Chapter 40 - Confession (I)
"Wake her up." Zhuo Qingyan purposely said loudly.
"Judging by the time, he should have woken up a long time ago, but he's still pretending to be dead!" The corner of Ye Feng's mouth raised into a smile. He understood what she meant. He walked into the opened cell door, took out a long needle from his sleeve, and then squatted down to stab her in the face.
"Ah …" Zhu Xin screamed in shock, and opened her eyes, seeing the people in front of her, she was stunned, her eyes filled with fear.
"Zhu Xin, since you have fallen into my hands today, you only have two ways to go. The first way, is to ask whatever you want, to say whatever you want. But it must be the truth, and there is a chance for you to survive. Zhuo Qingyan stared at her.
"You're not stupid? Aren't you an idiot? " Zhu Xin widened his eyes in shock, his face immediately becoming pale white.
Ye Feng shouted coldly, "How dare you be so disrespectful to the wangfei. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Don't, don't …" Zhu Xin immediately shouted loudly, she was so frightened that she shrunk even further into the wall.
"This is not something you need to understand. Let me ask you, how did Second Aunt die?" Zhuo Qingyan rolled her eyes.
Hearing that, Zhuo Qingfan turned his head and stared at Zhuo Qingyan, his eyes full of doubt …
"Second Aunt died of illness, everyone in the residence …" Zhu Xin's eyes flashed.
Zhuo Qingyan interrupted her: "I want to hear the truth."
"Ugh …" "I don't know …" Zhu Xin dodged her gaze.
"Fine. If you don't know, you don't have to. There's no use in keeping this kind of person. Ye Feng, take care of it." Zhuo Qingyan said indifferently.
"Yes sir!" The night wind once again raised the long needle in his hand, and leaned towards her.
"Fourth Miss, that's not right. Princess Ling, don't... I said, I said... " Zhu Xin screamed in panic.
When she saw Zhuo Qingyan wave her hand and the night wind move away from her, she was finally relieved, but her forehead was covered in sweat. She slowed down before saying: "I said, can you let me go?"
"You sure speak too much nonsense. Even if you didn't say anything, I could have guessed that it wouldn't be a injustice for you to die …" Zhuo Qingyan snorted coldly.
"Don't... I said... "I said …" Zhu Xin was really afraid now, she never thought that the fool in front of her would be so frightening.
"It, it's Madam …" Madam was afraid … I'm afraid that if Second Young Master gets into position, the Second Aunt will get pampered and she will lose her power. There were the two concubines everywhere, but Second Young Master had won first place in the martial exam. Madam couldn't sit still any longer, and then … Zhu Xin said nervously.
"Get to the point!" Zhuo Qingyan shouted.
Her body trembled in fear as she immediately nodded and said, "Get someone to buy a type of snake. Let me put it in the lotus garden. After that snake bites Second Aunt, it …"
"Nonsense, how did the four maidservants die?" Zhuo Qingyan said coldly.
"They were beaten, beaten, and beaten to death by me after I had Tong Dazhu tie them up …" Zhu Xin was drenched in cold sweat.
"What kind of snake is that?" Zhuo Qingfan glared at her, his eyes full of hatred.
"A type of snake with white rings. I heard it's called a Many-Banded Krait. It's extremely poisonous …" Zhu Xin said.
"Mo Yan and the little child were also killed by you, Tong Dazhu?" Zhuo Qingyan asked again.
"Yes …" "Yes …" Zhu Xin closed her eyes.
"Who else did the Madam let you harm?" Zhuo Qingyan asked again.
Zhu Xin rolled her eyes and thought that this was her chance. She immediately said: "There's also Third Aunt who poisoned her with the same kind of snake, but it didn't work, so she used some kind of poison to put in the food that was sent to Mei Yuan. Also, the Master took away the painting that Third Aunt loved, and gave it to someone else."
Zhuo Qingfan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were red: "What's so good about killing my mother?"
"Of course there is, Second Aunt's mother family is General Wang, although Second Aunt is the daughter of General Wang, but Madam is afraid, in the future, with General Wang's help, Second Young Master will improve too quickly, suppressing Eldest Young Master's limelight, and at that time, Second Aunt's position will increase too …" Zhu Xin explained.
"But now, my official position is also higher than Eldest Brother's!" Zhuo Qingfan still did not understand.
"But you already don't have a mother. In the manor, you still have to respect her as your mother. No matter how big she is, she won't be able to shake your position." Zhuo Qingyan had revealed everything with one sentence.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's the fourth lady. No, the wangfei said it like that …" Zhu Xin immediately agreed.
Zhuo Qingfan helplessly closed his eyes: "My mother is really blind, how did she marry into such a devil's lair …"
"Actually, I also heard that before Second Aunt, there were two concubines in the mansion. Because one of the concubines gave birth to a son, an elder son, the Madam was afraid of seizing her position, so she killed both the concubine and the child …" Zhu Xin said.
"What?" Zhuo Qingfan was shocked.
However, Zhuo Qingyan was much more indifferent. She had already mentally prepared herself, but this matter had also surprised her.
When Zhu Xin saw the expressions on their faces, she felt that there was hope for him to live, so she spread the news once again, "Also, half a year ago, because Master wanted to marry the Quan Shu Family, she wanted Eldest Young Master to marry the second daughter of the Quan Shu Family. However, since Eldest Young Master's concubine carried a child, he pushed the thin willow into the well."
"Who did it?" Zhuo Qingyan asked.
"Tong, Tong Dazhu …" Zhu Xin said.
Zhuo Qingfan suddenly took a step forward, and pointed at Zhu Xin: "Who are you people? A demon? "
Zhuo Qingyan tugged at him, "Therefore, we can't stay in this mansion any longer. It's like hell."
Zhu Xin cleared her throat and looked at the two of them: "Second Young Master, Fourth Young Miss, I already said it, I really said it, let me go … …"
"And you didn't say how I was tied up in the woodshed? "Who told Tong Dazhu to kill me?" Zhuo Qingyan smirked coldly.
Zhuo Qingfan glared at her again.
"At that time, it was the Third Miss who wanted to find trouble with you. Thus, she took out a worthless jade ring to look for you in Plum Garden in order to break it so that she could make use of this opportunity to beat you up …" Zhu Xin became even more nervous, his gaze sweeping his surroundings as he continuously gulped.
"Continue!" Zhuo Qingyan said coldly.
"But, but we attacked too hard and knocked you out. Three, Third Miss will do, let us pull you away …" Zhu Xin's teeth were chattering.
"We'll talk about it later!"
"Fourth Miss, please spare our lives …" This servant was wrong … This servant was truly wrong … He really knew his mistake … Woo … "Howl …" Zhu Xin cried his heart out.
"It was you who came up with the idea of locking me up in the abandoned woodshed at the back of the manor. There's no one there all year round, and even if you scream your head off, no one will hear you. But why did you have to kill me?" Zhuo Qingyan said coldly.
"Because, because, because I received the news that the Second Young Master is coming back …" Third Miss is afraid... I was afraid that you would complain, so I panicked … Woo woo … * Then, let me decide … Woo … I said... It would be better to die … He's a fool anyway... Died outside the residence … No one was suspicious … "Sob, sob …" Zhu Xin cried.
