The Imperial Clan Court was in charge of the affairs of the royal family. The prime minister looked as calm as a mahjong tile and was serious. His face turned gloomy, and his eyes fell on Gu Xijiu like a knife, "Miss Gu, I received a report last night that you had a strange man staying overnight in your courtyard. Someone even saw you going out last night to meet another man and did not return all night …"
Gu Xijiu laughed again, "Sir, you are wrong. Maybe someone was jealous of Gu Xijiu's marriage and the General's residence. That's why he blamed Gu Xijiu. It's not reliable. Moreover, Gu Xijiu's courtyard is deep inside the General's residence. The person who reported it should be someone from outside, right? Even if there was a strange man sneaking in and out of the General's residence, how would he know that he was resting in Gu Xijiu's courtyard? Maybe he was in someone else's courtyard … "
Everyone's expression changed. Even Rong Yan was startled. Only the Eighth Prince, Rong Che, smiled and said, "Miss Gu is right. What do you think, Sir Hu?"
The Imperial Clan Minister, Master Hu, said, "The person who reported it was someone from the General's residence."
Gu Xijiu frowned, "That's strange. Since it was discovered by the people in the General's residence, Since it was someone from the General's residence, why didn't he report it to the General or the General's wife? "
Master Hu snorted, "This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family. The person must be afraid that the General and the General's wife would hide this matter for the sake of the family's reputation."
Gu Xijiu nodded, "Hmm, it sounds reasonable. However, we can't rule out the possibility that someone is purposely trying to defame the General's residence. After all, there's no proof … "
Rong Che waved his folding fan and smiled, "I think what Miss Gu said is reasonable. However, the person's testimony is not reliable."
Rong Yan, who was standing beside him, could not help but look at him. Rong Che patted his shoulder with his folding fan, "Twelfth brother, this matter is indeed suspicious. You wouldn't want your fiancée to do something immoral, would you?"
Rong Yan forced a smile, "How could I? I also hope that Gu Xijiu is innocent. "
Gu Xijiu glanced at Rong Yan. Everything was his evil plan to break off the engagement! Why are you acting innocent now?!
This bastard used a secret letter to trick her out of the General's Mansion. This morning, he purposely came to her courtyard to investigate. He probably thought that she had died at Count Le Hua's place and there was no one in the courtyard. Once his men found any evidence, they would blame her for the death of Gu Xijiu's lover. In that case, no one would investigate the cause of Gu Xijiu's death, and Gu Xijiu would die in vain!
However, it was fortunate that Gu Xijiu, the killer, had obtained this body. She would seek justice for the original owner! Everything that they owed the original owner had to be repaid a hundredfold!
She then looked at Lord Hu. "Do you have any other evidence?"
Master Hu calmly said, "According to the laws of the Feixing Kingdom, with a witness, I can search the house of the suspect!"
"Are you going to search Xijiu's courtyard?"
"That's right! Miss Gu, it's better to let me search you to prove your innocence. "
Gu Xijiu sighed softly, "It seems like this is the only way. However, I have a request. "
