It was impossible to hide the fact that Zhao Xiaoxi was Yuan Wenye, so First Lady Yuan admitted it. After all, they were on the same side.
However, she was determined not to admit that she had something to do with Zhao Xiaoxi's death. She was also afraid that Second Lady Yuan and Lady Peng would be suspicious, so she made it clear first.
As a result, Second Lady Yuan and Lady Peng's suspicions towards First Lady Yuan were reduced, but they still did not believe her completely.
However, even if it was really related to First Lady Yuan, they would not tell anyone. After all, it would not do them any good.
"Yes, we understand," Second Lady Yuan and Lady Peng said immediately.
In fact, Yuan Wenye did not know about Zhao Xiaoxi's death. At that time, he and First Lady Yuan only discussed giving Zhao Xiaoxi a sum of money to let her leave the capital and not have anything to do with the Yuan Family for the rest of her life.
Therefore, Yuan Wenye always thought that Zhao Xiaoxi just took the money and left.
On the other side, Lady Xu and the others were still eating and chatting.
"By the way, Gu Ning, what do you think are the chances of Jing Chen and Beiying being together?" Lady Xu asked. Although Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying were now boyfriend and girlfriend, Zi Beiying's family was in Singapore, so she was still worried that they would not be together.
"Well, I can't say for sure. After all, it depends on the person involved in the relationship," Gu Ning said. It was not easy to judge this matter.
Hearing this, Lady Xu became a little unhappy. She was really worrying about her son's relationship!
"You don't have to think so much. If it's him, it won't run away. If it's not him, you can't keep it even if you force it," Yan Min comforted her. Relationships could not be forced!
"Yes! You don't have to think too much. Let them develop on their own! "Jing Yunyao also comforted her.
"I can't wait for them to get married immediately!" Lady Xu said.

That night, First Lady Yuan had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhao Xiaoxi came to her for revenge, and she was so scared that she screamed in her sleep.
"No, no, no …"
First Mistress Yuan's movements immediately woke Yuan Wenye, who was beside her.
Yuan Wenye woke up. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan had a nightmare, he immediately went to shake her. "Yuru, wake up, wake up …"
First Mistress Yuan's real name was Zheng Yu Ru.
Zheng Yuru didn't wake up, and continued to shout in fear, "No, don't come to me, don't come to me, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you …"
When Yuan Wenye heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Zheng Yuru said "I didn't kill you", Yuan Wenye was not a simple-minded person. From a psychological point of view, Zheng Yuru's words meant that she had something to do with this person's death, regardless of whether she was the one who killed him or not. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dreamt that he came looking for her!
Who was the one who was killed?
Yuan Wenye wasn't a coward, and he had harmed many people for his own interests, but he had never killed anyone before.
Therefore, no matter how bold he was, he was still afraid of killing people.
At this moment, Yuan Wenye didn't wake Zheng Yuru up. Instead, he asked, "Who was killed?"
Although Yuan Wenye wasn't sure if he could get the answer out of her, he still had to try. Some people could really talk in their sleep.
"Zhao Xiaoxi, Zhao Xiaoxi, don't come to me, don't come to me, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you …"
It was unknown whether Zheng Yuru heard Yuan Wenye's question or it was a coincidence, but Zheng Yuru said Zhao Xiaoxi's name.
Hearing this, Yuan Wenye's body trembled. He couldn't believe it.
What? Zhao Xiaoxi was dead?
And it had something to do with Zheng Yuru?
Didn't she tell him that she gave Zhao Xiaoxi a sum of money to leave the capital and not to have anything to do with the Yuan Family?
But now …
Although Zhao Xiaoxi was only an illegitimate daughter and Yuan Wenye didn't like her, she was still his daughter. If she just left the capital, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if she died, he would still feel sad.
Most importantly, Zhao Xiaoxi's death had something to do with Zheng Yuru, which he couldn't accept.
"Zheng Yuru, wake up!" Yuan Wenye immediately pulled Zheng Yuru's body rudely and shouted in anger.
Zheng Yuru woke up with a start. Because of the nightmare, Zheng Yuru's forehead was covered with sweat.
Zheng Yuru heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that the terrifying scene was just a dream. However, she was a little confused when she saw Yuan Wenye staring at her with a dark expression. "Hubby, what's wrong?"
Zheng Yuru knew that she had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhao Xiaoxi came to take revenge on her, but she didn't know that Yuan Wenye had heard it, so she didn't think that Yuan Wenye's expression had something to do with Zhao Xiaoxi's death.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Yuan Wenye suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.
Zheng Yuru didn't think further and answered, "Yeah!"
At this moment, Zheng Yuru was still in shock.
Luckily, it was just a dream.
"What did you dream about?" Yuan Wenye asked.
Hearing that, Zheng Yuru panicked a little and avoided his eyes. "It's nothing. I just had a dream about a ghost."
"A ghost? Did you do something wrong? "Yuan Wenye was still holding back his anger as he asked.
"How is it possible?" Hearing that, Zheng Yuru subconsciously denied it. However, because she was in a hurry to deny it, it was obvious that she felt guilty.
"How long are you going to keep it a secret from me? Tell me, did you do anything to Zhao Xiaoxi?" Yuan Wenye couldn't stand it anymore and questioned her in anger.
Hearing that, Zheng Yuru was struck dumb. How did he know that she had done anything to Zhao Xiaoxi? Could it be that she had blurted it out in her dream just now?
"You killed her, didn't you?" Yuan Wenye asked. Of course, this was a bluff.
"No, it wasn't me. It was Song Yang." Hearing that, Zheng Yuru subconsciously denied it. She didn't want to be mistaken as Zhao Xiaoxi's murderer, but once she said that, it meant that she admitted that she had something to do with Zhao Xiaoxi's death.
She knew that Song Yang had killed Zhao Xiaoxi, but she had never told Yuan Wenye, which meant that she was Song Yang's accomplice.
However, she couldn't take it back now. Seeing Yuan Wenye's expression, Zheng Yuru immediately explained, "Wenye, let me explain. I didn't kill Zhao Xiaoxi. It was Song Yang."
