The officials and the coroner gathered together and determined that Lu Qingxue had drowned and was murdered.
And the murderer happened to be among the people attending the birthday party.
Shen Zhilan stood in the last row, her eyes looking thoughtful.
She remembered very clearly that Jiang Yuzhu was the scapegoat for Lu Qingxue's death in her previous life. If Miss Lu was murdered, who was the real murderer?
Xia Er approached her young lady and asked, "Young lady, is the real murderer a man or a woman?"
Shen Zhilan shook her head and remained silent. She didn't know either.
After her rebirth, she did not fall into the trap set by the vicious concubine and changed her own trajectory.
Since Shen Zhilan arrived in the capital, many things have undergone subtle changes.
Whether it was Princess Yutan's competition with Jiang Yuzhu or Lu Qingxue's confirmed murder, it was beyond Shen Zhilan's cognition.
The officers asked everyone present not to leave, and the ladies gathered together, whispering.
Wei Jing's face was pale and her heart was beating fast.
There was a clear opportunity to step on Jiang Yuzhu, but she turned the tables on him. Why?
"The dead cannot be resurrected, so you don't have to be too sad."
Princess Yu Tan learned that Wei Jing and Lu Qingxue were good friends and offered her comfort.
Wei Jing forced herself to stay alert: "The princess is right, finding the real culprit is more important."
The murderer must first have a motive and secondly, time to commit the crime.
From beginning to end, Wei Jing was helping her grandmother, Madam Wei, entertain the guests and never left the stage.
"Mrs. Xie, you don't seem to like opera very much?"
Wei Jing once again brought the focus back to Jiang Yuzhu.
Now, Wei Jing's people found their target again and started shooting arrows at Jiang Yuzhu.
"Sister Wei, Madam Xie just left in a hurry with her maid. Who knows what shameful things they did?"
The person who spoke had a grudge against Jiang Yuzhu. She was Feng Qing's sister Feng Shuang.
"Sister Feng, you can't say that. It's just that the murderer is among the guests who came to celebrate the birthday. The Wei family is under pressure."
Wei Jing felt so happy that she seized the opportunity to hold Jiang Yuzhu tightly.
Everyone realized it later and their eyes were always on Jiang Yuzhu. If she could not give a reasonable explanation and find a witness, she would be a suspect.
Facing the accusation, Jiang Yuzhu slightly curved her lips, took a sip of tea, raised her eyelids lazily and said, "There are so many guests celebrating my birthday, why is Miss Feng always looking at me?"
Wei Jing's group is keeping an eye on Jiang Yuzhu, so it must be up to no good.
Princess Yutan took Jiang Yuzhu's teacup and drank it all in one gulp. This time it was Jiang Yuzhu's turn to be shocked: "Princess, I've had that cup of tea before!"
Princess Yutan said a little uncomfortably, "I saw that you didn't fall down after drinking it and were still in the mood to make fun of it. That means the tea is not poisonous."
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
The two interacted and a small commotion broke out around them.
Just now, Princess Yutan and Jiang Yuzhu were racing horses and shooting arrows. Princess Yutan almost wanted to step on Jiang Yuzhu. How long has it been since then, and the two of them are already close enough to drink a cup of tea together?
After seeing this, Wei Jing felt even worse. She opened her mouth, but a sigh finally emerged from her lips.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
Princess Yutan watched coldly and was even more disappointed with Wei Jing.
Lu Qingxue is already dead, but Wei Jing is still taking the opportunity to trip up her love rival. Where's her brain?
He's just a man, and it's unbecoming for women to fight over him.
Gradually, Princess Yutan became even more dissatisfied with Wei Jing.
In the chaos, Xie Zhao came with the officials.
Hearing Wei Jing's doubts, Xie Zhao calmly explained: "Miss Wei's doubts are not unreasonable."
His words made Wei Jing's eyes brighten. If it were not the wrong occasion, Wei Jing would have looked at Xie Zhao lovingly to express her gratitude.
But Xie Zhao's next words hit Wei Jing hard: "My wife and I were fishing by the lake, and the servants can all be witnesses."
Wei Jing's face was frozen, and the blood in her body seemed to be coagulating. After a long while, she finally found her voice: "Brother, you said you wanted to go fishing with her?"
Impossible! How could a vulgar person like Jiang Yuzhu have such a refined hobby?
Xie Zhao nodded solemnly: "That's the truth."
“Bang!”
The blood color on Wei Jing's face faded completely, and the teacup in her hand fell on the table.
The blue and white porcelain collided with the rosewood table, making a crisp sound.
The teacup was shattered into pieces and the tea splashed everywhere.
Wei Jing's mind was full of what Xie Zhao said about him and Jiang Yuzhu fishing, and her face was distorted unnaturally.
"Thank you, sir. My lady is being rude."
The maids Shuxiang and Moyun hurried forward and supported Wei Jing on the left and right.
In front of everyone, the two maids made amends, saying, "Miss Lu's death was unclear, and it's hard for my young lady to accept it for a while."
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to pursue the matter after hearing such nice words.
Especially in front of the Queen Mother, it is important to give the other party respect.
Despite this, Jiang Yuzhu did not intend to let Wei Jing go.
She is too lazy to fight for anything. If someone makes her unhappy, she will make that person unhappy for the rest of his life!
"It's just a coincidence that it happened today. I agreed with the master to go fishing and grill the fish when I get home. If the master hadn't been there to testify, I would have been in big trouble with my personality!"
Jiang Yuzhu was startled and patted her chest to calm herself down.
The Queen Mother was the most superstitious. Every time she saw Jiang Yuzhu being bullied, she was able to turn danger into safety. Why didn't she have such good luck when she was fighting with other concubines in the palace?
Jiang Yuzhu is indeed blessed and is the chosen one by God.
If she hadn't been so overbearing and spoiled by the Jiang family, the Queen Mother would have wanted to bring Jiang Yuzhu into the palace, at least to make her a royal concubine.
Since the case was not solved, the ladies took the initiative to wait in the room of the waterside pavilion to cooperate with the investigation.
