The Ministry of Revenue had something going on, so Chai Shijing didn't even go to Prince Duan's mansion. "I've been at the Ministry of Revenue since noon, and after hearing the news, I came straight here from there. Everyone in the Ministry can testify to this."
"Since you didn't go to Prince Duan's Mansion, how do you know that Kang Yueran didn't kill anyone?"
"Didn't Second Brother and Earl Guangji also not see Miss Kang kill anyone with their own eyes?"
Chai Shilun pointed at Xiaoyun and said, "That servant saw it!"
Chai Shijing snorted coldly, "Second brother may not have listened carefully just now. The girl said she saw Miss Kang enter the Baiju Courtyard where Lu Fang died, but she didn't say she saw Miss Kang kill anyone with her own eyes. Besides, how can you take the words of a traitorous servant seriously?"
Kang Yueran laughed as she listened, thinking, who doesn't have a prince to support them?
Seeing Kang Yueran smiling so happily, Guangjibo became even more furious. "Master Zhou, Kang Yueran is cruel by nature and addicted to killing. You must not let her go."
Chai Shijing was furious. "Uncle Guangji, do you know that maliciously slandering others can be punished by defamation and the tongue can be cut off?"
Zhou Yang was in a dilemma. "Given the numerous doubts surrounding this case, I will re-examine it after I find new evidence."
Guangjibo refused, "Master Zhou, Kang Yueran is a suspect and should be taken to prison."
"Since there's no concrete evidence, we can't conclude that Miss Kang was responsible. Why is she imprisoned? Does Earl Guangji want to imprison anyone he suspects?"
Guangjibo thought of Lu Fang's tragic death and ignored everything else. "Is Prince Ping going to protect Kang Yueran?"
Kang Yueran spoke before Chai Shijing could, "Master Zhou, I am willing to spend a night in jail. However, I am now suing Earl Guangji for defamation. Since you can imprison people based on mere suspicion without evidence, I think Earl Guangji will have to spend the night in jail as well."
"this......"
Guangjibo hardened his heart and said, "Let him stay! God will see to it and give my son justice."
Chai Shijing walked up to Kang Yueran and asked, "How can you live in jail!"
"It's okay. Lord Zhou will probably give me a separate cell for your sake. I won't be in danger."
Kang Yueran turned to the coroner and said seriously, "I'm very sure I didn't kill Lu Fang. Please examine Lu Fang's body carefully tomorrow. I think we will find some clues."
The coroner saluted and said, "Yes, I will re-examine it tomorrow."
Chai Shijing was still worried, "Are you sure you want to..."
Kang Yueran hugged Chai Shijing's waist and said, "Well, don't worry!"
Guangjibo cursed: "You have no sense of shame!"
Kang Yueran let go of Chai Shijing and said to Zhou Yang, "Master Zhou, please also give Earl Guangji a separate cell. I'm afraid he'll be lonely at night and might molest the other prisoners."
Guangjibo was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think everyone is like you..."
Zhou Yang yelled, "Hurry up, hurry up, put him in a cell, and remember to put him in solitary confinement!"
Kang Yueran laughed heartily, "The two of you, elder brothers, please be careful. Don't let Guangjibo take advantage of you."
Chai Shijing took Kang Yueran's hand and said, "Stop playing around. I'll go to my eighth brother's house and find out what's going on. I'll get you out as soon as possible."
Kang Yueran shook her head and said, "A man of integrity has nothing to fear. Lord Zhou is on my side. You should stay out of this, or people will accuse you of collusion." As she spoke, she winked at Chai Shijing.
Chai Shilun warned Chai Shijing, "I will send people to keep an eye on your Prince Ping's Mansion. If you interfere, I will report you to my father."
Chai Shijing was not to be outdone. "I believe Miss Kang is innocent and there is no need to interfere. I advise my second brother to send someone to keep an eye on the Guangji Marquis's Mansion to prevent anyone from getting ahead of themselves."
Zhou Yang immediately assured: "I will send someone to Prince Duan's mansion right away. I believe Prince Duan should be awake by now."
"Thank you, Master Zhou!"
Zhou Yang cupped his hands, "Your Highness, you're welcome!"
Chai Shilun flicked his sleeves and left!
Chai Shijing knew that Kang Yueran was going to cause trouble again, but Zhou Yang was present, so it was inconvenient for him to ask Kang Yueran what she was going to do. "You have to be careful in everything!" Zhou Yang had a grudge against Duke Lu and was experienced in dealing with things, but he was still worried about Yueran staying in prison.
Kang Yueran nodded, "Master Zhou, where is my cell?"
Lu Fang died and Kang Yueran was imprisoned. These two pieces of news spread quickly. Chai Shibo and Chu Yun accompanied He Zhengchu to Prince Ping's mansion to inquire about the situation.
After returning home, He Zhengchu took a cold shower and now had a slight fever. He recounted what happened at Prince Duan's mansion. "It's very likely that Lu Fang was really kicked to death by his sister."
Chai Shibo was indignant, "That's what he deserves!"
Chu Yun was equally indignant. "With Lu Fang's death, the capital has one less scourge. Well done, Miss Kang!"
He Zhengchu looked worried. "It's not a pity for Lu Fang to die, but what about my sister? Now that Prince Jin has intervened, don't forget that Lu Fang is Duke Lu's son-in-law."
"If Lu Fang dies, Duke Lu will be able to take his daughter back. He won't care whether Lu Fang lives or dies."
"Prince Ning, you are right, but this matter concerns my sister. There is no guarantee that Duke Lu will not make a move."
Chai Shijing said, "I've already reminded Zhou Yang of this. Yue Ran insists on staying in jail, and I don't know what she's trying to do."
Chai Shibo was overjoyed. "Will Miss Kang sneak out of the cell in the middle of the night and embarrass Uncle Guangji? That kind of embarrassment...hahahaha..."
He Zhengchu shook his head. "Guangji Bo is not a good person, not one who likes that. Besides, embarrassing Guangji Bo would only harm her sister, so she definitely won't do that."
Chai Shijing poured the tea in the cup into the sea of tea. "Don't guess anymore. Yueran knows how to act. Let's wait for news. It's getting late. You should all go back."
