"Madam, this matter is indeed strange, can you give me a little time, let me find out the truth, I will definitely investigate the matter clearly."

After calming down for a moment, Hotaru said in a consultative tone.

Duchess Guo said coldly: "Do you think we are really so easy to fool? Let me give you a chance, and then let you run away or find a scapegoat? ”

"Mother, please give her a chance, this will definitely not be her to do this." Leaning over and standing behind the Duchess of the Kingdom, Chi Shuguang flatteringly pinched her shoulders.

Touching the most cherished hair of the Duchess herself, how could Chi Shuguang be moved by just a few words, the most important thing is that the Duchess of Guo now feels more and more that the rumors in the capital that are not good for Yingyue are true.

Hotaru Moon is indeed such an unbearable person!

The Duchess grabbed her son's hand, took it away and said indifferently: "You like those warblers and Yanyan on weekdays, I don't care about you, but you shouldn't be so confused and like such a femme fatale, not to mention, she has already married a wife!" ”

"Mother, I just don't think she did it, and her character disdains to do such dirty things that can't be seen."

Seeing that the Duchess of Guo had misunderstood, Chi Shuguang hurriedly cleared up the relationship between the two and spoke out from the most fair perspective.

It's a pity that the Duchess couldn't listen to it at all.

She said, "Okay, don't say it anymore, I've made up my mind." ”

"Madam, even if you suspect me, or if you already believe that I am the murderer, then give me a chance to refute, not to mention, this shampoo alone can't convict me at all, after all, this shampoo has also passed on the hands of several people." Hotaru said reasonably.

The Duchess was angered by her, and saw that she did not change her dead nature: "Something happened to the things you brought, and you can't be completely convicted?" Could it be that you are suspicious of the world? ”

"The prince also touched this shampoo halfway, and he can't escape suspicion."

Hotaru Yue glanced at Chi Shuguang and said word by word.

"You!"

At this time, a maid ran in from outside, and the atmosphere in the hall was scorching, and she hurriedly saluted: "Madam, the Marquis of Yongning has come to visit." ”

The moment she heard Xie Jingyuan coming, Hotaru Yue's nervous heart relaxed slightly.

Duchess Guo looked at Hotaru Yue, and after sensing her emotions, she said, "Do you think he can save you?" ”

"Mother, Mrs. Yue is right, several people who have touched the shampoo are suspicious, and the son naturally can't escape." Chi Shuguang said a little anxiously.

But the Duchess of the Kingdom was still indifferent, and when the maid below led Xie Jingyuan to the front hall, Xie Jingyuan walked straight to her regardless of everyone's eyes.

Originally, the emotions that the two of them were eating because of Chi Shuguang disappeared cleanly, Xie Jingyuan looked at her nervously and said, "Are you okay?" What's going on? ”

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the bald mother kneeling below, and Xie Jingyuan had already guessed six or seven points.

At the same time, in the Hou Mansion.

Taking advantage of the absence of Xie Jingyuan and Yingyue, the Hou Mansion was deprived of its master and guards, and a large group of black-clothed people climbed over the wall and sneaked in.

The figure of the leader was the man in Ning Fengyue's room.

"Kill!"

With his order, the black-clothed people behind him scattered in all directions, all with the same goal, that is, to kill Xiangmei.

As a result, when they infiltrated the dungeon, they were surprised to find that the guards were weak, and there were only two guards.

He laughed contemptuously: "God help me!" ”

Thinking that Xie Jingyuan was stumped by the matter of the Duchess of Guo, this group of black-clothed people did not have any suspicion, directly killed the two guards, and rushed to the dungeon where Xiangmei was imprisoned.

Locked in a dungeon where no light of day, Xiangmei's hair was messy and covered her face, and she fell to the ground with her back to them.

The man took the guard's key and opened the cell door, raised the sword in his hand and said, "Miss Xiangmei, offended!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sword in his hand stabbed straight at Xiangmei.

But the expected screams did not come, and the man strode forward and broke Xiangmei's body, but saw the pale face of another person, and the temperature of his hand reminded him that this person was already dead.

"Oops! Hit the trick! ”

The man reacted instantly, turned around and was just about to escape, but he didn't know when Xie Jingyuan's elite was already covered behind him, Xu Shuo stood in front of him, looking at them with a clear face.

No matter how stupid he is, he has already reacted at this time, this is simply a trap set by Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan had already seen through their plan, and was waiting for them here.

"Run, I see where you can escape."

Xu Shuo waved his hand, and all the guards beside him rushed forward, and in less than a moment, they all took down these people.

Pulling down their masks, Xu Shuo glanced at them, but found them very unfamiliar.

After following Xie Jingyuan for many years, Xu Shuo also learned a bit of ruthlessness when Xie Jingyuan interrogated the prisoners: "Say, who sent you here?" ”

A few people were silent, but the man at the front said, "You don't want to know anything from our mouths." ”

After that, several people bit off the poison hidden under their tongues and committed suicide en masse.

Xu Shuo reacted, but he only had time to grab the nearest man and slash at the back of the man's neck, the man fainted, and he didn't have time to bite through the poison hidden under his tongue.

Withholding the poison from his tongue, Xu Shuo looked at the others who had fallen to the ground and were already cold, and said coldly: "Take care of this person, if there is any more accident, you will be comfortable!" ”

***

In the Taishi Mansion, Xie Jingyuan's arrival made things take a turn for the better.

When he heard that Hotaru had finished saying that Mama had used this shampoo and became bald, he patted Hotaru on the shoulder soothingly.

Duchess Guo looked at this scene, raised her chin lightly and said, "Master Hou won't be the one who wants to protect his own mansion." ”

"The Duchess of the State misunderstood, if the matter was really done by someone in the Hou Mansion, without the help of the Duchess of the State, the Hou would definitely not spare this person easily."

Xie Jingyuan said slowly, meeting the Duchess of Guo's gaze.

Hearing his words, the Duchess felt a little relieved: "That's fine." ”

Sure enough, Xie Jingyuan's reputation in this capital is not false!

"However, what Hotaru said is indeed reasonable, if it is really what she put into this shampoo, then there will definitely be a potion bottle that she left behind in the Hou Mansion that has not been disposed of." Xie Jingyuan said word by word: "From yesterday to before she just went to the Drunken Immortal Tower, she didn't have a chance to dispose of the stolen goods. ”

"What does Master Hou mean?"

Frowning slightly, the Duchess of Guo heard that he had some truth in what he said, but she didn't know what he wanted to do.

"The junior wants to beg the Duchess of Guo to give the junior a chance to find out the truth, if it was really Hotaru Yue's doing, the junior would not let her go so easily."
