Chapter 108: 18. The truth was revealed
When Yi Liangze walked into the living room, he looked slightly tipsy, but his steps were still steady.
The two children had already fallen asleep. He Yi sat on the sofa and focused on her cell phone. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she looked up, put down her cell phone, and said, “You’re back.”
She got up and went to brew barley tea for Yi Liangze. She served him and asked, “Have the chiefs rested?”
“Yes.” Yi Liangze took two sips of barley tea. As he put down the cup, he pulled He Yi into his arms. “You haven’t slept?”
“I’m waiting for you.” He Yi smiled faintly. Her warm and affectionate words did not contain any greasy air. They were naturally as light as a blooming jasmine flower.
“Oh!” Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up wickedly. The throbbing of his throat revealed the thoughts in his heart at that moment. His arm tightened. “You miss me!”
He Yi reached out her palm in time and used her palm to block the lips that he had kissed. “Wait, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“What now?” Yi Liangze was not interested. Not only did he not loosen his arm around her slender waist, but he also tightened it even more, almost suffocating her. He wanted to embed her into his body. “If it’s not too important, we can talk about it tomorrow. I want to sleep.”
He carried her by the waist and walked into the bathroom.
He Yi could not help but think of the crazy night. She had even forgotten how she fell asleep. The children were also sleeping in the living room. Although they were not in the same bedroom, it was not good to make too much noise.
“No!” He Yi was anxious. She really could not do anything to him. She had planned everything, but this guy just did not play by the rules. “I have something important to tell you.”
“I won’t Listen!” Yi Liangze became willful. “Baby and Wan Wan are already asleep. You are in my arms. I don’t care about anything else!”
He Yi widened her eyes. In a daze, she was carried into the bathroom by him.
......
Due to his eagerness, he took off his clothes in a rough manner. This reminded her of the night on the cruise six years ago, when he had rough possession of her... “No!” She struggled violently and refused to comply no matter what. “Yi Liangze, I would get angry if you keep doing this!”
Perhaps it was because the woman’s struggle was too intense, but this made Yi Liangze, who was blinded by lust, slowly wake up. He pressed her against the wall made of leather. He panted violently but did not take any further action.
He Yi’s drum-like heartbeat slowly calmed down. She said softly, “You’re pressing down on me... and I can’t breathe!”
Yi Liangze moved his muscular body away, but he still wrapped his arms around her. His pair of deep eyes burned with wild and hot flames, almost swallowing her up. “Don’t be afraid, just remember how gentle I was to you last night. Don’t think about the past!”
Was he gentle to her last night? He Yi’s eyes were full of tears. “I... I have something very important to tell you... I’m not in the mood now!”
She didn’t sleep until so late and had been waiting for him. She wasn’t waiting for him to do this with her, but... there was something more important, okay!
His big hand gently caressed her rosy cheeks. He looked at her with a gentle and dangerous gaze. “Chu Tianyi again?”
Chu Tianyi’s name sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.
He Yi was stunned and quickly shook her head.
It was good that it wasn’t him! Yi Liangze relaxed, but he still pressed her against the wall. The bathroom wall was wrapped in leather, and it was very suitable for doing anything. Last night he had sex with her in the bathtub, and tonight he wanted to see what it felt like to hold her against the wall.
He Yi was embarrassed. She had something important to tell him, and the look in his eyes told her that he only had one thing on his mind. Swallowing, she whispered, “We have more important things to do tonight. Tomorrow night... again... again...”
The two children were already five years old, yet she was still embarrassed to tell him about their intimacy. It could not be blamed on her. The two of them had just started their substantive wedding night last night!
The woman’s repeated reassurances finally made him take it seriously. He finally asked, “What is it?”
He Yi’s eyes immediately teared up. He finally diverted his attention and began to listen to other words. “Take a simple shower and go back to the bedroom. I want to show you something!”
*
After returning to the bedroom, she chose not to tempt Yi Liangze to get into heat and delayed the proper business for later. She deliberately turned on all the headlights in the bedroom and dressed neatly. She even changed into her high heels.
Just as she was ready, Yi Liangze walked in drying his hair.
He had a towel tied around his waist. His muscular chest was bare. With every step he took, his long legs showed his muscular and tight lines.
