Ye Xueruo was not very satisfied that Shen Xu only took out five taels of silver this time. Master Shen was always generous and would always bring her a gift whenever he asked her to buy something.

But this time, he only managed to bring five taels of silver.

However, as a qualified businessman, serving customers well is the most basic quality. She exchanged a few words with Ye Wanqing with a smile on her face, which made Ye Wanqing stunned.

Ye Wanqing listened to her compliment awkwardly, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

Her half-sister actually has such talent. No wonder Shen Xu often says that Miss Ye Er is the most dignified, generous and tasteful girl in the whole capital.

He said such shameful and insincere words without blinking an eye.

With Miss Shen's low IQ, she would be completely disoriented after hearing this, and naturally would be willing to pay any amount of money.

"Your sister is dead. You are happy now, right?"

Ye Xueruo paused and looked at her suspiciously. After a while, she covered her mouth with her hands, as if she had suddenly realized something: "Did you kill that person?"

Seeing her reaction like this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but feel confused. If it wasn't Ye Xueruo who harmed her, could it be Er Niang?

"How could that be? I..." Ye Wanqing simply told her what A Rao was thinking, "I wanted to drag her into the alley and beat her up, but before I could do anything, she disappeared."

Ye Xueruo shyly tucked her hair away from her face, looking very artificial. She said delicately, "Oh, Brother Xu, although I'm usually harsh to me and have a bad temper, a little lesson is enough. How can I drag someone into the alley and beat him up?"

"Brother Xu, you are honest, kind, gentle, and wealthy. All the ladies in the capital are vying for your hand. Sister Lin really doesn't know how to appreciate your blessings. Is it true that there is no response to your gifts?"

From what she said, it seems that Miss Lin is a bit ungrateful.

Ye Wanqing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this and mumbled a few perfunctory words, "Then who do you think would kill your sister?"

"How would I know?"

Ye Xueruo suddenly stood up and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, my sister may look fierce on the outside, but she's actually very gentle on the inside. In my opinion, some young lady must be jealous of her and secretly plotted against her."

She suddenly took up her handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying aggrievedly, "Miss Xu from the Censorate and Miss Liu from the Prime Minister's House are usually very close to her. These two young ladies appear to be well-mannered, but they have been saying a lot of bad things about you behind your back."

"I think they must be jealous of my sister. Last time, I heard them laughing at my sister behind her back, saying that no one wanted her after she broke off the engagement. I was so angry that I went up to them to argue with them, but they ended up scolding me so nastily."

"Huh?" Ye Wanqing was also impressed by her ability to lie with open eyes, and exclaimed in disgust.

Ye Xueruo rolled her eyes and continued, "That Miss Liu is even more arrogant. She relied on her status as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion to rush over and hit me. She also threatened me that if I told my sister about this, she would have someone tie me up and throw me into the red-light district. Look at her arrogant attitude yesterday. Maybe she was the one who did it. She's crying thief!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing became furious.

You are such a two-faced person, Ye Xueruo. You were the one who was most enthusiastic in smearing the prince and Shen Xu, but you turned around and started to frame my best friend and even tried to throw the dirty water on Liu Qingqian.

No wonder Chen Xu sometimes finds fault with them for no apparent reason. It turns out you, a bastard, are the one stabbing them in the back!

"How can you slander others with empty words!" Ye Wanqing said angrily, her fists clenched tightly, but she still resisted the urge to stand up and slap her twice.

Liu Qingqian is her best friend, and they can talk about anything. Whenever she gets upset in the general's mansion or gets beaten by her father, she will go to her to complain, and sometimes she will even stay at her house.

She was kindhearted, straightforward, and simple-minded, and therefore often played tricks on her by Shen Xu. Yesterday, she even cried so hard for him that her eyes turned red, and she even threw gold at him in public without hesitation.

How could such a straightforward and upright girl hire someone to kill someone!

"Brother Xu, that bitch beat you up yesterday, why are you speaking up for her?" Ye Xueruo was slightly stunned, her eyes swept towards the rouge and powder on the table, she hesitated for a moment, and said innocently, "Although my sister was fierce and fierce, her death was too pitiful."

She turned her watery eyes to look at Ye Wanqing and lowered her voice, "When the body was brought back, it was covered in wounds and its face was completely destroyed. The coroner from the Dali Temple also said that she had been violated by many people during her lifetime. She must have been so ashamed that she banged her head against the wall."

"What!" Ye Wanqing gasped, her heart beating violently in shock. She had never expected that Shen Xu had suffered such inhuman torture before his death!

Ye Xueruo stroked her chin and continued, "If it wasn't someone with extremely vicious thoughts, how could he do such a cruel thing? I think those two young ladies are definitely suspects!"

Ye Wanqing's face turned pale and blue. Her two best friends were simple and straightforward, so there was absolutely no suspicion on their part.

She looked at Ye Xueruo and immediately became suspicious of her. Ye Xueruo was so heartless that she had to earn four taels of silver just to run errands and buy flowers and ornaments for others. In addition, Er Niang was biased and she always had the highest daily expenses. She should be very rich.

However, she was very short of money to eat, wear and spend in the general's mansion. She would take advantage of the noble ladies whenever she could, and often looked pitiful as if she was being mistreated, and she kept saying that concubines had a miserable life.

Ye Wanqing originally thought that Ye Xueruo did this just to portray herself as a pitiful little white flower, and at the same time slander herself for how she, as the legitimate daughter, treated her harshly and bullied her in the mansion, in order to win sympathy from others.
