After leaving the Yongchengwei yamen, Ning Shu fell into a rare silence, as if she had fallen into some kind of hesitation.
Next to her, She Yan crossed his arms behind his head and glanced at her. He taunted, "Are you anxious or worried? You look so nervous. Are you afraid that your fiancé is involved in this murder case? "
Ning Shu's forehead bulged and she glared at him. This damned child wanted to kill her.
She Yan raised his chin and deliberately stuck out his tongue at her.
Ning Shu finally understood that this brat was purposely taking revenge on her for snatching the chicken. However, she couldn't find the time to deal with him now. She hurriedly looked at Xiahou Qing and saw that his jade-colored face was cold as expected. She hurriedly walked over and explained in a small voice, "I really don't want to find out that this case is related to Tan Shaoqing. However, I don't feel sorry for him. I just feel that it would be a pity."
Xiahou Qing said indifferently, "Just a pity?"
Ning Shu's face was full of sincerity and she looked as if she wanted to swear to the heavens to express her sincerity, "Of course. Your Highness, you know that Tan Shaoqing and I had a misunderstanding. It really is nothing."
This was indeed her selfish thoughts. In her heart, although Tan Siwei looked childish and pure, he was a rare gentleman.
His ambition was not in the imperial court, but because of his status, he had to leave the mountains and rivers he yearned for and was forced to be involved in a complicated furnace that he was not used to. Even so, he had always done his best to do what he was not good at. No matter if it was things or people, he never had any resentment. If such a gentleman were to fall, it would make Ning Shu feel pity.
However, when it came to handling cases, it was never about reason, but cold evidence.
Ning Shu's attitude of being obedient was good. It dispelled the mist on Xiahou Qing's face. He snorted and reluctantly turned the page. However, he was still unhappy about the word "fiancé". However, his pride as the heir of Nanping Prince made him unwilling to show it.
Ning Shu secretly wiped her sweat.
Xiahou Qing said indifferently, "What do you plan to do next?"
Ning Shu organized her thoughts and said, "First, without alerting anyone else, think of a way to find Deputy Zheng and Deputy Xie alone and ask them about Tan ShaoQing's movements on the night of the twelfth of May. Second, if Tan ShaoQing was really the culprit, then what relationship does he have with the Xue family and Xue Hongyi? We need to investigate this as well."
Xiahou Qing nodded. "She Yan, Tian Wen, I'll leave the first task to you. You've been particularly talkative recently. You must be bored to death."
As soon as She Yan finished his prank, he didn't expect that he would be punished. Extreme joy begets sorrow. Hui Mo, who had been eating meat pies obediently next to him, was even more shocked. God had mercy on him, but he didn't say or do anything. It was an unexpected disaster! How could it be like this!!!
Hui Mo, who had no one to complain to, was dragged by She Yan to do the task. Ning Shu, Xiahou Qing, and the others rushed to the Xue family's ancestral grave in the suburbs, which was also the place where Xue Hongyi was buried.
"This is not good, right?" Tian Wen swallowed his saliva and hesitated.
Ning Shu looked at him. "What's wrong with this?"
Tian Wen said, "It's broad daylight. What if we are misunderstood by doing this kind of thing? My family's reputation is going to be ruined … "
Ning Shu's mouth twitched and rolled up her sleeves. "Isn't it just digging a grave? Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you can't do it, I'll do it! "
"I can! Of course I can! All the men in our Nanping Mansion can do it! " Tian Wen straightened his neck and said, "… But I heard that digging up ancestral graves will lead to ghosts and nightmares at night."
Ning Shu said fiercely, "I was worried that no one would tell me the truth of that year. No one. It's not bad if a ghost comes. It doesn't have to wait until night to find me. The sooner the better. It's best if it comes out now. I'll be the happiest. "
Ning Shu's gloomy smile scared Tian Wen. He felt that she was a hundred times more terrible than the dead bodies lying in the ground. Tian Wen quickly took the shovel and said, "Lady Ning, don't laugh like that. I'm scared! Don't come over. I'll start digging the grave now! "
