Chapter 212 Self-blame
Sui Wenjun's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up again. She smiled pretending to be relaxed, with a sincere look in her eyes.
"Father, you are joking. This matter is of course related to me. My brother and Young Master Ye both died at their hands."
When Sui Wenjun talked about this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "So my daughter also wants to know, who killed my brother?"
Hearing this, the head of the Ye family who was sitting in the upper seat snorted coldly. His sharp eyes fell on Sui Wenjun, looking at him with a bit of scrutiny.
Noticing that her father's eyes seemed different from before, with a bit more murderous intent, Sui Wenjun swallowed nervously, not knowing what she had done wrong.
Or did I say something wrong?
Otherwise, why would her father look at her like this?
Just as he was thinking, Sui Wenjun heard the voice of the head of the Ye family, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Since Wenjun wants to know the identity of the murderer so much, why not... let Elder Ye tell you."
Hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Sui Wenjun's eyes. Since even the murderer has not been caught, why bother listening to the whole process?
Anyway, she only looks at the results. If there are no results, it means these guards are useless!
The same thing happened to Elder Ye. He went with his father, but he didn't catch anyone.
As expected, the Ye family is now full of useless people who rely on their age and seniority to bully others. They can’t even catch two strangers. It seems that they have to rely on her!
Sui Wenjun thought secretly, not knowing what she was about to face, so she pretended to be well-behaved and stood there.
She glanced at Elder Ye who was walking over, a gentle smile appeared on her lips, and she whispered, "Then I'll trouble you, Great Elder."
Although she didn't really want to hear it.
"Yeah." Elder Ye nodded, then came to Sui Wenjun's side.
She thought Elder Ye would create an illusion and then make it up based on her memory, allowing her to see the murderer's appearance again. Unexpectedly... Elder Ye condensed powerful spiritual power in his hands and slowly placed it on top of her head.
At that moment, Sui Wenjun felt as if something was forcefully invading her mind. She frowned in pain and almost couldn't help but scream out.
"No!" As if he had guessed what Elder Ye was going to do, Sui Wenjun's face suddenly turned as pale as a corpse, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Before she had time to resist, her frightened eyes gradually became confused.
Sui Wenjun was still struggling in her heart, and she cried out desperately: "Father, please don't search my soul! I am willing to tell you the truth!"
If a cultivator whose soul is searched is not careful, he may become stupid at best, or even lose his soul!
Unfortunately, no matter how much Sui Wenjun struggled, no one could understand what she was crying out in.
At this moment, Elder Ye stretched out his other hand and drew a circle. After the white mist quickly dissipated, the scene in Sui Wenjun's memory magically appeared on it.
Seeing this scene, the expression on the face of the head of the Ye family gradually became serious, and he stared closely at the scene in Sui Wenjun's memory.
When he saw Sui Chunsheng being besieged and killed by the guards, the head of the Ye family frowned, but soon returned to normal.
Not long after, the picture presented changed to another one. At this moment, the face of the head of the Ye family was terribly gloomy. He witnessed the tragic death of Ye Tingfang with his own eyes.
The murderer he had been looking for was right in front of him but he didn't know it, and he was fooled around, so he offended a promising young man.
Patriarch Ye was furious, and the look he cast on Sui Wenjun was as vicious as if it were poisoned. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sui Wenjun! You are really great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Ye could no longer control himself. He raised his hand, condensed his spiritual power and hit Sui Wenjun accurately.
The elder of the Ye family who was still beside Sui Wenjun quickly left his original position when he saw this. Only a scream of "Ah" was heard, and Sui Wenjun was like a kite with a broken string, and was directly hit by the palm of the head of the Ye family and fell outside the yard.
She looked dazed and her eyes were blank. She couldn't even figure out what was going on. Then everything went black and Sui Wenjun fainted. Her breath became weaker and weaker.
"Come here! Drive this vicious person out of the Ye family, and that woman too!" The head of the Ye family was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. And that "woman" was Sui Wenjun's mother...
Mrs. Ye, who had just arrived, saw this scene and understood what was going on. She couldn't help but clench her hands under her wide sleeves and glanced coldly at Sui Wenjun who was lying on the ground and gradually losing his breath.
Letting her die like this would be too easy for her!
Madam Ye was unable to vent the anger in her heart. Her only child, whom she had gone through so much trouble to get, was killed by these two illegitimate children.
And now, she didn't even have the chance to avenge her child.
Madam Ye lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them. Without saying anything more, she turned around and left quickly with the maid behind her.
Sui Wenjun is dead, but there is still someone in her hands!
……
The next morning, warm sunlight shone through the window.
Mu Nanyue, who had already washed and dressed, went to knock on Pei Yinghuai's door. As soon as she withdrew her hand, she heard the door creak open.
At this moment, Pei Yinghuai appeared in front of her with a handsome face that looked like a work of art by nature. Mu Nanyue subconsciously took a few steps back.
The two looked at each other. Pei Yinghuai coughed lightly with an uneasy look on his face, and then asked, "Why is Miss Mu here? Don't you need to take care of your own business?"
He was clearly speaking softly and had a faint smile on his face, but Mu Nanyue always felt that he was being sarcastic.
She had agreed to leave and do her own thing, but she didn't expect to run into him again.
Seeing his insincere expression, Mu Nanyue smiled helplessly, trying hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, "You are injured, I can't let you go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yinghuai's lazy gaze finally fell on her, and then he turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
Mu Nanyue raised her eyebrows, said nothing more, and walked in.
She seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped, turned around and asked leisurely: "By the way, the medicine you took yesterday..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
Pei Yinghuai, who was following behind him, didn't expect Mu Nanyue to suddenly stop and turn around, and the two of them collided face to face.
Caught off guard, Mu Nanyue had already touched his chest, and the tip of her nose instantly turned red.
Mu Nanyue frowned slightly, reached out and touched the tip of her nose, and heard a worried voice in her ear: "Yuer, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanyue looked up at Pei Yinghuai who had already taken two steps back. At this moment, his face became even paler.
Pei Yinghuai was just a little angry before, and he was not really angry that Mu Nanyue abandoned him. After all, although he was persistent, he also knew that seeing Mu Nanyue and staying by her side now was better than spending tens of millions of years alone.
Didn't mean to hurt her.
Seeing this scene, Mu Nanyue lowered her head guiltily, "It hurts a little..."
After hearing this, Pei Yinghuai felt even more guilty and regretted his previous actions.
