182. The bloody case caused by a skirt
The residence that Nangong Heng asked his subordinates to prepare for Qin Zheng and his daughter was a small house not far from the Ning Prince's Mansion.
Although the house is small, it has everything.
Qin Zheng brought Qin Yiru over, Qin Yiru cried all the way, and Qin Zheng kept comforting. After arriving here, the servants brought light food. Qin Zheng accompanied Qin Yiru to eat some, asked the maid to take a shower, change clothes, and let Qin Yiru go to rest.
"Aru, don't cry, my father said it, it's not your fault." Qin Zheng helped Qin Yiru lie down, looking at her and said earnestly, "Anyway, you don't like Aheng anymore, don't care what he said? Take a good rest. Feng Buyi will return to Xiliang City today. When the time comes, go find him for his father, ask him for help and treat you. Your face and your eyes will be better."
Qin Yiru had red eyes and nodded gently, "Thank you dad..."
"Thank you, you stupid kid, go to bed quickly. If you are injured, you need to rest more and not be so serious." Qin Zheng covered Qin Yiru with a quilt and patted him gently, "A Yuan is back today, so he will make delicious food for you and make good supplements."
"Yes." Qin Yiru responded well.
Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru with his eyes closed before turning around and going out.
When he got outside the door, he looked back and saw Qin Zheng sighing deeply. Although he didn't blame Qin Yiru, now thinking about what happened in Xiaoyao Valley, Qin Yiru did not handle it well enough and lost his mind in the face of the crisis. Especially compared with Ye Ling, who was both wise and brave, it was much worse.
From Qin Zheng's perspective, Nangong Heng and Ye Ling are a combination of heaven and join forces. As for Qin Yiru, it seems that this is not good if he is protected too well. After all, the girl wants to get married when her family is grown, and he cannot protect Qin Yiru for the rest of her life.
So Qin Zheng decided to be more strict with Qin Yiru from today and not to spoil her anymore.
In fact, Qin Zheng has been exhausted both physically and mentally these days. His internal injuries have not recovered and he has just relaxed. He feels so tired that he returns to his room and falls asleep.
When Qin Zheng woke up, it was already sunset.
When he opened his eyes, he found someone sitting in the room. Qin Zheng looked shocked, and then he found that it was Nangong Heng.
Qin Zheng got up and got out of bed, stretched his body. He didn't even change his clothes, but he was still sloppy and tattered. When he went out, he said he was a beggar.
"Aheng, why are you here?" Qin Zheng sat down by the table, held a teapot, poured a cup of cold tea, and poured it down.
As soon as Qin Zheng put down the teacup, his hand was pulled over by Nangong Heng.
Nangong Heng took Qin Zheng's pulse and frowned slightly and said, "Master has suffered several serious internal injuries in the past two years. It is best not to use force or practice. Rest well for a while, otherwise your body will collapse."
Listening to Nangong Heng's concern, Qin Zheng laughed happily, "Boy, you have become a relative, have you changed your sexual desire? Didn't you always like to call a master before? Why are you pretending to be deep?"
Nangong Heng curled his lips slightly, and his signature joking smile appeared again, "Stinky old man, be kind to you, you can't stand it, right? Okay, I have to abuse you next, don't give you food or drink, give you a broken bowl and let you go to the street to beg for food!"
Qin Zheng wanted to beat someone up after hearing this, but he felt comfortable and pleasant inexplicably. He couldn't help laughing, "You little brat, dream! From now on, I will rely on you for your master. Eat yours and drink yours, and rely on you to support me in the future!"
"I need to think about this." Nangong Heng said with a smile.
"Rejection is invalid, it's decided!" Qin Zheng slapped the table, "Is Xiaoye girl better? Why don't you stay with her? What's so good about me? Is there anything to do with me?"
"Xiao Yezi is weak and needs to take care of her. Take your time. I have something to do to find my master, and then I will go back to accompany her after I say that. You old man are really nothing good to look at." Nangong Heng said with a smile.
Nangong Heng became serious, Qin Zheng felt uncomfortable. Nangong Heng retorted him, and Qin Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, "If you have something to say! By the way, I heard from Kaiyang that Xiao Fengfeng will be back today. Isn't it true? It doesn't matter if you don't want to treat Aru. Master understands you, just stay with Xiao Ye. Master asks Xiao Fengfeng to treat Aru, his medical skills are better than you! You shouldn't stop this, right? Otherwise, you will be really angry for your master!"
