With Mo Qing roaring, he didn't dare to say anything more and crawled to the backyard.
Gu Yunni had just finished her tea when Master Liu came over with his concubine, looking at the three of them with great curiosity.
"You say you are the prince, but you are the prince? I also say I am the king. My family runs a snack shop and will not attract any big shots. If you have something to say, just tell me. I won't make a fuss about today's offense. If you are just looking for trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
He observed them for a long time and didn't take the three people seriously at all.
After searching his mind for a long time, he never thought about what ability he had to attract the prince?
Mo Qing didn't waste any time and threw the jade pendant out directly.
Although Mr. Liu didn't understand, seeing how valuable it was, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and immediately knelt on the ground.
"I am blind and don't know why His Royal Highness has come here in person."
The concubine behind her was originally very arrogant, but when she saw her master kneeling down, she also knelt down quickly.
He quietly looked up at Sheng Mingyu, his eyes full of vigilance.
"I heard that you married the daughter of a butcher as a concubine. Could you please bring her here? This prince has something to ask her."
His face was cold. When Mr. Liu heard this, he was immediately surprised and pushed the woman behind him forward.
"She's the butcher's daughter. I wonder if she's offended His Royal Highness. I've always disliked butchers, and I wanted her to distance herself from the family. But is she trying to contact them again without telling me? Your Highness, please tell me and I'll teach her a lesson."
The concubine was terrified, her face pale, and she knelt at Sheng Mingyu's feet, trembling, with her eyes hidden in the dark, showing ambiguous meanings.
"I wonder what the Crown Prince wants to talk to me about? I haven't been in touch with my father, and I haven't returned home. If something happened at home, it has nothing to do with me. I beg Your Highness to understand. I know nothing."
Her voice was trembling. Sheng Mingyu raised his eyebrows and laughed inexplicably.
"I haven't even explained what happened yet, and you're already trying to distance yourself from the matter, claiming you've had no contact with your family. Tell me the truth. What did you and your father talk about? Who did you meet at the brothel? Which patron did you have the best relationship with?"
Sheng Mingyu was not polite. Ever since he saw the concubine's expression, he didn't think she was a good person.
Even if it would destroy the relationship between the wife and the husband, he doesn't know how to restrain himself and keep a low profile.
"Don't be nervous. We're here to ask you something. Your father suddenly died on the road today. Was he murdered, his face disfigured, or was he identified through physical features? We'd like to know if he had any enemies."
Gu Yunni spoke calmly as she recounted the whole story.
Mr. Liu was surprised and tried hard to suppress his emotions without saying a word.
The concubine's facial expression is even more exciting. First she looks indifferent, then she looks shocked, and it is very much a performance.
Gu Yunni could tell something was wrong at first glance, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart.
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't remember? How about we go to the prison and talk? It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, and many punishments in the prison haven't been used for a long time." Sheng Mingyu had a sneer on his lips, and the threat was obvious.
The concubine's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and Master Liu was so frightened that he kicked her.
"I don't care what your life was like before, just tell me the truth. You're still hiding something when His Highness asks you, who gave you the guts to do that? If you don't tell me the truth, don't blame me for sending you back to the brothel!"
"No, no, no! Master, I was wrong. Please don't send me back. I will tell you everything I know. I will not hide anything."
Master Liu's shout brought her back to her senses, and she sobbed and told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Father and I haven't had much contact. Ever since he found out I was redeemed by Master Liu, he's felt sorry for me and has been sending pork here all day. I've also sent some silver in return. I don't know why he died, so I'm begging you gentlemen to help him."
Only at this moment did she burst into tears.
Gu Yunni curled her lips indifferently and didn't take her seriously at all.
"Are you really taking me for a fool? You didn't show any emotion when your father died, but now you're crying just to win your favor! Do you even have your father in your heart?!"
She exposed the concubine's lie. The concubine was stunned for a moment and then began to explain.
"Young lady, you really misunderstood. Of course I feel sorry for my father, but he sold me into a brothel, and I have my own complaints. But what does it matter if he's dead? Young lady, do you really have to trouble me about these things? If you say so, I have no way to defend myself."
She spoke loudly, her face full of grievance, as if Gu Yunni had bullied her.
Several people felt a chill, and Master Liu walked forward and slapped the concubine.
"I was wondering why the pork from these mansions was sent in like it was free. It turns out it was given by your father. Didn't I tell you not to have any contact with your family? And you even dared to secretly send my money away. Are you tired of living?"
"Master, I am wronged. I only gave you a sum of money to repay your kindness in raising me, and we have never been in touch since."
A family drama was played out in front of them. Gu Yunni was annoyed watching it, and Mo Qing quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Alright! Wait until His Royal Highness leaves before making a fuss. His Royal Highness has something to ask you, but you're changing the subject. Do you have something to hide?"
"No! Your Highness, please ask first. I will educate this little bitch after she confesses everything." Master Liu waved his hands quickly and looked at the concubine with hatred in his eyes.
If this incident brings harm to their family, he will make her pay with her life.
"You'd better tell the truth. I don't have the patience to waste time with you. If you hide anything, I will immediately send you to prison. This matter has already been brought to His Majesty, so I will give you an explanation."
Gu Yunni's tone was cold and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The concubine just kept crying and refused to say a word.
Sheng Mingyu was about to have someone arrest her when Shangguan An came in from outside.
"Are you sure this woman did it? Why not try using the Truth Talisman? No need to see bloodshed, and no need to waste time. What's the point of you just sitting here listening to her sob?"
Shangguan An's sudden appearance startled the three of them. Sheng Mingyu frowned and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to leave the house easily? It's inconvenient for you to show up, or it's about the people. This prince has made the decision in his heart, and there is no need for you to interfere."
"You haven't been home all day, so what's wrong with me coming out to take a look? I know you're wary of me, but I came here today to give you some advice. I have no other bad intentions."
