The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1175 - Chapter 1175 1175

Chapter 1175: 1175 Chapter 1175: 1175 Walking along the village road not far from the Xiao Family’s house, there were barely any people around, as most villagers had gone to do their work, or had gathered at the Zhu Family’s place to watch the excitement.

Su Qingyue said, “Third brother, set me down, I have something to tell you.”

Xiao Yuchuan put her down on the ground and stretched out his hand to smooth the hair by her temples blown askew by the wind.

Looking into his dark, shiny eyes, she did not want to hide the truth from him.

“Third brother, I really did kill someone.”

Xiao Yuchuan fell silent for a moment.

It was impossible for Zhu Daqi to have been killed by his wife.

The murder case she had just solved was flawless, with clear evidence and proof.

After a short while, he said, “You killed Qian Duotian.”

He already knew that Qian Zhang’s husband, Qian Duotian, had died exactly when his wife had come back to seek help for him.

Doctor Sun from the village could not determine the cause of death.

Even the doctor from the neighboring village had examined him and declared it a sudden death, presuming that Qian Duotian’s own underlying illness had abruptly claimed his life.

But the villagers all said that Qian Duotian died near Hanging Neck Mountain, claiming he had angered the female ghost of Hanging Neck Mountain who took his life.

Su Qingyue recalled, “Yes.

That night, I was desperately looking for someone to save you, and I was already in a bad mood.

I went to change clothes behind a house at the foot of the mountain, and I overheard Qian Duotian talking to his cousin, Qian Laixi.

That’s how I learned that the murder case of Zhu Daqi was being pinned on me.

When Qian Duotian realized he had discovered me, he wanted to rape me before bringing me to the government office.

In a fit of rage, I killed him.”

She sneered, “The world is indeed laughable; I was framed for a murder I didn’t commit.

Qian Duotian’s death, which I was indeed responsible for, went unnoticed and undetected, and therefore, disregarded.

The Official Residence always follows the policy that if there is no accuser, there is no investigation.

Qian Duotian’s death was merely treated as an accidental illness.

Coincidentally, the two Qian brothers were disputing over property.

Qian Zhang married into the Qian Family, and it was said that Qian Duotian was discontent with Qian Zhang and wanted to remarry, while Qian Duodi was willing to stay with Qian Zhang.

With Qian Duotian dead, Qian Duodi got all the Qian Family’s property, and Qian Zhang didn’t mind losing a husband who didn’t want her.

Qian Duotian’s death was truly in vain.

Even though it is disregarded, I ultimately killed a man.

Third brother, I didn’t want to hide this from you.

If you mindaEUR|”

“I don’t mind!” A flash of anger crossed his eyes, “Qian Duotian deserved his death, and it’s good that he’s dead.

Even if he were alive, I would not have let him off!”

He hugged her once again into his arms, “Wife, since you’ve been with me, you’ve endured so much injustice.

It’s my fault, as your husband I failed to protect you adequatelyaEUR|”

The thinking of ancient people was often very rigid.

Su Qingyue was deeply touched.

Third brother did not hold any grudge against her for having blood on her hands.

If he had minded, she really wouldn’t have known what to do.

However, she also trusted her own judgment.

After the two returned to the Xiao Family, Xiao Qinghe, who was waiting in a wheelchair in the yard, immediately moved towards them using the chair wheels, “Third brother, Qingyue…

you guys…”

“Don’t worry, fourth brother,” Su Qingyue said with a smile, “The case of Zhu Daqi has been solved.

The killer was Zhu Nengwen, and it has nothing to do with me.

This matter is finally over.”

She briefly explained what had happened to him.

Xiao Qinghe’s worried heart finally settled.

What Su Qingyue didn’t mention was that the first time she and Xiao Yuchuan had conducted an autopsy on Zhu Daqi, they had already suspected Zhu Nengwen to be the killer.

Zhu Nengwen had been eavesdropping outside the firewood room at that time, and to calm Zhu Nengwen and prevent him from fleeing out of fear of the crime, she deliberately did not reveal the true autopsy results and purposely claimed to suspect Li Gui.
