"Ah..."
"This... Amitabha. Such a sin, such a sin!"
"Why did she even bring the corpses here? What on earth does Liu Rumei want to do?"
"Could she be planning to conduct a public autopsy? Whose bones are those over there? Could it be that Liu Rumei dug up someone's grave?"
"She can't even let the dead rest in peace. What kind of evil has she done!"
"That Liu Rumei is really a bad person. They're already dead, and she's still causing such a stir. Isn't she afraid they'll come back to take revenge on her at night?"
"What do you know? She's trying to seek justice for them. The Liu and Xu families were exterminated, and the blame was put on Miss Liu. If it were me, I'd do the same!"
"..."
People were talking in all directions, pointing fingers. Some timid ones didn't dare to look anymore and quickly left in a hurry.
Soon, what Liu Rumei had done in the yamen spread throughout the entire capital.
Ning Yan'er, hiding in the crowd with a veil on and supported by A Bi, was as pale as a sheet. Having been raised in seclusion since childhood, although she was extremely scheming, when had she ever seen such a scene?
However, seeing the gentle - looking man standing behind Liu Rumei made her stop her steps.
She tightly grabbed A Bi's wrist with her right hand. She was determined not to leave today. Liu Rumei, I'd like to see how you turn this around!
A Bi felt both heartache and pain seeing Ning Yan'er like this.
At this time, Liu Rumei stepped forward and stood beside the corpses. She said coldly, "These are the corpses of the Xu and Liu families, as well as Song Yang, the younger brother of Young Master Liu!"
Then she walked to the bones beside them. "These are the bones of Young Master Liu. I specially asked the prince to help me find them."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again. "What?"
"These are actually the bones of Young Master Liu?"
"Wasn't Young Master Liu's body not found back then? How come it's here now..."
"Could she be bluffing?"
"..."
Liu Rumei still said indifferently, "When Young Master Liu had an accident back then, Widow Liu really couldn't find his body. That's because his body was taken away by his younger brother, Song Yang, and buried in Yingguang Village. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can go and check."
Ye Zhe and A Nan somehow brought two chairs from the yamen and placed them behind Mo Liandi and Heng Niang.
Xue Zhan still looked like a dashing gentleman, fanning himself with the folding fan in his hand. Seeing A Nan standing behind Heng Niang, he somehow blurted out, "Brother, pour me a cup of tea."
A Nan's body stiffened, and his eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at Xue Zhan. "What tricks are you up to again?"
Heng Niang also stared at Xue Zhan warily, as if trying to find some flaw on his face.
Being stared at like this by the two of them, Xue Zhan couldn't help but cough dryly and muttered, "If you don't help, then don't..."
This guy was really hard to fool...
No one noticed the little episode among the three of them. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Liu Rumei. "Song Yang looked exactly like Young Master Liu back then. The jade ring on his hand was left when Young Master Liu and Xu Maosheng became sworn brothers. I think this shouldn't be a secret."
"Back then, Xu Maosheng had an affair with Widow Liu and she got pregnant with Xiao Xin. In order not to expose herself, Widow Liu told a big lie, fooling Young Master Liu and also Master Xu. Although Master Xu was friends with Young Master Liu, he wanted to annex the Liu family's property, so he hired killers to kill Young Master Liu, causing the carriage accident."
Liu Rumei turned and squatted beside Young Master Liu's bones. She said again, "There are many cracks on Young Master Liu's bones. He must have been hit by a heavy object or fallen from a high place before he died."
There were countless cracks on Young Master Liu's body. It was obvious at a glance. Although people thought the bones were scary, they couldn't help but look out of curiosity.
"It's really true!"
"Master Xu was actually having an affair with that Widow Liu..."
"If so, why didn't Widow Liu expose this after Young Master Liu died?"
"Yes, if Xiao Xin is Master Xu's son, why did Master Xu kill Xiao Xin?"
"This is nonsense, isn't it?"
Heng Niang glanced at the person indifferently, and her beautiful eyes were full of contempt. "Didn't you hear our Liu Liu say? Widow Liu fooled everyone, and Xu Maosheng didn't know either. If this got out, could Young Master Liu's death still be an accident? Could Widow Liu, Master Xu, and that child still hold their heads up? And what about the Liu family's property?"
These questions made everyone fall silent.
A Nan was very observant and brought a cup of tea. He fed it to Heng Niang affectionately.
Seeing this, Xue Zhan cursed in his heart that A Nan was a traitor for love! After all, he was his own younger brother!
"Just as Heng Niang said, Widow Liu fooled everyone, and Xu Maosheng didn't know either. After Young Master Liu died, Widow Liu suspected Xu Maosheng, but she had no evidence. Xu Maosheng wanted to annex the Liu family's property. Widow Liu knew her situation well. She had no choice but to protect the Liu family."
So she couldn't tell anyone. Once the Liu family's property was gone, she would really have nothing. Xu Maosheng would never marry her against the world's opinion. At most, he would keep her outside.
But even so, the rumors and gossips would be enough to devour her and her son!
Liu Rumei took a step and came to the body of Xiao Hu. Somehow, there was a tool in her hand. "Xiao Hu died of dry drowning. Beside him was Xiao Xin's body. He was suffocated to death by Xu Maosheng with a wet towel. In Widow Liu's room, we found some sleeping incense, and there were also traces of the incense being lit in the censer. And Widow Liu had sex before she died. Since Young Master Liu had been dead for many years, the only one could be Xu Maosheng."
"Widow Liu lit the sleeping incense first, drugged Xiao Xin, and had an affair with Xu Maosheng. But she never expected that Xu Maosheng came to take revenge. He thought that Widow Liu had bribed me with silver, so he wanted her to pay with blood! Song Yang came after Xu Maosheng left. Song Yang had been investigating the cause of Young Master Liu's death for many years and also knew about the affair between Widow Liu and Xu Maosheng. So he killed Widow Liu in the same way and destroyed all the traces in the room."
"So that's what happened!"
"This adulterous couple really deserves to die!"
"Xiao Xin was actually Xu Maosheng's son?"
"You've said so much, but it's just your word. Where's the evidence?"
"Yes, there's no evidence!"
Liu Rumei replied calmly, "You said that I exterminated the entire Xu family and took Widow Liu's silver. Where's your evidence? Is it just because there are more of you and fewer of me?"
How ridiculous!
