Chapter 1526 Identifying Each Other
Shu Yu shook his head with a smile, and after seeing the ceremony, he stepped aside and stood next to Meng Yunzheng.
She is the queen of the village, and Meng Yunzheng is a scholar with great fame, so neither of them needs to kneel.
Oh, there is another person standing aside, that is Kong Zhiyou's husband, Chen Xiucai, who is also famous.
But at this time, Chen Xiucai was in a daze. It was probably because he couldn't accept his father's death. He stood there motionless with a feeling of depression.
His eyes were red and covered with red bloodshot eyes, and he just stared at Kong Zhiyou.
Obviously, he probably believed that she was the one who killed Chen Ji.
Kong Zhiyou didn't look at him, she just raised her eyes and glanced at Shu Yu, with a trace of frustration in her eyes.
Shu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Hey, hey, hey, what's this expression?" It was as if he would maliciously target her if he appeared here.
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked at Master Xie sitting behind the desk.
Jingtangmu slapped him hard, Mr. Xie straightened his back with a sullen face, and said loudly, "Okay, since Mr. Lu Xiang is here, let's continue."

Probably because he was afraid that Shu Yu would not understand the cause and effect, Master Xie simply explained it.
"Last night on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Chen Ji died at home. The test results showed that Chen Ji died from eating arsenic. The arsenic was in the noodles. The time of death was around 2:00 a.m. last night. Kong, the wife of the Chen family, identified the concubine. Qiu Ju accused Kong of murdering her father-in-law. According to Qiu Ju, she met Lu Xiangjun by the Nanjiang River at 3:30 last night. Nanjiang River is some distance away from the Chen family. There is no way to go back and forth. Mr. Lu Xiang, I wonder if what Qiu Ju said is true?"
Shu Yu nodded, "I did see Qiu Ju around three quarters of the year."
She remembered the time so clearly because after Qiu Ju left, she heard the two girls setting off lanterns by the river discussing how they planned to go back as it was getting late.
After hearing Shu Yu's answer, Mr. Xie looked at Meng Yuncheng again.
The latter nodded, "Indeed."
Qiu Ju smiled when she heard this, but Kong Zhiyou swayed.
Mr. Xie patted the gavel again and looked at Kong Zhiyou, "Mr. Kong, Qiu Ju was not at home when old scholar Chen was killed. What else can you say?"
Kong Zhiyou gritted her teeth, raised her head and said, "Sir, just because she's not here, it doesn't mean she didn't do it. She could have put arsenic in the noodles in advance. If my father-in-law eats it when he's hungry, he will be poisoned and die."
Qiu Ju immediately said, "Sir, this is simply impossible. The noodles are wrapped in soup and will become lumpy if left out for a long time. My husband in the family is very particular about food, and there is absolutely no way he would eat noodles that have become lumpy."
She kowtowed and said quickly and urgently, "My mistress is very likely to make noodles and serve them to the master. There were only two people at home last night, the mistress and the master, and she was the one who had the best chance to make a move. Sir, I dare not lie to me. The young mistress had a miscarriage earlier. She was resentful of my miscarriage, so she falsely accused me of doing it. But both the master and the young master felt that the young mistress was making trouble unreasonably and took my side. Therefore, the young mistress was very angry with the master. The young master holds a grudge, and it is very possible to take advantage of the fact that there is no one at home and poison the master to avenge himself."
Kong Zhiyou suddenly raised her eyes and glared at her fiercely, "You're talking nonsense."
"Then how do you explain the young lady's decision to let Dongmei go home last night? Wasn't she sent away by you?"