He Yi was stunned. This was the first time she realized that a man’s body was so beautiful. It was full of strength and beauty and sexy
“Your husband is handsome, right?” Yi Liangze smiled mischievously. He threw away the towel that was used to dry his hair and pretended to unwrap the towel around his waist. “Do you want to see it?”
“Ugh!” He Yi was defeated by him. She turned her face away awkwardly and pretended to cough. “Do you want to see... I want you to see something?”
Yi Liangze seemed to remember that he had other things to do when he returned to the bedroom. He walked over and hugged her as he sat down.
He Yi really couldn’t do anything to him. However, after his disturbance, the small conflict between the two of them because of Chu Tianyi in the afternoon disappeared.
The two people hugged each other most intimately. Their lips and teeth were touching, and their breaths were touching. They were like a pair of intimate swans.
“What do you want me to see?” Yi Liangze pressed his forehead against hers. His eyes were burning, and his smile was evil.
He Yi stretched out an arm and touched the cell phone next to her. She clicked on a video and showed it to the man’s lustful eyes.
Yi Liangze glanced at it casually, then his eyes widened as he stared at it in a daze. Later, he snatched the phone and frowned.
There was a video playing on the phone, and the camera lens was clear. Although there was only one bed in the bedroom, it was still clear that the woman sleeping soundly on the bed was Yu Shujun.
Yu Shujun lay down with her clothes on. She did not remove her makeup. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sat up. She seemed to be having a nightmare and did not know where she was. She turned her head and looked around the room. It was as if she was frightened by an incense burner placed on the bedside table. She even let out a shrill scream.
The copper incense burner in the shape of a crane curled up with green smoke. It had an ancient charm, but it made Yu Shujun feel as if she had seen a ghost. She stared at the incense burner for a moment before she pounced on it in a frenzy. She picked up the incense burner with both hands, but she was caught off guard by the heat and could not let go.
The incense burner fell, and the ashes from the burning incense splashed onto the carpet, igniting the carpet with sparks. She stomped on it like a maniac, and after putting out the sparks with great difficulty, she picked up the incense burner again and stuffed it into the trash can, packed it in a trash bag, and hurried to the door with it. She was going to throw the incense burner out.
Before she could reach the door, the door was pushed open and a girl with light footsteps walked in.
When Yi Liangze saw the girl’s appearance, his hand that was holding the phone couldn’t help but tremble.
He Yi looked at him indifferently and carefully observed the expression on his face. Her teeth bit her lips.
Yi Liangze was very surprised because the girl who entered the door was Qing Xing!
Qing Xing’s hair was disheveled and her face was ashen. The corners of her mouth were dark green as if she had been poisoned. There were even bloody tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked like a female ghost.
In reality, she was a female ghost — because she was already dead!
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah...” Yu Shujun bumped into Qing Xing unexpectedly. One could imagine the horror she was feeling. The trash bag she was carrying fell onto the carpet. She hugged her hair with both hands and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
When Qing Xing entered the room, she closed the bedroom door without leaving a trace. Because all the rooms at the banquet were soundproofed, no matter how loud it was inside, the outside world could not hear it at all.
Yu Shujun stumbled back, almost falling to the ground in fright. Her eyes were wide open in shock, and her words were incoherent. “You... you... Don’t come over... Don’t...”
“Sister Yu, are you going to throw away the incense burner?” Qing Xing stood at the door and looked at Yu Shujun. “You can’t throw it away. I brought it back!”
“Don’t... Don’t bring it back...” Yu Shujun was about to go crazy from fear. She shouted, “Don’t bring it back! Take it away! Take it away!”
“I want young Master Yi to know how I died! How I died! How I died!” Qing Xing said repeatedly.
Yi Liangze frowned even more and narrowed his eyes. He could tell that this was not Qing Xing!
Qing Xing was already dead. She couldn’t come back to life. This Qing Xing who suddenly appeared was someone in disguise. There was only night light in the room. The light was dim, so it was not clear for a moment. In addition, the person involved had ulterior motives. He was already mentally strong enough not to be scared to death on the spot.
