After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street
Chapter 27 Wolf Ambition
Ling Mo listened to the woman's accusation, her heart burning with anger. She wished she could bring the devil Guo Zhengwen to justice immediately.
However, she knew that she had to remain calm at this moment in order to bring justice to the victims.
So, she suppressed her anger and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you go to the city to report the case earlier? Why did you wait until your family was broken up before choosing to go to Beijing to appeal? Is there something unspeakable behind this?"
The woman burst into tears upon hearing this: "How could it be so easy? The devil Guo Zhengwen kept a close watch on us like prisoners, and any resistance was met with a beating. He forcibly snatched away all the women he liked. The men were whipped by the thugs he hired, and forced to do hard labor day and night, worse than animals. I was able to escape from the devil's den, all thanks to these brothers who risked their lives to save me."
Seeing this, the leading teenager took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Ling Mohui solemnly: "This is the private account book we found in Guo Zhengwen's mansion. It records all his illegal behaviors. You can compare it to see if there are any major discrepancies with the accounts that Guo presented to the Fu family."
Ling Mohui took the account book and quickly scanned the densely written words with her sharp eyes.
As she flipped through the account book, she thought that this account book might be the key clue to uncovering the Guo family's dark secrets.
At this time, Zhang's face had already turned as pale as paper and her body was shaky. She struggled to squeeze forward, wanting to take a look at the contents of the account book.
Guo's eyes flickered and she also tried to get closer to the account book, but was stopped by Ling Mohui.
Ling Mohui's eyes were as cold as ice, and she was obviously wary of Guo's actions.
Guo glared at Ling Mohui with a pair of angry eyes, and approached Ling Mohui step by step, her finger almost poking the tip of her nose, and asked, "Ling Mohui, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I have something to do with Guo Zhengwen's matter?"
Her voice boomed like thunder, and the air in the study seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Ling Mohui faced Guo's questioning, straightened her back, and snorted coldly: "You personally recommended Guo Zhengwen to enter the Grand Secretary's Mansion. Now he is suspected of a serious crime. How can you get away with it? What you need to do now is to calm down and wait for the results of the investigation to prove your innocence, instead of being hysterical here."
Guo's face turned from red to blue in an instant after being irritated by Ling Mo's reply.
She turned around and rushed to Zhang with tears in her eyes, crying: "Sister, look at your daughter-in-law, she treats her family like this, is she going to kill us all? How can we gain a foothold in the mansion and live our lives in the future!"
After saying this, Guo slammed her knees heavily to the ground with a "thump", and cried out in a shrill and sad voice.
Zhang took the account book and was frightened after just flipping through a few pages. The densely packed numbers and complicated connections made her steps unsteady.
Guo was her sister-in-law, whom she trusted and introduced into the mansion, but she never expected that she would do such a cruel thing.
Zhang felt mixed emotions.
Zhang suppressed her anxiety and said, "Sister-in-law, please get up first. If this matter really has nothing to do with you, we will clear your name."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guo suddenly noticed the change in Zhang's attitude. The invisible sense of crisis made her instantly suppress her arrogance, and a look of reluctant submissiveness appeared on her face.
Zhang carefully handed the evidence back to Ling Mohui, stared at her with complicated eyes, and asked softly, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Ling Mohui took a deep breath and said, "Guo Zhengwen is a man with evil intentions. He must not be allowed to stay in the mansion. Only if we personally send him to the government can we completely clear the Fu family of any connection with this matter."
A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she added, "But considering that if this matter is publicized, it will inevitably cause serious damage to my mother's reputation. I suggest that we act in secret first and secretly escort Guo Zhengwen to the government. In this way, we can preserve the reputation of the Fu family and minimize the trouble of rumors on my mother."
Ling Mohui's suggestion was reasonable. After a brief pause, Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Let's do as you say."
Before she finished her words, Zhang suddenly felt dizzy, as if her feet were stepping on air, and her body tilted to one side uncontrollably.
Ling Mohui was quick to move forward and firmly supported the shaky Zhang, and ordered decisively: "Quick, help Madam sit down!"
Ling Mohui quickly took out a silver needle from the acupuncture bag she carried with her and prepared to give Zhang acupuncture treatment.
At this moment, Fu Yansheng rushed into the study room and saw his mother fainted. He was extremely anxious: "Ling Mohui, what did you do? Why did my mother suddenly faint?"
Facing Fu Yansheng's questioning, Ling Mohui remained calm. She twisted the silver needle attentively and replied in a deep voice, "If you want to know the reason, why not go and ask your 'innocent' aunt directly."
Under Ling Mohui's light acupuncture, Zhang's originally pale face gradually turned red.
Ling Mohui observed attentively. After confirming that her mother-in-law's vital signs were stable and there was no risk of deterioration, she slowly stood up and said, "First, send Madam back to her room to rest. Be sure to keep quiet and do not disturb her."
Fu Yansheng felt relieved when he saw this, but he was still full of doubts about the reason why Zhang suddenly fell ill.
He hurried to Guo to ask for details, but Guo hesitated and could not give a clear answer.
Helplessly, Fu Yansheng could only turn to the servant who had been standing beside him and stare at him with a stern gaze, forcing him to honestly tell him the details of what had happened.
Listening to the servant's story, Fu Yansheng felt guilty.
He actually misunderstood Ling Mohui!
Fu Yansheng's gaze passed over the crowd and finally landed on the tall young man at the door. "It's you again, kid. What's your name?"
The young man did not flinch at all because of Fu Yansheng's momentum. Instead, he held his head high and answered in a resounding voice, "Zheng Jiaxuan."
Those unyielding eyes revealed a calmness and determination that was inconsistent with his age.
Fu Yansheng nodded slightly, secretly praising him in his heart: "Okay, I will personally accompany you to the yamen to handle this case, but you have to promise me one thing."
Before Fu Yansheng could speak, Zheng Jiaxuan answered, "I know, keep it a secret! Your wife has just told me."
Fu Yansheng looked at Zheng Jiaxuan, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and then turned his gaze to Ling Mohui, waiting for her response.
Ling Mohui's eyelashes trembled slightly, but her face remained as cold as ice: "Don't worry, these are servants who have signed death contracts, and they are very tight-lipped."
Obviously, she had already foreseen the problems that Fu Yansheng was worried about and made proper arrangements in advance.
When Fu Yansheng heard this, he was shocked.
"I will take care of the affairs at the mansion. You go and come back quickly." After Ling Mo finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Fu Yansheng looked at her figure getting farther and farther away, feeling mixed emotions.
