Chapter 66 Yu Jianning, who doubts life
Zhao's pupils dilated infinitely in an instant, and she staggered and almost fell backwards.
"Mom!" Rong Yiyi quickly reached out and pulled her.
Shu Wan also reached out to support her.
"Say it again!" Zhao pointed at him with trembling hands, deceiving herself by wanting to hear a different answer from him. Her ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear anything clearly. Even her own voice seemed to come from far away.
"Madam! It was Jianning who failed to protect the master..." Yu Jianning kowtowed heavily again.
"My son!" Zhao let out a hoarse roar from her throat, which made people cry.
Rong Yiyi's face was covered with tears in an instant.
Shu Wan didn't cry. She felt sorry and sad, but she was sorry that she really couldn't empathize with them.
She felt regretful because she felt sorry for the loss of such a young life. She was sad because she felt that apart from his mood swings, Rong Chen was still a good person.
Zhao couldn't bear such a blow and her blood flowed backwards, causing her to faint.
"Mom!" Rong Yiyi called her anxiously, "Court doctor, court doctor!" In a panic, she only thought of finding the court doctor to save people.
"General Yu, go call someone!" Compared to Rong Yiyi, Shu Wan seemed much calmer.
If Rong Chen has unfortunately passed away, the most important thing now is to save Zhao. The dead cannot be resurrected, and none of them want this to happen, but since it has already happened, the living can only accept it!
"Yes!" Yu Jianning raised his head, turned around and ran out with red eyes.
Shu Wan, along with Rong Yiyi and several maids, sent Zhao to the inner room.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do, what should I do?" Rong Yiyi had never felt so helpless before. In the previous ten years of her life, Zhao and Rong Chen had always stood in front of her and she didn't have to worry about anything. But now, one of them was unconscious and the other had brought good news. She was suddenly at a loss. After seeing Shu Wan, she could only ask for help. Shu Wan was the only life-saving straw she could grasp now.
"Don't worry." At this moment, Shu Wan didn't have any other thoughts about Rong Yiyi, and just treated her as a child, "It's okay, grandma will be fine!" As for Rong Chen, she was powerless.
Yu Jianning quickly brought the court doctor over to take Zhao's pulse.
After taking the patient's pulse, the court doctor sighed and stood up.
"The old lady was so angry that she couldn't breathe, so she fainted. I'll prescribe a tranquilizer for her. She'll be fine after taking a few doses. But the most important thing is to comfort her. As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine!" The court doctor's words made it very clear. Zhao was feeling depressed, which led to this situation.
"Thank you, doctor!" Shu Wan thanked him. "Mammy, please send the doctor out and go get the medicine for me." But Rong Yiyi was still crying in front of Zhao.
"Yes, ma'am." After receiving the order, the nanny followed the court doctor out.
"Yiyi, you stay here and take care of your mother-in-law. If she wakes up, come and tell me. I will go out and discuss your brother's funeral with General Yu!" Shu Wan paused before continuing.
"Okay!" Hearing that she was going to handle her brother's funeral, Rong Yiyi was extremely sad and could only nod reluctantly.
"General Yu, please come with me so I can talk to you for a moment!" Shu Wan said to Yu Jianning, and then she turned around and walked forward.
Yu Jianning bowed silently, then followed Shu Wan out.
He couldn't help but secretly admire Shu Wan. When Zhao and Rong Yiyi were unable to bear the blow, she could still remain so calm and composed.
Or maybe she just didn't mean it?
"General Yu." After walking into the yard, Shu Wan stopped and called him coldly, "Tell me, how was Rong Chen ambushed, by whom, and how was he killed?" She had her back to Rong Chen and never looked back at Yu Jianning from beginning to end.
"Madam!" Yu Jianning didn't know if it was appropriate to address Shu Wan like that at this moment. He knew that Rong Chen and Shu Wan had never consummated their marriage during all these years of marriage. They were just husband and wife in name only. Now that Rong Chen was dead, the Shu family would not let Shu Wan remain a widow for the rest of her life. It wouldn't be long before they came to take her back.
