Chapter 138 How can I not?
The woman's voice was clear and crisp, and she spoke so clearly and clearly that Chu Xiu unconsciously turned his head. He smiled and said, "Isn't this Miss Pei San? What brings you here?"
He looked at the maid behind Pei Ruxin again. The maid was not very old and obviously still looked like a child. It was uncommon for a noble lady in the capital to go out like this. So he said, "This area is full of mixed people. The young lady left the house with only a little maid. I wonder if your father knew about this?"
"There's no need for you to worry about my family, and you don't have to pretend to be ignorant." Pei Ruxin reached out to pull Pei Song.
Chu Xiu's two subordinates were originally holding the man with great strength, determined not to let go. However, after hearing what the commander said, they realized that the girl was of no ordinary background, and they immediately became troubled. They looked at Chu Xiu for help.
Chu Xiu, however, showed no sign of relenting. He said gently, "Why do you say that, Third Miss? We, the Inspection Division, are impartial in our work. How could we pretend to be ignorant when we know the truth?"
"The person who died from witchcraft was my brother's wife-to-be. How could he have killed her?"
Chu Xiu rested his hand on the sword at his waist and said, "Who can say for sure? There are many cases of killing wives for profit. If the third lady continues to try to stop you, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
Pei Ruxin pinched her waist and straightened her back, trying to make herself look not much shorter than Chu Xiu, but it was useless in the end. However, she still had to be imposing. She said, "What? Master Pei, do you still want to fight in public?"
Chu Xiu bowed slightly and said, "If they disturb public order, the Inspection Department has the right to take compulsory measures against them."
He clearly looked servile, but what he said immediately angered Pei Ruxin. She rolled her eyes at Chu Xiu, then looked at Pei Song. At this moment, Pei Song was being held down by two servants and was anxious to go to Pei Ruxin's direction.
She opened her mouth and said, "Master Chu, I need evidence to do anything. Please show me the thing. If it is indeed something used to practice witchcraft, I will say nothing."
Chu Xiu's drooping face turned cold. The situation Ah Zan had set for him was difficult to accept. He had thought it would be easy to just take away a fool, but who would have expected Pei San to suddenly appear halfway? The Pei family had three descendants in total. Aside from the eldest, Pei Song, the remaining two were all very shrewd.
He was forced to give the jar to Pei Ruxin.
Pei Ruxin opened the bottles and jars, and after seeing what was inside, he became even more angry and asked, "What are all these things in there? Can these things be used to make witchcraft?"
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and since it was right below the room where Ye Lanzhou and Xie Chengyan were, the two of them could hear everything clearly. Xie Chengyan guessed that this was a trap set by his second sister.
Young Master Pei used witchcraft to kill his wife. How could such a man's family possibly produce another princess?
Xie Zhaohe sat high in the hall, shouldering the heavy responsibility entrusted by the late emperor, and holding in his hand the imperial seal that had only been held by emperors of all dynasties. Such a person only cares about the results when doing things, and if the process must be considered, then no one is innocent.
He had no intention of getting involved. His second sister was stronger than him, so there was no need for him to get involved.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to eat, he heard Ye Lanzhou beside him say loudly, "Why not?"
Everyone heard the sound coming from above and looked up.
She continued, "Miss, you must have been dazzled just now. Why don't you open the jar and take another look?"