“Go away!” Yu Shujun retreated to the base of the wall. She leaned against the wall and squatted down, hugging her head with both hands. “Damn you, don’t pester me!”
“It was you who plotted against me!” Qing Xing coldly recounted her grievances. “It was you who caused my death and then pretended I commit suicide. In your dreams at midnight, I have come to settle the score with you! Give me back my life! Give me back my life!”
Yi Liangze’s handsome facial features were as cold as ice. When he gritted his teeth, He Yi could see the muscles on his cheeks tremble slightly. He was shocked and angry at the same time.
“The incense burning in the incense burner that day was an aphrodisiac. You made me seduce Yi Liangze, provoked the conflict between him and He Yi, then murdered me and pretended that I died because of drunk tea. You made them think that I was forced to death by them!” Qing Xing reprimanded her angrily. “You used my life to plant a double-edged sword between the two of them, to drive a wedge between their relationship. You turned me into a thorn and stuck me between the husband and wife so that there would always be a gap between their hearts! After that, you hid your tracks, threw away the incense burner, and erased the video. You thought that there would be no witnesses...”
“Who are you?” Yu Shujun, who had been hugging her hair and trembling, suddenly raised her head. Her frightened and beautiful eyes were filled with shock and then slowly turned into anger. “You’re not Qing Xing! Who are you to play tricks?”
With a shout, Yu Shujun suddenly jumped up and pounced on Qing Xing at the door.
Yi Liangze’s black eyes flashed. He saw the cold light between Yu Shujun’s fingers. It was an extremely sharp blade that could easily cut open a person’s stomach.
Qing Xing did not expect Yu Shujun’s reaction to be so fast. After seeing through her identity, she decided to kill her. However, she was not afraid at all. She did not dodge Yu Shujun’s jade-like fist. Instead, she raised her long leg and kicked.
Yu Shujun had no choice but to withdraw her fist. After dodging Qing Xing’s kick, she pounced again. The two women soon got into a fight.
He Yi only knew that Yu Shujun was not an ordinary woman. She never thought that her fist and foot skills would be so powerful. She was an expert who had practiced before. No wonder she could stand by Yi Liangze’s side for ten years. As expected, she was not just a vase.
Yi Liangze quickly recognized Qing Xing’s true identity. “This is Ji Xueshan, right?”
He Yi nodded. “You recognized her just by her martial arts. You have good eyesight!”
These words of praise did not make Yi Liangze change his face. On the contrary, his expression became uglier and uglier.
If it were in the past, if she praised him, he would be arrogant and cocky. But now, it was obvious that he could not afford to be arrogant. He Yi coughed. He forgave her for being unkind, but at this moment, he actuallat it was a little funny.
“Who are you? Who are you?” Yu Shujun was not as calm as Yi Liangze. She could not determine the other party’s identity at all. “You’re not Qing Xing, I know you’re not!”
She only knew that the other party was someone pretending to be Qing Xing to scare her, but she really could not guess who it was. This skill was definitely from a proper place. It was either the military or the police.
“I’m Qing Xing!” The woman smiled eerily, revealing her delicate teeth. “I’m here to take your life! Do you want to throw away the incense burner? I have to hand it over to young Master Yi...”
Yu Shujun was reminded by this sentence. She finally figured out the identity of the woman in front of her. “You are... He Yi’s female bodyguard!”
“Ha!” the woman kicked away Yu Shujun and finally succeeded in snatching the incense burner. “It doesn’t matter who I am. I want to hand it over to young Master Yi and tell him that this thing was hidden by you!”
“B*tch, I’ll kill you!” Yu Shujun’s eyes were filled with hatred. She turned around and ran to the bed, reaching for the pistol under her pillow.
Yi Liangze knew that she usually carried a gun with her, but she could not carry a gun with her at the dinner party tonight. (YiLiangze would not allow her to bring a gun near the officers) , so her gun was under her pillow.
When she woke up from the shock, she was so frightened by the incense burner that she forgot to take the gun to protect herself. Now that she realized that someone was pretending to be Qing Xing to scare her, she remembered that she wanted to kill the intruder with a gun.
Unfortunately, Ji Xueshan wasn’t a pushover. Of course, she wouldn’t just stand there and wait for Yu Shujun to shoot her.
