Chapter 525: Chapter 525

When Zhuge Yu heard Elder Liu’s words, he was also shocked. He thought he knew everything. However, he had never heard of such a small matter regarding the Murong family. If someone else told him this, he would definitely not believe it. However, the person who told him this was his boss. He believed his boss’s words.

“Sir, you’re saying that Murong Jie was killed by his wife, Matriarch Murong? How… How is this possible?” Zhuge Yu asked in surprise.

“What’s impossible about that? Murong Jie and Matriarch Murong didn’t have a good relationship to begin with. Matriarch Murong has always known that Murong Jie had a mistress. However, she has always chosen to turn a blind eye. It wasn’t until the woman got pregnant and gave birth to a boy that the old woman from the Murong family felt a sense of crisis. She had even overheard Murong Jie talking to his confidant, saying that he wanted to divorce her and marry his mistress. If Murong Jie really divorced her and married his mistress, then she would have nothing left. Not only her, but her child would suffer as well. Her status would change, so she had developed a murderous intent towards Murong Jie. The medicine she gave him slowly weakened Murong Jie’s body bit by bit until he died.” Elder Liu finished speaking, he could not help but sigh.

The number of people who knew about this matter could be counted on one hand. Those who knew about it either had Murong Jie as a political enemy, or like Elder Liu, did not have much of a relationship with him. Therefore, everyone also chose to turn a blind eye.

“Sir, back then, Matriarch Murong had spent so much effort to get someone to take the Little Miss away from the Qu family. Was it because the Little Miss was interfering with her interests, or was it a plan?” Zhuge Yu told Elder Liu his guess.

On the document that Zhuge Yu had obtained, there was a detailed record of how Matriarch Murong had single-handedly planned the entire process of taking Chen Meng’er away from the Qu family, however, not a single word mentioned the purpose of the plan.

“Mm, if I’m not wrong, it should be Matriarch Murong herself. She had always wanted to grab hold of the Qu family. And at that time, everyone in the capital knew that Elder Qu wanted a granddaughter with all his heart. And it just so happened, that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Murong family had just given birth to a girl. I remember that Matriarch Murong was very happy at that time. Everyone had even wondered why Matriarch Murong, who had a very strict preference for sons over daughters, was so weird this time. Now that they thought about it, they finally understood that the Matriarch Murong had planned to use this girl to win over the Qu family. However, she had not expected that her own daughter would give birth to a pair of twins. This boy and girl were both born. It also disrupted her plan. In addition, she saw Elder Qu pampering that girl. This angered her even more, and she arranged such a plan.” Elder Liu explained the speculations in his heart one by one.

Just as Elder Liu and Zhuge Yu were analyzing Matriarch Murong’s motive for planning this incident, Chen Meng’er also received the information from Zhou Yunjie.

“Little Miss, these is the information you wanted. Go through it first. If there is anything missing, tell me and I will investigate.” Zhou Yunjie said as he handed the information to Chen Meng’er.

“Alright, I got it.” Chen Meng’er took the information and began to read through it.

Chen Meng’er had never thought that her so-called grandmother would be so vicious. She had actually laid her hands on her own granddaughter. She was truly full of admiration. “She’s really a person who will do anything for the sake of power.” Chen Meng’er looked at the information and was so angry that she laughed.

She threw the information on the table and said, “Hmph, since she values power so much along with the Murong family. Then I will destroy everything that she values so much.”

After Chen Meng’er finished speaking, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She picked up the information that she had just thrown on the table and handed it to Zhou Yunjie. “Send this to the Qu family. Let the Qu family handle this matter.” Chen Meng’er really wanted to personally deal with Matriarch Murong, however, she suddenly wanted to see how the Qu family would react when they found out that it was Matriarch Murong who had done this and how they would handle this matter.

And the Qu family’s handling of this matter also determined whether Chen Meng’er would acknowledge the Qu family. This could also be considered as Chen Meng’er’s test to the Qu family.

Zhou Yunjie also understood her intentions, so he very nimbly took the information that she handed over and replied, “Yes.”

“Also, don’t let the Qu family know that this information was sent over by our people.” Chen Meng’er warned.

“Alright, Little Miss, I understand.” Zhou Yunjie replied. After Zhou Yunjie took the information out, Chen Meng’er sat down. Her heart was still uncomfortable. She thought that if she knew about this matter, her grandfather, Elder Liu, would definitely know as well. She thought that with her grandfather’s temper, he would probably not be able to resist wanting to teach the Murong family a lesson for her.

Thinking of this, Chen Meng’er quickly stood up and went to look for her grandfather, Elder Liu.

“Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er found the study room along the way. She called out for him as soon as she entered the room.

Elder Liu had not even seen Chen Meng’er when he heard her voice, “Little girl, What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Grandpa, I really have something to talk to you about.” Chen Meng’er walked in and saw Zhuge Yu standing at the side. She understood in her heart that her grandpa had seen the information long ago. “Uncle Zhuge, you’re here too. That’s good. I have something to tell you.”

“What is it? Tell me.” Elder Liu drank a mouthful of tea.

“You already know who the mastermind behind the plan to take away the Qu family’s child is, right? I want you to stay out of this matter,” Chen Meng’er said straightforwardly.

“Why? Also, how do you know that I will definitely make a move?” Elder Liu asked in return. After all, apart from him, only Zhuge Yu knew about the paternity test for Chen Meng’er and the Qu family’s fourth son. As Elder Liu spoke, he raised his head to look at Zhuge Yu, wondering if Zhuge Yu had revealed something to Chen Meng’er.

Zhuge Yu saw the way his boss looked at him and shook his head at him. He had never said anything to the Little Miss.

“Because I am the child of the Qu family who was taken away,” said Chen Meng’er.
