Chapter 204: Greedy for money, lustful, and ambitious
Lin Yaozhu's back continued to twitch in the sun, and her heartbroken cries spread throughout the prison, which was terrifying.
"With Jinyu, my father started his second step plan." After about a cup of tea, Lin Yaozhu wiped away her tears and continued, "He wants to get rid of all the princes who may pose a threat to him, especially Prince Hao who dares to confront Jinyu head-on. So he went and brought in the White Lady."
"You invited the White Lady?" Qiao Xiya asked in a trembling voice. The massacre against the princes and grandsons and the elusive blood-weeping yin and yang skull moth still make Qiao Xiya's heart palpitate. "How did you bring the White Lady into the palace?"
"Kill the envoys who entered the palace to worship, keep the real treasures in their own treasury, replace them with the sleeping white lady, and directly pretend to be the envoys to enter the palace to offer treasures." In a few words, Lin Yaozhu said it without shock, but Qiao Xiya was shocked when she heard it.
"You killed those envoys?" Qiao Xiya's voice trembled a little. In her impression, Lin Yaozhu is a lady who doesn't dare to look at chickens.
"How can a waste like me have such a big effect." Lin Yaozhu sneered.
This kind of self-deprecation made Qiao Xiya feel very uncomfortable. She steadied herself and asked softly, "Who is that?"
"Your childhood sweetheart, Yao Mingxi." Although she already knew who the murderer was, but today she heard Lin Yaozhu say it almost word by word, Qiao Xiya was still shocked.
"Why did you drag him into the water?" Regarding Yao Mingxi's abandonment of herself, lurking by her side at the back, wanting to kill herself all the time, and finally stabbing Mo Haoning to escape, Qiao Xiya always felt like she was in her throat.
"Drag him into the water?" Lin Yaozhu smiled and asked, "Qiao Xiya, you already have Prince Hao, why do you still miss Yao Mingxi?"
"It's not that the official is obsessed with Yao Mingxi, but that he is really a heinous crime, so the official naturally wants to ask clearly." Seeing that Lin Yaozhu was suspected of stirring up right and wrong, Qiao Xiya immediately sank her face.
"What a big official." Lin Yaozhu let out a long sigh, "Qiao Xiya, do you know? It wasn't me who dragged Yao Mingxi into the water, it was he who found me and showed his loyalty to my father."
"How so? Master Yao is an upright person......
"And who told you that an upright father will educate a son who is equally upright?" Lin Yaozhu's words made Qiao Xiya fall into deep thought.
"Lord Yao is an honest and honest official, but under his doting, he raised a greedy and lustful son who is ambitious." Seeing that Qiao Xiya didn't speak, Lin Yaozhu continued, "When Yao Mingxi found me and expressed his heart to me, your father was still investigating the case in Huizhou, he said that he liked me from beginning to end, and it was his father's own initiative to make a marriage contract with you, and he didn't ask him what he meant, he said that I am more beautiful than you, gentler than you, and he approached you just to have an excuse to meet me. Later, your father had an accident, and I tested him and said, if it was your father who I designed to frame him, what would he do, but I didn't expect him to show loyalty to me directly, he said that he was willing to contribute to get rid of you, so that Qiao Fu had no possibility of turning over, so that not only would he not have to bear the accusation of abandoning his fiancée who had a marriage contract, but he would also be able to marry me smoothly and serve my father."
Lin Yaozhu's words were like steel needles, deeply piercing Qiao Xiya's heart. She knew Yao Mingxi's betrayal, and she had also seen Yao Mingxi's final madness, but she still didn't want to believe that Yao Mingxi made all these actions voluntarily, she kept saying to herself that Yao Mingxi may have been coerced and lured by others. But Lin Yaozhu's words completely broke her wishful thinking of Yao Mingxi, it turned out that from the beginning, she was not Yao Mingxi's firm choice. From the beginning, in Yao Mingxi's eyes, there was only Lin Yaozhu in her heart, not her Qiao Xiya.
It's a shame that she still went to seek help from her father when he first had an accident, and now it seems that she is really entrusted to someone else.
Qiao Xiya quickly wiped a handful of tears from her cheeks, forcibly endured the pain in her heart, and asked, "Then what? What did you make him do?"
"I told my father about Yao Mingxi's loyalty as soon as possible," as if she hadn't heard Qiao Xiya's question, Lin Yaozhu didn't answer the question, but continued to talk to herself
"My father lifted my chin, looked at my face seriously, looked at it for a long time, and said, Zhu'er, it seems that you still have some effect. After saying that, he patted me on the face and told me that I must protect my beautiful face, but don't break it. Then, he said that he would give Yao Mingxi a task, if he did it, he could be trusted, and if he couldn't do it, then find a suitable opportunity to get rid of him."
"So the first task you gave him was to kill me?" Qiao Xiya's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, killing you is what he wants to do, and what we want to do." Lin Yaozhu laughed softly.
"Why did you get rid of me? Is it just because I have the possibility of solving the case and finding out the real culprit?" Qiao Xiya's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"No, no, no, when I first wanted to kill you, it didn't matter what I told you, it was just because I hated you, so I wanted to kill you. I hate that you have the love of your parents, and I hate that you are obviously not as good as me, but your life is more comfortable than mine!" Lin Yaozhu was a little hysterical.
"But he still couldn't kill me." Qiao Xiya said coldly.
"yes, so he's a piece of waste too! A useful waste!"
"Useful waste?" Qiao Xiya didn't quite understand what Lin Yaozhu meant for a while, so she couldn't help but ask.
"yes, you don't know how hard he tried to kill you." Lin Yaozhu chuckled, "In order to do more like sneaking out, he deliberately stole the family's silver, causing their housekeepers and housekeepers to chase after him desperately, and you, just like he planned, took him in. Later, he bought off the owner of the car dealership, broke the carriage, and caught a few bees, and after that failed, he did not hesitate to kill people in Huizhou to prevent you from investigating the case, and in order to kill you, he also sent you the medicine he bought from Jinyu and a bag of poisoned cakes."
"Pastry?" Chunling, who had been standing behind Qiao Xiya, suddenly interrupted Lin Yaozhu's words.
"You know?" Qiao Xiya turned her head to look at Chunling.
Chunling nodded and said, "Yes, the slave maid remembers that when she was in Huizhou, Yao Gongzi made the girl angry, and the girl locked herself in the house without eating or drinking, so Yao Gongzi sent a cake, and the slave and maid were angry at the time, and felt that he and the pastries he sent were very eyesore, so she asked Xia He to take it and throw it away......
"You mean, the crazy woman who died on the streets in Huizhou......" Chunling's words reminded Qiao Xiya of when they were in Huizhou, there was a crazy woman who suddenly died on the streets, and there was a bag of open cakes by her side......
