Chapter 1535: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1535: That Person, I've Seen Before
Kong Zhiyou first thanked Meng Yunzheng before stepping on a stool and getting into the carriage, sitting opposite Shu Yu.
Shu Yu thought she would at least express her thanks, but after getting into the carriage, Kong Zhiyou kept her head down and remained silent.
Shu Yu asked, "...If you're not busy, you should go home. Your grandmother must be worried about you."
Kong Zhiyou exhaled and looked up, saying, "Lu Xiangjun, I thought you would take the opportunity to humiliate and retaliate against me when you testified for Qiuju. I thought you would step on me. I was too narrow-minded; I apologize."
"Is that what you wanted to say?"
"Of course not."
Shu Yu waited for her to finish apologizing and say thank you, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Shu Yu.
Shu Yu was puzzled. "What is this?"
Without taking them, Kong Zhiyou took them back and said, "Actually, I lied about something in court today."
"So what?"
Kong Zhiyou pursed her lips. "I told the county magistrate that I let Dongmei go home to reunite with her family because I was grateful for her care for me. But that's not true. I let her go home to my father-in-law's study to take something."
"To take something?" Shu Yu's gaze unconsciously fell on the papers in her hand.
Kong Zhiyou confirmed her guess. "Yes, that's right. When I learned that my father-in-law would also be away, I planned to let Dongmei go home, and when the time comes, I would be the only one left at home, making it convenient to take things from the study."
Stealing?
"Just that when I arrived at the study, I heard some noise inside and knew that something unexpected had happened. I originally intended to leave, but then I heard a loud crash from inside. I didn't want to get involved, but I couldn't resist and went in to see. To my surprise, I saw him lying on the ground, dead, with his eyes wide open."
At that moment, Kong Zhiyou was frightened and ran away instinctively.
But after running a few steps, she came back again. After confirming that Chen Ji was indeed dead, she still didn't immediately report it but instead went into the study to find the things she wanted before shouting that someone had been killed.
At that time, Kong Zhiyou had no idea that Chen Ji was killed by Qiuju, but she had no other suspicious person in mind, so she naturally implicated her enemy.
Originally, Kong Zhiyou had thought of doing something more, directly pointing the evidence at Qiuju. However, she spent some time looking for things and worried that it might arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If she made a mistake and implicated herself, it wouldn't be good.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu asked, "What are these papers? Why did you want to find them?"
Kong Zhiyou smiled, but her complexion was pale, making her smile seem somewhat aged.
She said, "Qiuju didn't see the old man, but I did."
Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she sat up straight, "You saw him?"
"Yes, it was about five or six days ago. I had just finished my postpartum recovery and was planning to return to my mother's home." However, halfway there, she learned that her cousin, whom she had always had a bad relationship with, had also gone back to her mother's house. If she went back looking so miserable, she would surely be mocked, and she didn't want to be ridiculed. So, "I returned to the Chen family in the middle of the journey."
"Dongmei sent me back to report to my mother, so she didn't have to wait for me at home. That's why there was only one person entering the house, but I didn't expect that there would be a guest at home."
