Wei Fu and his companions set out from Jingzhou in the morning and arrived in Chu City in the evening. As it was getting late, Wei Fu did not go to look for Chen Xi. They found a clean inn to stay in, and after a short rest, they found a place to eat.
As soon as they sat down, a group of people came in from behind. One of them said excitedly: "Such a thing actually happened to the Yang family. It shocked my whole family."
"That's right. Usually the people in the Yang family seem pretty good, but I didn't expect them to be like this, especially Mr. Yang, who is so perverted."
Wei Fu looked at their excited expressions and listened to their discussions. He couldn't help but prick up his ears and his whole body tilted to that side.
"Those old couple in the Yang family are nothing but human beings! They killed their own daughter and son-in-law with their own hands, and even framed their granddaughter for it, saying that their daughter and son-in-law were killed by their granddaughter and that she was a disaster."
"They're worse than beasts! The man from the Shen family was unlucky to marry a girl from the Yang family. Not only did he marry a daughter-in-law, he also lost a son. He's been raising his granddaughter in fear for so many years."
Wei Fu blinked his eyes. Why did this sound so familiar?
She couldn't help but walk over, pull the sleeve of the best-looking person in the group and ask, "Uncle, which Yang family and which Shen family are you talking about?"
The man Wei Fu asked was the first time he had seen a child asking about such a thing. Seeing that Wei Fu was very cute, he couldn't help but smile. "It's the Yang family over at the east end of the city. As for the Shen family, I heard it was about an official in the capital, but I forgot what official it was."
"The deceased daughter of the Yang family was named Yang Su?"
"Oh, yes, that seems to be the name."
The man sighed, "The Yang family is quite well-known in Chu City. Miss Yang is very beautiful and was one of the famous beauties in our Chu City back then. When she married in the capital, it was quite a grand ceremony. I even went to join in the fun and saw the groom from afar. He was also very handsome and the two of them looked very well-matched."
"Little girl, how do you know the name of the eldest daughter of the Yang family?"
Wei Fu said, "I figured it out."
The man thought it was just a witty remark Wei Fu had heard from others, and didn't take it seriously: "You are really amazing, little girl."
"Did something happen to the Yang family?"
People who like to watch the excitement also like to tell others about it. When Wei Fu asked the man, he said with a beaming face: "Is there something wrong? It's a big thing."
"The granddaughter of the Yang family in the capital came to Chu City and found out that her parents were not killed by her, but were murdered by her grandmother's family. So she reported it to the authorities."
"The prefect found out during the interrogation that Mr. Yang had actually been harboring evil intentions towards his own sister. When Miss Yang came back to visit her parents with her husband and daughter, Mr. Yang tried to molest Miss Yang, but was discovered by Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen severely punished Mr. Yang. If the two elders of the Yang family had not arrived in time, Mr. Shen would have almost crippled Mr. Yang."
"The two elders of the Yang family and Mr. Yang cried and begged for forgiveness, admitted their mistakes and asked Mr. Shen to release Mr. Yang. Mr. Shen, for the sake of the two elders, suppressed his anger and forgave them. But he immediately decided to pack up and leave the Yang family and return to Beijing with his wife and daughter."
"Because it was already night, under the persuasion of the two elders of the Yang family and out of consideration for the baby, they decided to leave early the next morning."
"However, Master Yang was still determined to do something evil and even tried to secretly drug Master Shen and the others. However, Master Yang's actions were discovered by the two elders of the Yang family. Thinking that their son had never married, they thought that their daughter had seduced their son into this state. They had someone secretly knock their son unconscious and decided to kill their daughter, who was causing trouble for them."
"So Madam Yang said she had made some calming soup for her daughter and asked the couple to drink some. Although Miss Yang and Mr. Shen were wary of Mr. Yang, they were not wary of Madam Yang. At Madam Yang's persuasion, they drank the drugged soup. After they were knocked unconscious, Madam Yang had her daughter and son-in-law hacked to death."
"It's said that women are the most vicious. This old lady Yang is almost as vicious as Concubine De. Concubine De turned her own child into a ghost, but this old lady Yang had her own daughter hacked to death. When she had her daughter hacked to death, she didn't even think of taking her little granddaughter away. Fortunately, Miss Shen was still young and asleep at that time and didn't know anything."
"If I had seen my parents being hacked to death, I would never be able to recover from this."
"There are many ways to kill someone, but Madam Yang chose the most cruel one."
After hearing this, Tingyu was so angry that she slammed the table without caring about her image and said, "Who is this person?"
"Then Miss Yang is probably not the daughter of that old hag!"
The man said, "He is my biological son. The prefect asked about it at the time."
Tingyu felt a chill in her bones. It was clearly Master Yang who was wrong in this matter. Old Madam Yang did not educate her son, but instead killed her own daughter and son-in-law!
With a mother like this, it would be strange if the son could be a good person.
It is not easy for Miss Shen's mother to remain innocent after growing up in such an environment.
"The old one is unreasonable, cruel and ruthless, and his heart is crooked. The young one has evil intentions, dirty and perverted thoughts, and he deserves to be struck by lightning." Tingyu cursed.
Many people agreed: "That's right."
When the man was speaking, many people came over to listen. It was the peak time for dinner, and after everyone heard about the Yang family's story, the whole restaurant was filled with discussions about it.
Wei Fu went to thank the man, gave him a peace amulet, and then sat back with Tingyu.
She held her face in her hands and said worriedly, "I don't know how Xi'er is doing, hey..."
This truth is too cruel.
Although she knew that Chen Xi was carrying a blood feud when she saw her, she did not calculate the truth.
Now that I hear that this is the case, I am still shocked.
Not only was Wei Fu shocked, the Crown Prince and the others were also shocked. He touched Wei Fu's head and comforted him, "After we finish our meal, go back and have some rest. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the little girl from the Shen family. How about that?"
Wei Fu nodded.
Tingyu didn't want to see Wei Fu worrying all the time, so she spoke to divert Wei Fu's emotions: "I didn't expect Miss Shen and the others to be so capable. They solved the case without waiting for the princess to come to help."
