Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 62 The Truth
In the villa, the green trees are thick and shaded, the mountains are emerald, the flowing water is gurgling, the strange rocks are jagged, and the scenery is very unique.

Chu Ci walked on the steps polished by Han Baishi, her expression was a bit unnatural, she glanced sideways at King Lu Xiaojun, raised her eyebrows and said tentatively, "Such a quiet Zhuangzi, you lend me the corpse, is it true?" okay?"

Hearing her question, King Lu Xiaojun raised his sword eyebrows and smiled dotingly, "Zhuangzi is just a dead thing, so it doesn't matter to you. As long as you are willing, don't say it's just a mortuary, interrogating a person, it's just a fire." , I will be happy with you, too."

Chu Ci: "..." Does she look like the kind of prodigal who spends money like water?

"...But, this is Zhuangzi left to you by your grandfather." After a while, she looked at him helplessly and said.

Unexpectedly, King Lu Xiaojun smiled faintly after hearing this, and then said with deep eyebrows, "I said, Zhuangzi is Zhuangzi, and dead things are dead things. Grandpa's heart for me is not here, and I miss grandpa and I am not here. All emotions are in my heart..."

After hearing her finish, Chu Ci nodded slowly, followed, and smiled sincerely, "Lu Yifeng...you look at the bastard, but you understand it better than anyone else."

King Lu Xiaojun raised his chin, snorted coldly, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Chu Xiaoci, do you boast so much?"

The smile in Chu Ci's eyes deepened, he turned his head, and continued walking forward.

There is an ice cellar in the Purple Star Villa, and Chu Ci directly asked the guards to move Ban Xia's body to the ice cellar, and then wrote a list, asking Ping An to help her purchase some things.

Ban Xia... She was the one who followed her, she wanted her to leave with dignity.

Same as hugging the moon.

After dinner, Ping An brought back what she needed.

Chu Ci took the bag of things and went straight to the ice cellar.

Body grooming is a delicate job, and she stays in it for two hours.

After disposing of Pinellia's body, it was already dark.

"Girl, the hot water is ready, go wash your hands and the oil paint on your face, and just leave it to me to change the clothes of Pinellia." Yun Niang stepped forward to remind in due course.

Chu Ci was indeed tired, she nodded at Yunniang, and then walked towards the cubicle on the other side.

In the cubicle, Yunniang had already prepared hot water, hand sanitizer, and cotton kerchiefs.

She took off the coat on her body, walked directly to the shelf with the copper basin, washed her hands and face carefully, and smeared on the ointment before walking out with her waist supported.

Outside, Yunniang had already changed clothes for Ban Xia.

Now she was lying there with a rosy complexion, her eyes were closed tightly, and her eyelashes were slender, as if she had fallen asleep.

"Girl, it's done." Yun Niang walked to Chu Ci's side and reached out to support her.

Chu Ci nodded, "Let her rest here, let's go out first." Then he walked out.

When she got outside the ice cellar, as soon as she opened the door, she saw King Lu Xiaojun waiting at the bottom of the steps.

Prince Lu Xiaojun was wearing a royal blue cloak embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. The moment he saw her, his expressionless white face immediately came to life. Cloak, took her whole body into his arms, lowered his head close to her ear and said, "Fixed?"

Chu Ci's whole body was embraced by him in his arms, and his body, which was frozen stiff, suddenly warmed up.She raised her hand, put it on his chest, and said in a low voice, "My side is fine... What about your side, have you captured Lu Chengxi?"

King Lu Xiaojun tightened his grip on Chu Ci, looked at her reddish earlobes, and said, "The dark guards have already brought them out, and they are in the dungeon. Do you want to go there now, or rest for a night and try again tomorrow? "

"Let's go now!" Chu Ci couldn't wait any longer.

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, then let go of Chu Ci, gracefully took off his cloak and wrapped it around Chu Ci's shoulders.

Seeing this, Chu Ci glared at him fiercely, "It would have been better if you had done this earlier!"

King Lu Xiaojun touched his nose.

His concubine is so difficult to deal with, if he doesn't want to try to get some advantage, when will he be able to be a real couple with her!
"Let's go!" Chu Ci didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and walked forward first.

King Lu Xiaojun followed behind her.

Within a quarter of an hour, the two entered the dungeon of Zixing Villa.

In the dungeon, the second master Lu Chengxi had already woken up and saw King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci walking hand in hand.His eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it you?"

King Lu Xiaojun raised the corners of his mouth lightly, with a half-smile, "Otherwise, who does Second Uncle think it could be?"

"What did you bring me here for?" Lu Chengxi clenched his fists, his eyes turned cold.

King Lu Xiaojun supported Chuci to sit down on the grand teacher's chair outside the cell, poured her a cup of hot tea and held it in his hand, and then said with a sneer, "Second Uncle, don't pretend to be confused, and explain the matter clearly as soon as possible. , so my nephew can let you out sooner."

