With Wei San and Wei Si taking the lead, the dozen or so witnesses all swore Heart Demon Oaths.
How could they not speak after they swore Heart Demon Oaths? If they were bribed by someone else, it would be too strange.
Chu Xiang smiled. "Come, all of you. You must tell me everything you know about this matter. You must tell me everything you know about this matter. Otherwise, the Wei Clan will accuse me of framing them. "
"Lin Mu!" The Wei Clan Patriarch and the other Wei Clan members all looked displeased, as if they wanted to take responsibility for Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang leaned back in her soft chair indifferently. "Let's begin. I hate dealing with shameless people the most."
Chu Xiang's every word was like a stab to the Wei Clan's lungs. Someone from the Wei Clan tried to make a move, but was beaten back by Jin Zhen. The Wei Clan Patriarch had no choice but to intervene. His voice was heard even before his figure was seen. "You arrogant people, don't think you can behave atrociously in my Wei Clan!"
The Wei Clan Patriarch flew over on his sword and lightly struck out with his palm. A huge palm print fell from the sky, heading straight for Jin Zhen.
Jin Zhen chuckled. He didn't make a move at all, but directly threw out a high-grade defensive magic treasure. "Good timing. You can try out my newly refined magic treasure."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They knew Jin Zhen was good at refining tools. All of his tools were mid-grade, with the occasional high-grade magic treasure. But the magic treasure he took out today was a high-grade magic treasure!
Jin Zhen's tool refining skills had improved so much. Was it all because of Lin Mu's guidance? If that was the case, they would also protect Lin Mu like this if they were in his shoes!
That magic treasure was refined by Chu Xiang and Jin Zhen together, so it was naturally very powerful. Even if that palm strike was from a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would still dissipate when it collided with the magic treasure.
Jin Zhen took back the magic treasure and fiddled with it. "It seems you're still refining it well."
Chu Xiang was all smiles. "So the Wei Clan is relying on a Nascent Soul ancestor to run amok in the South Shore Continent? They're really sparing no effort to prevent witnesses from telling the truth. Is this old man going to kill the witnesses I found with great difficulty with a slap next? "
The Wei Clan was clearly angry because she targeted them, but her words successfully shifted everyone's attention to the testimony. What was going on with the Wei Clan? They had interrupted the witnesses time and time again. Whether they were innocent or not, wouldn't they know after listening to them? After all, they had sworn a heart demon oath!
Everyone was no longer silent, and their gazes towards the Wei clan also became vigilant. Especially that Nascent Soul ancestor. Wasn't it because of this person that the Wei Clan became the number one clan? Chu Xiang wasn't wrong at all. They naturally had to guard against what this Nascent Soul stage ancestor wanted to do.
The Nascent Soul stage ancestor snorted and sat on the main seat vacated by the Wei clan head. "Son, don't talk nonsense. This old man wants to see how these people you found are going to slander my Wei clan."
The Wei Clan missed out on the Chu Clan's treasures, and the Nascent Soul Realm ancestor personally went to see it. As the saying goes, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Naturally, he was not afraid. Moreover, he was used to being the number one person on the south bank. He didn't take people like Chu Xiang seriously at all. Whether it was right or wrong, it was wrong for someone to offend him.
Chu Xiang liked his arrogance very much, because the more arrogant he was, the easier it was for everyone to turn against him. If the Wei Clan could produce a person like Wei Lingxiao, how good could the Wei Clan head and the Nascent Soul stage ancestor be? Seeing them today, they were indeed trash!
Chu Xiang motioned for the witnesses to speak. Immediately, the maids, servants, guards, gardeners, and others described in detail what the Chu Clan's daily life was like.
"After Wei Lingxiao and my older sister got engaged, he was very cold the first few times he came. When he met my older sister in the garden, he was a little disdainful. We servants are the best at observing people's expressions. At that time, my older sister was shy and didn't dare to look at him, but he saw everything clearly. "
"I served Zhou Xinlian. After my older sister got engaged, she was happy on the surface, but when I was cleaning the room, I found two broken cups. Zhou Xinlian broke them by accident, but her cultivation wasn't low. She hadn't broken a cup for many years. After that, I followed her and met Wei Lingxiao in the garden. She took the initiative to talk to Wei Lingxiao. She worshipped the first young master. "
"Wei Lingxiao has come to the Chu family more often, but I've secretly seen him meet Zhou Xinlian twice in private. That was two years ago."
"The day before the Master and Madam passed away, Zhou Xinlian saw Wei Lingxiao and cried. Wei Lingxiao comforted her for a long time."
"Before the Master and Madam passed away, they ate Zhou Xinlian's hometown dishes. She didn't like to cook at all. "
"My mother-in-law's old friend's daughter served the Madam. After the Madam passed away, we found her body. It was too chaotic at that time, and Zhou Xinlian had to pray for the Master and Madam. She dismissed all of us, and we couldn't find anyone to take charge. Now that I think about it, it's very likely that she killed us to keep us quiet. "
"I entered the Chu Clan after the Master and Madam passed away. Wei Lingxiao came to the Chu Clan almost every day. Every day, he would stay in Zhou Xinlian's room for a long time. He didn't allow us to come close and disturb him."
"I also entered the Chu Clan later. I was one of the servants who beat up Sister in the photostone that day. That day, Zhou Xinlian wanted to steal Sister's jade gourd pendant. It was said that the pendant was the key to enter the Chu Clan's forbidden area. At that time, Sister refused to give it to her, so Zhou Xinlian told us to beat her and insult her. Then Wei Lingxiao came and saw it. Not only did he not stop us, he even told us to teach that trash a lesson. In the end, he snatched the jade gourd and gave it to Zhou Xinlian. "
"Nonsense!" Master Wei angrily rebuked.
