Chapter 60

In order to confirm this suspicion of Qu Liujing, Yan Shi decided to stop beating around the bush and ask Zheng Lin himself. He had been in Zheng's house for two days now, and the whole house was in a pandemonium, so he didn't want to stay any longer, so let's get this over with.

Qu Liujing first went out to check on the movements of Madam Zheng and Xu's mother and daughter, to make sure they were not in Zheng Lin's house before they went. After a short time, Qu Liujing returned and indicated to Yan Shi that he could go to Zheng Lin. "The three of them are arguing in Madam Zheng's room, and it seems that the three of them won't be finished for a while, so let's go to Zheng Lin."

Zheng Lin's room had a few little maids waiting for him, so Qu Liujing found an excuse to send them away. Then he took out another medicine bottle, opened the cap and put it under Zheng Lin's nose.

Zheng Lin's eyes were still dazed when he woke up, and he pretended not to understand when Qu Liujing called him gently.

Qu Liujing gave a snicker "Master Zheng, don't pretend I know you understand me now." At the beginning, Zheng Lin's expression was indeed a little confused due to the length of time he had been unconscious. However, after Qu Liujing's treatment in the past two days, he had gotten better and the poison had been mostly resolved.

But when Qu Liujing said this, Zheng Lin still pretended not to understand, and Qu Liujing took out the medicine bottle he found from him and waved it in front of his eyes, "You should know this medicine bottle, right?"

There was a flash of surprise in Zheng Lin's eyes.

Yan Shi said, "The young master is the son of you and Miss Xu."

"You, what are you talking about?" Zheng Lin suddenly spoke out when he heard this, and no longer pretended to go on, but after saying this, he felt that he had lost his tongue, and quickly added, "The young master is my son with Madam."

Yan Shi ignored his answer and went on to say, "Xu, Miss Xu's mother, is also related to you, I believe.

This was what Yan Shi had surmised, Xu's debauchery was so bad that she could not control herself when she saw them, let alone Zheng Lin.

"Master Zheng, just say it, we all know, and we might be able to help you." Qu Liujing coaxed from the side.

"Master Zheng," Yan Shi added, "the poisoning of the scholar is not a trivial matter, we have reported it to the officials, and Madam Zheng has already admitted that she has done it."

"No, not her, not her!"

Perhaps it was because the secret buried in his heart had been discovered by others, and because he had just recovered from a long illness, his heart was a bit fragile and he was anxious to find a vent, so Zheng Lin told the whole story.

The previous events were already known to Yan Shi, Xu had given birth to Xu Yuanjiao and abandoned her, Xu Yuanjiao was raised by Madam Zheng and Zheng Lin since she was young.

As Xu Yuanjiao grew older, she had somehow started to think of her uncle in a way she shouldn't have. She had hinted at Zheng Lin many times, but Zheng Lin only treated her as his own daughter, thinking that she was pampering him and did not take it to heart. Later on, Madam Zheng once said that she would go to a temple outside the city to chant sutras, and she was supposed to take the eldest young master and Xu Yuanjiao with her, but on the day she left, Xu Yuanjiao excused herself from going because she was sick.

Madam Zheng had planned to stay overnight at the monastery for the chanting, so this gave Xu Yuanjiao a chance. That night, Xu Yuanjiao prepared a banquet of food and wine and ate it with Zheng Lin. Zheng Lin got drunk and it is self-evident what happened further on.

Zheng Lin was shocked and scared when he woke up, but there was nothing he could do about it. But he did not dare to tell anyone about it, and later, Xu Yuanjiao used it as blackmail to have sex with him several times.

Zheng Lin's voice was slightly choked up when he said, "Actually, I knew it was Yuan Jiao that night, so where did all the drunkenness come from? In the end, I was still blinded by beauty."

Later, Xu Yuanjiao's belly grew bigger every day and the two could no longer hide their affair. If Xu Yuanjiao had been a concubine, no one would have had anything to say, but she was Madam Zheng's niece. Besides, Zheng Lin has a reputation for merit, so he must not take Xu Yuanjiao as his concubine, as she will only become a stain on his career.

When Madam Zheng learns of this, she faints, but has no choice but to send Xu Yuanjiao out of the house to conceal this scandal for Zheng Lin, and from then on she stays in the Buddha Hall and rarely comes out.

The youngest was also angry with his father and left home in a fit of rage.

After Xu Yuanjiao gave birth, she was taken back to the Zheng residence. Because Madam Zheng was closed, Xu Yuanjiao and Zheng Lin became a couple again behind their backs. It was not until Xu's return more than four months ago that the delicate balance was broken again.

Normally, abandoned children would resent their biological parents. But Xu Yuanjiao does not. She is overjoyed at Xu's arrival, feeling that her long-lost mother's love has finally returned, and tells her all about her time in Zheng's house.

Xu is a watery woman who falls in love with Zheng Lin the moment she sees him. Xu then discusses with Xu Yuanjiao that she wants to live with Zheng Lin and never leave the house again.

Xu Yuanjiao agrees, and Xu goes to Zheng Lin to talk about it. Zheng Lin, who had lost his sense of propriety and decency long ago, found it again and was determined not to agree.

