Chapter 5 Crisis Opportunity

"Pah! Rebellious girl! Why did you harm your sister? Why don't you just bring her down?"

Du Shengping looked at Du Heng who was kneeling quietly on the ground without saying a word for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold himself back and gave Du Heng a hard slap in the face.

Half of Du Heng's body was turned away from the beating, and his face became hot and swollen quickly.

Du Heng wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with a slight smile on his face, as if she was not the one who was beaten:

"What does father want me to say? The Xue Mansion sent us back, and the eldest sister is not dead. Isn't this the best proof?"

"You still want to make excuses! Although your eldest sister is not dead, she is still unconscious. Who knows if you tried to do harm and pretended to save people, but actually left her half dead!"

"What my father said makes no sense. It is a fact that my eldest sister was hit hard on the head. It was not easy for me to pull her back from the edge of the underworld. There is really no way to guarantee that she can be alive and kicking.

The people from the Xue Mansion made this very clear when they sent us back. This happened in the Xue Mansion, and they will investigate it clearly.

My daughter has tried her best to preserve the evidence. The ground on the other side of the rockery is muddy and wet, and no matter how messy the shoe prints are, only the eldest sister and the murderer can be found out after several comparisons. As long as the father asks the Xue Mansion for the truth."

Du Heng's clear eyes hid a depth of determination and indifference as deep as the sea. Du Shengping didn't feel alarmed when he looked at her. This daughter, who usually didn't look amazing, had grown into something he didn't dare to ignore.

"Everyone who was watching at Xue's house knew very well: If I were the murderer, I wouldn't have to do this; everyone even knew that I would not be the murderer. Why did my father, who was the young minister of Dali Temple, choose to do this first?

Don’t you believe this?”

"Shut up!"

Du Shengping turned around in embarrassment because of Du Heng's questioning. When he heard this, he faced Du Heng face to face and yelled at him:

"You asked me not to doubt you, so why did you point the finger at your second sister again! Your second sister just told me the facts: you do have a lot of suspicion!"

Du Heng did not refute, but changed the subject, "Father, actually my daughter did this all for you."

Du Shengping almost laughed in anger. After he sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea: "Then tell me, what did you do for me?"

Du Heng stood up:

"My father is running around for the position of Minister of Dali Temple these days. If the eldest daughter dies in someone else's house, the younger daughter is still a suspect. If the censor is involved, it will be a blessing for the father not to be guilty of lax management of the family. What's more,

Does Xiao Xiang want to be the minister of Dali Temple?

By then, the marriage between the daughter and the Xue family will also be cancelled, and the Xue family will also complain a lot about the father. The scandal of sister killing sister happened to happen to other families...

But the daughter rescued her eldest sister and let everyone know that this was a tragedy that happened in Xue's house;

The eldest sister became a living dead, and it was too late for the Xue family to feel guilty. How could they question their father?

Besides, now that everyone has left Xue Mansion, they will never find the real murderer again."

Du Shengping was greatly shocked, as if he didn't even recognize this daughter. Is this the same little daughter who was silent and like a piece of wood in the past?

Du Heng smiled, as if he knew what he was thinking,

"Father, everything I have done is for our Du family. I have been wronged for so many years, and it was not until I was killed today that I realized that it is useless to hide my weakness and give in;"

After saying that, he stared at Du Shengping with a bewildering look: "Father, don't worry, I will do my best for our Du family~"

The tone of her words was so meaningful that people couldn't help but indulge in it. Du Shengping even nodded for some reason, and Du Heng touched half of his swollen face and said goodbye before he left.

As for the eldest lady who was listening behind the screen, her palms were scratched with blood by her long nails without even realizing it. What a Du Heng, what a Du Ruolan!

Neither of these two scoundrels is good!

When she saw Zhi Lan returning home like this, her heart was broken. She forced herself to come over, just to ask in person why Du Heng wanted to kill her sister! Then she accidentally overheard the conversation between her and her husband.

Now it seems that Du Heng's rescue of Zhi'er was purely out of her own selfishness;

And the person with the greatest suspicion is clearly that charming Du Ruolan!

Thinking of this, the eldest lady returned to Du Zhilan's house and personally grabbed the maid who was busy with Du Zhilan: "Jing Xiao! Tell everything truthfully!"

Jingxiao had always known the eldest lady's skills, and seeing her cannibalistic look, she quickly kowtowed:

"Madam, please forgive me, madam, please forgive me. I really don't know what caused the eldest lady to look like this!"

"You just need to tell me everything you know!"

So, Jingxiao cowered and told the eldest lady exactly what she had told Du Heng.

The eldest lady has been in charge of the family for so many years, and she immediately caught her suspicions:

"Du Heng and Zhilan don't have a good relationship. Why would you think of going to Du Heng instead of the wife of the Xue family to find Zhilan? The Xue family is obviously more familiar with the terrain of the rockery."

Thinking of this, the eldest lady's heart felt cramped again. If the Xue family had found Zhilan earlier, would their daughter be alive and kicking now?

"The servant was really panicked at that time. It was the second young lady who said, the eldest lady doesn't decide what to do now. Let's look for it privately first. If it was a false alarm and made the master unhappy, wouldn't it just increase the trouble? Then let the servant go find the fourth child.

Miss, she will go find other ladies who are familiar with the eldest lady..."

The eldest lady's hand holding the corner of the table has turned white. It was a false alarm. Even if there was a 100% chance that Zhilan would be killed, for her, it would be an irreversible disaster!

As a housewife’s intuition, Du Ruolan is most likely the murderer!

***

After Du Heng returned to the house, he let Jingse take the cooked eggs and handkerchief to apply on her face. She didn't care much about her appearance, but she just thought that today's incident might be an opportunity for her to have more opportunities in Du's house.

With the right to speak, you can walk more freely.

Moreover, he needs to push Du Shengping to the position of Minister of Dali Temple. Only with a higher vision and authority can she avenge her family faster.

Lin Zhijun's father was the minister of Dali Temple who took office. This position is still vacant.

However, it was a pity that Du Zhilan's life was lost. Du Heng felt that he had a clear conscience in treating Du Zhilan, but after all, she was not a doctor and had no medical skills. She only tried her best to save people based on what was written in medical books.

As she said, a dead horse is a living horse doctor.

Du Zhilan was a good girl, but now she was hanging half-dead. Moreover, she suffered a severe head injury. Even if she woke up, she would not know what the situation was like.

Du Heng had no time to grieve for others. All living beings were suffering, and she was still burdened with the lives of eighty-two members of her family.

Right now, she has a very important place to go.
