The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"Oh?"

Hearing Liu Chengan's words, Meng Xiang narrowed his eyes. Now he had begun to believe what the two people said.

Could this woman really be Chu Yunyue?

And the Chu family sent people to hunt her down in order to silence her?

Meng Xiang learned about Meng Haowen's murder last night. He went to the Dali Temple in the middle of the night and interrogated the assassins brought back by Liu Cheng'an all night. The assassins could not withstand the torture of the Dali Temple and confessed everything. They said that they were assassins raised by Madam Chu and were ordered to kill Manager Yun of Yanlou.

As for why they killed Meng Haowen, it was not intentional. They themselves didn't even know who killed Meng Haowen during the chaos last night.

After interrogating the assassins all night, Meng Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood and seemed to have aged a lot.

His son is gone.

The murderers claimed that it was all an accident. It was his son who was drunk and walked into their fight, causing him to be innocently implicated...

This is ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!

Meng Xiang couldn't believe such a coincidence, so he immediately summoned the best coroner from the Dali Temple to perform an autopsy on Meng Haowen. The results of the autopsy matched up perfectly with what the assassins had said. Even the cuts and wounds on Meng Haowen's body matched the weapons the assassins had used at the scene.

"Master Meng, I have been wronged, a great wrong!"

At this moment, Yun Yue suddenly knelt down in front of Meng Xiang, her eyes red and her face full of sorrow. "The Chu family treated me like a piece of trash because I fell ill when I was young. They thought I was a stain on the Chu family, so they framed me again and again and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I was not destined to die. I escaped from the tiger's mouth several times. On the way to escape, I turned a disaster into a blessing. The illness was cured and I regained my consciousness. The Chu family is powerful. I wanted to stay away from them and live a peaceful life with a different identity. Who would have thought that they would be so relentless and want to kill me, even implicating the lives of innocent people again and again! Lord Meng, you are an important official in the court and one of the victims of this matter. I beg you to help me! Help the lives of the innocent people who died in vain!"

Yun Yue's voice was sad and her words were powerful!

Innocent people died...

Isn’t that his son Meng Xiang!

After hearing Yun Yue's words, huge waves gradually surged in Meng Xiang's turbid eyes, and then slowly turned into an ice sea.

Yes, his eldest son is gone, someone should be held responsible for this, and someone should be buried with his son!

"This matter concerns human life, and also the reputation of the Minister of Rites and his family. Miss Yun, are you willing to accompany me to file a complaint before the Emperor?"

Meng Xiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly lowered his eyes to look at Yun Yue and asked, "It's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance. Tomorrow, the first day of the lunar month, is the day of the grand court meeting. I can take you to the emperor to perform the ritual!"

"I am willing!"

Yun Yue agreed to Meng Xiang's proposal without hesitation. Liu Cheng'an, standing beside her, lowered his eyes silently. Tomorrow's grand court meeting...

It seems he needs to prepare too.

The news of what happened in the Dali Temple was blocked by Meng Xiang, and even the news of Meng Haowen's death was suppressed by Meng Xiang.

He couldn't let his son die in vain. Besides...

There is something strange about this matter. Meng Xiang would not believe so easily that Meng Haowen died in an accident.

He will continue investigating and collecting evidence today to see if there will be any other discoveries or clues.

The seemingly peaceful capital city is actually experiencing turbulent undercurrents.

Chu Mansion.

Chu Yunfei didn't sleep all night again. She was tormented by nightmares and looked very haggard.

"Miss, have some calming soup." Lanxiang brought a bowl of calming soup to Chu Yunfei. This was specially prepared by the lady in the kitchen for the second young lady.

"I can't drink it."

Chu Yunfei shook her head with a haggard look on her face, then looked at Lanxiang and asked nervously, "Is there any new news from my mother?"

Mother said she had a way to deal with Chu Yunyue, but did she succeed? Chu Yunfei was very uneasy.

"The lady didn't send any message."

Lanxiang shook her head.

"How could this happen?" Chu Yunfei bit her lips uneasily, crossed her hands, and moved her fingers constantly.

She was more irritable and uneasy today than she had been yesterday.

or……

Or should I tell Dad about it and let him think of a solution?

Chu Yunfei felt a little uneasy. At this moment, she didn't know that those who do evil will eventually perish, and the Chu family was about to face a disaster.

In Baxingfang, Liu Chengan and Yun Yue walked side by side. Seeing that they were about to reach Yanlou, Liu Chengan slowed down his pace.

"Miss Yun, I will also attend court tomorrow. If you have any grievances, please speak to His Majesty boldly. His Majesty is wise and will definitely make a decision for you."

Liu Cheng'an reminded Yunyue that in his opinion, Emperor Jianping was a wise ruler. Even if the Chu family really made a big mistake, it had nothing to do with Yunyue and should not implicate her.

If she is really implicated...

He would also find a way to protect her.

"Master Liu, thank you." Yun Yue stopped and looked at Liu Cheng'an beside her. "The karma between you and me will be completely severed after tomorrow, and your engagement with the Chu family will no longer be valid. Master Liu, you are a good person. No matter what the outcome of tomorrow's events is, I wish you a bright future and hope you will find a good match soon."

Yun Yue spoke very seriously and also gave Liu Cheng'an a good guy card.

After the Chu family affairs were settled, she could completely bid farewell to the past and concentrate on running Yanlou. From then on, the sky would be high and the sea would be vast... and she could live freely.

Hearing Yun Yue's words, Liu Cheng'an was slightly startled. For some reason, he suddenly felt extremely lost in his heart. He wanted to say something else, but Yun Yue had already spoken again: "I'm here. Lord Liu, please go back. We'll see you tomorrow."

Having said that, Yun Yue turned around and left without any reluctance, her back looking very free and easy.

Liu Chengan stood quietly, watching Yunyue enter the gate of Yanlou. He had to admit that he had a good impression of Yunyue now, but unfortunately...

The other party seemed to have no feelings for him and even wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Liu Chengan touched his nose. Was he really that bad? He shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it. He walked back home slowly.

**

In the Liu Mansion.

"Cheng'an, you're finally back."

As soon as Liu Cheng'an entered the house, he was caught by his sister Liu Ruyue: "Daddy has been looking for you, go to the study and take a look."

"Ah."

Liu Cheng'an nodded and came to the study in the backyard of the Liu Mansion alone. Although the Liu family was a military family, they also attached great importance to academic studies and advocated Confucianism.

Liu Cheng'an has been familiar with various books and military books since he was a child, and is a man of both civil and military talents.

"Daddy."

Liu Cheng'an knocked on the door of the study and slowly pushed it open and walked in.

The Liu family's study is simply decorated, but the number of books is no less than that of other families. Liu Qizhan even likes to collect all kinds of miscellaneous books. Even books on alchemy can be found in his study.

"You're back?"

At this time, Liu Qizhang was reading a military book in his study. When he saw Liu Cheng'an, he immediately put down the book and asked, "I heard that you went to the Dali Temple again today. What happened last night?"
