Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild - Chapter 42
Chapter 42: The Trial (3)
It was her!
Lu Sheng was shocked.
This lady was the one who had said that she did not have any spare money on her. She had given her six coins and an apple.
“It’s Miss Yu. Why is she here?”
Everyone was whispering.
Although Yu Qian was only a government official, he had a huge family background.
Even the county magistrate had to show the Yu family some respect, let alone others.
Hence, although everyone was doubtful when they saw Yu Mingyue, they obediently made way for her.
Lu Sheng discovered that Deng Rumeng, who was initially anxious, stopped when she saw Yu Mingyue. She stared at her in a daze.
After a while, she floated to Yu Mingyue’s side and said urgently, “Mingyue, you have to help me save Brother Ah Ming!”
Having seemingly sensed something, Yu Mingyue glanced to the side and frowned.
“Miss Yu, why did you disturb the court?”
Zhao Wei suddenly stood up and questioned with narrowed eyes.
Ignoring him, Yu Mingyue said directly to the county magistrate, “Lord, Ah Ming is not the murderer.”
“What do you mean?” the county magistrate asked in a stern voice.
“After Ah Ming was kicked out of the Deng family, Ru Meng asked me to find someone to escort him to my manor. He only knew about the Deng family’s demise a few days ago.”
“What evidence do you have for saying that?”
Before the county magistrate spoke, Zhao Wei had already retorted impatiently.
When Yu Mingyue heard his words, she waved to a servant and gestured for her to present the items.
The country magistrate glanced at the item. It was a letter with beautiful handwriting. One could tell that it was written by his daughter.
The advisor took a look and nodded, indicating that it was Deng Rumeng’s handwriting.
“Lord, you can’t believe that Ah Ming is not the murderer with just a letter!” Zhao Wei hurriedly bowed and said, “Who knows if this servant has some unspeakable relationship with Miss Yu?”
“You…”
Yu Mingyue, who was now blamed, became furious.
She knelt and said to the county magistrate, “Lord, there’s nothing between me and Ah Ming. Everyone in the Yu family’s manor can attest to that!”
Zhao Wei smiled coldly. “Everyone in the manor belongs to the Yu family. Who knows if you’ve long colluded with one another?”
“You’re slandering me!”
Yu Mingyue was so angry that her face turned red.
Looking at Zhao Wei’s smug face, she wished she could pounce on him and give him a good beating.
Lu Sheng crooked her finger at Deng Rumeng, who was wandering around.
Deng Rumeng’s eyes brightened, and she hurried over to ask, “Taoist Nun, do you have a plan?”
Lu Sheng nodded. She took out a yellow mini talisman and flicked it onto Zhao Wei’s back. Then, she pasted the other talisman on Deng Rumeng’s soul.
She explained in a low voice, “This is the Yin-Yang Talisman. As long as two talismans are each pasted on a soul and a person, the person can communicate with the soul and even see it.”
Lu Sheng had initially used this method to let Mdm He and Lu Dahua communicate.
Deng Rumeng was elated when she heard that.
“Zhao Wei, you killed my family and you even dare to slander Brother Ah Ming and Mingyue? You will die a horrible death!”
Zhao Wei could only feel a chilly breeze blowing in. The biting cold made him shiver.
He scanned his surroundings and saw that everyone was very calm. Just as he frowned, a familiar voice rang beside his ears.
His face paled and he looked around fearfully.
He saw a face covered in blood tears in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment before covering his head and hiding behind his men. He yelled, “Ghost!”
Everyone looked at him in confusion. They did not understand why he suddenly became crazy.
