The Bai family all turned to look at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin chuckled and said, "Third Master Bai, do you think our Great Zhou soldiers will slack off?"

As she spoke, her expression changed, and she said seriously, "The soldiers of my Great Zhou can stand on the battlefield for hours on end. Without the order of their commander, they will never move. The soldiers of my Great Zhou are brave men who have been through thick and thin. Your Bai family also rose to prominence through military merit. If you younger generation do not know this, does Your Highness not know it either?"

This was the first time Gu Xin had been so serious since arriving at the Bai residence. The imposing aura emanating from her silenced the Bai family members.

The princess looked at Bai Sanye and said sternly, "Third son, you unfilial son, apologize now! How dare you make such a fuss about the soldiers in the army?"

Master Bai quickly stood up and apologized profusely.

Gu Xin looked at him without saying a word.

The princess sighed and said, "Please, Princess Xinxin, don't take offense at my son's behavior. He's been spoiled since he was little..."

Gu Xin interrupted coldly: "A child? Does the Princess Consort intend to tell me that my child has been unruly since childhood and speaks without thinking? If he is a child, then what is the son of Young Master Bai?"

Bai Shijun, the eldest son of the second branch of the family and the second young master of the Bai family, stood up, walked to the side of the third master of the Bai family, and bowed to Gu Xin: "Your Highness, I hope Your Highness will investigate the third uncle's mistake later. Please tell us if there is any discovery regarding the death of my elder brother that requires our assistance?"

Gu Xin looked at Bai Shijun, who lived up to his name, a handsome and elegant young man.

Bai Shijun looked directly at Gu Xin with an open and honest gaze.

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and said, "All of you, show your arms."

The Bai family was taken aback.

Master Bai couldn't help but speak up again: "Why are you showing your arms? Princess, you must tell us why you want us to do something. Otherwise, you think you can just make us take off our clothes?"

Gu Xin was amused by this Third Master Bai. This second son of the Bai family was pretending to be the third son; he must be addicted to it.

She suspected that Bai Sanye's bad reputation might be partly due to the fact that he was the second son of the Bai family.

After all, if the second son of the Bai family can act like the third master at home, he can definitely do it outside too.

He seems to be quite cunning, while the real Third Master of the Bai family seems like a naive and innocent fool, not as shrewd as this second brother.

Before Gu Xin could speak, the princess interrupted, "Third brother, shut up!"

Master Bai pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Master Bai glanced at him with some resentment, then lowered his head to hide his expression.

Gu Xin said, "I just found something by the window in the inner room of Young Master Bai's study. The murderer's hand may be injured. So, to prove your innocence, everyone, show your arms!"

Master Bai was the first to roll up his sleeves, and everyone else followed suit.

Gu Xin frowned more and more as she looked. There was nothing there. Could it be a servant from the Prince's mansion?

Even the princess did as instructed, and everyone's arms were very clean.

Zheng Qiu, standing next to Gu Xin, was also puzzled.

A short while later, Bai Er, who had gone to check on the servants in all the courtyards of the Bai family, returned. He said there was nothing unusual. Some people had injuries, but they were just scars, and they could explain the cause and time of the injuries, as well as having witnesses.

Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu exchanged a glance. Something's not right!

Everyone in the Prince's mansion has looked, yet there's nothing there?

Could it be that they are not from the Prince's residence, but someone who came in from outside?
