Chapter 229 The truth is about to come out!
Qin Beiyu was so shocked by Wei Zhendong's words that he stood there unable to react. Only then did he realize that he was too impulsive!
“Prince, Ruyi is a child I watched grow up. Although she is smart and cunning, she is definitely not a vicious child.
The starting point of what happened last night was extremely vicious!
If my guess is correct, this incident might have been directed and acted by the little girl herself.
It's not that I'm siding with my daughter. If Ruyi had done the same thing, I think she would have been even more cruel!
Prince, do you think Ruyi wanted to punish her? Would she find the girl's fiancé? Why didn't she find someone else? If she did, wouldn't that girl end up in a worse situation? "
Qin Beiyu...
Rumble…
Qin Beiyu was struck by lightning. He really couldn't react. He suddenly remembered what the little girl said last night. She said that she was not a good person...
Her words were very powerful. Qin Beiyu now thought that the fact that Zhao Manman was framed and had an early wedding with Chen Wentong was indeed not worth pondering!
If Ruyi wants to ruin Zhao Manman, she can just find another man. In that case, wouldn't she lose her virginity before marriage, and the marriage with Chen Wentong would be ruined, right?
Qin Beiyu's brows furrowed more and more. He knew that he might be wrong, very wrong!
He looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, I'm going to find Ruyi... I was misled by Zhao Manman at the time, and I said that to Ruyi in a fit of rage. No! I'm going to find her..."
Wei Zhendong looked at his nephew who ran away, frowning and having a bad feeling in his heart. Although his nephew was known as the God of War, he was used to hanging out with men in the military camp and didn't understand the secret methods of the women in the backyard at all!
Wei Zhendong is now sure that it was not his Ruyi who did this. If it was her, she would definitely find someone else and not Zhao Manman’s fiancé.
Wei Zhendong changed his mind and thought that the girl might have brought her fiancé Chen Wentong with the intention of causing them to commit incest as step-siblings!
Duke Wei Zhendong is not a fool. Although he looks rough, he is a man of many ideas. He just pretends to be honest in front of his wife.
As a first-rank duke of the imperial court, he has been able to remain standing for so many years, not because of the virtue of his ancestors, but because of his smarts.
Qin Beiyu rushed into Shen Ruyi's yard and went straight to the house. As a result, Shen Ruyi's house was empty, without a single maid!
"Ruyi! Ruyi...where are you? My cousin is here...Ruyi!"
Qin Beiyu was sweating all over, and his eyes went dark from shouting. He didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about how to help Ruyi make amends, how to settle this matter, and make the little girl change...
The only thing he had never thought of was trusting his cousin! Oh my God! He was blinded by Zhao Manman's misery yesterday. Now thinking back, his cousin's expression was desperate. Yes! It was a desperate expression. She told him that the trust between them was gone...
Qin Beiyu was sweating all over, and his heart was tearing with pain!
The man rushed out of the Fuguogong Mansion and headed straight for Ruyi Clothing Shop. Today, the shopkeeper Ma was quite relaxed and was still drinking tea. When he looked up, he saw Qin Beiyu coming over. He quickly stood up to greet him: "Hey, Prince, what can I do for you?"
"Shopkeeper Ma, is Ruyi here? Where is she?"
Shopkeeper Ma looked puzzled: "No, we just opened the shop so early, the young county lady didn't come!"
Qin Beiyu looked at Qian Qing and Wan Qing and said, "One of you two can go to the bookstore in the back, and the other can go to the restaurant that Ruyi often goes to. I will go back to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion to look for her!"
Qianqing and Wanqing didn't understand what was going on, but they would definitely obey the orders of their own prince and ran away to act separately!
Qin Beiyu rushed back to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion and when he arrived at the gate, he saw Wei Wanlin, Wei Wanshan and Wei Wanchong were all at the gate of the courtyard.
Wei Wanqian ran out with a small schoolbag on his back, and Wei Wanchong pulled him into the carriage to send him to school.
Suddenly, the four brothers saw Qin Beiyu at the same time. Wei Wanlin walked over and said, "What's up, Prince? Are you going to continue irrigating the crops today?
I'll go with you after I've given my family instructions!"
Qin Beiyu said with a bad face: "Wan Lin, where is Ruyi?"
Wei Wanshan: "Prince, have you investigated what happened last night? We plan to investigate this matter thoroughly. Just now, the three of us said that Wan Chong will send Wan Qian to school, and we will start investigating together when he comes back."
Watching Wei Wanchong driving the carriage away with his younger brother, Qin Beiyu nodded: "Okay! I want to talk to Ruyi, but I didn't find her when I went to her yard this morning... I looked for Ruyi last night... I... I questioned her... She got angry..."
Wei Wanshan frowned and said, "Prince, we heard from Wan Chong about this matter. It was really unexpected that Miss Zhao had such an incident in our family. It sounds like Ruyi did it on purpose, but we feel that this matter was not done by Ruyi!"
