Chapter 1733 Clues
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment when she looked at the report.
The abbot was waiting anxiously over there and couldn't help but urge: "What's going on? How is it? Tell me."
Yan Ruyu came back to her senses, cleared her throat and asked, "Are you asking if they are related by blood?"
"Yes, yes..."
"I still want to ask, are they father and son?"
Abbot: "??"
"What do you mean?"
Yan Ruyu said nothing. The abbot must have understood what this meant, but he just found it hard to believe for a moment.
The abbot swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh my God, this is... How can I explain this? The child is not yours, but yours. I don't know whose child it is with."
“Isn’t this more fatal?”
Yan Ruyu didn't know what to say for a moment. She was silent for a while, then she said slowly, "I suggested that you first understand his family's situation and see what's going on. Then we can talk slowly."
The abbot was silent for a while and said, "Okay, this is the only way."
He asked again: "Hey? The Qiu family father and son..."
"No," Yan Ruyu said simply, "It shows that there is no blood relationship."
The abbot hissed, "No blood relationship? Doesn't that mean... then... No wonder his father's attitude was so strange after Qiu Keshi died."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. There are many strange things about this matter. I'm still in prison. Go ask that follower."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll ask Beibei and the others to help check what's going on with that family."
Yan Ruyu hung up the phone and looked at Qiu Liu outside, who had almost finished writing.
Exit the space and slowly open your eyes.
Qiu Liu handed over the written confession with both hands.
Yan Ruyu didn't answer and said calmly, "Read it."
Qiu Liu's throat rolled slightly, he lowered his head to look at the paper in his hand and began to read.
Yan Ruyu listened quietly. Although this man was Qiu Keshi's follower, Qiu Keshi was mostly in Shencheng. Usually he was just an ordinary servant, doing some miscellaneous chores, but he had not done anything evil like killing people.
The purpose of asking him to write this is, firstly, to see whether he has done any evil, and secondly, to show from the side what kind of person Qiu Ke Shi is and what he has done.
What Qiu Ke Shi did was nothing more than what rich kids tend to do when they are arrogant and proud.
There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of one's power to bully someone, or getting jealous when drinking.
"Last winter, the young master returned to the city and I went to pick him up. I accidentally spilled a box of spices, and the young master got furious and beat me with ten lashes."
"That same month, the young master asked me to find a real estate agent to rent and sell houses..."
Yan Ruyu's mind moved slightly. After listening to several pages of the paper, this follower had never been beaten before. This was the first time.
Because a box of spices was knocked over? What spices were worth all that rage?
Going forward, could it be that the real estate agent was planning to rent the house next to his?
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu interrupted: "Which house do you want to rent?"
Qiu Liu said without hesitation: "It's the house in Liuming Lane."
Liuming Lane was the house where Qiu Keshi had stayed for nearly an hour.
Yan Ruyu asked calmly, "What is that house used for?"
"This..." Qiu Liu thought for a moment, "At first the Master didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask too much. But later on, the Master asked me to order food and have it delivered to that house. I guess he probably kept someone as his own."
"Didn't he have a mistress?"
"That Miss Su," the attendant replied, "Although Miss Su is a concubine, the young master really likes her and has had quite a quarrel with his family because of her."
"However, we have to take a step back. Miss Su was not able to get married, and the young master did not abandon her and kept her outside. The master and the mistress also turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything."
"But Miss Su lives in Huatian Lane, not Liuming Lane. The two places are quite far apart."
"Were you often with Qiu Keshi when he was in Youcheng?"
Qiu Liu nodded: "Yes, basically. Even when I went to see Miss Su, I was accompanied by me. Of course, I didn't enter the house."
"Then do you know what's going on between him and the people from Lanxing Pavilion?"
Qiu Liu looked stern: "You mean, the instructor from Lanxing Pavilion? I don't know."
Yan Ruyu noticed the change in his expression and her eyes turned slightly cold.
"It seems that you are afraid of her, not of this princess."
Qiu Liu kowtowed quickly: "No, that's not what I meant. It's just... that Erya's methods are quite vicious, and she has only met you twice in total."
"Every time we meet, don't let the villain follow you."
"Then what are you afraid of? How do you know that she is so vicious?"
"That's... I have something to report. I saw the housekeeper coming. Ever since Miss Su's incident, the master has been very strict with the young master and doesn't allow him to go to places of entertainment."
"I was keeping watch for the young master. When I saw the butler coming, I hurried to report it. And then... I saw him," Qiu Liu's face turned pale, and he seemed to be very frightened.
When I mention that time and think back to that time, I am still immersed in fear.
Yan Ruyu didn't rush and waited patiently.
After a while, I heard Qiu Liu say, "I saw a bucket of blood on the ground. Her hands were covered in blood and she was holding something that looked like... human skin."
When Yan Ruyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
That strange pool, the woman soaking in it, could it be...
On the way to exile, she came across an island that made human skins, and she and Huo Changhe led people to blow up the island.
When I think about it now, it seems like it happened decades ago.
Could it be that there is something to do with Erya?
"Go on."
Qiu Liu swallowed his saliva and continued, "Since then, I have never dared to go to Lanxing Pavilion again. Fortunately, the young master has never been there either. When I saw the young master coming out of there that day, his face didn't look very good either."
"Did he take someone from outside the Great Wall with him that time?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Qiu Liu looked up in surprise, glanced at her quickly, and lowered his head again.
The princess did not bluff him, and she really knew everything.
Qiu Liu didn't dare to hide it: "...Yes, the young master brought a person from outside the pass, but I really don't know what that person is about. It was only that night that I knew about this person."
"Where did you pick him up from?"
"I was waiting at the intersection. When the carriage passed by, the young master asked the driver to stop the carriage and did not go to pick it up."
"Do you know who lives in the house next to the Qiu family?"
Qiu Liu was startled and shook his head: "I don't know. It used to be a family of three. Later, the daughter got married and the old couple were worried about the family, so they moved in too. The house became vacant and I never heard of anyone living there."
Yan Ruyu looked at his expression and it didn't seem like he was faking it, so she thought that Qiu Ke Shi probably didn't let him know about such an important matter.
"What spice did you spill?"
Qiu Liu was suddenly asked this question and didn't understand it for a moment. After thinking about it, he realized what Yan Ruyu was referring to.
"I didn't know. The fragrance was so strong. The young master said it was very precious and worth a thousand gold coins. I was so scared. I deserve to be lashed ten times."
