Chapter 484: Death of Hongmei
"Fang Ruo, we have already found the evidence that Cao Fangqing pushed you off the cliff, as well as the witnesses, your grandfather and your father. We have also collected most of the evidence that Zhao Ting'er murdered your mother. What do you think?"
After the meal, the servants served tea and snacks. The old prime minister took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Fangruo and asked.
"Wasn't father involved in this?"
After hearing what the old prime minister said, Cao Fangruo suddenly raised her head, stared at him closely and asked, with a hint of expectation in the depths of her eyes, Didn't he want to kill her back then?
"Fang Ruo, your father was deceived by Zhao Ting'er and her daughter back then. He didn't know that they were plotting against you. He always thought that you fell off the cliff. After he knew that you fell off the cliff, he searched for you day and night at the bottom of the cliff for several days! Some time ago, your father already knew that Zhao Ting'er had murdered your mother and that she had teamed up with Cao Fangqing to push you off the cliff. During this period, he had been trying hard to find evidence and even poisoned Zhao Ting'er, but who knew that Hongmei had detoxified her."
The old prime minister stated the facts and said that he did not like his ex-son-in-law, but he also disdained to say bad things about him in front of his granddaughter. Besides, if Fang Ruo knew that her father had no intention of harming her, the pain in her heart would definitely be reduced a lot.
"Dad, he didn't mean to hurt me! He didn't mean to hurt me!"
Cao Fangruo was crying and laughing, with tears streaming down her face.
Lin Dayong patted her back gently, Leng Linglong took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears with a distressed look on her face, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Cao finally calmed down. A dark place deep in her heart finally became bright, and she suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
"Grandfather, I want to deal with Cao Fangqing first, expose her crimes, make her confess and be punished, let Zhao Ting'er taste the pain of losing her loved ones, let her watch with her own eyes her daughter's body being torn apart, her husband being alienated from her, her family being estranged from her, let her watch what she once had being lost bit by bit, and finally make her evil deeds public, let her be despised by everyone."
Cao Fangruo's mind was working rapidly. Thinking of Zhao Ting'er and her daughter, she was filled with resentment and spoke word by word through gritted teeth.
"Okay, these operations are not difficult. The only thing we need to worry about now is the maid named Hongmei beside Zhao Ting'er, and the person behind Hongmei - the Jin Kingdom's National Master! According to my informants, the Jin Kingdom's National Master is extremely skilled and his methods are very strange!"
The old prime minister looked at Cao Fangruo and spoke slowly.
"Great-grandfather, don't worry about Hongmei. Leave it to me. I can handle her! After discussing with my uncle tonight, I will sneak into the general's mansion and kill her, so that she won't use the poison in her hand to poison my uncle and your family."
Lin Xi paused for a moment and continued, "As for the Jin Kingdom's National Master, my master is more than capable of dealing with him!"
Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the old prime minister and others, Cao Fangruo told them the general story of Master Lin Xi.
After hearing about Master Lin Xi's story, the old prime minister and his family were amazed.
"I didn't expect there really is such a hermit master in the world. This is great. It's basically foolproof."
The old prime minister stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Grandfather, uncle, aunt, it's getting late, we'll go back first. If there's anything, you can send someone to look for me here. Jun Huan knows the way."
Cao placed the note with their whereabouts on the table, stood up and said goodbye, smiling.
"Okay, you just arrived in the capital today, I won't keep you here, go back and have a good rest."
The old prime minister then stood up and said with a kind smile on his face.
After saying that, he was about to ask the old butler to send someone to quietly deliver those large boxes to Cao's place, but in the blink of an eye, those boxes disappeared. Then he remembered what Zhao Junle had said about the space ring.
"Great-grandfather, uncle, aunt, and cousin, this is a space ring given to you. Auntie knows how to use it. When you have spiritual roots, you can ask her to teach you how to use it."
Lin Xi waved his hand and placed four space rings in front of the old prime minister and the other three, then pointed at Zhao Junle and said with a smile.
