Jiang Si's hand on his knee moved slightly.

I have to admit that this Lord Zhen in front of me has an extraordinarily sharp mind.

For such people, telling lies is only to bring disgrace upon themselves.

Jiang Si was quite straightforward, and smiled with curved lips: "Maybe."

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard and found the girl in front of him more and more interesting.

"I am very curious as to why both Madam Xiu and Mr. Chi dreamt of their beloved daughters' ghosts in their dreams at the same time." This was Zhen Shicheng's test, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Si closely.

The girl in front of him looked calm and said in a calm tone: "As people often say, there is a god watching over us. God is watching us."

"A person is doing good, and God is watching!" Zhen Shicheng's expression became more serious. "When God wants to punish evil people, he will definitely use the hands of people. Miss Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "Isn't that the kind of person you are? Only with a righteous man like you can the prince of Changxing be brought to justice and the murdered women be vindicated."

Zhen Shicheng stared at Jiang Si with burning eyes.

Jiang Si raised her beautifully curved chin and let him look at her.

She had a clear conscience and was naturally not afraid of any questioning.

Even if it is confirmed that she was playing tricks, Lord Zhen can't arrest her for this reason, right?

Zhen Shicheng suddenly smiled and winked at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si was a little confused for a moment.

Lord Zhen is already old, and it's scary to see him suddenly make such an expression.

"Little girl, don't think of me as some kind of Shuntian prefect, just think of me as a friend with whom you have a connection. Tell me how you did it?"

Jiang Si couldn't help but twitch her lips at the sudden change of heart, and said in a dumbfounded tone, "What are you talking about, sir? I don't understand a thing."

Zhen Shicheng: “…” He was so stupid as to not care about his old face. He didn’t expect the girl to be so heartless!

There was a smile flashing in Jiang Si's eyes.

No matter what the other party guessed about her, she had to play dumb.

Fortunately, Lord Zhen is not the kind of person who would force a little girl to achieve his goal.

Zhen Shicheng sighed and said, "Forget it. Maybe I am overthinking it."

It's no use pretending to be stupid. I don't know if he will tell the truth to him after we get to know each other better.

For someone who is used to being in control of everything in a case, it is very frustrating to encounter something that is beyond comprehension.

Well, his eldest son is a decent-looking man, and he will be coming to Beijing soon. Maybe they can get to know him.

Several thoughts flashed through Zhen Shicheng's mind in an instant, and he suddenly thought the last idea was very good.

Humph, if the little girl entered his house, would she dare not tell the truth to him, the head of the family?

Well, it seems that I will have to give that kid some good advice after my eldest son comes.

On the official road, a young man riding a white horse was walking beside the carriage and suddenly sneezed three times in succession.

The car window curtain was lifted up, and a woman's gentle voice came out: "Ah Yan, did you catch a cold?"

The boy rubbed his nose and smiled: "Maybe my father missed me."

Every time his father thinks about him, something bad happens! He doesn't know what kind of troubles are waiting for him when he goes to Beijing this time.

Jiang Si was speechless when she saw Zhen Shicheng's expression unable to hide his excitement.

I never thought that this Lord Zhen, who is so good at solving cases, is so... approachable in private?

"Master Zhen, I wonder how Madam Xiu is doing?"

Zhen Shicheng gathered his thoughts and regained his serious expression: "Madam Xiu is currently being housed in the guest room at the back of the government office. Is Miss Jiang concerned about her?"

"I heard that Madam Xiu was very pitiful. She became a widow at an early age and depended on her daughter for support. She raised her daughter with great difficulty, but she never expected that her daughter would suffer such a misfortune..."

"Yeah." Zhen Shicheng sighed.

Every time a case is solved, the most heartbreaking things are the victims, and Lady Xiu is particularly pitiful.

"I am planning to open a cosmetics shop and I need female workers. If Master Zhen has no place to put Miss Xiu, let her work in my cosmetics shop."

Zhen Shicheng's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, that's great."

Now the case has not been completely concluded, it is still reasonable for Lady Xiu to live in the government office, but it will not be appropriate to live there after the case is completely concluded. His family has not yet come to Beijing, and people in the world are full of gossips. After a long time, all kinds of rumors will spread.

Providing Miss Xiu with a safe place to support herself is much better than giving her a sum of money.

Zhen Shicheng liked the girl in front of him more and more.

He didn't expect that he would have such an unexpected gain during this trip.

"Hahaha, I would like to thank Miss Jiang on behalf of Madam Xiu."

Jiang Si said hurriedly, "You are too polite, sir. It is just that it is inconvenient for me to show my face in public when I run a cosmetics shop, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me and don't tell Madam Xiu about my boss's situation."

"That's natural, Miss Jiang, don't worry. But——"

"My Lord, do you still have any difficulties?"

After the initial excitement, Zhen Shicheng thought about the practical problem again: "Mrs. Xiu is suffering from the pain of losing her daughter. It will be difficult for her to cheer up in a short time."

Jiang Si couldn't help but think of Miss Xiu whom he met that night.

It can be said that Lady Xiu's mental state is only one step away from being half crazy.

She wanted to help Xiu Niangzi.

Everyone has compassion, let alone Lady Xiu's daughter, who was also harmed by the Prince of Changxing. This is probably a lamentable fate.

Now that Xiu Niangzi's daughter has passed away, she has gotten rid of the shadow of her past life, so let her help her mother live well on behalf of Xiu Niangzi's daughter.

"When does Miss Xiu usually get up?"

Zhen Shicheng was stunned by the question and said awkwardly, "I didn't notice it."

Why is he paying attention to this!

Jiang Si knew that she had said something wrong, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "I have a way that may cheer up Miss Xiu."

"Well, I'd like to hear the details." Zhen Shicheng's eyes lit up.

Jiang Si said a few words in a low voice. Zhen Shicheng was stunned at first, and then nodded.

"This trip is worth it. Miss Jiang, we'll see you later."

"I'll take my leave now." Jiang Si knelt down and walked out of the room.

Zhen Shicheng played his part and patiently met Jiang Li and Jiang Pei before leaving the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.

Madam Feng did not show up from beginning to end, but she sent her maid to keep an eye on the movements here. When she heard that Zhen Shicheng had left, she said repeatedly: "What misfortune our family has encountered such a family and caused trouble for no reason! Go tell the second wife to let the second young lady stay in the yard in the future and don't go out when she has nothing to do."

Since she was abused after getting married, she should have told her parents' elders as soon as possible. If they had divorced a few years ago, this would never have happened!

Old Madam Feng completely hated her once most beloved granddaughter.

When Jiang Qian got the news, she bit her lip in anger.

My grandmother said this after the murder of Cao Xingyu was exposed. If she had asked for a divorce because of being beaten two years earlier, the first person who would not agree would have been my grandmother!

She was unwilling to accept this and she wanted to take revenge on everyone who had caused her to fall into this situation!

Jiang Qian wiped the blood from her lips, with a look of madness in her eyes.
