Fall in love with your enemy

Next time, after I asked about the stable, I went to interrogate the brothers Yang Yue and Yang Bin without stopping.

Seeing Yang Bin's heartbreaking look, I was already sure that Chengcheng's fall from the horse had nothing to do with him. He was just unlucky and happened to bump into him. However, the threat was not unnecessary. I still had other things to worry about. Manager Yang is here.

"Miss, if you really ask me about my young master, I have to ask myself that it's none of my business. Even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to tell you anything. Just tell me what you want me to do, as long as you let me go. Brother, I can do whatever I want..." Yang Bin was stunned for a while, and finally reacted. He really saw things more clearly than that idiot Yang Yue.

Yang Yue turned around in surprise and understood my intention.

"Since Manager Yang said so, I won't be polite." I waved, and Liang Heliang Sen immediately helped Yang Yue up and pushed him down on the bench beside him. I turned to face Yang Bin and said: "I'll give you an hour. You go to the second wife and the third wife. No matter what reason you find, you are not allowed to mention me. Bring all the horses in their houses here. Don't even think about asking for help. I will place a monitoring device on you. If there is any abnormality in the instrument, you will never see your brother again in the future. Also, you must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, if an hour exceeds one minute, I will ask someone to chop off his hand." I pointed. Refers to Yang Yue.

Yang Bin's mind was spinning rapidly, and he lay on the ground panting for a while. I guess he was thinking about the consequences of betraying the second wife and the third wife, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not escape the fate of accepting his fate.

If you listen to me, you can live for at least two more days.

Yu Zhong, die now.

Yang Bin quickly made a plan, gritted his teeth and nodded firmly: "Miss, I listen to you." After saying this, he hesitated: "But I have one more thing to say. According to what you know, , it is true that my brother is the confidant of the second wife, but the second wife may not believe me. I am the subordinate of the third wife. In order to climb up, the two brothers of us have actually been assigned to the two wives in these years. If I go to the second wife's courtyard, even if I don't say anything, I will inevitably be suspected."

"Don't worry about this. As for the second wife, you can ask Cui Yu next to her for help." I said solemnly.

"Cui Yu? That's..." Yang Bin's words were stuck in his throat before he could finish his words. After a brief surprise, he turned to fear. He whispered in a trembling voice: "Okay."

I looked at my watch: "Timer starts."

Yang Bin quickly calmed down, dusted himself off and set off. I also asked Liang He to go out to the fourth and fifth rooms. Fu Yunxin was the only one left in the original fourth room, and Fu Yunxin didn’t come back often, so There is no one to control the courtyard, and no one will say anything when holding a horse. Wufang is naturally timid and is my junior, so my people went over. The "manager" of Wufang didn't dare to say anything to me, and he didn't dare to say anything to me. Don't dare to ask, just offer the horse obediently.

After about forty minutes, Yang Bin and Liang He both came back, with the sound of horse hooves clattering behind them.

Liang Sen helped me outside the door, and I looked at all the dozens of horses.

The horses in the old house are all chosen to be the quietest and docile ones on the market, so when they stop they look like stone statues. You can’t tell much just by looking at them, so I picked up a handful of hay, gritted my teeth and stepped forward. I passed a horse, most of which were honest and obedient. At the end, I even thought that I was really too sensitive, until the horse at the end suddenly got excited, raised its hooves and suddenly jumped up.

"Miss, be careful!" Liang Sen grabbed me and backed away. I stumbled and almost fell off the slope.

"Hurry up and hold it!" Liang He shouted, and a dozen people behind me rushed forward to pull the reins.

My eyes were filled with stars, I was dazed and stunned for a long time, my heart almost jumped out of my throat with fear, but although I felt a little more uncomfortable physically, I made up for it mentally.

I am now convinced that Chengcheng’s fall from the horse was definitely not an accident. To sum up, there are three points:

First, the horse that left Chengcheng was most likely taking some kind of psychotropic drug, so it suddenly became excited and went crazy;

Second, the old house is strictly guarded and it is impossible for outsiders to enter the house, so it must be the Fu family who brought the medicine into the house;

Third, I privately paid and secretly asked an employee who was investigating with Shao Qin what the autopsy report of the horse was. He told me that the cause of death of the horse was not that it was killed by someone in the old house. , but he accidentally ate yew and was poisoned to death. This situation is not uncommon, so it cannot be used as evidence that Chengcheng was murdered. Apart from this, the only other doubtful thing is that the horse was still sick during his lifetime. Loss of appetite and frequent vomiting.

