Chapter 252: A Different She
A smile bloomed on the petite girl's lips, her eyes were so bright and dazzling that even the moon in the sky lost its color.
Xiao Zhenting couldn't take his eyes off for a while.
"Why don't you use the sons and daughters of the family?" The girl cried coquettishly, "The folk girl heard that there are many people in the family who are both civil and military, such as the folk girl and the younger brother, and then the third son, all of whom are good at fists and feet." Adults don't have enough manpower, so why not hand over the female dependents to the protection of each family? Or temporarily move the female dependents to one place. Anyway, at the latest, tomorrow morning, someone from the government will come. Tonight is a one-night getaway, and no one will complain. ā
It's a simple plan that anyone can figure out.
But at this time, when everyone is in danger, not everyone is willing to come and tell them. Most people close the doors and block the windows, like Yu Xueying, who came to tell each other, it is really difficult to tell each other.
What's more, she is still a delicate daughter's family.
Xiao Zhenting glanced at the beautiful woman again, is it her sister? It's really beautiful. But beauty is beautiful, but not as smart as her.
"Okay," he nodded, "I remember, Miss Yu, please go back, I still have to discuss this matter with the eldest princess, the princess and the princes." ā
Yu Xueying gave a salute, and returned to her sister with small steps, the two of them walked arrogantly, although they walked fast, but the skirt was not messy, and the forbidden steps were dingdong, which was clearly a group of ladies and actresses. Xiao Zhenting heard the girl's low and excited exclamation, and the playfulness of the daughter's family came to her face in this coquettish voice.
Xiao Zhenting shook his head and smiled, and when he turned around, he saw the man standing under a peach tree, with his skirt spread out, full of falling flowers.
"Lord Weng." Xiao Zhenting saluted lightly, turned around and went in the direction of the Yu sisters.
"Lord Wei Weiqing stays."
The beauty stepped forward quickly, bringing a burst of fragrant wind, and Xiao Zhenting almost couldn't help but embrace the beauty.
He hurriedly took a few steps back, and when he saw the sorrow in Ruan Jiayi's eyes, he felt that he was too careful.
She is married, he has let go, but it is just a place to talk, and what is there to twist.
"What's the matter with Lord Weng?"
Ruan Jiayi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Can't you talk to Lord Wei Weiqing if you're fine?" ā
Xiao Zhenting was stunned.
Nguyen soon realized that she had said the wrong thing. She is married to the eldest prince, and it is inappropriate to talk to Xiao Zhenting like this.
"Do you have a clue about the killer?"
Nguyen quickly changed the subject.
Xiao Zhenting also relaxed a lot: "I don't have a clue yet." Can the lord give me some pointers? ā
Ruan Jiayi is very smart, and Xiao Zhenting even feels that Ruan Jiayi's intelligence is not under Xiao Yuan's goodness, but she was not born in the Xiao family.
Perhaps, Ruan Jiayi can really find clues to these two homicides.
"My lord, I actually have a word, but it's just a little vulgar and shallow, don't laugh at me when you hear it."
Really!
Xiao Zhenting even felt a lot lighter around him.
She was really different from other women. He wasn't wrong.
Xiao Zhenting took a deep breath and tried to restrain his excitement, he was afraid that he would be too excited and would scare Ruan Jiayi away: "Lord Weng, please speak." ā
"My lord, I just asked the two palace people who found the bodies of the eldest princess and Jiyue, and specially asked the eldest prince, and they all said that the bodies of the eldest princess of Jingyang and Jiyue had just died when they were killed. And the body of the eldest princess of Jingyang was discovered first, and she didn't have an inch on her body when she died......"
Ruan Jiayi's face flushed, after all, the eldest princess of Jingyang was really undignified when she died, and it was normal for her to blush when she said this. Xiao Zhenting also understands.
Ruan Jiayi blushed and continued: "After a while, someone found out that Jiyue had hanged himself. The eldest princess of Qiyang suspected that the person was killed by the tenth princess, and at that time I felt that something was wrong. The tenth princess is so young, how can she kill someone? My lord, I wonder if this Jiyue had a quarrel with the eldest princess of Jingyang, and killed the eldest princess of Jingyang by mistake, and then panicked and scared, and was desperate before hanging herself. ā
Ruan Jiayi said while secretly looking at Xiao Zhenting.
Since last year, this is the first time she has said so many things to Xiao Zhenting.
The last time I walked side by side with Xiao Zhenting, I went to the temple in autumn to pray for my grandfather. At that time, Xiao Zhenting did not have a green beard on her chin, and she had never combed the woman's head. She walked briskly in front with her head down, and Xiao Zhenting followed unhurriedly behind, chanting some sour poems at the same time.
Ruan Jiayi is not a grass and tree, how can she not be moved when she meets such an infatuated lover with good looks, character, and family background?
At that time, she thought that if Xiao Zhenting insisted on it for another half a year, she would let go.
But before the half-year deadline arrived, she was given a marriage to the eldest son.
Until now, Ruan Jiayi doesn't know whether marrying the eldest prince is good or bad. At that time, what my uncle said was so reasonable, and the eldest prince was in the limelight, if she didn't marry him, the Anguo Mansion would definitely be hated by the eldest prince.
She is the daughter of the Ruan family, and she can't add glory to the Ruan family, but she can't cause trouble for the family. Marrying the eldest prince was the most correct choice she could make at that time.
But who would have thought that the eldest prince would lose the favor of the king. And the picture of the couple and Naruto in her imagination only lasted for two or three months.
Today, thinking about this marriage again, Ruan Jiayi can only smile bitterly.
If she had married Xiao Zhenting at the beginning, would life have been different?
Xu is Ruan Jiayi's eyes were too warm, and Xiao Zhenting felt a little uncomfortable.
He coughed lightly, turned his face away, and stared at a peach blossom that had failed: "How can Lord Weng be sure that Jiyue is hanging himself?" ā
Ruan Jiayi said eagerly: "I don't understand what the adults are saying. The palace people who found Jiyue's body all told me that Jiyue was hanging himself. ā
This eagerness made Xiao Zhenting's brows frown.
Does she have a good relationship with the eldest princess of Jingyang? Why do you care so much about this case?
"Lord Weng, I've seen Jiyue's corpse. Judging from the strangulation marks around his neck, he did not hang himself. ā
Ruan Jiayi lost her voice and said, "How is this possible? ā
A strange thought rose in Xiao Zhenting's heart.
He stared at Ruan Jiayi for a long time, the latter's face gradually turned from red to white, and his breathing became short: "Why are you looking at me like this?" This look is strange. ā
A silver armor guard came over and whispered a few words in Xiao Zhenting's ear, Xiao Zhenting waved his hand, and the silver armor guard walked quickly to the foot of the mountain.
"Lord Weng," Xiao Zhenting hugged his fists, "I still have something." The wind is strong on the mountain, so the owner of the Weng should go back to the room to rest. Close the doors and windows at night and don't go out if you have nothing to do. ā
"What's the matter, my lord, so urgent?"
Ruan Jiayi almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand. She can't let Xiao Zhenting go, Ruan Jiayi always has a hunch that she has to keep Xiao Zhenting, otherwise something will definitely happen.
"What the hell is going on with the lord? Why is there so much concern about the murderer in this case? ā
Xiao Zhenting has always been business-oriented, not to mention that Ruan Jiayi has married another woman, even if it is his wife, he doesn't like to procrastinate.
"My lord, IāI may know who the murderer is."
