Chapter 163 Bizarre Murder Case
Wang Yuan wiped his face and cleared his throat vigorously. It took him several attempts to recover his voice. “It’s my first time dressing up as a woman. I’m not used to it.”
After saying this, he cleared his throat forcefully, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Zhou Feng smiled and teased him: "You know what, you look really good in a woman's costume."
Who would have thought that Wang Yuan, with such a ruffian face, could not only play the kind-hearted Master Huicheng, but also the beautiful and sorrowful middle-aged woman.
The most important thing is that he actually once played the role of a banished immortal-like imperial teacher. It is really incredible no matter how you think about it.
"The eldest lady is really amazing. She was able to find a capable person like you."
Wang Yuan put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "If I hadn't met the young lady, I would still be just a bandit who robs houses."
Whenever Wang Yuan thought of his old mother who was so excited and had hope again because of his reformation, he became more grateful to Song Yunxi.
He didn't dare to imagine what his situation would be like today if he hadn't met Song Yunxi. It was unknown whether he would still be alive.
Zhou Feng was thinking that he had always been prejudiced against Song Yunxi because of Song Muxue. Who could have thought that in just such a short period of time, Song Muxue's true colors would be revealed?
The prince is right. People can pretend for a while but not for a lifetime.
By the time Madam Ren arrived at Yunling Temple, Wang Yuan had already resumed his identity as Master Huicheng and was meditating and chanting in the Zen room.
Coming out of Master Huicheng's meditation room, both Madam Ren and Ren Xiangyu, the grandfather and granddaughter, looked unhappy.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Wen, thought something had happened and hurried over to ask, "Xiang Yu, what happened to your grandmother?"
After being married to the Ren family for so many years, she had never seen her mother-in-law look so distraught.
Other members of the Ren family also came over, waiting for Ren Xiangyu's answer.
Ren Xiangyu was also a little flustered: "Master Huicheng... Master he said... said..."
Ren Xiangyu's voice trembled and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for most of the day.
Ren Yanzhou, the eldest grandson of the Ren family, realized the seriousness of the matter and calmly comforted Ren Xiangyu: "Little sister, calm down and tell us what happened inside."
At this time, the grandmother was completely in a trance, and they could only learn what happened from Ren Xiangyu.
Ren Xiangyu calmed himself down with his brother's comfort: "Master Huicheng said that my grandmother and her beloved daughter were forced to separate since childhood. The day when mother and daughter will reunite after a long separation is just around the corner, but the day when mother and daughter recognize each other will also be the day when they will die."
Everyone in the Ren family was dumbfounded.
They came to Yunling Temple today to pray for Zhao Yunxuan's family and for the safety of mother and daughter, but why did Master Huicheng make such a prophecy?
Ren Qianlan grew up with Madam Ren and had never been separated from her. Even after getting married, because they lived in the same capital and Ren Qianlan had a domineering personality and suppressed her husband, she often went back to her parents' home when she was free.
So how come they were forced to separate since childhood?
When everyone was shocked and puzzled, Mrs. Ren suddenly thought of something and her pupils dilated. She tightly grasped the wrist of her eldest daughter-in-law Wen: "That woman...that woman this morning..."
This reminder also made Wen remember, and a terrible thought came to her mind: Impossible? How could this be possible?
Looking at his mother's expression, Ren Yanzhou was sure that something must have happened early in the morning.
"Mother, what woman?"
Wen glanced at her mother-in-law, then glanced at her family members who were eager to learn, and with difficulty told them the story of the middle-aged woman who was rescued from the capital early in the morning.
Ren Yanzhou did not think it was a coincidence and asked Wen for confirmation: "Mother, does that woman really look like my grandmother?"
Ren Xiangyu nodded and replied: "It's like they were cast in the same mold!"
Wen also said: "That woman looks very much like your grandmother when I first married into the Ren family."
A terrible thought suddenly occurred to Ren Yanzhou: "Where is that woman?"
Wen just shook his head.
Ren Yanzhou knew about Master Huicheng's fame, but he was reserved about his so-called knowledge of the mysteries of heaven and ability to predict the future.
Therefore, Master Huicheng did not necessarily believe what his grandmother said, but the fact that there was a woman who looked exactly like his grandmother brought out all kinds of complicated emotions in his heart.
Especially the words "the day of death" made him care.
But no matter what, we must find that woman first.
The mood of the Ren family was affected that day. After returning to the mansion, Ren Zhihai, who was originally happy to prepare a dowry for Zhao Yunxuan, dropped the glass bottle in his hand and broke into pieces after hearing what Master Huicheng said.
The originally happy mood was gone, and my mind was wandering and I locked myself in the study room for the whole night.
The servant beside Fang Yanzhou muttered casually, "Why does the old man look like he's worried about being exposed?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Grandfather has always loved my aunt, cousin and mother and daughter more than anyone else. My grandmother also always says that my aunt was raised by my grandfather and they were not close to each other since she was a child. All these details seem to reveal a fact that none of them want to face.
Late at night, when Ren Zhihai sneaked out of the house through the back door, Zhou Feng, who had been secretly watching him, followed him.
Three days later, a murder occurred in a house in the capital, attracting people's attention.
I heard that an old woman went to the house looking for her daughter, and asked the noble lady to return her daughter to her, and even threatened to reveal what happened that year if anyone dared to hurt her daughter.
The noble lady took a lot of silver and wanted to send the girl away, but the old woman was also stubborn and only wanted her daughter without the silver.
Later, for some unknown reason, the old woman was mysteriously hanged in front of the house.
But what aroused the curiosity of the people in the capital was not this, but that after investigation, Jingzhao Yin discovered that this magnificent house, which was not inferior to those owned by officials and dignitaries, was actually purchased by Ren Zhihai, the current Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was also under his name.
But the person living in this house is a lady who still has charm.
I heard that she has no children and her husband is away from home doing business all year round, so very few of the neighbors have seen her husband.
That’s not all. What made the crowd even more shocked was that the old woman who was hanged was actually a personal maid to the wife of Ren Zhihai, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
As a result, this incident became a hot topic in the city, and even if Ren Zhihai wanted to cover it up, he was powerless to do so.
Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of Old Madam Ren.
The vague suspicion in her heart became clearer and clearer, and she stood up tremblingly: "Take me to see it!"
The appearance of Old Madam Ren revealed the true identity of the noble lady kept in this house. No one had expected that the noble lady was the wife that Ren Zhihai had married in a formal ceremony when he was in the countryside!
