After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 25: Reopening the Yun Family Case
"Hanhan, don't be afraid. Tongzi is here and won't let anyone hurt you."
Facing Tongzi's consolation, Yun Zhihan was not happy at all. Instead, he questioned, "Why didn't you stop Zhao Tuo when he grabbed my arm just now? Humph! Tongzi, you are so eloquent."
"No!" Tongzi immediately argued, "Because I didn't sense any ill intentions from him just now. I just felt that he wanted to stop you."
"Humph! I don't trust you! You old man are very bad."
The system was speechless and shut its mouth obediently, but after a while, it reminded again, "Hanhan, you should at least take care of the Yun family's affairs."
"Haven't you already upgraded? Why are you still tricking me into doing a mission?"
"No, finding out the truth about the murder of Yun's parents is the condition for you to be reborn in the book. If you fail to do so, you will be cursed with broken wings in mid-air again."
Yun Zhihan's face fell instantly. Is it really that hard to lie flat? Forget it. After all, it was the Yun family who left her so much dowry that allowed her to have no worries about food and clothing. She should seek justice for them.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Jinshang to find Aunt Xu, one of the only people who knew about the incident.
"Madam, Aunt Xu is here." Jin Shang reported.
"Invite someone in."
After saying that, Aunt Xu followed the maid into the house.
"I send my regards to Madam."
"No courtesy, please sit down."
Yun Zhihan sent Jin Shang out and got straight to the point, "Aunt Xu, last time you said that there was something strange about the cause of my parents' death, do you really mean it?"
"My life belongs to Madam, how dare I say such things?"
"Then what do you know?"
"What are your plans, Madam?" Aunt Xu wanted to make sure that she and her daughter were safe, otherwise she would never tell these words to others.
"Don't worry, I won't sell you out. If the matter is exposed, Yuan will be a good scapegoat."
Having said that, without any evidence, Aunt Xu still found it hard to believe her words.
Seeing that she remained silent, Yun Zhihan offered a condition, "If you are willing to help me, I can agree to two conditions. First, kill Xie Songqiao. Wasn't he also responsible for the Marquis's death?"
"Secondly, after the matter is completed, I will send you out of the mansion, and from now on, you will be a free person."
"Are you serious, Madam?" Aunt Xu was moved. This was the place she dreamed of escaping from.
"Really? I am willing to sign a written agreement and promise you that I will do it, but you also have to promise that what you say must be true, otherwise don't blame me for breaking my promise."
"Madam, please rest assured. I would never dare to tell a single lie."
Yun Zhihan nodded, took out a pen and paper, wrote down what he had just promised, and handed it to Aunt Xu.
"Can we talk now?"
"Okay." Aunt Xu recalled the scene when Xie Songqiao talked with his confidants.
She didn't know the specific situation, she only vaguely heard some trivial things. At that time, she was just a maid, and she was ordered by Yuan to keep an eye on the master to see if he was having an affair outside.
Once, she hid outside the door and heard the whispering of the master and his confidants from inside. The voices were very low, but the words were clear.
Xie Songqiao asked his confidants to find people to intercept the Yun couple's commercial vehicle on the designated day, and then push a huge rock down the mountain, causing an unexpected landslide.
His confidant asked him what would happen if he failed. Xie Songqiao told him confidently that this would be a sure success. Later, the two changed the topic and the matter was closed.
After hearing this, Yun Zhihan did not suspect anything, because the original book also described it this way: Yun's parents were going to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase goods, and they encountered robbers on the way, and their merchant car was robbed.
However, misfortunes never come singly. While escaping, they encountered a landslide, and the Yun couple and their servants were all crushed to death. No one escaped.
When the mistress of the original book heard about it, she cried for three days and three nights and mourned for her parents for a whole year.
At that time, she and the Marquis had just been married and Bai Yuan had just been born.
"Do you know who Xie Songqiao's confidant is? Where is he now?"
Aunt Xu shook her head. "He died not long after the incident. I heard he was hacked to death while beheading the robbers."
"Well, killing someone to silence them is perfectly normal." Yun Zhihan said with regret, "Do you know anything else? About my parents?"
"No, ma'am."
"Have you told Yuan about this?"
"No!" Aunt Xu shook her head repeatedly, "How dare I tell her about this? I'll lose my head."
"Okay, go back first. Don't tell anyone about today's conversation. Go out through the back door later."
"Understood. I will take my leave now."
Jin Shang sent the person out, and Yun Zhihan asked the system, "Tongzi, is what Aunt Xu said true?"
"Hanhan, what she said is true. Here is a melon about Xie Songqiao. Do you want to eat it?"
"Say it!"
"According to the dates in the original book, the two elders of the Yun family should have died around May of the seventh year of Chongguang. I looked through all the gossips about that month and finally found relevant news."
"On May 9, Xie Songqiao colluded with a group of robbers to discuss the landslide and the plan to rob commercial vehicles, and demanded that the loot be divided among them."
"At that time, Xie Songqiao only got a small portion and was very dissatisfied with it, but he dared not speak out, as if there was a big boss behind the other party."
"Can you find out who it is?"
Tongzi was helpless. "Sorry, Hanhan, I can only find gossip about people you have met, not others."
"Half-crippled Tongzi." Yun Zhihan cursed angrily.
"Humph! You just scold me."
But Yun Zhihan was puzzled. In the original book, it didn't say that Xie Songqiao had any deep hatred with Yun's parents. Why did he have to kill them?
"Because he has had a crush on you for a long time."
Tongzi's words made her even more confused, "When did this happen?"
"The Yun family's parents often took Madam Yuanshu to the shop. They once ran into Xie Songqiao. He was fascinated by your beauty, but he had already married Yuan at the time. He wanted to trick you into getting you first and then talk about it later."
"After he followed you for a month, he mentioned this to the Yun family's elders, but your parents directly refused."
"Especially Yun Heli, who has traveled extensively for many years. He saw at a glance that Xie Songqiao was an untalented person. After some investigation, he found out that he was not only a bastard, but also a hypocrite who lived a life of debauchery."
But Xie Songqiao was unwilling to give up and came to disturb the Yun family again and again, but the Yun family simply refused to let him in.
Yun Zhihan nodded after listening to this. It was really too much that the author of the original book did not mention such a thing at all. Such an important plot was ignored.
"Then why did the original mistress marry Xie Songlin? They are brothers, why did Father Yun agree to this marriage? Isn't he afraid that his daughter will be bullied if she marries him?"
