Even after Xiahou Chongyuan rejected what the man surnamed Bai said, the matter was not over yet.

Marquis Anding was determined to get a status for his daughter, so in the past two days, many of Marquis Anding's people came to the Regent's Palace one after another.

The more Xiahou Chongyuan listened, the more ridiculous it seemed to him, and he ended up not going to the Marquis' Mansion, which he had originally planned to visit.

Asking him for the title of princess sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just forcing him to marry a dead person?

I don’t know if Marquis Anding has enough bargaining chips in his hand, or if he was so anxious because of Mo Weixin’s intention.

Song Qingxue waited in the mansion for several days, but Xiahou Chongyuan never showed up, so she couldn't help but suspect him.

"Could it be that he came here that day just to deceive me?" She looked at Zhu Pin'er, thinking about this question to herself.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that Xiahou Chongyuan would be such a person.

"Pin'er, do you think he would really do that?"

She couldn't figure it out by herself, so she threw the question to Zhu Pin'er and asked her to think about it with her.

"The prince is not such a person." Pin'er said with certainty.

Song Qingxue was a little surprised, "Why?"

"Because the prince is a good man."

"Good guy? Him?" Song Qingxue raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Zhu Pin'er did not answer, but tilted her head to look at her and asked in return: "Miss, do you think the prince is not?"

Song Qingxue thought about it, sighed lightly, and said, "I don't know."

Her first impression of Xiahou Chongyuan was that of a villain, but after spending more time with him, her opinion did change.

She felt that if he became emperor, he would be a wise ruler. Beyond that, she did not dare to make any rash judgments.

Because she is different from Zhu Pin'er.

She knew very well in her heart that the reason why Zhu Pin'er thought he was good was because she had a hero filter for him. Because he saved the people of Xunnan, he was a good person.

Not only Pin'er, if you ask any Xunnan citizen whether the Regent is a good person, they will say yes.

Because Xiahou Chongyuan is their hero!

But Xiahou Chongyuan is not Song Qingxue's hero. The two of them are in a cooperative relationship. She recognizes his ability to govern the country, and she can objectively say that he is born to be a king.

But as the primary suspect in the murder of Mo Weixin, she could not be so objective.

She knew clearly that she did not kill Mo Weixin, but what everyone saw was completely different from the truth.

Xiahou Chongyuan saw with his own eyes that she stabbed Mo Weixin to death with a dagger, but he did not believe her at that time.

She couldn't guarantee how true the suspicions Xiahou Chongyuan expressed that day at the general's mansion were. He said he would come to discuss it again, but she waited for several days and he didn't come.

"Maybe, it's really as my brother said." She didn't say whether Xiahou Chongyuan was good or bad, but after weighing the pros and cons, she chose to believe Song Qingfeng.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Pin'er just looked at her quietly and said nothing more.

Although she had misunderstood Song Qingxue's feelings before, after so much time, she had seen it clearly.

The one Song Qingxue likes is the prince.

She knew that the main reason why Song Qingxue said these words now was that she was too disappointed with the prince.

People always have extremely high expectations for the ones they love. She knew very well that although Song Qingxue didn't say anything in this matter, she was hoping in her heart that the prince would trust her more than her own eyes.

However, most of these things are just delusions.

If anyone saw such a scene with their own eyes, it would be difficult for them to ignore what they saw and believe the empty excuses of a "murderer."

This is human nature, and she shouldn't have any grudges or prejudices against the prince because of this, but she likes the prince, so she can't help but have extraordinary expectations of him.

Liking someone doesn't make sense.

Because she likes him, she naturally deifies him and always feels that he must be different from others.

But no matter how powerful the prince is, he is just a human being, not a god who can see the truth through the surface at a glance.

It would be great if the prince could trust her a little more.

…

Mo Weixin's funeral was scheduled for the seventh day after her death.

On this day, the palace finally stopped the people from the Marquis' Mansion from bothering Xiahou Chongyuan again, but he had to take the initiative to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see Mo Weixin off for the last time.

There was constant crying and shouting in the mourning hall, and the Marquis's wife cried the most sadly.

Xiahou Chongyuan entered the mourning hall with an expressionless face. The Marquis' wife immediately rushed towards him, crying and wailing, "Your Majesty! Xin'er died so tragically! You must seek justice for her, Your Majesty!"

As soon as she said this, Mo Weixin's sisters in the mansion cried even louder, and each of them called her "Sister".

Xiahou Chongyuan frowned anxiously, then said calmly, "Madam, please accept my condolences. When there is solid evidence, I will give you justice."

"Is there irrefutable evidence?" The Marquis's wife stared at him with eyes swollen from crying, her tone a little broken: "What irrefutable evidence do you need? So many eyes saw that it was Song Qingxue who killed Xin'er, how can there be irrefutable evidence?!"

As she spoke, she pulled Xiahou Chongyuan's clothes with both hands, "Your Majesty! Tell me, what does it take to be conclusive evidence? Ah? Who killed Xin'er? Didn't Your Majesty see it with your own eyes?"

"presumptuous!"

Seeing her speaking to Xiahou Chongyuan so rudely, the guards behind him shouted, quickly pulled her away, and then blocked her with a knife.

"Xiahou Chongyuan! Xin'er has grown up with you since she was a child. Do you really have no feelings for her at all?"

"My Xin'er has waited for you and has not married yet, but you saw her being murdered with your own eyes and did nothing! Xiahou Chongyuan! She is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. Doesn't my Xin'er mean she is not the apple of the Marquis' eye?"

"If you don't give me an explanation, my mansion will never let you go!"

Seeing that every word she said was a threat, the two guards who stopped her drew their swords on the spot and shouted fiercely, "Don't be rude to the prince!"

"Disrespectful?" The Marquis' wife's eyes were red, and she pushed the two guards like a madman.

"I was rude today, so what? What's wrong with me seeking justice for my daughter? Aren't the ones who are wrong the one who killed my daughter and the one who protected the murderer?"

She pointed at Xiahou Chongyuan and yelled, "Xiahou Chongyuan! You are protecting that bitch from the Song family. How is this any different from killing Xin'er with your own hands?"

The person who suffered the most from Mo Weixin's death was the Marquis' wife.

Although Marquis Anding has several children, only Mo Weixin is her biological child. As a daughter, it is not easy for Mo Weixin to be so favored in this Marquis's mansion.

The Marquis's wife was crying so desperately at this time. Besides being truly sad about her daughter's death, she was more afraid that her position in the Marquis's Mansion would be lost.

Although she was the wife of Marquis Anding, she was not the most favored one in the backyard of the marquis's mansion.

The Marquis's favor and respect for her were mostly due to Mo Weixin. And over the years, she had devoted almost all her energy to cultivating Mo Weixin.

Mo Weixin was well trained by her. She was sensible, knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was smart. Compared with many noble sons in Beijing, she was no less outstanding.

Even the late emperor praised her, saying that if she were a man, she would definitely achieve great things in the court.

Her brilliance was something that even Xiahou Chongyuan recognized and respected. But now, she was gone, and soon, she would be buried underground.

Buried with Mo Weixin's body were perhaps all of the Marquis's confidence and Marquis Anding's love for her.

She is not willing to give in!
