Chapter 48 Confusing the real with the fake
Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan, who were secretly following outside the courtyard, were slightly startled. They looked at each other and did not move tacitly, both suspecting that the other might be bluffing.

However, Madam Wang turned around and said, "Master Zhuo, Master Chu, there's no need to suspect I'm deceiving you. You two were able to follow me here because of my instructions. Don't forget, this is the Wang family. I already knew when you two left to look for me."

After hearing this, Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan knew that there was no need to hide anymore, so they came out.

Zhuo Qingfeng bowed and said, "Madam Wang, are you ready to help me solve my doubts?"

Madam Wang smiled and said, "Lord Zhuo has been investigating in my house for so long today. He must have some guesses, right? Why don't you tell me so that I can see how much of your guess is true?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I suspect Mr. Wang is not dead. What we saw that day was a fake death substitute that Mr. Wang had prepared in advance."

"Huh!" Madam Wang was a little surprised. "How did Lord Zhuo guess that? Is it just because I'm still respected in the Wang family?"

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "That's just one of the reasons. Madam Wang and Mr. Wang were a couple who got married later in life. Now that Mr. Wang is dead, you're still the mistress of the family and hold all the power. It's very unusual. After thinking about it, there can only be one reason, and that's that Daddy's not dead yet. So for the young masters of the Wang family, the stepmother is still the mother."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "What about the second one?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Secondly, and most importantly, I secretly visited Mr. Wang's grave last night. The tomb was built a bit perfunctorily and doesn't quite meet Mr. Wang's specifications."

"Any more?"

"Yes, I dug up Mr. Wang's grave." Zhuo Qingfeng said.

Mrs. Wang asked doubtfully, "Then you shouldn't be able to find anything? The body has already rotted."

"Yes," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I didn't find anything, but a day has passed, and no one in the Wang family has noticed that Mr. Wang's grave has been dug up. This is abnormal. It can only mean that the young masters of the Wang family don't care about this "father" at all. If they don't care about their father, how can they respect their stepmother? That's obviously impossible. It can only mean that Mr. Wang is not dead."

Madam Wang nodded and said, "These are indeed some mistakes. So, what did Lord Zhuo want to do by coming to see me tonight?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "You have framed me and made me a wanted criminal. So, I am going to kill you to see if Mr. Wang can still hide. If he can, I will kill his sons, then his grandsons. I believe that he will eventually be unable to hide."

Madam Wang covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, saying, "Master Zhuo, you're joking. I know exactly who you are. You wouldn't do such a thing."

"You know me so well?"

"If we didn't understand Lord Zhuo clearly, how could we set up such a big scheme against him?" Mrs. Wang said.

Zhuo Qingfeng sighed and said, "After hearing what Madam said, I finally understood. In fact, there are no three great guards, and there is no Wood King treasure, right? This is all just a story, right?"

Mrs. Wang was very interested and asked, "How did Lord Zhuo make this judgment?"

"From the very beginning, we were wrong," Zhuo Qingfeng said. "It started with the notice of Silver Fox's death, which set the stage for this drama. Then I naturally joined the game. Later, Silver Fox used amazing means to successfully assassinate Wang Yuanbao and kill many of my colleagues. All of these things were to pave the way for the lies about the three guards and the Wood King's treasure, making this story more credible.

Afterwards, the frame-up in Dadeng Valley further deepened the story of the Wooden King's treasure, making everyone believe it was true, and further made the truth of the lie even higher, to the point where it was almost impossible for anyone to doubt it.

Then, the third step is to deliberately leave clues to let me see the problem and lead me to come to the Wang family to investigate again. I think this place is already a dragnet, and Master Chu and I have entered a dead end, right, Madam Wang?"

Madam Wang smiled slightly and said, "You will all die tonight, but Supervisor Chu Yuan will not die for the time being. He will die at the hands of Zhuo Qingfeng, in the place where the Wood King's treasure is hidden. And the wanted criminal Zhuo Qingfeng will also disappear forever along with the Wood King's descendants, along with the Wood King's treasure."

Chu Yuan looked bewildered and asked, "I am the last link in this lie?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "So, the real descendants of King Mu are from the Wang family?"

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then why did you set up such a big scheme?" Zhuo Qingfeng asked doubtfully, "The treasure is fake? The three guards are fake. What is the purpose of this lie?"

Mrs. Wang said, "It was built for the Wang family."

Having said that, Madam Wang pondered for a moment and said, “It’s been over a hundred years since the Mu Palace was destroyed, but the royal family still refuses to let go of the Mu Palace lineage and has been tracking it down.

My master's surname is Wang, which is the same as the Wang of Mu Wang. Originally, we have lived here for several generations. We have no intention of rebelling. Even our ancestors did not want to rebel. When the Mu Wang Mansion was involved in the rebellion case, the Mu Wang Mansion was completely wronged.

But after so many years, not only has the Mu Palace not been vindicated, but the royal family is still pressing forward, determined to eradicate it. We have no choice but to fabricate this lie to rid our Wang family of our identity as descendants of the Mu Palace."

Zhuo Qingfeng said slowly: "So, Silver Fox is yours, and so are White-headed Old Man and Scholar!"

"Including the hermit, they are all our people," Madam Wang said. "We made up this story to lure you, Lord Zhuo, into the game so that our Wang family can move from being descendants of the Wood King to being descendants of his guards. From now on, we no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the royal family."

Zhuo Qingfeng said slowly, "So, the hermit, the scholar, and the old man with white hair all faked their deaths in order to escape. Whether they changed their appearances or kept their identities secret, these three people would no longer exist, and no one would think they were related to the descendants of the Wood King."

"Yes," Madam Wang said, "If we really want to talk about the three guards of the Mu Palace, when we made up this story, we based it on these three people. They are indeed descendants of the Mu Palace's retainers, and they are still loyal to our Wang family. However, they have also been discovered by the royal family, so they also need a chance to die properly and leave the world's sight."

Zhuo Qingfeng sighed deeply and said, "I understand, I understand, I understand everything.

In order to dispel your identity as the Wood King's descendant, Wang Yuanbao and you fabricated a story about three great guards and the Wood King's treasure. Your purpose was to lure me into the scheme and then lure Lord Chu to finish it off. This is the truest form of deception!"