"Two days ago, I received a secret letter saying that a spy from an enemy country had sneaked into Songyang County and tried to poison the county, causing civil strife in my Blackwater City. The city lord and his subordinates went to investigate. Afterwards, the lord who accidentally discovered the enemy's conspiracy was assassinated. My subordinates and the city lord investigated all the way, but we accidentally fell into the enemy's ambush. The enemy used a treacherous trick and the city lord accidentally fell off a cliff. When my subordinates found the city lord, he had already..." Shu Wan understood the rest of the words without having to say it.
"Take me to see Rong Chen's body." Shu Wan listened to Yu Jianning's inner thoughts and knew that he was not lying, so his voice became a little deeper.
"Yes." Yu Jianning hesitated for a moment, then agreed and led the way.
"Have you found out which country did this?" Shu Wan asked again.
"According to the clues, it's Beishuo!" Yu Jianning answered truthfully.
"I understand." Shu Wan replied indifferently. Since Yu Jianning said that it was the clue, it meant that the authenticity still needed to be verified.
Yu Jianning brought Rong Chen's body back and placed it in a fine golden nanmu coffin, which is now placed in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
The housekeeper has already taken people to quickly set up the mourning hall.
The coffin had not been closed yet, Shu Wan walked over to the coffin and took a look.
It was Rong Chen! That face was his. Yu Jianning had already tidied up his face. His clothes had been changed, so he didn't look messy. However, there were two noticeable wounds on his face. I guess they were caused by sharp stones when Rong Chen fell off the cliff.
Shu Wan really couldn't convince herself that the body in front of her was Rong Chen's, even though there was nothing suspicious about the face.
"How long after Rong Chen fell off the cliff did you go down and find his body?" Shu Wan didn't know why, but he asked with a bit of unwillingness.
"Madam, I followed them down in no more than a quarter of an hour!" Yu Jianning didn't know why Shu Wan asked this, but he had to answer truthfully.
"Didn't the people sent by Beishuo Kingdom to assassinate capture a single person alive?" If they were all dead, it would be really intriguing.
"No!" Yu Jianning blurted out almost immediately, "I caught a living person. He tried to commit suicide several times. I have already cut off his limbs and jaw, and have someone watching them all the time." Yu Jianning really couldn't keep up with Shu Wan's jumping thoughts. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been stunned.
"Bring him to see me! Shu Wan said word by word, "No, I'll go see him!" Shu Wan took another look at the body lying in the coffin, then turned around.
"Okay..." Yu Jianning answered blankly.
Then he took Shu Wan to the torture chamber. The killer who was caught in Beishuo was now bound by iron chains with his hands and feet. He suffered serious injuries, but they were all superficial and not fatal.
After Yu Jianning captured this man, he wanted to kill him countless times to vent his anger, but the last bit of reason told him that he could not kill him. He had to bring him back and hand him over to the people in the City Lord's Mansion for disposal.
Otherwise, this person would have died hundreds of times already.
Seeing the door opened and someone coming in, he raised his eyelids hard to look at the two of them, then closed them again.
They are just defeated generals and a woman who can do nothing to him. Why should he be afraid?
Shu Wan did not miss the contempt in his eyes, she walked over with a sneer.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Shu Wan squatted down patiently and asked him softly.
Hearing this, the other party turned his eyes away with disdain and didn't look at Shu Wan. The mockery in his eyes was too obvious.
How could there be such a stupid woman in the world who actually asked his name!
Even Yu Jianning shook his head slightly, unable to understand what Shu Wan meant by this.
"Look at me!" Shu Wan reached out, clamped his jaw, and forced him to look at her.
Although he was forced to look at Shu Wan, he remained unmoved and did not speak. Moreover, his jaw had been removed and he had no way of speaking.
"Oh, so your last name is Shen, and your given name is Zhe!" Shu Wan let go of his hand, slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said casually.
Hearing this, Shen Zhe's pupils dilated instantly and he looked at Shu Wan in disbelief.
"Why does she know my name? What else does she know?"
Yu Jianning, who has practiced martial arts for many years, naturally caught Shen Zhe's panic.
So, if nothing unexpected happened, the name that Shu Wan just said to herself was real? How did she know that? Something that even he couldn't figure out?
