Chapter 72

There is a candlelight about ten steps away from Wenshu Pavilion. Even so, half-surrounded by cliffs, the pavilion is still shrouded in darkness.

Qionghua followed Cui Hengyue closely, not daring to express her anger. She vaguely felt that Cui Hengyue was very angry now, so she didn't dare to make any noise, which would upset Cui Hengyue.

When he reached the stairs, Cui Hengyue suddenly stopped: "Wait for me here for a while. I'll go do something and I'll be back soon."

After saying that, without waiting for Qionghua's reply, she jumped up and disappeared from Qionghua's eyes in an instant.

Qionghua: "..."

I don’t know how long she waited, but just when Qionghua was worried about something happening to Cui Hengyue and was about to go find her, Cui Hengyue came back.

"Let's go."

Qionghua didn't dare to ask, so she followed Cui Hengyue, avoiding the guards, and returned to the North Cave.

After entering the room, Cui Hengyue walked straight to the table, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yueyue, that tea is cold. Let me change it for you."

Qionghua walked over, picked up the teapot, and was about to change it for hot tea, but her hand was held down by Cui Hengyue.

"Was my brother really killed by my father?"

Qionghua's face changed drastically. She didn't know why Cui Hengyue suddenly asked about this matter. Just as she was thinking about what to say, there was a noise outside.

"somebody is coming."

Qionghua put down the teapot and looked at the door nervously: "The two guards must have woken up..."

Cui Hengyue was very calm and reassured her: "Don't panic, as long as I'm here, everything will be fine..."

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and Yun Lin, dressed in white, appeared at the door and ordered with a gloomy face: "Take them away."

"Yue Yue--"

Seeing the guards pouring in with such force, Qionghua shivered with fear, but she suppressed her fear and took two steps forward, protecting Cui Hengyue behind her.

"What are you doing? Don't touch my little lady."

Qionghua raised her fist and swung it towards the guard who was reaching out to grab Cui Hengyue.

The guard restrained her with one move.

too weak.

Cui Hengyue couldn't help but shook her head and avoided the hand extended by the guard: "I can leave by myself."

The guard did not make things difficult for her, and seeing that she did not resist, he let her go.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall of Wenshu Pavilion, Cui Hengyue saw two corpses on the ground and immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when Yun Chen saw her, he lost his usual smile and said angrily: "Cui Hengyue, I think I treat you well.

"The fact that you were able to grow up safe and sound in the South Hall is partly due to the contributions of me and the brothers in the South Hall. It's fine if you're ungrateful, but there's no need to kill them, right?"

Did she kill them?

Unjustly accusing her again?

Cui Hengyue immediately became angry: "Fat monk, can you try some new tricks? Don't unjustly accuse me of being the murderer every time someone dies..."

"I wronged you?"

Yun Chen stood up in confusion and asked Cui Hengyue: "Then tell everyone, where did you go just now?"

Qionghua suddenly became nervous.

Cui Hengyue said calmly: "I returned to Bei Cave in the morning and stayed in the room since then. I didn't go anywhere."

"Tell me." Yun Chen turned to Qionghua.

Qionghua clasped her hands tightly, suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and replied calmly: "Yueyue has been staying in the room since she returned to the North Cave in the morning. I can testify to this."

"You are Cui Hengyue's person, so your testimony cannot be trusted." Chen Guang said coldly.

Qionghua immediately panicked and said to Yun Chen: "Captain Yun, Yueyue did not kill anyone. She has been with me today. We have never been separated. It is impossible for her to kill anyone..."

"When she committed the murder, you were right next to her, so of course you were never separated." Chen Guang interrupted her.

Qionghua: "..."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Qionghua knelt down anxiously: "Captain Yun, I swear, Yueyue didn't kill anyone..."

"Get up." Cui Hengyue grabbed Qionghua's arm and lifted her up: "You don't have to explain to them, the innocent will themselves clean up. I didn't kill anyone, and no one can wrongly accuse me."

"hehe!"

Yun Lin sneered, pointed at the two guards next to him and said, "They said Qionghua tricked them into opening the door and you knocked them unconscious.

"If you didn't want to go out, why did you knock them out?"

Cui Hengyue glanced at the two guards guarding the North Cave without changing her expression: "They must have been lazy and dozed off, and dreamed that I knocked them out in their dreams."

"You still dare to quibble?" Yun Lin, who had always been calm, was irritated by Cui Hengyue who opened his eyes and told lies. His hands clenched into fists and his joints cracked.

"Before they took a nap, Qionghua and I were in the North Cave and didn't go anywhere. After they woke up, we were still in the North Cave. If they weren't dreaming, what else could it be?"

Seeing that what Cui Hengyue said was true, a guard guarding the North Cave couldn't help but scratch his head and whispered: "Am I really dreaming?"

"Don't be fooled by her, how could we both have the same dream?" Another tall guard said to wake up his companion.

He spoke louder, and Cui Hengyue heard it and said, "You guys spend the whole day together, feeling like brothers, and what's so strange about having the same dream."

The tall guard was not fooled by Cui Hengyue. He retorted sternly: "Our necks hurt. We were obviously attacked..."

"No, it's possible that you bumped into the door while you were dozing off." Cui Hengyue said in a faint tone.

The tall guard: "..."

Hearing this, Yun Chen became angry and slammed the table: "Cui Hengyue, don't make any excuses. We found your silver hairpin near the body, and it was still stained with blood.

"And they were killed by your silver hairpin."

Silver hairpin?

When did she get a silver hairpin?

Cui Hengyue was confused when she saw the guard walking up to her with a tray in which was placed a blood-stained silver hairpin.

It's Chen's silver hairpin.

"This is the silver hairpin that you said in public that you bought it from Mrs. Chen. You also used it to hurt Li Bi'er. You cannot deny this."

Yun Chen said with a cold face: "Now you use it to kill my people again, how do you explain it?"

"I didn't kill them, I don't even know who they are." Cui Hengyue met Yun Chen's gaze, fearless.

Chen Guang interrupted: "They are the guards stationed outside Zhen Jiu's courtyard. When you first went to Zhen Jiu, you fought with them."

Cui Hengyue: "..."

The guards at Wenshu Pavilion and Dizang Pavilion wore the same clothes. That day she went to find Zhen Jiu for help and just rushed in without paying attention to what the guards at the door looked like.

Cui Hengyue lowered her head to look at the corpse on the ground. After a closer look, she found that it was actually the guard stationed at the entrance of Zhen Jiu's courtyard.

"I didn't kill them." Cui Hengyue raised her head and looked at Yun Chen and said each word.

Yun Chen suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you don't admit it, I'll leave you speechless."

After saying that, he raised his voice and ordered: "Here, bring Zhen Jiu and Ku Xuan over."

Immediately, guards quickly left the hall.

Qionghua quietly approached Cui Hengyue and whispered: "Yueyue, are we... okay?"