By the time Yu Shujun pulled the gun out from under her pillow and turned around, Ji Xueshan had already opened the door and shoved the incense burner over.
“I’ll return your incense burner!” The incense burner hurled itself at her, and Yu Shujun instinctively shot at it.
Ji Xueshan seized the opportunity to close the door with a bang and escape.
The room was dead silent. Yu Shujun looked at the incense burner that had been hurled at her feet. She was still holding the gun in her hand, and she was in a daze.
At that moment, Qi Lin rushed over.
“What’s wrong?” Qi Lin turned pale with fright. He rushed over to support her and gently shook her body.
After a long while, Yu Shujun seemed to have thought of something. She pushed Qi Lin away without saying a word and searched the entire room for something. Finally, she saw the camera beside the bed. The position just happened to have a panoramic view of every corner of the room.
She slowly raised her pistol and pointed it at someone.
He Yi and Yi Liangze saw that Yu Shujun’s muzzle was aimed at them and then pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the camera went dark.
Yi Liangze tightened his fingers, and the phone creaked under his fingers.
“Let go!” He Yi slapped him unceremoniously and warned, “If there’s fire, throw it at her. Don’t break my phone!”
Yi Liangze let go of her phone. She wiped it and carefully put it away.
“When did this happen?” Yi Liangze’s voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
“When you entered the bedroom.” He Yi’s expression was indifferent, without any obvious emotions. “I saw about half of it then you barged in and caused a ruckus, so I had no choice but to put it away. I just finished the rest of it with you. I guess Xueshan is back already!”
Sure enough, Yi Liangze’s lustful heart was wiped clean and he was no longer in the mood. He casually picked up his clothes and said coldly, “Tell her to wait for me outside!”
*
Ji Xueshan wasn’t the only one who came to Yi Liangze’s living room. Yu Shujun had also arrived.
She was clearly in a sorry state. Her hair was in a messy bun and her exquisite makeup was a little blurry. Her gown was wrinkled and her feet were bare. She looked terrified and looked more like a female ghost than Qing Xing.
Qing Xing was not Qing Xing, but she still maintained Qing Xing’s makeup. So when Yi Liangze and He Yi saw her, their hearts could not help but tremble at the same time.
All the lights in the living room were turned on, and they were as bright as day. It was enough to see everything clearly, including people and ghosts.
There were no ghosts in the room, because everyone had shadows. According to legend, ghosts had no shadows.
Yu Shujun was furious. She pointed at Qing Xing and complained to Yi liangze, “This B*tch is pretending to be a ghost to scare me!”
Yi Liangze pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything. He just looked at her indifferently.
“You... Why are you looking at me like that?” Yu Shujun was a little nervous and couldn’t help but take two steps back. “Could it be... could it be that you asked her to scare me?”
He Yi walked to Qing Xing’s side. Although she knew that she was Ji Xueshan in disguise, she still had a very strange feeling in her heart. She tried her best to overcome the demonic barrier in her heart and sat calmly beside her. Looking at that beautiful but dejected face, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
Sue’s makeup skills were indeed superb. It was said that superb makeup skills were comparable to plastic surgery. Seeing it with her own eyes today, it was indeed not an exaggeration.
Ji Xueshan patted her face and said, “Does it look like it?”
She could tell from Yu Shujun’s reaction when she first saw her that it should be very similar.
Things happened suddenly, and He Yi’s arrangements were very rushed. From finding an identical incense burner, having Sue and her assistant bring it into Ji Xueshan’s living room, and Sue making Ji Xueshan look like Qing Xing, she did not even have the time to personally check if Ji Xueshan’s makeup was up to standard, she still had to accompany Yi Liangze to the banquet.
“It’s very similar!” He Yi pursed her lips slightly.
Yi Liangze had already stood up, and Yu Shujun instinctively shrank back. However, she seemed to have saved up something and looked extremely angry.
“I’ve been schemed against!” Yu Shujun looked at Yi Liangze with excitement. “But I didn’t expect that the person who schemed against me was your woman!”
Yi Liangze glanced at Yu Shujun indifferently and asked, “What happened to the Incense burner?”
“I...” Yu Shujun was stunned and couldn’t refute him.