Nangong Heng shook his head, "Master, there is something I want to tell you, you must hold on after hearing it."
"What's the matter? Xiao Fengfeng is not coming back?" Qin Zheng frowned.
"That won't be possible. They are expected to arrive at home at night. It's Qin Yiru's business," said Nangong Heng.
"What's wrong with Aru? Don't you even want to see her? She explained that matter clearly." Qin Zheng still defended Qin Yiru in his words, and suddenly felt that Nangong Heng was a little too targeted by Qin Yiru.
Nangong Heng looked serious, "Master, you were deceived by her."
Qin Zheng's face darkened, "Aheng, if you have no evidence, don't make random guesses and slander Aru."
"I have evidence." Nangong Heng told Qin Zheng that he went to see Yu Shu and the conversation took place.
"Master, what I told Yu Shu was made up by me, but he admitted it was the fact. He knew it was fake, but he did not deny it. He was determined to protect Qin Yiru. There must be something wrong with them." Nangong Heng said to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng frowned fiercely, "This... this is just an inference! You can't believe Yu Shu's words!"
"Yes, he is just lying, because I made up a random story, but he immediately admitted that it was something that really happened. Telling the truth does not require a purpose, but a person who lies deliberately must have ulterior motives!" Nangong Heng said.
"If you are right, what you are saying is true, then..." Qin Zheng looked ugly and couldn't continue to say anything.
If the story compiled by Nangong Heng happened to be right, Yu Shu did not lie, but instead proved more directly that Qin Yiru must be lying! Because the version she told was different from what Nangong Heng said! There is a big difference!
And if the facts are true as Nangong Heng said, Qin Yiru could tell them directly, then she could prove that she is innocent and there is no reason to cover it up!
If what Qin Yiru said was true, the fake story made up by Nangong Heng was admitted by Yu Shu, and if Yu Shu lied and insisted on finding a purpose, it would be to help Qin Yiru cover up something.
Why does it need to be covered up? Why did Yu Shu help Qin Yiru? This can directly prove that Qin Yiru is not clean and must have done something he shouldn't have done. There is a handle in Yu Shu's hands. Yu Shu is unwilling to betray her, because the purpose is to find opportunities in the future and still be able to use her!
Qin Zheng was just a little simple-minded, but not stupid.
Nangong Heng made a small move and Yu Shu made a simple reaction. The problem behind this is too obvious! No matter from which angle, Qin Yiru has problems!
Seeing Qin Zheng's face look ugly, Nangong Heng continued, "There is another thing, but my guess is not confirmed, but I am more than 70% sure. That day, Yu Shu hung Xiao Yezi and Qin Yiru on the edge of the cliff, so that his master could only choose one to live. It is probably Qin Yiru's idea."
Qin Zheng stared at Nangong Heng with disbelief, "You...what were you saying? This is impossible! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Master, as far as I know, you were caught there with Qin Yiru. At first, you were locked up in the same place. Soon, Qin Yiru was taken away. You don't know where she went and what she did. If the master was caught, it was a conspiracy between Qin Yiru and Yu Shu, then they were in a cooperative relationship. During that time, Yu Shu would not treat Qin Yiru badly. Just say one thing, the clothes Qin Yiru wore when she was hung on a tree were not her own." Nangong Heng said.
Qin Zheng frowned, puzzled for a moment, "What does this have to do with clothes?"
"The master was only concerned about her safety at that time, and maybe he didn't notice it. But Xiao Yezi noticed this detail. When he was hung on the tree that day, Qin Yiru's skirt was very new, not dirty or damaged, but not fit. It was too long, and it looked like Wanyan You's clothes." Nangong Heng said.
Qin Zheng's eyes shrank slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the clothes on Qin Yiru had indeed changed that day. He only cared about the safety of Qin Yiru and Ye Ling, and did not care about this.
"If you were just to separate you and she was a prisoner, she should still have chains. Why should she wear a new skirt? This is not normal." Nangong Heng said.
"Ah, Aru was taken away because I pretended to tell Yu Shu that I would cooperate with him. Yu Shu arranged for Chi Yan to take Aru away and said that she would change her to live in a better place." Qin Zheng's face looked ugly.
"Master wants to deceive Yu Shu, did he believe it? Master really believed that Yu Shu would change Qin Yiru to a better place?" Nangong Heng asked.
Qin Zheng was silent. He was not good at lying, and Yu Shu never believed him from beginning to end. At that time, because Qin Yiru was taken away, Qin Zheng was frightened and always felt that Yu Shu would hurt her, and he never met her eyes.
