Nineteen looked at Yun Chuwei, utterly puzzled: "Miss, you summoned them here because you suspected them, so why did you release them? Could you tell from their faces that they were innocent?"
The young lady carefully examined the faces of the maids for a while, asked a few casual questions, and then dismissed them, which truly shocked him.
Yun Chuwei shook her head slightly: "Face reading cannot confirm their innocence. But it can reveal whether they have recently received any unexpected wealth or misfortune! If they have received unexpected wealth, they may have been bribed. If they have suffered misfortune, it means they are in danger, being threatened, or about to be silenced!"
Nineteen finally understood.
He said, "I see. So, if their faces suggest misfortune or unexpected wealth, it's suspicious. But they don't have those features?"
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, then walked outside.
Upon seeing this, Nineteen immediately followed.
What are we going to do now?
"Go and see your young master!"
-
Yun Chuwei went to the family law hall of the Marquis's mansion and soon met Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng's hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn in several places and stained with blood.
He was shackled on both hands and feet, with the other end of the shackles tied to a pillar.
He sat on the ground, looking completely lost and dejected.
He looked up when he heard footsteps.
Upon seeing that it was Yun Chuwei, he quickly got up and called out somewhat awkwardly, "Little sister! What brings you here?"
Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Zheng and asked, puzzled, "What are you thinking?"
Yun Zheng bit her lip slightly: "Yesterday, you told me not to keep thinking about that dream. Think about what I want to do!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
"So, you're thinking of killing Yun Xian?"
Yun Zheng nodded seriously.
Yun Chuwei was speechless. She wanted him to think about food and fun, not about killing Yun Xian.
Yun Zheng continued, "When I woke up this morning, I couldn't control my thoughts at all. After I ate breakfast, I took action!"
Yun Chuwei had nothing to say.
Nineteen then spoke up, saying, "How can you go alone? With your mediocre skills, who could you possibly kill? You should have asked me to go with you; only then would you have a chance of success!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
She looked at Nineteen and said, "Stop making things worse. Go check your second young master's temples for tiny needle marks."
Upon hearing this, Nineteen immediately went to Yun Zheng, pressed his head down, and began to examine him.
As he looked, he wondered, "The doctor clearly didn't use acupuncture, so why are there tiny needle marks on his temples, behind his ears, and on his forehead?"
The pinhole is so small that it's impossible to notice if you're not paying attention.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei nodded slightly and said, "That's right! There is a kind of witchcraft that can change a person's dreams and control their thoughts through incense, acupuncture, and storytelling."
Yun Zheng and Shi Jiu were both stunned: "There's such a thing?"
Yun Chu sighed softly, "I only heard about it by chance, so I didn't think about it yesterday. I thought about it carefully today, and something felt off. After thinking it over carefully, I remembered it, so I had this guess!"
Nineteen, recalling what the maids had just said, asked, "Could it be related to the Second Miss?"
The maids said that the second young master would appear when he was sleeping.
Could it be...?
"The Second Young Master went to his courtyard while he was asleep to attract the attention of the maid on duty. While she was talking to the maid, someone would take the opportunity to enter the Second Young Master's room and perform this kind of witchcraft on him?" Nineteen asked.
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "That possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Upon hearing this, Nineteen felt utterly perplexed.
"If the Second Miss really did this, what is her motive? Could it be that she wants to use someone else to do her dirty work and get rid of the Marquis?"
Before Yun Chuwei could speak, there was a commotion outside.
Nineteen immediately went out to check.
A moment later, he returned.
He whispered, "Something's wrong! The Crown Prince has arrived with the Ministry of Justice!"
Yun Zheng looked surprised: "Why is the Crown Prince here?"
Yun Chuwei was not surprised.
This kind of witchcraft that uses dreams as a metaphor involves not only acupuncture and incense burning, but most importantly, reading stories to the sleeping person. Her past life's death should only be known to the Crown Prince.
It goes without saying who is behind it all.
Therefore, she was not surprised to see the Crown Prince here.
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Chuwei and quickly said, "I don't think I have any conflict with the Crown Prince. But you... he's probably after you! You'd better leave through the window!"
Before Yun Chuwei could speak, Nineteen said, "I'm afraid it's too late. The Ministry of Justice has already surrounded this place!"
Just as Shijiu finished speaking, Xie Sheng and Yun Lianhua walked in, accompanied by the Minister of Justice.
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Sheng coldly, bowed, and then asked, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Xie Sheng glanced at Yun Chuwei and sneered, "I heard that Yun Zheng intended to kill his father, so I brought people to see for myself."
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "This matter is the Marquis's own affair, and Your Highness need not trouble yourself with it!"
Xie Sheng sneered, "Since Lian'er has already come to me for help, then I will take care of this matter!"
When Yun Lianhua heard that she was mentioned, she covered her face and said, "Sister, Second Brother, Father is seriously injured and is now unconscious due to excessive blood loss. I was so worried that I went to His Highness the Crown Prince for help. You won't blame me, will you?"
Xie Sheng shielded Yun Lianhua behind him and said, "Lianhua, you don't need to explain to them!"
After Xie Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the Minister of Justice and said, "Minister, take Yun Zheng back first and interrogate him thoroughly. The most important thing is to see if he has any accomplices. Lord Yun is the descendant of Prime Minister Yun, and we absolutely cannot let anyone who has harmed Lord Yun go unpunished."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Justice immediately agreed and then ordered his men to step forward and take the person away.
Nineteen drew his sword and stood in front of Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Justice frowned.
"Miss Yun, please ask this guard to move aside!" He looked at Yun Chuwei and said.
Yun Chuwei's icy gaze swept over the Minister of Justice, and she slowly said, "I've already said it! The matter of Yun Zheng unintentionally injuring my father is an internal matter of the Marquis's residence. The Crown Prince and the Ministry of Justice have no need to meddle in this!"
The Minister of Justice spoke with displeasure: "Miss Yun, isn't what you're saying inappropriate? Such a major case, for the Marquis's mansion to try to resolve it privately and protect the murderer, is that really inappropriate?"
Yun Chuwei sneered, "A major case? This is nothing more than an internal squabble within the Marquis's household. There's no need to trouble the Ministry of Justice! If Minister really wants to investigate, wait until my father is dead!"
