Chapter 540 Help
Xiao Mubei was pulled by Chu Yunxi and hurriedly walked a few steps before he quietly reminded her, "Qingxi and Qingyue..."
Chu Yunxi then remembered that the two girls were still there. She was so busy that she felt dizzy. She slapped her forehead and turned around and shouted, "Qingxi, Qingyue, go to the small courtyard and rest for a while. Don't leave. We will be back soon. We still need your help with something."
The two girls quickly agreed and went to the small courtyard happily, while Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi came to Lin Shize's cell again.
Lin Shize leaned against the wall half-dead. Xiao Mubei's kick just now was very heavy, and his chest was still in severe pain. He felt that he was about to die, but when he thought that Lingyue was still safe and sound, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Although he knew that if he died, Lingyue would definitely find someone else to continue her unfinished work, and she would also be intimate with him and be affectionate to him, but Lin Shize did not feel jealous at all. Instead, he felt happy that Lingyue was happy.
Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi coming again. He closed his eyes again, obviously wanting to continue his previous policy of keeping silent.
But how could Chu Yunxi do as he wished? This time she squatted directly in front of Lin Shize, holding a torch in her hand, illuminating Lin Shize's face clearly.
"Lin Shize, do you think I can't get anything out of you if you don't speak? I know that the child in Madam Li's belly is yours, right?"
The corners of Lin Shize's lips twitched slightly. Although he immediately held back, Chu Yunxi had already noticed it. She curled her lips, "Your expression has already told me that you are the one who raped her and made her pregnant. She must hate you very much. If you are caught, she will definitely applaud because she won't have to see you again."
The muscles on Lin Shize's face trembled slightly. Chu Yunxi knew that he was trying his best to endure it, so she said, "What a pity! You were caught, and she escaped. In the future, your child may have to call someone else their father, and Madam Li will eventually have someone else's surname. From the beginning to the end, she never had your surname before her name."
Lin Shize's expression seemed to gradually relax, and he murmured softly, "As long as she is happy."
Chu Yunxi frowned. What was going on? Hearing that his woman was marrying someone else, why did Lin Shize act as if it didn't matter? Was she wrong? Did he have no feelings for Madam Li at all?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yunxi changed her words, "But it doesn't matter. She probably won't have the chance to marry anyone else. Do you think that if she can disguise herself, we won't be able to catch her?"
Lin Shize suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Chu Yunxi. Although he didn't say anything, Chu Yunxi already had the answer. A smile spread across her lips. She stood up, patted her waist, and said with a smile: "Your reaction has already told me the answer. Well, just wait here with peace of mind. Soon, your confidante will be here to accompany you."
Lin Shize's eyes were red with anger, "You cheated me?"
"So what?" Chu Yunxi took two steps back, and Xiao Mubei stood in front of her. Lin Shize did not take any action after all, but his red eyes showed that he was very angry at the moment.
On the way out, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, let Qingyue help Li Shaoqing find the person. She is quite proficient in disguise and can spot someone who has disguised themselves at a glance. If Madam Li has disguised herself, she will definitely not be able to hide it from her eyes."
Xiao Mubei immediately called the constable to find Li Jinghong. Chu Yunxi added, "I still feel that something is wrong with Lin Shize. His reaction is contrary to common sense."
Xiao Mubei felt the same way. "You think that his overreaction to the news that Madam Li would be arrested suggests that he loves her very much. But if he truly loves her, how could he not mind her being with other men? This is a bit contradictory."
Chu Yunxi raised her eyes to look at him, "The prince has also discovered it? That's it."
Xiao Mubei said slowly: "Because I am a man, if I am about to die and let you happily marry someone else, I will also be heartbroken. So if I put myself in his shoes, I know that his reaction is wrong, but why is it like this, I can't figure it out."
Chu Yunxi said, "I think we should ask Qingmei to come over and take a look at this matter."
Xiao Mubei immediately understood, "Do you think he's been poisoned too?"
"It's just a guess and has yet to be confirmed." As the two were talking, they had already walked back to the small courtyard. Qingyue and Qingxi came to greet them. Chu Yunxi told Qingyue about helping Li Jinghong find the suspect. Qingyue readily agreed. Li Jinghong also came back soon, taking Qingyue with him, and the two went out again to search for Mrs. Li.
Qingmei was also summoned soon. After visiting Lin Shize in the prison, she reported back that it was confirmed that Lin Shize was poisoned by the Heart-to-Heart Gu. After being poisoned by this kind of Gu, the person's heart and eyes are filled with only the person who cast the Gu. As long as the person is happy, he will be willing to do anything.
Chu Yunxi finally confirmed that the one who was more proficient in Gu was actually Madam Li. She could use Gu to control Lin Shize, and Lin Shize could also use Gu to kill people. This only meant that Madam Li's Gu skills were better than Lin Shize's, so she could successfully plant Gu in him.
After knowing this, Chu Yunxi hurriedly asked Qingmei to go with Qingyue to search for Madam Li. Madam Li is so good at using poison, so Qingyue and Li Jinghong must not fall into her trap.
Two days later, Li Jinghong finally caught Madam Li Lingyue, who had disguised herself, in a suburb far from the Dali Temple. When she was caught, she had already pretended to be weak and attached herself to another man. Fortunately, Li Jinghong and his men had been searching closely for her, so she hadn't had time to plant the Gu in that man. Seeing the people from the Dali Temple, she was filled with disbelief. Unfortunately, Qingyue tore off her mask and sneered, "You're a little naive to try to disguise yourself in front of me."
Qingmei confiscated all her Gu at once, even drawing out the Tongxin Gu in her body. Lingyue was completely desperate. Her two unique skills, disguise and planting Gu, were so easily broken by the two girls. She had no other tricks up her sleeve.
After Lin Shize was cured of the Tongxin Gu, he finally woke up from his dream and realized that he had been treated as a pawn by Lingyue for so many years. He obeyed her orders and helped her do so many evil things. In the end, when he was caught, she immediately discarded him like a rag and quickly found someone else, making all his efforts a joke.
Lin Shize was originally a scholar and regretted what he had done. Before Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to interrogate him, he sent a message to them through the jailer, saying that he wanted to confess.