"What are you going to tell me? I don't understand! I have nothing to tell you! It's you who imprisoned your elders in a dungeon without authorization, so you're not afraid that your grandmother will break your leg if she finds out?!" Lu Chengxi said solemnly. Threatening King Lu Xiaojun.

In just a short while, he had already figured out his situation.

Yes, Ban Xia was killed by his design.But as long as he refuses to admit it, what can his nephew do to him!
As long as he procrastinates, the old lady of Luyouyuan will always find out that something is wrong. At that time, no matter how unwilling King Lu Xiaojun is, he can only send him back.

When the time comes, hum!He can still let the villain file a complaint first, and ruthlessly take Lu Yifeng's skin off him!

Thinking of this, Lu Chengxi's expression became more calm, and there was even a little sneer in his eyes.

Chu Ci saw his calculations in his eyes.

She shrank her heart, turned her head, and looked at King Lu Xiaojun decisively, with a hint of cruelty in the corner of her mouth, and said, "Such an old fox and hypocrite, you can't reason with him!"

"Ah Ci, what do you mean?" Lu Xiaojun Wang lowered his head and asked Chu Ci with a gentle look in his eyes.

Chu Ci swept towards the torture rack at the side, gritted his teeth, and said every word, "Tie him to death on the rack and hand him over to me."

"...Okay!" King Lu Xiaojun agreed, and then turned his head to wink at the hidden guard hidden in the dark.

The dark guard understood and immediately walked towards the cell...

Seeing this, Lu Chengxi shook her body slightly, and looked at King Lu Xiaojun with a sullen expression, "I am your second uncle, if you dare to do something to me, the old lady will not let you go!"

"..." Lu Xiaojun Wang heard Lu Chengxi say this, his eyes darkened slightly, and then he said indifferently, "Originally, my nephew didn't want to treat my second uncle like this. If you want to blame it, I blame my second uncle for not treating you like this." Conscientious promotion!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the dark guard again, and said sharply, "Tie him up!"

"Yes, Little County King!" The dark guard agreed, dragged Lu Chengxi and walked towards the execution rack.

The two hidden guards tied up Lu Chengxi as quickly as possible, and then stepped forward to report to King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci, "Master, madam, it's already tied up."

Chu Ci nodded, and saw that after the hidden guard disappeared, her cuff shook slightly, and a row of silver needles appeared on her fingertips.

"Be careful." King Lu Xiaojun followed her closely, and whispered.

Chu Ci looked back at him, "Don't worry."

Then he walked towards Lu Chengxi.

Step by step... After stopping in front of him, he looked at his well-maintained, slightly pale face, with icy cold hatred in his eyes, and his words were like arrows, and said, "Don't say it now, think about it later." Say it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

"Bah!" Lu Chengxi spat at her fiercely, "What are you, but you're just a flirt, who can't hold back the slutty things under your skirt, so what right do you have to shout in front of my second master. Go back to your bed , serve the man!"

Lu Chengxi's mouth was so vicious.Before Chuci got angry, King Lu Xiaojun couldn't take it anymore. He stepped forward and hit the corner of Lu Chengxi's mouth with a few heavy punches!
Lu Chengxi's mouth was covered with blood foam from his beating. In just a short moment, half of the teeth in his mouth fell out, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Chu Ci: "..."

Lu Yifeng's fighting power... a newborn calf is not as fierce as his dream, okay!

After reacting, she grabbed his arm with twitching eyes, and shook her head slightly at him, "Little Junwang, he is your second uncle after all, it's not good for the family to see him like this, Let me do it!"

King Lu Xiaojun's eyes were still red, and he panted heavily, "This bastard dares to say that about you, I wish I could kill him!"

"Be obedient, I'll be fine, just sit by the side and rest for a while." Chu Ci could feel his anger, she raised her hand, and gently patted his face, as if coaxing a child to comfort him He said, "I'm tired later, you can start again, huh?"

King Lu Xiaojun was comforted by him, although his anger didn't subside, his face became much gentler.He gently touched her pale cheek with his hand that was not stained with blood, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

When Chu Ci heard him let go, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

Seeing that he suppressed the murderous look in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Lu Chengxi, and before he could swear, he waved his hand and pierced three silver needles into the three acupuncture points on his chest.

The next moment, there was a roar similar to the howling of wild animals, and before Chu Ci had time to back up, King Lu Xiaojun stepped forward and covered her ears for her.

Perhaps the dungeon was damp and cold, but his palms were slightly cold.

Chu Ci was touched by him, and his angry and restless heart instantly calmed down.

He looked at Lu Chengxi's distorted face in pain, blinked his eyes, and with his hand, three more silver needles were stabbed three inches below his navel. Now, his lower body also ached...

