Chapter 226 Should we just kill Yu Kangping too?
Cui Ruixin frowned: "You can't take her away, that's against the rules."
She realized that the previous incident had tarnished the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, so she had to put on the act of a loving mother.
She wiped away her tears and said, "This child is just too hot-tempered. He had a few words with the Marquis and he can't get over it. Alas, he is such an unlucky child."
"Don't worry, we will give Weiwei a proper burial and ensure she has a grand funeral."
She walked up to Yu Ruowei, pretending to hug her, but actually reaching out to check her breath and pulse.
This test startled her.
Yu Ruowei is really dead?
She was momentarily dazed.
Yu Ningyao pushed her away: "Don't touch your older sister with your dirty hands."
After saying that, she decisively ordered someone to take Yu Ruowei away.
Cui Ruixin was in a daze and for a moment she was unable to get anyone to stop her.
By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late for regrets.
She could only go back and check on how the Marquis was doing.
After Yu Kangping regained consciousness and learned that Yu Ruowei was really dead, he was so angry that he cursed: "What use is a noble lady like you? You can't even handle such a small matter. You might as well quit being a noble lady."
Cui Ruixin had long been fed up with this humiliation.
She had to guard against Yu Ningyao's sudden change of heart, and she also had to please Yu Kangping. She couldn't even control her daughters-in-law. She couldn't bear it any longer and retorted, "It wasn't me who forced Weiwei to her death."
"Who kept saying she was their own daughter, but ended up driving her to her death."
"Yu Kangping, if you're so capable, then divorce me. If you can't, then shut up in front of me. You say I'm useless? You're the real piece of trash!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Yu Kangping, who had just woken up after fainting from anger, couldn't bear the shock and fainted again.
After returning to her bedroom, Cui Ruixin's face was somber.
She was pondering whether she should just kill Yu Kangping as well.
If Yu Kangping dies, the title of Marquis will fall to the eldest son, and then she, the old lady, will be the most honored person in the whole family.
Even if the eldest daughter-in-law's family is rich, so what? Can they possibly surpass her, the old lady?
The timing was perfect; Yu Kangping drove his daughter to her death, and unable to bear it any longer, he committed suicide...
Cui Ruixin became more and more excited the more she thought about it.
This needs to be done quickly.
Once that's over, it won't be so easy to frame someone else.
……
The first person Yu Kangping saw after waking up was Yu Ningyao.
He was somewhat surprised that Yu Ningyao would come to see him. Didn't she not want to acknowledge him as her biological father?
Could it be that she's figured it out, and now that Yu Ruowei is dead, she's the rightful legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family?
Is she planning to marry as the legitimate daughter of a marquis?
Thinking of this, Yu Kangping's expression softened.
"So graceful..."
Yu Ningyao interrupted him directly: "Uncle, I've come today to tell you three things."
"What is it?" Yu Kangping was taken aback.
Seeing how serious her expression was, I had a feeling it wasn't anything good.
"The deaths of both my grandmother and my aunt were caused by my eldest aunt." Yu Ningyao's words startled him so much that he jumped out of bed.
"What did you say? Do you know how serious a crime it is to falsely accuse an elder?" Yu Kangping asked, trembling.
In fact, he had some suspicions over the years, but unfortunately he could never find any evidence.
"Whether what I said is true or false, you can check it out yourself," Yu Ningyao said calmly.
She recounted how Cui Ruixin framed the old lady and how she caused the death of the old marquis.
The old woman who ran errands for Cui Ruixin and killed someone to cover it up, and her son, are still alive!
Yu Kangping's mind went blank after hearing this.
He never imagined that the woman beside him would be such a vicious woman.
They even used their own son.
Besides, she dared to kill her in-laws, so what if he's the next one she wants to kill?
After Yu Ningyao finished explaining, she left gracefully, leaving Yu Kangping alone, bewildered in the wind.
He didn't even think to ask how Yu Ruowei's body was.
When Cui Ruixin learned that Yu Ningyao had come to the Marquis's residence and met with Yu Kangping alone, her heart pounded.
She guessed that Yu Ningyao was looking for Yu Kangping at this critical juncture because she wanted to reveal what she had done.
The candlelight flickered and burst into a flame on the brass lampstand, reflecting her deathly pale face in the bronze mirror. Cui Ruixin's shoulders trembled violently.
If Yu Kangping finds out about this, she's doomed.
"No, he has no evidence. I can't let myself panic." Cui Ruixin looked at herself in the mirror and forced herself to calm down.
Yu Kangping was concerned about his reputation and would never make this public.
Moreover, since the old Marquis and his wife have been dead for so many years, he must be more focused on immediate interests.
She decided that once the plans were finalized by tomorrow, she would send Yu Kangping on his way.
Unexpectedly, this time, Yu Kangping beat him to it.
Seeing Yu Kangping leading several robust female servants into her courtyard, Cui Ruixin's face grew increasingly grim.
He hadn't been to her yard for several years.
Their marital relationship had long been a dead end.
His expression clearly indicated that he was up to no good.
"Get out, all of you. My wife and I have something to say." Yu Kangping dismissed Cui Ruixin's maids.
"Don't leave! Stay here!" Cui Ruixin tried to call out to the maid in fear.
However, Yu Kangping brought a large number of people with him.
Besides the rough-around-the-edges old women, there were also sturdy servants.
Soon, all of Cui Ruixin's maids were "invited" out, leaving only the people brought by Yu Kangping.
Cui Ruixin became increasingly nervous.
Yu Kangping raised his hand without uttering a single unnecessary word: "Pass down the message that the madam is so distressed by the death of the eldest young lady that she cannot eat or sleep, and wishes she could follow her in death, so she has requested to wear a white silk ribbon as an apology."
"You dare kill me?!" Cui Ruixin saw the white silk ribbon in the old woman's hand and panicked completely.
She never expected Yu Kangping to be so unreasonable, not even asking for evidence, and directly sending her to her death first.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and do it." Looking at Cui Ruixin's face, which was no longer the same as before, Yu Kangping felt no emotion at all.
If it weren't for saving face, he would have strangled her with his own hands to comfort his parents' spirits in heaven.
Several rough-looking old women rushed over, pinned Cui Ruixin down, and with a muffled exertion, pressed down on her trembling shoulders with the backs of their hands, which were covered in bulging veins.
Cui Ruixin struggled desperately: "Ziche, Ziyuan, Ziqing, come and save me..."
She kicked over a copper basin that crashed against the blue bricks, the clanging sound mingling with her scream, sending shivers down one's spine.
The few rough-and-ready women were somewhat flustered.
This was the first time they had ever killed a lady from the Marquis's household.
“You…aren’t…afraid…” Cui Ruixin stared wide-eyed at Yu Kangping.
She didn't finish her sentence, but Yu Kangping understood what she meant.
He curled his lips into a contemptuous smile.
"Aren't you afraid that if I kill you, Ziche and his brothers will hate me?"
Cui Ruixin could no longer make a sound; she could only stare at him with resentful eyes.
