"So you killed your master and your junior sister! Who says that just because you like someone, that person has to like you back? Is it a crime to not like someone?"
Years of pent-up emotions suddenly erupted. Xiang Sizi's shoulders trembled, and he slowly squatted down, crouching on the ground and burying his head in his hands.
Let it all collapse, let everything collapse.
No, everything has already collapsed.
He didn't kill his master and junior sister, but they died because of him. Five years ago, he secretly left, not only because he couldn't take revenge, but also because he couldn't face himself.
After a moment of silence, the Heartless Fruit suddenly pounced on the Love-Sick Seed in a frenzy.
However, Ye Qingxue was prepared. She lashed out with her long whip, wrapping it around Wuqingguo's waist and throwing her violently to the ground. "Lord Zhao, quickly capture this person! Don't let her escape, she is skilled in using poison!"
Zhao Chengping then realized what was happening and quickly led his men forward. As Ye Qingxue released the whip, they twisted her hands and tied her up with rope.
The Heartless Fruit struggled desperately, its eyes like sharp blades, its mouth gathering power as if it contained poison.
Ye Qingxue realized something was wrong. Zhao Chengping and the others had limited knowledge of the Heartless Fruit and were completely unprepared for its potential poisoning.
She simply lashed out with her whip, striking the back of the Heartless Fruit's neck. Before the Heartless Fruit could even spit out the poison, it had already fainted.
Zhao Chengping and the others were startled. They had heard about Ye Qingxue joining forces with the Pan family to capture Wei Jingtong, but they didn't take her seriously, assuming that the Pan family was the one who did the big things and that Ye Qingxue was just trying to gain fame.
Now he truly realized how swift and ruthless Ye Qingxue was. Zhao Chengping even began to suspect that Ye Qingxue was the main force behind the alliance with the Pan family.
Ye Qingxue said, "She is covered in poison, perhaps hidden in her mouth or her hair. Lord Zhao, you must be careful! It would be safer to knock her unconscious and take her back to the Dali Temple for trial!"
Zhao Chengping handed the Heartless Fruit to his men, stood up, and bowed to Ye Qingxue, saying, "Thank you for today's events, Miss Ye!"
He was not only referring to Ye Qingxue's help in obtaining the Heartless Fruit, but also to Ye Qingxue's help in solving the case.
You should know that the two girls died in a very gruesome and horrific manner, which drove their mother insane. There were also many rumors circulating outside, saying that it was the deposed crown prince who did it.
However, they had been searching for the deposed crown prince for more than ten days without any luck, and with this case happening again, the people from the Dali Temple could hardly eat their lunch.
He thought this case would be very difficult, and that he would be tormented for at least ten days or half a month before it would end. He even thought that he would be lectured by the emperor, which would be unbearable.
In less than a day, Ye Qingxue helped him break the curse, how could he not be grateful!
Ye Qingxue said, "Lord Zhao, you are too kind. The case was solved so quickly thanks to everyone's hard work!"
Zhao Chengping bowed again and left with his men. He had expected there to be casualties, but things went surprisingly smoothly.
Ye Qingxue is truly amazing.
Fortunately, the people he brought also helped Ye Qingxue put out the fire, otherwise he would have felt really useless.
Outside the Marquis's residence in the capital city, news has just spread that Ye Qingxue is a madwoman, and that her slander against Prince Ding is invalid.
Everyone was shocked and saddened. How could such a beautiful girl, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family who had previously captured the corrupt official Wei Jingtong and made great contributions, be a madwoman?
What a pity, what a pity!
However, it's probably because she's crazy that she dared to call the people to the Marquis's mansion to watch the show, and dared to embarrass Prince Ding in public.
That's what everyone was thinking.
However, not long after, new news spread throughout the city: the murderer who killed two children in Liujia Village on the outskirts of the city had been found, and it was Ye's eldest daughter who joined forces with Zhao, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, to capture him!
She was the one who solved the case.
She has performed another great service, and the emperor is preparing to reward her.
The madman's rumors will fall apart on their own.
Who would believe that a madman could achieve one feat after another in such a short period of time?
Moreover, the emperor had already summoned her before, and now he wants to bestow a second reward upon her. Does the emperor not know whether the eldest daughter of the Ye family is crazy or not?
"Those who spread the rumor that the eldest daughter of the Ye family is crazy are truly malicious."
"What ulterior motives? It's just to salvage His Highness Prince Ding's reputation."
In this world, there are many slow-witted people, but there are also quite a few perceptive ones who instantly understand the intricacies of the situation. These clear-headed individuals awaken the confused masses.
The Pan family also learned of this matter.
Pan Heng stood by the window for a long time, not even noticing his younger sister, Pan Jing, walking up behind him.
"What is your older brother thinking?"
Pan Jing gently patted his shoulder, her voice soft.
Pan Heng seemed to be dreaming when he blurted out, "I'm thinking, could we propose marriage to the Marquis's mansion? She was rejected by Prince Ding, and he even tried to use General Han to humiliate her and take her life. She's in great danger."
Only after he finished speaking did he realize what he had said.
Pan Jing smiled and said, "So, Big Brother likes Miss Ye? Why don't you talk to Mother and ask her to come and propose marriage?"
Pan Heng's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Pan Jing ran out and said, "I'll go and talk to Mother for you."
Pan Heng was startled and quickly chased after him.
Ningcui Pavilion.
Ye Yabing was both angry and anxious, and her whole body was trembling.
"This is impossible! I don't believe it! Wuqingguo killed someone and got arrested? And it was that bitch Ye Qingxue who brought the government officials here?"
The fact that the Heartless Fruit failed to kill Ye Qingxue angered her.
But right now, there is more fear than anger. If Ruthless Fruit is executed, what will happen to her face?
Ye Yabing couldn't sit still any longer; she was going to find Madam Min.
"My second aunt will definitely be able to give me some advice. She will tell me what to do. I don't want to sit here and wait to die!"
She was stopped by Ye Qingxue halfway there.
