Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1265 - 1271: Exposure (6)

He said with a cold smile, "I remember the day you first entered the mansion, you even suggested beating Wang Cai to death with a stick. Now how come you trust him so much? That bracelet is expensive; how could you trust him to sell such a valuable item?"

Du Wanqing said sorrowfully, "I know he isn’t reliable, but I had no choice. I don’t know anyone else, so I had to let him do it."

While they were speaking, Yingyu came to report, "Young Master, Ying Tianfu has sent Wang Cai back. He’s waiting outside the second gate!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Zili gritted his teeth and said, "Bring him in. I want to interrogate him myself."

Hearing this, Du Wanqing trembled, her face unnaturally pale with scratches covering it. Standing by her side, Old Lady Zhang was even more frightened, trembling ceaselessly and barely able to stand.

Mo Zili gave Du Wanqing a cold glance, sneered lightly, and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as Mo Zili left, Old Lady Zhang, overwhelmed with despair, said, "Miss, what should we do? That boy Wang Cai will definitely confess everything. Please think of something!"

Du Wanqing, with a pale face, murmured, "Heaven does not favor me. Who would have thought that a dozen men couldn’t kill one person and even let her be captured alive?"

"Ah, Miss, stop saying these useless things. What should we do now? Ah! I am suffering because of you!" Old Lady Zhang, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, paced endlessly around the room, having thrown all decorum to the back of her mind.

Du Wanqing clenched her fists and said, "There’s no other way, just insist that the bracelet was with you to sell. Otherwise, both of us will have no place to bury our corpses!"

Wang Cai was even less courageous than Du Wanqing had thought. When brought into the courtyard and seeing the charcoal basin and various punishment tools there, he began wailing like a pig being slaughtered.

"Young Master, young master, I beg you on the account of the fact that I have grown up with you since childhood, spare this slave’s life. It was nothing but a moment of confusion that led me to do such a thing; I won’t dare again!"

Saying this, he knocked his head on the ground "thud thud thud" before Mo Zili, soon breaking his skin.

Mo Zili sat majestically in the grandmaster’s chair in the center of the courtyard, watching Wang Cai, who knelt on the ground, gloomily. After a long pause, he spoke chillingly, "Who instructed you to do this! Confess!"

Without hesitation, Wang Cai said, "It was Miss Du who sent Old Lady Zhang to find me, instructing me to do this. She even said the Young Master disliked Young Madam very much and would rather she die, implying you had tacitly consented. I believed her because I saw that you indeed liked only Miss Du and disliked Young Madam, so I found someone to carry it out, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to, even if I had ten times the courage. I beg you, young master, to see clearly, I was merely deceived into committing such a foolish act, spare my life..."

Having said this, he knocked his head before Mo Zili again.

Mo Zili scoffed coldly, "Deceived? What about those three hundred taels of silver and the purple jade bracelet?"

Knowing he couldn’t hide it, Wang Cai cried, "That was the reward Miss Du gave. She told me to bring some men to gang rape the Young Madam and then kill her..."

"You’re talking nonsense, you’re lying—"

Du Wanqing burst out of the room, pointing at Wang Cai and screaming uncontrollably, "I only asked you to handle a bracelet for me! When did I ask you to kill the Young Madam? It’s clear you harbored evil intentions knowing the Young Madam owned the manor by herself. When exposed, you push the blame onto me, that’s truly despicable!"

Wang Cai was startled by Du Wanqing suddenly rushing out!

The Du Wanqing in front of him was terrifying, her face red and swollen like a giant steamed bun, squeezing her once captivating large eyes to mere slits, and her face also covered with worm-like scratch marks irregularly arranged, looking extremely disgusting!
