot?"

Yu Qian discerned a Daoist meaning in his words: "He doesn't want to leave Ping'an Temple?"

“Yes.” Wei Wei nodded at him. “He insisted on coming along, and he also refused to leave.”

Yu Qian asked, "Why won't he leave?"

Wei Wei shrugged: "Just a silly boy, he does whatever he wants."

Yu Qian pressed on again, "Then do you know how Qi Yuan suddenly became stupid?"

"I heard that he used to be a successful young master in Loucheng."

Wei Wei looked speechless: "Why are you asking me why I'm being silly?"

She bluntly said, "Even if I know, given our relationship, it doesn't seem like we're at the point where we can talk about anything, right?"

Why do you think I would tell you?

Yu Qian was speechless.

He knew Wei Wei somewhat.

She can be quite nice at times, but when she gets stubborn, nothing can change her mind.

He had no hope of getting anything useful out of her.

Instead of asking her, go see for yourself.

His gaze was fixed on Wei Wei's disgusted face, as if he were looking through her at someone else.

A slight sense of melancholy.

This sent a chill down Wei Wei's spine.

That's really crazy.

"There's nothing more for me here now, so shall I leave?"

Yu Qian regained his senses and raised his voice slightly: "Send Young Madam Meng to the courtyard, and then bring Young Master Qi over."

Wei Wei's eyes flickered, and a hint of a smile crept up her face.

She pressed back forcefully, her tone tinged with worry: "He accidentally injured his mouth last night. It would be best to call his wife over as well, otherwise we might not be able to get a single word out of him."

She knew that Yu Qian seemed to have a natural incompatibility with her, and the more she said that, the less likely he would agree.

They would be even more likely to think there was something fishy about what she said.

Now, even if Qi Yuan's mouth was killing him, he had no choice but to speak.

Great, let's see how far he can go in faking it.

Hearing Yu Qian's disapproving voice: "Just bring him here alone. If he doesn't agree, drag him over!"

Wei Wei was very satisfied; the stench in her nose seemed to have lessened.

After leaving the bamboo house, she looked around but did not see Madam Wei again.
