After all, Lin Zixi was a member of their Marquis' Mansion. If this matter was resolved arbitrarily without a thorough investigation, it would be a bit too hasty.
After thinking about it, Chu Weiyue came up with a better idea.
"Leave this matter to me. I'll go back and ask. If it's really her, we'll put her in jail."
Although Wen Jingchi was not very willing, he had to obey Chu Weiyue's wishes and take the man and his men back to the prison first.
On the other side, Chu Weiyue hurried back to the mansion.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Zixi sitting in the yard admiring the flowers, chatting and laughing with a few maids as if nothing had happened.
When he noticed Chu Weiyue coming back, he immediately waved to him.
"Sister Weiyue, look how beautiful this flower is. I have never seen such a beautiful ephemeral flower."
When the little girls saw Chu Weiyue coming, they also bowed respectfully.
Chu Weiyue strode up to her, looking somewhat puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied.
"Lin Zixi, did you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zixi scratched his hair in frustration.
"Sister, what are you talking about? What do you mean, did I do it?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid here. Did you write this letter?"
She threw a letter in front of Lin Zixi. If she really did it, the other party naturally could not pretend to be confused anymore.
After picking up the letter and looking at it for a few seconds, Lin Zixi was still confused.
"Who wrote this letter? I have never seen it before, and I don't know what you are talking about. I have been at home all day and have not gone out anywhere today."
She spread her hands and completely shirked her responsibility.
But Chu Weiyue didn't want to give up. Instead, she continued to question her, trying to find out some clues.
The little girl on the side saw that something was wrong and immediately ran over to look for the old lady.
Upon learning that the two of them had an argument in the front yard, grandma hurried towards the garden.
After arriving at the garden and learning the truth of the matter, her expression suddenly became quite solemn.
"Zi Xi, is this true?" Grandma's voice was much higher than before.
Lin Zixi suddenly burst into tears: "Grandma, this matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know what my sister is talking about. Don't you know my character? Besides, there is no conflict of interest between my sister and me, why would I harm her?"
Hearing this, grandma nodded in agreement.
"Zixi is right. There has never been any grudge between you two. There is no need for her to do such a thing. Besides, with her intelligence, she wouldn't do it so obviously even if she did."
What grandma said makes sense. Lin Zixi and Chu Ranxin are very different.
Chu Ranxin usually does things without thinking, which makes it easy for others to find fault with him.
But Lin Zixi is unpredictable and often elusive, making it extremely difficult to catch her.
Just as Chu Weiyue was frowning and thinking, Lin Zixi suddenly remembered something.
"Sister, I remembered something important. Yesterday, Sister Ran Xin came to me with a letter and asked me to imitate the handwriting on the letter and write a letter. It seemed that she was asking someone to go to Pearl Lake for a trip. I felt strange at the time. Why did I have to imitate others? Could it be related to this matter?"
Lin Zixi deliberately pretended to be confused, as if she really knew nothing.
On second thought, this incident does seem like something Chu Ranxin did.
Grandma's face darkened instantly: "Go and call that girl Chu Ranxin to me."
In less than a moment, Chu Ranxin came over with a smile on his face.
She naturally knew what happened today and was quite satisfied.
Anyway, many people knew about Chu Weiyue and that playboy having sex by the Pearl Lake, so her goal was achieved.
"What do you want from me?" Chu Ranxin raised his head arrogantly, looking like he had no idea what he did wrong.
Chu Weiyue threw the letter in front of her: "You are still pretending here. Lin Zixi just said that you asked others to imitate my handwriting. This letter should be written by you to Wen Jingchi, right?"
Wen Jingchi had already handed the note to Chu Weiyue. He appeared at the Pearl Lake because he had received an invitation.
After picking it up and taking a look at it, Chu Ranxin's resentment reached its peak. He glared at Lin Zixi fiercely, wishing he could eat her alive.
Lin Zixi deliberately pretended to be scared, took a step back, and huddled beside his grandmother.
"Sister Ran Xin, have you forgotten that you were the one who gave me a letter to imitate yesterday? I had no idea what you were going to do..."
She bit her lower lip tightly, looking extremely innocent.
Chu Ranxin was so angry that his chest was about to explode, but he still forced himself to pretend to be confused.
"Lin Zixi, you little bitch, you actually dared to throw dirty water on me. Our family has really raised you in vain, you hateful ungrateful wolf..."
He cursed a few times and glared at Chu Weiyue in anger.
"Chu Weiyue, I think you are teaming up with Lin Zixi to deal with me. You can't bear to see me marry the Crown Prince. I didn't do this at all. Maybe Lin Zixi is the one who is crying thief. Do you have any evidence to prove that it was me?"
Chu Weiyue folded her hands over her chest and glanced at her with disdain.
"It's easy to get evidence. I'll give it to you right now! As long as we interrogate that man, we'll know who is the mastermind behind this."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ranxin's face showed a moment of panic.
If they tortured him severely, the man would definitely not be able to withstand it and would tell everything.
Seeing that she was scared, Chu Weiyue didn't want to waste time talking to him.
Because it was getting late, she planned to interrogate the lecherous man who tried to humiliate her early tomorrow morning.
The next morning, before they could even go out, a middle-aged couple dressed in luxurious attire came over crying, holding a tablet in their hands.
Seeing the name written above, Chu Weiyue frowned subconsciously, as if it was the playboy who teased him.
Seeing Chu Weiyue coming out, the woman rushed over angrily and grabbed her clothes and refused to let go.
"It was you, this damn girl, who killed my son. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have died. You must give me an explanation."
The middle-aged man chimed in: "It was you who invited my son to date you yesterday, but now he has died for no apparent reason. It's all your fault! You must marry my son and be his widow to keep vigil for him!"
"You're right. This is the only way to protect my son's spirit in heaven. You must take on this responsibility."
The couple quarreled loudly and wanted to fight with Chu Weiyue.
This made Chu Weiyue a little depressed. This couple was really bold. They even dared to openly confront the court.
Her marriage with Wen Jingchi was granted by the Emperor. They were really courting death by daring to make such a request.
