Chapter 542: It’s Fu Mingzhu
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
With a light “clank,” someone lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire sickle.
Yuwen You, dressed in a black robe, turned around and smiled at Jiang Shanshan, saying to Yuwen Cong, “Little brother doesn’t know that she used to admire my sixth brother so much, she wished she could give everything to him, right? About that bed crossbow, she personally told me that she gave my sixth brother half of the blueprint. Maybe, this crossbow was initially given to my sixth brother and then used to deceive us. Ah, this time it was just an unsuccessful assassination of Fu Mingzheng, not many people died yet, but I’m worried about the bed crossbow. If my sixth brother has a more powerful bed crossbow, the loss would be the city and tens of thousands of people.”
“I didn’t give it to him! I only gave him half of the blueprint, and he didn’t ask for it,” Jiang Shanshan glared at Yuwen You resentfully. “Why are you trying to harm me like this?”
“It’s not me harming you, I’m just speaking the truth,” Yuwen You sat down and calmly said, “Otherwise, how do you explain this crossbow incident?”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Yuwen Cong and said with a faint smile, “Little brother, you are clever. Do you think this is possible? I’ve heard before that some women are willing to sacrifice themselves and infiltrate the enemy camp as spies for their beloved ones. Maybe she’s like that too. Look how infatuated she is.”
Yuwen Cong silently looked at Jiang Shanshan, not saying a word.
This put immense pressure on Jiang Shanshan. After experiencing Yuwen You’s cruel treatment, Yuwen Cong became her greatest protector. His intelligence gave her hope of getting rid of Yuwen Chu and Fu Mingzhu, and he didn’t enjoy tormenting people like Yuwen You did. He provided her with the best doctors and medicine, a comfortable life, and as long as her requests didn’t cross the line, he would try his best to fulfill them.
Of course, she had to cling tightly to his thigh to ensure her survival and revenge. But tonight, Yuwen Cong, for the first time, showed signs of anger towards her. This indicated that Yuwen Cong was very angry.
Jiang Shanshan was afraid that Yuwen Cong would be instigated by Yuwen You and then mistreat her again. She shouted, “I know! It’s Fu Mingzhu!”
After shouting this sentence, she felt a lot lighter. Yes, it was done by Fu Mingzhu. Whatever accidents or mistakes happened, it was all Fu Mingzhu’s fault. Fu Mingzhu and she came from the same place. Since she knew about the drip dew pot, she might also know about the crossbow. No wonder Yuwen Chu didn’t like her! No wonder Yuwen Chu could resist such a big temptation! It’s because Yuwen Chu already got what he wanted!
Jiang Shanshan suddenly realized that she lost because of this! Fu Mingzhu, this scheming woman! She pretended to be innocent and ignorant on the surface but did everything in secret, everything was done in advance! She stole her man, her position, her future, and caused her to end up like this. How could she underestimate Fu Mingzhu like this? If given another chance, she would be the first to kill Fu Mingzhu.
Jiang Shanshan felt helpless and angry, gritting her teeth, “It’s Fu Mingzhu. You don’t know yet, she knows a lot of things. She shot me with a sleeve arrow last time, and there’s also that drip dew pot…”
She exaggeratedly described what Mingzhu might or might not know to Yuwen You and Yuwen Cong: “Otherwise, why do you think Yuwen Chu didn’t want the good things I gave him, but chose to find her? And why did he scatter his concubines for her and favor her alone? It’s because it’s profitable!”
Yuwen You’s heart suddenly surged with waves. Was it really like this? Did Fu Mingzhu really know these things he didn’t know? Could she, who always seemed ruthless and aggressive, understand these things? But thinking about what Fu Mingzhu had done recently, he resolutely affirmed Jiang Shanshan’s words. It should be like this.
Yuwen Cong asked with great interest, “I know about the drip dew pot. Go on.” When Fu Mingzhu cleaned up Jiang Shanshan using the drip dew pot, he and Teacher Zhu personally witnessed the entire process. At that time, Teacher Zhu had just come from the northwest, so it was easy to inquire about the origin of this pot. Although there was not enough evidence to prove that the pot was passed on by Fu Mingzhu, they could be sure that the pot didn’t stay in the northwest for long. Therefore, what Jiang Shanshan said might be true. It was a big pit dug by Fu Mingzhu to deal with Jiang Shanshan.
Therefore, if Yuwen Cong wanted to dominate the world and get rid of Yuwen Chu, he had to get rid of Fu Mingzhu first.
“I want to know why you and Fu Mingzhu understand these things? I’ve never heard that noble families in the capital teach girls these things,” Yuwen Cong signaled his men to help Jiang Shanshan up and sit back in her wheelchair.
Jiang Shanshan revealed a mysterious smile, “This is a long story.”
Yuwen You and Yuwen Cong exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Jiang Shanshan wanted to talk about her situation from another place, but changed her mind when the words came to her mouth. She now realized that the more she said, the worse it would be. Haven’t they heard of those secret books and scriptures? These people should believe in that more.
She cleared her throat, “Do you know the Jade Emperor Temple?”
Yuwen Cong knew but wasn’t familiar with it.
Yuwen You not only knew but also remembered it with embarrassment and pain. Because it was here that Fu Mingzhu and he formally tore their faces apart, officially hooked up with Yuwen Chu, and she even slapped him hard, of course, he wouldn’t forget this place. He gritted his teeth and said, “So what?”
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Shanshan knew where his anger came from, feeling a little pleased, and continued, “The Jade Emperor Temple holds a miraculous book that records many useful things. What I know is all learned from there. At that time, I accidentally found it and planned to take it home, but unfortunately, the opportunity didn’t come, and I couldn’t take it away. When I went to find it again, it was gone. I thought only I knew about it until Fu Mingzhu, using the incident with the drip dew pot, forced me into a difficult situation, and I realized that the book was actually in her hands.”
Jiang Shanshan looked at Yuwen You and Yuwen Cong’s expressions and saw their unpredictable expressions, then said again, “Look at Ying Wang, and you’ll know that Fu Mingzhu knows far more than I do. Who knows how many good things are still hidden in that book. So I say, if you want to get rid of Yuwen Chu, you have to get rid of Fu Mingzhu first.”
Yuwen Cong had someone push Jiang Shanshan down and turned to look at Yuwen You, asking, “Does Your Highness believe her words?”
Yuwen You was somewhat distracted, and replied indifferently, “Whether to believe it or not doesn’t matter. Anyway, Fu Mingzhu being with Yuwen Chu is very unfavorable for us. Bringing her here, whether to kill her or interrogate her, is all good.”
