After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 253 She is the former queen

"Camellia, can you tell me why you insist on staying with me?"

Xu Yingying looked at Camellia and spoke curiously.

“It was just an accidental thing.”

Camellia was quite frank, "I came to Li Siqi by accident, and then followed him all the way."

"Inadvertently?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly and looked at Camellia with a puzzled look, obviously not believing what she said.

Seeing that Xu Yingying was unwilling to believe herself, Camellia sighed helplessly and said frankly: "Okay!"

"Actually, I am the late queen. Li Siming is my son. I have been worried about his safety since I died, so I have been following him."

"Well, actually I guessed it." Xu Yingying said calmly.

In fact, she had vaguely felt that Camellia's identity was not simple, but she didn't expect it to be exactly as she guessed.

Now everything makes sense. Why did Camellia appear "unconsciously" next to Li Siqi?

Moreover, the former queen had a broken foot before her death, and now Camellia is doing the same thing.

"Then can you remember who hurt you?" Xu Yingying asked subconsciously.

If Camellia could identify the murderer on the spot, then everything would be easy to solve.

"Let me try."

As Camellia spoke, she tried hard to recall some scenes before her death, but the expression on her face had already been distorted.

"I do not know."

"I seem to be able to vaguely remember something, but I can't remember it clearly."

"what--"

As soon as she finished speaking, Camellia hugged her head and collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it."

"Although this matter is extremely important, it's normal that you can't remember it for a while."

Xu Yingying quickly helped Chahua up from the ground, and then tried to calm her down.

"Ugh!"

Xu Yingying sighed slightly. It seemed that she could only find out what happened from that year by herself.

"Okay, let's let this matter go for now and don't think about it anymore, otherwise you will be more painful." Xu Yingying quickly comforted Camellia.

"it is good"

But Camellia liked Xu Yingying more and more, so she naturally wanted to make the relationship between Li Siqi and her better.

After all, Li Siqi is Camellia's biological son. As a mother, who doesn't want her son to be happy?

She became anxious when she saw that Li Siqi and Xu Yingying had a little disagreement over the wedding consummation, and wanted to try her best to make them reconcile.

noon.

Xu Yingying sat alone in front of the window, recalling what had happened during this period.

"Your Highness, the prince has sent someone to bring you your favorite cakes."

The personal maid came to Xu Yingying with some exquisite pastries.

"Your Majesty?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, feeling that Li Siqi's behavior today was a little abnormal.

However, seeing that it was sent by Li Siqi's confidant, he still accepted it.

"Has the prince often sent people to deliver things recently?"

Xu Yingying felt a little confused, and she looked at the maid as if seeking an answer.

"Princess, our Highness has been paying more and more attention to you recently. He knows that you like to eat some cakes, so he specially asked the chef to make some for you."

The maid excitedly recounted some of the things Li Siqi had done for Xu Yingying recently.

"All right."

Xu Yingying rubbed her temples, which had already been swollen and painful, and shook her head helplessly.

In the study room.

At the same time, Li Siqi also received goodwill from Xu Yingying.

"Butler, are these things sent by the princess?"

Li Siqi looked at the dazzling array of supplies piled on the table with some surprise.

He and Xu Yingying got together out of helplessness, and the two agreed from the beginning that they were just partners.

Besides, Xu Yingying didn’t seem to care about Li Siqi’s daily life before. Faced with Xu Yingying’s sudden changes, he always felt a little uneasy.

"Yes." The butler answered stiffly.

In fact, not to mention Li Siqi, even the housekeeper felt that Xu Yingying's recent behavior was a little abnormal.

But after all, it was the masters' business, and it was not appropriate for him, a servant, to interrupt.

"Why has this woman become more and more proactive recently?"

Li Siqi secretly speculated on Xu Yingying's motives for doing this.

"Butler, send someone to tell the princess that she doesn't need to send these things anymore. The prince doesn't need them."

Li Siqi had always been accustomed to Xu Yingying's coldness, so facing her sudden enthusiasm and initiative, he really couldn't accept it for a while.

"Yes."

When the housekeeper conveyed Li Siqi's intention to Xu Yingying, Xu Yingying became more and more puzzled.

"I understand."

Xu Yingying calmly sent the housekeeper away and then secretly launched an investigation.

"Princess, all these things were done secretly by Camellia." Wild Grass reported from the side.

Soon the truth about the cause of the incident came to light. It turned out that Camellia deliberately created opportunities for Xu Yingying and Li Siqi to misunderstand each other's intentions in order to warm up their relationship.

After Xu Yingying learned the truth of the matter, she shook her head slightly.

In fact, she wanted to find Li Siqi to explain, but when she thought of Camellia's pitiful death, she gave up the idea.

However, Xu Yingying would naturally not allow Camellia to act recklessly. After all, she and Li Siqi both respected the spirit of the contract, and no one wanted to break the balance of this relationship.

"Chahua, what you're doing will only make the misunderstanding between me and Li Siqi worse. Don't blame me if something like this happens again."

Xu Yingying pretended to be angry and spoke in a serious tone.

"Master, I actually have good intentions, so please don't be angry with me."

Camellia immediately coaxed Xu Yingying, "I promise I won't do this again in the future, and I won't create misunderstandings between you two. Your relationship is up to you two to decide, and I won't interfere anymore."

Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chahua's personal assurance.

She didn't dare scold Camellia too harshly, after all, Camellia was her mother-in-law.

"Let's forget about this time, but if it happens again I will be really unhappy." Xu Yingying then immediately made her position clear.

"Yes, I was wrong this time."

Camellia took the initiative to admit her mistake, and Xu Yingying naturally went down the stairs.

The next second, Camellia floated back, "Princess, Yu Xiao came to visit us on her own initiative."

"Yu Xiao?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, not knowing what she was doing here.

"Princess Nine, can you do me a favor?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xiao quickly floated to Xu Yingying's side.

"I know you are very powerful. Can you kill the male ghost that is harassing Guo Hongyao? If it weren't for him, Guo Hongyao wouldn't be seriously ill."

Yu Xiao looked at Xu Yingying with resentment.

"Why?" Xu Yingying was a little surprised.

Xu Yingying glanced at Yu Xiao and immediately understood what she was thinking.

"You are obviously doing this just to vent your personal grudge. Besides, everyone has his own karma and reincarnation, and I can't easily interfere and destroy it." Xu Yingying exposed the other party.

"But he has caused Guo Hongyao so much trouble. We must teach him a lesson this time no matter what." Yu Xiao insisted.

"No." Xu Yingying refused without even thinking.

"Well, since you won't help me, I'll just figure it out myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xiao left angrily.
