Chapter 79: The Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Du Ling’er’s murder had caused quite a commotion at that time, but after nightfall, things finally calmed down, allowing most of the refugees in the refugee camp to have some rest.

After Lin Suisui tidied up, she bumped into Mrs. Luo, who was rushing over.

“The two sisters from the Du family were suddenly sent away by Mr. Pei last night.” When Mrs. Luo saw Lin Suisui, she immediately told her everything that had happened last night. “They came very suddenly, then gagged everyone from the Du family and took them away silently.

The reason I knew was that a woman who lived next door to them had come over this morning and told me.

She said that she was terrified!

“She said that those people captured them as soon as they came over. Originally, there was a bold person from the Du family who struggled, but in the end, those people gave them two slaps! Liu Niang, what do you think the Du family…”

“I don’t know.” Lin Suisui shook her head gently. “In any case, there has been a lot of trouble in the refugee camp recently. It’s best to tell everyone in your family to be careful and not wander around these few days. This is the best way to protect ourselves.”

Mrs. Luo strongly agreed with Lin Suisui’s words. She nodded repeatedly. Thinking of her daughter who was clamoring to go out, she turned around and rushed back.

On the other side, Lin Suisui went back and had a simple breakfast. Then, she saw Lu Ze return with two live fish. She stood and went forward to help, but Lu Ze stopped her. “Don’t wet your clothes. I’ll go to the side to parch them first before coming back to talk.”

Lu Ze dealt with the fish and had just sat down when he saw the curtain beside him move. Qian He squeezed in with a smile and bowed to them as he said politely, “Mr. Pei invites the two of you over.”

The place Pei Qian invited them to this time was beyond Lin Suisui’s expectations.

It wasn’t the big tent that he had always invited them to, but on a stone beach by the river outside the refugee camp.

Pei Qian, wearing a simple fur-collared cloak with pine and crane patterns, was sitting by the bonfire. He was brewing tea on the table. Seeing Lin Suisui and the others come over, Pei Qian only raised his eyes slightly and gestured for them to sit on the short stool that had been prepared by the bonfire.

“We won’t drink today. I’ll treat you guys to tea.”

The water in the small red clay stove beside Pei Qian had already boiled. When he was brewing tea, he gave off a sense of elegance.

After Lin Suisui took the teacup from Qian He, she held the expensive tea set in a daze. She hesitated for a moment before taking a sip.

The tea was aromatic and full-flavored!

Still…

“How is it? This tea was produced by my mother on a farm on Wuyi Mountain. There are only two tea trees left on the cliff. Very few are sent to me every year.

Along the way, this was the first time I’ve thought of opening it.”

Pei Qian swirled the teacup in his hand and he sounded pretty proud.

However, both Lu Ze and Lin Suisui, who were sitting beside him, had lukewarm reactions.

When Lin Suisui heard Pei Qian’s words, she picked up the teacup and continued to drink. In the end, she frowned and put it down in embarrassment. “Please forgive me, Your Highness. I’m not used to drinking this.”

“You’ve never drunk tea before?!” Pei Qian was clearly a little surprised. He glanced at the teacup in Lin Suisui’s hand that was still half-full of tea. He was still a little suspicious.

“We country bumpkins drink big-leaved herbal tea. There’s a common name for it: three-pins, because we only need three or four leaves to make a big pot.

“When the farmers are busy, they bring it to the fields to quench their thirst.”

Lin Suisui’s answer seemed very convincing. In the face of Pei Qian’s almost omnipresent probing, she could only be extremely careful. If she wasn’t careful, she would most likely fall into his trap.

“I thought that you might like tea since you treat patients.” Pei Qian laughed. He didn’t say that he believed Lin Suisui’s explanation. Of course, he didn’t say that he didn’t believe it either.

“To be honest, I really can’t tell the difference between tea.” Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian apologetically. “My mentor said that my tongue can probably only discern the difference in medicine. As for tea, it’s fine as long as it can give the water I drink some flavor. No matter how expensive the tea is, it’s a waste to let me taste it.”

“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Pei Qian’s gaze landed on the teacup in Lu Ze’s hand that had not been touched at all. He looked away after a moment and didn’t continue to pester them. “I should have asked you about the situation when something happened to that girl from the Du family yesterday.

However, you guys also must have seen that there were too many people around at that time, so it wasn’t convenient to ask!

At night, I asked Qian He to call the Du family back for questioning. The others from the Du family are fine, but the two girls from the Du family haven’t told the truth from the beginning to the end.”

Pei Qian explained everything that had happened previously. Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t interrupt him. Pei Qian continued, “I had no choice but to use some other methods. This morning, I finally sorted things out.

Do you remember when Du Ling’er was kicked by me that day?!

From what the two girls said, Du Ling’er wanted to go to the Song family to talk to the second daughter of the Song family that day! However, Du Juan’er mentioned that Song Yue had ulterior motives and seemed to have feelings for her lover!

Du Ling’er was enraged and went to ask Song Yue.

However, Du Juan’er said that Song Yue wasn’t in the Song family at that time, but with her lover. You’ve also experienced Du Ling’er’s temper, so she naturally went wherever Du Juan’er pointed.”

Seeing that Du Ling’er had believed them and was heading in the direction they were pointing, Du Juan’er and her sister naturally wanted to follow her.

They had originally planned to use this as an excuse to make Du Ling’er and Song Yue fall out with each other over that lover. The more things blew up, the better!

This way, Du Ling’er’s reputation would be completely ruined, and they could use this opportunity to get revenge!

However, to their surprise, they had only taken two steps in the direction when Du Ling’er rushed out from behind the bushes like a lunatic. Along the way, she even pushed Du Miao’er, making her fall and almost disfiguring her face…”
