"Oh, I see. No wonder I've never heard anyone mention her before." Yun Qingran nodded, then her gaze sharpened, glaring at Jun Molin with the fierce look of a grandmother. "How do you know about Qin Wan, and how do you know so much about her?"

Her fierce jealousy was so adorable! Jun Molin's heart almost melted when he saw her like that.

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll strangle you." Yun Qingran lightly pinched Jun Molin's neck with both hands, revealing a cute but fierce expression.

"Ranran, you're so cute." Jun Molin pulled her into his arms and then explained to her, "I know all the officials of the sixth rank and above in the entire Beiyin, and I know all the families of the officials of the fourth rank and above. Do you think I got to where I am today just because of my status as a prince?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingran instantly dispelled her doubts. The hand that was gripping Jun Molin's neck changed to hooking around his neck, and then she stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek, "My dear husband, you've worked so hard!"

The tigress instantly transforms into a kitten!

The beauty offered a sweet kiss, and Jun Molin's sexy Adam's apple bobbed. He tightened his grip on Yun Qingran, and his eyes filled with desire.

"Big brother, we're in Liu Jieshu's room now, don't be impulsive." Yun Qingran felt a change in Jun Molin's body and got goosebumps all over.

This is someone else's room!

"So what? All land under heaven belongs to the king. This piece of land belongs to our Jun family." Jun Molin raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin.

"It just won't work." Yun Qingran pushed him away.

"Oh." Jun Molin pouted reluctantly.

"It's shameful to act cute, Jun Molin." Yun Qingran noticed that Jun Molin had been acting cute more and more lately.

"Just tell me if you like it or not?" Jun Molin asked her with a teasing smile.

"Hahaha, I like it." Who can resist a handsome guy who can act cute?

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's keep looking for clues." Yun Qingran rubbed her stiff smile.

“Okay.” Jun Molin’s expression also became serious. His brother-in-law and father-in-law were still in jail. He would rescue them first, and then deal with this little vixen properly.

After searching for a while, Jun Molin found a piece of paper in the brazier, burned to a tiny bit. It read: "I hope that for the rest of your life, you will remember even a little of my words. Qiu Ju's last words."

"Qiuju and Liu Jieshu did indeed have dealings, and judging from the meaning between the lines, Qiuju really did go so far as to self-harm and die for Liu Jieshu in order to frame my elder brother," Yun Qingran said, looking at the words on the letter.

"It's pretty close." Jun Molin nodded.

"Wang Baochuan woke up to find herself in second place. I'm speechless. How can someone be so obsessed with love?" Yun Qingran's face was full of admiration.

To help her lover frame someone, she didn't hesitate to torture herself to death, and in such a humiliating way.

"As you said, courtesans are of lowly status and desperately need love, making them most susceptible to these romantic entanglements." Jun Molin sighed, wondering how someone could be so foolish.

"Based on these clues and evidence, things make sense. Although Liu Jieshu lacks ambition, his possession of Qin Wan's jade pendant shows that he likes her, and Qin Wan's mother, Yun Lian, has a grudge against our Yun family. This case was probably orchestrated by Yun Lian through Liu Jieshu, who then used Qiu Ju to frame my elder brother." Yun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was finally cleared up.

"Yes, I'll have Pei Chen lead troops in to search the Liu family's residence right now, and openly find the remaining pieces of paper as evidence." Jun Molin sent Pei Chen to guard outside the Liu residence with troops, ready to enter immediately once evidence was found.

"Alright, you go ahead. I'll stay here and watch over this piece of paper." Yun Qingran was worried. What if the two of them went out together and a maid suddenly came in and took the ashes from the brazier to throw them away?

Murphy's Law applies: what you fear most is what happens. She'd better stay here and keep an eye on things.

"Then be careful." Jun Molin knew that this matter concerned Yun Qingbi's life, and she was very cautious, so he did not force her to go out with him.

"OK, don't worry." Yun Qingran nodded.

After Jun Molin left, he soon heard a commotion outside. He went to the window and looked out. There were soldiers with torches everywhere, and the leader was Pei Chen.

"Lord Pei, what brings you here so late at night?" Lord Liu ran out, his clothes still on, and asked Pei Chen angrily.

"I am here on the orders of my lord to search Young Master Liu's room. I hope you will forgive me, sir." Pei Chen bowed slightly and apologized to Lord Liu.

"Search the book's room? Why?" Lord Liu asked, puzzled.

"His Highness the Prince of Beihan has been ordered to investigate the cause of death of Miss Qiuju from Baihua Pavilion. Based on the clues, our Prince suspects that Miss Qiuju's death is related to Young Master Liu," Pei Chen explained.

Although Lord Liu does not currently hold military power, he has led troops in battles before, so we cannot be too forceful, otherwise we will alienate the military officers.

"Impossible. Although Shu'er isn't very ambitious, he's always been a well-behaved child and never goes to brothels. This case of the courtesan's death has absolutely nothing to do with him," Lord Liu angrily denied.

“Lord Liu, it’s not that we want to frame Young Master Liu, but the clues point to him.” Pei Chen turned to the soldiers behind him and ordered loudly, “Search him.”

"Yes." The soldiers behind him began to run in unison, their armor scraping against each other with a metallic sound that sounded particularly majestic in the midnight air.

"Pei Chen, how dare you!" Lord Liu glared angrily at the soldiers. He was a general, and yet they dared to break into his home.

“Lord Liu, we are doing this for your son’s own good. As long as nothing suspicious is found, his suspicion will be cleared,” Pei Chen said in a gentle tone.

“My son is definitely innocent. Tomorrow morning I will go to the court to impeach you.” Lord Liu glared angrily at Pei Chen.

Why don't you impeach our Prince? He's just picking on the weak. Pei Chen rolled his eyes at him in his heart.

"Lord Pei, we found a tattered piece of paper in the brazier." A soldier ran over, carrying the piece of paper that had been burned down to a tiny bit.

Pei Chen took it and saw that it read: "I hope that for the rest of your life, you will remember some of my words, Qiu Ju's last words."

Lord Liu also came over to look, and upon seeing the contents of the letter, he almost fainted. Shu'er really was involved with this courtesan. And judging from the letter's words, the courtesan's death was indeed related to him.

"Where is Liu Jieshu?" Pei Chen asked the soldier.

“He was asleep on the table when we went in, but he’s awake now and we’ve got him under control,” the soldier replied.

"Take Liu Jieshu back from the campaign," Pei Chen said with a wave of his hand.
