The little boy hesitated.

?

But he still nodded slightly.

?

Xie Liuzheng asked with a smile, "Little brother, did you see your father go back yesterday?"

?

The little boy shook his head.

?

Realizing what Xie Liuzheng was going to do, the woman immediately shouted to stop her son from answering her question, "Xiao Liu, don't take her candy! Come back to your mother as soon as possible."

?

But Xie Liuzheng naturally would not allow her to succeed, so she gave her a look and Qiuyue stepped forward and covered the woman's mouth with a handkerchief.

?

In this way, even if the woman wanted to speak, she couldn't make a sound.

?

Then Xie Liuzheng continued to ask the little boy, "Little brother, think carefully, did Daddy go home last night? Did you and Mommy see Daddy?"

?

The little boy thought about it and shook his head.

?

"Then when did mother take you out to find father today?"

?

This time the little boy answered quickly, "Before the cockcrows! It was still dark!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and asked Qiuyue to grab a handful of candies and gave them all to the little boy.

?

Then Xie Liuzheng stood up and smiled at everyone.

?

"I think everyone knows that a woman whose husband hasn't returned home all night doesn't rush to look for him. Instead, she takes the child out to look for him before dawn. Isn't this too illogical?"

?

"Also, the people in Caiyue Tower found Wang Tieshan's body after the Mao hour, but Wang Tieshan's wife went out at the Chou hour, and she happened to arrive just when the people in Caiyue Tower found the body!"

?

"Let me ask you, isn't this too weird? It seems that she already knew her husband was dead, but where she went and who she met during the few hours she left with the child is unknown."

?

Xie Liuzheng could actually continue asking the little boy, she was confident that she could get the answer.

?

But she didn't want to do that. After all, when the little boy grew up, he would know that what he said was the truth and that his mother was arrested. Xie Liuzheng was worried that the little boy would not be able to bear it psychologically.

?

So she just stopped there.

?

Now Xie Liuzheng hopes that Wang Tieshan’s wife can stop while she is ahead. If she continues to make trouble and alerts the authorities, it will be troublesome.

?

The government will naturally investigate thoroughly any matter she is unwilling to delve into.

?

Then Xie Liuzheng signaled Qiuyue to take away the handkerchief that was blocking the woman's mouth.

?

Unexpectedly, as soon as she was free, the woman started shouting.

?

"Xie Liuzheng, you will die a miserable death! You actually seduced a little kid to speak for you! You have a black heart, don't you? Black-hearted ghost!"

?

The woman immediately started throwing a tantrum.

?

Faced with the woman's angry look, Xie Liuzheng lost interest in continuing to deal with her. She turned around and gave orders to Fang Cheng.

?

"Since Wang Tieshan's wife is unwilling to let it go, let's report it to the authorities! I believe the authorities will be able to clear my name and give the deceased the truth."

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng turned around and was about to go in.

?

The protagonists had left the scene, and the crowd naturally dispersed, but Wang Tieshan's wife took the opportunity to break free from the Xie family's servant and ran headfirst into the big stone lion at the gate of Xie's house.

?

"Tieshan, I'll go with you! I'm not good at speaking, and I can't beat Miss Xie! But I'm willing to die to prove my point!"

?

As she spoke, the woman rushed over.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't expect the other party to be so heroic. In order to discredit her, the other party was willing to sacrifice his own life and drag her down with him!

?

Xie Liuzheng subconsciously asked someone to stop her, but the woman was determined to leave, so she naturally avoided the obstruction of Xie's servant and ran straight into him!

?

"boom!"

?

Then blood splattered and soon dyed the entire stone lion red.

?

This scene surprised Xie Liuzheng.

?

She turned around to look at the little boy whose eyes were filled with tears, and Xie Liuzheng sighed deeply in her heart.

?

"She even gave up her life to deal with me! Has she ever thought about what will happen to the child she left behind?"

?

If the little boy is lucky enough, he can find a kind person to adopt him and be able to go to school. Even if he cannot go to high school, he can still live a smooth life!

?

But Xie Liuzheng was afraid that the little boy would be traumatized and become a lonely person for the rest of his life.

?

Xie Liuzheng really wanted to ask that woman, is it really that important to frame her?

?

Is it so important that she can even abandon her husband and children?

?

But Xie Liuzheng was destined not to get an answer to this question.

?

The crowd gathered at the door obviously did not expect such a tragic ending, but after a while, the police arrived and the coroner performed an autopsy on the spot.

?

Xie Liuzheng did not dodge. She just stood at the door in a daze, watching the coroner do his work.

?

From beginning to end, the little boy held the candy in his hand tightly, without crying or making a fuss, and was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed!

?

The officer finally asked about what happened, then he bowed to Xie Liuzheng and said, "Miss Xie, we will follow up on this matter and investigate it. We will definitely clear your name!"

?

Xie Liuzheng nodded, then ordered Fang Cheng to send the officers away, and she went in.

?

After walking only a few steps, Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but look back and found that the little boy was staring at him.

?

The look was confused and helpless, but more of it was fear.

?

Thinking that the little boy had no relatives, Xie Liuzheng directly instructed Fang Cheng, "Help the little boy find a good family to adopt him."

?

No matter what, his mother died because of her, and Xie Liuzheng couldn't bear to let the little boy beg for a living alone!

?

Although she didn't know the Wang family's situation, Xie Liuzheng guessed that they were definitely not a wealthy family, otherwise Wang Tieshan's wife would not have made such a fuss about her husband's death.

?

But the dead are gone, why should we risk our own life?

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't understand this.

?

She returned to the yard and sat alone at the stone table in a daze.

?

Someone walked up to her, but Xie Liuzheng didn't notice him.

?

It was not until the man pushed a cup of hot tea to her and she looked at the steaming teacup that Xie Liuzheng came back to her senses.

?

She looked at the person who came and asked softly.

?

"Lord Pingxi, have you already become indifferent to life and death? I thought I could do it, but unfortunately I can't!"

?

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng smiled knowingly, "Actually, I can't do that either!"

?

In response, Xie Liuzheng looked up at him in surprise, not understanding what he was thinking.

?

Zhou Zheng said slowly, "On the battlefield, every time I swing my sword, a life will be lost. But it is because the enemy disappears that I can protect the people I want to protect! As for life and death, I can't take it lightly."

?

When Xie Liuzheng heard him say this, she smiled and nodded.

?

"Yes, it is indeed not easy. But I didn't expect that even someone like you who has experienced many battles would not take it lightly!"

?

Zhou Zheng looked at her with a smile, "Liu Zheng, you've done a great job, there's no need to be so hard on yourself!"
