The strange man finished gnawing on the roasted chicken but saw Yang Ruxin not continuing to question him. Instead, he couldn’t hold his impatience, called out twice without any response, and finally returned to the straw pile to sleep in frustration.
Outside, ever since the incident with Wang Zhengzheng, people were sent to the Wang Family in Haijin City to inform them, and Wang Zhengzheng’s parents hurried over upon receiving the news.
They entered Beijing as darkness fell.
However, Xu ngying strongly requested to see her daughter first, so they went to the mortuary.
Upon seeing Wang Zhengzheng’s body, Xu ngying cried desperately, as if life were leaving her.
"Ah Ying." An Ning County Lord, accompanying her, also began to cry, "Stop crying, or Zhengzheng will be restless."
"Mother, wasn’t my daughter fine before? How could she suddenly..." Xu ngying really couldn’t accept it, "How could she be gone?"
"ngying." Wang Jingze hurried to embrace his wife, "The County Lord has promised to avenge Zhengzheng. You must also take care of your health, or if our daughter knows you’re ill for her, she won’t be at peace either..."
After much persuading, they finally cald Xu ngying down.
Xu ngying dried her tears and looked toward the An Ning County Lord, "Mother, who could be so cruel?"
"It’s..." The An Ning County Lord’s face was sullen, "It’s Yang Ruxin." Although it wasn’t confird, who else could it be if not her?
"County Lord, there’s no evidence yet to prove that Madam Ruyi killed Miss Wang, so..."
"If not her, then who else?" The An Ning County Lord sharply interrupted Jiang Bo Ye, "It was after eating her pills that my Zhengzheng..." Suddenly she widened her eyes at Jiang Guanyu, "Cha Anbo, were you bribed by Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng? Why do you keep defending her?"
"Yang Ruxin? I want her to pay with her life..." Xu ngying cried out, "I want to see her, I want to seek justice for my daughter personally."
"Madam Wang, they said the matter has not yet been clarified."
"Who are you?" Xu ngying looked at Gu Qingheng.
"I am Gu Qingheng."
"You’re the husband of that murderer?" Xu ngying glared at Gu Qingheng with venomous eyes, "Then of course you’ll shield her, you should die with her..." As she spoke, she rushed forward, raising her hand to slap.
However, her arm was suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Du Juan coldly looked at Xu ngying, "Madam Wang had better wait until things are clarified before blaming, otherwise what if you’re proven wrong?"
"Who are you?" Xu ngying turned to look at Du Juan.
"Who I am doesn’t matter; what matters is if madam lands this slap, it’s assaulting an imperial court officer, a cri you can’t bear."
"A re servant dares to stop ?" Xu ngying’s face twisted, "Soone, beat her to death for !"
"Who dares!" Gu Qingheng sneered, "Madam Wang, such authority!"
Facing Gu Qingheng’s icy, shivering gaze, Xu ngying suddenly felt a little intimidated.
"The matter hasn’t been investigated, yet madam concludes? Then what are all the officials for? What is the Governor’s Office for? What is the Emperor for?" Gu Qingheng was really angry, "This general considers your loss and grief understandable, but if you continue this unreasonable behavior, don’t bla this general for being unkind!"
Wang Jingze frowned, "General Gu, such imposing might."