Therein lies the problem.

"Which room is this?" I asked quickly after calming down.

"This is from the second wife's room!" Yang Bin was startled, his legs weakened and he sat on the ground.

Second wife, it’s true.

My heart sank, I was afraid that I would be the one to implicate Chengcheng again this time.

The second grandma was confused because of me destroying the Xu family. She was afraid that the second uncle would break off from her again. She would definitely find a way to prove that she had no intention of harming me and blame all the previous incidents of Yu Ting and Liu Zonglan on the third grandma. , the simplest way is for her to attack Chengcheng, which will not only confuse the second uncle as a bystander, but also remind the people in the old house: since the old master is willing to value Chengcheng, the stepson, so Chengcheng Cheng Cheng will definitely have the property they want in his hands, and Cheng Cheng is the stepson. If he hurts him, the punishment will definitely be lighter than that of my biological daughter. This is a worthy business.

Even if the second mistress probably knows that Chengcheng is Lao Fu’s biological child, so what? If she doesn't say it, who can guess it? And if Chengcheng is really gone, Lao Fu has no eldest son, and I am destined to marry the Gao family, so I will definitely not be able to compete with my cousin. Lao Fu The family business will definitely fall on my cousin in the future, and the second brother-in-law will take the position of head of the family. As for the third brother-in-law, that is a matter of the future, and there is no need to consider it now.

"How long will it take to open up this horse's belly and send it for examination immediately?" I pulled Liang Sen and asked eagerly.

Liang Sen's face tightened, and he probably understood what I meant. After thinking for a while, he said with an expression of persuasion: "Miss, the round trip time from the old house to the testing agency plus the testing will take at least five hours." , it’s already past three o’clock, it’s too late!”

I know that the opening time of Hongtang is at six o'clock tonight. When Liang Sen comes back, it will be at least eight o'clock. If I have to get involved in this matter, I will have to spend more than two hours in the meantime. I need to find a way to solve my current situation. Let alone fighting for fairness and justice with reason. As long as I enter Hongtang, I can only be a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If I insist on persisting, if I am not unlucky, who will be unlucky?

"But I have no other way out..." I said softly.

"If the young master can really replace you, it might not be a good thing. The young cousin of the second master's family is not the one who makes things difficult for you..."

"He saved me! I can't just watch him die."

Liang Sen knew that I was referring to the incident in Hongtang when I first came to the old house. Lu Chengcheng reached out to help me take the knife from my cousin. Liang Sen is not a ruthless person. Of course he can understand my feelings and see me. With such categorical words, he could only let me take a gamble.

"I'll try to be as quick as possible." Liang Sen responded, then turned around and told Liang He: "Protect the young lady, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he immediately led someone to carry the horse and disappeared without a trace.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't blame myself in my heart. In fact, I am a selfish person. I have always understood that everything I do is not selfish. Including this time, I did it not only for Chengcheng, but also for myself. He was just one of the reasons for my impulsiveness. In fact, I just wanted to know whether the old man would still pretend when I was "on the verge of death". If it goes on, are you willing to fight for me once?

I followed Liang He back to my own small hospital. The doctor who cared for me cooked some ginseng soup and fed it to me, just so that I could survive a little longer at night.

Night falls quickly.

The entrance ceremony of Hongtang was not as complicated as that of the Gao family. I banged the gongs and drums twice casually and waited for Old Fu, his two uncles and his wives to enter first. The Fu family swarmed in. I watched from a distance and squeezed. I put the slices of ginseng in my mouth. When the Fu family had all gone in and Hongtang was about to close, I stepped forward and stopped the steward who was closing the door.

"I'm late, I hope I'm not late yet." I smiled at the steward, but everyone knew that I wasn't smiling for the steward.

My voice attracted the Fu family members in the hall to watch, and after watching, they gathered around and whispered.

My confinement period has not yet passed, so it was indeed a surprise to appear here, but when they thought that it was me who never followed the rules, their surprise turned into ridicule.

Looking through the crack in the door, I saw that the old man's face suddenly darkened, and his second uncle and younger uncle also frowned. Although my cousin didn't know what the situation was like, he also understood that it was not a good thing for me to come here. He was still angry with me and couldn't stop waving his hand to me to leave.

The second grandma and the third grandma were happy. I don’t know if they were pretending or because they thought they were excited after defeating me. They quickly waved me in and said, "Stop holding me back, girl Shi. She is still sick. Don’t let her stand outside for a long time. Be careful." The wind."

