Chapter 18: Never Have a Lover

"Oh? Where does this begin? Ye Li asked curiously.

"I'm not afraid of Miss Ye's jokes, I'm also a long-time love woman, a dusty woman, who doesn't want to meet a lover to help me get out of the sea of suffering and live an ordinary life, but Dark Xiang once told me that instead of going to a big family to be a concubine and waiting for her husband's mercy every day, it is better to live her comfortable life in Xingyu Building."

Ye Li said: "You also thought about redeeming her?" ”

The corners of Ji Xu's mouth twitched: "I mentioned it when I was happy with the Pomeranians, but wasn't it rejected?" ”

"Maybe people just don't like you, or maybe they'd rather be married to a powerless man and add fragrance to their red sleeves than go to the deep mansion compound to be an aunt's wife?"

"Miss Ye is talking about that Chen Xiucai?" Ji Xu snorted disdainfully, "He's just wishful thinking, Dark Xiang did tell me that once he enters the red dust, he will never have a lover for life." ”

Several people went to Xingyu Building together, at this hour, most of the people in Xingyu Building were resting, but Xiang Qing got up early, and saw Chi Xu coming with them, so he stepped forward to say hello: "Chi Gongzi went to find a sister last year, and he was not satisfied with the waiting, so did he remember the slave family?" ”

Chi Xu angrily dodged Xiang Qing's touch, and suddenly noticed his image: "Go, go, the master is here to investigate the case today." ”

Xiang Qing smiled: "The Jin King and his wife are working together to investigate the case, what are you doing to make a scene?" ”

Ye Li followed Qi Junmo up to the second floor, looking for clues in the dark incense's room, accompanied by Xiao Cui and Lao Bustard. The room is elegantly furnished, like a beautiful boudoir, with several paintings hanging in the room, and the women in the paintings are either playing the piano or dancing.

They then went to the maid Xiaocui's residence, which was a very simple eight-person room. Ye Li observed the furnishings in the room, and his eyes were attracted by the painting scroll under a bed.

"What is this?" Ye Li looked at Xiao Cui, "Can you open it and take a look?" ”

Xiao Cui nodded. The person in this painting and the painting in the dark incense room are both from the same person, the difference is that the person in this painting has only one back.

"Is the painting a dark fragrance girl?"

Xiaocui nodded: "This is what Chen Gongzi painted for the girl, and the girl gave it to me again." ”

Ye Li asked unintentionally, "On the night of the incident, was Miss Dark Fragrance in the room all the time?" ”

"The girl was in the room before the slave went to sleep."

"When you go out in the middle of the night, you must have an appointment with someone, and the person who made an appointment with Dark Fragrance is probably Chen Xiucai." Ye Li pondered, "I didn't seem to hear Chen Xiucai talk about having an appointment with Dark Xiang just now. ”

"Maybe the person the girl asked was not Chen Gongzi."

Hearing this, Ye Li glanced at Xiaocui, saw her dodgy expression, and said, "The girl usually has a good relationship with other sons. ”

Ye Li stepped forward and took Xiao Cui's hand and said with relief: "Don't be afraid, we are just eliminating suspicions one by one." ”

Through this posture, Ye Li carefully saw the wound on the back of her hand, and although it had been covered with thick rouge, the scratches could still be seen.

Ye Li let go of the handmaiden's hand and looked at Qi Junmo: "Lord Wang, arrest someone." ”

Xiao Cui's face changed sharply, and she knelt on the ground with a pop, shouting that she was wronged.

Qi Jun Mo's expression remained unchanged and asked, "If you have nothing to do with this case, why do you lead others to think that the deceased was humiliated to death many times?" ”

Xiaocui: "Slave...... The slave is just guessing. ”
