Introducing Herself
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me …"
Ji Muqing panicked for the first time. She shook her head vigorously, ignoring her messy clothes and hairstyle.
Her face was deathly pale.
He looked at the corpse lying on the ground with its eyes wide open in disbelief.
She took a few steps back and bumped into Ji Wanxin. She turned around and pulled Ji Wanxin, "Wanxin, did you see that? It wasn't me. She fell on her own. It was her. "
"Big Sister, I … I didn't see it!"
The two were fighting fiercely, and the place was crowded with people. The crowd saw that one of them had fallen and hit her head on a silver hairpin.
Dead!
Ji Muqing's face twitched, "It really wasn't me."
"Big Sister, don't worry."
"How can I not worry? A life has been lost. "
Her eyes glistened with tears.
You also know that a life has been lost. Serves you right for being so arrogant.
Suddenly —
A little girl rushed out of the crowd, holding some things in her hands. Seeing this scene, the things in her hands all fell to the ground, and she dashed towards the corpse.
She cried, "Miss, what happened to you? Miss? "
She shouted with all her might, shaking the corpse with both hands.
His fingers trembled as he probed the tip of the corpse's nose. He was no longer breathing.
At that moment, the little girl sat down on the ground.
She was terrified.
"Dead … dead?"
She was stunned for a moment, then started crying again. She looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Why did my sister become like this? Why?"
The shopkeeper was also frightened.
She pointed in Ji Muqing's direction and said, "Miss Liang got into an argument with this young lady, and this young lady … pushed Miss Liang."
"It wasn't me!"
Ji Muqing denied immediately.
The little girl hugged her sister's corpse and looked at Ji Muqing, choking, "How did my sister offend you? Why did you do this?"
"I …"
At this time, the crowd suddenly became restless. A few government officials rushed out and surrounded the shop in an instant.
"Make way …"
The crowd was dispersed to the side.
The leader looked at the corpse on the ground and asked in a hoarse voice, "Someone reported to the authorities that someone died here. Who killed him?"
With tears streaming down her cheeks, the maidservant raised her hand and pointed fiercely at Ji Muqing. "It was her! She killed my young miss!"
He gritted his teeth!
The official narrowed his eyes at the disheveled Ji Muqing. He waved his hand and ordered a few minor officials, "Take her away."
After receiving the order, a few officials came forward to drag him away.
Ji Muqing took the opportunity to push Ji Wanxin forward and hide behind her. She shouted angrily and fearfully.
"I didn't kill her. I didn't push her."
Ji Wanxin hurriedly added, "Dear officers, my sister would never kill anyone. There must be a misunderstanding."
Her tone was gentle!
How pitiful!
The official's heart softened and he almost fell into this gentle and tender land.
Fortunately —
The leader of the group had a hard heart.
He scolded. "So much nonsense? Take him away! "
Ji Muqing retorted, "Impudent! Don't you know who I am? I am the younger sister of War Secretary Ji and General Changlin. If you dare to arrest me, my big brother will not let you off. "
She finally couldn't help but reveal her identity.
The officials were stunned and looked at each other in dismay.
Both War Secretary Ji and the Changlin General knew that all officials in the capital had to give face to each other.
After all, they held military power!
Ji Yunshu, who was outside, felt a headache coming on.
'Is this woman an idiot?'
The day of the Crown Prince's consort selection was approaching. If people knew that she was the Ji family's first daughter and that her hands were stained with blood, even if she didn't kill anyone, she would lose the title of Crown Prince's consort.
She sighed and shook her head.
In the end, she had to do it herself.
He let go of Wei Yi and walked into the shop. "Miss, it's still broad daylight. How can you speak so carelessly?" he asked.
Huh?
Ji Muqing and Ji Wanxin were shocked when they saw Ji Yunshu.
This was especially true for Ji Muqing. Her eyes were brimming with killing intent, masking the panic in her heart.
"You …"
She clenched her fists in anger.
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Ji Yunshu.
"What about you? She is the younger sister of War Secretary Ji and General Changlin. She is famous for being gentle, refined, and modest. How could she be a barbaric woman like you? Besides, a few months ago, I met that girl from the Ji family. She is as beautiful as a flower, unlike you. "
Ji Yunshu seemed to be cleaning up the mess for her.
In fact, every word came from the bottom of her heart!
When Ji Muqing heard her words, she didn't know whether they were praising her or belittling her. Ji Wanxin, on the other hand, was still rational. She secretly tugged on Ji Yunshu's sleeve, hinting her not to cause trouble.
The officials were from the capital's magistrate, so they naturally recognized Ji Yunshu.
The leader of the officials stepped forward and cupped his hands. "So it's Teacher Ji!" He sighed in relief. "If you didn't say it, I would have thought that she was War Secretary Ji and General Ji's younger sister."
"Of course not. War Secretary Ji's younger sister would never do such a thing."
"Of course."
She walked to Ji Muqing and Ji Wanxin's side and whispered, "This is the capital, not Jinjiang. If you want to be safe and sound, don't use your big brother as a cover. You don't want to implicate them. After all, there are many people here. Don't cause unnecessary trouble. If you close the door and try to establish a relationship, it will be easier."
"…"
Ji Muqing bit her lip, unable to say anything.
Ji Wanxin, on the other hand, softly called out, "Yunshu."
The next moment, Ji Muqing tugged on Ji Yunshu's sleeve to warn her not to forget what she said in the carriage.
Ji Yunshu naturally saw this small action, but she wasn't angry. She turned around and crouched down next to the corpse.
'The lass is still crying!'
Ji Yunshu looked around, then looked at the soles of the corpse's shoes. There was a new layer of friction at the heel of the shoes, and on the ground in front of the feet, there was a slippery mark.
The preliminary results showed that the corpse was indeed pushed back by someone. His feet slipped forward, and his body fell backwards. His head hit the silver hairpin that had fallen, and he died on the spot.
'Could it be …'
'Did Ji Muqing really push her when they were entangled?'
After thinking for a while, the official came over and asked, "Teacher Ji, how is it?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head.
"Preliminary results show that he was indeed pushed by a palm. After he fell, the hairpin pierced his head and he died."
"So, there's no mistake?"
Ji Yunshu didn't answer.
As for the girl who had been crying, she raised her hand and pointed at Ji Muqing agitatedly.
"My family's young miss is the daughter of Lord Liang of the Imperial Clan Temple. You will pay with your life!"
