"you…"

Jiang Yicheng was furious, but felt powerless to refute. He then hurriedly explained, "Sir, there are only a handful of people in the entire exile group with daggers. The Lu family has the most."

“There must be evidence on their carriage. If you don’t believe me, send people to search it. You’ll definitely find it. Mei’er was stabbed by him.”

Sun Wuyin nodded, and was about to give the order when he saw the carriage curtains being lifted, and Song Qingqian stepped out.

Lu Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly. In a short while, she had completely changed her clothes, so it seemed that everything had been taken care of.

"What do you want, sir? Do you intend to search my carriage?"

Song Qingqian leaned against the carriage and asked casually.

"Is he trying to escape, or is he trying to frame someone?"

Jiang Yicheng, enraged, said, "Sir, they won't let us search them because they're worried their lies will be exposed; they're guilty."

"Sir, you must do justice for Mei'er and make Lu Jingchuan take responsibility for her..."

Sun Wuyin snorted coldly and looked at Song Qingqian, asking, "Since you didn't do it, why are you two so obstructing us?"

"Men, search!"

"Wait!"

Song Qingqian shouted and jumped off the carriage: "You can search us if you want, but if you find nothing, shouldn't the officials give us an explanation?"

"I, Song Qingqian, have always been vengeful and will not suffer in silence."

"What do you want?"

Sun Wuyin spoke calmly.

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingqian smiled and said, "I'm a reasonable person, and I don't necessarily want Jiang Yicheng dead. Since he loves to frame others so much, let's cut out his tongue so he won't have anything to say anymore."

"Sir, what do you think?"

Song Qingqian gave a bewitching smile, and Jiang Yicheng's body trembled uncontrollably. He had witnessed this woman's ruthlessness before...

Seeing that no one answered, Song Qingqian continued with a smile: "So? Does the official still want to search? If not, let's leave. Don't disturb our rest. After all, it's getting late, and we're really tired after traveling all day."

The soldiers standing behind Sun Wuyin couldn't help but twitch their lips. How could they be tired after sitting in the carriage all day?

Song Qingqian was much more comfortable than these soldiers who didn't even have horses. If anyone was tired, it was definitely the young couple who had been working too hard...

Sun Wuyin kicked Jiang Yicheng, who was standing motionless beside her, and said:

"Are you still going to search or not? If you don't, drag me out and whip me twenty times. Are you trying to make a fool of me like a monkey?"

Jiang Yicheng hesitated, but Mei'er told him that she really wanted to get together with Lu Jingchuan, so it must be Lu Jingchuan.

Besides, Song Qingqian's obstruction was definitely just to scare him, afraid that they would find him. He couldn't panic or lose his composure.

Jiang Yicheng steeled his resolve and said, "Search!"

"Alright, please go ahead!"

As Song Qingqian spoke, she voluntarily stepped aside, took out a dagger in her hand, and twirled it around, making Jiang Yicheng's heart skip a beat.

"Sir...sir, that's the murder weapon!"

Song Qingqian nodded: "Of course it's the murder weapon, because I'm going to cut off your tongue myself in front of all the soldiers later!"

Jiang Yicheng's legs trembled and he almost knelt down. He looked pleadingly at Sun Wuyin, who was tightly clutching his robe:

"Sir, you must seek justice for Mei'er. It was that knife that Lu Jingchuan used to stab Mei'er, and now she's showing it off like that. It's really too much."

Song Qingqian pressed on, asking each word carefully: "Jiang Yicheng, are you so sure it was Lu Jingchuan who did it? Did you see it with your own eyes? He's still disabled. There's no reason you wouldn't catch him red-handed if you found out."

"Hearsay is not to be trusted. I might as well say that Jiang Meier's wound was inflicted by soldiers, that someone coveted her beauty and wanted to take advantage of her, but Jiang Meier refused to yield even unto death, so..."

"No...impossible!"

Jiang Yicheng grabbed Sun Wuyin tightly and pleaded, "Sir..."

Shut up!

Sun Wuyin kicked him away in disgust, then scrutinized Song Qingqian from head to toe with a probing look. What a pity, she was so easily won over by Lu Jingchuan. He really couldn't wait...

"My lord, no bloodstained clothes or dagger were found in the carriage!"

Xiao Zhuozi quickly reported this.

"No? It's impossible that they didn't! They must have hidden it!"

Jiang Yicheng was completely panicked. It was impossible that there was no such thing; Mei'er wouldn't lie to him.

Sun Wuyin's face instantly turned cold, and he pressed, "Are you sure?"

Xiao Zhuozi nodded: "Sir, it's absolutely true. I personally inspected all the clothes in the carriage, there's no mistake."

Sun Wuyin thought for a moment and nodded: "Since there is nothing there, then it must be a misunderstanding. Take your men and search elsewhere!"

Seeing that Sun Wuyin was about to leave, Jiang Yicheng quickly and quietly followed, but was stopped by Lu Jingchuan with his cane.

"You think you can come and go as you please, search as you please? Now that you can't find anything, you want to run away? Do you think I, Lu Jingchuan, am someone you can manipulate at will?"

"What do you want?"

Sun Wuyin stood facing him, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Lu Jingchuan's gaze sharpened, and a sinister smile curled his lips as he spoke:

"As my wife said, of course we must seek revenge!"

Song Qingqian smiled knowingly and tossed the dagger in her hand toward Lu Jingchuan, reminding him:

"If you're going to pull them out, pull them out completely. You used to be a war god general, and now you've been bullied right here. Aren't you ashamed?"

Amidst the crowd's dodging, Lu Jingchuan steadily raised his hand and caught the dagger. He nodded and gave a self-deprecating smile:

"That's really embarrassing!"

When Jiang Yicheng saw the dagger in Lu Jingchuan's hand, he trembled like a leaf.

"Sir, help...help me..."

Just as Sun Wuyin was about to say something, a mouthful of hot blood suddenly spurted from his face, and he froze on the spot, unable to move.

"what…"

Jiang Yicheng cried out in alarm and fainted completely.

Lu Jingchuan swiftly swung his knife, and Jiang Yicheng's tongue flew out to everyone's astonishment, so fast that Jiang Yicheng had no chance to react.

"Alright, you can get out of here now!"

Lu Jingchuan wiped the bloodstains off the dagger and carefully put it away, his calm and composed expression showing no trace of the ruthlessness he had just displayed.

After realizing what had happened, Xiao Zhuozi hurriedly grabbed his handkerchief to wipe the blood from Sun Wuyin's face, his hands still trembling uncontrollably...

"My Lord..."

"Back!"

Sun Wuyin glanced at Lu Jingchuan and uttered a single word: The decisive and ruthless Lu Jingchuan is back…

The familiar feeling made Sun Wuyin feel somewhat dazed, but even more so, she was terrified.

"What about Jiang Yicheng?"

"Throw him back to the Jiang family! He asked for it, he deserved it!"

Xiao Zhuozi nodded, then continued to ask in a low voice, "Sir, should we continue investigating Jiang Meier's matter?"

"Let whoever wants to investigate do it, I don't care anymore!"

Sun Wuyin cursed under his breath and, supported by Xiao Zhuozi, returned to his room. Since Lu Jingchuan had already enjoyed a night of passion, he couldn't just sit idly by. After a moment of calm, he gave the order:

"Go, bring that illegitimate daughter of the Yu family here. I need to calm my nerves!"

Yu Ke'er is the sweetheart of the second son of the Lu family, so he has to disgust the Lu family members to feel at ease.
