Wei Qingqiu got off the carriage and walked towards the pavilion. Inside the pavilion, a man was standing with his hands behind his back. From the back, he looked like a tall young man.
She stood a few steps away, bowed to the man, and asked softly, "Brother, I am the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion. I have come to keep an appointment and listen to you tell me the truth!"
The other party knew that someone was coming, but he did not turn around to look at the person. He still stood with his hands behind his back and his back to her.
"Madam Shangshu is willing to come to the appointment. I have seen it sincerely. When the young master was murdered, although I did not help him, I will not be able to sleep or eat in peace if I don't tell you the truth."
Wei Qingqiu asked anxiously: "Then, who is the person who harmed my son?"
"Is Madam Shangshu mentally prepared?"
Wei Qingqiu nodded vigorously: "I'm ready, little brother, tell me quickly, who killed my son?"
"The current Fourth Prince! Jing Chengzhi!"
The other party spoke with great determination, which surprised Wei Qingqiu. She looked behind her, where Jing Chengzhi was in her car.
Wei Qingqiu lowered his head and frowned, "Do you have any evidence?"
The other party slowly turned around and looked at Wei Qingqiu.
Wei Qingqiu looked at the person in front of him with some surprise, "Why do you look so familiar to me?"
In the carriage, Jing Chengzhi almost rushed out when he heard the other party say that the murderer was him. Now Wei Qingqiu said that the man looked familiar, he could no longer hold back, lifted part of the curtain and looked towards the pavilion.
The sight was unclear, and it was unclear who was in the pavilion, but the figure was indeed very familiar...
"Madam Shangshu, I have already told you who the murderer is. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Take this wooden box back and give it to the Shangshu. He will definitely believe me after seeing it."
"The key has been sent to the Shangshu Mansion. Go away! We will never see each other again!"
He left the pavilion in the opposite direction. Wei Qingqiu wanted to stop him, but in the end he just looked at the wooden box in his hand and gave up.
She turned and walked towards the carriage. In the carriage, Jing Chengzhi was still sitting quietly, looking at her with a calm expression.
Wei Qingqiu looked at him questioningly, "Did the Fourth Prince hear what that person said just now?"
"Well, he said the murderer was this prince. Why did Madam Shangshu believe it?"
Wei Qingqiu glanced at the locked wooden box in his hand and finally shook his head: "I don't believe it yet!"
Jing Chengzhi's eyes fell on the box and he asked with a smile, "Madam Shangshu, why don't you open the box now and clear this prince's name?"
Wei Qingqiu looked embarrassed. "The box is locked. The other party said that the key has been sent to the Shangshu. He also said that you will believe his words after you open it."
"I think this is just a trick and can't be believed!"
Jing Chengzhi looked at her steadily, with a smile on his face.
"This prince feels very aggrieved and wants to see it now. Madam Shangshu, will you allow this prince to forcefully open this box?"
Wei Qingqiu looked at Jing Chengzhi hesitantly: "If the Fourth Prince is really curious, why not come with me to the Shangshu Mansion and open it with the key. Then we can explain it clearly in front of the master."
Jing Chengzhi looked at her coldly without saying anything. Wei Qingqiu ordered the servant outside, "Let's go back to the mansion!"
The driver started the horses, and the carriage began to move shakily. Jing Chengzhi thought for a while before asking, "Madam Shangshu, does that person in the pavilion look familiar to you?"
"Yes, but I can't remember who it is."
"You're close to him, so your sight must be good. Think about it carefully!"
Jing Chengzhi looked at her expectantly, trying to figure out the man's identity. He looked familiar, could he be someone around him?
And that box...
Wei Qingqiu shook his head, looking as if he had a headache and couldn't figure it out at all.
The roads were overgrown with weeds everywhere, and this place was remote. There was no one on the road, the moonlight was dim, and not a single star could be seen.
The two of them sat in the carriage for a long time, and they didn't know how far they had traveled. Jing Chengzhi opened his eyes and suddenly grabbed Wei Qingqiu's neck.
Wei Qingqiu was originally reaching out to touch the surface of the wooden box, but was startled by Jing Chengzhi's sudden action. She looked at Jing Chengzhi in amazement.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, let's check the truth now!"
The gentleness on his face was gone, replaced by ruthlessness.
Wei Qingqiu stared at him with wide eyes and tried to pry his hands away. The driver outside heard the movement, lifted the curtain and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, Madam?"
When the driver saw Jing Chengzhi doing something bad to Wei Qingqiu, he immediately rushed in.
Jing Chengzhi swung out a palm and chopped towards the driver. The driver cried out in pain and continued to duel with him.
Wei Qingqiu was free and began to cough violently. After catching her breath, she looked at Jing Chengzhi and said angrily, "It seems that the Fourth Prince is guilty. The murderer is really you!"
Jing Chengzhi was fighting with the coachman and had no time to pay attention to Wei Qingqiu, so Wei Qingqiu jumped out of the carriage.
She fell to the ground and quickly got up. The coachman Jing Chengzhi, who was following behind, saw that something was wrong and immediately sped up the carriage to catch up with the carriage in front.
Without a driver, the horse gradually slowed down, and finally, it went to the side and started eating grass.
Wei Qingqiu fled quickly, protecting the box in his hand. In the carriage behind, Jing Chengzhi jumped out and shouted to Wei Qingqiu, "Madam Shangshu, where are you trying to escape to? Why don't you satisfy this prince's curiosity?"
There was a smile on his lips. Although he didn't walk fast, each step he took was extremely big. Wei Qingqiu fled in panic and then fell to the ground in disgrace.
She turned around and looked at Jing Chengzhi, who was already nearby.
Under the dim moonlight, Jing Chengzhi's figure was stretched and projected onto the ground, covering Wei Qingqiu. Every time he took a step, the stones on the road rustled on the silent ground.
He looked down at her and held out his hand: "Give it to me!"
Wei Qingqiu fell to the ground, looking at him with fear: "You, why did you do this? Are you really the murderer? What hatred do you have with my son? Why did you kill my son?!"
She kept shouting and getting angry.
Jing Chengzhi just looked at her with contempt, and bent down to take the wooden box from her hand.
He chuckled and studied the box in his hand: "Mysterious stuff!"
He exerted a little force, and the box in his hand broke open. He opened the box, but it was empty, with nothing inside...
Jing Chengzhi was still surprised when he heard an unusual noise in the bushes. Someone rushed out and quickly surrounded Jing Chengzhi.
When Jing Chengzhi saw this moment, he felt that he had been fooled!
Jing Chengzhi's face turned pale as he watched a man slowly walk out from behind the officers and soldiers...
