Chapter 92 Liu Yueru is dead

Outside the door, Pei Chong, wearing a raincoat to protect himself from the rain, called over an officer and asked, "What happened to the Ruan family?"

The officer recognized Pei Chong and hurriedly replied, "Nothing happened to the Ruan family, but something happened to the Liu Mansion in Lihua Lane."

"Lihua Lane?" Pei Chong's eyes darkened. Isn't that where Liu Yueru lives?

Pei Chong was just about to ask what happened when the chief police officer came out and ordered everyone to leave quickly. He had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to ask.

He'an did not follow out, which was not surprising. After all, he was the prime minister and did not need to handle the Jingzhao Prefecture case personally.

But the prefect sent someone to convey the message, which shows that the matter is not small.

Because of the rain, the wedding ceremony was much simpler. On the way back, Pei Chong ordered his confidant to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire. Liu Yueru did not show up today, so something must have happened. Otherwise, given her hatred for He An, she would not miss this good opportunity to take action.

The weather was chosen to send the bride off, as the heavy rain washed away most of the joy, and it instead felt like a casual gathering with friends and relatives visiting.

He An accompanied Ruan Qinghuan and the guests to dinner before returning home, which gave the Ruan family enough face. As soon as they left, everyone praised them, "Yunzhi, you are so lucky to have such a good aunt. Look at how caring he is to Qinghuan. The young couple is so sweet and their life is so sweet."

"He'an is impeccable in both talent and character, and has a good temper, so I don't have to worry about them."

"Good temper?" Someone raised his voice: "I'm afraid he is only good to Qing Huan. I heard that the Prime Minister is cold and unkind."

This caused a burst of laughter.

This is true. People who hold high positions are naturally different from ordinary people. If they cannot maintain that dignified and serious demeanor and act without some thundering means, how can they win the support of the people?

"Oh, you guys are really good at talking. The He family delayed the marriage for two years, clearly wanting to cancel the engagement. What's the point of doing these superficial things now?"

Zheng Qiaohui, who came in the rain, heard these people's flattery from a distance and felt very sad. Today was obviously Xiaoyue's wedding, but they didn't say many auspicious words.

Hearing this, the elders in the clan turned cold and said, "It's not appropriate for Second Madam to say this at this time."

"That's right. Your daughter has just gotten married, so you really shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings. Besides, the past is the past, and the present is the present. From what we saw today, it is enough to prove that Qinghuan and the Prime Minister have a very good relationship."

Old Mrs. Ruan coughed twice. She didn't want to be laughed at, so she signaled Zheng Qiaohui to help greet the guests. It was obviously her daughter's wedding, but she waited for everything to be ready, and it was all thanks to the eldest wife's face.

Originally the old lady had been feeling unhappy for quite some time because of the division of the family property, but now it seems that it is better to separate them, as out of sight, out of mind.

Also let her know what it means that life is hard. Otherwise, no matter how much she gets, she will never be satisfied and will just take it for granted.

"Liu Yueru is dead?" Ruan Qinghuan was shocked. Although she didn't like Liu Yueru, she was shocked to see a living person die like this. "How did she die?"

He An's eyes were indifferent: "The officer just said that it was Qu Yuancheng who did it."

"Isn't Qu Yuancheng in prison?"

"I heard that Qu Yuancheng had contact with the jailer and escaped during the day off. He must have been so angry with Liu Yueru that he did not leave the city immediately but returned home. When the police arrived at Liu's house, he was already dead."

He An didn't tell her the details, as he didn't want Ruan Qinghuan to waste his time on such a vicious woman.

Ruan Qinghuan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He just felt that the world was insignificant and fate was playing tricks on people. Liu Yuru had planned everything, but ended up with such a tragic ending.

He An changed the subject: "I heard that you arranged for Wei Xi to work at the Ruan family's rouge shop?"

He'an originally planned to send his cousin back to Jing County, but when he heard that she went to work in a rouge shop, he guessed that it was Ruan Qinghuan's idea.

Ruan Qinghuan was not sure whether what she did was right or not: "I just think that instead of forcibly sending her back, it is better to wait for her to see clearly and think things through. By then, she will not have any complaints even if she leaves Beijing."

"Aren't you angry at what she did?"

"Angry, how could I not be angry?" Ruan Qinghuan rolled her eyes at him. "But after spending some time with her, I found that Mingxi is just a child, she doesn't have any bad intentions. The reason she acted like that was simply because she felt that I stole her cousin and she was not convinced."

"Madame did grab it, and she won."

Ruan Qinghuan rolled his eyes and said, "Prime Minister, could you please be more serious?"

"No, I can't show my true colors in front of my wife." After saying that, he pecked her on the lips unexpectedly.

He has lived for more than twenty years, fought in the battlefield, and entered the court. Only he himself knows how much hardship and helplessness he has paid to reach his current position.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The higher you are in a position, the less likely you are to make mistakes. Over time, he will become more and more inhuman and less willing to worry about other meaningless things.

Until the emperor decided to arrange a marriage for him, forcing him to welcome Ruan Qinghuan into the family...

Ruan Qinghuan, who was described by others as arrogant and unreasonable, gradually overturned his perception after entering the mansion.

She was rational and sober, never acted on impulse, and even remained indifferent to Liu Yueru's provocations, and never caused trouble for him.

Of course, she must have hated him in her heart at that time, but even if she didn't hate him, she probably wouldn't care.

He was so lucky that there was no mistake between them, allowing him to accompany her, take care of her, and cherish her for the rest of his life.

After returning to the Xiangfu, the rain had subsided. The two returned to Changchun Garden. Ruan Qinghuan wanted to discuss the opening of the pawnshop with He'an. Seeing that he looked hesitant, Ruan Qinghuan frowned and said, "It's so late, are you still going out, sir?"

He An: "I have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture. The Liu family's case involves loyal heroes. Ji Lingchuan and I have to go and take a look."

When Liu Zhongju was mentioned, Ruan Qinghuan understood: "You go ahead, we'll talk about our family affairs tomorrow."

Inside Jingzhao Prefecture, there were several corpses lined up, two of which were Qu Yuancheng and Liu Yueru's, and the rest were people who had committed the crime together with Qu Yuancheng.

Ji Lingchuan arrived earlier than him: "This Qu Yuancheng is really cruel. He found these hooligans to rape Liu Yueru, and then put drugs in the tea, hoping to poison them to death and silence them so that he could get away with it. Unexpectedly, one of them didn't drink much, and in a fit of rage, he killed him too. So, no one was left alive in this case."

Jingzhao prefect was sweating profusely. Since the orphan girl of the Liu family came to Beijing, she had been the cause of many troubles. Now that she had died in such an embarrassing way, he didn't know how to report it to his superiors: "My Lords, the Emperor has been annoyed by the Liu family for a long time. What should we do about this matter?"

He An: "The murder in the house was caused by the discord between the husband and wife. This case will be reported to the Dali Temple, and the prefect will not have to deal with this hot potato."

"Yes, thank you for your instructions, sir."

Coming out of the government office, Ji Lingchuan said with a smile: "I told you, it's not your character, He'an, to not take revenge."
