Chapter 204 The Sister Who Was Eaten Out of Her Family 13
Luo Chen was reading a storybook in the room when Wen'er came to report: "Princess, Wu Yinglian said she has something important to tell you. Would you like to see her?"
"Ask her to come in."
Wu Yinglian walked in. The room was warm and filled with a refreshing fragrance. Luo Chen was leaning on the chaise longue. There were several plates of fruits and cakes on the small coffee table beside her. A maid was standing next to her making tea.
This was the first time Wu Yinglian felt warmth in more than a month. The weather in November was already unbearably cold. Her hands were soaked in cold water every day and were about to crack from the cold.
On the other hand, Luo Chen's hands were white and tender, with a jade bracelet on them, and her body was wearing warm satin that was tributed from the royal family.
It was like this in her previous life. No, it was even better than this, because she was the queen.
Luo Chen looked at Wu Yinglian, who had been staring at her blankly since she came in. He frowned and gave Wen'er a wink.
Wen'er understood what was happening and kicked Wu Yinglian, causing her to kneel on the ground. There was such a loud kick that her knees must have turned red.
"Did you come in just to daydream?" Luo Chen's voice reached Wu Yinglian's ears, making her tremble unconsciously.
"My lord, I have an important matter to report."
Luo Chen sneered: "What important matter can a servant like you who washes clothes report to this princess?"
"Yes, about your mother."
Luo Chen stared at Wu Yinglian with a stern look: "You don't seem to have seen my mother?"
Wu Yinglian trembled unconsciously; Luo Chen's aura was too strong.
"I, I did, I heard it from my grandma."
"What did you say?"
"I, I accidentally heard grandma say that it was she who poisoned and killed Princess Qing."
Luo Chen sat up suddenly: "What did you say?"
"I, I heard it with my own ears." Wu Yinglian trembled even more violently, and she felt like she didn't even dare to look up.
"Hehe, that old woman has been dead for several years. Who can prove what you are saying now?"
Wu Yinglian swallowed her saliva and said, "I did, I overheard..."
"Who did the old woman tell that so that you could 'accidentally' hear it?"
"me..."
Wu Yinglian didn't know how to explain.
Luo Chen walked down, lifted her chin, and said seductively: "Tell me, who poisoned her?"
Wu Yinglian looked at Luo Chen's bewitching eyes and said blankly, "My mother poisoned me."
Wen'er stared at Wu Yinglian with eyes wide open in disbelief.
And Magnet Wu Yinglian also came back to her senses, realized what she had said, and immediately kowtowed to Luo Chen: "Sister, this was done by my mother alone, it has nothing to do with me."
Luo Chen grabbed her hair and forced her to look up: "It has nothing to do with you, so how did you know?"
"I... My mother told me that she had a quarrel with my father once, and she said that if she hadn't poisoned Princess Qing to death, my father would still be humble now."
Luo Chen sneered: "So, Wu Yunxuan, would you rather be humble and live a rich life in front of my mother, or live a hard life with your head held high in front of your mother?"
Wu Yinglian naturally knew that it would definitely mean living a life of wealth and luxury. Who would want to live a hard life?
"Tell me the details of what happened."
Wu Yinglian hesitated for a moment, and was slapped by Wen'er: "Why don't you answer?"
Wu Yinglian quickly told everything she knew and then put her head to the ground.
Luo Chen's face was gloomy. He looked at Wu Yinglian and didn't speak for half an hour.
Just when Wu Yinglian felt like she was about to collapse to the ground, Luo Chen finally spoke.
"Since you know, let's go to court and tell it."
Wu Yinglian raised her head. She didn't expect that Luo Chen wanted to go to court. She came here today intending to pin the matter on Old Lady Wu in order to gain Luo Chen's trust. Anyway, Old Lady Wu had been dead for several years.
But somehow, she revealed her mother's identity. Now she has to go to court. What should she do? An ordinary murder case would result in the death penalty, not to mention that her mother killed a princess of the royal family. Then her whole family would die.
"Sister, I know my mother did something wrong, but, but if we go to court, then, then, wouldn't our whole family be killed?"
"So what? I am not in this family either."
Wu Yinglian looked at Luo Chen's indifferent expression, thought of her long-held guess, and asked, "Sister, are you someone who has memories of your past life?"
Luo Chen looked at her suspiciously and said, "Don't try any tricks. You must go to court, otherwise I can kill you right now."
Wu Yinglian quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "No, sister, this matter has nothing to do with me, please let me go, I was still young at that time, I really didn't know anything."
"Don't worry, as long as you tell me everything you know, I will let you stay in the Princess's Mansion. I won't let you die with your mother. After all, we were both kicked out of the Deng family, weren't we?"
"Yes, yes, thank you sister, I will definitely listen to you." Wu Yinglian's back was wet. It took a lot of courage for her to say this, for fear of being burned to death as a monster.
Luo Chen immediately told Prince An about this matter, and Prince An sent people to the Wu family to bring everyone back.
After arriving at the court, Deng knelt in a daze, looking at the county magistrate and Prince An who was sitting next to her, feeling extremely frightened.
She didn't know how such a secret old story was exposed. No one else knew about it except her, that is, the servant who was bribed back then.
But she only asked the servant to deliver a bag of pastries to Luo Chen and didn't say anything. Even when the servant came, she could find a way to push the matter away.
After Wu Yinglian came up and told the whole story of how Deng poisoned people, she looked at the woman next to her in horror. She looked familiar, but she had never seen her before.
When they found out that this was Wu Yinglian, Deng and the people in the Wu family were shocked. Wasn't their daughter missing? How could she be here and even accuse her mother of being the murderer?
Deng shouted that it was impossible and even said that her daughter Wu Yinglian was already dead and that this was a false accusation made by Luo Chen.
He was slapped twenty times on the order of the county magistrate.
Wu Yunxuan and Wu Yingjie looked at Wu Yinglian and cursed her, asking her why she wanted to frame her own mother. Was it just because of wealth and fame?
Wu Yinglian knew that there was no turning back. She had to gain Luo Chen's trust. She gritted her teeth and told him everything she knew.
Everything including how Wu Yunxuan seduced Murong Qing was revealed. Wu Yunxuan simply wanted to strangle his daughter to death.
It would be fine if she framed her own mother, but why did she drag him down? If she had known this, he would have beaten Wu Yinglian to death long ago.
