"Just because I was the only one on the bridge doesn't mean I was the one who pushed your maid into the water."

Song Qingxue looked at Xiahou Chongyuan and continued, "I came here to chase the assassin. When I arrived, the maid had already been pushed down, and I was the one who fished out her body. If I really wanted to kill her, why would I have done this!"

"assassin?"

"Yes, assassin." Song Qingxue took out the dart that had just flown into the house and said, "I didn't know what the assassin meant at first, but after I found out that the maid was dead, I knew it."

It makes no sense for an assassin not to kill someone when he breaks into a house. It's obvious that he's just trying to lure someone into a trap!

"Song Qingxue! Stop talking nonsense here!" Mo Weixin lost her temper when she heard this and shouted, "It's obviously you who harmed Shuangshuang with your evil heart, but you still want to frame this princess!"

Song Qingxue was not annoyed, and said slowly, "I haven't said anything yet, Princess, why are you so angry?"

"What are you talking about? You killed someone and you want to shirk responsibility. I just want justice for my maid!"

"Seeking justice, that's a good idea." Song Qingxue said, "But why should I kill your maid?"

"How can I know what you, a vicious woman, are thinking? You were the only one here when I came here, and you still want to quibble!!"

Song Qingxue didn't want to talk to her any more, so she just threw the question back to Xiahou Chongyuan.

She asked him, "Do you believe what I said?"

Xiahou Chongyuan did not give a definite answer, but only said: "Lin Xian, investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Chongyuan!" Mo Weixin suddenly panicked, "You don't believe me? I grew up with you, don't you know what kind of person I am? How dare you not believe me?"

After being yelled at by her, Xiahou Chongyuan did not say anything. Instead, Song Qingxue sneered and said, "Look, isn't this a guilty conscience? Have you ever seen an official who handles a case without investigating it and only listens to one side's story? He just said, investigate thoroughly!"

Song Qingxue deliberately emphasized the word "thorough investigation", which made Mo Weixin feel very nervous.

She couldn't argue with Song Qingxue, so she could only continue crying to Xiahou Chongyuan.

She cried and said, "Chongyuan, you actually don't believe me. I never thought you would doubt me because you favor an outsider! Shuangshuang is the maid who grew up with me. Why would I kill her? It was this woman who harmed people and framed me!"

Xiahou Chongyuan had trusted her since childhood, and this was the first time that something happened and Xiahou Chongyuan did not stand on her side.

The privileges that I have had since childhood are suddenly gone, and the psychological gap cannot be small.

But this also shows that Song Qingxue must be eliminated!

Xiahou Chongyuan felt a headache when he heard her crying, but there must be something fishy about this matter, and it also involved Song Qingxue. He could not turn a blind eye and favor Mo Weixin like he did before.

Mo Weixin's crying made him more and more upset, so he said in a cold voice: "Qingqing, accompany the princess back to the wing to rest."

Qingqing was also a maid brought by Mo Weixin. She only brought two maids with her to the palace. Now that Shuangshuang is dead, Qingqing is the only one left by her side.

Xiahou Chongyuan had given the order, so Qingqing naturally didn't dare to disobey. She could only support Mo Weixin and tremblingly advised: "Princess, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first!"

Mo Weixin felt upset, but she also understood that Xiahou Chongyuan was not in a good mood. If she continued talking, it would only backfire.

Although I was unwilling, I had no choice but to go back obediently.

Song Qingxue was brought back to the yard by Xiahou Chongyuan, who ordered Liu Huan to bathe and change her clothes.

Xiahou Chongyuan did not say anything extra.

His mind is a little confused now.

In his impression, Mo Weixin would not lie to him, but Song Qingxue's heart would not lie either. What's more, Song Qingxue was not the kind of person who would take human life lightly.

After all, she even saved the maid in Su Ruqian's yard.

With such a person, even if the maid really bumped into her, she would definitely not take the maid's life.

Moreover, what Song Qingxue and Mo Weixin said were very different.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Xiahou Chongyuan did not sleep all night. He was waiting for Lin Xian to find a coroner to perform an autopsy.

Half an hour later, Lin Xian brought the coroner to the study.

Seeing the coroner about to salute, he stopped him and said, "No need to salute, tell me the autopsy results first."

"Yes." The coroner stood up straight and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Shuangshuang's cause of death was not drowning, but there were no obvious scars on her body. The cause of death should be suffocation."

"Died from suffocation?" Xiahou Chongyuan pointed his finger at the table and asked, "Suffocated to death?"

"yes."

Xiahou Chongyuan nodded and waved his hand for him to leave.

The coroner's autopsy results proved that Song Qingxue did not lie about Shuangshuang's death.

But why did Mo Weixin say that she saw with her own eyes Song Qingxue and Shuangshuang arguing on the bridge?

Besides, it’s so late now. Given Song Qingxue’s personality, she shouldn’t wander around outside in the middle of the night.

Could it be that Mo Weixin is lying?

It is still difficult to determine now, and he cannot make any random guesses. He can only wait for the results of Lin Xian's investigation.

Just when he was unable to make up his mind for a long time in the study, Song Qingxue pushed open the study door.

Seeing her coming, Xiahou Chongyuan was a little confused for a moment.

"Why don't you take a good rest?"

"I can't sleep." Song Qingxue walked in and said, "I really saw the assassin tonight."

"Um"

"What?" Song Qingxue was puzzled. "What does um mean? Do you believe it or not?"

"letter."

"So do you believe me or Mo Weixin?" After hearing his answer, Song Qingxue asked this question for some unknown reason.

Xiahou Chongyuan remained silent.

Song Qingxue suddenly felt that her question was very stupid.

Who to trust?

Everyone should believe the truth.

There is no fairness in believing one side when the truth has not yet come to light.

Besides, why did she think Xiahou Chongyuan would trust her more?

The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and she was now at most a partner of Xiahou Chongyuan.

Xiahou Chongyuan felt a little weird when he heard what she was thinking.

For some reason, he began to feel that the word "partner" was a bit harsh.

Is it possible that in Song Qingxue's eyes, he is just a partner?

But if not, what did he expect Song Qingxue to treat him like?

He was a little confused, frowning and trying to figure out why he had such thoughts.

Seeing him frowning and not saying anything for a long time, Song Qingxue's heart sank, but she still said what she wanted to say unwillingly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter who you believe, you have to believe the truth. I just hope that when the truth comes out, you won't be partial to anyone."

"Um."

This is what Xiahou Chongyuan responded, but she didn't know what he would do then.

He had covered up for Su Ruqian last time, and this time it was Mo Weixin, I'm afraid he would be even worse.

Song Qingxue thought about it and actually felt that she should start investigating it as well.

Otherwise, if Xiahou Chongyuan intends to protect Mo Weixin, wouldn't she be dead without a burial place?

No, no, she has to plan for herself.

"My Lord, I'm sleepy. I'll go back first."

After Song Qingxue finished speaking, she quickly ran out.

After Song Qingxue left, Xiahou Chongyuan was in a daze for a long time.

So this is how she thought of him?

If he wanted to protect...

But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable for her to think this way based on his previous actions.

Human hearts are biased, and when it comes to feelings of gratitude and loyalty, even he cannot guarantee that he will be absolutely fair and just.
