Chapter 396 Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist

Su Jiuyue smiled faintly and shook her head at Lin Qingqing.

"secret."

She just quietly told Madam Xie that the thief she was talking about was the son of the city's Tongzhi.

And what the consequences of slandering the son of an imperial official are.

Yu Ge'er would never do anything sneaky.

She bet that Madam Xie would not dare to bet whether Brother Yu was the son of the Tongzhi.

It is said that the people do not fight against the officials.

Madam Xie, you haven't lost any money, so why take the gamble?

But this is not the place to talk.

She still hasn't figured out why Yu Ge'er and Qin Xuan appeared in He County.

Why did Wu Yu and Aunt Liu let Qin Xuan bring Brother Yu here?

And Qin Xuan's condition seemed a little off no matter how you looked at her.

Su Jiuyue winked at Lin Qingqing.

"Come on, let's go back to the room and talk if you have anything to say."

Considering Qin Xuan's appearance, Su Jiuyue asked for another room and paid for the meal.

Then he ordered a few more dishes and asked the waiter to bring them upstairs.

He and Lin Qingqing supported the expressionless Qin Xuan upstairs.

Yu Ge'er got up and followed the few people closely.

The door is closed.

Lin Qingqing put her hands on her waist and stared at Qin Xuan fiercely.

"Hey, tell me the truth, why did you bring Brother Yu to He County?"

"Do you want to use Brother Yu to restrain Aunt Liu?"

Lin Qingqing had a fierce expression on her face. She didn't care that Qin Xuan was in a state of disarray at the moment, and she just started questioning her.

Qin Xuan stared at the ground blankly, not looking like she was going to answer.

As if he was frightened.

Lin Qingqing doesn't buy it.

"Don't think you can get away with pretending to be stupid! Put away your little tricks!"

"If you don't tell the truth today, I will hand you over to Madam Xie and have her take you to the government!"

"You think I'm Wu Yuna..."

Lin Qingqing was about to say something arrogant when Su Jiuyue kicked her on the heel!

His eyes moved downward.

How dare you talk about your father to his face when his son is still here?

Lin Qingqing stuck out her tongue.

I was so excited that I almost lost control...

Yu Ge pursed his lips but said nothing in the end.

Lin Qingqing cleared her throat and continued to stare at Qin Xuan fiercely.

"I'm telling you, you're useless to us by pretending to be pitiful and weak!"

"Be honest! Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist! Speak!"

Su Jiuyue secretly smacked her lips.

When Qingqing is doing serious work, it seems quite serious.

Look, didn’t this scare Qin Xuan?

Qin Xuan shrank back, her eyes filled with fear.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Don't report it to the police, don't..."

"I said..."

The fear in Qin Xuan's eyes grew instead of diminishing. She looked timidly at Yu Ge'er and then at Su Jiuyue.

"Qingqing, Brother Yu was also frightened today. Take him to eat something, take a bath and have a good sleep."

Su Jiuyue understood Qin Xuan's look.

Said to Lin Qingqing indifferently.

Lin Qingqing really felt sorry for Yu Ge'er. It was really uncomfortable to see the little guy so absent-minded.

He pulled him over and responded to Su Jiuyue.

"Go ahead."

After Lin Qingqing and Yu Ge'er left, Su Jiuyue looked at Qin Xuan and spoke coldly.

She never had a good face towards the third party.

Qin Xuan also knew that she was not welcomed, so she bit her lip.

Start telling the story.

"A few days ago, Master Yu...Mr. Wu found an injured girl at my doorstep..."

"The girl was badly injured, with her tendons and veins broken. We called in many doctors, but they all said she couldn't be saved."

"Lord Wu cares about her very much and stays by her side at night..."

Having said that, Qin Xuan pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly, as if mocking her own ridiculousness.

Su Jiuyue was in no mood to watch her perform such a sad drama.

"continue."

"At that time, the woman suddenly woke up and said something to Lord Wu."

"The next day, Lord Wu brought a boy into the girl's room..."

Having said this, Qin Xuan suddenly began to tremble violently.

It seemed as if he was thinking of some horrific scene.

I couldn't help but dry heave.

Su Jiuyue looked at her and it was clear that she was stimulated! She was definitely not acting!

"What's wrong with you? Go on, what next?"

"Then……"

"Then……"

Qin Xuan calmed down for a while and her emotions became much more stable.

Then he began to continue tremblingly.

"Then Wu Yu dragged out a... a... dried corpse from his room..."

Qin Xuan seemed very reluctant to recall this memory, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

Su Jiuyue frowned.

"You mean the mummy?"

"That's right! It's a dried corpse!"

