Jing Shengzhu's legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.
She lowered her head, afraid that Jing Shengqiao would notice something.
But Jing Shengqiao said, "I heard what you said to Sister Qingran."
My heart skipped a beat.
Jing Shengzhu didn't know where to start, so he just stood there blankly.
"Sister, you don't actually have to give her all your money."
"But...she doesn't want to?" A look of helplessness flashed across Jing Shengzhu's face.
Jing Shengqiao walked closer and placed one hand on Jing Shengzhu's shoulder: "She is my aunt's master and also from our general's mansion."
Jing Shengzhu suddenly understood.
Yes, this guy from another world is my aunt’s master.
She has every reason to do her part to ensure her aunt's safety!
"Forget it, I'm stupid. Big brother, Zhu'er didn't lose my aunt on purpose." She pulled Jing Shengqiao's sleeve sadly, "Can you please not tell my uncle and the others about this?"
"Brother understands."
Jing Shengqiao walked into the room and sat down with a serious expression.
Before coming to his sister, he went to see his cousin.
Jing Shenghan was in the dungeon, interrogating Chu Fu.
When he went there, he found Chu Fu covered in wounds.
But Chu Fu was smart and he cleared himself of the matter in just a few words.
Even the scope of people who poisoned others was expanded.
"You mean, the one who poisoned her was the maid Xiang'er?"
Chu Fu said seriously, "Shenghan, I never said that. It's just... I'm delivering the jade hairpin to Miss Jing. I don't know if I might encounter someone who might poison me on the way!"
The implication is that based solely on Jing Shengzhu's one-sided statement, he was concluded to be the murderer.
He refused.
Probably every word made sense. My cousin couldn't determine that Chu Fu was the murderer. After all, if he had wanted to kill Chu Fu in the first place, he wouldn't have interrogated him for so long.
Jing Shengqiao thought at the time that his cousin was pretending.
He still hasn't figured out what to do specifically.
Jing Shengzhu's heart was beating fast.
After all... I asked Mu Qingran to go find my aunt, so my elder brother had no reason to confess.
Jing Shengqiao clenched his fingers on the table, his eyes slowly raised: "Sister, you must be very curious, why didn't big brother blame you for asking Mu Qingran to help find little aunt?"
It touched Jing Shengzhu's heart.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, do you know that Chu Fu is a spy hiding beside your cousin?"
After these words were spoken, Jing Shengqiao suddenly looked up and stared at his sister in front of him.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
"We were born from the same mother, so we have a tacit understanding." Jing Shengqiao smiled brightly.
He held Jing Shengzhu's hand and said, "Brother will tell you a secret. After you hear it, no matter if you are surprised or shocked, don't get too excited."
Jing Shengzhu sat beside him obediently: "Brother, you say."
“Brother…”
Jing Shengqiao thought about it again and again, and told his younger sister that he could hear his aunt's thoughts.
It will definitely not be worse than telling my cousin.
Jing Shengzhu was getting a little impatient. "Brother, what secret do you want to tell Zhu'er? Come on, tell me."
"Brother..." Jing Shengqiao's veins on the back of his hand were clenched, "Brother touched my aunt and heard her say that Chu Fu caused you to go crazy and drown in the river."
Jing Shengzhu opened his mouth with a stunned expression.
His hands were also shaking silently.
"Sister, I know it sounds a bit shocking, but everything I said is true. I didn't lie to you, nor did I..."
Jing Shengzhu raised his hand and covered the back of his brother's hand: "I know."
"What?"
Jing Shengqiao was surprised.
"I actually... also heard what my aunt was saying." Jing Shengzhu grabbed Jing Shengqiao's hand and said firmly, "Brother, I actually poisoned Yuzhi myself. I just wanted to warn my cousin."
"I see."
This was what Jing Shengqiao had guessed before.
He looked at Jing Shengzhu intently, "Zhu'er, tell me, your cousin usually has such a good relationship with Chu Fu, but he suddenly tortured him, is that..."
Jing Shengzhu rested his chin on his finger: "So what you mean is that my cousin can probably hear my aunt's thoughts?"
"Brother, you're not sure." Jing Shengqiao looked panicked, "But I don't dare to ask..."
"I'll ask for my brother." Jing Shengzhu said confidently.
"What if he can't hear me?" Jing Shengqiao's eyes slowly fell on Jing Shengzhu's face. "Then what do you say?"
"If you can't hear it, then you can't hear it." Jing Shengzhu pursed her lips. "Why think so much? My cousin is not an outsider."
Jing Shengqiao pressed his temple with one hand, "Sister, you really are... simple-minded. If it were so easy, why would I have been worried for so long?"
"But how can I find out the truth if I don't ask my cousin?" Jing Shengzhu said simply, "Besides, if my cousin tortured Chu Fu because of me, it means there's something wrong with his attitude towards Chu Fu."
"Then... let's try it."
"Um."
"But you have to do what Big Brother says."
Jing Shengzhu knew that his elder brother was smart, so he didn't object: "Okay."
Dungeon.
Jing Shengzhu took the jade hairpin and went to settle the score with Chu Fu.
Chu Fu looked at her with a sad face: "Miss Jing, do you have any evidence to prove that it was Chu Fu who poisoned her?"
Jing Shengzhu retorted: "If it's not you, who else could it be? After all, it was you who gave it to me."
"Xiang'er was the one who took over the jade hairpin. Isn't it possible that she poisoned it?"
"Xiang'er is my personal maid, how could she harm me, you really are..." Jing Shengzhu waved his hand and saw a sarcastic smile on Chu Fu's lips.
