"Because you saw Zhao Qin burying Miss Huang's body and knew that they had private dealings, do you think that Zhao Qin killed Miss Huang?" Wei Fu asked.
Aunt Huang suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Wei Fu: "The princess is not protecting them because they are rich!"
"Young Master Zhao has admitted it. Shouldn't the princess ask the Zhao family to pay for my daughter's life?"
Even though she was yelled at, Wei Fu didn't get angry. She said calmly, "I know you're heartbroken after losing your daughter, so I have to get to the bottom of this matter and make sure Zhao Qin is severely punished to comfort your daughter's soul in heaven."
"Zhao Qin, when did you kill Miss Huang?"
Zhao Qin said, "December 3rd of last year."
Wei Fu pretended to flip through his notebook and frowned at the Huang family: "Why didn't you report the death of someone on December 3rd last year?"
Wei Fu actually didn’t know whether the Huang family had reported the case, but she always felt that the Huang family’s previous evasive attitude made her feel that the Huang family was hiding something.
And Zhao Qin was willing to help them and follow them, even if he had to bear the crime of murder.
In her little head, she couldn't understand what Zhao Qin was thinking.
So she deliberately said such nonsense to deceive the Huang family.
Aunt Huang hadn't expected Wei Fu to ask this question. She hesitated and said, "We didn't know our daughter was killed at first. If we had known, we would have reported it to the police."
"You didn't know Miss Huang was killed, and Miss Huang never came home, so you didn't go looking for her?"
Aunt Huang said, "Of course we did look for them, but if someone is missing, how can we find them? It's not like we're the only one missing."
"My princess, didn't you go to the bun shop this morning? You should also know that many families won't report their daughters missing to the police. Only a few people are willing to report it to the police."
Wei Fu was silent for a moment, then called out to the officers and soldiers around him: "If that's the case, then Zhao Qin must have killed Miss Huang. Take him to the Heavenly Prison and chop him off tomorrow!"
After Wei Fu finished speaking, he left with Long Yin.
Mrs. Huang hurriedly asked, "Princess, are you leaving just like that?"
Wei Fu was confused and asked doubtfully, "The case has been solved. If I don't leave like this, what else should I do?"
"You want to treat me to a meal? Forget it. It's not easy for you to earn money. I'm sorry to bother you with the expense."
Mrs. Huang said anxiously, "No, Princess."
"That's not what I meant."
"What I mean is, my sister-in-law is already dead. Even if we kill Mr. Zhao, my sister-in-law won't be able to come back to life. It's not that we can't let Mr. Zhao go and spare his life, but the Zhao family has to pay compensation!"
When Shopkeeper Zhao heard that compensation was acceptable, he immediately said, "We'll pay whatever you want."
"No compensation! Such an evil son, such a murderer, we don't have such a person in our Zhao family!" A woman came out from the crowd and saluted Wei Fu before saying, "My lord, I am Zhao Qin's mother. I raised my son poorly and gave birth to such a son. I am deeply ashamed. I beg you to enforce the law impartially."
"The wicked man who killed someone should pay with his life, not money. He used this kind of yellow and white stuff to defile the chaste girl."
The Zhao family has always had a very good reputation. Originally, everyone had some opinions about the Zhao family because of Zhao Qin, wondering if the Zhao family was the kind of family that was two-faced. But now, seeing Madam Zhao come out so righteously, they couldn't help but stand in awe for a moment.
Many people couldn't help but lament: "Shopkeeper Zhao and Madam Zhao are both kind and polite people, how could Mr. Zhao become like this?"
"Yes, poor Madam Zhao and Shopkeeper Zhao, they only have this one son. They originally thought he was a good person, but he turned out to be a beast in human form."
"Shopkeeper Zhao and Madam Zhao are so pitiful."
Seeing his wife like this, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but pull her sleeve and said anxiously, "Madam, how could you do this! He is our only son!"
Madam Zhao said sadly, "He is indeed our only son, but if he had any filial piety, or if he had any regard for you and me, he would not do such a thing."
"This path is the path he chose himself. Even if he dies, it is his own choice. He cannot blame others."
"We, as his parents, have already given him a life, but he doesn't know how to cherish it and how to be a good person. I would rather not have a son like him!"
Zhao Qin wept bitterly as he knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Zhao several times, saying, "I am an unfilial son and have failed to live up to the kindness of my parents in raising me."
Mrs. Zhao, please don't look at him at first.
Wei Fu looked at Madam Zhao, then at Zhao Qin.
He scratched his head and said, "There's no way to save someone who's looking for death. Drag him away!"
However, the Huang family was anxious. Aunt Huang loudly questioned Madam Zhao, "Madam Zhao, how could you be so vicious and cruel? That's your son. Are you going to watch him die?"
Mrs. Huang also said, "That's right, Madam Zhao, Young Master Zhao is still young, you should give him a chance to reform!"
The father and son from the Huang family also stopped the officers and soldiers and guards from leaving.
Long Yin stroked his chin and said, "Why do I think the Huang family and Mr. Zhao are more like a family?"
Madam Zhao felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she forced a smile and said, "My lord, I understand. I feel the same way."
Zhao Qin's face was embarrassed.
The onlookers were also confused. Shouldn't the Huang family be wishing Zhao Qin dead? Why were they stopping the princess from arresting people?
Could it be that Zhao Qin is really the son of the Huang family, so Mrs. Zhao doesn't care about Zhao Qin's life or death?
But that's not right. If Zhao Qin was a child of the Huang family, why would Zhao Qin attack his own sister?
The onlookers were all confused.
The Huang family members kept asking, "How could it be!"
"No, no."
"Young Master Zhao is not from our Huang family. We just thought that although my sister is gone, our parents are still here, and they are old. After all, Young Master Zhao was someone my sister loved, so we don't want to commit any murder."
"As long as Mr. Zhao is willing to pay compensation, or as long as Mr. Zhao is willing to marry my sister in a formal ceremony so that my sister can have a place to be buried, and treat my parents as her own parents in the future, we will be satisfied."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she sneered and looked at Zhao Qin with disappointment.
Wei Fu saw Zhao Qin looking at Madam Zhao pleadingly: "I am willing to marry the girl from the Huang family."
Mrs. Zhao said coldly, "If you want to marry me, fine. But from today on, you are no longer a member of our Zhao family. Your father and I will expel you from our home. You need to pay us back all the money we have spent supporting you over the years, and then we will be even."
"Who you want to marry and who you want to be filial to has nothing to do with us."