Later, when the two mothers and daughters came to the house in turn, Zheng Lin felt an unprecedented sense of remorse.

"I wanted to die at that time, but I, but I still wanted to see Heng'er one more time." Heng'er is the youngest, "but I couldn't go on, so I asked someone for this poison. It is said that after taking it one does not die, but one does not know anything anymore. That way, I would never face these things again, but I wasn't dead, so I wanted to hang on to my breath and stay until Heng'er came back, even though I wouldn't be able to see him even if he did."

At this point it was all clear, and when Xu later saw that Zheng Lin was ill, she couldn't hold back her loneliness, so she moved out of Zheng's house to have fun on her own again, coming back only occasionally to visit.

As soon as Zheng Lin finished speaking, he heard a servant outside shouting, "It's not good! It's not good! Madam is in trouble! Madam is in trouble!"

Yan Shi and the others looked at each other, and Yan Shi hurriedly took Hua Ling's hand and walked outside.

Zheng Lin also heard it and rolled out of bed and headed outside.

When they reached Madam Zheng's room, they saw Madam Zheng lying on the floor with a dagger stuck in her body and crimson blood flowing all over the floor. When Xu Yuanjiao saw Qu Liujing come in, it was as if she had seen a saviour. Xu Yuanjiao was busy pulling at Qu Liujiu's hand, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I... I... Mr. Qu, please help my aunt."

Qu Liujing squatted on the ground and examined Mrs. Zheng's condition, which was somewhat appalling.

At this time, Zheng Lin also stumbled in with the help of his subordinates, once he saw Madam Zheng who had fallen in a pool of blood, and saw Xu's mother and daughter who were shivering and hugging each other, he was furious. And then, little by little, he knelt beside Madam Zheng.

Xu Yuanjiao was frightened by this sudden drink and shivered as she told the story.

It turned out that when Xu saw that Zheng Lin was getting better, she had second thoughts about living with Zheng Lin. Xu Yuanjiao's conscience was still fresh, and she felt that she had gotten to where she was today because of Madam Zheng, but she had never been able to do so. She then discusses with her mother to persuade Mrs. Zheng, as they are related by blood and serve the same man, so that the water will not flow to the outside world.

She felt that her life was ruined and that she had already given in, but why did she not let her go? She had already given in, so why didn't she let her go? In the midst of the argument, Madame Zheng picked up a pair of shears and stabbed them at Xu's mother and daughter. As the three of them fought over the shears, the shears were accidentally inserted into Madam Zheng's body by Xu Yuanjiao.

In fact, Zheng Lin still had deep feelings for Madam Zheng, and he felt even more guilty for her since he had met with Xu Yuanjiao. After hearing Xu Yuanjiao's words, he was angry and hated himself, hating himself for not being able to control himself in the first place. Now his eldest son, whom he loved most, had not returned home and his life was unknown. He feels that his life has been ruined.

Perhaps the air in the room was too oppressive, and the young master, who had been held by the maid, suddenly burst into tears. He stood up from his place, snatched the young master from the maid's arms, lifted him high above his head and then dropped him hard.

"This sinful child should never have lived in this world!" Zheng Lin's eyes were scarlet underneath, as if he was a shura coming from hell.

The young master fell to the ground with only a scream before he lost his breath, it all happened so fast that when everyone reacted

The young master had already been thrown to the ground when everyone reacted.

Yan Shi immediately shielded Hua Ling's eyes from the bloody scene.

Qu Liu Gobao was busy looking at the young master again and finally shook his head "It's hopeless."

Xu Yuanjiao was even more dumbfounded, but suddenly she reacted again and went to Zheng Lin, crying and asking him to pay for his life.

There was so much confusion in the room that Yan Shi brought Hua Ling out.

"Don't be afraid." Yan Shi gathered Hua Ling in his arms and comforted him softly, just now he had struck quickly, so the young princess should not have seen the tragic state of the young master being thrown to the ground.

He left a note for Qu Liujing and took Hua Ling back to the inn.

Yan Shi spent the afternoon telling Hua Ling about the new little story books he had bought to distract him. These little story books were carefully chosen by Yan Shi and all had sweet endings.

Hua Ling listened happily all afternoon and seemed to be in good shape, so Yan Shi relaxed a little.

It was almost time for dinner when Qu Liujing returned.

He asked Qu to check Hua Ling's pulse to see if he was frightened, and asked him to leave a bottle of pills to treat the fright.

The corners of Qu Liujing's mouth twitched, this prince really doesn't know how scary your princess can be when he kills people.

After taking care of Hua Ling's affairs, Qu Liujing went over the Zheng family's affairs.

The Zheng wife was not seriously hurt, she had only lost too much blood and would be fine after a few days of recuperation. The mother and daughter of the Xu family fought with Zheng Lin, and Xu Yuanjiao, after the shock of her son's death by fall, was even more mentally overwhelmed and committed suicide by jumping into the well.

Xu was also upset by this series of events and had a mental breakdown, so she ran out of the Zheng house in a frenzy.

As for Zheng Lin...

Yan Shi said, "Report it to the police."

I JUST WANT TO SAY, ZHENG LIN HOUSE IS A DRAMA ON ITS OWN
