Chapter 199 Willing to Join the Game and Make a Bet
Seeing that He Wenqi was silent for a long time, Shen Qing raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why, is this question difficult to answer? Or does the Second Young Master He not recognize it at all?"
After he finished speaking, he continued: "I heard before that the second son of the He family has a very good temperament. He has been married to his first wife for three years but has always been as loving as before. After his first wife died of illness, he couldn't control himself. He didn't leave the house for half a year. Could it be that there are rumors? error?"
He Wenqi's expression tightened, and his brain quickly made a judgment, "Ms. Shen is overthinking. Yingying and I have a deep love for each other, so I naturally recognize that this is her favorite dress. As for the blood stains on it, please forgive me. Identification, besides, I was just thinking about where did the third brother and sister find this dress, and what happened to the blood on it?"
During the conversation, He Wenqi always looked at the orchid on the dress in Fangzhi's hand, and when he touched the blood, a cool color flashed between his eyebrows.
He Wenqi thought very clearly that Cong had been dead for half a year, and the body must have been rotten beyond recognition, so he was not afraid even if the coffin was opened for autopsy.
Mu Lingyue didn't answer, but glanced at Fangzhi from the corner of her eye. The latter understood and walked towards the door.
Mu Lingyue then raised her head and looked at He Wenqi, "Second Master He, I wonder where you are on the Lantern Festival this year?"
The Lantern Festival is not an ordinary day, but an annual Lantern Festival, so it would be too suspicious to say that I have forgotten it, so He Wenqi said: "I remember that day clearly. I faced the cold wind and could not go out, so I Some people came back with lanterns.”
Mu Lingyue did not answer, but turned to look at He Wenbin, "Where is Mr. He?"
He Wenbin's face sank, "What does this have to do with me?"
Shen Yi'an, who was in charge, didn't know Mu Lingyue's intention, but that didn't stop him from helping. "Just say what you say. Is there something in your heart that is so hesitant?"
Hearing Shen Yi'an's voice, He Shilang, who was about to talk, instantly swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.
Although he had Shen Yi'an's support, he still didn't believe that Mu Lingyue, a woman, could cause any trouble.
He Wenbin also became honest, "I don't like to join in the fun, just stay in the house."
Mu Lingyue looked at He Wensheng again, He Wensheng choked in his throat, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, "I am also in the house."
Afraid of Mu Lingyue asking again, He Wensheng quickly lowered his head.
He Wenyue wondered why Mu Lingyue kept asking them one by one. He was about to say that he went to Zuixian Tower that day and had fun with Hongyu girl five times a night, but he didn't want Mu Lingyue to go directly past him and stopped asking.
At this moment, Fangzhi walked in from the door, holding a black lacquered wooden tray in both hands. On top of the tray was a delicate and small dagger, and some faint traces of dried blood could be seen.
Mu Lingyue raised her head and glanced at the three young masters of the He family in turn, "Who do you think this dagger belongs to?"
As soon as these words came out, He Wenqi and the others immediately turned pale.
Mu Lingyue actually found this thing?
There was a brief silence in the room, and it was clear that no one was prepared to acknowledge him.
"No one admits it, right? Then let me tell the three of you that this dagger was made by one of the best weapon forges in the city, and the person who bought it is you, Mr. He."
He Wenbin pursed his lips and pretended to recognize it carefully before saying, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it clearly. The entire He family knows that I like to collect weapons, so it's normal that I didn't notice it for a while."
Shen Qing smiled and said: "What Mr. He said is a bit interesting. A good collector always treasures his collection, but with you, it doesn't matter if you have more or less. It shows that you are such a good collector. The name of the weapon is untrue.”
He Wenbin frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Mu Lingyue picked up the dagger and compared it with the hole on the chest of the blood-stained dress. Everyone found that they matched perfectly.
Seeing this, He Wenbin felt a chill in his heart, and then asked angrily: "What do the third younger siblings mean by these words? Do you doubt that I killed the second younger siblings?"
He Wensheng quickly helped: "Lingyue, my eldest brother has always been pure and kind. You are going too far to doubt my eldest brother based on this alone!"
He Wenqi also had a cold look on his face, "Third brother and sister, although I am Yingying's husband, I believe that my eldest brother was wronged. What on earth do you want to do?"
Mu Lingyue put the dagger in her hand back on the tray, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "I didn't say that Mr. He killed the second sister-in-law, right? But the three of them are so anxious. Could it be that there is really a ghost?"
The three of them were startled, and then Mu Lingyue continued: "In that case, Mr. He might as well explain what this dagger is about."
After saying that, he looked at He Wenqi with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, "Young Master He claims to have a deep love for his wife, but now there are many doubts but he has no intention of going into details. This makes people have to doubt whether your love is deep or not. Is it true or false?”
He Wenqi didn't even want to think about it and reprimanded directly, "Third brother and sister, it's in vain that Yingying was so kind to you during her lifetime, but you arranged our relationship like this after she passed away. Don't you think it's too chilling!"
Mu Lingyue did not respond, but looked at He Wenbin, who had an ugly face. The latter pondered for a long time before responding: "I don't know why this dagger got into the hands of the third brother and sister, and I don't know why the scars matched each other, but if it was the third brother and sister, If you really doubt it, I am willing to open the coffin and do an autopsy to prove my innocence!”
As long as there are no scars on Cong's body, all Mu Lingyue's claims will be self-defeating.
He Wenqi's eyes immediately turned red, and he looked angry as if he couldn't bear to see his wife being humiliated, "Mu Lingyue, how long are you going to make trouble? Do you have to let Yingying die and not rest in peace?"
He Wensheng also frowned and blamed with a look of disapproval: "Lingyue, I know I was sorry for you before, but you are really wrong to be like this now."
The three brothers of the He family were unanimous and looked at Mu Lingyue with unfriendly faces. This situation made Shen Qing think of the previous siege by the Mu family in Yangling Marquis Mansion. The two scenes were so similar.
Minister He said to Mu Lingyue in the tone of an elder scolding a younger generation: "Third wife, the Dali Temple handles cases with solid evidence, but you just found an old piece of clothing and a dagger from the second wife and slandered your eldest brother for killing someone. Now you want to open the coffin and examine the body regardless of the harmony of the family, disturbing the peace of the family. If you continue like this, I am afraid that my He family will no longer tolerate you."
At this point, Minister He has determined that Mu Lingyue has no real evidence in her hands. The bloody clothes and dagger are nothing more than to confuse them and reveal their true colors.
As for opening the coffin and examining the body, it is even more nonsense, because Minister He knows very well that even if it really comes to this, Mu Lingyue will not get what she wants, but will only push herself into a deeper quagmire.
Everyone in the He family has obviously thought of this level, and they all look at Mu Lingyue with oppression, as if teasing prey and wanting to lead her into a deeper trap.
Mu Lingyue knelt down in front of Shen Yian again, falling into the trap of the He family as they wished. "In this case, please, Lord, bear witness for Lingyue: If Lingyue can prove that the death of my second sister-in-law was caused by the He family, then Lingyue will naturally not be able to stay in this filthy place any longer. Please allow me and the third son of the He family to divorce. If not, Lingyue is willing to let the He family deal with me!"