Chu Ci watched as his legs twisted like a twist, the robe on his body was soaked in cold sweat at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the back of his hands were covered with bean-sized drops of sweat...

She sneered softly, "How is it? Is this feeling good?"

Lu Chengxi's eyes widened, his pupils constricted, and he looked at her weakly, with cold sweat dripping from the corners of his eyes, his lips twitched violently, and changed his tone, "Kill me...Kill me, I...please kill me... ..."

It hurts too much.

This kind of pain overflowing from the bones is more terrifying than ten thousand ants eating one's heart.

He felt like all the bones in his body were smashed into powder and then reassembled!Moreover, it's a fucking cycle that never ends!

"Kill me! Kill me!" he howled heart-piercingly.

Chu Ci, on the other hand, just watched coldly.

It wasn't until he was at the end of his crossbow that she stepped forward and slowly took out the silver needle from his body.

After the silver needle was separated from the body, the pain on Lu Chengxi's body also disappeared.

He lowered his head weakly, his long hair was drenched, his face was exhausted, like a dying old dog, all he knew was panting heavily.

Chu Ci was sitting by the side, and after he took a breath, he sneered and said, "How is it? Now... the second master is willing to say it?"

Lu Chengxi's eyes flickered, she looked at Chu Ci with fear, her voice trembled fiercely, and said, "I... I said... I'll tell you whatever you want to know... Just please, don't use money again. Prick me..."

"Well, let me ask you, how did Ban Xia die?"

Lu Chengxi raised his head with difficulty, rolled his eyes, and said weakly, "Yes... was killed by Wang's staff!"

"I know that!" She gave Lu Chengxi a cold look, shook the silver needle in her hand, and threatened, "Tell me something I don't know...and, you'd better not lie to me...because later, I will Interrogate all of you in the second room one by one, and if you let me know what you are hiding and talking nonsense, I will let you suffer forever like just now, so painful that you don't even have the strength to kill yourself!"

"I, I know... I must know everything I can say, and I won't lie to you!" Lu Chengxi looked at Chu Ci's expression and knew that what she said was true.Immediately, he repeatedly promised, "If I lie to you, I will die a terrible death!"

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get to the point! What's going on with Banxia, ​​and how did she get involved with your Mingde Academy!"

"Okay, let me tell you... About Banxia, ​​at the beginning, I deliberately asked An'er to get close to her. After all, she is just a girl from the village, and she is easy to deceive. An'er made a few sweet words and used a little bit of trickery. Give her a little sweetness, and cheat her heart..."

"Then, I took the initiative and took her in the study... When Ban Xia woke up the next day, she was very ashamed and angry. She wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by me and An'er... I told her that in order to make up for her, Let An'er take her as a concubine. This girl, she will believe it..."

"Afterwards, An'er and I used Mixiang to occupy her at the same time, and I held her to seduce the master... Threatened her, if she dared to tell this matter, I will drive you out of the county palace... She Believe it again..."

"Continue!" Chu Ci clenched his fists, looked at Lu Chengxi coldly, and said.

Lu Chengxi licked the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, "You must have guessed what I'm plotting... That's right, it's Lu Yifeng's life, and the title of Nanjun Palace!"

"I want to let Banxia poison Lu Yifeng's food when the time is right...But I didn't expect that this cheap girl is afraid of hurting you, no matter how much I threaten and torture her, she just refuses to do it...I can't help it , I had no choice but to take risks and use Wang to make troubles on you... As long as you have your hands, Lu Yifeng will definitely tear faces with Wang for you... There is the stain of murdering my aunt, I don't believe it, the county prince's mansion The title can still fall into his hands... As long as you don't have him, the title must belong to the second wife, mine!"

……

Chu Ci finished listening to him emotionally.

Finally, he thoroughly understood the cause of Ban Xia's death.

It turned out that this silly girl had been secretly paying for her and protecting her.

But she didn't know anything about it.

Even her abnormality has not been discovered.

If, she meant, if she could have discovered the changes in her earlier, then she would not have come to this point.

Isn't it, it won't die!

Thinking like this, tears overflowed from the corners of Chu Ci's eyes, she turned around, walked towards King Lu Xiaojun, hugged his waist slowly, and lay on his shoulder, tears streaming down like rain.

The moment King Lu Xiaojun was embraced by his beloved woman, his whole body froze.

After a long time, he raised his hand, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her softly, "Chu Xiaoci, it's not your fault, it's that bastard, it's that bastard's fault! Don't cry... ...It's really not your fault!"

Chu Ci was clasped in his arms, and he didn't speak or make a sound, only his shoulders trembled slightly.

Silently told his sadness.

She had been lying on Lu Xiaojun King's shoulder for a long time before she recovered, and then said to him, "You can let him go back."

