Chapter 764: Desperately Smearing (5)_1
Mother Qian dragged her aside and demanded to know if it was Pei Qin, Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, or someone else who’d bribed her.
Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed at her armpit and ribs. The wet nurse cried out, proclaiming her innocence.
Despite the commotion, Pei Wensheng had still not appeared. Qian Wanxiu silently prayed he had gone out and would not show himself too conspicuously, to prevent drawing the target onto him.
Lady Zhu cursed the poisonous and vicious siblings, Pei Qin and Pei Qian, wishing them a terrible death, urging Pei Zongli to draft a legal complaint accusing Pei Qin of hiring someone to commit murder, "Even if she holds the rank of Third Rank Enjoin, for murder there must be retribution! A prince would still be judged as any commoner if guilty of a crime, and being the mastermind of a murder, she will definitely not escape the charge! Sue her! We must have her jailed and beheaded to avenge my poor grandson!"
With all the shouting and accusations, but eyes wide open in death, bulging outward with a dark and ghastly complexion, that horrifying sight struck fear in them all.
Pei Zongli sat nearby, sobbing and swearing through clenched teeth, "I will never let off those who caused Wenjie’s death! I will ensure they descend to the eighteenth level of hell! They will not die an easy death!" He reached out to close Pei Wenjie’s eyes.
Meanwhile, the nursemaid kept crying and wailing non-stop, but she would not confess.
Mother Qian whispered coldly into her ear, "The young master died because of you. Even if you won’t confess, you’ll still pay with your life! After you die , your man and your child will carry the stain of being murderers. You won’t be able to live in Yuanyang County, and existence will be worse than death. If you confess, you’ll be an accomplice, and while the principal will be beheaded, you’ll just face imprisonment, not lose your head. Think about it carefully."
The nursemaid gasped in pain, crying and shaking her head, "I didn’t harm the young master! It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me who did it! It was Lady Chen, Lady Chen who killed the young master!"