Qin Xuan bit her lip and forced herself to continue.

"After I came out of the girl's room, Wu Yu tied me up and threw me into the woodshed..."

"They even took my blood as a medicine, saying it was for the girl's treatment."

"I don't know what kind of magic that girl uses to cure illnesses. She actually requires eating human blood!"

"The most terrifying thing is that a living child went in and came out as a mummy!"

"It was as if all the blood and flesh in my body had been sucked dry, leaving only wrinkled skin wrapped around my bones..."

"If I couldn't tell from the body shape, I wouldn't have believed that a living person could become like this..."

Su Jiuyue stared at Qin Xuan closely. She found it hard to accept such an incredible thing.

But Qin Xuan spoke seriously, as if she had really seen it with her own eyes.

There was no trace of lying at all, so she had to believe it.

"The second day, the third day, the fourth day..."

"They kill a child every day, and take my blood every day..."

"That witch is really powerful. The doctors said that she can't be cured and that she will definitely die..."

"Her meridians are clearly broken, and she is clearly dying..."

"But despite such a serious injury, she was able to get out of bed on the second day and was no different from a normal person on the third day!"

"If this isn't witchcraft, then what is it? If this isn't witchcraft, then what is it?!"

Qin Xuan asked questions with fear in her eyes.

"In just two or three days, he is no different from an ordinary person?"

This completely shattered Su Jiuyue's understanding of medicine.

If the meridians are broken, will they recover to normal in two or three days?

It seems that the girl does have some extraordinary means.

Ever since she traveled to this world, she knew that there were many things in this world that could not be explained by common sense.

It is not surprising that some people learn strange and unusual skills.

But this is a method of using children's lives to prolong one's own life and turning children into mummies.

It is definitely not a skill that can be seen in the light.

Evil skill!

"Then how did you escape? And why did you bring Brother Yu to He County?"

"Aunt Liu and Wu Yu will never hand Brother Yu over to you!"

Su Jiuyue looked at her coldly and asked in a calm voice.

Qin Xuan smiled bitterly.

"I am lucky."

"Brother Yu came to my place last night looking for his father, and saved me by chance..."

Qin Xuan's face was pale, and she didn't know whether she was feeling relieved or sighing.

"Elaborate."

"Brother Yu often played hide-and-seek with me in my yard. That's how he discovered a big hole in a corner of my woodshed that had fallen into disrepair."

"I wanted to ask someone to fill it in, but he said it wouldn't be noticeable even if we disguised it here, and it just so happens that he can take a shortcut when he comes here on weekdays."

"I thought I didn't know when the hole was made, and nothing had ever happened in my family, so I agreed."

"I went to talk to Wu Yu about this trivial matter myself, but I didn't expect that he saved my life..."

Su Jiuyue touched her chin.

"According to what you said, Brother Yu took this shortcut yesterday and happened to see you tied up in the woodshed?"

Qin Xuan nodded.

"His father gave him a dagger for self-defense and asked him to carry it with him. He used this dagger to cut the rope and save me..."

"As soon as I was free, I covered his eyes."

"The woodshed was dark. Fortunately, he didn't see the seven mummies..."

"That witch was very skilled in martial arts, so I didn't dare to stay for long, so I found an excuse to bring Brother Yu out."

"That witch is a cannibal. I'm afraid she'll set her sights on Brother Yu. Anyway, the city won't tolerate me anymore."

"I lied to him and told him that his father had gone to another place and I would take him to look for him. Brother Yu always listened to me and believed me and followed me out of the city."

Qin Xuan was speaking when she was interrupted by Su Jiuyue.

"You think that witch will attack Brother Yu? Can Wu Yu do it?"

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Even if he loves that woman terribly, would he allow him to harm his own child?

"Ha ha……"

Qin Xuan smiled bitterly.

"Hehehe..."

She had tears in her eyes.

"You know, before he persecuted me, I also firmly believed that he would not hurt me."

"He promised me a future, a lifetime, glory, wealth, and worry-free..."

"If he didn't have true feelings for me, how could I do such a despicable thing?"

"But what did I get? And what did he do to me?"

"He used my blood to please another woman, torturing me day and night, making it impossible for me to die!"

"You are so naive, do you think he is still him?"

“Haha! Hahahaha!!!”

Qin Xuan smiled sadly.

"That witch has already controlled him with her magic. He doesn't even know who he is. Will he still care about his son?"

Thinking about these days, Wu Yu’s indifference, bloodthirstiness, strangeness and numbness.

Like a puppet, a murder tool.

She had been with him day and night for so many days, she could be sure!

Wu Yu's behavior is abnormal! It's as if his soul has been shot out!

