Liu Zhang picked up the still warm teacup, took a sip of the tea, savored it carefully, and said, "Actually, I also captured another person."
Ye Wanqing raised her eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous. Murong Yan had just told her in the morning that the people sent to look for Ye Fan's whereabouts had no news.
But then he heard Liu Zhang staring at her and saying, "Young General Ye Fan from the General's Mansion."
"ah."
"The prince seems to care about this person very much, but you don't seem to have spoken to him before. When did you meet him? During the Spring Hunt this year? Or the Hundred Flowers Festival?"
Ye Wanqing said guiltily: "I don't know him."
"The prince used to bully his sister at the Imperial Archery Pavilion. Was he really trying to attract General Ye's attention?"
"Ah?" Ye Wanqing exclaimed in surprise. Could it be that Shen Xu had fallen in love with Brother Ye Fan? That couldn't be possible, right?
Although Brother Ye Fan is very outstanding, they have only met a few times. Could it be that Miss Shen was attracted by Brother Ye Fan's heroic appearance during the spring hunt?
Besides, she has such an outstanding Murong Yan by her side, how could it be possible...
But judging from Murong Yan's attitude, there was obviously no such friendship between them.
Could it be that Shen Xu really wanted to get close to Brother Ye Fan and was teasing her on purpose?
Liu Zhang continued, "But after Miss Ye died, the Crown Prince was desperate to investigate the cause of her death, and even asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help, which led to the Crown Prince being assassinated while he went to the outer city to investigate the case.
That time at the brothel, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also looking for the suspect, oh, that was Miss Xu from the Censorate, my childhood sweetheart, and he encountered the masked gunman again.
Why is the prince so persistent in finding out the truth for Miss Ye? I have thought about it for a long time and I think there is only one possibility -"
He lowered his voice and said, "You actually like General Ye Fan from the General's Mansion, right?"
Ye Wanqing was bewildered and angrily asked, "Master Liu, are you insulting this prince?"
Seeing her glaring, Liu Zhang said sincerely, "Prince Shen, to be honest, I like your personal maid, Miss Jiang Rao, and I want to marry her."
Although it was very impolite, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but say: "Master Liu, are you not crazy? You want to marry my A Rao instead of Miss Xu from the Imperial Censorate? Does your father agree?"
She suddenly remembered the conversation between them at the kidnapping scene that day.
They said they would torture A Rao, force her mouth open, and force her to reveal information about the southern border.
Ye Wanqing's expression suddenly changed, and her tone turned cold. "What do you want to do? It's not enough to destroy my A Rao's martial arts. Are you marrying her to take revenge on her, or to force her to tell you about the southern border?"
Liu Zhang's expression changed as well, and he quickly explained, "No, I really want to marry Miss Jiang Rao."
Ye Wanqing felt her scalp tingle. She said in a cold voice, "Master Liu, the man with the white mask with gold patterns who has always suggested killing me is you!"
A flash of panic flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, but he replied calmly: "That's right."
"You came to the Marquis' Mansion to threaten me!" Ye Wanqing angrily slammed the table and stood up. She endured the pain in her legs and said angrily, "You almost drowned me, and now you dare to come to the Marquis' Mansion so ostentatiously!"
Liu Zhang quickly stood up and explained, "No, I came here to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. I want to tell you the whole story.
Miss Jiang Rao has always wanted to protect you, but she is alone and weak. I like her, and I will protect you with her."
Ye Wanqing sneered and said, "Are you going to stab me if you protect me? Are you going to drown me if you protect me? Sir Liu, I can't bear your protection!"
"Prince Shen, please don't get excited first. Please calm down and listen to me. I'm sorry, that incident was really a misunderstanding. I have a way to save the people you want to save and the General's Mansion. Please sit down and listen to me first, okay?"
When Ye Wanqing heard him say that he wanted to save the General's Mansion, she immediately calmed down and softened her cold tone. She said, "What can you do? You'd better explain what's going on."
Liu Zhang asked her to sit down and told Ye Wanqing the whole story.
He said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I already know your secret, but I swear, I have never done anything frivolous to you.
I really like Miss Jiang Rao, and I was so jealous of you that I did this. I sincerely apologize to you, Miss Shen."
Ye Wanqing frowned and looked at him in surprise as he bowed sincerely, and suddenly became upset.
It turned out that Liu Zhang thought that she asked Murong Yan to investigate the cause of Miss Ye's death because she liked Ye Fan, and that was why he guessed that her vague confession in the kidnapping case was to protect Ye Fan.
As one of the masterminds of the kidnapping, Liu Zhang directly admitted his mistake and apologized. He also revealed the reason why he insisted on taking her life. It was because he was jealous and wanted to marry her maid!
Damn, why didn’t I realize it before? This guy surnamed Liu must have some serious illness.
Ye Wanqing said angrily, "Master Liu, you wanted to marry A Rao, but why did you go through so much trouble? You even ruined A Rao's martial arts. Is there something wrong with you?"
Liu Zhang lowered his head and replied, "Because Miss Jiang Rao was seriously injured at the time, she insisted on staying by your side to protect you. I was afraid that she would be in danger of getting hurt again if she went out, so I wanted her to rest for a while."
"Ah?" Ye Wanqing exclaimed softly. She had not expected Liu Zhang to have such intentions. Her tone softened a bit, but she still angrily asked, "Then do you know how sad A Rao was that her martial arts skills were abolished?"
