Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 68 Investigating the truth behind the death of the Marquis of the Guardian
Xue Zimo left the charity cemetery and went to inform Feng Ruian and Feng Shaoyuan.
When the two learned that Feng Chun had died tragically and his body had been dumped, they hurried to the back mountain of the charity cemetery.
When we arrived, we saw two men tied to a big tree.
Seeing Feng Chun's body in front of them, Feng Ruian screamed "Wow" and rushed over.
"Dad, why are you here? What's wrong with you?"
She pounced on Feng Chun's body, but quickly retreated when she smelled the stench of corpse.
Seeing a big bloody hole on Feng Chun's neck, he was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and retched.
The same is true for Feng Shaoyuan.
He didn't expect that Feng Chun had been missing for many days, and when he saw him again, even his body had begun to stink. He rushed over and swung his fist towards the face of one of the tied men.
"Did you kill my father?"
The two errand boys were so scared that they kept shaking their heads.
Feng Shaoyuan pulled the strips of cloth out of their mouths, "Did you kill my father? I want to avenge my father!"
The man was beaten so hard that he was dizzy and begged for mercy:
"Sir, we didn't kill him. We are here to bury the body. Someone else killed him..."
Feng Shaoyuan had lost his mind and just wanted to kill the person in front of him.
Feng Ruian ran over and pushed him away, "Brother, stop hitting me. He said someone else killed our father."
Feng Rui'an burst into tears and asked the man:
"Do you know who the murderer is? And who asked you to dispose of my father's body?"
The man who was beaten said in fear:
"It was the maid of the concubine of the Prince of Chu who paid us to do this. Young Master and Young Lady, we don't know who killed this master. We are responsible for taking the money and doing the work. If you want to know who killed him, go ask the concubine."
Feng Ruian and Feng Shaoyuan were both shocked.
Was it arranged by Feng Shuyao?
The two of them couldn't figure it out. Feng Shaoyuan took a look at Feng Chun's body, stuffed the rag back into the man's mouth, and said to Feng Ruian:
"Rui An, let's go find Feng Shuyao!"
The two of them hurried to the Prince of Chu's mansion.
The maid came to report that the Fourth Young Master Feng and the Fifth Young Miss Feng were looking for the concubine.
Feng Shuyao felt so uncomfortable that she was dying. When she heard Feng Ruian coming again, she waved her hand and said:
"Drive them away."
The maid said, "Concubine, those two said that there is something important about their father. Please make sure you see them."
Feng Shuyao raised her eyebrows. Could it be that they discovered something?
Ask someone to invite the two of them in.
When Feng Shaoyuan and his sister saw Feng Shuyao, their eyes were filled with resentment.
Feng Shuyao dismissed the servants and said, "Shao Yuan, Rui An, what do you want from me?"
Feng Ruian told him about the two men who were about to bury her father's body in the back hills. She pointed at Feng Shuyao and said angrily:
"Feng Shuyao, why did you do this? Did you know that my father was dead, or did you kill him? Do you want to destroy the body?
No wonder you gave me money to get rid of me when I came to you before. It turns out that you were feeling guilty at that time! Feng Shuyao, tell me, did you kill my father? "
Feng Ruian's voice was loud, and Feng Shuyao broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, she asked the servants to stay away, otherwise Feng Ruian's angry voice would have known about this matter.
Feng Shaoyuan was also angry and said: "Feng Shuyao, my father's body is still lying in the mountains. If you don't give us an explanation, we will report you to the authorities and sue you for murder!"
Feng Shuyao looked at the two people in front of her coldly, her heart was flustered but her face was calm, and she said:
"No wonder Feng Qingluan said you are ungrateful idiots. You two are fools without brains. You have wasted all my efforts on you!"
Feng Ruian was confused, "Feng Shuyao, what do you mean?"
Feng Shuyao said, "Didn't you come to me and tell me that Third Uncle was missing? You even went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the authorities. They asked you to go to the charity cemetery to check, but you didn't want to believe that Third Uncle was in trouble, so I sent someone to check.
I learned that my third uncle was murdered, and I thought that my third aunt was exiled, and you would never see her again in this life. Now my third uncle has died for unknown reasons. If you knew this fact, could you accept it?
That's why I asked someone to bury Third Uncle's body, so that you would think he was missing, and there would still be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, how could you two, brother and sister, survive in the capital without any elders and without any skills? I was doing this for you out of kindness, but you came to question me, what grudge do I have with Third Uncle that I would kill him?"
Feng Shuyao's remarks sounded reasonable and logical. Both the Feng siblings were confused by her remarks and both looked unhappy.
Feng Shaoyuan asked, "You didn't kill my father? Did you really order people to do this out of kindness to bury him?"
Feng Shuyao said, "What else? If I killed my third uncle, why would I kill him? He is my third uncle and my father's biological brother. Of course, if you want to say that I have selfish motives, I do. I don't want my father to know that my third uncle has passed away and make him sad."
The Feng siblings looked at each other and fell silent.
Feng Shuyao saw that her words were useful, and said:
“Unfortunately, I wanted to keep this secret, so I’ll let you know. You no longer have the support of your father and mother. As your cousin, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future.
Zhinan, give them five hundred taels of silver. When you find out that Third Uncle has died, bury him. Send him back to the countryside of Yangzhou or something else. You decide. Third Uncle died accidentally. It is possible that he offended someone. You should not make it public, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
After listening to Feng Shuyao's words and getting some money from her, Feng Shaoyuan and Feng Ruian felt dazed when they left the Prince Chu's Mansion.
Feng Ruian said: "Brother, do you believe what Feng Shuyao said?"
Feng Shaoyuan said: "I don't know, but my father is indeed dead."
Feng Rui'an asked: "Then what should we do?"
Feng Shaoyuan asked in confusion, "Didn't you notice? Feng Shuyao seemed to be trying to persuade us not to make a fuss about our father. The money she gave us looked like hush money to me."
Feng Ruian's eyes widened, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Feng Shaoyuan clenched his fist and said, "Perhaps father's death can bring us prosperity and wealth again. Didn't Feng Shuyao say so? If you have any difficulties, go to her. Do you still want to go back to Muyunzhai and be looked down upon?"
Feng Ruian shook his head.
Feng Shaoyuan said: "That's right, we were driven out of the Marquis' Mansion and taken in by the King of Chu. It seems glamorous, but in fact we live a lowly life. Our mother was exiled and our father is gone. We also have to make plans for the rest of our lives.
There is definitely more to Dad’s death than meets the eye. Since Feng Shuyao won’t let us make it public, we can use her to live a wealthy life again.”
Feng Ruian understood a little bit, she bit her lip, "So what should we do next?"
Feng Shaoyuan said: "Go and take care of father's funeral. I want you to stay in the Chu Palace and stay by Feng Shuyao's side. Maybe you can find out who killed father."
Feng Ruian nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother!"
After the two made the decision, they returned to the back mountain of the charity cemetery to deal with Feng Chun's body.
On the other side, Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin came to a farm in Ningxiang Village on the outskirts of the capital.
Seeing the plaque above her head, Tianyi Villa, Feng Qingluan took a deep breath.
In the past few days, she had asked her grandmother and people who knew about the circumstances of her father's "accidental" death three years ago for some information, and also looked up what the original owner's mother did after the death of the Marquis of Protectorate.
If she steps in here today, she might learn part of the truth about the original owner's father's death, which may lead to some hidden secrets.
She was mentally prepared. No matter what, she would get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to the original owner's parents and the original owner!
