Shen Hua's face was full of surprise, and her expression seemed to be asking, how did you know?

Yu Ruyue was helpless. "In fact, not only do I know, but I also warned your eldest brother a long time ago. But he simply didn't believe that his most beloved and trusted sister would poison him. Even when he finally knew the truth, he still helped you. And now, you still want to hide it."

"Shen Hua! What do you think of Shen Chou?"

Even after saying this, Shen Hua still held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to continue quibbling.

Yu Ruyue raised her hand to stop him. "Shen Shu has already confessed everything. I'm only giving you one more chance for your elder brother's sake. If you don't tell the truth, you can go to jail with your brother."

Shen Hua pursed her lips, and finally sat down on the ground dejectedly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "I-I don't want this..."

"My father said that my eldest brother is so outstanding and will definitely become successful in the future. However, he has enemies in Kyoto and they are very powerful. If my eldest brother leaves Hedong Village, not only will he die, but our whole family will die."

"Just like my mother, she passed away in such a painful way."

"I don't want this! Second sister-in-law! I don't want my whole family to leave in such pain!!"

Yu Ruyue frowned. "How could you believe what someone like Shen Laocai said? He was clearly the one who killed your mother!"

Shen Hua was stunned for a moment, then shook her head fiercely, "Impossible! My father may be a bit of a gambler, a bit of a fighter, a bit unreasonable, and a bit evil, but he would never do anything like killing someone."

"I don't believe it! Yu Ruyue! Why do you have to sow discord between our family? My father is clearly doing this for our own good."

Yu Ruyue covered her head and sighed deeply. She had someone stuff her mouth shut and push Shen Hua behind the screen.

The next person to be brought up was Feng Cai'er. As soon as she was brought up, she threw herself at Yu Ruyue's feet with a look of horror on her face. "I'll tell you everything! Please let me go. Don't let them torture me anymore!"

Yu Ruyue nodded. "Alright! Then tell me now. Don't forget that I already have some evidence in my hands, including your adulterer. If you dare to say anything wrong, I will send you straight to jail and ruin all your careful planning."

Feng Cai'er shrank back in fear and quickly confessed everything, "Your mother-in-law was indeed killed by Mr. Shen, but it had nothing to do with me. I used to be a prostitute, and seeing how generous he was, I thought he was some rich young man, so I whispered something in his ear and asked him to redeem me."

"I've said this to many people, but no one has followed through. He was the only one who told me to wait. About a month later, when I thought he was also trying to scam me, he took the money and redeemed me."

"But when I arrived at the door of that little house, I realized he wasn't from a wealthy family, and I started to feel a little regretful!"

"So he said that for my sake, he poisoned his old wife to death."

"They also said he didn't have to work outside, that he would be paid every month, and that his son and daughter-in-law would stay home and farm honestly, and give all the money they earned to us!"

"That's when I was tempted. After that, someone indeed gave him ten taels of silver every month. In addition, there was also a bottle of colorless and odorless poison. I heard that the poison was prepared by the imperial physician in Kyoto."

"Even when I went to see a doctor, he would just say he died from overwork or that he had it in his mother's womb. Then one day, when he was drunk, I asked him if he had used this poison to kill his wife. He smiled and nodded, and said that if I fed his son, whom he had picked up for nothing, once a month and kept him sick, someone would give me money. As for who gave him the money, I have no idea. He never let me follow him."

After she finished telling him everything she knew, she looked at Yu Ruyue cautiously, "If you want to know anything else, go find Shen Shu and Shen Hua. They're both experts at poisoning people!"

"Lao Cai said that even if something really goes wrong, we can just put the blame on Shen Hua. After all, Shen Hua got a lot of money from Lao Cai!"

thump!

Feng Cai'er looked at the screen behind Yu Ruyue with some surprise, "Miss Yu! There's a noise behind you. Could it be a mouse?"

Yu Ruyue nodded. "It should be a big rat. No problem, I'll find someone to kill it later!"

Feng Caier breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yu Ruyue didn't look unusual. "Then... can I leave now?"

Yu Ruyue flatly refused, "No! Tomorrow I want you to repeat what you just said at the county government office."

"But, you should know what you can and cannot say. If something happens to me, you and your daughter will not survive!"

Feng Caier nodded repeatedly. At this point, she could only obey the arrangements.

After Feng Caier was taken away, Shen Hua was dragged back to Yu Ruyue.

At this moment, Shen Hua's face was already covered with tears. She couldn't believe that her gentle and kind mother had finally died at the hands of her father...

She had clearly seen her elder brother fall ill countless times, and his appearance was exactly the same as her mother's, but she didn't think about it in that way. Why was she so stupid?

No wonder!

No wonder her father would always put all the blame on her if something happened, because she was just too stupid...

Yu Ruyue personally stepped forward and took out the object stuffed in her mouth. Then, she pinched her chin and forced her to look at him. "Shen Hua! At this point, you still think you're innocent? That your father is innocent? Aside from your idiotic eldest brother, no one in the Shen family cares about you. No one treats you as a human being. You're just a scapegoat. Do you really want your mother to die in obscurity and for your brother to bear the guilt of patricide forever?!"

Shen Hua looked at the clear and bright eyes of the girl in front of her, and her tears flowed uncontrollably more and more. She shook her head desperately, and kept shaking her head!

All she could think of now was her mother's painful expression before her death and her eldest brother's gentle smile...

After crying for an unknown amount of time, she finally said firmly, "As long as you can save my brother, I will help you no matter what!"

Yu Ruyue released her grip on her chin and said calmly, "It's also to help yourself!"

Finally, Shen Shu couldn't bear it anymore and confessed everything. He just didn't know who the person who gave the money to Shen Laocai was, but he guessed that person must be Shen Chou's biological mother...

Everyone who heard the whole process also understood why Yu Ruyue wanted to capture these people.

Lin Yihao looked hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Shen Laocai is not Shen Chou's biological father, even if he really has done many evil things, that is not an excuse for Shen Chou to kill people."

Yu Ruyue smiled and nodded, "Yes! I know, but what if Shen Chou killed someone in order to save him?"
