Chapter 1634: Pretending to Be Righteous

The Imperial Master had only heard of the human skin mask but had never seen it in person, but today he was suddenly surprised.

But he did not show any surprise, fearing that he would appear ignorant. He just pretended to be calm and watched Wei Chou take off the mask, and then put it back on with the help of the young guard beside him, Zhong Ziyu.

After Wei Chou had fixed himself, he turned to look at the Imperial Master and told him the purpose of his visit: "Someone on your ship went into the water yesterday, right? Liu Wei saw it from a distance, so I came to ask if you found anything?"

The Imperial Master was not very happy when he mentioned this, and he said with a gloomy face: "Dead."

Wei Chou asked: "What's dead?"

"The person who went into the water."

Wei Chou: "..."

The Imperial Master briefly recounted what happened on the deck yesterday, and finally emphasized Li Qin: "If nothing unexpected happened, it was Li Qin who helped Prince Lin behind the scenes, but he is a playboy, how could he have the ability to find out about the ruins? He even colluded with Prince Lin. I really can't figure it out."

Zhong Ziyu fell silent, he knew nothing about Li Qin and Wang Qin.

Wei Chou pondered for a while, slapped his thigh for a long time, and said: "I was wondering why it sounded so familiar, it was him."

"Do you know him?" Zhong Ziyu looked at Wei Chou.

Wei Chou's title of gossip prince is not for nothing. He snorted and said, "Zhu Shu, do you remember the little maidservant who followed Liu Yue in Qingfeng Town? I met her after returning to Beijing."

The incident of the mermaid pearl was very serious at the time. Liu Wei brought his whole family to Qingfeng Town to investigate. Finally, after finding out that the incident was related to the national teacher, Liu Wei led his family back to the capital first, but Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu were left behind. They said they were dealing with the aftermath, but in fact they were just doing hard labor.

Wei Chou raided the yard of the butcher at that time, dug out the bones of the women and buried them together, but when they looked back, they found that the instigator had escaped. At that time, because they were afraid of being punished by Liu Wei, Wei Chou came up with a bad idea. Thinking that Liu Yue and Liu Wei had never gotten along, why not take Liu Yue's head and make amends in front of Liu Wei when they return to Beijing?

Regardless of whether Liu Wei really wanted Liu Yue's life, Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu really did it at that time. However, when they were about to do it, they suddenly found that another group of people had gotten ahead of them, that is, the people sent by Madam Yun to eliminate Liu Yue.

In order not to give up the fat meat in hand, Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu fought with the other party on the outskirts of Qingfeng Town that night, discussing how to distribute Liu Yue's body.

At that time, Liu Yue was not dead, but was frightened by them. When the two sides finally reached a consensus and were about to kill Liu Yue, Liu Yue was rescued by a mysterious man in black. When they caught up with the man in black, they found that the other party took Liu Yue away not to save her, but to kill Liu Yue before them, and even took out her uterus alive.

Liu Yue died just like that, and died in a miserable state, covered in blood, but in this way, the body would be difficult to distribute. Finally, Zhu Shu couldn't bear it any longer, so she suggested that Liu Yue's body be buried on the spot. If Wei Chou and the others wanted to prove that they really participated in killing Liu Yue, she could help as a witness after entering Beijing.

But strangely, after entering Beijing, Liu Wei did not ask them about letting the butcher go, and from beginning to end, he never mentioned Liu Yue.

Wei Chou thought that Liu Wei didn't mention it, and he was mentally ill to take the initiative to mention it, but he also knew in his heart that Liu Wei should know everything. After all, the little black bird named Zhenzhu was also with them at the time. When the little black bird returned to Liu Wei, it must have complained immediately and told everything it knew.

In short, because Liu Wei did not blame him, Wei Chou escaped, so he thought that he didn't need Zhu Shu as a witness, so he didn't contact her.

But half a month later, one day, Wei Chou unexpectedly ran into Zhu Shu on the street. Zhu Shu was wandering in a daze. Wei Chou called her out of acquaintance, but Zhu Shu turned around and walked away, walking faster and faster.

