Chapter 202 Imprisoning the First Wife and Killing the Younger Brother's Wife
Wu Zuo's affirmation completely shattered the last bit of luck in He Shilang's heart.
Cong's parents, who were standing nearby, stepped forward and examined the bones in front of Minister He.
The blood does not melt, and the true and false can be determined.
Shen Yi'an didn't waste any time talking to him, and directly announced the result, "Shilang He, the daughter-in-law you called was not a daughter of the Cong family, but the unknown corpse Mu Lingyue found was a blood relative of the Cong family's parents. How do you explain this? "
He Shilang frowned fiercely. It was obvious that the worst result had been reached now. Mu Lingyue actually found Cong's bones.
Before Minister He could speak, the Cong couple had already knelt in front of Shen Yi'an, praying with pain on their faces: "Master Marquis, although I am not from a wealthy family, Yingying is the only daughter of the villain and his wife. Now he died in an unknown manner, please ask Mr. Hou to make the decision for the villain and give justice to my daughter! "
Shen Yi'an comforted the two of them and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
Then he looked at Minister He again and asked him to give an explanation.
He Shilang's expression condensed, as if he had made some decision, and then turned around and slapped He Wenqi hard, "You traitor! Tell me, what's going on?"
He Wenqi was stunned and fell to his knees subconsciously, but he didn't say anything for a long time because He Wenqi didn't know what to say.
Shen Qing's voice came from outside, "Since the Second Young Master He doesn't know where to start, why not let the First Young Master He help you think about it."
He Wenqi looked up and saw Shen Qing leading everyone in from the outside. He Wenbin was being held down by several boys, and the situation seemed to be more difficult than him.
Doubts arose in my mind. Could it be that something happened to He Wenbin?
It wasn't until he met Li's hateful eyes that He Wenqi realized something was wrong. Wasn't Li... crazy a long time ago?
At this time, Mrs. Li had changed into a clean dress, and she and Mu Lingyue knelt down in front of Shen Yi'an and told the whole truth, "Master Marquis, the death of the second young lady of the He family was caused by the eldest son of the He family, He Wenbin. Together with the second son of the He family, He Wenqi, this matter was witnessed by my own eyes. Please give me justice!"
"First tell the truth. If what you say is true, I, as the great prince of Chu, will definitely not let such a moth go."
Mrs. Li nodded heavily and began to describe the cause and effect from the beginning, "Back to the Marquis, my daughter was originally the second daughter of the Li family of the Taifu Temple Shaoqing. She was married to Shilang He's house four years ago..."
When Mrs. Li first married into the He family, she and He Wenbin were in harmony with each other.
He Wenbin was good at dancing with the sword, and Mrs. Li was playing the piano at the side. Everyone in the house said that the two were a match made in heaven.
However, such a peaceful and harmonious day only lasted for just one year before it was completely broken.
Mrs. Li clearly remembered that that day was the Lantern Festival three years ago. Everyone in the mansion was granted leave by Minister He and went out to enjoy the lanterns one after another. Because He Wenbin was ill, she stayed in the mansion to accompany him. .
But just when the moon was above the branches, He Wenqi pushed aside the woman guarding the door, came to her courtyard, threw her on the bed, and intended to do something wrong to her.
Li desperately called for help, but no one heard her. However, she woke up He Wenbin, who had been sleeping.
Li's eyes were full of joy, thinking that the savior had come, but she didn't expect that He Wenbin's waking up would pull her into a deeper abyss.
The moment he saw He Wenbin open his eyes, He Wenqi not only did not panic, but also smiled relaxedly and said: "Brother, stop pretending and help me quickly. Madam like you, you have a very fierce temper."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li paused suddenly, with a bit of struggle flashing in her eyes.
The next scene was one she never wanted to recall in her life, but now, in order for her and Cong's grievances to be vindicated, she had to expose her own scars again.
On the other side, He Wenqi obviously no longer wanted to hear what Li was going on and quickly interrupted: "What are you talking about? I have never done such a thing!"
Shen Qing thought he was noisy, so she asked Fu Yi to find a rag and plug his mouth directly, and the room instantly became quiet.
Mrs. Li calmed down for a while before continuing: "After He Wenbin woke up, he did not save me from He Wenqi's clutches as I imagined, but instead helped He Wenqi hold down my hands and feet..."
In order to make it easier for He Wenqi to act, He Wenbin also helped him tie Mr. Li's hands and feet to the bedrail with strips of cloth, and then watched helplessly as his own brother violated his wife.
That night, the lights in the whole house stayed on all night, and Li's screams continued all night long.
From that day on, He Wenbin claimed that Li was ill, but in fact he imprisoned Li in disguise. As a result, He Wenqi became more unscrupulous and visited Qinghe Courtyard more frequently.
Because the two of them took turns to commit violence, Ms. Li became pregnant not long after. Ms. Li thought that by having a child, she would be able to temporarily escape from the clutches of the two of them, but she didn't expect that neither He Wenbin nor He Wenqi cared about it. For that child, all they care about is their own happiness.
As Mrs. Li continued to be ill for a long time, her mother-in-law's family also vaguely noticed that something was wrong. However, because He Shilang was his immediate boss, they could only give up this idea temporarily after several failed investigations.
Later, He Wenqi met Cong by chance when he was out of Beijing.
Cong was beautiful and had a simple and straightforward temperament. He Wenqi fell in love with her at first sight, and then insisted on marrying her regardless of her humble business background. Although He Shilang was unwilling, he could not resist him.
After He Wenqi married Cong, Li's life was a little better, but it didn't last long.
Because He Wenbin, who had seen Cong's beauty, also had evil thoughts about her, and He Wenqi, who had always been on good terms with his brother, was not stingy, so Cong followed in Li's footsteps.
Compared with Li, Cong's temper was actually more fierce, but she couldn't stand the fact that her parents' lives were in the hands of He Wenqi, so she could only compromise again and again.
Qingheyuan became a nightmare for both of them.
With successive miscarriages, Li's body and mind were greatly damaged, and her spirit became more and more confused. At this time, it was Cong who told her to pretend to be crazy, because only by pretending to be crazy could she survive.
As for Cong herself, she had already made up her mind to die.
Unlike Li, she had neither a prominent family background nor a family background of officials, so even if she struggled to the end, she would only drag down her parents.
For her, only death could bring relief.
So when Mu Lingyue was about to become a new member of Qingheyuan, Cong used her life to protect her, and with her death, she exchanged for a girl who was equally innocent and did not have to suffer the suffering she had suffered.
Cong died, but she got what she wanted.
Cong's death finally alarmed Minister He, who also learned about the absurd things his two sons had done in the past few years.
However, although Minister He was angry, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. For the reputation of the He family and his own official position, he chose to suppress everything.