So, according to common sense, Yu Shu just detained Qin Yiru in another place so as to better control Qin Zheng. In this case, Qin Yiru should not have new clothes to wear, and this is not the treatment that a hostage should have.
The new skirt that Qin Yiru snatched from Wanyan You was here today and had just been replaced. Because it was too dirty and torn, it was impossible to tell what it was, and it had been thrown away by the servants.
An inconspicuous little detail can sometimes explain many things.
Ye Ling felt something was wrong at the time and took a look at it twice, but later she fell off a cliff, saved people, broke out, was injured, and her spirit went from being very nervous to being weak now. There was no time to think about some things in between. Now, this is the direct evidence of Qin Yiru and Yu Shu collusion! And it was evidence that Qin Zheng had seen with his own eyes!
It is impossible that Yu Shu is kind-hearted and only targeted Qin Zheng. He felt a little pity for Qin Yiru, a junior who had grown up since childhood. Seeing that her clothes were dirty and torn, Wanyan You specially asked Wanyan You to offer a new skirt to change it to Qin Yiru? Yu Shu's pervert who is so heartless and can't do such a thing!
The incident of changing clothes also shows that Qin Yiru's iron chains tied to her hands and feet were taken off! At least she was taken off! Why is she a hostage? Why?
What a well-behaved, sensible and filial daughter! But in the past few years, it was Fang Yuan who was really serving Qin Zheng!
Fang Yuan is responsible for cooking and washing clothes, and even cooking for Qin Yiru and cleaning the room! Qin Yiru doesn't like to do housework, and is afraid that her delicate hands will become rough. She said that she wants to vomit when she smells the smell of oil smoke, so she never cooks a meal for Qin Zheng! The so-called filial piety is verbal!
Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru and suddenly remembered a woman buried deep in his heart.
The woman was the same back then. She was gentle and considerate to Qin Zheng, which made him unknowingly fall into the false love she woven, and acted as a cow and horse for her, and obeyed her words. In the end, the woman took advantage of Qin Zheng and got everything she wanted and turned to marry his elder brother.
Qin Zheng went to the woman to question, what are they? What is he to her? The woman was wearing an innocent face at that time, but said something that made Qin Zheng disgusted. "Didn't you say that you are willing to do it for me? If you really love me, please make me happy and respect all my choices. You have always been an honest and sincere person. If you say something you have gone back on your word, I will look down on you."
At that time, Qin Zheng felt like he had swallowed a fly. The woman meant that you like me, so I deserved to use it. If you are not happy, then you don’t really like me, but you are hypocritical...
Unexpectedly, decades later, Qin Zheng raised his daughter, whom he had raised, gave him the same feeling again. He stabbed him hard in his heart, and it hurt so bloody.
Qin Zheng couldn't imagine how a person could have two faces. In front of him, he was gentle and charming, and he was concerned about his well-being. When he turned around, he could trample all his efforts under his feet. He would do anything to achieve his goal, and he would not hesitate even if he hurt him! That woman was like this back then, and Qin Yiru is like this now!
Seeing Qin Zheng’s face calmly and silent, Qin Yiru said softly, “What’s wrong with Dad? Are you too tired? Go and rest quickly.”
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I just feel uncomfortable."
Qin Yiru looked slightly stunned, "Why?"
"I know Aheng has a prejudice against you. You are making a mistake. He doesn't want to see you. I can accept it. But he drove us out of his house like this. The more I think about it, the more I feel disappointed! I have explained to him many times that you have already known your mistake and have corrected it. He doesn't leave any affection for me. I don't care about him so much. Does he really treat me as a master?" Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.
Qin Yiru's eyes flashed slightly, and she held Qin Zheng's hand and said, "Dad, I actually have some words in my heart. I have never dared to say them, for fear that my father will be angry. Second Senior Brother was not like this before. He was so filial to his father before, and he didn't even say anything about him when he had something to do. Since he was with Ye Ling, he has changed. Not to mention me, my father was still injured and was kicked out by the Ning Palace, because it was Ning Palace, not the Ye Palace. The one who really couldn't tolerate us was Ye Ling. Second Senior Brother Now that I listen to Ye Ling, there are no one in my eyes? My father is so grateful to Ye Ling for saving you. In fact, her purpose is not to save you, but to deal with Yu Shu. She tried her best that night, and it was also to capture Yu Shu. My father was too soft-hearted. He was kind to his father, but he didn't know whether it was true or false. Dad wanted to repay ten. But if they were really filial to his father, how could he drive his father out of the house when his father was injured? No matter what, it was wrong. I felt it was not worth it for my father."
