"Yes."

Ruyun looked down at the black powder in her fingernails, she didn't deny it, and said very frankly, "After nightfall that day, Zheng Er came to the door after getting drunk, I thought it was Zhou Qing at first, so I opened the door." ”

"Zheng Er is trying to mistreat you by being drunk?"

Ruyun nodded, "He has always coveted me, and he also broke his left leg by the neighbors, so he swore that he must get me." That night when he came to the door drunk and used force on me, he suddenly had a throat attack and died in front of me. I was scared and wanted to report to the police, but when I got to the door, I hesitated. ”

She said this, and paused, but neither Qu Youying nor Mu Jingzhu spoke.

She reached out and pulled the broken hair from her forehead back before continuing.

"Since I crawled out of the coffin, I have been an ominous person in everyone's eyes. Everyone said that although the body is my appearance, the soul inside is already a demon from hell, because I was deceived by the Liang family and Zhou Wu, so I came back this time, and I was destined to take revenge. So with my identity, even if I go to report to the official, the yamen will not accept it, so why not die again, spread it, and become the third deceased in another seven days! And if there is a dead person other than Zhou Qing's plan, it will at least make him panic! ”

Qu Youying asked, "So you disguised Zheng Er's corpse?" ”

"Yes."

Qu Youying asked again, "Why?" ”

Ruyun smiled, did not speak, and looked at Mu Jingzhu.

Mu Jingzhu's lips and teeth moved slightly, and he said, "That's because Zheng Er is a homeless man, he has no family, and no one will comprehend the corpse after death, and as long as the corpse exists, the investigators will find out, and as long as they re-investigate, they will find that Zheng Er was not killed." But because of the clue that 'someone is camouflaging the corpse', if you follow the clue, you will definitely find her. ”

Mu Jingzhu nodded at Ruyun and said to Qu Youying, "Look at her nails, her hands are so beautiful, but the nails are black, this is the most obvious evidence." If you compare them, you'll see that it's all the same. ”

Although Mu Jingzhu said so, Qu Youying still got up to verify it, she held Ruyun's fingers and carefully studied the black powder.

"It's a powder of the same pigment indeed." She looked at Ruyun condescendingly, "You're doing this just to lure us to the door?" But even if you don't do anything, we'll still come to you. ”

"But in that case, what I'm saying may not be convincing you."

Because of preconceived notions, and because of the situation of bystanders and authorities, everyone's eyes will believe the words of an innocent person more.

Therefore, he did things to Zheng Er's corpse like a cloud, deliberately exposing it, so that even if people didn't believe what she said, they would not completely veto it.

It's just that Qu Youying feels that she is still doing it too much, because with Mu Jingzhu's shrewdness, before the truth of the matter is completely revealed, he treats people of any identity equally.

"Then why don't you tell me what everything is going on? Or let's compare and contrast the two versions? ”

Qu Youying let go of her hand, walked over to Mu Jingzhu and sat down again, cocking Erlang's legs, ready to listen to the story.

Ruyun is not pretentious, let alone superfluous nonsense, and goes straight to the topic.

"I saved Liang Yuan's life before, so I had some dealings with the Liang family, and it was at that time that I met Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing is a gentle and elegant man on the surface, but behind his back, he secretly swallowed a lot of money from the Liang family, and secretly enveloped the Liang family's business. After I found out about this, I went to talk to Liang Yuan, and Liang Yuan probably told Liang, and then Liang and Zhou Qing quarreled and wanted to drive Zhou Qing out of Liang's house. ”

"And then?"

"Whether Zhou Qing was kicked out of the Liang family, I don't know, I only know that not long after they quarreled, Liang Yuan died, and then the Liang family said that he dreamed of Liang Yuan, asked me to marry him, and promised me that as long as I marry, the entire Liang family's business will be mine in the future. But I refused. But Liang didn't give up, and kept pestering me until Xi Po came to the door and told me a family matter. But I didn't expect that all of this was designed behind them! ”

"Zhou Qing bought off Xiangpo?"

Qu Youying remembered that when she was in Anhe Village, the stupid shopkeeper said that Xiangpo was greedy for money, as long as she had enough money, she would dare to take any business.

"Yes!" Ruyun gritted her teeth, "If I didn't have Xiangpo, I wouldn't be like this." ”

"And what about after you get married? What happened in those seven days at the Liang family? ”

"Those seven days—"

Ruyun looked up and looked at the window sealed by wooden bars, and the golden light stubbornly drilled out of the cracks, dispelling the few darkness that was there.

"During those seven days I made up my mind to die, neither eating nor drinking. After three days, I couldn't hold on. In the confusion, I saw Zhou Qing. He took advantage of the fact that no one was around, came to my room, gave me a piece of food, and told me that there was a way for me not to die, and to leave the Liang family, but I had to cooperate with him. ”

The darkness in Ruyun's eyes was mixed with anger, and with the repeated mention of Zhou Qingshang, it became more and more intense.