She believed that Yi Liangze had seen the video of the whole process. She was scared stiff by the incense burner, especially the fact that she was eager to get rid of it. No one would believe it if she said that there was nothing wrong with the incense burner.
At that moment, Qi Lin walked in and stuck his head out of the door.
“Qi Lin, come in!” Yi Liangze shouted.
Qi Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in. His black face looked extremely embarrassed.
“Tell me, what’s going on!” Yi Liangze finally found a vent for his anger and spoke harshly.
Qi Lin’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat and he couldn’t say anything.
“What’s there to hide?” Yu Shujun was anxious and yelled at Qi Lin. “Look at you, you even made young Master Yi think that you did something wrong!”
Qi Lin was a man who was like a black tower, but at this moment, he wished he could find a hole to hide in. “I... I’m not sure either... Ugh!”
Before he could finish his words, Yi Liangze gave him a heartbreaking kick.
His tall and muscular body flew out and crashed into the wall. Blood surged in his chest and he almost vomited. He clutched his chest and slowly squatted down with his back against the wall.
“If you don’t explain clearly, I’ll kill you right now!” Yi Liangze pulled out his pistol and gritted his teeth. “I’ll shoot you. Do you feel wronged?”
“I don’t feel wronged!” Qi Lin didn’t dare to argue and only said, “Qi Lin’s life was given by the young Master. I won’t feel wronged no matter when he takes it back!”
Yi Liangze loaded the bullets and said angrily, “Before you die, make it clear what the f*ck you did behind my back!”
Qi Lin said that he was not wronged, but the expression on his face was extremely wronged. “I didn’t do anything! Heaven and earth have a conscience. What did I do to let Young Master down? Let heaven and earth destroy me!”
“Why are you sneaking over here? Why are you everywhere?” Yi Liangze’s anger at Yu Shujun was directed at Qi Lin. “What are you doing in sister Yu’s room in the middle of the night?”
“I...” Qi Lin’s face turned purple and he mumbled, “I... have... always liked her!”
He mustered up the courage to say this and heaved a sigh of relief. However, he did not dare to look at Yu Shujun.
Yu Shujun also heaved a sigh of relief. Her emotions had calmed down and she returned to her usual elegant and confident appearance, she said to Yi Liangze, “This matter has nothing to do with Qi Lin. He... just likes to walk around in front of me. He doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary.”
Yi Liangze didn’t look at her and coldly said, “I hate being deceived the most, and I don’t like people around me plotting and scheming against me! Sister Yu, don’t you think you should explain something!”
“I gave that incense burner to Qing Xing!” Yu Shujun gritted her teeth and could only tell the truth. “When she came to me and asked me what kind of woman you liked, I didn’t think too much about it. I just thought that she wanted to do her best to stay by your side. I told her that you preferred a woman with a cold personality like He Yi. She wouldn’t be easily taken in and wouldn’t be easily subdued by you. She could very well arouse your desire to conquer!”
The moment these words left her mouth, He Yi’s heart skipped a beat. Desire to conquer? Could it be that Yi Liangze only wanted to conquer her? As soon as her suspicions arose, she couldn’t help but be quick-witted and secretly alarmed. Yu Shujun’s good methods had succeeded in raising her suspicions about Yi Liangze with just a simple sentence.
Yet another scheme to sow discord! He Yi didn’t dare to be careless and was on full alert. She was determined that no matter what Yu Shujun said, she couldn’t believe it easily.
Yi Liangze frowned. He wanted to refute something, but his lips moved a few times. In the end, he did not say anything.
“The speaker has no intention of listening, but the listener has heart. I did not think that this girl, Qing Xing, would put her heart into it! She asked me to help her buy a first-class copper incense burner. She said that she wanted to burn incense to cheer you up! I did not think too much and got her one. Who would have thought that she would put aphrodisiac incense on the incense burner... After the incident that day, she was very panicked. She even asked me several times if you would be angry with her! I didn’t expect that she would use the incense burner to do such a dirty thing. If I explain now, it’ll only make things worse. Moreover, your wedding date with He Yi was coming up, and I didn’t want this to become a rift between the two of you. So I suppressed this matter and secretly threw away the incense burner. I even warned Qing Xing not to have any more delusions!”
