"Bang"!
Around the hour of Xu.
The two Dali Temple guards who were waiting at the back door of the Si Mansion were suddenly startled by a loud noise.
When they followed the sound, they found that a person had fallen from the sky. In the light of the lantern hanging high above the door, they could clearly see the face of the person on the ground.
"Si Tianyu?"
A Dali Temple guard who recognized Si Tianyu's identity was immediately excited.
Their duty was only to check the people and items entering and leaving the government office, but they didn't expect that someone would do a good deed and throw the person that Lord Yao, the Minister of the Dali Temple, specifically wanted to arrest here.
This unexpected achievement is truly a blessing from Heaven...
Soon, Si Tianyu was escorted to the Dali Temple. Yao Jinyu, the Dali Temple Minister who had already returned home, rushed back to the Dali Temple overnight to try the case.
Si Tianyu finally realized his true feelings and was betrayed by Nangong Chen. He was disheartened and confessed everything he had done.
Si Tianyu not only explained how he used the Si family caravan to transport kidnapped children to Xiangyang Temple, but also how he deliberately approached Meng Lishi, how he used him to gain power, and how he ruthlessly had him thrown into the cold pond as a cover for poisoning him with the Ice Toad. After all, the Meng family was one of the four great families, and if Meng Lishi died suddenly, suspicion would undoubtedly arise.
Yao Jinyu never expected that the investigation of a missing child case would lead to a case within a case.
Since Si Tianyu was the biological mother of Princess Si Liangce, and this case also involved the unjust case of Si Liangce's biological father, she only tried the case of collusion between the Si family and the abbot of Xiangyang Temple. As for Meng Lishi's case within the case, she put it aside for the time being and waited for reporting, and would try it after the relevant personnel arrived.
"Bang!"
Yao Jinyu angrily slammed Jingmutang.
"Si Tianyu, you are the head of one of the four great families of our Laifeng Nation, a man of high rank and wealth. Yet, you are so greedy and inhumane that you have colluded with that fake Taoist priest Wang Zhenyi to commit countless crimes."
"Do you know how heartbroken the mothers and families of those innocent children who were kidnapped must be? You're willing to make money in such a despicable way. No wonder you can't have a daughter. Even if you earn a fortune, what good will it do if there's no one to inherit it? Can you take it with you to your grave?"
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
Yao Jinyu hit the nail on the head and revealed the pain hidden deep in Si Tianyu's heart.
"hehe……"
"Sir, what you said is absolutely true..."
Si Tianyu, wearing a white prison uniform and with disheveled hair, knelt in the hall. Her lifeless eyes and desperate expression showed that she had lost the will to live.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart!
The person is gone, separated by the Yin and Yang.
The moment Si Tianyu realized that he truly loved Meng Lishi, his heart was as dead as ashes, and no spark of hope could be ignited.
On the other hand, after Yu Lianhuan took Nangong Chen away from the Si family in the south of the city, he first placed him in his own villa in the city.
"Huanhuan, can't you stay and accompany me?"
In an exquisite and luxurious room, Nangong Chen hugged Yu Lianhuan's neck reluctantly, not wanting her to leave.
It’s not that he really loves Yu Lianhuan, but this woman has become his only one now.
From now on, Nangong Chen is no longer the head of the Si family who once enjoyed such a glorious life in front of others. He may not even be able to use his real name in the future.
Nangong Chen was feeling lost and at a loss at the moment, with all sorts of uneasy emotions constantly flooding his heart. He felt as if he was in a vast fog, unable to find the direction to move forward.
The endless feeling of loneliness was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting his chest.
In addition to feeling lost and lonely, Nangong Chen also felt a panic caused by uncertainty about the future. This panic made him feel anxious and uneasy, as if he was in a dark tunnel with no light at the end.
"Chenchen, we... we have a long way to go. If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Now I have to kill that Si Chengfeng for you, so that he won't come after you later!"
Yu Lianhuan hugged Nangong Chen, who was holding her on the bed, and comforted her with words.
Although she was a bad girl, she cherished the spoils she had obtained through careful planning, because these men were all snatched from the hands of those seemingly outstanding women.
Nangong Chen is just one of them...
At six quarters past ten, a horse-drawn carriage was traveling all night on the official road from the east to the center of the city.
Si Chengfeng returned to the General's Mansion during the day and first accompanied General Feng and Old Man Mu. Although he was not Feng Cailan and Yu Jingyang's biological son, the two old men treated him like their own grandson.
Afterwards, he went to visit Feng Lingyan and Yu Jingyang. The three of them had a great conversation, so much so that time passed by unknowingly and they missed the scheduled time to return to the palace.
"We should be able to get back before the palace gates are locked, right?" Si Chengfeng lightly lifted the carriage curtain with his bony fingers and asked Feng Wu who was driving the carriage outside.
It’s not that Si Chengfeng can’t stay at the General’s Mansion, but he doesn’t want to give people the impression that he is arrogant because of his favor.
"Reporting to Si Liang, the road ahead is clear, there should be no problem." Feng Wu replied while driving the carriage.
"Um."
Si Chengfeng felt relieved when he heard this, and he let down his clothes and sat back on the soft couch in the carriage.
The rumbling carriage moved forward, leaving the east of the city and stepping onto the official road in the city.
"Ouch~"
The sudden stop almost caused the driver and passengers in the carriage to fall.
"Feng Wu, what happened?"
Si Chengfeng's worried and slightly anxious voice rang out from the carriage. After all, if he delayed any longer, he might not be able to return to the palace in time.
"Reporting to Si Liangce, there is a big rock blocking the middle of the road." Feng Wu said helplessly.
Who could be so wicked as to place such a large rock in the middle of the official road? If he hadn't been quick to stop the carriage in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Big rock?"
Upon hearing this, Si Chengfeng gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out to check.
"It's really a big rock!" Si Chengfeng held his forehead helplessly.
"Forget it, let's move it away first. It would be dangerous if someone driving a carriage passed by and didn't see it clearly." Si Chengfeng ordered.
Although they could have walked away from the situation, the kind-hearted Si Chengfeng did not do so.
"Yes, Si Liangce."
Just as Feng Wu was moving the big stone and Si Chengfeng was about to get on the carriage, a ghostly, elegant green figure suddenly flew out and with a "whoosh" sound, she placed the sharp sword in her hand across Si Chengfeng's neck...