"Because I knew his character, I didn't agree, closed my eyes, and waited for death to come. But Zhou Qing poured me a bottle of potion. I don't know what it was, but my throat was hot, and it didn't take long for me to feel unbearable pain in my abdomen, and my whole body was filled with severe pain. I asked him what he had given me, and he said that it was a kind of Gu poison that could make my life worse than death, and if I promised to cooperate with him, he would give me a pill to suppress Gu poison, and if not, even if I died, I would be buried with Liang Yuan and be his wife. In the end, I chose to cooperate. ”

"Wait." Qu Youying suddenly interrupted her words, "Since you have already made up your mind to die at that time, it means that you are not afraid of death." Even if you take Gu poison, the big deal is death, but the process is a little painful, but why do you want to cooperate with him? ”

"Because-after I told Liang Yuan about Zhou Qing, Liang Yuan forced me, and I was more than a month pregnant. Just because he did it to me, my child was gone, you know, the pain of losing a child. That was the only bloodline of the deceased Yuelang, and it was gone! ”

"Ahh

Qu Youying stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, she hadn't thought about Ruyun's pregnancy at all, because she looked like she had always been single!

"So I hate him, even if I die, I don't want to marry him!"

Ruyun's appearance was extremely angry, her hands were clenched into fists, her eyes were as hideous as a wolf, as if in front of her was Liang Yuan, the person who wanted to tear it apart with her own hands!

"You—you calm down......"

Qu Youying didn't know how to comfort her, because she really hadn't tried the pain of losing her own child, not to mention, that child was still the only blood left in the world by the man she loved.

But she could think of her pain, and when she felt it like this, her heart gradually became uncomfortable.

Until a pair of hands covered the backs of her hands that she was slowly clenching.

The warmth struck, which made Qu Youying slightly shocked, and when she turned around, she saw the wooden candle beside her.

He didn't look at her, but whispered, "I'm here for everything." ”

Qu Youying looked at him, and the warm current in her heart gradually expanded, dispelling the negative emotions brought by Ruyue.

She smiled, didn't say much, looked at Ruyun quietly, watched her outburst of emotions, gradually turned into sorrow, and finally slowly precipitated.

She is a woman who pays attention to etiquette, she was so out of control just now, but now she is calm, and she still said, "I'm sorry to let you see the joke." But at that time, I really hated Liang Yuan, so even if it would be painful, I had an evil heart and chose to cooperate with Zhou Qing. But the facts tell me that if you are in the company of wolves, you will not be treated well. ”

"What did Zhou Qing do later?"

"He gave me a pill that he said would make it look like he was dead, but I was conscious. Then when I and Liang Yuan are buried together, he will take me out behind his back. ”

"You believed him so much? I'm not afraid that he is actually in the same group as the Liang family, so he did it just to be more deceptive. ”

Facing Qu Youying's words, Ruyun smiled slightly, hiding bitterness.

"Yes, I only thought about this question after I drank the medicine, but it was too late by then. I was afraid that Zhou Qing would deceive me, and even thought that if I died, I would definitely turn into a ghost and come back to them for revenge. But in fact, Zhou Qing didn't lie to me for his own purposes. He really rescued me from the coffin, and then deliberately created a strange story that I came out of the coffin three days later, which caused a sensation in Yunyang Township. In this way, I was deceived by the Liang family, and then the ghost drove the body back to find the Liang family for revenge, and it was a matter of course, as long as the body was burned afterwards, no one would know the truth. ”

When she said this, Qu Youying and Mu Jingzhu probably understood.

Using ghost revenge as an excuse, no one will suspect it in such a place where ghost marriages are often held.

"Since you are dealing with the Liang family, why is the first person to die Zhou Wu?"

"Because Zhou Wu was the one who originally wanted to marry me, if he could tell me at that time that he would not marry me, everything was a conspiracy of the Liang family, then I would not have been tricked. So Zhou Qing said, the first one is to kill Zhou Wu, so that my return is full of horror and causes everyone to panic. ”

"And then you're pretending to have amnesia? Zhou Qing also asked someone to testify for you behind his back? ”

Ruyun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Qu Youying pursed her lips, she didn't have anything to ask, whether it was what Zhou Qing said or what Ruyun said, for them, it was the so-called truth.

She turned her head to look at the wooden candle.

Mu Jingzhu's slender fingers supported his chin, and his dense eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a fan-shaped shadow under his eyelids.

Suddenly, the silence moved slightly, like a drop of water in the water, causing a ripple.

He put down his hand, looked up at Ruyun, and suddenly asked, "I want to know why Liang Yuan is forcing you." ”
