Chapter 179 Can you give me some silver?
The Fairy of Supreme Goodness appeared dazed, bewildered, and unwilling.
"I've already come this far, I already have such a powerful backer, as long as the Empress Dowager is alive, no one will dare to touch me! So many people in the entire capital are begging for my favor and trying to curry favor with me! I don't need to be absolutely sure of everything! Someone will clear all the obstacles for me! Why, why! Why did I fall into your hands! You're just a country bumpkin, you have a grudge against Sheng Yunzhu, why do you have to pick on me!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs, her eyes already bloodshot.
The reason she was so fearless was because she had the Empress Dowager backing her up. She wasn't even afraid that what she did would be exposed. No one would let such a thing be exposed, because it concerned the Empress Dowager's reputation. Even the Emperor would find a way to cover it up.
The only person she dared not provoke was the Crown Prince.
Knowing that the Crown Prince wasn't as gentle as he seemed, she always tried to avoid him. But because of Lu Yangyang, this young girl, she was repeatedly dragged into his affairs!
The last time it was because of the jinx, and now it's because of her again!
Lu Yangyang was indeed not a jinx, but her nemesis!
As long as she doesn't fall into the hands of the Crown Prince, no one will dare to touch her!
The Fairy of Goodness was both crying and laughing, unsure whether she had lost to Lu Yangyang or to fate.
Lu Yangyang had no time to listen to her inner monologue. She directly stepped on her foot and crushed her bone with a little force. The pain made the Fairy of Goodness's face contort and cold sweat pour down her face.
“I have no interest in what you’re thinking. All the sins you’ve committed will be settled with you, both before and after your death. This is the retribution you deserve.”
"I'll ask you one more time, what is your relationship with Sheng Yunzhu? Was it Sheng Yunzhu who orchestrated Uncle Cheng's attempt to abduct me yesterday?"
Lu Yangyang stared coldly into her eyes, then pressed down hard on her foot again.
“I, I don’t know,” Shangshan Fairy said weakly. “I owe her a favor, so last time I helped her slander you as a jinx who brought misfortune to Madam Lan of the Duke of Sheng’s mansion. Apart from that, I have no relation to her whatsoever.”
"What favor?" Lu Yangyang pressed.
“Ah Liang, my younger brother, was once caught gambling and almost had his hands and feet chopped off in the street. She happened to pass by and pleaded for him.”
"What about the three heart-nourishing pills you gave her a few days ago? If it was just a favor, would she need to repay it with three heart-nourishing pills?"
The Fairy Maiden replied weakly, "I didn't give it to her. The number of Nourishing Heart Pills is limited. Once they flow out of my hands, it's not up to me to decide who ends up in. If you want to trace the source, then go ahead and do it. I'm powerless to change anything now. Your grudges have nothing to do with me."
After saying that, the Fairy of Supreme Goodness closed her eyes, looking as if she were completely at your mercy.
Lu Yangyang gritted her teeth, so angry she wanted to slap her to death, but a sinner as heinous as her should die on the execution ground, in front of everyone, not at her hands.
Lu Yangyang left the room where Shangshan Fairy was being held, feeling frustrated. She carefully reviewed what Uncle Cheng had said at the time, that the person who had instructed her was a young Taoist nun. At that time, she was so attracted and shocked by their child trafficking that she forgot about this.
Lu Yangyang turned and went to the room where the little Taoist nun Han Dong was being held. Han Dong was not like the seemingly powerless Shang Shan Fairy. She was trembling with fear and her eyes were red from crying.
Upon seeing Lu Yangyang, he began to sob and beg for mercy: "Miss, please spare my life! I really didn't know what they did by abducting children. The fairy only told me to give money to buy people. I really didn't know..."
"Uncle Cheng said that you were the one who instructed him to abduct me last night, is that right?" Lu Yangyang stared at her. "If you tell the truth, I might be able to help you out."
Han Dong immediately shook his head: "I don't know you at all, why would I want to plot to kidnap a girl? That thief must have taken a bribe and used this as an excuse to frame me. I have no grudge against the girl. I'm just doing something for the fairy, and I haven't seen her for several days..."
"Girl, everything I've said is true. I swear, if I've told a single lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but frown. If it wasn't the Fairy of Goodness who instructed her, then who was it?
Could it be that Uncle Cheng lied?
damn it!
Lu Yangyang left the room and went to find Uncle Cheng. Before she could speak, Uncle Cheng began to plead, "Young lady, young lady, you have done me a great favor. Please help me find my son. I deserve to die, I am not worth the death, but my son is still so young, so very young..."
"I didn't find your son at Qinglian Temple. You know you're heartbroken because your son is still young, but what about the families of those innocent children you abducted and who lost their lives? Don't they feel heartbroken?" Lu Yangyang said with disgust.
Uncle Cheng started to sob.
"I've already asked. The person who instructed you to kidnap me last night wasn't the Immortal Maiden Shangshan, nor that little Taoist nun. Tell me, who was it?" Lu Yangyang refused to believe she couldn't find that person today.
"I advise you to tell the truth. Maybe I can even plead for you and find out your son's whereabouts during their trial!"
“How could I dare to deceive you, young lady? It really was a young Taoist nun who came to see me. However, I didn’t see her. She came to see me through the window the night before, handed me some silver, and her voice was a little hoarse… I thought it was the same as usual. It was… it was the Qinglian Temple…” Uncle Cheng looked at Lu Yangyang pleadingly: “Please, I don’t care if I die, but my son did nothing, he did nothing…”
Lu Yangyang turned and left the room.
He muttered a curse under his breath in anger.
If she wasn't mistaken, someone impersonated Han Dong, paid Uncle Cheng to abduct her using his connections to traffic children.
Unfortunately, there is now absolutely no evidence left.
Because no one had ever seen the person who impersonated the young Taoist nun.
Who could it be?
"girl!"
Lu Yangyang gritted her teeth in anger, when Lüyao ran towards her and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Miss?"
"Nothing, what are you doing here?"
“Lord Pei asked me to come and cooperate with the investigation. He has asked all the questions he needed to ask, and he said I can go back now,” Green Yao replied.
Lu Yangyang nodded. "That's perfect. Come back with me. You said you wanted me to do something for you after everything was over. What do you want?"
As Lü Yao walked out beside Lu Yangyang, she heard her words and whispered, "Miss, could you give me some silver?"
Lu Yangyang's eyes widened, her heart already bleeding: "Silver? How much do you want?"
