My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chen Mu's words seemed to be covered with chilly frost, lowering the temperature in the cabin by a few degrees, and the atmosphere stagnated.

"Atonement?"

Deng Wensheng's deep and secluded eyes were extremely cold. "I don't know what Chen Houye is talking about, the lower officials don't understand."

Chen Mu said in a calm tone: "I saw your daughter in front of the government office, and she asked me to return a doll for her, saying that if I didn't return it, my father would scold her..."

Deng Wensheng listened quietly, without any expression on his face.

But the fist hidden in the sleeve was slightly clenched.

"So I told her that you were dead and killed by own father. But she didn't believe it, because her most respected father couldn't kill her..."

Chen Mu continued. "The little girl has been waiting there, waiting for her father to pick her up...waiting for the family to reunite."

Hearing this, Deng Wensheng said indifferently: "Hou Master Chen has something to say straightforwardly. There is no need to use this kind of children's story to scare the official. ."

"Do you think your daughter... is an evil thing?"

Chen Mu smiled mockingly.

Deng Wensheng raised his chin, his bright eyes revealing fortitude:

"Chen Houye, are you planning to use this as an article for the official? The official told you that you can promote it, and the official is not afraid!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain: "Master Chen, I'm sorry to give it away!"

"You have no guilt for your daughter?"

Chen Mu asked every sentence. "Even if a six-year-old girl steals a little toy, you can educate her in many ways, but why beat her to death!

To treat those robbers and thieves, you can educate others with morals, but you have to put such a heavy hand on your own daughter—"

"enough!!"

Deng Wensheng's complexion was pale, and his thin body was like a bamboo pole propped up against the backdrop of his generous official clothes, but he stood straight.

He straightened his chest and said with awe-inspiring expression:

"As a prefect, the official, as an example for the people, is guilty when the daughter steals other people's property with her own greed.

Thieves and cheats when they were young, even more so when they grow up? It shows that the nature is misbehaving!

As the daughter of the prefect, it is even more sinful to do such a ridiculous thing! If the official doesn't punish her severely, how ashamed is to the emperor's grace, what is the face to be ashamed of the people!

If Chen Houye thinks that he will make a fuss on the official by taking this matter, and threaten the official, then I am afraid that you will be disappointed. This matter, the official has a clear conscience, even if there are a hundred more times, the official will still choose this way! "

Seeing the resolute look on Deng Wensheng's face, Chen Mu shook his head with a disappointed look.

He picked up a few pieces of paper scattered on the ground, put them neatly on the table, and asked faintly: "Is it a good relationship with you back then?"

Deng Wensheng frowned and said nothing.

"Later that guy was kicked out of Destiny Valley because he insulted his younger brother's daughter-in-law, and wandered around outside..."

Chen Mu smiled. "Such a poor character, but you are friends with him, Lord Deng is not good at understanding people."

"He is not my friend."

"Oh, is this going to separate the relationship?" Chen Mu sneered.

Deng Wensheng said coldly: "The official has frequent contact with him, it is only a matter of official business, and personal relationships do not exist. Chen Houye can go and investigate, and the official will never stop him."

Chen Mu sneered and said, "The people are gone now, how do I check?

But having said that, a beast who even his junior and sisters did not let go is a wicked person, and a beast with a human face and a beast heart is inferior.

In particular, Sir Alex heard that Destiny Valley recruited many female disciples who were younger than ten years old.

So I am a little skeptical that when you beat your own daughter to death, did you want to cover up some ugliness...such as the old man..."

"Chen! Shepherd!"

Deng Wensheng hadn't reacted at first, but when he heard the words behind, he gradually remembered, and his complexion suddenly became ugly.

Because of the extreme anger, the blue veins on his forehead violently, jumping and jumping, especially scary.

He rushed forward and grabbed the opponent's collar, pushed it against the dusty wall, and said angrily: "Chen Mu, you can talk nonsense, but don't slander my daughter!"

"Otherwise why did you kill her? Just because of a toy?"

Chen Mu spread his hands. "I don't understand it anyway."

Deng Wensheng's eyes were red, and his body trembled, like an irritated lion.