"Then, I'll kill Ye Ling and let you be with Aheng. Do you think you're okay?" Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru and asked.
Qin Yiru was stunned, "Dad, what did you... say?"
"What you mean is that Ye Ling is not good, Ye Ling is wrong, A Heng is right, it was influenced by Ye Ling, so I should not regard Ye Ling as my own person, I should break them up." Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru's eyes, and the warm love he used to be no longer.
"I...I don't have that meaning..." Qin Yiru suddenly felt that Qin Zheng's eyes were so terrifying.
"What do you mean? I feel that my heart is too soft and I am not worth it for me?" Qin Zheng asked coldly, "I also feel that it is not worth it for myself!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yiru's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she had an extremely bad premonition. She shouldn't have been in a hurry just now, and followed Qin Zheng's words and said something was wrong with Nangong Heng and Ye Ling! When she was asleep, something must have happened that she didn't know!
Thinking of this, Qin Yiru's eyes turned red and she grabbed Qin Zheng's arm and said, "Dad, just say it if you have something to say? Don't scare me. Is it... Did the second senior brother say something to my father again? I know... I know... I know that the second senior brother doesn't like me, but what did I do wrong? Because of him, we suffered a disaster. Because of Ye Ling, I was injured like this, and I became neither human nor ghost, and I was driven out by them! The second senior brother also questioned me and doubted me. I think he was trying to force me to death! It was him and Ye Ling who were worried about my past mistakes and could not tolerate me!"
Qin Yiru said, tears pouring down her tears, "Dad, I don't know what the second senior brother said to you, and I don't care what he said to you. I will never admit what I have done before. I am stupid and timid, not as powerful as them. But I have always remembered the mottos my father taught me. You must be honest with a person! I have a clear conscience! Dad is the closest person in this world. If even my father doesn't believe me, then what's the point of my life?"
Qin Zheng looked coldly, admiring Qin Yiru's "face-changing" skills. He didn't say anything, but Qin Yiru said everything. If it weren't for guilt, why did she say these words? Why did she cry?
Yes, she needed to say these righteous words, and she needed to use tears to impress him, deceive him, make him feel distressed, and make him believe. He was foolishly deceived many times, and even he was always deceived by Qin Yiru!
"Aheng said..." Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru's eyes and said word by word, "As long as you kill me, he can cure you and be with you. I guess, you are very happy, right?"
Qin Yiru's expression froze, and then shook her head violently, "Dad! What are you talking about? I'm not happy! If I have the idea of hurting my father, I will be able to die if I hit the sky with thunder!"
"You are not happy because you know what I said is fake. How could Ah Heng fall in love with you? You are selfish, hypocritical and incompetent than Xiao Ye, and you are so ugly, Ah Heng's eyes are not blind." Qin Zheng looked at Qin Yiru and said coldly.
Qin Zheng was upright and could not rub the sand in his eyes.
For the first time, Qin Yiru intended to hurt Ye Ling for Nangong Heng, which had consumed a lot of Qin Zheng's trust in her. With Qin Zheng's personality, the emotional card could make him forgive Qin Yiru once, just as she was impulsive, because Qin Yiru did not hurt Ye Ling that time.
But this time, Qin Zheng felt sorry for Qin Yiru before, and now he hated and disgusted! Because Qin Yiru's behavior touched Qin Zheng's bottom line, he was crazy!
Qin Zheng's age was because Qin Yiru grew up under his knees since he was a child, and Qin Zheng naturally would protect her, so he gave her the opportunity to deceive.
As Qin Yiru said just now, Qin Zheng only wants to have a clear conscience in his life. He never owe Qin Yiru, but Qin Yiru in turn harmed him and almost harmed Ye Ling.
This incident made Qin Zheng completely feel cold. He had no doubts at all. As long as he gave Qin Yiru a chance, sooner or later, Qin Yiru would step on his body and pursue what she wanted. Because she had proved this with her actions.
Qin Yiru looked panicked, realizing that Qin Zheng must have seen the exact evidence and knew what she had done, it would be useless for her to defend herself.
Qin Yiru rolled down from the bed, knelt on the ground, hugged Qin Zheng's legs, begging, "Dad, don't do this, don't scare me. I was wrong, I was really wrong! I beg my dad to give me another chance! I will never dare to do it again!"
Chapter completed!