Wei Wanlin: "Well, at first glance, it sounds like Ruyi did it, but our Ruyi is not that kind of person!
If it was Ruyi who did it, she must have a purpose! Why did she do this? Was it because she was jealous? Because that young lady liked the prince?"
Wei Wanshan shook his head: "Let's go find Ruyi first and ask her about the situation at that time..."
The two elder brothers took Qin Beiyu to Shen Ruyi's yard again. Shen Ruyi was really not at home. Xiaohong and Xiaobi were not in the yard, and Zhaocai Jinbao was not there either. A laundry woman said that the young county lady had gone out with her maid before dawn in the morning.
Qin Beiyu had an impulse at that time and wanted to go out to find someone, but Wei Wanlin saw what was going on.
"Prince, what did you say to Ruyi last night? That little girl is very sensitive. Did you irritate her?"
Qin Beiyu panicked: "Wan Lin, I was frightened by Zhao Manman's miserable appearance last night. I went to ask Ruyi why she framed Miss Zhao...
She was very angry and said that I believed Zhao Manman but not her. She said that she was knocked unconscious and taken into that room. When she woke up, she smelled a bad smell in the room and heard Zhao Manman and Chen Wentong talking, so she jumped out the window and ran away..."
Wei Wanshan said in disbelief: "Prince, you shouldn't ask that. It's not like you don't know Ruyi. Ruyi is not that kind of dirty person at all!"
Wei Wanlin sighed, frowned and said: "This matter is not simple, let's go to the yard where the incident happened and take a look. This matter is obviously aimed at our Ruyi!"
The two brothers took Qin Beiyu to the courtyard where the incident happened. That courtyard was where the wet nurse of Crown Princess Wei Meijuan lived in her old age, so no one had used it for many years.
Something happened last night, so Wei Zhendong sent someone to guard the place. So when the three brothers arrived, there was no one in the Xiaopian yard.
Indeed, the yard separated by a wall next to it was the yard where the guests changed clothes last night. Shen Ruyi said that she was knocked unconscious and brought here, so it should be easy.
We opened the room where the incident happened. Since it was daybreak, we could see that there was dust everywhere. There were several footprints on the windowsill, and they were obviously very heavy.
Wei Wanlin looked at the footprints and shouted, "Come and take a look at these footprints. Some of them are obviously heavy, while others are light. The heavy footprints have dust on the edges, so it's possible that he was carrying Ruyi at the time, so his footsteps were heavier!
Look at these two light footprints, they are obviously not stepped on lightly, what is on them?
Wanshan, go up and take a look!"
Wei Wanshan climbed up to the windowsill. Because of his tall stature, he could immediately see a piece of burnt incense stick placed on the beam.
He reached out and touched the incense ash, then took a closer look and smelled the sweet fragrance.
Wei Wanshan picked up a handful, and Qin Beiyu and Wei Wanlin took a closer look and could still smell a fragrance.
Qin Beiyu: "When Zhao Manman rushed out of the house last night, she had this scent on her body!"
Wei Wanlin looked up at the windowsill and the beam: "Prince, the footprints on the windowsill are probably not from Ruyi. Ruyi has small feet and hands, and she is probably not tall enough to reach the beam.
At this height, you have to be at least half a head taller than what you want to be able to put the incense up there."
The truth was about to come out. Just as Shen Ruyi said, she was knocked unconscious and brought here.
Qin Beiyu wanted to bang his head against the wall now. Why didn't he check it out before going to Ruyi? He just relied on his own guesses and didn't believe her. In the end, he hurt the little girl.
Looking at all this, what else did he not understand? The footprints were from Zhao Manman, and the place where the seductive fragrance was placed was also placed by Zhao Manman, because she was half a head taller than Buyi, and she knew some kung fu, so her Qinggong was probably not bad!
Just like my uncle said, if it was Ruyi who did it, she would not have asked Chen Wen for help. If she had asked another man to do it, Zhao Manman would be even more miserable, right?
Qian Qing and Wan Qing came to the Duke's Mansion and said that they couldn't find Shen Ruyi anywhere.
Qin Beiyu now felt like crying without tears: "It's all my fault. I saw Zhao Manman's miserable look at that time, and thought of Ruyi because she saw that Zhao Manman looked at me with a strange look, so I guessed that it was Ruyi who did it..."
Wei Wanshan sighed: "Don't blame yourself, Prince. You were not at home these years. Wan Chong and I watched Ruyi grow up. She is a thoughtful girl, but she is definitely not a vicious person."
Wei Wanlin frowned and said, "I guess this was done by the little girl from the Zhao family. She might have gotten herself into trouble. She wanted to harm Ruyi and her fiancé, but ended up sleeping with her fiancé herself!"
