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

The moment she woke up, Aunt Chen was a little dazed. When she saw Chu Yunxi, she slowly remembered what had just happened. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes and then flowed out violently.

Chu Yunxi didn't say anything. Several people sat or stood beside her, waiting for Aunt Chen to digest the news herself.

Mother Chen cried for a long time before she slowly calmed down. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.

She murmured, "I killed the master and the mistress. It's all my fault."

As she spoke, her tears began to flow again.

Chu Yunxi silently handed over the handkerchief and said, "Now is not the time to blame yourself. The most urgent thing is to find out what happened back then. If you don't want Mr. Gao to be known as a hypocrite after his death, and you don't want Madam Gao to die in obscurity, then tell us everything you know."

Aunt Chen just shed tears and shook her head, but refused to speak.

Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "Mother Chen, do you want the whole Gao family to not be able to close their eyes? Madam Gao is so good to you, can you bear to let her die unjustly?"

Chu Yunxi had never spoken so harshly before. Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu looked at her together, but she ignored them and just stared at Chen Ma.

This sound made Chen Ma tremble all over. After a long time, she sighed. There was an indescribable desolation in this sigh. Her lips trembled for a long time before she finally uttered a sound, "Back then, when the master rescued the Yue family, I helped arrange it."

As Aunt Chen told the story, what happened back then slowly unfolded before Chu Yunxi and the others.

It turned out that the Yue family was rescued by Gao Qinghe that year. At that time, Chen Ma was Madam Gao's personal servant and had a very high status among the servants of the Gao family. So Madam Gao gave her the task of arranging the Yue family.

At that time, Aunt Chen felt very superior in the mansion. Relying on the lady's favor, she had the final say. She arranged her father-in-law in the back kitchen to do the work of carrying firewood and fetching water, while her mother-in-law was placed in the kitchen to do odd jobs and deliver meals.

Since the two children were relatively young, nothing was arranged for them and they just played with the two other children from Gao's family.

At the beginning, everything was fine. The Yue family was grateful to the Gao family and did everything they could. My mother-in-law was only about 25 or 26 years old at that time. She was good-looking and had a mature temperament of having experienced many hardships. After being raised in the mansion for a period of time, she was no longer as skinny as she was at the beginning due to hunger. After her face became rosy, she was actually a top-notch beauty.

Although she wore the coarse cloth clothes of a servant every day, it could not hide her beautiful appearance. Gradually, people began to secretly watch her.

This included Chen Ma’s lover, Gao Sui, the housekeeper of the Gao family at the time.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao knew about the affair between Chen Ma and Gao Sui, and were happy to see it happen. Although they were both in their thirties, the man and the woman were unmarried, and it was a rare opportunity for them to fall in love with each other, so they were happy to help them get together.

The two have even discussed the wedding date and are planning to get married soon.

But at this time, Gao Sui saw Yue and was immediately attracted to her.

A woman in love is extremely sensitive. Mother Chen soon discovered that something was wrong with Gao Sui. After following him twice, she saw the clues.

She was furious and had a big quarrel with Gao Sui, scolding him for coveting a married woman, calling him a heartless and unfaithful man.

Gao Sui got so angry after being scolded that he simply admitted that he liked Yue and said that Chen Ma was inferior to her in every way.

Aunt Chen ran out and burst into tears, feeling extremely hateful towards the Yue family. Just then, a masked man in black approached her.

The man in black asked her directly if she wanted to destroy the Yue family and win back Gao Sui's heart. He could help her. He said that he was Yue's former lover, but Yue abandoned him and followed someone else, so he hated Yue to the core. He had no other wishes in this life but to destroy the Yue family and the Yue family.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Overwhelmed by hatred, Chen Ma agreed without hesitation. The two of them planned a play together. Chen Ma told him the news that Mr. Gao and his wife were going out, and helped him sneak into the Gao Mansion.

What Chen Ma didn't expect was that this man turned out to be a master of disguise. He disguised himself as Mr. Gao, pretended to be drunk and entered Mr. Gao's room, and asked Chen Ma to arrange for Yue to deliver sobering soup.

As a result, Yue thought that the person who had taken her by force was Mr. Gao, who had saved her life, so she decided to swallow the bitter pill and leave the Gao family quietly.

But what she didn't know was that Chen Ma told Gao Sui that Yue had seduced the master and climbed into his bed. Gao Sui saw from afar Yue running out of Master Gao's room in disheveled clothes, and he was immediately furious, turning love into hate.

So Gao Sui took his servants and guards to chase the Yue family, and had a conflict with them, which led to the final tragedy.

"The man in black disappeared afterwards, and I didn't even see his true appearance," Aunt Chen burst into tears. "Later, when I recalled it, I realized that I must have been used by someone. This matter has been hidden in my heart for all these years, like a thorn in my throat. When I think of that family, I can't sleep all night long, and I can't tell anyone. My relationship with Gao Sui is over. The master and the mistress don't know about this. When they asked me why I didn't get along with Gao Sui, I just said that the two of us had different personalities and didn't dare to reveal a word. Later, I couldn't stay there any longer, so I told my mistress that I wanted to retire and return home. I didn't expect that my mistress would... It was me, it was all me who killed the master, the mistress, and the two young masters."

Mother Chen's emotions exploded again, and this time she burst into tears, crying out all the self-blame, worry, fear, sadness, and depression that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei quietly left the room. Chu Yunxi looked at the green mountains in front of her and remained silent for a long time.

A woman's jealousy is so terrible, but the most confusing thing is the man in black. Who is he? Is he really Yue's former lover?

"Definitely not." Xiao Mubei seemed to know what Chu Yunxi was thinking.

Chu Yunxi looked up at Xiao Mubei, "I don't think so either. This man has such a good timing, it shows that he has been secretly observing for a long time, planning for a long time, and he knows how to disguise himself, and he is very scheming. It's not like a commoner like Yue can know him. He hid himself in the whole thing, instigating, alienating, and killing with a borrowed knife. What do you think is his purpose?"

Xiao Mubei couldn't answer.

The whole thing was like a deep pit. The more you dig, the deeper the bottom becomes. But today, one thing was finally confirmed: Master Gao was indeed innocent. Over the years, Yue Haoran hated and killed the wrong people.

The housekeeper Gao Sui at that time was also killed in the Gao family massacre. Chen Ma is the only person who knows what happened at the moment, so naturally she has to follow Xiao Mubei back to Beijing and testify at the Dali Temple.
