Chapter 291: The Princess and the Commander never avoid each other?
Seeing her like this, Wen Xingluo became even more convinced that Ji Yu's death was Pei Lin's doing.
She said "Oh".
Wen Yueyin was unhappy. She turned around and looked at her and said, "Little sister, what's with your attitude? Are you jealous that I'm more capable than you?!"
"No."
Seeing that Wen Xingluo was just concentrating on packing his luggage, Wen Yueyin suddenly felt powerless, as if his fist was hitting cotton.
Just at this moment, Wen Ruyun and Wen Rulei came in aggressively from outside.
Wen Ruyun was the first to speak harshly to Wen Xingluo: "Wen Xingluo, kneel down!"
Wen Xingluo tied up his bag and looked at the two of them.
Wen Rulei's face turned grim. "Xingluo, what's going on between you and Xie Guanlan?! Everyone says you came out of his tent this morning. Did you have sex with him last night?!"
"You have no self-respect." Wen Ruyun criticized coldly, "I'm going to be frank today. The Zhenbei Palace treats us harshly and stingily, so we brothers will definitely not agree to your marriage with Xie Guanlan!"
"I don't need your consent to marry anyone." Wen Xingluo carried the small bag on his back. "Just take care of yourselves and don't cause trouble for mother."
She wanted to go out, but Wen Rulei grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Wen Rulei was furious. "You're a girl, and you keep talking about getting married. How shameless are you?! How come Yue Yin isn't as frivolous as you?!"
Wen Xingluo sneered, "Sister, when you were always calling me Crown Princess, Third Brother didn't come out to reprimand you. Now, I just said the word 'get married' and you're furious. You always said you regretted being so mean to me in your past life, but I can see that you don't have any regrets at all."
"How can it be the same?!"
Wen Rulei was furious. "Your sister is no longer the same as she used to be. She's our benefactor. When Big Brother ascends the throne, it all depends on your sister. And what about you? All you do is hang around those people in the Zhenbei Palace, and you don't know what you're busy doing all day! If you were like your sister, and focused on our brothers' future, why would I scold you?!"
"Yes, little sister," Wen Yueyin echoed softly, holding the golden hairpin, "I will share the glory and disgrace with my three brothers. I will never do anything that turns my elbow outward."
Wen Xingluo laughed out loud, "You guys have quarreled over interests many times in the past, so why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now? It's so hypocritical."
She walked out carrying a small bag.
Wen Rulei snatched her bag away and said, "You are not allowed to leave!"
"Wen Xingluo, you must first write a letter of guarantee, promising that you and Xie Guanlan will never have any contact, and then we will let you go." Wen Ruyun stood nearby, waving a folding fan, pointing with his chin towards a nearby place, "Go, kneel there and write."
Wen Yueyin curled up the corners of her mouth.
During the time she was in Rongcheng, she was severely bullied by Wen Xingluo. Her three brothers all praised Wen Xingluo and belittled her as worthless.
Now that she has finally proven her worth, she can earn her brothers' love again!
She was looking forward to the days returning to the beginning, but Wen Xingluo did not kneel down to write a letter of guarantee as she wished. Instead, he took back her bag.
She said coldly, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll tell everyone that you and Pei Lin murdered Ji Yu! The Dali Temple is investigating the case, and I'm sure they'll be happy to hear this clue."
The three of them were stunned.
Wen Yueyin said in disbelief, "It would be fine if you didn't get involved in our big event, but why did you betray us?! Where in the world can you find a sister like you?!"
"There are no brothers or sisters like you in this world!"
Wen Xingluo said this and rushed out with a cold face.
But he hadn't run far when he bumped into He Yu.
He Yu put his hands behind his back, looking serious, "I have some questions about the Ninth Prince's death, so I would like to have a small chat with the princess."
Wen Xingluo's face was expressionless. "Master He, do you still suspect me of being the murderer? Doesn't the palace maid's testimony last night count?"
"Last night, after leaving the tent, I interrogated the palace maid again." He Yu looked at Wen Xingluo seriously. "I asked her the same question three times, and she repeated the same answer three times without missing a word. I think, unless you are deliberately memorizing it, I'm afraid no one can use the same words and sentences three times when recounting the same thing, right?"
Wen Xingluo finally raised her eyes and looked at him.
As expected of someone who holds the position of Dali Temple Minister at such a young age, He Yu is indeed meticulous.
She curled her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "So? Her testimony is flawed, what does that have to do with me? Forgive my ignorance, but I really don't understand why Master Xiao He would interrogate me."
She glanced around and saw that many people were looking at them curiously.
"I am not a suspect and should not bear the malicious speculation of Master Xiao He. I will take my leave now."
Wen Xingluo turned and left.
He Yu raised his eyebrows.
Ever since this little girl became a princess, she has even become too lazy to perform formalities.
He stared at her back and said, "I heard that the princess stayed in Commander Xie's tent last night."
Wen Xingluo looked back, "What does this have to do with you?"
He Yu said, "When it comes to matters of reputation, don't the Princess and the Commander ever shy away from it? Princess, do you know how many people are talking about you behind your backs? You're a woman, and women are always more vulnerable than men in matters like this. He's older than you, doesn't he understand this?"
Wen Xingluo laughed twice and said, "I'll say it again, Master Xiao He, don't worry about my affairs."
She walked away like a hibiscus petal blown away by the wind.
He Yu frowned.
His many years of experience in solving cases made him intuitively believe that Wen Xingluo was the murderer of Xie Mingrui.
But……
He had strange feelings for the murderer.
He read the books of sages and believed that good and evil will be rewarded.
His father was dismissed from office because of Wei Si, but he still fell in love with Wei Si's daughter.
Everything that happened to the He family seemed like retribution from fate.
Although he was good at solving cases, he had no idea about matters of the heart...
At the foot of the mountain, officials and their families were about to embark on their journey back to Beijing.
Wen Xingluo found her carriage and was about to get in when Xie Xiang rushed out from nowhere and suddenly pushed her down in public with great momentum.
She had been crying all night, her eyes now red and swollen like walnuts, her voice hoarse and fierce, "My brother's body is still warm, and you, a bastard, are enjoying yourself with a man! Wen Xingluo, return my brother's life to me, return my brother's life to me!"
Her face was ferocious and she shook Wen Xingluo hard.
"Let me go!"
Wen Xingluo was forced to wrestle with her, each pulling the other's hair and refusing to let go.
The palace maids wanted to step forward to stop them, but these two were both precious girls, and they were afraid of hurting them and causing trouble, so they could only stand by and worry.
While they were pulling each other, Concubine Zhang suddenly rushed over.
The mother and daughter no longer cared about their dignity and identities, and beat Wen Xingluo together in public.
Wen Xingluo refused to be at a disadvantage and was struggling with them with all her might when suddenly someone grabbed Concubine Zhang from behind and slapped her viciously.
