Chapter 209 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 59
Seeing the jailer hesitate, Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "You go with him. Make sure Aqing is safe."
Li Yuan wasn't stupid either. Based on his years of experience investigating and handling cases, he knew that many prisoners died in prison before being interrogated.
Although the two people in front of me are not bad people, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
There are too many people who are known by their appearance but not by their true nature; they may seem harmless on the surface, but behind the scenes they are cunning and treacherous villains.
Feng Xiangling had already taught him a harsh lesson.
When Li Yuan returned for questioning, Bai Jingjing and the others were nowhere to be seen.
The jailer dragged Aqing out and forced her to kneel on the ground.
"Ah Qing, do you know your crime!"
Although Aqing was young, she had long lost her initial innocence.
"Lord Li, I am innocent!"
Li Yuan jumped up from his seat.
He couldn't understand why such a young person could be so cunning and ruthless.
In his memory, the two sisters were innocent and carefree, and although their life was poor, they were content with their lot.
Moreover, Mu Wanwan had no grudge against her, so why would she want to kill her?
"The merchant has identified you as the one who worked in his shop and took care of the peach tree. And this peach tree just happened to end up in the Demon Lord's house, and the victim was his wife."
Aqing raised her head high and said, "Lord Li, you are framing me. You are convicting me based on the fact that I worked in his shop for only a few days. This is far too hasty."
Seeing that she was stubborn and refused to admit it, Li Yuan simply threw the clothes he had found in her bedchamber in front of her.
"These clothes are yours, you can't deny it! How do you explain that?"
She realized that Mu Wanwan might already know the truth.
"Aqing, you guessed right. I already know that Bai Jingjing and you sisters were the instigators. Making you admit it was just to give you a chance to change your ways. But the opportunity was right in front of you, and you didn't cherish it. So don't blame me."
Mu Wanwan gave Li Yuan a wink, and Li Yuan immediately ordered his men to drag A Qing out and hang her.
"How could this be? Our plan was flawless, how could you have seen through it so easily?"
Yan Shuo reached out and drew a line in the air, revealing to everyone the details of Bai Jingjing's confession to A Qing in prison.
Aqing collapsed to the ground, never expecting that Mu Wanwan would solve the case so easily.
"Ding! Affection level increased by 10, currently at 90! Keep it up, Master!"
At first, Yan Shuo didn't believe that Bai Jingjing was responsible. Bai Jingjing was just a wisp of soul, so how could she take the blood of so many young men to offer as a sacrifice?
He even felt that Wanwan's suspicions were somewhat absurd and baseless.
But Mu Wanwan asked him if he believed her!
In the end, he chose to believe her without hesitation, which is why he locked Aqing up next to the vendor.
Her predictions were spot on; the merchant indeed recognized Aqing.
It turned out that Aqing secretly slipped out during the day to work at the merchant's house. She volunteered to take care of the peach trees. The merchant was honest and kind-hearted, and seeing that she was young, he kept her at home to help out and gave her food.
That evening, with the help of Aqing and under the direction of Bai Jingjing, Ayao obtained the young man's blood with ease.
Then Bai Jingjing was in charge of secretly casting spells, and A Qing was in charge of burying the human blood and Mu Wanwan's hair under the tree.
"I've already told you! Please, Demon Lord and Madam, spare my sister and me! We were also bewitched by Bai Jingjing."
At Yan Shuo's signal, Li Yuan immediately left to take care of some business.
"Speak!" Mu Wanwan wasn't actually a ruthless person. Aqing and Ayao were indeed still young and easily led astray.
"Bai Jingjing said that the Demon Lord is his lover, and that you stole her lover. We also believe you are the third party because we believed her."
Yan Shuo had lost all hope in Bai Jingjing, and the last bit of gratitude he had felt vanished the moment he realized she was Wanwan's person.
"So, do you still consider me a third party?"
With a smile, Mu Wanwan nestled close to Yan Shuo.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Aqing shook her head. The matter had already been exposed, so what reason did she have to say that Mu Wanwan was a third party?
Li Yuan quickly pinned Bai Jingjing down, shouting, "Li Yuan, how dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"
Li Yuan is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Besides, the person she framed was Mu Wanwan, who was the white moonlight in his heart.
"I used to respect you as a great hero of the demon realm, but now you are nothing more than a despicable villain who framed others."
Bai Jingjing was tied up and couldn't break free, so she looked to Yan Shuo, who was in a higher position, for help.
But Yan Shuo's eyes were cold and unfamiliar, leaving her at a loss.
"Yan Shuo, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Shuo walked up to her expressionlessly, grabbed her neck tightly, and gritted his teeth.
"Bai Jingjing, no matter how much you schemed, you shouldn't have plotted against the person I love most!"
He then pushed Bai Jingjing to the ground, saying, "Mu Wanwan is the apple of my eye. How could you go to such lengths to scheme against Wanwan's demon essence?"
Mu Wanwan feigned sadness. If she hadn't pretended to have amnesia, how could Bai Jingjing and the others have let their guard down and come to provoke her?
Bai Jingjing vehemently denied it, "I don't know what you mean! You willingly took the demon essence from Mu Wanwan and gave it to me, and now you're turning around and framing me!"
Aqing crawled over and pointed at Bai Jingjing, "You still won't admit it? It was you, it was all you, you made my sister and me help you perform the forbidden technique."
Bai Jingjing forcefully shoved A Qing aside, saying, "A Qing, you're talking nonsense."
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know perfectly well in your heart! Just admit it, or do you really want to risk my sister's and my lives before you confess?"
Bai Jingjing's lips trembled, and she still refused to admit it.
"The Demon Lord and his wife already know everything you said to me in prison. So there's no need for you to hide it anymore."
Bai Jingjing's body went limp and weak, and she suddenly threw her head back and laughed.
Despite all her scheming and plotting, she was ultimately defeated by a woman with amnesia.
Even if she did it, so what?
She is Yan Shuo's savior!
"Yan Shuo, I just love you too much."
Yan Shuo was furious. "Love me? Your one-sided love shouldn't have cost Wanwan's demon essence and so many innocent lives."
Bai Jingjing didn't think these people were innocent. "If I didn't love you, why would I risk my life to save you?"
"A complete stranger, do you think I'd even glance at him?"
Mu Wanwan shielded Yan Shuo behind her, her expression calm and undisturbed.
"Bai Jingjing, your love is nothing but a burden to others."
Yan Shuo has said many times that he doesn't like you, but you are still stubbornly persistent.
They even staged a scene to steal my demon essence. If Yan Shuo hadn't protected me, I would have already reverted to my original form by now.
You still show no remorse.
Bai Jingjing sat on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. "Yan Shuo, I'm your savior. Even if I'm wrong, would you really kill me?"