Wei Chou didn't understand what he meant, and out of curiosity, he chased after her.

After blocking Zhu Shu in the deep alley, Wei Chou insisted on asking her about the matter. Zhu Shu then said with a gloomy face: "Liu Yue... When Liu Yue died, she was pregnant..."

Wei Chou did a lot of evil in his life, but he didn't do anything to the old, weak, pregnant, and disabled. Therefore, when he heard that Liu Yue was pregnant, he was absent-minded for a while, and then he reacted: "Liu Yue was not killed by us, but by that man in black..."

Having said that, they can be considered to be to blame.

Wei Chou was also upset at that time, so he asked Zhu Shu: "How did you know?"

Liu Yue had been dead for half a month, and the matter had long been settled. Is there any need to bring it up now?

Zhu Shu didn't want to tell Wei Chou because it involved the secrets of the Xiangfu, but later he was pestered by Wei Chou and told him: "The child in Liu Yue's belly is the eldest young master's..."

What the hell?

Isn't Liu Yue the concubine of the Xiangguo? How did she get pregnant and become the seed of the Xiangguo's son?

That time was also the first time Wei Chou heard the name Li Qin.

Li Qin is the eldest son born to Mrs. Yuan of the Xiangfu, but because his stepmother Yun was in power, he became the least favored person in the Xiangfu. He lived a repressed life since childhood, and his personality became twisted when he grew up. Li Qin has a hobby. He likes to sleep with his father's woman. He is very excited to control his father's concubines, and his rebellious behavior has never been a secret in the mansion.

Rumors about Li Qin in the Xiangfu have never stopped, so every time Yun took out her mistress's airs to discipline and punish Li Qin, the other masters in the mansion would not ask. When the Xiangguo was cuckolded for the first time, he wanted to strangle his son to death. The other elders in the Xiangfu watched Li Qin grow more and more perverse and vicious, and their initial pity turned into hatred for him.

This time, Zhushu accidentally learned about Liu Yue's pregnancy when he was serving Yun and happened to hear Li Qin quarreling with Xiangguo.

In fact, Liu Yue and Li Qin had been in an affair more than once or twice. Earlier, Yun had already made the decision to abort Liu Yue once. It was also after that time that Xiangguo was disappointed with Liu Yue and tacitly agreed that Yun would send his new concubine to the remote village of Qingfeng Town.

But Liu Yue herself didn't know about this. She thought that the child in her belly was Li Qin's, and no one knew about it. She thought that Yun was jealous of her favor and had an abortion for her. She thought that the prime minister didn't help her because he was afraid of Yun, the tigress. She never thought that the dirty things she did had chilled the hearts of those who wanted to treat her well from the beginning.

And Liu Yue didn't know her fault. When she was in Qingfeng Town, she still had contact with Li Qin.

But Li Qin saw that she was exiled and had no interest in dealing with her. Later, Liu Yue wrote a letter to him, and Li Qin secretly came to Qingfeng Town to see Liu Yue.

It was also that romantic affair that caused another secret pregnancy.

Zhu Shu only knew these things after returning to the prime minister's mansion, and after knowing them, her mood was greatly affected, and she was irritable for several days.

Now that she met Wei Chou and vented all these things, she felt relieved. After a while, she said, "After this quarrel, the eldest young master has been driven out of the mansion by the master."

This incident happened a long time ago, so Wei Chou really took a while to remember the name Li Qin.

After hearing what he said, the other two also fell silent. After a while, the national teacher said, "So someone is taking advantage of the situation and using Liu Yue's new womb to pretend to be a mermaid pearl to deceive me?"

Wei Chou slapped the national teacher on the head, making the national teacher's head "clang", and then cursed loudly, "I'm talking to you about serious business, and you only think of this?"

The national teacher turned away with a gloomy face without saying a word.

There are three people present, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, you and I are all the same, none of us is a good person, but the only difference is that the National Master does not know about Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu's past, but Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu know about the National Master's dirty deeds, so now that Wei Chou is acting righteously, the National Master really has no way to refute him.
