Chapter 1011: UntitledTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Elder Hall.
The seven elders gathered. The Third Elder held a bloodstained pouch in his hand. This pouch was given to her by Nie Wanrou’s mother. She had been bringing it all along. Inside was a small bag of spices and some rouge from her daughter’s house.
His daughter was missing, but his daughter’s purse was stained with blood and picked up by the guards cleaning the event location. Who would believe that nothing had happened to his daughter?
The Third Elder gripped the pouch tightly and asked angrily, “Great Elder, what exactly is going on? What did the people you sent out do to Wanrou?”
The Great Elder retorted, “Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you! Do you know who brought those spies out of the Wen Manor and out of the Sorcerer Clan? It’s your good daughter!”
The Third Elder said sternly, “She’s also your granddaughter-in-law now!”
The Great Elder said indifferently, “That’s why I didn’t cause trouble for you. Don’t push everything to me!”
The Second Elder went forward and said, “Alright, alright. The two of you, stop arguing. Let’s hear what the guards have to say. Someone, call the guards who have seen Mrs. Wen!”
A few guards walked forward respectfully. Among this group of people were the guards of the Wen Manor, the guards guarding the city, and the guards who had participated in the capture.
The Wen Manor guard said, “Second Madam said that she’s going back to her maiden home. She said that the carriage is filled with small gifts for her maiden family.”
The guard said, “Mrs. Wen said that a batch of goods came from another village. She wants to take a look.”
Upon hearing this, the elders revealed strange expressions. Their excuses did not match and they were clearly lying.
But why would she lie?
If she said that she did this for Wen Xu, no one present would believe her. Everyone knew about her relationship with Wen Xu. It was already good that she did not stab Wen Xu. How could she work for Wen Xu?
Could it be that… she was being held hostage? Or did someone poison her? Was she casted with sorcery?
Countless guesses flashed through everyone’s minds. Even the Third Elder, who had always trusted his daughter, could not help but have a solemn expression. He was confident that with his daughter’s character, she would not be easily threatened, but it was a different matter if she was poisoned by a Gu or sorcery.
The Third Elder’s gaze landed on the last guard. “What about you? When did
you see my daughter?”
The guard said, “Third Elder, I saw Mrs. Wen at the event location where she was killed.”
The Third Elder’s expression changed. “Continue!”
“Yes!” The guard lowered his head and said, “When I saw Mrs. Wen, she was with that group of people. Lord Wen Xu wanted to leave with Mrs. Wen… We planned to save her, but we were too late and Mrs. Wen was killed!” “What?” The Third Elder’s expression changed.
The guard said loudly, “It was Lord Wen Xu who killed her! However… that person is not the real Lord Wen Xu. I heard him say it himself that his name is
Dawa!”
After leaving the Elder Hall, the Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder caught up to the Third Elder.