King Lu Xiaojun didn't expect Chu Ci to say that, his brows furrowed slightly, "Is it so cheap for him?"

Chu Ci shook his head, then looked into his eyes, and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten what day is ten days from now?"

Ten days later...

King Lu Xiaojun thought about this time, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, his hands tightly grasped Chu Ci's shoulders, and he asked, "You don't want him to affect our wedding?"

There was a trace of warmth on Chu Ci's face, and he nodded slightly, "Yes!"

As he said that, he looked back at Lu Chengxi again, "As for him, after the wedding is over, it won't be too late to clean up slowly."

King Lu Xiaojun stared at her pretty side face for a moment, reluctant to move away, and said in a doting tone, "I will listen to you, the young master will listen to you."

Chu Ci looked at him and smiled as a response.

But soon, his face became cold again, he turned his head to look at Lu Chengxi, and threatened, "When you return home, you know what to do! If you make a mistake... don't blame me for being cruel!"

"I know, I know everything!" Lu Chengxi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, Chu Ci snorted, exchanged glances with King Lu Xiaojun, and the two walked out together.

It was Haishi when we returned to the Nanjun Prince's Mansion.

As soon as the two entered the mansion, they saw Steward Lu standing beside the screen wall.

Steward Lu's eyes were good, and he also saw the two young masters. He hurriedly came forward, bowed and said, "Little County King, Miss Chu, the old lady has been waiting for you since this afternoon. You can count yourself back. Hurry up and go to Luyou Courtyard with your servant!"

King Lu Xiaojun was worried about the old lady, and while following Steward Lu, he asked in a low voice, "Does the steward know why grandma is looking for me?"

Butler Lu shook his head, "I really don't know what's going on, but I heard from Bi Xin that the old lady was so angry that she dropped several sets of tea sets... There are half of the decorations in the warm pavilion of Luyou Courtyard. They're all new."

King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci's hearts sank when they heard what the butler said.

Could it be that the old lady also found out something?
Thinking like this, the two couldn't help speeding up their pace.

The two quarters of an hour's journey to Luyouyuan was cut to half by the two of them.

Arriving at Luyouyuan, Chuci found that the always lively Nuan Pavilion was unexpectedly calm and cold today.

She was in front, and King Lu Xiaojun left, and the two entered the Nuan Pavilion one after the other.

Before saluting, he found a row of people kneeling in the warm pavilion.

Take a closer look—outside the second master, the masters of the second and third bedrooms are all there.

On the Arhat's bed, the old lady was asleep on her forehead, but she raised her head after Bi Xin raised her head.

When she saw King Lu Xiaojun and Chu Ci, the corners of her eyes turned red, and the next moment, she slowly waved to them, "A Ci, Feng Er, you are back..."

Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun rushed forward to greet the old lady.

The old lady looked at the two of them carefully, and with a slight movement of her eyelids, turbid tears flowed out...

"Grandmother (old lady)!" Lu Xiaojun Wang and Chu Ci shouted anxiously at the same time, "This...what the hell is going on?"

The old lady listened to her most beloved grandson and grandson-in-law asking, and immediately she couldn't help but burst into two lines of hot tears... Bi Xin, who was serving by the side, saw it, and hurriedly bent forward to wipe the old lady.

After wiping away the tears, the old lady murmured for a long while, unable to say what the second room had done.In the end, he simply took a look at Bi Xin and said, "Girl, you can speak for me..."

Bixin listened to the old lady's orders.

Immediately, her eyes deepened, she lowered her eyelids, and her eyes paused for a long time on the second wife and the second son, a young lady, before she said, "The old lady has found out the cause of Ban Xia's death. It is the second master and the second wife." The Second Young Master designed a play together, taking advantage of the situation to blame the Second Lady, and then..."

What she said was simple, but the general trend was exactly the same as what Lu Chengxi said.

Listening to Chu Ci, he couldn't help admiring the old lady.

Others, at this point, even if the truth is found out, they will probably have to cover it up for fear of being laughed at.

But the old lady told the truth directly in front of all her children and grandchildren.

Old madam, she really... admires her a lot.

"A Ci, Feng'er...the truth of the matter is like this!" The old lady slowly raised her head after Bi Xin finished speaking, looked at the two with a tired face, and said, "What should be investigated, grandma has already found out, As for how to deal with it, it depends on your intentions!"

When Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun heard the words, they quickly looked at each other.Then he turned his gaze to the old lady and said in unison, "Grandson (A Ci) listen to the old lady!"

When the old lady heard what the two of them said, a look of relief flashed in her eyes, she nodded, and said, "You two are still sensible and filial."

After a pause, he continued, "Since both of you are willing to let me handle it, then I will do it for you and tell me what I mean."

Both Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun pretended to be listening attentively...
