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

Chu Yunxi stepped forward, helped her father-in-law up, and said, "King Dingbei will always help when he sees injustice. You don't have to take it too seriously. But do you know who wants to kill you?"

"I know. They are Prince Jingyuan's men," the father-in-law said bitterly. "My son Haoran has been serving as a guard in Prince Jingyuan's mansion for the past two years. I don't know what happened this time. Prince Jingyuan actually sent people to kill us father and daughter."

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi looked at each other. It turned out that he didn't know what Yue Haoran had done.

Sure enough, his father-in-law suddenly grabbed Xiao Mubei's hand and said to him anxiously: "My Lord, the housekeeper in the mansion refused to tell me what happened. Please tell me, how is Haoran now? Is he okay?"

Xiao Mubei patted his hands and said, "He is fine for now. He is in the Dali Temple now. Uncle Yue, there are some things I want to know from you. Let's go in and talk."

The father-in-law staggered out of the way, "Your Highness, please come in."

Next to her, Chu Yunxi took out a pearl hairpin from her head and waved it towards Yue Yanran, indicating that she was giving it to her. She immediately became happy, ran to Chu Yunxi, took the hairpin, looked at it left and right, held it up on her head, and shook her father-in-law's arm and said, "Dad, it looks good."

"It looks good, it looks good, thank you girl, I wonder who this girl is..."

Steward Ling said hurriedly, "This is the concubine that Prince Dingbei will soon marry."

Chu Yunxi had been so busy recently that she almost forgot about this. It was only when she heard what Butler Ling said that she suddenly remembered that it was almost time for Emperor Sui Ming to appoint her as the concubine of Prince Dingbei.

The father-in-law was about to kneel down to pay his respects, but Chu Yunxi quickly supported him and stopped him from kneeling down. It would be inconvenient for a man of such age to kneel down again and again.

wrong!

Chu Yunxi suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked at her father-in-law, then at Yue Yanran, and then thought about Yue Haoran. A doubt arose from the bottom of her heart.

This father-in-law is really too old!

At this moment, what Yue Haoran said at the beginning also echoed in Chu Yunxi's mind, "My old father is over eighty years old, and my sister is ignorant..."

I didn't think anything was wrong when I heard it, but now I see that my daughter is eighteen years old, and my son Yue Haoran is only twenty-four or twenty-five, but his father is eighty years old. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a grandfather, right? Fifteen years ago, my father-in-law was already in his sixties, and Yue was the same age as Yue Haoran is now, and she was a beautiful woman. How could such a woman marry a man who could be her father?

Although it is not impossible, the possibility is indeed small.

Chu Yunxi followed Xiao Mubei into the house, and the maid brought tea. After the Yue father and daughter arrived, housekeeper Ling sent a maid to serve here and be responsible for the daily food, clothing and other expenses of the father and daughter.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi sat down at the main seat together. Xiao Mubei spoke first, "Uncle Yue, we want to learn about Yue Haoran's situation and the incident fifteen years ago."

The father-in-law stood up suddenly, his body swayed, and the housekeeper Ling was so scared that he hurriedly tried to help him. Fortunately, he finally stabilized his body. He anxiously asked: "Prince, is it that the child Haoran, he, he went to find the Gao family?"

Xiao Mubei glanced at Chu Yunxi, and Chu Yunxi nodded. It was impossible to hide this matter from the Yue family, and they would know it sooner or later.

Xiao Mubei did not immediately answer his father-in-law's question, but asked back: "How long have you and Yanran been in the capital?"

My father-in-law sat down slowly, his face full of anxiety. He thought for a long time before saying, "About two months."

"Then what did Yue Haoran say when he picked you up?"

"He said that he has established a firm foothold in the capital now, and he wanted to take me and Yanran here to enjoy life. I didn't want to come at first, as the capital has bad memories for me, but Haoran insisted, so I brought his sister here. I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, he almost lost his life not long after arriving. Yue Haoran originally wanted his father to see him kill his enemy, but he didn't expect to give his weakness to King Jingyuan.

"Has Yue Haoran ever said anything like he wanted revenge before?" This time it was Chu Yunxi who asked the question.

My father-in-law nodded. "He only said it once, which was the day his mother passed away. He said that one day, he would make the Gao family pay for their blood debt with blood. After that, he practiced martial arts very hard. Every time he went up the mountain, he would not come back for a year or two. I could feel that he was holding on to his energy and wanted to avenge his mother."

"Did you try to stop him?"

My father-in-law shook his head and said in annoyance: "He never mentioned this matter again, so I never mentioned it again. In fact, I hate the Gao family too. If it weren't for them, these two children would not have become motherless children, and our family would not have lived such a hard life."

"So you just agreed to let him take revenge, right?" Chu Yunxi's voice was a little cold.

My father-in-law remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

Chu Yunxi felt a surge of anger rising up. Why are there always such parents in this world who cannot distinguish right from wrong? If a child makes a mistake, it must be related to the family education.

Such a foolish father, doesn’t he know that this will ruin his child’s life?

But Chu Yunxi was angry, and there was nothing she could do to an old man over 70 years old. She could only say coldly: "Then you should be satisfied now. Yue Haoran wiped out the entire Gao family. He brought you to the capital just to let you see this result."

My father-in-law's face turned pale all of a sudden, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "He...he wiped out the entire Gao family?"

"Yes, from an eighty-year-old man to an unborn child, twenty-one lives."

The father-in-law was stunned for a long while, and suddenly burst into tears, "What a fool! This child is so foolish. It's not worth it to sacrifice himself for that family."

Chu Yunxi took a deep breath and realized at this moment that it was too late. There is no regret medicine in this world. It is too late for everything.

After her father-in-law calmed down a little, Chu Yunxi said, "Can you tell me about Yue Haoran now?"

"Can he still be saved?" The father-in-law wiped the tears from his face and looked at Xiao Mubei with the last glimmer of hope on his face.

But Xiao Mubei ruthlessly shattered his hopes, "No, he has violated the law, no one can save him."

My father-in-law suddenly became depressed and tears started flowing again.

Chu Yunxi added: "But if you cooperate, perhaps we can let him leave without any regrets."

The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Because the Gao family is not the culprit who killed Yue Haoran's mother. This is all a conspiracy, and the murderer is someone else."

My father-in-law was completely stunned.

After a cup of tea, Chu Yunxi told her father-in-law the whole story. He had no idea how to react. He had been thinking about this matter for so long, but now he realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap. To him, this was like another bolt from the blue.