After she finished speaking, an idea flashed through her mind, and she took out a basket of dried spirit fish, a basket of dried meat, and a basket of grapes and peaches from the boundary bead. She saw that they liked them very much just now, so she simply left some more for them.
Her great-grandfather’s family were very nice people and she liked them very much.
The old prime minister and his family did not refuse. They laughed heartily and said that they had made a great bargain.
Cao refused to let the old prime minister and his family see her off, and quickly left from the backyard with Lin Xi and others.
After such a trip to the old prime minister's house, Cao's steps returned much lighter.
"Dad, Mom, you take my eldest brother and the others back first. I'm going to find my uncle and ask him to take me to the General's Mansion to deal with Hongmei. I'll be back after he's done."
Returning to the gate of his yard, Lin Xi whispered to Cao and Lin Dayong.
"Little sister, I'll go with you!"
"Sister, Xiao An'er and I will go too!"
Lin Kang, Lin Ping and Xiao Aner came up to Lin Xi, their eyes shining, and wanted to join her.
Lin Xi just thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After Cao and Lin Dayong entered and bolted the door, the four sisters quietly walked to the wall of Cao Zhu's backyard and climbed over it swiftly.
"Why is the guard of this uncle's yard so lax?"
Xiao Aner looked at the quiet yard and said while shaking his head.
"That's right. Didn't my sister ask Xiao Que to send him a message, telling him about Hong Mei and asking him to be careful? Why is he still so careless?"
Lin Ping looked around and muttered, "They had been gone for quite a while, and there wasn't a single guard to be seen."
"Something is wrong. I hope nothing has happened to my uncle!"
Lin Kang frowned, feeling that the yard was too quiet.
My uncle knew that my younger sister would come to see him at night, so he would definitely wait for her. But why was the whole yard so dark, without a single candlelight?
Lin Kang flew into the air, observed for a while, landed back to Lin Xi and the other two, and spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know which courtyard my uncle lives in. Let's split up and look for him. Remember to use your spiritual power to protect your body and don't fall into other people's traps!"
Lin Xi rolled his eyes and spoke to Lin Kang and the other two. After that, the four of them quickly flew away in four different directions.
At this time, in an inconspicuous room, Hongmei looked at Cao Zhu who was lying on the bed without any reaction, snorted coldly and said: "You are really defensive. You don't live in your own main courtyard, but rest in such a side courtyard, making it difficult for me to find you. You also wasted a lot of magic medicine given by the master. I have to stab you a few more times and then send you to report to the Hades."
Hongmei felt sad when she thought about the wasted poison, so she raised the dagger and stabbed Cao Zhu.
"You vicious woman!"
Because Cao Zhu had spiritual power, he did not lose consciousness and his mind was still clear. He just couldn't control his body temporarily.
While trying hard to mobilize his spiritual power, he secretly cursed Hongmei.
Hongmei looked at the bloody holes on Cao Zhu's body and nodded with satisfaction. She felt that the poison was about to expire and she needed to leave before the guards woke up. So she tapped Cao Zhu's cheek with a dagger and said, "General Cao, don't blame me. Blame your vicious stepmother! She told me to take your life. I'll send you off now!"
After Hongmei finished speaking, she moved the dagger to Cao Zhu's neck and cut towards his carotid artery.
Cao Zhu continued to mobilize his spiritual power, and anxiously shouted in his heart: Xier, why don’t you come? Your uncle is going to be killed by this stinky woman.
Suddenly a pleasant voice sounded in the room, "Stop!"
Then, the next moment, Cao Zhu saw Hongmei spitting blood and flying out from the corner of his eye.
"uncle!"
Lin Xi strode to the bedside and injected a stream of spiritual power into Cao Zhu's body. Seeing the injuries on Cao Zhu's body, she narrowed her eyes and kicked Hongmei on the ground. With a click, Hongmei's neck was broken and her head drooped down.
It all happened so fast, Hongmei died with her eyes wide open.
