Seeing Murong Yan and Ye Wanqing rushing over, Jiang Yu was stunned.
"Brother Yan, you came at the right time, Ah...Brother Xu?"
He looked at Ye Wanqing who was standing behind Murong Yan, then turned to look at Fu Yi whose arm he was holding, and stood there in a daze.
"Two...Ao-nii?"
Murong Yan and Ye Wanqing were also stunned. Fu Yi looked 80% similar to Chen Xu, with almost identical eyebrows, eyes, and facial features.
If we have to say the difference, Fu Yi's phoenix eyes are sharper and look more mature and steady, while Shen Xu's are softer and look tender and beautiful.
But the body shape is the most obvious thing. Fu Yi is seven and a half feet tall, and Shen Xu is less than six feet tall. Didn't Jiang Yu recognize them?
Fu Yi smiled and said, "I forgot to explain to you clearly, she is actually Ah Xu, my sister."
"Ah?" Lin Fuxue exclaimed in surprise, "Then who are you?"
"I am the big devil brother with a dark face, horns on his head, a mouth full of fangs, and eyes that can spit fire." Fu Yi had a gentle smile on his face.
After spending some time together, he found that his brothers and sisters were very warm and had very pure minds. They did not have the sinister calculations that young masters and young ladies had, and they were not wary of him at all.
"Ah, Brother Yan, save me!" Jiang Yu was so scared that he quickly let go of Fu Yi's arm and hid behind Murong Yan.
Ye Wanqing stepped forward and took Fu Yi's arm affectionately. She briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to everyone. Fortunately, the young people accepted it quickly and did not ask her why she dressed as a man. They had already accepted the fact that Shen Xu was a woman.
Jiang Yu blushed suddenly. In the past, Shen Xu liked to stroke his muscles the most, but he didn't care much because they were all men.
Now his brother A Xu suddenly became sister A Xu, so wouldn't his body be seen and touched by her?
It's over. We won't be able to study mechanical power together properly from now on.
Lin Fuxue covered her mouth with a cry of "Ah!" and said, "Why didn't you tell us? We mistook him for Ah Xu's younger brother and told him so many secrets."
Ye Wanqing explained on Fu Yi's behalf: "I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you for so long. But don't be afraid, it was all a misunderstanding before. My eldest brother is a very good person. I see that you two are getting along very happily."
"It's all because of Xu'er. He spread my bad reputation far and wide, scaring my brothers and sisters."
Fu Yi caressed Ye Wanqing's hair lovingly and said gently, "We were just discussing where to go for fun tomorrow. It's rare for the two young ladies to come all the way from the northwest, so I want to take them to some more unique places."
He turned to Lin Fuxue and Xie Ning'er and said, "You two ladies, please stay at the Marquis' Mansion for the time being. I have already sent someone to the Shunning Escort Agency to inform you. You can rest assured and stay for a few more days."
"Thank you very much, er, sir."
Several people returned to the Marquis' Mansion first. Fu Yi asked Butler Shen to go downstairs to prepare a dinner to entertain the guests who came from afar.
…
On the other side, Ye Fan quickly returned to the mansion, instructed the servants to take care of Ye Qingshan's funeral, and then went to see Jiang Yulou that night.
"Uncle Jiang, I killed the Dali Temple Minister."
Jiang Yulou was slightly shocked, "What? Why did you go to find him?"
Ye Fan's face was tense as he told Jiang Yulou the cause of the dispute with Liu Zhang in the alley.
"Then have you been seen by anyone?"
"I'm wearing a bamboo hat, so there shouldn't be anyone here..." Ye Fan frowned slightly, thinking of the girl who came out of the Marquis' Mansion. She softly called him Brother Ye Fan and told him to run away quickly.
He seemed to have never seen this girl in the capital, so how did she recognize him?
Jiang Yulou scolded anxiously, "The Liu family must not know about this. You are too impulsive. Even if you want to avenge your father, you shouldn't have stabbed Liu Zhang to death."
“But my father died in his Dali Temple, so he can’t escape responsibility.
Moreover, he and the Crown Prince came to my house looking for me this morning, and later rode in the same carriage with the Crown Prince to the Marquis's residence. He might be in cahoots with the Crown Prince!"
Jiang Yulou frowned, paced back and forth, thinking for a long time, and suddenly realized, "No wonder! No wonder Master Shen didn't die like that!
Fan'er, you are right. He asked you to go to the alley to surround Master Shen, and then experts surrounded you!
He asked us to transfer Prince Shen by water, and then the Maritime Customs patrol team came. He must be up to something!"
After hearing what Jiang Yulou said, Ye Fan quickly said, "Then this Third Prince is not trustworthy at all. I have to go and tell Sister Xu about this."
"Don't worry, let me think about it for a while... He handed Minister Liu over to the Three Courts for trial. Maybe he and the Third Prince are not in the same group. I need to go see the Third Prince first and find out what's going on.
Don't go home for the next few days. Stay in this villa for now and don't run around."
Ye Fan nodded, his face looking very ugly. His sister died, and his father Ye Qingshan became his only relative, but he was poisoned to death in the Dali Temple.
He was very confused after losing his loved ones all of a sudden, and he didn't even know who to seek revenge on.
…
The other side
Xu Wanrong was sipping tea elegantly and leisurely when Mu Rongyao walked in. He seemed a little annoyed after losing Ye Qingshan and Liu Shangshu in a row.
He got straight to the point and asked, "Did you poison Ye Qingshan to death?"
Xu Wanrong glanced up at him, calmly took a sip of tea, and replied leisurely, "So what?"
Murong Yao said anxiously, "Why did you poison him? He's a top-notch expert. Uncle Ling is about to leave for the northwest for negotiations. Where can I find another expert now?"
Xu Wanrong's face remained calm, and she said in a cold tone, "I advised him to admit all the guilt in the two cases. Liu Zhang will do his best to help his family get rid of the charge of murdering the prince.
But that idiot thought we wanted to distance ourselves from him, and insisted on demanding to meet His Majesty and explain the case to him in person, obviously intending to betray us.
There was no way I could let him see His Majesty, so I dealt with him."
She sneered and said, "If Liu Zhang hadn't cleaned up the mess, with Murong Yan's personality, he would never have let it go."
Xu Wanrong stood up, took a cup of tea and walked behind Murong Yao, saying in a cold voice: "Third Prince, there are many people with great martial arts skills in this world, but stupid teammates will bring you to ruin.
If I help you get rid of Ye Qingshan, Murong Yan will have no evidence to bring you down."
Murong Yao's tone was slightly unhappy, "Without Ye Qingshan, who will be responsible for going to the northwest to assassinate Uncle Ling?"
"Doesn't Your Highness have the Beihai people and Haoyue people as his internal support?"
"You even know all this? But they definitely aren't my people. What if something goes wrong?"
"If anything goes wrong, it won't be traced back to you. But speaking of the northwest..."
Xu Wanrong raised her wrist and turned the jade cup, her gentle almond eyes looking at the tea foam in the cup, her bright red lips raised with a meaningful smile,
"According to the date, Princess Lin will be coming to the capital soon.
This person is a treasure. If you capture her, you will capture the entire northwest military. Your Highness must seize this opportunity."