He Yi couldn’t help but bite her lip. She realized that Yu Shujun’s story was intricately linked, and she didn’t reveal any flaws. A lowly tea girl wanted to attract the master’s attention and sought advice from Yu Shujun, who was the most trusted person on the Master’s side. Those clumsy methods were difficult to achieve. Yu Shujun reprimanded her because they did not result in any actual mistakes, she took the lead and threw away the incense burner. This matter was covered up.
Not to mention how to explain the rest, at least this part was reasonable and completely reasonable.
“I’m just asking how Qing Xing died!” Yi Liangze stared into Yu Shujun’s eyes and said word by word, “Does it have anything to do with you?”
In the video, Yu Shujun’s fear when she first saw Qing Xing was clearly because she had done something wrong. If she said that Qing Xing’s death had nothing to do with her, he definitely wouldn’t believe it.
“After that incident, you no longer let Qing Xing serve you. She was scared out of her wits and repeatedly asked me to help her think of a solution. I felt that I helped her find that incense burner. I’m also responsible for this incident...” Yu Shujun lowered her head, and she said guiltily, “She said that if you abandon her because of this, she won’t be able to live anymore! I was afraid that she would do something stupid, so I advised her to think of other ways. For example... asking He Yi for mercy. You dote on He Yi. If He Yi could put in a good word for her, you might be willing to keep her!”
He Yi’s expression slowly darkened. She had a strong foreboding feeling that Yu Shujun could use her tongue to reverse the situation! Such a meticulous mind, such a sharp tongue, and such a calm state of mind were truly extraordinary.
“Qing Xing was also desperate. She went to He Yi just like I said!” Yu Shujun was remorseful and blamed herself. “You know what happened after that. You caused a huge ruckus with He Yi and even hit Qing Xing! She was completely in despair. She vented all her resentment on me and said that it was all my fault! I was the one who helped her find the incense burner, and I was the one who gave her bad advice. She will never forgive me...”
Yi Liangze finally turned his gaze away from Yu Shujun. At that moment, his mood was also not very calm. He was just suppressing his emotions and did not show it.
“I thought that it would be fine if she caused a ruckus for some time, but I never expected...” Yu Shujun’s face was already covered in tears. “When Qing Xing died, I was very sad and blamed myself. I kept thinking that I was the one who caused her death! I couldn’t undo what I had done, and no matter how much regret I had, it was useless. She died just like that... I have an unshirkable responsibility!”
Yi Liangze continued to remain silent and lowered his head.
If Yu Shujun was responsible for Qing Xing’s death, then how could he not be responsible? He was the one who forced Qing Xing to her death.
“I wanted to tell you about this, but you and He Yi were about to get married! Mentioning these things would just be adding insult to injury. I thought, since she’s already dead, I should suppress this matter. I threw away the incense burner and erased the video from that day. I pretended that this never happened!” Yu Shujun’s face was full of tears, she choked on her sobs “But I’ve always felt guilty in my heart. I’ve dreamt countless times in the middle of the night when I was faced with the resentful eyes of Qing Xing. My heart was so stifled that I panicked. These past few days, I’ve been struggling to decide if I should tell you about this matter to lighten the burden on my heart. But... you and He Yi are on your honeymoon. Wouldn’t it be unlucky for me to say this?”
Yi Liangze clenched his fist and pressed it against his forehead. He closed his eyes and his throat moved. It was obvious that the emotions in his heart were no different from Yu Shujun’s at this moment.
“I suffer from the guilt of Qing Xing’s death every day. I can’t sleep at night because of nightmares...” Yu Shujun covered her face with both hands and sobbed. “Tonight scared me... I slept until midnight and suddenly saw that the incense burner that I threw away had returned. I wanted to throw it away as soon as possible! Then Qing Xing came in again... do you know, if it wasn’t for my strong mental fortitude and the hardships I had experienced in the past, I might have gone crazy on the spot!”
The last sentence was a blatant accusation and complaint against He Yi.
It was because she had arranged for Ji Xueshan to disguise herself as Qing Xing to scare Yu Shujun, that had caused a huge psychological trauma to her.
