Chapter 247 Ge Shi Has Killed Someone
She was already shocked enough to see that the two of them were alright, but when Ye Shijun woke up, everyone at the table sat up and glared at her angrily.
Chen Zhan, in particular, walked around the table to her, and disregarding her current embarrassment and dishevelment, suddenly stomped hard on the back of her hand—
"what--"
You Qingrou let out another scream.
Chen Zhan pointed at her forehead with disgust and said, "I've seen insidious and vicious people, but I've never seen anyone who abuses such insidious methods! Just because you're not happy with your own life, you want to ruin your cousin's appearance and even ruin her entire life. A poisonous woman like you deserves to be torn to pieces!"
You Qingrou was already badly injured by Gu Simo's kick, and then he stomped on her so hard that she was in excruciating pain, and her face became ferocious.
Hearing the sound of her finger bones being broken, You Hongxin rushed to Chen Zhan's side, grabbed his sleeve, and shook her head at him.
Chen Zhan turned his head, squinted at her, and asked, "Are you going to plead for her?"
You Hongxin shook her head again. "It's not that I'm pleading for her, but what they did is a capital offense. You don't need to take someone's life for her sake."
Chen Zhan smiled, a slight curl at the corner of his lips.
But when he turned back to look at You Qingrou, the smile on his lips vanished instantly, and he snorted coldly, "Considering that this is the first time Xin'er has thought of me, I'll let you catch your breath a little longer!"
After saying that, he stopped, took You Hongxin's wrist, and led her to You Jianchuan and Madam Wen. He said, "My lord and madam, I need to go back to the manor to discuss matters with my father. My mother wants to see Xin'er, so why don't I take her back to the Chen manor and let my mother take care of her? You may face many things in the future, and with Xin'er not by your side, you will have fewer worries."
You Jianchuan and Ma exchanged glances.
A few days ago, their daughter was tricked by Luo Lixian, who wanted to marry her off to the fourth prince of Beilin Kingdom. If it weren't for Chen Zhan's intervention, their Marquis's Mansion wouldn't know how to refuse the fourth prince of Beilin Kingdom.
My daughter was nearly harmed by You Qingrou again today...
If there were a place that could temporarily protect her daughter, that would be ideal.
Madam Ma said gratefully, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Madam Chen. We'll go pick up Xin'er after we've settled things at home."
You Jianchuan also said, "Azhan, I'm entrusting Xin'er to you."
Just then, a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked in, carrying someone in his hand. The gray-robed man threw the person in his hand next to You Qingrou and turned to Ye Gengxin, saying, "General, this man wanted to assassinate Young Master Hongze."
Ye Gengxin knew his identity; he was a disciple of Huaxiang Pavilion who had come specifically to treat You Hongze's injuries.
Before Ye Gengxin could speak, You Jianchuan and Madam Ma surrounded the middle-aged man and asked anxiously, "Mr. Liu, is our Ze'er alright?"
Liu Mo smiled slightly at them, "My lord and madam, rest assured, Young Master Hongze is doing well."
Gu Simo stepped forward to greet him, "Senior Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Mo replied with a smile, "It's not hard work. Taking care of Young Master Hongze is much more relaxing than staying in the pavilion."
Ye Gengxin stood up and instructed his son, "Shijun, take them both away and make sure they are kept under strict guard. After the Prince of Liang is captured, hand them over to the Emperor for judgment!"
He then walked up to Liu Mo and said gently, "We still need to trouble Mr. Liu with Hongze's matter. This child is expected to pass the high school entrance exam this year, so we can't delay him."
Liu Mo cupped his hands in greeting, "General, rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure that Young Master Hongze recovers as soon as possible."
He didn't linger and left quickly.
Chen Zhan also left the Yufeng Marquis's residence with You Hongxin.
Ye Shijun and Gu Simo also took You Qingrou and the assassin away.
The remaining people are Ye Gengxin, You Jianchuan, and Ma.
Upon realizing that You Jianbin had stolen the military tally, You Jianchuan asked in bewilderment, "General, why didn't you stop my elder brother? If he were to use the military tally to rebel, how could we bear the consequences?"
Ye Gengxin gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry, since we anticipated that You Jianbin would steal the military tally, we naturally made preparations to deal with it."
Ma asked, "General, what should we do next?"
Ye Gengxin thought for a moment and said, "You should go to your second sister-in-law's hometown for the time being. I will send you a message, and then you can come back."
You Jianchuan nodded and said, "Madam, the general is right. We'll go to your hometown to avoid trouble, so that my elder brother won't target us again and cause trouble for the general and the others."
“Okay, I’ll go pack my things right away.” Madam Ma agreed.
……
In the secluded courtyard.
