Chapter 372 Nuan'er's Turmoil
This statement, though seemingly without a clear target, is entirely directed at something.
For a moment, everyone looked at Yu Zhiyi with doubt.
Although Chen Xinyue just described that it was the Marquis of Wu'an's heir who stood at the door of the woodshed, and it was the Marquis of Wu'an's heir who stopped people from checking the woodshed.
But she also said that the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an was Miss Jiang's bodyguard.
Not many people went to the forest near Juxianzhuang that day, and not many people knew that the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an was not an ordinary guard.
Most people only know that he is a guard, and assume that he is just like those low-ranking guards who are paid to do things and have to do whatever the master tells them to do.
Perhaps, this person even sold himself to Miss Jiang.
Such guards would have absolutely no human rights whatsoever.
Even if his master ordered him to assassinate the emperor, he would have to do it.
Therefore, the fact that the guard is suspected of murder is equivalent to the fact that Miss Jiang is suspected of murder.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Jiang Liuyi stepped forward: "My sister couldn't possibly have killed someone!"
He looked coldly at Chen Xinyue, his eyes full of warning: "You didn't see them make a move, which means there's more to this than meets the eye."
Chen Xinyue shrank back, her eyes reddening as she lowered her head, looking terrified.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore: "Young Master Jiang, even if you are the second young master of the Martial Arts Alliance, you can't protect a perverted serial killer, can you?"
"Exactly! No matter what grudge she had against that person, we wouldn't say anything if it was a fair fight to the death. But she actually used her status to have her subordinates torture and kill her; she's worse than an animal!"
"Young Master Jiang, don't think you can get away with this by threatening Miss Chen to lie. So many of us are watching. You can force Miss Chen to shut up, but do you think you can force all of us to shut up?"
Chen Xinyue's red lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with a triumphant smile.
Unfortunately, no one would bend down and look into her eyes.
Du Ziheng disapproved of Jiang Liuyi's behavior, feeling that the man was utterly useless and unable to find the key to solving problems.
He stepped forward slowly, his gentle voice steady and confident: "This person could not have been killed by Miss Jiang the Second."
Jiang Liuyi frowned, but since the other party was speaking up for his sister, he didn't say anything.
You Bingyue secretly almost dug her palms raw.
Why is this guy so eager to jump out and speak up for that woman?
She was clearly a witness to this incident, and her existence suggested that the woman might be the murderer.
He didn't even ask her anything before concluding that the woman hadn't killed anyone?
The angrier she was inside, the calmer she appeared on the surface.
However, his eyes were extremely cold.
She was utterly disappointed in this man.
She didn't care about the male lead anymore.
After that incident, she went on to support a new male lead.
She even had a target in mind.
Du Ziheng had no idea what You Bingyue was thinking. He looked at everyone calmly, and his unique aura as a young nobleman made people unconsciously quiet down.
"She is of noble status and has no reason to target a maid."
You Bingyue was about to say something.
Yu Zhiyi burst out laughing.
Everyone looked over, and Du Ziheng was also somewhat bewildered: "Yi'er, what are you laughing at?"
Yu Zhiyi coughed lightly: "It's nothing, I just remembered something funny."
Since he could see that this was a trap set for her, he should have realized that the victim must be related to her.
She must even have a grudge against the other party.
But this person immediately said she had no motive, which, in Hongluan's words, was quite naive.
Without giving Chen Xinyue and the others a chance to speak, she directly revealed: "As for the motive, I do have one. Although for me, this kind of thing is not worth killing, the murderer obviously does not think so. She thinks that this so-called motive is enough to make everyone believe that the murderer is me, or someone close to me."
Chen Xinyue's expression changed slightly.
Why doesn't this woman play by the rules?
Yu Zhiyi ignored her astonishment and said calmly, "The deceased was named Nuan'er. When I first came to the Martial Alliance, she was assigned to serve me."
“This girl is ambitious and only wants to serve the most powerful master so that she can rise above others in the future. So when she found out that I would leave the Martial Alliance after the Earth Ranking Tournament, she was very angry. She felt that I was not ambitious and that I would give up such a good backer as the Martial Alliance and instead go back to my adoptive father, whose status I don’t know, to live a life of inferiority.”
"She didn't want to serve a good-for-nothing master, so she went to Miss Chen's place."
Yu Zhiyi's gaze was distant, giving Chen Xinyue no chance to speak: "She said that there is a better future for her by Miss Chen's side."
"The next day, whether intentionally or accidentally, Miss Chen brought the girl directly in front of me and promised us that she would definitely make good use of this girl."
"As a result, Miss Chen was confined to her home that very day for spreading rumors. Nuan'er also inadvertently learned that my destination after leaving the Martial Alliance was no worse than that of the Martial Alliance, and wanted to come back to me, but I refused."
She looked at Chen Xinyue with a calm expression: "I had the housekeeper take her back to Miss Chen's side and asked the housekeeper to pass on a message to Miss Chen - I don't accept garbage here."
"Then she died a few days later."
She recounted the whole story frankly, giving Chen Xinyue no chance to embellish it.
Chen Xinyue forgot to speak for a moment.
These things should have come from her.
Although the account of events from her perspective is largely accurate, her subtle embellishments make the implications more explicit.
Now that Yu Zhiyi has said it so bluntly, it would be impolite for her to continue making accusations.
She was in a state of utter confusion and couldn't find a way out of the predicament.
You bastard, why are you so fast at reacting?
Why isn't she as insecure and afraid to speak as other children raised by other families? Why does she have to jump out and try to get attention?
Yu Bingyue looked at Chen Xinyue, whose face was pale, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.
As expected of a pampered young lady, she has no ability to withstand risks and can't even handle such a small matter.
She composed herself and said seriously, "These are just Miss Jiang's side of the story. You're a professional; you should know that solving a case requires evidence, not just one-sided statements, right?"
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.
Is this a plan to break her down where she's most confident?
Strangely, she wasn't angry; instead, she wanted to laugh.
She actually laughed: "That's right, we really can't rely on just one side of the story."
"So, Miss You has evidence to prove that I am the murderer?"
You Bingyue is tall and has a striking and beautiful face.
She glanced at Yu Zhiyi sideways, her expression undisguisedly disdainful: "Whether there's evidence or not, we'll find out by looking."
