A raincoat wind and snow to the small garden

Chapter 29 Snowy Villa (Thirteen)
Chapter

All the audience present understood the whole story.

In order to protect Zheng Sirou, the Fourth Lady abandoned her daughter outside the house for many years. In order to prevent the Zheng family from finding her daughter, she herself rarely contacted her own daughter.

It was not until many years later that the fourth lady thought that everything was calm and took her daughter back home.

But this time it happened that it was the Fourth Master who came to pick up the child. The Fifth Lady who was accompanying him saw a fresh living person and could not help but have murderous intent in her heart, so she killed Zheng Sirou's adoptive parents and threw their bodies into the wilderness.

He has done all kinds of bad things.

Xiang Xiaoyuan is good at solving cases and performing autopsies, but he is not as experienced as Xie Yunxue in matters concerning the homes of wealthy families.

Xie Yunxue is not a one-sided person. He also has the usual cold and hard heart of a superior and will not be fooled by tears.

The young man glanced indifferently at his adoptive brother Wang Qinghao and asked, "Since the Fourth Master of the Zheng Family murdered your parents, why didn't you report the matter to the authorities as soon as you discovered the bodies? Instead, why did you go to such great lengths to infiltrate the Zheng Family and become a slave?"

After hearing this, Wang Qinghao bowed his head. "Your Highness, I went to the government office to report this, but when the officials heard I was accusing Duke Zheng, they didn't dare to offend me and beat me out of the government office. I had no other choice but to sneak into the Zheng family and wait for an opportunity. My sister didn't know the person I wanted to kill was her biological father. She was fooled by me, but out of consideration for our old friendship, she stepped forward to protect me. I truly deserve to die."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Sirou burst into tears. She buried her face in her brother's arms and sobbed softly.

Wang Qinghao sighed, reached out his hand awkwardly, and gently rubbed his sister's hair.

The case is now clear and straightforward.

The fourth master and the fifth lady of the Zheng family teamed up to kill the old couple of the Wang family first. Their son sneaked into the house to avenge his parents and killed Zheng Silang. Although it was a tit-for-tat, it was a serious crime of murder, so Wang Qinghao still had to go to the Ministry of Justice prison.

As for the Fifth Lady, her hands were stained with the blood of countless servants and she was suspected of murdering civilians. Although the evidence was irrefutable, she still had to go through the three judicial procedures. But everyone knew that she was in the hands of the Crown Prince and her life was in danger.

Wu Niangzi was still crying quietly in the snow. Looking at so many warm living people, she felt murderous in her heart, but she was afraid of fire and weapons. She knew she was no match for the soldiers.

She suddenly felt so wronged, and she thought of her brother who was not afraid no matter what she did.

The Fifth Lady hugged her arms, looked up at the snowy night sky, and murmured softly: "Fourth Brother, I'm so cold..."

It may be because the evil spirit was subdued, but the next day, the sky cleared up and the sky was bright and sunny.

The snowstorm that had lingered for days finally stopped, and the frost and snow outside the villa were cleared away. After bidding farewell to Crown Prince Xie Yunxue, the group rode down the mountain without stopping.

Xiang Xiaoyuan followed suit and went to say goodbye to Xie Yunxue first, then said hello to Chu Daofu, and finally went to look for Huaiyu... She didn't find anyone, and after asking Ah Qi, she found out that her senior brother had a mission to complete and left early as soon as he finished it.

Xiang Xiaoyuan muttered, "He didn't even say hello..."

When Lin Qiyu came to find Xiang Xiaoyuan, she was looking up at the sky with a melancholy look on her face.

Lin Qiyu: "What? Are you lamenting the impermanence of life? Well, actually, this case is a bit heavy for me too."

He turned to Xiaoyuan and said, "Ah? I was just wondering, Ejiao hasn't seen me in a few days. Is there anyone feeding him? I don't know if there are enough radishes in the stable. The water is frozen, and he's a bit stupid. He doesn't even know to lick it to melt before drinking. If I don't go back, won't he die of thirst?"

This is her two taels of silver!

Lin Qiyu: “…” He shouldn’t have asked!

Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan became worried again. She hurriedly caught up with a luxurious carriage, shouting as she ran.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wait for me! I'm in a hurry to go down the mountain to look after the donkey. Your carriage is fast, could you give me a ride?"

Xie Yunxue had been browsing through documents in her carriage when, halfway through, she was stopped. The carriage stumbled, and the young man's cinnabar pen accidentally dropped a drop of bright red ink. Xie Yunxue's face darkened, and she didn't want to pay attention to Xiang Xiaoyuan's chatter.

But Fusheng climbed into the carriage as if to seek credit, and asked the Crown Prince with a smile: "Your Highness, I would like to take a ride with the coroner. What do you think..."

"It doesn't make sense." Xie Yunxue refused indifferently.

Fusheng was stunned and could only turn around and walk out of the carriage, saying awkwardly: "Mr. Xiang, His Highness is in a hurry to return to the palace and doesn't want to pick you up. How about next time?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a flexible person, and she nodded immediately: "Okay, then. I won't bother Your Highness."

At this moment, Lin Qiyu, the eye-catching guy, stuck his head out of the carriage and shouted towards Xiaoyuan: "Xiaoyuan, come, get in my carriage, Yanyun is here too!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded.

Before she could climb down from Xie Yunxue's carriage, a hand with elegant finger bones lifted the curtain.

Xie Yunxue raised her eyelids slightly and called her: "Come up."

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned and hesitant.

"Didn't you say you were in a hurry to get down the mountain? What's the delay? Or, were all the things you said just now lies, and were you deliberately deceiving me?" Xie Yunxue's face was unfriendly.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiaoyuan dared not say anything more. Although everyone on Lin Qiyu's side was an acquaintance, the crown prince also wanted her to serve him carefully.

After much thought, Xiang Xiaoyuan politely declined Lin Qiyu's invitation in order to prevent his superiors from giving him trouble in the future: "Next time, I'll take His Highness's car today!"

Lin Qiyu retracted his head in disappointment.

Xiang Xiaoyuan carefully moved into Xie Yunxue's carriage. She originally thought that for an elegant person like Xie Yunxue, the carriage must be filled with incense burners and plum blossoms, and it must be elegant everywhere.

But once she entered the carriage, she realized that the huge carriage was filled with all kinds of documents and memorials, which buried Xie Yunxue.

The pure white snow shone through the rolling curtains of the car window. The young man's thick and long eyelashes were soaked in a layer of white, as if condensed with translucent frost flowers, adding a bit of aloof and cold temperament that kept strangers away.

The crown prince, sitting upright like this, exudes an aura of pressure.

Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to disturb him, but because of the depressing atmosphere in the car, he felt very uncomfortable.

It was not until half an hour had passed that Xie Yunxue finally realized that there was a little girl in the carriage whose words and actions were not delicate.

He paused for a long moment before saying, "There's a snack in the food box next to you. Take whatever you like."

Xiang Xiaoyuan was flattered.

She opened the food box, and the sweet aroma of flower cakes and candied fruits spread out. In the box were jade belt cakes, taro flour dumplings, lotus seed paste buns... Each cake was small and exquisite.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was very greedy. She took a bite of the sweet flower cake, then took out a piece of taro dumpling and handed it to Xie Yunxue.

"Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Xie Yunxue's thoughts were interrupted. He lowered his head and saw the girl's slender little fingers firmly holding a taro ball.

Xie Yunxue didn't say anything. He thought to himself: Xiang Xiaoyuan hasn't changed at all. She still loves to share snacks with her friends like when she was a child.
