The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

Chapter 164 The Mysterious Person Behind the Scenes

Zheng Fu.

The woman who stayed there seemed quiet and obedient, but on the second night, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, she quietly left the house under the cover of darkness.

Zheng Xuanran's confidant came running over, looking nervous, and said, "Sir, she's out again!"

Zheng Xuanran was sitting in the study. Hearing this, his brows furrowed, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and follow!"

"Yes!"

He nodded slightly, and said in a cold tone: "When she returns home, catch her. I will personally take her to the Dali Temple and let Qin Hean interrogate her thoroughly."

Upon receiving the order, the confidant saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, sir!" Then he quickly turned around and left, his figure soon disappearing into the night.

Zheng Xuanran stood up, walked to the window, looked in the direction where his confidant left, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zheng Xuanran was waiting for news from his confidant in the study.

As the night deepened, everything was quiet except for the occasional chirping of insects.

Finally, at dawn, the confidant returned with the woman.

The woman looked panicked, her eyes revealing hatred and anxiety.

Zheng Xuanran looked at her and gloated, "You got caught stealing!"

"Go to the Dali Temple and make your own excuses!"

The woman straightened her back and kept silent.

Zheng Xuanran said no more and took her straight to the Dali Temple early in the morning.

Along the way, the woman tried to break free several times but failed.

After arriving at the Dali Temple, Zheng Xuanran handed the woman over to Qin Hean and said, "Master Qin, you are right. This woman behaved strangely and left the house late at night to meet someone!"

Qin Hean glanced at the woman and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zheng. I will give her a thorough trial!"

Zheng Xuanran sneered: "If you don't tell the truth, I will use severe punishment!"

In front of the solemn and dignified Dali Temple hall, the woman knelt on the ground trembling. Facing Qin Hean's interrogation, she kept her lips tightly closed, her eyes stubborn, and refused to answer.

Qin Hean frowned, stared at her fiercely, and said sternly: "Now that things have come to this, if you confess the truth, there may be a glimmer of hope."

However, the woman remained silent.

Zheng Xuanran stood aside with a gloomy face and was extremely angry.

Just when everyone thought the woman would remain silent, she suddenly raised her head, eyes full of resentment, and yelled at Zheng Xuanran: "Zheng Xuanran is deliberately framing me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

Zheng Xuanran was so angry that his face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! You vicious woman!"

The woman was not afraid at all and continued to cry, "I just went out of the house to see my elder brother, and I had no other thoughts, but he tried every means to stop me, restricting my personal freedom and not letting me go to see my elder brother!"

Qin Hean raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and glanced back and forth between the woman and Zheng Xuanran, and said in a deep voice: "Humph, I don't believe it."

The woman burst into tears, "My Lord, I am a weak woman, how could I have any bad intentions? Zheng Xuanran relied on his power to slander me at will, I am really wronged!"

Zheng Xuanran took a step forward, pointed at the woman and said, "Don't try to quibble! You left the house late at night and your whereabouts were mysterious. If you didn't have something to hide, why didn't you tell the truth?"

The woman cried even more miserably, "I have already said that I was only going to see my eldest brother, but he didn't believe me and insisted on accusing me of a false crime."

Qin Hean pondered for a moment and said, "You said you were going to see Big Brother, do you have any evidence?"

The woman was suddenly speechless and could not utter a word.

Zheng Xuanran snorted coldly, "Sir, this woman is full of lies. She is clearly delaying on purpose in an attempt to evade responsibility."

Qin Hean looked at the woman again, "If you don't tell the truth, I will have no choice but to deal with you according to the law."

The woman's body trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still clenched her teeth and refused to utter a word.

Zheng Xuanran looked at the woman who was still trying to argue, and said coldly: "Since you entered the mansion, I have sent people to monitor your every move."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zheng Xuanran, waiting for his next words. Zheng Xuanran's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he said clearly and accurately: "On the night you claimed to be leaving the house to meet your eldest brother, you met a mysterious man at the corner of West Street. The two of you whispered to each other and looked nervous."

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale instantly and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with panic, and her tough attitude was gone. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Qin Hean took the opportunity to sternly say: "Tell the truth! At this point, you have nowhere to escape."

The woman's lips trembled, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She tried to make a final struggle: "This... This is all a false accusation by him. It didn't happen."

Zheng Xuanran snorted coldly: "The people I sent saw it clearly. You nodded to the mysterious man and then hurriedly separated. Do you still dare to deny it?"

The woman at this moment was already in a state of panic, her eyes were wandering, and she didn't dare to look at anyone.

Qin Hean pressed on: "Tell me! Who is that mysterious man? What are you planning? If you keep hiding it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The woman slumped to the ground, her psychological defenses completely collapsed, and she finally couldn't help crying loudly: "Sir, I... I..."

Seeing that the situation was settled, the woman's eyes suddenly flashed with madness and determination. She suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed Zheng Xuanran frantically, shouting, "Zheng Xuanran, you die!"

This sudden change shocked everyone. At the critical moment when the dagger was still a few centimeters away from Zheng Xuanran, Qin Hean reacted quickly. He immediately stood up, his body as fast as lightning, and kicked the woman hard in the chest.

The woman was instantly under force and fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth and splashed onto the cold ground.

However, even so, she still did not give up struggling. Suddenly, she sneered, her voice full of grief and determination: "Even if I die, I will not betray my master!"

After saying that, she stabbed the dagger into her chest without hesitation.

Her eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

The hall instantly fell into deathly silence. Zheng Xuanran was still frightened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Qin Hean frowned and looked at the dead woman, his heart full of doubts and worries.

"This woman is so determined, who is the mastermind behind this?" Qin Hean whispered to himself.

Zheng Xuanran was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There must be a major conspiracy here, and we must investigate it thoroughly."

Qin Hean nodded in agreement: "Yes, this matter will never end here. We must find out the mastermind behind this, so that he won't harm others again!"

"The people who assassinated His Majesty and killed you might be from the same group!"

"If my guess is correct, the next target of this person behind the scenes is me!"

Zheng Xuanran: “Ah?”
