The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Meng Yunzheng in the Cell

Shu Yu saw this and felt a chill in her heart.

Since Lord Jing had come straight to the point, Shu Yu also didn’t hold back and asked directly, ”Yes, may I ask Lord Jing, where is he now, and what happened in the Gong Family?”

Lord Jing invited her to sit, took a sip of tea himself, hesitated for a moment, and then asked her in a low voice, ”Have you been to the Gong Family?”

Shu Yu shook her head, ”I haven’t been there. I just took a detour there yesterday, passed by the entrance of the Gong Family, and saw...”

”Saw the white cloth hanging at the gate of the Gong Family?”

Shu Yu nodded, ”Who in the Gong Family has had an accident?”

”The Second Young Master of the Gong Family.” Lord Jing put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and asked, ”He should have told you about the Gong Family, shouldn’t he?”

This ’he’ referred to Meng Yunzheng.

Shu Yu nodded, knowing it wasn’t him who was in trouble, she felt somewhat relieved.

The Second Young Master of the Gong Family was the son of Gong Qiu’s concubine, but because Madam Gong had no children, this bastard was given to her to raise, thus considered the legitimate son of the Gong Family.

Originally, before Meng Yunzheng was recognized back to the Gong Family, this one was the Eldest Young Master of the Gong Family.

However, this Second Young Master was frail and sickly, seen by Gong Qiu as a son who could die at any moment.

Because of this, Gong Qiu took the risk to bring Meng Yunzheng back to the Gong Family. At least this son was healthy, even if he wasn’t very bright due to inhaling too much smoke in a fire.

Unexpectedly, the Second Young Master of the Gong Family held on for so many years, and in the end, he still passed away.

But Shu Yu had no sympathy for him at all. She had learned a lot about the Gong Family from Zhao Xi and knew that the Second Young Master and Madam Gong had often conspired to frame Meng Yunzheng.

He even had a twisted mentality due to his illness, with a rather reckless attitude, and his means were really underhanded.

Even in death, he deserved it.

However, Lord Jing’s next words left Shu Yu utterly stunned.

He said, ”The murderer is Gong Xiao.”

Gong Xiao was the name Meng Yunzheng used in the Gong Family.

Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, and almost decisively denied, ”Impossible.”

It wasn’t that she thought Meng Yunzheng wouldn’t do it. Given his decisive and ruthless methods towards Zhang Shu, digging out his eyes and cutting his tongue, it showed he wasn’t a merciful person. He had no feelings for the Second Young Master who had once framed him, so taking his life posed no burden at all.

What Shu Yu meant by impossible was that she felt even if Meng Yunzheng did it, he would definitely not let others find out, especially at such a critical moment.

Lord Jing observed Shu Yu for a moment, then suddenly laughed, ”You’re right, it’s indeed impossible. He didn’t kill him, but he deliberately let others think he did.”

Shu Yu frowned, ”Where is he now?”

”In the central judicial office’s cell.”

Shu Yu’s expression changed slightly, and her hand holding the cup slightly tensed.

After a while, she looked up and asked solemnly, ”Can I see him?”

Lord Jing seemed to be considering it, but his expression was relaxed and carefree, making it seem like it wasn’t a difficult issue.

Sure enough, he nodded quickly, ”You can see him. Tomorrow morning, dress up as my attendant and come with me to the central judicial office.”

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, ”Then thank you, Lord Jing.”

Lord Jing waved his hand. He had other matters to attend to and couldn’t stay at home longer. After meeting Shu Yu, he gave her some instructions before leaving.
