Chapter 24 Unbearable



After Chi Li and Jiang Xuan left, Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi. The girl's eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were full of him, which made his heart beat irregularly for a moment.

The girl's serious and firm soft voice seemed to echo in my ears again.

"I have already decided on him. He is a very good man and my future husband."

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, the coldness on his face disappeared, and he turned into the gentle and jade-like Prince Wu'an again.

Jiang Shi asked gently, "Miss Yu, are you good friends with Master Chi's cousin?"

Yu Tanqi nodded slightly: "Yes, she is my best friend in Chenjun besides my cousins."

Jiang Shi said casually, "No wonder, Miss Jiang's clothes and appearance are very similar to yours. If you didn't know, you would think you were sisters."

Yu Tanqi paused. "Sister Jiang Xuan and I do have very similar preferences. Many people say we're like real sisters."

Jiang Shi said: "But you look better in green clothes, but it doesn't suit Miss Jiang very well."

Yu Tanqi nodded, then said helplessly: "I also think she is more suitable for brightly colored clothes, but she said she likes cyan clothes very much."

"She seems to be deliberately imitating you." Jiang Shi said.

"How could that be?" Yu Tanqi pretended not to know, looking innocent and ignorant. "What do I have to learn? Sister Jiang Xuan is as good-looking and knowledgeable as me, and she's more outgoing than me. Many people like her."

Before Jiang Shi came to Chenjun, he had read the information about Yu Tanqi from childhood to adulthood. She came to the Xie family in Chenjun at the age of eleven and was taught personally by the old lady Xie. Apart from hanging out with her brothers and sisters in the Xie family, she almost never went out.

Chi Li studied at the Xie family's academy and was good friends with Xie Jing. Therefore, he often came to the Xie family and met the eleven-year-old Yu Tanqi. Later, he often came to the Xie family under the pretext of discussing books with Xie Jing.

Jiang Xuan is Chi Li's cousin. She has liked chasing after him since she was a child. After coming to the Xie family and meeting Yu Tanqi, the girl who originally liked to wear red clothes and had a flamboyant personality actually started to wear green clothes and her personality became quieter.

Danqing said that if people who don't look carefully, and are not familiar with Yu Tanqi and Jiang Xuan, they might mistake them for real sisters.

Jiang Shi saw it with his own eyes today and realized that Danqing was indeed right.

When Jiang Xuan put on makeup, she looked somewhat similar to Yu Tanqi, but not as delicate and pretty as her.

It's just an ugly imitation.

Such a person imitates Yu Tanqi in every way. Some time ago, he deliberately invited her to the Chi Mansion and bribed the servants to kill her. He is very scheming and disgusting.

Jiang Shi had asked Danqing to collect evidence that Jiang Xuan bribed servants to kill Yu Tanqi a long time ago, but he didn't bring it out early because he didn't want to arouse suspicion.

Jiang Shi said with a hint of meaning: "Miss Jiang seems to like Mr. Chi very much, and Mr. Chi likes you."

Yu Tanqi quickly said, "Master Chi and I only have a brother-sister relationship, and we rarely spend time together alone. I didn't realize he had such feelings for me before, and I will be careful to keep my distance from him in the future."

She looked at him nervously, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand her.

Jiang Shi smiled and said softly, "I know."

Thinking that in the eyes of the girl, she thought he was a good person even though she had just met him, let alone Jiang Xuan, whom she had known for many years.

She was too naive, and he couldn't bear to say it out loud.

Anyone would be horrified to know that a close friend of many years is imitating them in every way and even wants to kill them and take their place.

That's all.

Jiang Shi sighed secretly.

"We should go back too."

"good."

When Old Lady Xie saw the evidence Jiang Shi handed over, a chill ran down her spine. She asked in disbelief, "Are these all true?"

Jiang Shi nodded: "Anything done will leave traces. The murderer seems to have nothing to do with Jiang Xuan. The two have never met or spoken to each other, but the murder and the silencing of witnesses were all ordered by Jiang Xuan, and the people under her were responsible for carrying out the crime.

I have already had these two people under Jiang Xuan captured. Old Madam can have them interrogated."

Old Madam Xie gave the nanny beside her a look, and the nanny understood and bowed and left the room.

Old Madam Xie clenched the evidence in her hand. She never imagined that the mastermind behind the murder of her granddaughter was Jiang Xuan, Chi Li's cousin!

"Jiang Xuan is Chi Li's cousin. I thought she was a gentle and well-behaved girl like Tan Qi. But she is so vicious. How did Tan Qi offend her?"

The old man loves his daughter Xie Lin's only child, Tan Qi, very much. He also has a good impression of Jiang Xuan, who often comes to Xie's house, and thinks she is a good girl who knows the big picture.

Who would have thought that this was actually a two-faced, vicious woman who appeared to be very caring towards Yu Tanqi, but actually hired someone to kill someone. She was so evil!

When Mrs. Xie saw the witnesses and evidence, she remembered some things that she had ignored in the past.

Jiang Xuan has been imitating Tan Qi's dressing style in recent years, and everyone thought it was a manifestation of their feelings. Now it seems that Jiang Xuan's psychology has long been distorted, and her real purpose is probably to replace her.

Old Madam Xie quickly thought of Chi Li. She had watched this boy grow up. He had a good temper and obviously liked Tan Qi. He was the ideal fiancé she wanted to find for Tan Qi.

It seems that Jiang Xuan is jealous of Chi Li's love for Tan Qi, and everything she does has traces to follow, which makes people shudder.

"A little girl, yet she is so scheming."

Old Madam Xie had already believed that Jiang Xuan was the mastermind behind this. While she was extremely angry, she was also calmly thinking about how to punish her.

Killing someone means paying with one's life. Old Madam Xie couldn't imagine that if Jiang Xuan really succeeded, Tan Qi would be gone, and she would have to cry to death again.

She looked at Jiang Shi, her old eyes deep and profound: "Prince Jiang, if Jiang Xuan is really the mastermind behind this, then you are my benefactor."

Jiang Shi said in panic, "Old Madam, you are too serious. Miss Yu is my fiancée. It is my responsibility to find the mastermind behind her murder."

Madam Xie smiled bitterly and shook her head, then suddenly said, "I originally didn't want Tan Qi to fulfill the engagement. In my opinion, you're not a very good candidate for a husband."

Jiang Shi lowered his head and said nothing.

"I gave birth to four daughters, but only one survived, Tan Qi's mother. It's all my fault. Tan Qi's mother was born in poor health, and Tan Qi was also born with a weak body."

There were tears in Mrs. Xie's eyes.

"In fact, I also know that you were taught by Old Madam Jiang herself, your father was the unrivaled Marquis of Wu'an, and your mother also came from an aristocratic family. How could you really be as mediocre and incompetent as the rumors say?

I know it's not easy for you to endure until now, but you will definitely get what you want in the future and support the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

But I don't want to experience the pain of seeing someone die young again. If Tan Qi marries you, she will be in danger. How can I trust her to you?
