Chapter 462: Wei Lanxi, who was used for

"??!"

Shi Qingli was completely dumbfounded, his mouth open wide enough to fit a fist, the brow that had been knotted now completely relaxed, leaving only a face full of blankness and shock.

As if he hadn't heard Chen Yan's words clearly, or as if he had heard them but couldn't digest them at all.

He froze in place, even forgetting to breathe, his eyes falling straight on Shi Xiuyun on the ground.

In his mind, only the two sentences "Sister-in-law was pregnant before marriage" and "Shi Xiuyun is not Big Brother's son" kept circling.

"......"

Shi Qingli beside him was even more dumbfounded, his previously trembling body completely fixed, standing in place as if cast by a immobilization spell.

His lips moved, but he couldn't say a word, the fists he had clenched slowly loosening, his fingertips still trembling unconsciously.

This layer-upon-layer truth had long exceeded his cognition, leaving him without the strength to even refute or pursue the question, only full of absurdity and shock.

Gao Jiong, standing on the side, rubbed the saber at his waist unconsciously, a hint of imperceptible interest flashing in his eyes, muttering to himself: "This Shi family, they are really interesting!"

And what Gao found most interesting was that Madam Yang who recruited a son-in-law while pregnant...

Even if her lover abandoned her, she still chose to give birth to her lover's child.

She loved him so deeply!

Chen Yan pursed his lips, his fingertips gently rubbing his chin, speculating: "This official thinks that eight months later, when Madam Yang gave birth to Young Master Shi, Master Shi probably already noticed..."

He paused and continued to analyze: "It's just that at that time, the Yang family's business was still in the hands of Madam Yang's parents, so he could only choose to endure it!"

Eight months after marriage, his own wife gave birth to a full-term child...

As long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, he would notice the trickiness in it.

But Shi Qingwen, as ruthless as he was, chose to turn a blind eye, so it must be that the things he wanted hadn't been obtained yet...

"That's right!"

Shi Xiuyun raised his head abruptly, under his disheveled hair, his eyes churning with monstrous hatred, his teeth chattering, his voice filled with gritted-teeth hatred: "After my grandfather passed away, the old thing designed to trick the power from my mother's hands, and finally he revealed his vicious fangs..."

Every word was like a poisoned knife, hating Shi Qingwen's hypocrisy and ruthlessness, and also feeling sorry for his mother's gullibility and tragic fate.

If it weren't for his mother not being deceived by the old thing's fake exterior and holding the power firmly in her own hands, perhaps there would be no threat to her life...

Chen Yan looked at the hatred churning in Shi Xiuyun's eyes, the corners of his lips curling into a half-smile, his slender fingers snapping lightly, and he spoke slowly: "Precisely because of this, Young Master Shi wanted to make Master Shi die in extreme pain, while at the same time ruining his reputation!"

Chen was very clear that Shi Xiuyun not only wanted revenge, but also wanted to make Shi Qingwen pay the most thorough price for his evil deeds over the years.

Both body and reputation must perish.

And Shi Qingwen didn't move directly against Shi Xiuyun, but did those things, according to Chen Yan's speculation, probably to take the humiliation given by Madam Yang...

And retaliate on her son!

To satisfy the frustration of many years.

"Wait!"

After taking several deep breaths, Shi Qingli, who had come back to his senses, swept his gaze over everyone in the room, suddenly fixing on Wei Lanxi, who was pinned by the bailiffs on the other side.

His brow furrowed abruptly, his chaotic thoughts from the truth impact clearing up a bit, and he immediately questioned with full confusion: "Then how did these two collude together?"

Immediately, he pointed his finger at Wei Lanxi.

If it were said that Shi Xiuyun's poisonous hand was "for a reason," then what about this woman?

She was Big Brother's second wife, what was the purpose of helping Shi Xiuyun and conspiring with him?

Wei Lanxi, pinned to the ground, had been hanging her head in silence, but now, hearing Shi Qingli's questioning, she slowly raised her head, her hair disheveled, but her eyes were exceptionally deep, without half a panic, saying word by word: "Because I didn't want to die!"

This remark made Shi Qingli even more confused, furrowing his brow and pursuing: "What do you mean?"

Shi Qingzhao beside him also nodded repeatedly, his face full of incomprehension: "Big Brother, why would he move against you?"

In their view, killing Shi Xiuyun was understandable, but killing her had absolutely no reason or motive!

After all, Wei was Big Brother's second wife, young and beautiful, there was no reason to bring about a fatal disaster, and they couldn't figure out why she would collude with Shi Xiuyun.

Shi Xiuyun suddenly let out a cold laugh, his voice filled with mockery, looking in Shi Qingli's direction and saying: "The old thing's body has been getting worse and worse lately, perhaps because he did too many evil things and suffered retribution..."