Be careful, I think they want me to catch wind.

"Yes." The doorkeeper responded, and even if he was doubtful, he still had to invite me in.

I walked into the Hongtang door coughing step by step, and sat in the second seat on the left under the headmaster's seat. The one in front of me was the second grandma, and the one opposite the second grandma was the third grandma. They all stared at me like a jackal, tiger, and leopard. Only the cousin behind me is truly innocent.

The old man pinched the railing of the master's seat, and his hands began to turn white, as if there were needles pricking him on the seat. After struggling for a long time, he finally recognized the fact that I was here, and waved to Shao. Qin made all the things he found out today public, and he himself was probably praying, hoping that I would go through the process quietly and not cause trouble.

It's a pity that I have to disappoint him.

Shao Qin glanced at me and was slightly uneasy, but he quickly came to his senses and did what he was supposed to do. It seemed like it took him about half an hour. He said every word, and I listened to every word. There is no difference in my understanding, except for the last sentence: "What happened to the young master may really be an accident."

I couldn't flatter you, so I immediately stood up and denied it: "No."

"What's not that?" An old man sitting in the middle couldn't help but ask, like a compliment, which just allowed me to speak clearly.

I held my seat and said in a deep voice: "What happened to Chengcheng was either an accident or someone deliberately murdered her. I have evidence."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Fu suddenly became anxious and shouted angrily with a dark face.

He rarely gets angry at me. Although I understand that he is doing it for my own good, when he said this to me, I still couldn't help but feel weak in my legs. Fortunately, my cousin had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold me up, so I didn't lose my balance and fall to the ground. Go down.

I took a deep breath and faced the old man: "Dad, what are you so anxious about? How can you be sure that I am lying? Haven't you always cared about Chengcheng the most? Don't you want to know the truth?"

"How can there be any facts? The beast is just having a temper. If you die, who will hold you accountable?" Old Fu murmured: "If you want to go home and make trouble, this is the real thing. Do you want the whole family to see your joke?" ? Shao Qin took hundreds of people and turned his whole family upside down. Why don't you be more careful?"

"Uncle Shao was serious, but he just fell behind." I looked back at Shao Qin: "Didn't Uncle Shao know that the horse had a loss of appetite and kept vomiting before he died? How could a sick horse be pulled out for the young master? Even if the horse was nervous that day and had to use it to guide the way, then how could it eat the yew that tastes bitter and difficult to swallow if it has a loss of appetite? In addition, yew is highly poisonous to horses, and it only takes a little to kill them quickly. , then it can only be the yew that Chengcheng ate after he fell from the horse and was escorted back to the stable. If he fell off his owner, according to the rules, it would be executed soon, so why feed it again? Not to mention it was a mistake. Eat the yew!”

Shao Qin was sweating and at a loss when I asked him. He secretly glanced at the old man's eyes, but the old man quickly stared back. He had no choice but to find an excuse: "Miss, maybe she is a horse breeder. People pity the pony, so what if they feed it, but if they kill someone, they still give it a meal."

"Really? I've never heard of a butcher giving people decapitation meals."

I waved my hand, and Liang He immediately went out. After a while, he threw in a young man wearing an old man's shirt. The young man was timid and raised his head to glance at Qi Cheng next to his second uncle. Although He quickly looked away, but the second uncle still understood.

You must know that Qi Cheng is the spy sent by the second mistress to the second uncle.

The second uncle took a deep breath and closed his eyes helplessly. The cousin also saw through it, and looked at the second grandma with disappointment but helplessness.

"This is Mr. Sheng who is planning to send the horse to the West. He has just come to Fu's house to work and has no relationship with the horse. He also made it clear that he did not feed the horse any fodder. Could it be that the yew tree Did it get into the horse's belly out of thin air? If it wasn't a ghost, then it could only be that someone force-fed the yew leaves into the horse's mouth without Mr. Sheng noticing, to make it look like the horse died unexpectedly. Then send the horse to be burned as a matter of course, so that the evidence in the horse's belly can be destroyed in a logical manner." Liang He explained to everyone.

I held on to the railing of the seat and looked at the old man in the hall, and asked quietly: "Dad, do you think he is right?"

The old man was silent, but his eyes were red. In an instant, I seemed to see that his wrinkles were getting deeper and his face was getting older.

I just lament that after all, I am no longer a worry-free daughter...
