Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 149: Day and night, crazy

"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an nodded.

When he heard that this case involved four lives, his expression was similar to Ji Chuhe's at this moment.

How deep is the hatred that requires killing four people?

"You must investigate this matter as soon as possible without delay. Tell me any new developments at any time." The princess instructed.

"Yes, mother." Xiao Yan'an responded softly.

"Prince!" Tianxi's voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Prince, there's news from the government office, saying that they've found some clues."

Xiao Yan'an stood up immediately, "Mother, I will go to the government office now to see what's going on."

"Go."

Xiao Yanan left in a hurry.

As soon as I walked out of Heluan Palace, Xu Yan'er ran towards me anxiously from one direction.

"Prince! Are you going out of the house again?"

"Yes, there is something going on in the government office and I need to deal with it urgently." Xiao Yan'an walked around Xu Yan'er and strode forward.

In a moment of desperation, Xu Yan'er rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yan'an's waist from behind.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Xiao Yan'an shouted angrily.

"Prince, are you avoiding me? The government office is not that busy. I want you to accompany me, okay?" Xu Yan'er's tone was pleading.

"I really have something important to deal with!"

"Prince, do you know how sad and scared I was that Dongling became pregnant with your child before me?" Xu Yan'er immediately showed an expression that was both pitiful and aggrieved.

Now that she has said this, Xiao Yan'an will at least say a few words to coax her, right?

Xiao Yan'an pulled her hand away, "Xu Yan'er, can you please have some shame? Didn't you come to me just for that matter?"

Xu Yan'er was stunned by the scolding, and looked at Xiao Yan'an in disbelief, "Even if...even if...I really did it for that matter, am I wrong? I just want to give birth to a child for the prince!"

"You are simply insane!" Xiao Yan'an said, and strode away.

Xu Yan'er stood there for a long time, not coming back to her senses?

Is she shameless?

Is she crazy?

Who are you scolding?

If he hadn't broken his promise and let Dong Ling get pregnant, would she be like this now?

He had the nerve to blame her!

Heluan Palace.

After Xiao Yan'an left, Ji Chuhe was still here to accompany the princess.

"He'er, what do you think about what happened at the Concubine's farm?"

"My dear mother, to be honest, I suspect it has something to do with Concubine Gao." Ji Chuhe said bluntly.

"Last time, she ruined an innocent girl, this time, four lives were taken! Her methods are getting worse and worse! For so many years, I have served the same husband as her, but I didn't know she was so cruel. Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted just because her brother became the new noble in front of the emperor?"

The princess also received news about the Gao family's affairs.

"Mother, let's wait for the results of the investigation. If it was really done by Concubine Gao, then she and the Gao family will have to pay the price!"

The princess nodded in agreement, it was time to pay the price.

"I still don't understand what Concubine Gao wants to achieve by doing this? The loss of life in the industry under the name of the Concubine Dowager has little impact on me and the Crown Prince. She is unlikely to bring trouble to me and the Crown Prince." The princess expressed her doubts.

Ji Chuhe seemed to be thinking, "Concubine Gao's purpose is not very clear."

"Then just like you said, let's wait and see what happens. But I don't know when the prince will realize that it was Concubine Gao who set it up."

"Don't worry, mother. The recent events have made the prince grow up a lot. He won't do anything to harm others. But that doesn't mean he is so kind that he will allow others to harm him."

"His growth is all thanks to you, He'er. It's a blessing for him to meet you."

"Mother, you are too kind."

……

Xiao Yan'an hurried to the government office.

The people who went to investigate the case brought back some people who provided clues, and they all stood in front of him.

"What do you know? Tell the truth." Xiao Yan'an said to these people.

"Sir, I saw with my own eyes that Sun Liang had an argument with someone a few days ago."

One of the deceased was named Sun Liang.

"Do you know who was arguing with Sun Liang?"

"I happen to know that person. He runs a winery and he collects all the grain from the winery. His name is Xu Gui."

"Xu Gui?" Xiao Yan'an was familiar with this name.

This person is Xu Yaner’s brother!

"Your Highness, the Ali I know once had conflicts with Xu Gui. Xu Gui was extremely lustful. He once made advances towards Ali's wife. Ali was so angry that he beat Xu Gui. Xu Gui has been causing trouble for Ali for a long time."

"On the day of the incident, Xu Gui also harassed Ali's wife!" another one echoed.

A total of four people died, and two of them were related to Xu Gui.

"Someone, go and capture Xu Gui!" Xiao Yan'an gave the order immediately.

When the people from the government office arrived at Xu Gui's winery, there were only a few workers in the winery and Xu Gui was nowhere to be seen. They immediately rushed to Xu's house to arrest him, but when they arrived, they still could not find any trace of Xu Gui.

"Immediately order the painter to draw a portrait of Xu Gui and search the entire city for him!" Xiao Yan'an gave the order again.

Wangfu.

Ji Chuhe and the princess were both surprised when they heard the news.

"Xu Gui is a suspect?" Ji Chuhe couldn't help but ask.

"He is still Xu Yan'er's brother." The princess added.

"If that's the case, then the prince is implicated. After all, Xu Yan'er is the prince's concubine."

"The prince has not shown favoritism and has already searched the entire city for Xu Gui."

"Once the city is under martial law, Xu Gui will not be able to escape. Even if he escapes before the incident, we can still track him down."

"Catch him first."

"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.

Qingluo walked in from outside and bowed to the princess and Ji Chuhe.

"Princess, Madam, the Consort sent someone over and said she wants to see Madam."

Ji Chuhe stood up and bowed to the princess, "Mother, since the princess dowager wants to see me, I will go."

"Go ahead." The princess nodded.

When Ji Chuhe arrived at Changning Palace, she saw Concubine Xu sitting in the main hall with a gloomy face.

"Ji Chuhe, did you do this?" The concubine asked Ji Chuhe as soon as she saw him.

"My Lady Toffee, I don't quite understand your question."

Concubine Xu picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at Ji Chuhe's feet, "Stop pretending to be stupid!"

Ji Chuhe stood still and took a deep breath, "Please let the Queen Mother tell you clearly."

"Are you planning to take back all the assets under my name? Xu Gui is my nephew, how could he commit a crime in my manor? With such a serious murder, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my manor!"

"Where did the Concubine Dowager get the news that Xu Gui was the murderer?" Ji Chuhe asked instead of answering.

"Do you think that if you eliminate the people around me, I will be deaf and dumb from now on?"

"Of course I don't dare to think so about the Concubine Dowager, but I'm afraid someone will deliberately pass on false information to the Concubine Dowager. The investigation at the government office has made progress, but it doesn't mean that Xu Gui killed someone. He is just a suspect, and the prince is investigating."

"He's just a suspect?"

"Yes, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that he is the murderer."

"Ji Chuhe, don't think that I will completely trust you just because of your few words! You are a cunning, scheming person! The princess has finally found a good knife! Don't be too proud, I will remember everything you do!"
