Kang Yueran touched her chest and found her heart was still beating fast. She picked up a large cup, poured a glass of spiritual spring water, added a few cubes of ice, and drank two large cups before she felt much better.
She really wanted to know who framed her, so she came out of the space and walked to the gate of the yard to wait.
Hearing footsteps, she held the wall with one hand and covered her chest with the other, pretending to be in pain.
After a while, Chai Shiqin staggered in. His face and neck were red, and his eyes were blurry. It was obvious that he was drunk.
He tilted his head and looked at Kang Yueran, "Madam, you came to see me?" After saying that, he pounced towards Kang Yueran.
Kang Yueran was too lazy to pretend to be a drunk, so she leaned sideways to avoid him and grabbed Chai Shiqin's arm to prevent him from falling to the ground.
She helped Chai Shiqin sit on the ground and said, "Just stay here!"
Chai Shiqin struggled to get up, "I don't want to stay here, Madam, where are you going?"
Kang Yueran knocked Chai Shiqin unconscious with a knife and said, "Just stay here!"
She straightened her clothes and left the Bronze Courtyard. She didn't know the way, so she had to go forward by feeling.
"Get out! I'll make sure you die a miserable death!"
Kang Yueran paused. This was He Zhengchu's voice!
She followed the sound to a courtyard where Lu Fang was hugging He Zhengchu and trying to kiss him. "Just give in to me. I really love you."
He Zhengchu's face flushed and sweat covered his forehead...
Kang Yueran didn't say anything, walked up to Lu Fang, grabbed him, and kicked him out.
Lu Fang spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
He Zhengchu's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, "Sister..."
He also had a strong fragrance on him, "Wait a moment."
Kang Yueran walked to a corner, took out a large pottery basin of spiritual spring water from the space, returned to He Zhengchu, squatted down and handed it to He Zhengchu's mouth, "Drink it, drink it all!"
He Zhengchu opened his mouth and drank, choking twice in the middle, but he didn't stop.
After drinking the water, He Zhengchu felt less hot. "I feel much better."
Kang Yueran threw down the pottery basin and helped He Zhengchu up, "Let's go!"
He Zhengchu looked at Lu Fang with disgust, "Kill him!"
"There are too many people here now. Tonight, I will go and kill him."
As soon as the two of them left the yard, they saw Hu Dacheng looking around anxiously.
“Dacheng, here!”
Hu Dacheng was almost in tears. "Girl, Zhengchu, are you okay? I just went to the bathroom and couldn't find you when I came back."
He Zhengchu said weakly, "Someone said something happened to you and brought me here."
"Which bastard did this?"
Kang Yueran said, "Zhengchu is not feeling well. Dacheng, carry Zhengchu on your back and let's go first. I'll ask Lu Fang about this tonight."
She went to say hello to Princess Duan, and left with He Zhengchu, Hu Dacheng, and Qiao Ling.
But before she could go find Lu Fang at night, the runners from the Ministry of Justice came to her door in the evening.
"Master Lu Fang of the Guangji Marquis's mansion has died. Guangji Marquis has gone to the Ministry of Justice to accuse Miss Kang of murder. Please come with us to the Ministry of Justice."
Kang Yueran's kick to Lu Fang was indeed very heavy. "Good!"
He Zhengchu heard the news and chased to the gate, catching up with Kang Yueran, "Sister..."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Don't worry, we haven't seen Lu Fang today. I didn't kill him, so I'm sure I'll be fine."
"I'm going to find Prince Ping."
"No, you went to find Prince Duan. It was you who helped Prince Duan to his study. Even though he was drunk, he should still remember."
Kang Yueran looked confident, which made He Zhengchu feel a little relieved. "Okay!"
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Justice Zhou Yang sat in the middle, with Chai Shijing and Chai Shilun on both sides, and Guangji Bo standing below the hall.
Zhou Yang spoke first, "Miss Kang, Earl Guangji is suing you for killing his son. What do you have to say?"
Kang Yueran asked back, "Where are the witnesses? Where are the physical evidence? Who saw me kill someone?"
Guangji Bo angrily said, "There are witnesses from the servants of Prince Duan's mansion. You and your good brother He Zhengchu were having a secret meeting at Prince Duan's mansion. My son saw you and you kicked him to death."
Kang Yueran clapped his hands, "Mr. Guangji, it's a pity that you don't go write the storybook. If there was something going on between He Zhengchu and me, would we have to go to Prince Duan's mansion for a secret meeting?
Mr. Zhou, I still say the same thing, where are the witnesses? Where are the physical evidence? What is the basis for accusing me of murder?
Zhou Yang shouted, "Bring the witness! Bring the coroner!"
The witness was Xiaoyun, the maidservant who had spilled Qiaoling's soup all over her. "Sir, I saw Miss Kang enter Baiju Courtyard with my own eyes. It was a long time before she came out hugging He Zhengchu."
The coroner said, "I examined Master Lu's body and confirmed that his ribs were broken by a kick, which then penetrated his lungs and killed him. There was only one footprint on his body, indicating a single kick that killed him. The killer must have been extremely strong."
Guangji Bo asked, "Kang Yueran, everyone knows you are as strong as an ox. What else do you have to say?"
Kang Yueran was calm and collected. "I'd like to ask the coroner, is it too arbitrary to say that a single kick killed him based on just one footprint? Or maybe someone kicked Lu Fang to death, changed his clothes, and then kicked him again."
Guangji Bo replied: "Impossible, my son's clothes have not been changed."
"Okay, let's just assume he didn't change his clothes. There are plenty of people who can kick someone to death. Why do you think it was me?"
"I have the maid Xiaoyun as my witness!"
Kang Yueran looked at Xiaoyun, "You lit a love incense in Prince Duan's study, trying to seduce him, but Zhengchu caught you. You were so angry that you falsely accused me. How can a maid like you gain people's trust?"
