She originally thought that Niinu was just a minor character who was implicated in this case. She didn't expect that the more she understood, the more she felt that Niinu was a mystery.
On the table in front of Xiahou Qing was a Jade Pot of Spring (Note 1). Inside the bottle was a peach. Ning Shu stretched out her finger and lightly touched the center of the petal, which looked like a butterfly's antennae.
Her voice was like the butterfly's antennae, delicate and soft, with a hint of annoyance and unhappiness.
"There's also that female ghost's blood letter. I actually already have a suspect in my heart, but why would that person do this? Other than frightening the entire Residence of Yun and making it uneasy, what other meaning does this have? From 'dangerous' to 'absolute', what is it hinting at? "
The promised fifteen days were getting shorter and shorter. There weren't many clues, but the implications were getting wider and wider. This made Ning Shu a little anxious.
Xiahou Qing said unhurriedly, "Since the above question can't be solved for now, why don't you tell me what other doubts you have in your heart? For example, Prince Ke."
Following his guidance, Ning Shu's disturbed state of mind calmed down once again, and she tried to sort out the mess.
She borrowed a ladle of cold water from Xiahou Qing's book and dipped her finger in it. She slowly wrote the word 'one' on the table in front of her.
"I heard Xiao Yuncen mention before that Prince Ke's Residence had a Niinu one or two years ago, but at the time I thought that the timing didn't match and that it was just someone with the same name. Now it seems that there's a big mystery behind it. Is the Niinu from Prince Ke's Residence and the Niinu on the Moon Embracing Lake the same person? Why did an outsider like Xiao Yuncen remember that there was a Niinu, but Prince Ke, the master, said that he couldn't remember clearly? Was he really blinded by love and forgot? This is the first reason. "
"Niinu's purpose in coming to the capital was very clear: to look for someone. However, the identity of the person she was looking for was tightly concealed and she refused to mention it to anyone. Even Chun Niang, who was her best friend, was also tight-lipped. What was the identity of that sister? Why did she have to be so tight-lipped? This is the second reason. "
After writing these two words, she lowered her eyes and began to think again. The water droplets on her fingertips were a little cold, slowly taking away the warmth from her hands. However, she didn't realize it at all. She only tried her best to sort out the mess in her mind one by one and sort it out clearly.
Xiahou Qing didn't want to disturb her. He took the tea cake from Jiu Si, broke off a small piece, put it into the teapot, and carefully ground it. When the water in the teapot was boiling, he poured the ground tea into it and slowly stirred it. The aroma of tea instantly filled the entire room. It was fresh and refreshing, making one's soul feel refreshed.
Ning Shu's blocked thoughts suddenly became clear. She raised her finger and wrote the next number "three".
"After the blood letter incident, I took the opportunity to test Yun Ruohui. I asked him if he went to the Moon Luring Lake on the night of Cloud Leaf's accident. He admitted it. The reason was that he heard that Cloud Leaf went there to compete in poetry. He was afraid that it would cause trouble, so he went to check on the situation. He didn't expect to run into a servant who said that Cloud Leaf was missing, so he went to the boat to ask. As for the previous time, he gave the explanation that he heard Niinu's beautiful singing. That day, he passed by and wanted to have a feast for his ears. He didn't expect that Niinu would be taken away by someone else. At first, his explanation sounded reasonable, but there was a loophole. Even if he went to the boat to look for someone, when he heard that Cloud Leaf and Niinu weren't there, he should have immediately gotten off the boat and continued to look for them. Why did he have to wait there for a full fifteen minutes? He was a well-known fine young master in the capital. How could he have a connection with a prostitute? This is the third reason! "
