Chapter 363 Kill! (Update 1)
Ye Shixian’s mind went blank in an instant!
The last trace of blood on her face faded, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked like a ghost.
Everyone else present was also stunned.
"Did I hear correctly? He just said that Ye Shixian...killed Gao? She killed her own mother!?"
The news was so explosive that many people thought they had made a mistake.
But, if one person can make a mistake, can so many people make the same mistake together?
"I heard it too! Clearly! What the gentleman said was that Ye Shixian killed Gao!"
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into an uproar!
Gao’s death has caused a lot of controversy these days, and many people feel sorry for Ye Shixian, but who could have thought that there would be such a shocking reversal in the end!
"How is it possible? Who in this world would be so cruel as to kill even his own mother?!"
In shock, many people's first reaction was disbelief.
Ye Shixian looks slender and fragile, how could she do such a thing?
Besides, ever since Ye Heng got into trouble, she and Gao have been dependent on each other. No matter how she thinks about it, she has no reason to do this!
At the moment when everyone was stunned, the officers and soldiers quickly rushed forward and surrounded Ye Shixian.
At this moment, Ye Shixian finally came to her senses.
Seeing that the soldier was about to attack, she shouted, "Who dares to touch me?"
Hong Tao was also stunned by this sudden scene. She kept thinking about Zhang Qian's words just now, and she was terrified.
In a hurry, she stepped forward and said, "Sir! Did you catch the wrong person? Gao is Miss Ye's biological mother, how could she have killed someone!?"
Zhang Qian looked at her coldly: "Whether she did it or not, only she knows best!"
Hong Tao became anxious. She was not worried about Ye Shixian, but - if something happened to Ye Shixian, then the young master would definitely be implicated!
Moreover, she has been with Ye Shixian these days, so it is possible that she will be interrogated carefully as well.
Ye Shixian's heart was beating fast.
She forced herself to calm down: "Master Zhang, you said that I killed my mother, do you have any evidence? Otherwise, where is the law if you arrest people for no reason?"
Zhang Qian looked at her and narrowed his eyes.
Ye Shixian today is completely different from the person I saw last time.
The timid and pitiful girl finally tore off the deceptive appearance at this moment, revealing her inherent cruelty.
He said coldly: "Not to mention physical evidence, there is also human evidence!"
If he wasn't sure, why would he come here at this time and make such a big fuss to arrest people?
Ye Shixian's heart sank, and a ridiculous guess suddenly emerged in her mind.
Zhang Qian was so tough, he must have found something, could it be... Shaoyao! ?
Just as this thought passed through her mind, she heard Zhang Qian coldly scolding: "Your personal maid Shaoyao has personally reported that it was you who strangled Gao that day!"
His voice was full of energy and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Ye Shixian's body swayed and she almost couldn't stand.
It’s definitely her…it’s definitely her!
Ye Shixian had never felt such regret as she did at that moment - why didn't she think that the slave girl secretly ran away and went directly to Shuntian Mansion!
If she had thought of this earlier, if she had stopped Shaoyao in time, she wouldn't have—
Suddenly, Ye Shixian opened her eyes wide and turned back to look at Ye Chutang!
She had wasted too much time here. If Ye Chutang hadn't been late in coming out, making her mistakenly believe that Shaoyao was hiding here, how could she have delayed until now! ?
Meeting her shocked gaze, Ye Chutang's eyes slightly curved.
——It seems that we have caught up.
Ye Shixian's breathing stopped suddenly, and her mind went blank at that moment, with only one voice echoing sharply in her ears.
She did it on purpose...Ye Chutang clearly did it on purpose!
She had known what Shaoyao was going to do a long time ago, and she acted like this on purpose to give Shaoyao time and opportunity to run to Shuntian Prefecture to report it!
But Shaoyao has never gone out in the past few days, so it is impossible for her to have the opportunity to collude with Ye Chutang.
So... Ye Chutang had already guessed that it was her who did it! ?
Ye Shixian felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, her limbs were freezing and her blood seemed to have solidified.
No wonder after the incident, there were so many rumors outside, but Ye Chutang remained as calm as a mountain.
No wonder Ye Chutang was willing to make such a vicious oath.
No wonder…
She knew it a long time ago!
All the things that had happened before were finally connected by an invisible rope.
Unspeakable fear surged from the depths of her heart. Ye Shixian had never felt this way before. It was as if every one of her thoughts was easily seen through by others. All her filth and dirtiness were exposed under the scorching sun, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
With every step she takes, there is a deeper trap waiting for her!
Hongtao is going crazy.
"Sir, although Shaoyao is the young lady's maid, you can't trust everything she says! You don't know, she has been lazy and disobedient recently. The young lady couldn't bear to blame her too much, and wanted to send her back home so that they could part ways amicably. But she heard it and ran away! Sir, it must be the girl's revenge on purpose!"
Zhang Qian glanced at her and said, "You seem to have only been at the Ye family for a few days. How come you know so much about these things? How can I know if what you said is true or false?"
"I—" Hong Tao was speechless. She couldn't think of any words to respond for a moment, so she could only turn back anxiously, "Miss, how can you swallow this insult when someone slanders you like this!?"
Zhang Qian snorted with an ambiguous laugh.
"If it was a false accusation, why didn't you clarify or respond after so long?"
Anyone can see that Ye Shixian's reaction is indeed problematic.
The word "guilty" is written all over her face!
"If you are truly wronged, I will clear your name. But if not... you should understand the principle of life for life, right?"
There was a roar in Ye Shixian's ears, she couldn't catch her breath and passed out.
Zhang Qian waved his hand.
"take away!"
…
After a period of chaos, Liuwan Lane finally returned to its peace.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the streets were empty.
But it is easy to imagine that what happened here today will surely spread quickly throughout the capital.
…
Prince Qi's Palace.
The dark cloud that had been hanging over everyone's heads for more than a month finally dissipated, and everyone in the mansion was filled with joy, as if it were New Year's Day.
To them, the lifting of the ban on the Second Prince meant that he had not completely lost the emperor's heart.
After all, His Majesty still loves the extremely talented son born to him by Concubine Ru.
Even Xiao Chengxuan had swept away the gloom of the past and was in a very good mood.
I even drank a few more cups.
Shaking the empty wine jar, Xiao Chengxuan immediately called someone over: "Get some more--"
A slender, white hand stretched out from the side and gently covered the rim of the cup.
"Drinking is harmful to your health. My brother has already drunk enough today. Why don't you stop drinking?"
