Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Zheng raised his hand and slapped Zhao Yuanzhi in the face. The "pow" sound was especially abrupt at that moment.
The sound was loud enough to make one feel how angry he had to be to use such force.
"You're making a ruckus. The entire Prime Minister's Hall has been disgraced by you." Yu Zheng was so angry that his whole body was trembling. The veins on his forehead were popping out and his hands were aching.
The way he looked at her was no longer gentle. He must have misjudged her in the past, which was why he had taken a fancy to a woman like her!
As for Zhao Yuanzhi, she was completely dumbfounded. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Master, what did I do wrong?"
Clutching his right cheek, the scorching pain continued. However, when he looked at the other party, he found it hard to believe.
It was obvious that she had not expected him to treat her like this. Could it be that he had already discovered something? However, this idea was quickly denied. It was impossible.
Yu Yu looked at him coldly from the side and even the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. However, in the next second, he revealed an extremely surprised expression as he asked: "Huh? Why is there a wound on your arm? "It's a bit similar to what Hui An's soul said."
With these words, even if he didn't want to arouse suspicion, it would be difficult to do so.
As expected, even the government replayed the entire incident in their minds. Apparently, they never thought that the murderer would actually be someone close to their bed!
He suddenly flung the items on the table onto the ground, and angrily shouted, "Snake, scorpion, vile woman! You are the murderer. "
Zhao Yuanzhi knew what was going on right away, but pretended to be innocent on the surface. "Old master, don't tell me you don't know about my character?"
If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't know about the Ascendant cultivators earlier on, she would have believed her words because of the other party's innocence.
Unexpectedly, on the road, he had been told the truth about the spirit.
Moreover, he was talking about the marks left on the arms of other women, and it just so happened that they didn't have any trace of it, yet they appeared on her body. Even if they wanted to make people not suspect them, it would be a little difficult.
"You still have the face to say what sort of person you are? After so many years, even though I've treated you so well, how did you repay me?" Yu Zheng's eyes were gloomy to the extreme, he was almost hysterical as he cursed loudly.
He shouldn't have married her back then, and it wouldn't have led to so many consequences.
"Even so, you can't frame me so easily!" Zhao Yuanzhi couldn't help but raise her voice, hoping to keep it hidden.
Faintly, there was a gaze that was always on her. When she raised her head to look over, she only saw a mocking gaze.
"Take a look at your wound. Didn't you get scratched by Hui An?" After hearing this, he suddenly let out a cold laugh. He then pointed at the wound on her arm and said, "Your wound can't fool people."
The way he looked at Fang Xingjian was as if he was looking at an extremely unfamiliar person. However, there was even more pain in his eyes.
Zhao Yuanzhi was obviously feeling guilty when she spoke, but she still tried her best to defend herself. "Heaven and earth can tell, but who can prove that the spirit inquiring was real? Not to mention, the soul can actually speak …"
On one side, Yu Yu Yu was watching from the side, she wanted to see what kind of excuse the Zhao Family would come up with when the evidence was presented in front of them.
"You still want to quibble until now …" It was more than politics closing their eyes, refusing to look at each other.
Even though they had been together for so many years, it seemed as if he had never seen her heart clearly. It turned out that he was also someone who did not care what tricks he took. In fact, after killing someone, he did not hesitate to blame it on others.
When the truth was revealed, it was useless to argue any further. Instead, it would easily lead to disaster and lead to a miserable end.
Zhao Yuanzhi took a deep breath and admitted, "That's right. I killed her, but I couldn't do it. If I didn't kill her, then …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted in an instant.
"You don't need to say anymore. You've already thrown all your face away, but when you made this decision, you should have thought of the consequences." The moment he opened his eyes, he was filled with killing intent.
"Master, I have my reasons for killing, please listen to my explanation." Zhao Yuanzhi was still trying to justify herself, all in order to make him believe her.
However, no matter what she said, the other party remained indifferent and did not give any response.
Yu Yu watched from the side and naturally knew that it was better than politics. He didn't dare to make a decision. After all, he had been a man with a pillow for so many years.
Thus, she took the initiative to open her mouth, "I say mother, there are some things it is better for you to admit openly. But since you've already killed someone, do you think you'll be safe?"
With this incident, no matter who it was, it would be hard for them to let it go!
Now that the killer had been found, the only thing left to do was to see if they were brought to justice. However, Zhao Yuanzhi was cunning, and she might even be able to escape unscathed.
"Old master, I only did that because I have my own difficulties. Please believe me. For the sake of our many years of friendship, can you please not send me to the government?" Zhao Yuanzhi ignored him and continued to plead.
This was her last chance. If she wasn't careful, she might end up in jail, and she didn't want to!
"If you can't take responsibility for what you have done, then why did you kill someone by mistake?" It was obvious that he wanted to make Zhao Yuanzhi suffer.
Silence!
It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
As for Yuanzhi, she was still deep in her thoughts. She could hear Zhao Yuanzhi's wails echoing in her ears. When the truth was revealed, perhaps she hadn't even made it in time.
"Father, this is a very important matter. Please think about it carefully." Seeing that the other party seemed to be wavering, he quickly reminded him.
Whether it was to protect others for personal gain or to hand them over, it was not the best result.
As for how he was going to deal with it, it would depend on whether he was still concerned about kinship or if he was looking for a way to resolve it.
"Right now, the imperial court is considering the situation of the inner chamber. If this matter were to be exposed, then our Xiang Fu will become the laughing stock of the clan. Didn't you say that you had difficulties?" "Go ahead." After pondering over it for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes as if he had made a decision.