This time, Chu Xiang didn't need to speak. The Li Clan and Liu Clan disagreed.
"Master Wei, don't be impatient. These people swore an Oath of the Heart Demon. How can they lie? It turns out that the key to enter the Chu Clan's forbidden area has been obtained by you. I was wondering why the Chu Clan's virtuous niece was still tightly holding onto the necklace when she was beaten up like that in the photostone. It turns out … Ha. "
Chu Xiang curled the corner of her mouth. An Oath of the Heart Demon wasn't a lie. There were many loopholes that could be exploited. For example, the jade gourd was the key to enter the Chu Clan's forbidden area. No one knew about this, and the servants naturally didn't know at the time. However, during this period, Chu Xiang had people inadvertently leak this information to him. When he found out, he naturally mentioned it. But this wasn't a lie, because the jade gourd was indeed the key to enter the Chu Clan's forbidden area.
Her words were skillful. Everyone who heard it mistakenly thought that Zhou Xinlian snatched the jade gourd to enter the forbidden area. This was very consistent with her motive of beating up Chu Xiang and snatching the jade gourd.
Master Wei took a deep breath and said coldly, "Even if Zhou Xinlian really knows the use of the jade gourd, she can tell from the photostone that my son definitely doesn't know. Zhou Xinlian also explained to my son that she snatched it because Chu Xiang's attitude wasn't good. So everyone shouldn't misunderstand the Wei Clan. "
Chu Xiang smiled again. "There's no hurry. Let's wait for them to finish. Don't tell me Master Wei doesn't even have this bit of patience? "
Master Wei stared at her coldly, but Chu Xiang didn't care at all. She signaled for the witnesses to continue.
Wei San and Wei Si were originally in charge of guarding the storehouse. They had always been Wei Lingxiao's personal bodyguards, so they knew more things. As soon as they opened their mouths, they exposed how Wei Lingxiao and Zhou Xinlian avoided people and which courtyard in the Imperial City they met in. After the Chu couple died, Wei Lingxiao asked Zhou Xinlian about the forbidden area and the storehouse.
At that time, they were considered Wei Lingxiao's confidants, so Zhou Xinlian didn't avoid them. She wanted to use those things as her dowry so that her status would be more worthy of Wei Lingxiao and she could be the young madam of the Wei Clan with a straight back.
After that, Zhou Xinlian sent Chu Xiang to a servant's room and ordered people to take away Chu Xiang's Daoist robes and other things and move them directly into Chu Xiang's courtyard. After that, she began to plunder all of the Chu Clan's finances. She didn't let go of a single thing and piled it all in the storehouse. There were a few times when Wei Lingxiao happened to be in the residence and went to take a look with her.
Wei Lingxiao's focus was on the Chu couple's courtyard. He checked their bedroom and study three times before stopping. Wei Lingxiao had also privately ordered the two of them to record what was in the storehouse and whether Zhou Xinlian had taken anything important or precious.
Later, the two of them were woken up from their coma and found that the Chu Clan was collapsing. Everything in the storehouse was gone. At the time, Wei Lingxiao and Zhou Xinlian had reprimanded them, but they had been unconscious for the entire afternoon. If Wei Lingxiao had taken anything from the storehouse, they wouldn't have known.
The servants guarding the door were at the place where the Chu Clan had collapsed. There was no suspicious person at the door. The servants walking around the courtyard didn't see anything unusual. Wei Lingxiao was still happily in Zhou Xinlian's room the moment before the collapse.
Most importantly, they were later captured by the Wei Clan and tortured. Many of them died. They were rescued by the puppets and luckily survived, but they didn't dare to appear in front of others. Today, they only wanted to expose the Wei Clan's true colors. If the Wei Clan treated them like this, what else could it be other than silencing them?
The last question wasn't a lie. After all, they really wanted to ask if the Wei Clan had silenced them. They also really guessed that the Wei Clan had instructed Zhou Xinlian to kill the Chu couple and take away the Chu Clan's things.
They were all guesses. How could guesses be taken seriously? It was just a question, so of course, it didn't violate the Heart Demon Oath because they weren't sure. They didn't lie to frame the Wei Clan. Everything was just their guess.
But it didn't sound like this to everyone. As they listened, they naturally guessed the same thing. Combined with everything that had happened before and after the Chu couple's death, wasn't the marriage between the Wei Clan and the Chu Clan for those treasures and spirit veins? Later, perhaps they didn't want to marry a good-for-nothing back, nor did they want to wait for the Chu couple to die naturally, so they simply killed them and swallowed the Chu Clan directly.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I heard that Wei Lingxiao is going to the Luo Continent this year? A meal in the Luo Continent is ten times more expensive than here. If you want to live comfortably, you have to have spirit stones and magic weapons. Could this be the reason why Wei Lingxiao can't wait? "
The Wei Clan Master snorted, "Everything is just speculation. How can you take it seriously? Don't put the blame on my son! "
Chu Xiang smiled and didn't say anything, but everyone felt that she was right.
Wei Lingxiao was going to the Luo Continent. Even if he married Chu Xiang and got a lot of things, it would only be a part of the Chu Clan. How could it be as satisfying as swallowing the entire Chu Clan? If he took the entire Chu Clan's wealth to the Luo Continent, he would definitely be able to enjoy life. Even if he entered a big sect and socialized with others, he would have enough confidence.
Not only did others think so, even the people of the Wei Clan's branch began to show doubts. The Clan Master had always told them that the Wei Clan didn't touch the Chu Clan's treasures. But what if the Clan Master hid the Chu Clan's treasures and gave them to Wei Lingxiao to the Luo Continent? This wasn't impossible!
