C10 Truth

After the servant in the hall had left, Su Mu spoke again, "Zhu Chusheng, you can't die now. We haven't figured out the crime of you murdering your mother and framing others!"

"Master, what did you say?" Old Master He looked at Su Mu and asked in disbelief.

Su Mu ignored him and looked at Bao Fusheng who was sitting beside the Grand Master's chair. He then called out again, "Bring a witness, Doctor Wang, to the hall."

Doctor Wang was the one who had blocked Su Mu and Bao Fusheng at the He Family's back door.

Because Wu City City was not very big, it only had Doctor Wang's herb shop. As for the common folk's doctors, they were naturally only used by the poor families, like the He and Zhu Families, who would definitely invite Doctor Wang to their houses if they were ill.

It was because of her identity that Su Mu had learned from Dr. Wang that Miss He Family had hanged herself due to postpartum depression. It was because of this that Su Mu thought of the child from Zhu Family's firewood house. Since Miss He was born, she could only be raised using her Zhu Family so this child could only be an illegitimate child between Zhu Chusheng and Miss He.

Yet, this child was being watched by the Nanny Liu who suspected of having killed her. This meant that Zhu Chusheng trusted the Nanny Liu greatly and was certain that the Nanny Liu was not the person who killed her.

Then who killed her?

It was as if everything had come to an abrupt end, but the twists and turns of things had overlooked one of the most important and fundamental factors, the motive for murder.

Her mother was not an ordinary woman, she was a daughter who came from a large family with a rich dowry, a fortune that was enough to ruin her husband's entire family and allow her and her son to continue living a wealthy life in Wu City.

Why weren't the servants clear on what was happening even though there were rumors outside that the Zhu Family was going to fall? It was because her mother had already used her own money to subsidize the family, allowing the servants and attendants of Zhu Family to not be dismissed, which was why she had the confidence and confidence to not accept the daughter of Shang Jia who was pregnant.

Hence, it seemed that no one had any motive to kill within the calm Zhu Mansion, and yet, they had neglected the person who had the most grudges with Madam Zhu — — Zhu Chusheng.

The woman he loved was pregnant, and she was waiting for him to marry her mother, who refused to give up, but she had enough money in her hand to get her future father-in-law to agree to marry him home. In the beginning, he chose to wait, but he waited and waited until news of his mother spreading the news that the He Family girl was not allowed to enter, waiting for his lover's father to force his flesh and blood to flow out.

In the end, Zhu Chusheng gave up waiting. He chose a path that everyone despised, one that defied all principles.

He hung the fishing line in his mother's room with a sharp knife tied to it. He tied the end of the line to the doorknob, calculated how long it would take her to drink the Spirit Calming Powder every day, and then knocked on the door. The moment the door opened, a sharp blade pierced the throat, and the mother fell to the ground. As more and more blood flowed from her arteries, she died in her sleep, accompanied by the effects of the Spirit-Calming Powder. He cut off the fishing line and put away the tools.

Everything was close to perfection. The only accident was the Nanny Liu who came to serve his mother. Hopefully, Nanny Liu would stay in the Zhu Family to look after the child until Miss He was married into the palace. Although Nanny Liu agreed, she still felt guilty. She took the aphrodisiac herself and didn't say anything else for the rest of her life to punish herself.

As for Zhu Chusheng, his son, after killing his mother, he had spent the entire night trembling in his nightmares.

"Zhu Chusheng, did you hear that? Did you instruct Mrs Liu to go to the Wang family medicine store to buy the aphrodisiac? Have you caused a mental disorder by murdering your mother? " Su Mu picked up another item from the table and inquired, "The fishing line I took off from your mother's door was also purchased from Old Zhang's stall by the roadside."

Zhu Chusheng who was already laid on the ground seemed to not have any life left on his body, he only used his hands to cover his face, trembling and crying, looking like he was about to go crazy.

"Men, detain Zhu Chusheng and Mrs Liu first." After saying this, Su Mu suddenly felt a little powerless. His thoughts were in a mess as they drifted around.

Seeing that the case had been concluded, and even the Yamen had planned to leave, the Old Master He said anxiously, "Sir, this humble one has a presumptuous request, I hope Sir can grant it."

"Please speak, Old Master He." Su Mu said.

When He Shou's gaze fell on the child temporarily under the care of the Yamen, he said, "This humble one wishes to bring my grandson back, my daughter is so anxious for him …"

Because this child was also involved in a case, Su Mu was not sure what to do, and turned to look at Lin Yi who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair.

Sensing Lin Yi's gaze, she nodded slightly. Su Mu then replied, "Yes."

The murder case of Zhu Family had thus been concluded. Once again, this shocking news swept through the streets and alleys of Wu City City.

When Su Mu walked down the court, Lin Yi, who was waiting by the side, noticed that, and quickly supported him up. His voice was indifferent as usual, "You did well, whatever I promised you previously will be, if you are willing to follow me."

However, Su Mu's mind was still immersed in Zhu Chusheng's frantic state, and could not recover from it for a long time, so Wang He answered for her, "We two brothers will not disgrace our trust, and will do our best." As he spoke, he took Su Mu from Lin Yi's hands.

Previously, Su Mu had told Wang He that he hoped to borrow Lin Yi's power to help his father suffer grievances. Thus, it seemed to be the best method for both of them to fight their way into the Crown Prince's Palace. Even though the road ahead was uncertain, he still didn't know his way back.

They had originally planned to let Lin Yi be the host and head to the best restaurant in Wu City for a meal. On the surface, it was just right for them to talk about the place they were going next. However, she didn't expect that Su Mu would fall because he was too weak after the first trial.

Therefore, when it was time to eat, only Lin Yi and Bao Fusheng were left.

"Your Highness, do you think that brother Su should be alright? I wonder if brother Wang can take care of him." Bao Fusheng was a little worried.

Hearing that, Lin Yi knocked the table with his fan, "You have only known them for a few days, why did you call brother Su and Brother Wang? Whether it's a human or a demon, I don't even know. "

Bao Fusheng did not agree with Lin Yi's point of view. Through working with Su Mu to investigate, he could clearly feel the sense of justice from Su Mu's body.

"You don't believe me? One of them is surnamed Su and the other is surnamed Wang. Are they real brothers? " Seeing Bao Fusheng shaking his head, Lin Yi could not help but ask.

After Bao Fusheng heard this, he pondered for a while, but was unable to come up with an answer, his confidence was not worth much, "Maybe this one has a surname of the father, and the other one has a surname of the mother?"

Lin Yi only chuckled, he slowly played with the fan in his hand, and did not answer anymore.
