The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Sun Shiche said so much in one breath. Chu Yunxi could see from his eyes that he was sincere to Yunniang and Sun Shaozhen. Come to think of it, Yunniang risked her life to save him twice. No matter how hard-hearted he was, he would be moved.

"Did you find out who was responsible for the two assassinations?"

Sun Shiche's expression changed. He looked at Chu Yunxi, "What does the princess mean?"

"Lord Sun will answer whatever I ask." Chu Yunxi didn't say much. It was better not to tell him the unconfirmed speculation.

Sun Shiche hesitated for a moment and said, "The first time, it was done by bandits roaming around Qinhuai. The second time, we were unable to catch those people, so we have no way of knowing."

Chu Yunxi nodded, indicating that she had finished asking questions, and asked Zhang Chenmu if he had any other questions. Zhang Chenmu was not as meticulous as Chu Yunxi, so he naturally had nothing to ask.

Chu Yunxi personally sent Sun Shiche back to the cell, then walked to Yunniang and Sun Shaozhen's cell, and said to Sun Shaozhen softly, "Zhen'er, sister has something to do with your mother, you stay here obediently, okay?"

Sun Shaozhen nodded obediently, "Don't worry, sister, I still have daddy to accompany me."

"Well, Zhen'er is so good."

Chu Yunxi finished talking to Sun Shaozhen before looking at Yunniang, "Yunniang, come with me. I have something to ask you."

Yunniang stood up calmly and said, "Princess, may I have another word with the master?"

Chu Yunxi nodded and walked to the side.

Sun Shiche looked at Yunniang. Yunniang hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Master, I have followed you for so many years and never asked you for anything. Today, I want to ask you for one thing. No matter what, please save Zhen'er, okay?"

Sun Shiche's eyes showed pain. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Yunniang, is it you?"

Today, Chu Yunxi asked him in such detail about Yunniang. Sun Shiche was not stupid. He guessed that Chu Yunxi would never ask him for no reason. Although he absolutely did not believe that all this was related to Yunniang, he still wanted to confirm it again and hear Yunniang say with his own ears that it was not the case.

But Yunniang said nothing, she just smiled sadly and said, "Master, are you willing to agree to me?"

Sun Shiche said: "Zhen'er is also my daughter. If possible, I will definitely protect her life. I dare not promise you that I can definitely protect her, but I promise you that Zhen'er will not die before me. I will do my best to protect her."

"In that case, thank you very much." Yunniang was polite and distant as if she was talking to a stranger. After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Sun Shiche, but looked at Sun Shaozhen with a loving look in her eyes, "Zhen'er, you also promised me that no matter what happens, you must do your best to live, okay?"

Sun Shaozhen nodded in ignorance, "Mom, I will. I have been through this since I was a child. I will listen to you and never give up."

"Good girl." Yunniang held her in her arms, secretly wiped away her uncontrollable tears, and when she let go, she still had a smile on her face, "Then mother and sister will go out for a while, Zhen'er, go get some sleep."

"it is good."

Sun Shaozhen lay down and closed her eyes. Yunniang covered her with a blanket, then stood up and said in a calm tone, "Princess, let's go."

Chu Yunxi took her into the interrogation room. Before she could speak, Yunniang said, "I did everything."

Zhang Chenmu was shocked. He was still wondering when he heard Chu Yunxi asking Sun Shiche about him and Yunniang. Aren't they looking for the murderer? Why are they asking about Mr. Sun's family affairs? It was only because of Chu Yunxi's identity that he couldn't help but say it. He didn't send Sun Shiche off just now. Now he suddenly heard Yunniang confessing, and he still found it a little hard to believe.

But Chu Yunxi, on the other hand, was extremely calm, obviously having expected this.

"Then tell me, what did you do?" There was no emotion in Chu Yunxi's voice.

Yunniang smiled and asked, "When did the princess start to doubt me?"

"I'm ashamed," Chu Yunxi said with no expression on her face, "You disguised yourself so well that I didn't start to suspect you until this morning. At one point I even thought I was wrong, so I just brought Sun Shiche here to confirm it."

"Then I should really thank the princess for trusting me and saving Zhen'er. If you hadn't treated Zhen'er sincerely, I would never have confessed my guilt."

"Then I also want to thank you for still having a grateful heart and not completely losing your conscience." Chu Yunxi spoke without mercy.

Yunniang didn't care. She smiled and said, "What does the princess want to know?"

"everything."

Yunniang also expected this answer. She pretended to think, "Let me think, where should I start? Let's start from the time when my parents were killed."

Chu Yunxi looked at her quietly.

What Sun Shiche said was right. Yunniang was indeed a boat girl on the Qinhuai River. Her family made a living by ferrying people across the river. The time when she took the Minister of Revenue Sun Shiche and his entourage on board was the beginning of Yunniang’s nightmare.

Because she jumped down to save Sun Shiche, Yunniang escaped danger, but her parents were killed and she was the only one left in the family.

Looking at the cold bodies of her parents on the boat, Yunniang was filled with hatred. If it weren't for Sun Shiche, if it weren't for him leading the bandits aboard, her parents wouldn't have died tragically, and she wouldn't have become an orphan, helpless and alone.

Although she knew it was not Sun Shiche's fault, it did not stop her from hating him. Later, Sun Shiche offered to help her bury her parents, and she agreed. It was his fault, and he should have been the one to clean up the mess.

After burying her parents, she originally planned to rest and continue to go back to Qinhuai River to ferry people. Her lover was still in Qinhuai, and she planned to go back to find him and marry him, so that she would not be left alone. With her own home, the two of them could be more diligent, and their lives would get better and better.

But unexpectedly, Sun Shiche raped her after getting drunk one day, and kept shouting that he loved her and hoped that she would stay. Afterwards, Sun Shiche burst into tears and said that he really liked her and couldn't help himself, and said that he would be responsible for her. She hated him so much that she wanted to kill him. He ruined her life. How could she face returning to Qinhuai to see her lover.

She drove Sun Shiche away, feeling that she had saved an ungrateful person. She regretted it endlessly and blamed herself. She was so disheartened that she wanted to end her life. At this time, someone found her and asked her if she wanted the Sun family to be destroyed. Yunniang hated it the most, so she agreed without hesitation. The person asked her to find a way to stay in the Sun family first, and after she had a firm foothold, she could plan step by step.

So she became Sun Shiche's concubine.

Sun Shiche was very happy to marry her and took good care of her, but she just felt disgusted. She stayed in her yard every day and seldom went out. After a while, she found out that she was pregnant. She gritted her teeth in hatred and tried to abort the child many times. She used many means to hurt herself, but she didn't expect that the child was still alive tenaciously.
