Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 282 - No valid reasons

282 No valid reasons

While Ji Meng was confessing, Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Liu Fei Fei who has followed the Emperor and asked, ” Did you really do it?” She did not want to skip anything that will help her understand the psychological condition of this man and the intentions behind his actions either which was she turned to look at Liu Fei Fei and asked whether or not she was really behind the killing of this man’s little lover.

” I did that but that’s not the entire truth,” Liu Fei Fei frowned as she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and started telling her everything that happened.

” She killed the one woman about whom I cared the most, isn’t it only right for me to kill her? What did I do wrong?” Ji Meng questioned with his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at the men in front of him, seeing him like this even Yu Lingyun who fought many wars seemed to be a bit at loss, he did not know what to say to this man after finding out that he lost the woman he loved in the past in the hands of Consort Liu.

In fact, even he thought that Consort Liu was too harsh on that maid for punishing her by getting her drowned in such a ruthless manner.

” Wow,” Liu Hui Ying clapped her hands as she looked at the man after she was done listening to Liu Fei Fei, she smiled at the man and then leaned forward as she said, ” That was really a touching story, maybe be try shedding those tears as well, you only touched my knees with your gripping story. Maybe if you cry, you might touch my liver a little as well.”

Her words caused the heartbroken atmosphere to be disrupted at once, Ji Meng turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and then glared at her hard as he said hatefully, ” You will never understand how I feel! You don’t know how I felt when I saw Xiao Bai’s corpse. You have never lost anyone how will you——”

He was still speaking when Liu Hui Ying lifted her foot and smashed it on the shoulder of the man causing him to roll back as she pushed him down with her feet and sneered coldly, ” I don’t need to tell you whether I have or I haven’t lost someone, but what I do need to tell you is that just losing someone does not hand you the right to take the destiny of someone’s else life in your hands, you son of a bitch.”

” And what did you say? That you did it because you wanted to avenge your little lover?” She hitched the corner of her lips upwards mockingly and then shook her head as she looked down at the man and said, ” No, you did not kill those women because you wanted to avenge that little lover of yours, you killed them because you wanted to satisfy those sick urges that you had in your head. There was countless way to avenge your lover but you chose the most sickest one of all of them? Why?”

She questioned while looking at the man who was lying on the floor and answered it for him, ” Because you wanted to. You are sick in the head, Lord Ji …there is no justifiable excuse for this little vengeance trip that you took other than your head being completely sick.” ｆ𝓇𝘦𝚎𝑤e𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵe𝗹. c𝒐𝘮

Ji Meng looked at Liu Hui Ying as if he was enchanted, he wanted to say something in response to her claims but he could only open and close his mouth like he was enchanted by something, he could not speak anything instead he simply stared at Liu Hui Ying who had her feet resting on his shoulder.

” If you wanted to avenge your lover, then you could have done it in any way, even if you wanted to kill Consort Liu, you could have done it in a better way. How will you explain having her locked in a barrel for an entire night and if you can explain that, how will you explain the twisted feet of consort Su? And in case you can explain everything,” she paused as she turned to look at Ji Meng and started putting more force on his shoulder as she added, ” How will you explain what you did to the little maid?”

” She might have caught you in the act but you could have simply sent her away or given her enough money to get out of this place. But you chose the most drastic step, that is to kill her…how will you explain that?”

Liu Hui Ying’s questioning caused the sympathy that might have rose in the hearts of others to shatter in an instant. That was right, even if Liu Fei Fei killed a maid, she was her master and that maid was her servant, if she wanted to kill her then she could have done that——and even if Ji Meng wanted to avenge his lover’s death then many ways did not involve the killing of three women.

Ji Meng stared at Liu Hui Ying, he did not refute nor did he say anything else, he simply gazed into her eyes that were looking at him as if she was looking at a scum.

Liu Hui Ying curled the sides of her mouth and lowered her voice as she spat, ” You enjoyed the thrill you got while killing those three women did you not? All these years you were shadowed by your brothers who were the sons of the official wives and you wanted to do something that would make you get noticed. This is the true reason why you killed the three of them, you could not get that anger,” she raised her hand and that with her forefinger poked at Ji Meng’s chest.

” This is why you took your anger out on those three women, they were weaker than you… and you had a justified excuse in that sick head of yours.” She trailed her finger up and poked at Ji Meng’s forehead and then continued speaking, ” You did not want to avenge someone’s death, you simply wanted to make use of it as an excuse to get the thrill, to get yourself noticed …and to get yourself become that big bad man who scared the living daylights out of others when you pretended to be a little lamb in front of your brothers. Isn’t this the real reason, Lord Ji?”

” Because no matter how you try to glorify yourself, killing someone who was weaker than you is not something to be proud of yourself.”
