A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 185 The Truth Revealed to the World (63)

Mu Qingcheng's expression changed. "Really?"

Xia Yu nodded without hesitation, "This servant can confirm that Miss never bribed anyone to poison Madam Liu! If we did it, we admit it, but if we didn't do it, we absolutely will not admit it!"

Mu Qingcheng frowned. "Then tell me, how did Li Yunyao shut Madam Liu up?"

"This is a generous gift that Miss prepared for Madam Liu before she died." Xia Yu kept her in suspense, "No need to rush. The gift will only take effect after Madam Liu has finished her court hearing and trial and has confessed all her crimes. After all, we still need her to speak for us now."

A cold glint appeared in Mu Qingcheng's eyes. "Xia Yu, you'd better confess now! Since Li Yunyao has chosen to judge the Liu family according to the law, she should not resort to private punishment and show contempt for the court!"

"Coroner Mu, please calm down. It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but that I was unaware of the situation." Xia Yu replied truthfully, "Before I went to Qingzhou, Miss mentioned it briefly, but she was still thinking about how to implement it and hadn't decided yet. After that, I left."

Song Shuyu sighed, "Li Yunyao is truly a master strategist! She has schemed against us both before and after her death, and now she's set us up with another trap!"

The Liu family members had different expressions, and none of them spoke.

It's hard to say who's the butcher and who's the fish.

Moreover, aside from feelings of resentment and regret, they are powerless to change whatever happens.

After a moment's consideration, Mu Qingcheng continued, "Xia Yu, has Li Yunyao done anything to retaliate against Liu Pei and Liu Changqing?"

"Revenge against Liu Pei..." Xia Yu paused, deliberately avoiding Liu Pei's gaze. Regardless of the reason, once two people have been intimate, it's difficult to pretend nothing happened. Her voice lowered, "Miss made Liu Pei mistakenly believe she had consummated the marriage and had a child with her, letting him be happy for nothing—that's the greatest revenge against him. As for his killing of Miss's mother, the law will provide justice for Miss." Mu Qingcheng nodded. "And what about Liu Changqing?"

Liu Changqing, who had been like a dead fish, finally looked over. Since it concerned him, even though he had no way out anyway, he still instinctively wanted to listen to what was going on.

"A revenge against Liu Changqing, that would be brilliant!" Xia Yu perked up again, but after looking around, she didn't speak rashly. Instead, she stood up, leaned close to Mu Qingcheng's ear, and whispered the message.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingcheng's expression tightened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, making it impossible for anyone to detect anything amiss.

Everyone was filled with curiosity.

However, Mu Qingcheng had no intention of making it public. She simply glanced at Song Shuyu and shook her head gently at him. Although he did not understand her deeper meaning, he cooperated with her and kept the matter a secret.

Liu Changqing, however, panicked a bit. He provoked Xia Yu, saying, "Xia Yu, explain yourself clearly. Whether I kill you or torture you, I, Liu, have never cared!"

Xia Yu sneered, "General Liu, you'd better live a few more days and keep your eyes wide open to see what happens! You're good at killing, but I'm good at destroying hearts. You won't feel the pain until the knife is in your body. So, the big gift I'm giving you is to cut you into a thousand pieces, but not your body, but your heart!"

"What...what exactly do you want?" Upon hearing this, Liu Changqing completely panicked. "Are you bluffing me? Are you trying to create a mystery?"