Yu Shujun covered her face and cried. She slowly sat down on the ground, still crying. Her crying contained a repressed grievance.
Yi Liangze did not turn back, but he finally spoke. “We were all at fault in this matter! He Yi might have misunderstood you... Don’t blame her, after all, you did participate in this matter!”
He Yi trembled violently. Did she misunderstand Yu Shujun?
At this moment, she really could not make up her mind. Because Yu Shujun’s words were reasonable and could completely withstand scrutiny. In fact, with Qing Xing’s death, all the true details were buried in the ground and no longer existed. She also instinctively suspected that this matter was not that simple.
After layers of cocoon peeling, the truth was actually like this!
The incense burner was indeed an aphrodisiac, which was why Yi Liangzhe could not help himself. The incense burner was indeed found by Yu Shujun for Qing Xing, which was why there were traces of the stolen goods after the incident. Qing Xing’s death was indeed related to Yu Shujun, that was why she erased the video!
But it was not what she had originally thought. It was not Yu Shujun who deliberately planned all of this, nor was it Yu Shujun who deliberately killed Qing Xing to plant a poisonous thorn between He Yi and Yi Liangzhe.
Although Yu Shujun felt extremely guilty about Qing Xing’s death, she was not the murderer!
The three of them were all responsible for Qing Xing’s death. It was impossible to say who was more responsible.
“I think,” He Yi finally spoke, “It’s not just the incense burner that’s problematic. I’m afraid there was also a problem with the tea!”
Yu Shujun slowly raised her tear-streaked eyes and shook her head gently. “I don’t know! Qing Xing won’t tell me if she added any ingredients to the tea! How could she possibly ask me how to make the tea?”
Qing Xing was a tea lady and she had a perfect grasp of the nature of tea. Of course, she wouldn’t ask Yu Shujun for advice on this.
Now that things had come to this, it would only be more awkward and embarrassing if they continued. Thus, the three of them fell silent.
Yi Liangze said embarrassedly, “Alright, the matter is already in the past. There’s no point in bringing it up again! Although He Yi’s actions were somewhat inappropriate, she had good intentions. She was afraid that Qing Xing would die unjustly. Sister Yu, you don’t have to take this matter to heart anymore.”
“I’m fine.” After Yu Shujun calmed down, she fully displayed her magnanimous qualities, she said tactfully, “Moreover, I did participate in this matter, and I’ve always felt guilty towards Qing Xing. If I tell you about this matter tonight, my inner demons will be lifted, and I can finally rest at ease in the future. I won’t blame He Yi, but I am grateful to her. If it weren’t for her, I would still struggle between telling her and not telling her in the future.”
After saying that, Yu Shujun bowed to He Yi and Yi Liangze and said sincerely, “Due to my momentary stupidity, I caused you and your wife a great deal of trouble. At the same time, I deeply troubled myself. I apologize for this!”
He Yi bit her lip and did not say a word.
“The fault is not yours alone. Don’t feel guilty!” Yi Liangze felt even more apologetic and regretful. “It’s very late. Go back and rest! Remember to instruct someone to tear down the tea room tomorrow and renovate it for other purposes. No more tea girls will be used for the banquet. Send all of them away!”
“Yes, okay!” Yu Shujun nodded. Before she left, she glanced at He Yi, intentionally.
He Yi didn’t express anything, nor did she say anything to comfort her.
Yi Liangze hesitated for a moment, then walked over and wrapped his arm around He Yi’s slender waist. He said to Yu Shujun, “Forget about this matter. There’s no need to mention it in the future!”
What he said with his arm around He Yi was equivalent to what he and He Yi meant.
Yu Shujun nodded again. She couldn’t stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
Qi Lin carefully sized up Yi Liangze and said, “Young Master, you should rest early too!”
Yi Liangze glanced at him and said apologetically, “I hurt you by accident just now!”
“It’s okay.” Qi Lin immediately opened his mouth. “My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. Getting punched or kicked is nothing. As long as it’s nothing, it’s fine!”
With that, Qi Lin left happily.
He Yi’s eyes flashed. She could tell that Qi Lin was more or less aware of the incident with the Qing Xing. Thus, when Yu Shujun was in trouble, Qi Lin immediately rushed over nervously. After the matter was settled, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. He could even be said to be happy.
