Chapter 7 - It's okay to lose face, but not to lose face.
Bai Yue became more and more certain, “Li Jie was able to strangle Master Wei with his bare hands, and you had the opportunity to poison him. He’s very close to you, he could have taken Wei Chen without any resistance, every single thing fits, it can’t be such a coincidence.”
Jian Yu interjected, “But why would she want to kill Master Wei, what good would it do her if Master Wei died?
A concubine is originally dependent on her husband’s existence. Lord Wei died, the main house and children naturally have dependence, as a concubine is not good to say. Originally, Lin Ruowan had a child, and for the sake of the child, the Wei family would also manage to feed and clothe her for the rest of her life, but if the child was lost, she would really have nothing to rely on.
“There is only one option.” Bai Yue felt that he had found the key to the problem in Lin Rouwan’s increasingly ugly face.
“What?”
“In that case, it would be better for Lord Wei to be dead than alive.”
Lin Ruowan’s face was as white as a sheet of paper.
“Exposed.” Bai Yue simply said “Lord Wei is dead and the child is lost. The worst thing that could happen to Lin Ruowan is to be kicked out of the house. And if Lord Wei lives, it will be worse than that …… because Lord Wei has discovered their secret.”
In the great mansion, traditionally, the mother is the most important person, and there is only one situation where the child can’t be a bargaining chip and can’t bring any benefits to the mother.
Only Wei Chen, who wasn’t Lord Wei’s child.
Jian Yu stood up and said with a stern voice, “Someone is coming.
At this time, Liang Meng ran in from the outside, “The child has been found, found!”
Lin Ruowan’s face turned ashen in an instant.
“The child has been found, why are you trembling?” Bai Yue couldn’t help but say, “Shouldn’t you be ecstatic to welcome him home?”
Lin Ruowan couldn’t help but tremble and immediately sat down on the chair.
Jian Yu said, “Where was the child found?”
“At the famous wonton stand in Santiao Alley.” Liang Meng couldn’t help but look at Bai Yue and say, “Ms. Bai is a god, how did you know that the murderer would take the child to eat chicken soup wontons? After kidnapping the child from the Wei Mansion, it’s amazing that he didn’t run away in a hurry.”
Bai Yue smiled, “Because the nanny said that the child’s favorite food is chicken soup wontons, and he was a little sick today, he didn’t eat his lunch, and now it’s already afternoon, he must be hungry. A person who loves the child very much and is eager to get the child’s approval will definitely try to fulfill the child’s request.”
“Yes, Li Jie is really good to the child, and he was still trying his best to protect the child when he was captured.” Liang Meng spat out, “If people who don’t know look at it, they’ll think it’s his son.”
One sentence revealed the shocking secret.
After Liang Meng finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Scared by the silence, Liang Meng opened his mouth and realized what he had said.
Fortunately, Bai Yue immediately spoke in solidarity with him.
“I feel the same way.” Bai Yue said, “And it’s the only secret I can think of that Mr. Wei can’t find out about. And if it was just a personal matter, Li Jie wouldn’t have poured his heart out to the child so much.”
Lin Rouwan finally closed her eyes in despair.
Li Jie was escorted back in chains, the three-year-old child was held and followed to the side, he didn’t quite understand what was happening yet, but he also knew that it wasn’t good, his eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at Li Jie being escorted in, Jian Yu did not interrogate, but turned her head and ordered, “Go and invite Lord Zhou here, and hand this over to Lord Zhou. Let our men take care of the team.”
“You’re leaving?” Bai Yue couldn’t help but wonder, “This case, aren’t you going to solve it?”
“This case is basically off the table, and besides, do you think I’m here to investigate?”
“No?”
Jian Yu snorted coldly, “I’m here to find you.”
“……”
“Go back to the mansion.” Jian Yu threw off his sleeves and walked forward.
Liang Meng stood in the back and saw that he had taken a few steps out, he came up beside Bai Yue and whispered, “Madam said that if you were to live on the streets, she would drive the young master out to sleep on the streets as well.
Bai Yue was stunned, how could there be such a fairy woman?
The Wei Mansion was not too far from the Jian Mansion, so there was no need to ride a horse or prepare a carriage, and Bai Yue followed Jian Yu through the streets, looking at everything with the expression of a mountain man entering a city.
Liang Meng is a smart boy, very thoughtful to follow her side, the line of sight she stayed for more than three seconds to buy all the things, a variety of colorful carry a pile, so that Jian Yu’s face is getting darker and darker,…….
Liang Meng finally couldn’t bear to watch and went over to her and said softly, “Young master, they are all knickknacks, not expensive.”
Jian Yu took a deep breath, “Do I lack money?”
“No. Then young master is ……”
Jian Yu squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, “Shame on you for not having seen the world.
Shame on you? Bai Yue heard him, looked at him and corrected, “This is called shame, it is only when I am lacking that it is called shame.
“……”
Jian Yu took a deep breath, it was okay to lose face, but not to lose face. He didn’t want to sleep on the street.
The Jian Mansion received the news of finding Bai Yue a step earlier, the door was open, the little girl at the door was looking forward to it, and the first moment she saw Bai Yue, she rushed over and took her arm lovingly.
“Miss Bai, you can be considered back.” The little girl rambled, “In the past few days, the master and wife, the old master were all worried ……”
Bai Yue’s mind flew to analyze, the old master and his wife, the old master was Jian Yu’s father, mother, and grandfather. These three people were welcoming her, and they should also be the people in the mansion who had the right to say something.
When she first came here, she didn’t know anything, so she could only be careful with every step, be cautious with everything, act crazy when necessary, and fall and pretend to have amnesia when she encountered a hurdle that he really couldn’t get over.
Bai Yue set the general direction of survival in her heart and bravely stepped into the door.
Bai Yue was brought into the inner house by her maid Xiaoxin to meet Jian Yu’s mother.
Although the son is so big, but Mrs. Jian is very well maintained, at first glance is more than thirty, carefully look at the corners of the eyes of fine wrinkles, but also in her early forties.
As soon as she saw Bai Yue, Mrs. Jian hugged her, looked her up and down, grabbed her wrists, which were reddened today, and was very worried: “Yue’er went out for these few days, but she suffered a lot.
“No, nothing.” Bai Yue was so warmly asked by Mrs. Jian that her heart was a little sour.
She is a forensic scientist, when she works, she is cold and unfeeling, but in private, she is just a poor person who is far away from her hometown and may not be able to return for the rest of her life.
“It’s still okay, your eyes are red.” Mrs. Jian took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Bai Yue’s eyes, “Your parents are gone now, and the Jian house is your home. When your three years of filial piety is over, we will be alive and vibrant to do the wedding, Mo Yi, if he dare to be bad to you, I will kill him.”
What a tough and gentle loving mother, Bai Yue speechless.
“This marriage ……” Bai Yue tried to say, “This marriage I always feel is wrong.”
