357 The case was solved, it turned out that she was the murderer
The chief steward said that he had made an appointment with Old Mrs. Cheng, but he only told Old Mrs. Cheng half an hour in advance that His Highness the King of Qin was coming to visit.
No matter how calm Mr. Cheng was, he was shocked when he heard the news: Why did His Highness King Qin come to him suddenly?
His Highness the King of Qin has never made friends with the courtiers, nor formed cliques or cliques. This is what the Emperor likes, and it is also the reason why His Highness the King of Qin continues to be favored. Now...
His Highness the King of Qin came to the Cheng family with great fanfare, could it be to cause trouble for the Cheng family?
Mr. Cheng, who had recently been worried about his white hair due to a series of things at home, thought of the worst when something happened, and waited nervously for half an hour until Qin Jiyan's guard of honor finally arrived.
In such troubled times, Mr. Cheng did not dare to take advantage of him, so he went out to greet him personally and bowed down to him. However, halfway through the ceremony, Qin Jiyan lifted him up and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are welcome."
After saying that, he forced Old Mrs. Cheng to come in with him, doing his best to be courteous and caring for the old minister. When King Zhou and King Zhao received the news, they were so angry that they secretly cursed Qin Jiyan for being cunning and not giving him any chance.
Let it go.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Jiyan respects Mr. Cheng very much and has a very good relationship with Mr. Cheng, but this is not the case.
Qin Jiyan did respect the old minister, but that was just respect. Qin Jiyan couldn't even please the old emperor, so how could he support Old Master Cheng.
As soon as he entered the room, Qin Jiyan said straight to the point: "Master Cheng, I am here to ask for someone from you today."
"Who?" Mr. Cheng likes Qin Jiyan's straightforwardness. Although he has a lot of thoughts, he is not as calculating as a scholar. The Cheng family is afraid of going around in circles.
"Wu Liulang," as soon as Qin Jiyan said this name, Mr. Cheng's eyelids twitched and he opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Jiyan, "Mr. Cheng, don't say that the Cheng family does not have this person, this king
You know more than you think."
"No, Your Highness has misunderstood." Old Mrs. Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was secretly thinking about Cheng Rui. His Highness King Qin also knew about it, right?
His old face turned red, and Mrs. Cheng said uncomfortably: "To be honest with Your Highness, we are also looking for Wu Liulang."
"What's the result?" Qin Jiyan picked up the teacup beside him, blew away the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.
With his nonchalant movements and nonchalant tone, people who didn't know better thought that Qin Jiyan didn't care about Wu Liulang's whereabouts at all, but that was not the case. Old Master Cheng was cheered up by Qin Jiyan's actions.
He couldn't get down after a long time, and said breathlessly: "I'm sorry to say that we can't find it. Now we have sent people to the Wu family's old house to find it."
Mr. Cheng was dripping with cold sweat and felt depressed in his heart: King Qin was so young, how could he have the momentum he has today?
"Pa," Qin Jiyan put the tea cup down hard. Old Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Qin Jiyan say: "Master Cheng, don't waste manpower and material resources running around. I have a good suggestion for you. Send someone to the north.
Chase in the same direction, if you move faster, you may gain something."
"Boom..." Old Mrs. Cheng was startled, knelt down suddenly, and said with a panic look on his face: "Your Highness, you mean..." Wu Liulang is from Northern Qi?
This thought flashed past, and Mr. Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
"Wu Liulang, there is no such person as Liulang. Master Cheng, please take care of yourself." Qin Jiyan stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, ignored the trembling body of Old Mrs. Cheng, and continued: "Master Cheng, please get up, I want to see you.
Cheng Rui."
It was an order, not a discussion. If Qin Jiyan wanted to see Cheng Rui as soon as he came in, Mr. Cheng would definitely find a reason to refuse, but now?
Mr. Cheng didn't dare at all.