"Are you curious about why I know your name? And what else do I know?" Shu Wan had a bloodthirsty smile on her face. In Shen Zhe's eyes, it was like a nightmare from hell. He inexplicably felt a trembling and fear from the depths of his soul. It was the fear of being stripped naked from head to toe, inside and out.
"I know everything!" Shu Wan asked himself and answered himself.
"Who is this woman? How come she knows everything? Does she also know about this plan?"
The killer named Shen Zhe was full of worries. He always felt that the woman in front of him would do something bad!
"I know all your plans." Shu Wan continued leisurely.
Yu Jianning, who was standing behind her, wanted to say something but stopped himself more than once. Shu Wan had just learned about Rong Chen's death. How could she know all of his plans?
But he didn't say it after all. What if Shu Wan was cheating the other party? Wouldn't he be exposed if he said it! "Why does she know everything? No, she can't know. This plan is so thorough and foolproof. There is no way that any news can leak out. What if she really knows? This will bring disaster to us Chiyan. Is she cheating me? Yes, if she is definitely cheating me, I can't panic. Our plan is very thorough. All possible accidents have been imagined and dealt with. We have many auxiliary plans. She can't know so clearly."
Shu Wan chuckled and looked at him with mockery in his eyes.
"If you are stupid, you still know how to point the spearhead at Beishuo and put the blame on Beishuo. If you are smart, all the plans are under my control, but you still don't know anything!" Shu Wan shook his head helplessly.
At this point, Shen Zhe looked really dejected. He no longer held out any hope. Shu Wan already knew everything. She knew everything. Their plan had been completely leaked.
But he couldn't figure out how Shu Wan knew about their top-secret plan.
Hearing her say this, Yu Jianning almost bit off his tongue.
This assassination and frame-up was actually planned by the Chiyan Kingdom?
The way he looked at Shu Wan now was as if he was looking at a monster.
You might say she was making it up, but looking at her sincere and serious eyes, it doesn't seem like that at all. Add to that Shen Zhe's expression of despair, and it seems very believable.
It can be said that she really got the news in advance. Yu Jianning didn't believe it at all. How could she get the news that even Rong Chen and the others didn't get in advance? Is she a god? "Don't worry, I will definitely rush into your Chiyan country and kill all of you Chiyan with Beishuo who was framed by you." Shu Wan's eyes were full of coldness, and he exuded murderous intent.
In the eyes of these people, human life is too cheap, it is something that can be sacrificed at will.
The killer Shen Zhe couldn't help but think, it's over, Chiyan is the weakest country, and it will definitely be destroyed by Blackwater City and Beishuo. But then he thought again, they have a trump card that Shu Wan definitely doesn't know.
"Yes, there is still a chance. Rong Chen is still in our hands. Shu Wan has no way of knowing about this. We can use him as a threat when the time comes. We don't have to worry about Blackwater City not surrendering!"
The coldness on Shu Wan dissipated a lot immediately.
Rong Chen is not dead!
The body that Yu Jianning brought back was fake!
Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
"Don't worry, Rong Chen is no longer in your hands. I will bring him back personally. As for you, go and report to the underworld!" Shu Wan said, pulling out the hairpin on her head and stabbing towards Shen Zhe's chest, fiercely and accurately.
Before his death, Shen Zhe couldn't understand why Shu Wan knew all their plans.
He died with his eyes open.
After Shen Zhe was dead, Shu Wan stood up, took two steps back, and turned around without saying anything.
She knew how Yu Jianning would look at her, so she was not surprised at all.
"Let's go!" Shu Wan walked to his side, paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward.
Yu Jianning turned around and stood there for a long time without moving his feet, his scrutinizing eyes following Shu Wan closely.
After a long time, he followed mechanically. He felt that the ground under his feet was unreal and soft.
I followed Shu Wan out of the torture chamber, feeling dizzy all the way.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he almost stepped on Shu Wan's foot. He was so scared that he quickly took a step back and knelt on one foot to apologize.
I beg you all to support me. Please leave me a message to show your support. You are my motivation for writing.
