Chapter 10 (5)

South of Bingzhou City, Di Jinghui's mansion.

Chen Qiuyue's cold tone sounded in a quiet room. She said expressionlessly, as if she was talking about a story that had nothing to do with her: "When King Wu Chengsi of Wei was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, his father became his confidant. In fact, this is not a big secret. After all, it is impossible to be able to serve as the chief minister in a major town like Bingzhou for many years and take charge of all military and political affairs in Bingzhou. It is impossible to live up to the deep trust of the King of Wei. However, my father has always been cautious in his actions and has never revealed his respect for the Wu family on the scene.

The special reliance of the King of Li Tang also maintained a good relationship with many officials close to Li Tang. At the beginning, I married Jing Hui for this reason. But in private, my father had already cooperated with the King of Wei and changed all the officials of Bingzhou to the Wu clan loyal to the King of Wei. About five years ago, the King of Wei was unable to take the position of the prince for a long time, so he secretly planned to advise the emperor. If the emperor refused, he would even prepare for rebellion. It was at that time that my father had his brains on Jing Hui."

"Jing Hui?" Di Renjie murmured.

Chen Qiuyue nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes. Jinghui was already a wealthy businessman at that time, especially when he was managing medicinal materials. Therefore, whether it was his wealth itself or the rare medicinal materials he held to save lives and treat injuries, it made his father and his accomplices with other intentions covetously. His father always tried to tempt him on weekdays. From Jinghui's words, he always felt that he was unruly and even dissatisfied with you. Therefore, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. So he asked his wife to persuade Jinghui to participate in the conspiracy of the King of Wei, and promised that after the matter was completed, he would either be awarded the title of king or help him dominate the entire Dazhou Medicine Market. In short, it was all kinds of temptations to Jinghui and attempt to pull him into the water."

When Di Renjie heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, I'm afraid there is a reason for Chen Songtao to do this. After all, pulling Jing Hui into the water is equivalent to capturing my arm and elbow, which is such a vicious plan."

Chen Qiuyue said: "Yes. But what my father didn't expect was that Jinghui flatly rejected all my father's proposals. This was completely beyond my father's expectations, which made him very upset, shocked and scared, and worried that Jinghui would report their plans to you in this way. However, Jinghui did not do this. He promised me and my father that he was really not interested in the Li Wu dispute. As long as my father's behavior did not hurt you, he could let it go and not reveal a trace of it to you. But from then on, he became increasingly cold to me, and he got closer to Lu Yanran in Heying Villa. Later, he even made a public appearance, completely disregarding his wife's face, which made me completely disappointed..."

Di Renjie sighed, shook his head, and did not speak.

Chen Qiuyue raised her face full of tears and said, "Dadfather-in-law, in fact, this is what my wife knows. Since what happened five years ago, not only Jinghui has become disgusted with me, but my father also blames me for being unable to contain my husband's heart and lack of ability to let Jinghui be one with us. From then on, he no longer reveals his plan to me. He only instructs me to do things when I need to work hard. But in fact, you have also seen that since Jinghui and I have already looked good,

Li, just maintaining the face of a couple, my words will not play a big role in him. I just feel something vaguely when he is doing. My wife and daughter have long been abandoned by my husband and father." She hummed softly from her nose and said coldly: "Father-in-law, Qiuyue, I have already lost my life. If I hadn't been able to give up my children, I, I..." She couldn't continue and just sat blankly.

Di Renjie looked at her, but he didn't want to say anything comforting. In fact, there was nothing comforting to say. He walked to the door silently, turned his back to Chen Qiuyue, and whispered: "Qiuyue, what you said is very important, I thank you." After that, he stepped out of the door.

Chen Qiuyue looked at the old man's back with tears in her eyes, with a look of relief on her face, and a cold smile even hung on the corner of her mouth, but the smile seemed to come from another world, separating her from the bright and bright room with red candles. Is all this finally coming to an end for her?

After Di Renjie and Chen Qiuyue finished talking, he did not leave Di Jinghui's mansion immediately. He came to Di Jinghui's study and quickly compiled a book with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. After calling Di Chun, he gave a few instructions. Di Chun nodded repeatedly, hurriedly took the letter and came back soon, reporting to Di Renjie: "Master, you have found a proper person to send the letter out. Don't worry, no one has been monitoring it yet. Haha, unlike our mansion, we have already formed an iron bucket."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Jinghui has already asked Chen Songtao to be imprisoned. Only Chen Qiuyue lives here. Naturally, he will not send anyone to monitor his daughter. However, there must be many Chen Songtao's eyes and ears among the servants here. Chen Songtao probably knows what I talk to Chen Qiuyue at this moment, maybe he is rushing here. Well, since he is coming, we should leave. Di Chun, go back to the house!"

"yes!"

Di Chun served Di Renjie into the carriage, and the group left Di Jinghui's mansion and headed towards Di's mansion in the north of the city. Di Renjie sat upright in the car, lifted the curtains and looked into the sky. A bright moon hung high, reflecting the strangely quiet night. However, the night seemed to be a little different from usual. The deep blue sky was faintly visible at the far end of the deep blue sky. Di Renjie frowned and looked at the rare touch of bright red for a long time. An indescribable concern and worry suddenly rose in his heart, and a deep sense of ominousness, which instantly made his whole body cold. He couldn't help but scream: "Di Chun, look, what's going on?"

"Ah?" Di Chun hurriedly looked in the direction of Di Renjie's finger and muttered: "Master, it seems that it is..."

"What seems to be?!" Di Renjie shouted.

"It seems to be a fire."

"Fire, fire?" Di Renjie repeated several times and asked again: "Di Chun, what direction do you think is that?"

"Master, it looks east, it should be the east end of the city."

"Well, that's not Linhe Inn. Linhe Inn is in the north of the city...what would happen to the east of the city?" Suddenly, he made up his mind and ordered: "Di Chun, let's go to the east and take a look."

"Ah?! Master, it's been four days since the fourth day, you..."

"Hey, there's no need to talk so much, I'll take a lot of time to bend it."

A quarter of an hour later, Di Renjie's carriage arrived in front of the Land Temple in the east of the city. The Land Temple was still burning. The inner-level chief was directing some people to put out the fire. Some people gathered around him, talking.

Di Chun helped Di Renjie out of the carriage, and felt Di Renjie's arms trembling constantly. Di Chun was also very nervous, swallowed and said, "Master, I'll go over and ask."

"Yes." Di Renjie felt his throat was dry and he couldn't spit out a word.
