LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 60 - I
Cheng Huan’s face was pale, with only one pair of red eyes. Seeing Xu Zhongqi being restrained on both shoulders, Cheng Huan, who had always been protected by Xu Zhongqi’s wings, was at a loss at this moment, and even regretted it.
He regretted why he was so meddlesome…
If he hadn’t been so meddlesome, wouldn’t his mother not be discovered at all and wouldn’t be in such a mess?
But there was no time for Cheng Huan to regret it. He called Xu Zhongqi twice with red eyes. Seeing Xu Zhongqi looking at him with a relieved smile, Cheng Huan burst into tears.
He turned around and approached his father, who was always partial to his eldest brother.
Cheng Huan knelt down with a “plop” and hugged Cheng Wei’s calf with tears streaming down his face: “Dad! Can someone let my mother go? She knows she was wrong!”
Cheng Wei looked at the child who was begging and crying, as if the child felt unbearable in its heart. He couldn’t bear the sight, but when his eyes locked at the fingers held by the detective, he forced his feeling back.
He had a cold face, did not look at Cheng Huan, and said coldly: “Your eldest brother is dead, what’s the use of her knowing her mistakes? Besides, she didn’t even feel that she did anything wrong.”
Cheng Huan came late, if he hadn’t known his mother hated Cheng Yule so much, he never thought that such a weak-looking woman as his mother was capable to kill Cheng Yule.
But even though he knew it, he didn’t know what “flaw” Cheng Wei had discovered.
It wasn’t until Cheng Huan glanced at the policeman in a panic, he realized that his father had found concrete evidence that his mother had committed murder.
Cheng Huan took two breaths, and the tears on his face became fiercer. He shouted with a crying voice: “Dad…Dad…, Daddy…” The sound was heartbreaking.
But Cheng Wei was also hard-hearted now.
He knew that he couldn’t convict Xu Zhongqi without finding definite evidence. As someone close to him, Xu Zhongqi would naturally know this.
The dead fetus in Xu Zhongqi’s belly had nothing to do with Cheng Yule. It was his in-laws’ family behind Cheng Yule who instigated the nanny to do the wrong thing. Worried that Xu Zhongqi would misunderstand Cheng Yule, Cheng Wei directly asked the wet nurse to ‘commit suicide’.
It was Cheng Wei who did it, and there was nothing wrong with it. Every clue was clear and no one could doubt anything.
But Xu Zhongqi didn’t want to believe anything. She only relied on the source of malice to sentence Cheng Yule was the culprit, who benefited the most from the loss of her fetus.
Furthermore… even if Xu Zhongqi knew the truth, the pain of losing a child was heartbreaking. The pain in her body when she lost her child was just as deep as the hatred in her heart.
Xu Zhongqi saw that Cheng Wei didn’t pay attention to Cheng Huan’s plea at all, and her forced a smile could no longer last. She slowly closed her eyes and pretended that she didn’t see anything.
She knew something went wrong with her Huan’er, and it was Cheng Huan who instigated her loyal servant to take out an extra finger and throw it in the Zhixin Courtyard, but she was willing to take the blame for Huan’er.
Now that everything was explained openly and clearly, it made her feel more comfortable. At least today, she felt happy enough!
.
In the first half of the night, Xu Zhongqi died of a sudden illness. However, the government office strangely did not invite any doctor to come in for a check-up. After Xu Zhongqi lost her breath, Prefect Cheng only invited the two elders of the Xu family.
Cheng Wei said coldly, “Please, the two elders took Xu Zhongqi back.”
Later that night, the young master of the Cheng family suddenly fell ill with fever, and Cheng Wei had to open the door of his house and invite a doctor.
In front of the bed, Cheng Wei felt bitter in his mouth when he looked at the child who was not his.
He and Xu Zhongqi were on good terms, and he treasured her very much in guilt, so there were no concubines in the house, only Xu Zhongqi.
He thought that the way he treated Xu Zhongqi was already very good, but he didn’t expect that Xu Zhongqi was obsessed with her dead child.
No… maybe not entirely. Cheng Wei looked at Cheng Huan and finally remembered that he had repeatedly rejected Xu Zhongqi’s suggestions to raise this son as his legitimate one.
In Xu Zhongqi’s eyes, it was like he didn’t allow Xu Zhongqi’s child to be better than Yule? Everything stimulated her to be like this…
.
Cheng Wei stayed up all night. At dawn the next day, he washed his face and went to the front hall to deal with the daily affairs of the government office.
After doing this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have invited Jing Xingzhi to have dinner at home just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, everything had changed and it was no longer as good as before. Cheng Wei felt hard to describe.
Cheng Wei sighed twice and asked someone to invite Jing Xingzhi over, intending to talk to him about the sixth divisions training.
Policy theory, if you didn’t understand the court and the world situation, how could you make a well-founded and usable policy theory?
Naturally, the people who were summoned in the front hall were some small government servants. These people were just doing errands. However, this did not prevent them from being well-informed and knowing many government secrets.
Many of the things discovered last night cannot be discussed, so naturally the detectives could only hold it in while eating and drinking.
But those things that could be said were singled out and told to shock the eyes of others and satisfy the vanity of the braggart.
It was said that… the young man who newly moved into the government office was a bit mysterious. When he touched the black dog in the government office, the black dog became extremely obedient. After being touched, the dog became even smarter.
As they all know, the black dog in the government office relied on its nose to smell things. What the nose smells was, of course, the scent. But scent dissipated over time, which meant that if you didn’t find something the first time, the probability of finding it for the second time was even lower.
Jing Xingzhi felt that he had no flaws; it was just that the dogs were smarter in his hands.
However, he didn’t know that the people in government had used dogs before, and they had already developed their own ideas. Just like that, Jing Xingzhi’s ‘magic’ was exposed.
Fortunately, these people were well-informed and had seen all kinds of strange winds and waves, so they could only be a little surprised.
However, this news was still spreading, and went under Madam Zhao’s ears, thus made her husband, Chief Zhao had the heart to invite the young master to his house.