Once it was discovered that the Northern Qi spies had an unclear relationship with the Cheng family, the Cheng family would be destroyed.
Mr. Cheng seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. He struggled to get up from the ground, and tremblingly led Qin Jiyan to the backyard. Qin Jiyan did not shy away from anything, as if he was walking in his own backyard.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Cheng's hands were shaking so much, Qin Jiyan was afraid that Old Mrs. Cheng would scare him into something bad, so he said loudly: "Sir Cheng, Grandpa Huang is very aware of everything. As long as you are loyal to Great Qin, Grandpa Huang will understand."
Loyalty to the Qin Dynasty, rather than loyalty to the emperor, is very meaningful.
Mr. Cheng's pupils suddenly closed, his head was lowered, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."
With just this sentence, Mrs. Cheng didn't say a word of unnecessary words, Qin Ji didn't mention anything, and the group quickly arrived at Cheng Rui's yard.
Due to the miscarriage scandal, Cheng Rui's yard was full of people inside and outside, but when these people saw the old man coming, they didn't dare to stop him. They even didn't even dare to report the matter after the big housekeeper stopped him.
The old man didn't know what Qin Jiyan meant, but the current situation did not allow them to say more.
As soon as Qin Jiyan and Mrs. Cheng approached, they heard Mrs. Cheng asking Cheng Rui who the father of the child in her belly was.
But Cheng Rui only knew how to cry and said nothing except crying.
Qin Jiyan paused. If he didn't go in, no one else would dare to come forward. The group of people stood outside, eavesdropping openly. Mr. Cheng's old face turned red again, his head was buried low, and he was totally shameless.
people.
"Ruirui, is the child Liulang's?" Mrs. Cheng asked for a long time, getting more and more angry and directly said Wu Liulang's name.
This time Cheng Rui finally stopped crying and said: "Mom, I'm not my cousin. Please stop asking, okay? I believe that person will not let me down. I believe him. Don't worry, Mom, I
He won’t make the house look ugly. If you wait another half year, he will definitely come and marry me in half a year.”
"Half a year? Why half a year? After the scientific examination? That person is Liu Lang, right?" Mrs. Cheng's voice suddenly rose and she asked sternly.
Cheng Rui cried again. Since she woke up, she has only said this sentence besides crying.
Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit her, but the old lady on the side persuaded her to stop.
"You evil girl, how could I have given birth to such a thing as you? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place." Mrs. Cheng's eyes turned red with anger. She really hated the iron.
"Ruirui, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Anyway, my family has decided to send you to the temple as a sister-in-law. I will send you out as soon as you can get out of bed." Mrs. Cheng was completely disappointed with Cheng Rui.
"No, no, mother, you can't do this to me. I won't bring discredit on the family. Can you give me half a year? I will definitely get married in half a year." Cheng Rui hugged her tightly regardless of her physical weakness.
Mrs. Cheng.
"Half a year?" Mrs. Cheng laughed angrily, "If you are waiting for Wu Liulang, forget it. He ran away yesterday. We sent people from outside the city to look for him, but we couldn't even find him."
After all, Cheng Rui was young and was already frightened by the miscarriage. After hearing Mrs. Cheng's words, she couldn't keep the secret at all and shouted heartbreakingly: "Impossible, impossible, mother, you lied to me.
, you lied to me. How could Liulang not want me? You must have lied to me. We have made a lifelong commitment in the Goddess Tower. If he betrays me, he will be punished by the Goddess. He will not leave me alone, no.
…”
"It's really that little beast." Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth with a ferocious look on her face, but Cheng Rui couldn't care less at this time. She hugged Mrs. Cheng and kept checking whether Wu Liulang had really run away.
After receiving Mrs. Cheng's affirmative answer, Cheng Rui vomited blood and shouted: "Liu Lang, you betrayed me, you betrayed me, I lured your enemy to commit suicide by jumping off the tower for you, but you betrayed me, you betrayed me! I
