Chapter 68: The Dust Settles
Zhou Niangzi's family suffered such a great change, and when the creditor came to the door and had nothing to do, she had to scatter the servants in the family and sell the house and property, so that she could finally make up for her husband's deficit.

While raising her young son by sewing and mending for others, she searched around for news of her husband, and finally heard from her husband's old friend that he took Liu Mianmian to Guzhou nearly half a year later.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"You mean...... When she killed her husband and Liu Mianmian? Su Jinchen was dumbfounded.
Chen Yifei nodded, "That Zhou Yun and Liu Mianmian were both greedy for comfort, the two of them spent money like flowing water, and after only a few months of arriving in Guzhou, they squandered a lot of money and had to live in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. When Zhou Wang's family found there, he originally thought that Zhou Yun would be able to take care of the relationship between husband and wife in the past and change his mind, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yun's words were sharp, not only flatly rejected her request, but also threw her a few copper plates like a beggar and drove her away...... Zhou Wang's family was angry, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and stabbed him to death with a hairpin. β
Su Jinchen was shocked when he heard this, and remembered the "Liu Mianmian" case he had heard, and couldn't help but wonder, "...... But didn't you say that the government only found Liu Mianmian's body at the beginning? β
Chen Yifei nodded, "According to Zhou Wang's confession...... After killing Zhou Yun, she didn't leave immediately, but hid in the shadows and attacked Liu Mianmian who came back from outside. Even while she was unconscious, a fire burned the mansion, and then Zhou Yun's body was divided and buried in the woods near the mansion. β
Su Jinchen almost felt disgusted when he heard this, and he barely held back the tumbling in his stomach, "This ...... Is all this true? β
Chen Yifei pondered for a moment, "It's all from her mouth, it shouldn't be bad...... I have already revised the prefect of Guzhou, and I think there will be news in the next few days. β
Su Jinchen nodded, and asked again, "Then she has repeatedly attacked the dancing girl of Baihuaju...... It's also because I hate Liu Mianmian, right? β
Chen Yifei thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "From this point of view, she hates Liu Mianmian to the core, and there is a demon barrier in her heart...... It's hateful and terrible. β
Su Jinchen pondered for a moment, still puzzled in his eyes, "But the slave maid still has something to understand...... Even if she could take advantage of Gu Ziyan and Chu Cuier's loneliness to attack them, what about An Rumeng? Didn't she kill herself? Could she be able to force people to commit suicide? β
Chen Yifei shook his head, "An Rumeng didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and she was groggy and sluggish every day. She took advantage of this, disguised herself as An Rumeng, deliberately hung An Rumeng to death, put on her clothes, knocked on her girl's door, when the girl was hazy, she looked at her back, and with her past cognition, she thought that she had seen An Rumeng. β
"But isn't the door locked from the inside? Then she ......" Su Jinchen thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that she escaped from the window?" β
Chen Yifei nodded, "She set up the illusion that An Rumeng committed suicide, and escaped through the window, because there are witnesses who provide evidence to the government, no one will suspect her." Chen Yifei paused, "As for you, she caught a hibernating snake from the field and went into your room to changeβ" He cleared his throat in embarrassment before continuing, "When you change the Gong bucket, hide the snake in the buckle at the bottom of the Gong bucket." The house is warm, and the snake will slowly wake up and crawl out from the bottom. β
Remembering that little piece of what spiraled out...... Rao is charcoal fire in the house was burning very strongly, and she still couldn't help but shudder, "But ...... Zhou Wang never thought that maybe before the poisonous snake bit me, I would be the first to find out? β
Chen Yifei glanced at her lightly, "The people of the Zhou Wang clan have gone crazy, and when they were pressed into prison, they clapped their hands even more, saying that they were tired for a long time, and now they can be regarded as relieved - this person's mind, I am afraid it is difficult to deduce with common sense." β
Su Jinchen nodded after hearing this, and both of them fell into deep thought for a while.
After a long time, she heard Chen Yifei say quietly, "...... In this way, this is the record of the whole case. β
Su Jinchen vaguely heard a bit of uncertainty from his words.
"Do you think...... Is there anything left unfinished in this case? She asked softly.
Chen Yifei pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Shuntian Mansion Yin is fair and strict, the file is meticulous and detailed, and there is nothing suspicious. I just felt that Zhou Wang's death was very suddenβ" He suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much," ...... Maybe she knew that she was guilty of sin, so she was relieved. As he spoke, his face returned to his former indifference, "It's really hard for you to help the government solve the case in the past few days, and rest in this courtyard for a few days, and then go back to the Chen Mansion when you have enough energy." β
That's a reward for her.
"Yes, the slave has thanked the second young master."
Su Jinchen then remembered what the proprietress of Baihuaju specially took her hand when she left today......
She hesitated again and again, but still said weakly, "Second Young Master...... The proprietress of Baihuaju said that tomorrow they have a distinguished guest there and want to call a slave maid...... Tell the slave to go back and jump again one last time...... You see, the slave and maid canβ" and repeatedly stated: if you jump this once, you will pay her five hundred taels!
Five hundred taels ...... To say that you are not tempted, that is false.
Even if she works as a cow and a horse in the Chen family for a lifetime, she will not be able to get so much money. She will eventually go to her mother, and she must plan for her future......
"No, you can't." Without waiting for Su Jinchen to finish speaking, Chen Yifei interrupted categorically.
Su Jinchen was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with big eyes.
Chen Yifei took a sip of tea, suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart, tilted his head and squinted, "What? In the days of Baihuaju's 'stars holding the moon', haven't you had enough? β
Su Jinchen's face turned red suddenly, and he only hung the handkerchief in his hand and stopped making a sound.
Chen Yifei also knew that what he said just now was serious, and he wanted to remedy it, but he felt that he couldn't pull his face, so he waved his hand and said, "You will stay in the courtyard for a few days, if you really feel bored, you can find a little girl to go out with you, as for Baihuaju, that place will never allow you to set foot again, can you hear clearly?" β
Su Jinchen bit his lip and replied in a muffled voice, "The slave knows." β
"I still have something to do in my yamen, you stay obediently for a few days, and someone will come to pick you up in five days." He stood up as he spoke, flicked the folds on the hem of his coat, and didn't even look at her.
"Yes." Su Jinchen was slandered in his heart, and only lowered his eyes in response. "The slave maid sent the second young master out."
