Chapter 118 Deng Yan''s Death III
Qingyan listened to Murong Jingxuan''s words and poured herself a cup of tea, slowly speaking, "I was
just fortunate enough to have seen her true appearance, however, this is already something of my
previous incarnation."
Murong Jingxuan, seeing Qingyan''s appearance, suddenly became curious about this Gu n
Priestess. And under Murong Jingxuan''s continuous stare, Qingyan could only tell him everything that
had happened in the past in detail.
The Gu n Priestess was the most powerful person of the n. They all regarded the priestess as
the next n Leader, and Muhu Luja was also a very beautiful woman. At the time, there were many
people in the Gu n that liked her, but the Priestess can''t have feelings. Once it''s discovered that a
priestess is no longer a pure woman, they say the Gu n will definitely be met with the gods''
punishment.
As for the specifics of what happened afterwards, Su Qingyan wasn''t clear either, and she didn''t know
why Muhu Luja would change her face and name, ande to Donghe as Deng Yan. But she still think
that this matter isn''t as simple as she''d imagined.
"So you mean to say that you don''t know why this priestess would appear in the Su manor either?"
Murong Jingxuan yed with the teacup as he looked to the frown on Qingyan''s brow.
"However, as long as we wait until after shees out, perhaps we can know the specifics. I still think
this matter isn''t that simple." Qingyan waved her hand at Murong Jingxuan, "Maybe Yiniang has her
own thoughts."
"If when the timees, Deng Yan dies, what do you n to do?" Murong Jingxuan looked to the still
tightly frowning Qingyan, "You can''t just overtly take her into the General''s manor."
Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan, nodding, "However, if we were to use some method, it''s still
possible."
After all, she promised Su Qingcong and Su Qingxue that she would definitely rescue Deng Yan, let
them all reunite, even if she''ll no longer be Deng Yan by that time. They can''t openly call Deng Yan
mother either, but this was the best way to leave the Su manor.
"Yan''er, how about I help you arrange Deng Yan''s matter?" Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan and
said in seriousness, "My mother has a distant rtive that just past away, but no one knows.
Qingyan listened to Murong Jingxuan''s words and when she looked to him, she reluctantly shook her
head, "This matter I have my own arrangement, you don''t need to worry. But if you were to handle it,
maybe it''s not necessarily undoable either."
In the end, Qingyan still had her own misgivings. After all, Deng Yan needs to move into General''s
manor when the timees, but if it was through Murong Jingxuan, then Deng Yan won''t be able to
enter. When she thought of this, Qingyan still tightly frowned.
"Yan''er, what are you thinking about?" Murong Jingxuan reached over, wanting to smooth out the
creases between her brow.
"Murong Jingxuan, if Yiniang were to move through your arrangements, she won''t be able to live in the
General''s manor. That way, I won''t be able to fulfill Cong''er and fifth sister''s promise."
Hearing Qingyan''s words, Murong Jingxuan felt she had a point, "If that''s the case, you can do as you
see fit."
Qingyan nodded at his words, "It''ste, Shizi please return, I want to rest."
"Alright, then I will wait to see a good show tomorrow." Murong Jingxuan nced to Qingyan before

turning to leave.
---------------------------------
Early next morning, when Su Qingcong woke, he saw Su Qingxue sleeping on a nearby bed. He
quickly got down and ran over to Su Qingxue, "Big sister, you came? How''s mother''s situation?"
When Su Qingxue heard Su Qingcong''s voice, she pulled him into her arms with a smile, "Mother is
fine, but in order to let mother leave that ce, fourth sister set up a scheme, and this scheme needs
our cooperation."
"What scheme needs our cooperation?" When Su Qingcong heard Su Qingxue say that their mother
can leave the Su manor, his face was full of smiles.
Su Qingxue told Su Qingcong the entirety of the matter in ordance to Su Qingyan''s exnation
from yesterday. And Su Qingcong also indicated that he will bear it in mind, and not cause trouble for
Qingyan.
Meanwhile, Qingyan was also instructing the servants the specifics of what to do, else, when the time
came and the two sides don''t add up, it would be bad.
During breakfast, Qingyan also informed Su Yun and Luo Bing the whole sequences of events, but
didn''t tell them about Deng Yan''s matter.
Seeing the two petite children before their eyes, Su Yun and Luo Bing also felt very sorry for them. She
even specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes. Just then, the Su manor housekeeper
frantically ran over, telling them that Deng Yan had passed awayst night.
Hearing about Deng Yan''s passing, Su Qingxue loudly burst into tears at once, and Su Qingcong also
followed after, bursting into tears.
Qingyan pulled them into her arms and patted their heads, "Don''t cry, Cong''er, fifth sister. Let''s go with
father and mother over there right now to see."
The two in her arms simultaneously looked up to Qingyan and nodded.
When they arrived at the Su manor, they saw the capital''s Magistrate there too. And the one that
reported to the courts was Deng Yan''s most loyal servant, Linghua. As soon as they saw Deng Yan''s
body, Su Qingxue and Su Qingcong threw themselves over, bawling.
"This humble official greets your Highness, Junzhu*." The Capital Magistrate looked to Qingyan and
respectfully greeted. "This humble official received the case this morning, saying, the Su manor''s third
madam had plotted to murder the concubine."
(*T/N: In case you''ve forgotten, Qingyan was bestowed a title as Junzhu, so officials have to treat her
like royalty.)
"Sorry to disturb. Just conduct your business as usual." Qingyan looked to the Capital Magistrate and
spoke with a smile. She pointed to the two crying over Deng Yan''s body and said regretfully,
"Yesterday, these two children came to seek shelter with me, saying Yiniang was suffering from third
aunt''s abuse. Originally, I wanted toe over today to see, yet I didn''t think something like this would
happen."
"Junzhu has a merciful heart, it is the good fortune of the people of Diqiu." The Capital Magistrate
looked to Qingyan still with a respectful tone, "The coroner just examined the body, seems like was
beaten to death."
At this time, Chai Yiyun walked out wearing a brightly colored dress. She looked to the body on the
ground, "I wonder what Sir Magistrate has called this subject over for?"
But before the Capital Magistrate was even able to speak, Su Qingxue and Su Qingcong already
pounced over, screaming words like, "Give me back my mother."
Chai Yiyun watched them with a disdainful expression, but since the Capital Magistrate and Su
Qingyan were present, it simply wasn''t convenient to get angry. "When have I ever harmed your
mother?! Don''t nder me!" Chai Yiyun looked to them and spoke with ample confidence.
"Sir Magistrate, it''s the third madam that murdered our Yiniang!" Linghua spoke as she heavily
kowtowed, "I ask Junzhu and Sir Magistrate for justice!"
When Su Yun and Luo Bing saw this scene, they also found it unbearable. The Magistrate looked to
Linghua, his stern voice sounding, "Can you tell me everything that''s happened?"
Linghua nced to Deng Yan lying on the ground and told everything that had happened to the Capital
Magistrate through endless weeping.
