Chapter 199 Willing to join the game and make a bet
Seeing that He Wenqi remained silent for a long time, Shen Qing raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why, is this question difficult to answer? Or does He Ergong not recognize it at all?"
After he finished speaking, he continued: "I heard before that the second father-in-law of the He family has a very good temperament. He has been married to his first wife but has always been as loving as before. After his first wife died of illness, he was even more painful and couldn't control himself. He didn't leave the house for half a year. Could it be that Is the rumor wrong?”
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 thinking just now, where did my sister-in-law find this dress, and what happened to the blood on it? "
While talking, He Wenqi always looked at the orchid on Fangzhi's hand and skirt with a lingering gaze. 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, "Mr. He, I wonder where you were on the First Festival this year?"
The Shang Festival is not an ordinary day, it is 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 didn't go out, so I bought lanterns for others."
Mu Lingyue did not answer, but turned to look at He Wenbin, "Where is Grand Duke He?"
He Wenbin's face sank, "What does this have to do with me?"
Shen Yi'an, the leader, didn't know Mu Lingyue's intention, but that didn't stop him from helping, "Just say what you say, is it because you are 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 Shen Yi'an supported him, he still didn't believe that Mu Lingyue, a woman, would cause any trouble.
He Wenbin also became honest, "I don't like to join in the fun, I just stay at home."
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 a few steps.
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 the tray was a delicate and small dagger, with a few faint traces of dried blood.
Mu Lingyue raised her head and glanced at the He family's lords one by one, "Whose dagger do you think belongs to you?"
As soon as these words came out, He Wenqi's face immediately turned pale.
Mu Lingyue actually found this thing?
The room fell into a brief silence, and it was obvious that no one was prepared to recognize him.
"No one admits it, right? Let me tell you, this dagger was made by one of the best weapon forges in the city. The person who bought it is you, Grand Duke He."
He Wenbin pursed his lips, pretended to identify it carefully, and then said: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember 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. ”
However, Shen Qing smiled and said: "What Grand Duke He said makes sense. A good collector always treasures his collection, but when it comes to you, it doesn't matter if you have more or less. It shows how good you are. The name of collecting weapons 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 he asked angrily: "What do you mean, brother and sister? Do you doubt that I killed my second brother and sister?"
He Wensheng quickly spoke up and said, "Lingyue, my eldest brother has always been pure and kind. It's just too much for you to doubt my eldest brother based on this alone!"
He Wenqi also had a cold expression on his face, "꺘Sister-in-law, although I am Yingying's husband, I believe that my eldest brother was wrongly accused. What on earth do you want to do?"
Mu Lingyue put the dagger back on the tray, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "I didn't say that the second sister-in-law was killed by Grand Duke He, right? But you are so anxious, could it be a real ghost?"
Everyone was startled, and then Mu Lingyue continued: "In that case, Grand Duke He might as well explain what this dagger is about."
After finishing speaking, he looked at He Wenqi with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, "Er Gong He claims to have a deep love for his first wife, but now there are many doubts but he has no intention of going into details. This makes people have to doubt your deep love." , is it true or false?”
He Wenqi didn't even want to think about it and reprimanded directly, "꺘Sister-in-law, it's in vain that Fei 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 my brothers and sisters, and I don't know why the scars matched each other, but if it's My brothers and sisters are really suspicious, I am willing to open the coffin and do an autopsy to prove my innocence!"
If there were no scars on Cong's body, then all Mu Lingyue's claims would be self-defeating.
He Wenqi's eyes immediately turned red, and he looked angry as if he couldn't bear to see his wife 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 said 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 brothers of the He family were united in looking 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 with a kiss that an elder would use to scold a younger generation: "My dear wife, the Dali Temple needs solid evidence when handling cases, 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 perform an autopsy without caring about 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, and the bloody clothing and dagger are nothing more than to confuse them and reveal their true colors.
As for opening the coffin and performing an autopsy, 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 push herself into a deeper quagmire.
Everyone in the He family had obviously thought of this. They all looked at Mu Lingyue with an oppressive look on their faces, trying to lure her into a deeper trap as if they were teasing prey.
Mu Lingyue knelt down in front of Shen Yian again, falling into the trap as the He family 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 no longer be able to stay in this filthy place. Please allow me and Lady He to divorce. If not, Lingyue is willing to let the He family deal with her!"
