Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1189 Not an Accident
Seeing that Hong Jiu, who always loved money, did not take the banknote, Lin Jinyan teased:
"What's wrong with Lady Hong today? Are you dissatisfied with the amount?"

Seeing Lin Jinyan's smile, Hong Jiu, who already had difficulty speaking, didn't know how to start.

Hearing Lin Jinyan's question, he forced a smile, took the banknote and thanked her, then lowered his eyes to hide his reluctance, and bowed respectfully to answer:
"The person you placed in the second house just came to pass on the news, saying... that Liu woke up yesterday and has been cursing you..."

Hearing Liu Yunxiang scolding her, Lin Jinyan picked up the teacup without caring:
"Second Aunt knew yesterday that I was the one who settled Aunt Xu and bought the house, so she scolded her harshly. What's more, I asked you to knock her out, so she must be even angrier.

Go ahead and scold her. Let Lin Shun and Manou know these words in the next two days, and pass them on to grandparents. My sister's marriage is settled, and my second uncle has someone to rely on. He will no longer be afraid of Minister Liu. Divorcing her is only a matter of time, so let her do whatever she wants."

Hong Jiu swallowed his saliva: "The messenger said... When Liu scolded you, she said... After causing the lady to fall and have a difficult childbirth, she should not have been soft-hearted and should have killed you and the young master..."

As soon as Hong Jiu finished speaking, he heard the sharp sound of porcelain breaking. He looked up and saw the broken teacup in front of Lin Jinyan's toes, and the hem of her skirt was also wet with tea.

Lin Jinyan's color faded completely, and she seemed to have forgotten to breathe. She stared straight at Hong Jiu who was speaking, until Bai Zhi held her hand. She blinked her eyes and breathed deeply, letting Bai Zhi help her back to sit down. She calmed her mind and looked at Hong Jiu again:
"What else did Liu Yunxiang say?"

Avoiding the murderous gaze like a sharp blade, Hong Jiu looked at Lin Jinyan's fingertips that were whitening from excessive force as she gripped the edge of the table:
"After saying this, Liu Momoh covered her mouth. Liu Momoh sternly told the servants that whoever dared to spread the news would have his tongue cut off."

After hearing this, Lin Jinyan knew that this was not just an empty talk, otherwise Liu Momo would never have such an attitude.

Bai Zhi felt distressed and angry after hearing this. She cursed Liu Yunxiang while comforting Lin Jinyan.

Lin Jinyan gritted her teeth, her eyes reddened with shock, heartache and anger, her whole body trembling, her heart full of murderous intent, making her want to take a knife and torture Liu Yunxiang to death immediately! Giving birth is a matter of life and death for women. Everyone thought that her mother's death was an accident, and even her grandfather and the others did not doubt it at all.

She and her brother were not only born without their mother's love, they also had no memory of their mother. They could only know what their mother looked like through their father's drawings. They felt extremely guilty towards their mother, thinking that they had killed her...

But now I know that my mother's death was man-made, and she allowed the murderer to live under her nose until now! She is unworthy of being a son!
After she was reborn, she planned to settle accounts with the second wife and her family of three. However, she spared their lives because of their advanced age. After her grandmother's parents passed away, she would let the three of them be buried with them.

But now... there is no need to stay.

Jin Palace.

Chu Chengyao has been very busy these past few days. His desk is filled with official documents from the Ministry of Personnel, the assets of officials in the Ministry of Personnel, and documents of transactions with other officials...

After Zhong Yi finished reporting all the news, Chu Chengyao looked up with a tired look of surprise:

"Everyone is dead? And we don't even know who killed them?"

Zhong Yi lowered his eyes in shame:

"All those involved in the rumor died overnight. I found something fishy and sent people to investigate, but they didn't find any trace..."
