The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#465 - Wen Qingqing's explosive news

Lu Jing followed the direction of her finger and saw a piece of rice paper with the words: "Arriving late at night uninvited, only because I have important news to tell. I hope Great Hero Lu will not be offended."

Then Wen Qingqing handed Lu Jing a writing brush and a well-ground inkstone.

Lu Jing knew that Wen Qingqing was worried that the two of them would be overheard by Li Bufan and the others living not far away, so she used writing instead of speaking.

Her actions were understandable.

Putting aside how confidential the matter she wanted to discuss was, just the fact that she, as Jin Duoduo's wife, ran into another man's room late at night was enough to make people gossip about her for the rest of her life.

If she encountered a husband who couldn't tolerate infidelity, he might even write a letter of divorce directly.

However, this also showed how much determination Wen Qingqing had to come to Lu Jing tonight, or rather, how unfavorable Jin Duoduo's current situation was.

If it weren't for her husband, Wen Qingqing probably wouldn't have done such a shocking thing.

Fortunately, Lu Jing was not a pedantic Confucian scholar. He didn't directly scold Wen Qingqing and tell her to leave with self-respect. He decided to listen to Wen Qingqing's intentions before making a decision.

So, Lu Jing took the brush from Wen Qingqing's hand and wrote on the paper, "I wonder why Madam Jin has come?"

Wen Qingqing also found another brush and carefully wrote down the words, "My husband is innocent."

Lu Jing shook his head, indicating that he couldn't help either.

Although Lu Jing also suspected that Jin Duoduo was framed, mainly because after Jin Duoduo killed someone, he didn't take advantage of the fact that no one had noticed to leave Wen Family Village immediately. Instead, he sat there foolishly for an afternoon, waiting for others to suspect him. This action was really... a bit too stupid.

If he was the murderer, how could he not know that Lu Jing and the others couldn't find other murderers at all? At that time, the blame would definitely fall on his head.

But on the other hand, Lu Jing had to admit that in terms of the time of the murder and the methods used, only Jin Duoduo could have done it.

The only reason why Lu Jing didn't believe as firmly as others that Jin Duoduo was the murderer was that he knew that there were still strange objects in this world.

But could it be that Jiang Lei's death also involved strange objects?

To be honest, Lu Jing was skeptical about this. He wasn't some elementary school student who would encounter landslides and earthquakes wherever he went. Even with his Latent Spirit constitution, there was no reason for him to encounter strange objects so frequently.

Wen Qingqing wasn't too surprised by Lu Jing's reaction. She just pursed her lips and continued to write on the paper, "I know why my husband went to find Jiang Lei at that time."

Oh? Lu Jing finally became interested when he saw this sentence. He had always been curious. Now that things had reached this point, Jin Duoduo still refused to reveal why he went to Jiang Lei's room. His mouth was a bit too hard, wasn't it? Didn't he want to clear his name?

Lu Jing gestured for Wen Qingqing to continue writing.

However, when the time came, Wen Qingqing hesitated again. But in the end, her concern for her husband suppressed the concerns in her heart. She picked up the pen again and wrote, "Because of my second sister."

Wen Lun? Lu Jing was very surprised.

But this time, without him urging, Wen Qingqing had already continued to write: "Wen Lun is having an affair with my husband."

This revelation was too explosive, so much so that it took Lu Jing a long time to digest it. Wen Lun and Jin Duoduo had a thing? This was too exciting, wasn't it?!

But indeed, in this way, it became very easy to understand why Jin Duoduo was unwilling to say why he went to Jiang Lei's room, because once this matter was exposed, it would undoubtedly ruin his and Wen Lun's reputations.

And the most important thing was that it would further confirm Jin Duoduo's identity as the murderer.

In fact, Lu Jing could already roughly reconstruct the process of the murder at this time.

Most likely, Jiang Lei discovered the affair between Jin Duoduo and Wen Lun, so Jiang Lei and Jin Duoduo, who were originally unrelated, agreed to meet. This matter was considered a family scandal for Jiang Lei, so it was normal for him to handle it privately without telling others.

Even if Jin Duoduo was vigilant, he had to meet Jiang Lei in the face of the risk of exposure.

It was just that after seeing Jin Duoduo, Jiang Lei probably couldn't control his anger, and even threatened to kill Jin Duoduo. Unexpectedly, Jin Duoduo took the lead and killed him instead.

But wait, this still doesn't explain why Jin Duoduo didn't escape from Wen Family Village immediately after killing someone, and Wen Lun's subsequent reaction was also a bit strange…

But before thinking about these questions, Lu Jing decided to verify Wen Qingqing's shocking revelation first, so he wrote, "How do you know?"

In Lu Jing's opinion, with Jin Duoduo's martial arts skills, it shouldn't have been Wen Qingqing who caught him and Wen Lun in the act.

Wen Qingqing continued to write.

My second sister has loved rose water since she was a child, and the rose water she likes is very special. It is made from the unique rose flowers from a small country called Tianxiang in the Western Regions. It is very rare in the Central Plains.

However, about half a year ago, I smelled the scent of rose water on my husband's clothes, and then I smelled it several times.

But it wasn't until four days ago that I finally confirmed that the fragrance did indeed come from my second sister.

Lu Jing didn't know what to say after reading it. On the one hand, he was saddened by the fact that Jin Duoduo and Wen Lun were entangled, and on the other hand, he admired Wen Qingqing.

This woman looks like a rich lady who only knows how to spend money on the surface, but in reality, she is also a ruthless character. Few women can remain calm after discovering that their man has been cheating for half a year, pretending that nothing has happened, let alone that Jin Duoduo's affair partner is his second sister.

If Jin Duoduo hadn't been suspected of being the murderer this time, she probably wouldn't have revealed this matter.

Wen Qingqing paused, and then continued to write.

Great Hero Lu, you are not very familiar with my second sister, so you probably don't know what kind of person she is, but based on my understanding of her, I can be sure that she would not do such a thing as being buried with her husband.

Not to mention that she clearly used a Buddha's Fury, but she suffered almost no fatal injuries herself.

What do you want to say? Lu Jing's expression changed as he wrote.

I actually don't want to say this, but the death of Hall Master Jiang is likely related to my second sister. Yesterday, for the grandmother's birthday celebration, my second sister was the last to arrive…

Wen Qingqing was about to continue writing, but at this moment, a scream suddenly rang out in the distance!

Lu Jing was startled at first, but after hearing that the voice wasn't Wen Xiaochuan's, he felt a little relieved. Then, he heard a creaking sound from Li Bufan's room next door, which meant that Li Bufan had already gotten out of bed and was rushing to the place where the scream came from.