Since that witch could heal herself with her magic, wouldn't it be easy for her to control Wu Yu with it?

"My soul has been taken away..."

Isn't that just like using an unbreakable protocol machine to control people's minds?

I didn't expect she had such a method!

Su Jiuyue's heart skipped a beat.

The talented people in this world should not be underestimated!

"Then why did you bring him to He County?"

Qin Xuan looked at Su Jiuyue and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't come to He County at all. My original intention was to bring him to you."

Su Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.

Qin Xuan gave another bitter smile.

"I can't stay in the city. That witch won't let me go, and Brother Yu can't go back to the Wu Mansion."

"The people in the Liu Mansion hate me to the core and won't believe me. It's not safe to send Brother Yu there."

"Who knows when that witch will set her sights on Brother Yu?"

"I can't gamble, and I don't dare to gamble..."

"Wu Yu is an official, a high-ranking official. It would be too easy for him to find us in the capital city! So I have to go, I have to take Brother Yu away!"

Qin Xuan looked at Su Jiuyue!

"You are in Yishan County! I have to find you! You love Brother Yu so much, you will never leave him alone!"

"only……"

Qin Xuan tugged at the corner of her clothes awkwardly.

"I did escape, but I have no money..."

"When we arrived in He County, we were so hungry that I just..."

"I just committed theft..."

Qin Xuan lowered her head embarrassedly.

She wanted to have a good meal, so she took Yu Ge'er and continued on her journey overnight.

I never thought that Madam Xie would react so quickly.

Before she could run away, she was surrounded by her men.

Almost ended up losing the rice...

Su Jiuyue looked at her indifferently.

"You would be so kind?"

Qin Xuan smiled bitterly.

"I lost a child and also lost the qualification to be a mother, so whether you believe it or not, I really did it for Brother Yu this time..."

"You have to believe me, don't give Brother Yu to the Wu family!"

"I feel relieved that Brother Yu is with you. Tell Sister Liu that I am sorry, but tell her to trust me and take good care of Brother Yu. Don't let him fall into the hands of that witch!"

Qin Xuan spoke earnestly.

Su Jiuyue knew that she was speaking from the heart.

but……

so what?

"I saved you today for Brother Yu's sake. I have done my best for you."

"You will leave on your own tomorrow. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us."

After saying this, Su Jiuyue turned around and left the room without mercy.

She is not a savior, nor a saint.

No matter how pitiful Qin Xuan is, it is all her own fault.

If she had not interfered in the relationship between Aunt Liu and Wu Yu, Wu Yu would not have had an affair with her.

How could there be a chance to harm her?

All I can say is that God is watching what you do, and you will be punished accordingly.

Qin Xuan looked at the tightly closed door, smiled bitterly and sighed.

She knew that she deserved all of this, and she didn't blame Su Jiuyue for not wanting to continue helping him.

She was already very satisfied to be able to send Yu Ge'er safely to Su Jiuyue...

Su Jiuyue came to Lin Qingqing's room and opened the door.

Lin Qingqing immediately made a hushing gesture to her and pointed at the bed.

Su Jiuyue saw the small figure on the bed and nodded knowingly.

Move gently.

"Are you asleep?"

Talk to Lin Qingqing in a low voice.

Lin Qingqing nodded and looked at Yu Ge'er with heartache.

"Well, I guess I was tired. I fell asleep while eating porridge."

"How are you doing? Did Qin Xuan explain why she brought Yu Ge'er to He County?"

Su Jiuyue's eyes narrowed and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

I found a chair, sat down, and poured myself a cup of tea.

Shaking the teacup, he reviewed what Qin Xuan had said.

According to what she said, the capital city might not be peaceful.

Seven consecutive lives, seven mummies, the Tongzhi broke the law knowingly and assisted the tyrant in his atrocities.

Using his position to persecute children.

This is a heinous crime!

and……

Brother Yu didn't come back overnight. Aunt Liu must have known about Brother Yu's disappearance and must have been worried to death...

"Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingqing saw that Su Jiuyue looked worried and asked with concern.

Su Jiuyue shook her head.

"Qingqing, I'm afraid we have to go to the capital again."

Lin Qingqing nodded in agreement.

"Brother Yu is missing. Aunt Liu must be very worried. We need to send Brother Yu back."

"It won't take much time tomorrow, so get it done quickly and we can go together."

There was no conversation that night. When Lin Qingqing and Su Jiuyue got up, Qin Xuan had already left.

Su Jiuyue made up an excuse to put Yu Ge'er off, had breakfast, and went to look for the blacksmith shop.

Fortunately, the address given was accurate and they found the place without any effort.

But the people who came out to greet them made them feel a little bit amused...
