Yao Zidian knew about Yu Qian's abilities, and he wouldn't deny that Yu Qian had deliberately said those things.
Although I was very confused, I still cooperated with all my might.
"Guards! Lock this criminal in jail and await execution!"
"I'm innocent, sir!" Madam Wei cried out in anguish.
To her surprise, no one paid any attention to her. Two fierce-looking officials walked in from outside and were about to grab her and take her to the prison.
Now, the family she married into has long been ruined and destroyed by her.
If she goes to jail, no one will care whether she lives or dies. Even if she dies in jail, no one will hear her cries for help!
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" she cried out in terror. "I know Shao Yu! I know Shao Yu!"
Yu Qian's gaze sharpened, sensing the unusual fear in her eyes.
He paused, stopping the officers from taking the man away immediately.
Do you know why I brought you to the yamen (government office)?
He stared intently at her and asked.
Madam Wei had no idea! She was absolutely terrified when she was taken away!
"Shaoyu went to see you before she died, didn't she? When she came out, her face was ashen, and then she went to Ping'an Temple alone with Qi Yuan."
"That's where she was killed!"
"When Madam Wei was just murdered, do you know how chilling your expression was?"
"Smug? Mocking?"
“Mrs. Wei, you are far too cold-blooded.”
Madam Wei's face was completely drained of color.
She simply couldn't help but reveal her truest thoughts, how did she end up being discovered by such a coincidence?
At that moment, she felt as if she had lost her parents.
——
When Wei Wei left the yamen, her mother, father, and Wei Cheng were already waiting at the door.
Little Yue'er looked extremely anxious.
Upon seeing people come out, they all rushed forward to ask questions.
Wei Wei smiled and said, "We didn't do anything wrong, so of course we got out quickly."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they finally had time to speak with Wei Cheng alone.
"One of the ladies who went in with me just now is a daughter-in-law of the Wei family, just like Shao Yu."
“That woman is now desperate and has revealed many flaws that arouse suspicion. I subtly mentioned her problems to Yu Qian.”
"No matter how they investigate or what the consequences are, if they find you, you must insist that you know nothing."
She whispered, "Now that Madam Wei has been killed, there must be a reason. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
"You must be careful these days. I'm afraid those people will become desperate and do something drastic if they can't find what they're looking for! They might make everyone suffer a terrible fate."
Wei Wei's face paled slightly: "What should we do if they really resort to desperate measures?"
"I'm afraid my family members will get hurt."
Wei Wei remained silent for a moment, and a plan slowly took shape in her mind.
But she didn't want to say anything more at the moment.
Instead, he said, "Only three people died today, and Loucheng is already under martial law."
"That killer should be taking a break for the next few days. I'll figure out a way to get rid of him."
Wei Cheng looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a way?"
Wei Wei nodded: "I'm starting to get a clue, but I'll sort out the clues as soon as possible."
"Tell your family members not to go anywhere for the next few days. And bring back the guards you mentioned earlier, even if it costs a lot of money."
The two discussed it for a while before going home separately.
When parting ways with her parents, Wei Wei also seriously reminded them: "Don't go out casually these days. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret it."
Then he looked at Zhou Jin, who had been following not far away.
Wei Wei bowed slightly to him from afar: "I'm worried about the safety of my parents and younger brother."
Zhou Jin, who had been absent-minded with his arms crossed, immediately straightened up and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture when he saw Wei Wei being so polite to him: "Don't worry, Miss Wei."
Having received his promise, Wei Wei was indeed relieved.
After sending his parents back to the Wei residence, he had Leng Pusheng drive the carriage back to the Meng family.
It was almost dark by then.
Inside Tingfeng Pavilion.
Wei Wei finally had the chance to take the thing out of her cuff.
Her heartbeat gradually quickened, and she became very careful as she peeled back the layers of the white cloth.
What was inside the white cloth gradually came into her view.
It is milky white in color and oval in shape.
It wasn't as glamorous as the one she had deliberately sought out to deceive Meng Zhixuan.
It looks like an ordinary jade pendant.
It was about half the size of a palm, and it didn't even have a dragon or phoenix design on it.
It's something that you wouldn't look at again.
A hint of doubt flashed in Wei Wei's eyes, wondering how Madam Wei could be so sure that this was exactly what those people were looking for.
She placed it on the table and studied it carefully, but she had no clue whatsoever.
Just then, Xiaoyue asked her from the outer room if she could set the table now.
She raised her head and responded, but her sleeve accidentally knocked the teacup beside her off course, and a few drops of tea fell onto the jade pendant.
When she lowered her head again, the few places on the ordinary jade pendant that had been wet became translucent.
This made her eyes light up.
Without thinking twice, he took the jade pendant and dipped it directly into the teacup.
The jade pendant immediately became clear and transparent, and one could even see the shadow of the dragon and phoenix embracing each other in the center. It then began to move slowly.
Then they broke through the jade pendant and began chasing each other inside the teacup.
