Chapter 228 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

When Song Yuqiuhun heard Xie Zhuoning say the four words "it was already destined", goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body.

She rubbed her arms, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Sister Zhuo Ning, your trick of using someone else's knife to kill someone is too powerful!"

In other words, she had already started planning from the moment she left Yang Lie, right?

Seeing Song Yuqiu's reaction, Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "He is your father after all. I was afraid you would blame me for this."

So when she set up this plan from the beginning, she actually left Song Jian a glimmer of hope.

As long as he did not accept the benefits and care given by Xiao Bicheng, or resolutely gave up the opportunity to marry his daughter into the Duke Zhao's mansion to climb up the social ladder, then although his situation would be more difficult, at least he could save his life.

But he was greedy and insatiable, and wanted more, which brought him disaster.

And Xiao Bicheng specifically chose to kill him when his daughter was getting married, so it must not have been a random choice.

Prince Yong has been very powerful recently, and Xiao Bicheng has to choose a loser to make an example of him to warn those who are secretly planning to betray him.

I'm afraid that when Song Jian was about to die, he suddenly figured out the key points, so he knew that he couldn't escape and everything was over.

Song Yuqiu wiped his nose and snorted coldly, "Humph, he is my father. If I had a choice, I would like to be his father!"

She had only been here for a short time, and she had already been nearly killed several times by this black-hearted couple, not to mention the life the original owner had led in the past.

Having a father like Song Jian is unlucky!

She is not ignorant of right and wrong. Can't she see that Sister Zhuo Ning is seeking revenge for her?

"Besides, wasn't it the prince who ordered the murder? What's your business, Sister Guan Zhuoning?"

Could it be considered a crime for Sister Zhuo Ning to kindly advise her ignorant sister and brother-in-law and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take better care of their good-for-nothing father?

"You said so, right, Wei Zhao Wei Da Ren!"

Looking at Song Yuqiu who was holding the golden needle and looking at him with a smile, Wei Zhao shuddered inexplicably.

When he heard Miss Xie directly infer that the murderer was the prince, he was shocked.

What is even more shocking is that Miss Xie is actually interfering in this matter.

So will he catch him or not?

He was in such a dilemma that he wanted to poke out his ears and wish he had never heard these things!

Otherwise, how would he explain to his grandfather?

But when he met Song Yuqiu's eyes, he felt that he had thought too much. Not to mention that he would have a hard time explaining to their grandfather, he would have a hard time explaining himself here too!

For the sake of his own life, he said decisively: "Miss Song is right. This matter was done by the prince. How could it be related to Miss Xie?"

They investigate cases based on evidence. Is there any evidence that this incident is related to Miss Xie?

no!

Song Yuqiu nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, you are quite smart."

"However, there is still a problem," Jiang Yao pinched his chin, looking stern, "Right now, all of this is just Miss Xie's speculation. There is no evidence to show that it was the prince who did it."

If it was really done by the prince, then this matter would be very difficult to handle.

Xie Zhuoning said slowly, "I went to see the autopsy report of Mr. Jiang Wu, and he had the same arrow wound as the Song couple."

When Master Jiang Wu was ready to fight to the death at the Xie family, he was stabbed in the throat by an archer beside Xiao Bicheng.

But at that time, all her attention was on He Jinyun, so she didn't pay that much attention.

It was not until today when she saw Song Jian and his wife collapsed in front of her and saw that the wounds were very similar to those of Master Jiang Wu that she connected the two together.

So she was very sure, "There should be a master who is very good at using bows and arrows beside Xiao Bicheng, and it should not be a guard of the East Palace, but someone from the Dark Pavilion."

In her previous life, she stayed with Xiao Bicheng for a long time and knew the people around him very well.

Only the Dark Pavilion was the trump card given to Xiao Bicheng by the old emperor. He had always held it tightly in his hand, and even she didn't know the details.

According to the calculation of the time in the previous life, Xiao Bicheng should have already controlled some of the power of the Dark Pavilion.

"What's this about open pavilions and dark pavilions? Why don't I understand?" Song Yuqiu was confused and his mind was in a mess.

Even Wei Zhao couldn't help but look sideways at Xie Zhuoning a few more times, and said in a deep tone, "Miss Xie seems to know the prince very well?"

He even knew such secret things in the secret room!

"Yes, I can't say I understand him anymore," Song Yuqiu racked his brains to find an adjective, "It's just like I've lived with him. I know his personality and every little thing he does very clearly!"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

I have to say, sometimes women’s intuition is so accurate that it’s scary!

She curled her lips and said, "After all, I was the future Crown Princess for such a long time. It's not surprising that I know something about Xiaobi City, right?"

The two nodded, "That's true."

In this way, the case has basically been sorted out very clearly.

However, since it involves the crown prince, Wei Zhao absolutely cannot make this decision.

"This matter is of great importance. It seems that we have to wait until Master comes back before deciding how to deal with it."

Song Yuqiu held her face with her hands and said, "Then His Royal Highness Prince Xuan should be back soon, right? After all, such a big thing happened to the Song family, how can this marriage continue?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, someone from Feiyun Guard came to report -

The people from Duke Zheng's Mansion have already taken Song Yuyao away, and the wedding banquet will be held as usual today!

Upon hearing this news, Song Yuqiu was stunned. "Both her parents are dead, and Song Yuyao still wants to get married?"

At least we should deal with her parents' funeral first!

It's understandable that she doesn't feel any sadness since she has never enjoyed any warmth and affection from Song Jian and his wife. But Song Yuyao was raised by them with love and care, so how could she remain indifferent?

I'm afraid you have a heart of stone, right?

Xie Zhuoning chuckled, not surprised. "Once Song Jian and his wife died, Song Yuyao had no one to rely on. At this time, she couldn't afford to lose the support of the Duke Zheng's Mansion. Besides, with someone to rely on, it would be easier to investigate the cause of her parents' death, right?"

This was a rare moment of Song Yuyao's smartness.

It's a pity that she didn't know that even if she could marry into the Duke of Zheng's mansion smoothly, it would be a futile struggle.

It is certainly impossible for the Duke Zheng's Mansion to cancel the marriage. They are still busy marrying Song Yuyao as a medicine inducer, so how could they give up halfway?

Moreover, marrying Song Yuyao at this time would not only establish an image of trustworthiness for Zheng Guo Kung Fu, but also win the favor of the public because of his deeds of sympathy for the orphan girl.

Both parties had their own purposes and were unwilling to cancel the wedding, so the wedding banquet was naturally held as usual.

Glancing at the sky outside, Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned pale, "It looks like I have to go to Duke Zheng's Mansion again."

When the Duke of Zheng's Mansion held a wedding, the Marquis of Zhenyang's Mansion naturally had to go and offer congratulatory gifts.

"I want to go too!" Song Yuqiu immediately raised his hand with great interest.

She doesn't want to miss the chance to see the excitement!

"You don't have to go." Xie Zhuoning pushed her back to her seat.

Song Yuqiu pouted, "Why?"

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows, "Have you forgotten that you are now the biggest suspect in the murder of Minister Song and his wife? Logically, you should be detained in the Fusi Division at this moment, cooperate with the investigation and clear your suspicion."

Wei Zhao also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right."

If she showed up at Duke Zheng's mansion as if nothing had happened, people would definitely think that they were the ones who were abusing their power and bending the law.

"Okay." Song Yuqiu could only suppress her disappointment and stay.

Seeing that she was acting like a child, Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but smile and shook his head, but soon, the smile disappeared.

Today's wedding banquet is destined to be unpeaceful.

Staying in the company may not be a good thing.