Looking at the military tally in his hand, Yuchi Rui laughed loudly, "That bastard Ye Gengxin, once I ascend the throne, I'll be the first to take his head!"
You Jianbin smiled obsequiously, "Your Highness, as you can see, I have obtained the military tally for you, as you promised me..."
Yu Chi Rui glanced at him, a smile playing on his lips, and walked up to him, patting him on the shoulder. "You have rendered such a great service. If I successfully ascend the throne, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. You can choose any second-rank official position you like."
Upon hearing this, You Jianbin's eyes lit up as if they were shining with a thousand rays of light. "Your Highness, is it true?"
Yu Chi Rui nodded and said gently, "There's nothing for you to do now. You should go back and wait for good news."
"Alright, alright... I'll go back now and won't disturb Your Highness any longer!" You Jianbin bowed and retreated to the door.
Just as he turned to step over the threshold, the guards on either side of the door simultaneously drew their swords and thrust them at him.
"Well!"
Looking at the two sword tips protruding from his abdomen, You Jianbin's wide eyes were filled with deep shock.
However, he no longer had the chance to turn around and question the man in the room.
As the two guards simultaneously drew their swords, his body trembled violently, then he collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless, his eyes staring out menacingly, filled with pain and resentment.
"Throw him into a mass grave!"
"Yes."
……
"Your Highness, Your Highness, as you predicted, Yuchi Rui really did silence You Jianbin and even had his body thrown into a mass grave," Wen Yan reported.
"Has the body been retrieved?" Ye Shishu asked.
"Your Highness, we've retrieved it."
"Alright, after dark, send the body to the Wei family. You Jianbin had been having an affair with Ge for a while, so Ge should see him one last time."
"Yes."
……
Wei family.
Wei Guangzheng is dead, and Wei Yonghuai is in prison. Now, only Ge Shi and Yu Niang remain in the Wei family.
Because of her affair with You Jianbin, Ge was worried that Yu Niang would find out. In addition, given Yu Niang's previous seduction of Wei Guangzheng, she decided to settle both old and new scores with Yu Niang.
Just as she was about to make her move, news came that Yu Niang had miscarried.
At first, she didn't believe it, so she went to Yu Niang's courtyard to check the truth. She saw maids and servants bustling about, carrying basins of bloody water out of Yu Niang's room.
Seeing that she still wanted to go into the room, the housekeeper quickly stopped her and whispered to her, "Madam, you'd better not go in. I heard that Aunt Yu is carrying a stillborn child. She is very likely to have postpartum hemorrhage now. If something happens to her now, she might be blamed."
Upon hearing this, Ge realized that it made sense.
Although she wanted to kill Yu Niang, now that Yu Niang had given birth to a stillborn child, it was Heaven avenging her, and she had no need to get herself into trouble again!
So she didn't linger any longer and decisively returned to her own courtyard, leaving Yu Niang to fend for herself.
Before she knew it, You Jianbin hadn't come to see her for several days.
"That bastard! He told me to wait for him, promising me wealth and luxury, but now he's nowhere to be found!"
Returning to her room from her walk in the garden, looking at the cold and deserted room, Madam Ge couldn't help but curse inwardly.
But when she got closer to the bed, she suddenly noticed a bulge under the thin blanket, clearly indicating that someone was hiding inside.
She then said to the maid, "You may leave. I want to go to bed early tonight and don't need any more service."
"Yes."
After the maid left the room, she made a point of checking the doors and windows before returning to the bedside. Pointing to the bulging thin quilt on the bed, she scolded angrily, "You dog, how many days has it been since you came? Let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you!"
Originally, she looked down on Shang Jianbin, but ever since Wei Guangzheng took Yu Niang into his household, he has been spending his time with prostitutes and has never touched her again.
Moreover, Wei Guangzheng was already dead, making her a widow.
Although You Jianbin was a good-for-nothing, he was still a man, and in some ways even better than Wei Guangzheng. No matter how much she looked down on You Jianbin, she tacitly allowed her to continue with him because he was still "useful".
Seeing no movement on the bed, she became even angrier, tearing off the thin blanket while yelling, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Don't think you can take advantage of me just because I slept with you—ah!"
When a pair of hideous, dead eyes appeared, she screamed and collapsed to the ground in terror.
"Someone's...someone's dead..." She crawled to the door in terror and opened it with trembling hands.
However, when she opened the door and saw the crowd descending from the sky, she froze.
Outside the door, there was not only Yu Niang, who was heavily pregnant, but also several yamen runners.
Yu Niang excitedly told the bailiff, "Sir, my wife often had an affair with Master You. Today she lured Master You to our home and murdered him. Master You's body is inside!"
