Chapter 16 Qi Wei Jing
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 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 did not change 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 confirmation of being murdered, it was beyond Shen Zhilan's understanding.
The officers asked everyone present not to leave, and the ladies gathered together, whispering.
Wei Jing's face turned 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 Yutan learned that Wei Jing and Lu Qingxue were good friends and said something to comfort them.
Wei Jing forced herself to stay alert: "What the princess said is that finding the real murderer 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, to 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 and her maid just left in a hurry. Who knows what shameful things they did?"
The person who was speaking 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 and bit Jiang Yuzhu tightly.
Everyone realized it later and their eyes were always on Jiang Yuzhu. If she couldn't 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 the birthday, why is Miss Feng always looking at me?"
Wei Jing's group is keeping an eye on Jiang Yuzhu, and that must be bad news.
Princess Yutan took Jiang Yuzhu's teacup and drank it all. This time it was Jiang Yuzhu's turn to be shocked: "Princess, I drank that cup of tea before!"
Princess Yutan said a little uncomfortably: "This princess saw that you didn't fall down after drinking it and were still in the mood to make fun of it, which means that 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, and Princess Yutan almost wanted to step on Jiang Yuzhu. How long has it been since then, and they 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 came out.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
Princess Yutan watched coldly and became 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. What's wrong with 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 the occasion was not wrong, Wei Jing would definitely look at Xie Zhao lovingly to express her gratitude.
But Xie Zhao's next words hit Wei Jing hard: "This official and my wife 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 an elegant hobby!
Xie Zhao nodded solemnly: "That's the truth."
“Bang!”
The 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 broke 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 up for it, saying, "Miss Lu died in an unclear way. It's hard for my young lady to accept it for a while."
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't 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 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 in the palace with other concubines?
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.
Jiang Yuzhu yawned and felt drowsy.
They waited until the lights were turned on.
The servants from the Wei Mansion brought dinner, but Jiang Yuzhu was worried that something might go wrong, so she didn't eat a single bite.
Hongli took out the package and asked, "Madam, I see that the corner of your skirt is dirty. Why don't you change it?"
Jiang Yuzhu looked down and found that she had accidentally rubbed a piece of it.
She came behind the screen and took off her silk clothes, then put on a small red dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers.
Inside the room, the firelight was dim.
Jiang Yuzhu's skin was as white as cream, coated with a layer of soft light, and her figure was well-proportioned, every part of her was beautiful.
Staring at the red dot on her arm, Jiang Yuzhu was dumbfounded. The original owner really had no experience at all!
Also, he is blind to fall in love with Feng Qing, which shows that his aesthetic taste is not up to par.
At the door, Hong Feng's voice came: "Madam, the master is here."
"Please ask him to come in."
The hero had at least helped her, so Jiang Yuzhu couldn't let Xie Zhao get the cold shoulder again. She straightened her dress and quickly walked out from behind the screen: "Master, has the case been concluded?"
It's been almost a day, there should be a result.
There were so many people at the birthday party, there must be an eyewitness.
Xie Zhao nodded, moved his gaze to the candle and said, "Yes."
Lu Qingxue is having an affair with the eldest son of the Xue family, and the two have already decided to spend their lives together.
However, the two families were not a good match, and due to family prejudice, the Lu family opposed the marriage.
A few months ago, Lu Qingxue met Master Xue in a dilapidated temple, and they were so passionate about each other that they could not control themselves.
As soon as Xie Zhaogang raised his head, Jiang Yuzhu felt something was wrong. Her skirt suddenly fell down, revealing a pair of smooth and white legs.
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
What to do? She wanted to explain!
