Chapter 167 She is the murderer of my child
"Miss, we should be at the Marquis's residence by now."
Miao Cui stayed by Shen Hanyu's side, while Jin Chui went to watch the road.
The wedding procession began its journey towards the Third Prince's residence. The sun was setting, and the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony was still a while away.
Liang Ruoxue raised her hand and lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside; she was about to arrive at the Third Prince's residence.
Princess Yongning and the Crown Prince were also waiting there. Li Huaijiang glanced at Shen Hanyu, who was the only one present who knew what Shen Hanyu was going to do.
However, Liang Ruoxue was not entirely innocent. She didn't interfere in this matter, since it was Shen Hanyu's private affair anyway.
As long as Shen Hanyu can handle it well, there won't be any problems.
The carriage continued forward, and Jin Chui stood on the second floor of the teahouse, where he saw the person they had arranged to go in.
Speaking of which, this person also has some connection with Liang Ruoxue, and it was she who took the initiative to approach Shen Hanyu saying she wanted revenge.
Shen Hanyu naturally gave her this opportunity.
"We'll be there soon."
Jin Chui stroked his chin, looking at Liang Ruoxue, who was still in the bridal sedan chair, seemingly unharmed.
As the Third Prince's residence gradually came into view, the woman raised her hand and gently removed the silver hairpin from her hair.
As the bridal sedan chair landed, Liang Ruoxue stepped down triumphantly. Before she could even enter the mansion gate, a woman beside her suddenly rushed out, plunged a silver hairpin into her heart, and then twisted it hard twice.
Liang Ruoxue and the man fell to the ground together. Everything happened so fast that Li Jun didn't even have time to react.
The servants of the Third Prince's residence quickly came out and surrounded the person.
"you……"
Liang Ruoxue's eyes widened, but she couldn't make a sound because of the pain.
The woman's eyes were red and swollen: "It's all your fault! You're the one who killed my child!"
She pressed down hard, and blood spread.
Li Jun raised his hand and grabbed the woman, only to see that the silver hairpin had already pierced Liang Ruoxue's heart.
"Summon the imperial physician!"
Liang Ruoxue looked at Li Jun pleadingly. She didn't want to die. She was only one step away from becoming the Third Prince's consort. How could she be willing to die here?
But as her strength continued to drain away, Liang Ruoxue gasped for breath.
Liang Ruoyan also witnessed this scene. She watched as Lin Lihua ran out like a madwoman and hugged Liang Ruoxue, who was lying in a pool of blood.
A glint of pleasure flashed in her eyes. This Liang Ruoxue really didn't have the destiny; she looked like she was going to die.
“I put poison on the silver hairpin; she’s about to die, and even a god couldn’t save her.”
The woman laughed, her voice shrill and mournful.
Lin Lihua came over crying and hitting her. Li Jun's face was also very ugly. He did not expect that such a thing would happen today.
Princess Yongning and the others also came out, and the entrance was surrounded. Princess Yongning chased away all the bystanders. Liang Ruoxue's condition could not be moved casually, and they could only wait for the royal physician to arrive.
Liang Ruoxue's lips turned blue, and she was having trouble breathing.
"Why did you kill my daughter? Why!"
Lin Lihua was held back by Li Jun; things couldn't get chaotic at this point.
The woman sneered as she was restrained. "Why would I kill her? The Second Miss Liang of the Marquis's Mansion is ruthless. My child and I were walking along the road when she ran over and killed my daughter, and then hurled insults at us. I'm afraid she doesn't even remember this incident anymore."
The woman looked at Liang Ruoxue lying on the ground. Liang Ruoxue heard what she said and lowered her raised hand.
Li Jun was stunned. Princess Yongning walked over and asked, "What exactly happened?"
The woman ignored them and continued talking to herself.
"My poor child died in my arms. She is the murderer who killed my child!"
After saying that, the woman bit her lip hard, blood trickling from the corner of her lips, and then collapsed.
He committed suicide by biting his tongue.
The royal physician rushed over, and Liang Ruoxue's condition was very bad. They tried their best to treat her, but it was still too late. Liang Ruoxue didn't have much time left.
Li Jun was somewhat bewildered. Today was supposed to be his joyous day, but it had turned out like this.
Princess Yongning stabilized the situation and ordered an investigation to find out what had happened.
Shen Hanyu stood at the vent, looking at Liang Ruoxue, who was breathing more air than it was breathing in.
"Girl, it's over. We should go now."
Shen Hanyu gently shook her head: "No, I want to watch her die."
I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes.
Miao Cui didn't say anything more and just stood there with Shen Hanyu.
Many people went inside, and Li Jing patted Li Jun on the shoulder.
"Go, go see them one last time."
Li Jun stirred, then suddenly asked, "Brother, do you think what that person said is true?"
Li Jing paused for a moment, then replied, "That person has a strong personality; what he said might be true."
Li Jun stared at the door: "What's really real in this world?"
"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter now. She's lying inside right now, and she almost became your wife. We should at least save some face for her."
Li Jing escorted Li Jun inside, and upon hearing the news of Liang Ruoxue's death, Shen Hanyu left.
There's no way to verify the truth now that they're dead, and if a real investigation were to be conducted, it would indeed be Liang Ruoxue's fault.
The most heartbroken people in this incident were Liang Ruoxue's family.
Princess Yongning has already investigated the matter thoroughly, focusing solely on this one incident, without investigating anything else.
Liang Ruoxue's body was taken back, but since there was no wedding ceremony, she was no longer considered a member of the Third Prince's household.
"Please accept my condolences. Also, I need to let you know about this: what the deceased said was true. Liang Ruoxue is indeed somewhat ruthless, and she is different from the person you met."
Li Jun was no longer able to argue whether the matter was true or false.
"Elder sister, please go and offer condolences on my behalf."
Princess Yongning was somewhat worried, fearing that Li Jun would revert to her previous state.
"People should always look forward; don't trap yourself in a cycle of uncertainty."
Princess Yongning left after speaking, leaving the rest for Li Jun to figure out on her own.
Shen Hanyu returned to her residence and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Now that the second wife's family is completely devoid of capable members, will the young lady attend the funeral?"
Shen Hanyu thought for a moment, "If the Marquis's residence invites us, we'll go; if not, we'll stay put."
Since her relationship with the Marquis's mansion wasn't particularly close, and they didn't invite her, Shen Hanyu didn't need to rush over.
The gatekeeper handed over a letter from Li Huaijiang, saying that he had found out some things about Lin Qiufeng and Qingmen Pass.
Seeing that there was progress, Shen Hanyu went to the study to bring back what Shen Yanzhi had found.
"Let's go to the princess's residence."
It was getting late, but Shen Hanyu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to know what had happened.
Her father's body has not yet been laid to rest, and the cause of death is unknown. Lin Qiufeng is her only chance.
Li Huaijiang didn't expect Shen Hanyu to come in the dark. "You really can't wait even a moment longer."
Shen Hanyu took the item out of her bosom.
"I went back to Suzhou earlier and found some things that my father had hidden in the prefect's mansion. They were all about my father's good friend Qi Liansheng and Lizhou. What exactly is Lin Qiufeng? Is he someone who escaped from Qingmen Pass?"