"Lanxi's entry into the mansion was for 'blessing by marriage'!"

Wei Lanxi clenched her fists abruptly, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, picking up Shi Xiuyun's words, her voice filled with gritted-teeth hatred, her eyes churning with undisguised viciousness: "That old thing even wanted me to be buried with him!"

As she spoke, her chest heaved violently, obviously stirred by this past event, even the bailiffs pinning her down subconsciously tightened their hands.

She, a woman in the prime of her youth, was willing to marry an old man just for a life of luxury and wealth...

But the old thing, in order to pave the way for the true eldest son Shi Woyu, to avoid her fighting for the family property, prepared to eliminate the hidden danger from the root.

She, Wei Lanxi, still had a great youth, how could she sit and wait for death, to be buried with the old man?

Shi Qingzhao was stunned for a long time before finding his voice, suddenly realizing something, looking at Wei Lanxi with a locked brow, his tone full of doubt: "How did you know about these things?"

No matter how stupid a person is, they couldn't possibly speak of these things...

Let alone someone as shrewd as Big Brother?

If he wanted this woman to be buried with him, how could he not guard against her in advance?

Shi Xiuyun curled his lip in disdain, his tone full of mockery, looking in Shi Qingli's direction: "The old thing is getting on in years, now he likes to drink heavily!"

"Third Uncle, you should also know that once a person drinks too much, they can't control their mouth..."

Between the lines was undisguised ridicule.

Wei Lanxi pursed her red lips and took over the conversation, her voice carrying a hint of chill: "It just so happened that I was serving by the old thing's side at the time..."

"The things he spat out were quite a lot!"

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head to glance at Su Linyue beside her, her tone instantly becoming yin and yang, "Including his illicit affairs!"

"So, I found Xiuyun to join forces the first time!"

Wei Lanxi remembered very clearly that when Shi Qingwen was drunk, he mistook her for his late second wife...

And poured out all the secrets he had been holding in his heart.

In order to save her own life, and even more for the glory and wealth of the second half of her life, she had to send the old thing on his way.

And Shi Xiuyun was the perfect partner sent by Shi Qingwen!

Because they had a common enemy!

Su Linyue stiffened all over, suddenly realizing, sighing softly, "So that's how it is!"

She had said she was so secretive, how was she discovered...

It turned out the problem was with that drunkard who had no gate on his mouth.

Chen Yan pointed his finger at Wei Lanxi on the ground, a hint of interest in watching the show flashing in his eyes, and he added excitedly: "And that's not all, Madam Wei's son is also Shi Xiuyun's seed!"

As he spoke, he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from lifting.

This is simply the Great Zhou version of Thunderstorm!

"Lord Chen Yan is absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Lanxi did not dodge at all, slightly raising her chin, admitting frankly: "Ayi is indeed Xiuyun's bloodline!"

Every word was loud and clear, completely tearing apart the last layer of fig leaf.

Su Linyue on the side instantly broke down, her expression suddenly becoming ferocious, staring fixedly at Shi Xiuyun and Wei Lanxi, her body trembling violently from extreme anger, the accumulated humiliation and hatred instantly erupting, roaring hysterically: "You... you... adulterous couple!"

Her children were miscarried one after another by them, her body was hard to conceive again, while Shi Xiuyun already had bloodline...

Shi Xiuyun looked at Su Linyue, his eyes full of disdain and contempt, and retorted unceremoniously: "Su Linyue, what qualification do you have to say this!"

"You are the most shameless one!"

"Cough... cough cough!" Shi Qingli listened to these ugly things one by one, and was instantly anxious.

He suddenly clutched his chest, his body unable to stop swaying.

Immediately after, he coughed violently, a mouthful of fresh blood coughing out through his fingers, dripping onto the blue bricks, shocking to the eye.

"What a pity!"

Shi Xiuyun sighed long, full of helplessness and loneliness, slowly raising his eyes to look at Chen Yan, his eyes complex, carrying a hint of unwillingness, and also carrying a hint of resignation: "Our meticulous planning, but met with you, Lord Chen Yan... eventually falling short!"

Time, fate, luck.

If it weren't for this person, he and Wei Lanxi might have really succeeded...

The smile on Chen Yan's face instantly converged, his expression becoming serious, the aura around him sinking a bit, stepping forward half a step, his gaze falling sharply on Shi Xiuyun, saying in a deep voice: "Actually, this official also has a question that needs Young Master Shi to enlighten me..."

He paused, saying the only question he cared about: "Where did your medicinal means of controlling Master Shi's sanity come from?"

Shi Xiuyun pursed his lips, full of frankness, and replied truthfully: "That was some time ago, a mysterious person came to me..." ===== CHAPTER 463 =====

Shi Xiuyun pursed her lips, looking completely composed, and replied truthfully: "That was some time ago, a mysterious person approached me..."
