"She didn't ask anything and only talked for about fifteen minutes before ordering me to leave. However, something very strange happened right after. I originally wanted to go to the Moon Embracing Lake to ask the procuress on the pleasure boat for a piece of evidence, but I was delayed by the fifth princess's question. By the time I arrived, the piece of evidence had already been burned into the lake along with the boat. Does Eldest Young Master feel that this is strange?" Ning Shu looked up with a smile and carefully observed every inch of his expression.
Yun Ruohui didn't even think: "She definitely didn't do this!" Without any hesitation.
After he finished speaking, he realized that he was a bit agitated and arbitrary. He clenched his fists and then pretended to say unintentionally: "What I mean is, it might just be a coincidence. Her Highness the Princess is noble, why would she burn a pleasure boat for no reason? And if she did it, she didn't have to personally stop you. She could have sent people to cause trouble on the way. That way, no one would suspect her. "
"I think so too. I'm afraid it's just a coincidence," Ning Shu nodded with a smile and then shook her head, "But the culprit is another unsolved case."
Yun Ruohui was silent for a moment and didn't speak.
Looking at his departing figure, Ning Shu deeply frowned.
She died three years ago. Then what was up with Niinu? Or did he deliberately say it to confuse her?
This person was too complicated. He was like a combination of contradictions. The sweetness of the memories was real. The resentment when he talked about the death of his sweetheart was real. The anxiousness when he chased after her small portrait was real. Now, when he talked about the regret when he shouldn't have met in the beginning, it was also real …
And the fifth princess. His reaction at the time was too fast, completely out of instinct. It was as if he had already determined that it had nothing to do with the fifth princess. But how did he know? And the rumors said that he was heartless to the fifth princess. Why did he exonerate her?
His person was exactly the same as the ink-colored landscape on the robe he was wearing today. It was so hazy that she couldn't see through him.
After Yun Ruohui left, Forsythia reported the movements of the Yun residence in the past two days.
"Miss, I've been guarding here for the past few days. I've seen the Eldest Young Master taking care of the Cloud Leaf with my own eyes. Young Master is really doing his best. If this case was really done by him, then this person … is too scary."
He was a Buddha on one side and a demon on the other. Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.
Ning Shu said, "The human heart is something that cannot be guessed. This time it is definitely related to him, but it is not necessarily his doing. You continue to guard here and inform me if there is anything unusual. Tonight, Hui Mo and I will go to the Third Prince's mansion to try our luck. "
As it turned out, her luck had not been very good recently.
Ning Shu waited outside the Third Prince's residence for two consecutive nights, but she didn't find anything. She didn't go to bed until it was almost dawn. Not long after, she was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the door.
Ning Shu angrily lifted the quilt. She heard Hui Mo outside the door: "My Shizi invites you. He is outside the mansion."
She opened her sore eyes with difficulty and sighed. She forced herself to get up from the bed.
Xiahou Qing sat in the carriage and said elegantly: "Wait for me at the Seven Mile Bridge in the evening."
"For what?" Ning Shu just asked and quickly realized which mansion was not far from the Seven Mile Bridge. Her eyes lit up: "The Third Prince's mansion?"
Xiahou Qing nodded slightly: "It is not convenient for you to go in and find clues by yourself. I will take you in. Remember to dress up before you come. "
"Then what identity should I dress up as? Bodyguard? "
Xiahou Qing raised the corner of his mouth and showed an expression that was not a smile. Obviously, he meant "You think too highly of yourself with your height". Then, under Ning Shu's gloomy expression, he slowly said three words: "Little eunuch."
Ning Shu: "…"