Qi Lin was not a person who was good at hiding his emotions. His performance was more realistic!
The doubts in He Yi’s heart had never completely disappeared. She kept feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. However, everything was so natural and smooth. No matter how picky she was, she could not find any flaws.
When Ji Xueshan was about to leave, Yi Liangze stopped her.
After sizing her up for a while, Yi Liangze asked, “Sue put on makeup for you?”
“Yes!” Ji Xueshan answered.
“Does she know that Qing Xing is a dead person?” Yi Liangze asked casually.
Ji Xueshan was stunned and did not dare to answer immediately. She only looked at He Yi.
He Yi sighed. She knew that she could not hide it. Yi Liangze was too shrewd. He had seen through her, but he still asked this question on purpose. This meant that he did not completely trust her. It could be seen that he was a little angry that she was testing Yu Shujun.
Yu Shujun was his person, and she was someone that he trusted and valued deeply. She had taken the initiative to scare Yu Shujun half to death, causing a ruckus in the middle of the night. Even a good night’s sleep was ruined, and Yi Liangze’s dissatisfaction with her was gradually unable to be suppressed.
That was why he had asked this question, more or less looking for trouble.
Fortunately, Ji Xueshan did not answer blindly, instead of waiting for He Yi’s answer.
He Yi cast a satisfied glance at Ji Xueshan, then, she said indifferently, “I took the photo of Qing Xing and asked Sue to do the makeup, but she had to make her look like a ghost. Sue isn’t a talkative person. She only did what I told her to do and did not ask any questions.”
Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, “Sue must have sneaked that incense burner into Yu Shujun’s bedroom!”
“Yes.” He Yi was a little embarrassed and her face was burning. She felt that Yi Liangze was interrogating her. She had touched Yu Shujun and seemed to have touched his bottom line. In the past, no matter what, he had never been so stubborn. “She was also asked to help install the camera.”
Otherwise, how could she have the ability to sneak into Yu Shujun’s living room?
“Not only Sue but also her two assistants!” Yi Liangze said slowly and praised, “I can’t tell that these three women not only know how to put on makeup, but also have the potential to be special agents! Should I give them a raise?”
Ji Xueshan’s palms were already covered in cold sweat. She felt that Yi Liangze was also angry at her. It was just that because of He Yi’s face, he did not mention her name.
He Yi’s cheeks were also burning hot, but she could not flare up. “They are all doing what I told them to do. If you get angry, then come at me. It has nothing to do with them!”
“I’m not angry.” Yi Liangze turned around after saying that and walked towards the bedroom. “You might have something to tell your bodyguard. When you’re done, come back to the room. I have something to tell you!”
After saying that, Yi Liangze pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.
Only He Yi and Ji Xueshan were left outside.
“Young Master Yi seems to be angry.” Ji Xueshan whispered.
“Yeah.” He Yi raised her chin and didn’t seem to take it to heart. “It’s fine. Go back! But be careful on the way. Qi Lin seems to be very protective of Yu Shujun!”
“Should I stay here?” Ji Xueshan was a little worried. “Although you’re with young Master Yi, but... What if...”
“No one dares to touch me when I’m with him. You can go back!” He Yi instructed in a low voice “Jiameng is too lazy, and she’s also attracted to that playboy Fang Yu. She might not be doing her job while I’m away. Factory manager Zhuo spends all day in the laboratory, so I’ll rely on you to keep an eye on things in the factory!”
“Okay, I’ll definitely be extra careful!” Ji Xueshan looked at the bedroom door, which was ajar. Based on her experience as a police officer, she felt that the person inside should be leaning against the door to eavesdrop. She couldn’t help but chuckle, and wasn’t worried about He Yi’s situation anymore. “You don’t have to worry about the things in the factory. Enjoy your honeymoon with young Master Yi! Happy newlyweds, honey adds oil!”
He Yi was stunned. This girl... she was clearly in a mess, yet she still had the mood to say these words.
After Ji Xueshan left, she turned around. Looking at the bedroom door that was ajar, she was a little scared, but she could only stiffen her neck and walk over.