He warned every word: "Chen Houye, if you want to investigate, go to investigate, if you want to find someone, then go to find someone! But I warn you, don't make a fuss about my daughter's reputation, otherwise... The officer will definitely not let you go!"

Seeing that Chen Mu was still sarcastic, Deng Wensheng said again: "What's more, this official doesn't think that lonely wandering will do that kind of thing."

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

Deng Wensheng hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "Because Mrs. Han and Lonely Wandering were originally lovers. Back then, Lonely Wandering was related to another woman, so Madam Han was angry and married Han Dongjiang."

Lovers!

This clue was unexpected by Chen Mu.

He stared at Deng Wensheng and asked, "Who told you? Why didn't others say it, don't they know?"

"There are very few people who know about this, but they are indeed lovers."

Deng Wensheng's tone was cold. "This officer doesn't need to fool you here. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Destiny Valley to find Madam Han's room, and you will definitely find something. And you can also—"

At this point, Deng Wensheng suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Chen Mu with a very cold look.

"What's the matter?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

Deng Wensheng smiled and didn't smile: "Master Chen Hou is a good method. It turns out that he is not looking for your lady when he comes to the official, but is deliberately angering the official, trying to draw clues of lonely wandering from my mouth."

Seeing that the own trick was seen through, Chen Mu did not refute it, and said with a smile: "Yes, if I ask directly, would you say it?"

"No." Deng Wensheng shook his head.

If the other party asks directly, he doesn't want to bother at all.

Chen Mu sat back in the chair and made a cup of tea on his own: "Tell me about the old man of Tianji Han Dongjiang. What kind of person is he?"

However, Deng Wensheng did not want to talk to Chen Mu anymore.

He sorted out his official uniforms and said lightly: "The official still has to be busy with official duties, so I won't pay Master Chen Hou. Since Master Chen Hou is unwilling to leave, he will continue to stay here and leave."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the hut.

Chen Mu didn't stop, feeling the hot sensation from the porcelain, and sighed helplessly: "What an annoying guy."

Fortunately, after all, some information was extracted from the other party's mouth, which is also a gain.

Chen Mu took out a small notebook to record the clues, and fell into deep thought:

"If Dugu Shenyou and Madam Han were lovers before, then there is no need for him to force each other to insult each other, but...they are very likely to commit adultery!"

The man's eyes brightened, and some doubts in his mind began to be solved.

Perhaps that night, Lonely Wandering was a secret adultery with Mrs. Han, who was mistaken for Mrs. Han and was forced.

This is why the ‘physical evidence’ is conclusive.

The reason why lonely Shenyou admitted that he had insulted the other party was because he wanted to bear the charge alone.

After all, the matter of ‘adultery’ is very disgraceful.

Once leaked out, it will hit the woman's reputation even more severely and will be scolded by countless people. The end result will either be seclusion or suicide.

And this will also make own junior disciple faceless.

After that, I went out and wandered alone and didn't tell the truth, and it was for this reason.

But the last doubt, why did Mrs. Han suddenly die that night?

Since they were committing adultery, there was no need to kill each other alone, but the woman did indeed die in his arms.

Is it because someone secretly poisoned?

But with the Cultivation Base, which is lonely and wandering, can't it be noticed?

Besides, he is the last old man of Tianji, who is very proficient in divination, so he can't predict these things in advance?

These doubts are like tangled woolen knots, and perhaps only I can answer them.

Of course, the clues provided by Deng Wensheng cannot be fully believed. After all, we still find absolute evidence to prove that Madam Han and Dugu Shenyou are indeed lovers.

Chen Mu put away the little book, sipped his bitter tea, and after looking through some documents on the table at random, he left Deng Wensheng's house.

After passing through several lanes and using the "Things from the Heaven" to make sure that no one was being followed, Chen Mu re-disguised himself as a stranger and sneaked into the place where Manjiaye was, intending to visit Su Qiao'er.

But when he entered the house, a bad premonition surged in his heart.

A light smell of blood permeated the air.

There is no one in the house.

The broken tables and chairs could tell that there had been a fight here.

And the bed is stained with blood...
