Chapter 914 It must have been him who caused this!
Changping hesitated upon hearing this. After a moment's thought, she said:
"Before I go to the Qi family to give my instructions, I would like to meet with Young Master Qi first."
Now that things have escalated to this point, everything is different from what she initially thought. She hasn't figured out what to do yet, but the person she wants to see most is Jun-sung.
She wanted to talk things out with Juncheng so that she could accept whatever the outcome might be.
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun and Lord Sun exchanged a glance, both of them knowing very well who Changping truly loved.
"You can go see her if you want, but she's changed so much now, and you might be heartbroken if you meet her. You should be prepared for that."
Lord Sun's eyes were full of heartache. As an elder, he could see at a glance what the outcome would be if such a thing happened.
This marriage is impossible...
Not to mention the Qi family, even they would never agree to it.
With a despicable person like Qi Junming in the Qi family, who knows what he might do even more outrageous things in the future if he can do something like this now?
They are brothers, and even though their relationship is strained, they are still family. It is absolutely impossible for them to completely cut off contact between the two brothers.
Seeing their expressions, Song Ruozhen was unsure whether to reveal the truth.
However, at that moment, Yunyang walked over.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince requests your presence at the Dali Temple. He needs your assistance with Qi Juncheng's case."
Yunyang came at the behest of his own Crown Prince. After Qing Teng sent word that the Crown Princess had gone to the Changping Princess’s residence, the Crown Prince instructed him to come and fetch her.
Although he expected that Princess Changping's residence wouldn't dare to make things difficult for the Crown Princess, it was already late, and the Crown Prince didn't want the Crown Princess to be too troubled.
Song Ruozhen didn't expect Yun Yang to arrive just in time, and it was too late to stop him.
Princess Changping happened to overhear those words and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What case does Juncheng have?"
Meng Qin and the Sun couple were also completely baffled. Qi Juncheng had always been law-abiding, so what kind of case could he have gotten into?
"I understand. Let's leave now," Song Ruozhen said to Yunyang.
"Your Highness, could you tell me what exactly happened in Juncheng?"
Princess Changping asked anxiously, "Could it be that he also discovered that Qi Junming used a spell?"
“I originally thought it best for you not to know about this, but I didn’t expect to run into you. If you really want to know, then you’d better be prepared,” Song Ruozhen said.
Princess Changping's expression gradually turned serious. Through Song Ruozhen's expression, she realized that this matter might be more serious than she had imagined.
"Please speak, Your Highness. I can bear whatever the consequences may be."
Meng Qin looked on with curiosity, thinking that even if this matter was serious, it couldn't be that serious.
However, the moment Song Ruozhen finished speaking, everyone in the room changed their expressions.
Qi Juncheng is dead.
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake; everyone's heart skipped a beat, their eyes widened in surprise, and they wondered if they had misheard.
"Your Highness, what did you say? Could you please repeat it?"
Song Ruozhen said again, "You heard right, Qi Juncheng is dead. He just died tonight."
Meng Qin instinctively covered her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Qi Juncheng is the most valued person in the Qi family this generation. How could he possibly die?” Meng Qin said.
Princess Changping's eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up uncontrollably, but her heart was filled with even more hatred:
"It's Qi Junming! It must be him!"
Seeing Princess Changping's behavior, Song Ruozhen seemed to know something and asked:
"Princess, do you know something? This case is currently under investigation. If you know any useful information, we can solve the case as soon as possible."
Princess Changping gritted her teeth and said, "There can't be anyone else but Qi Junming!"
Today, Qi Junming coaxed me to his place and got me drunk. Because my parents don't agree to my marriage to him, he kept complaining to me, saying that my parents were trying to break us up.
If this marriage cannot be finalized soon, it will be even more difficult to finalize it later.
At this point, Princess Changping looked somewhat embarrassed, but she still recounted the whole story.
“I had no control over what I did before. All I could think about was how to marry him, as if it would be worth it no matter what I had to give up to marry him.”
"Changping, you..."
Madam Sun's expression changed drastically. She hadn't known about this before, but even though Changping hadn't finished speaking, just by listening, it wasn't hard to guess what would happen next.
Those despicable and shameless bastards, lacking ability themselves, always resort to such underhanded methods.
"Don't worry, Mother, he didn't succeed," Changping quickly said.
Everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully their plan hadn't succeeded.
"It was Jun-sung who rushed over and stopped it all; the two of them even got into a fight over it."
As Changping spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears. She thought about how she had said so many harsh and heartless things to Qi Juncheng during this time, and how he must be feeling terrible.
Even under these circumstances, he did not despise himself and would still stand up for her at such times because he did not want her to be deceived, and even more so because he did not want her to do something that he would regret.
She had intended to repent, apologize, and make amends for everything, but she never expected that Juncheng had already gotten into trouble, and she didn't even have the chance to make amends!
"It must be that Qi Junming felt that Juncheng had ruined his plans, so he killed him!"
Princess Changping's eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred. She clenched her fists and said, "There is no other possibility but him!"
During this time I spent with him, I could tell from his words that he was jealous of Juncheng, jealous of his talent and knowledge, and felt that although they were brothers, he was treated worse than Juncheng in the mansion.
Over the years, he has harbored resentment, and I believe that even my existence is due to his unease.
That's why he resorted to such insidious methods; in this way, he could say he had won against Juncheng!
Song Ruozhen understood perfectly. In fact, ever since she learned of Qi Juncheng's death, she knew that it was most likely Qi Junming who did it.
Now that they've heard what Princess Changping said, the matter is even more certain.
"I still have to go to Dali Temple, so I'll take my leave now."
Song Ruozhen didn't say much. Judging from the way Princess Changping was acting, this matter would definitely not be easily let go.
The Qi family is truly in deep trouble right now.
Not only did they lose their most promising son, but the criminals were also their own doing, not to mention the families who were under a love curse and wouldn't let it go easily...
