Bai Yiyi's personal maid was murdered. This is not a small matter.
Butler Lin ordered people to search the pond carefully, and found the tray, a pile of broken pieces of dishes, and the hairpin that Xiaorou held in her hand and admired from time to time.
"This hairpin seems to belong to the princess." The maid who delivered medicine to Su Ranhua recognized it. She had seen it before when she delivered medicine to Su Ranhua.
"Are you sure?" Butler Lin asked. It was even more extraordinary that the murder case was related to the princess.
The maid looked at the hairpin carefully and nodded in confirmation, "Yes, the workmanship of this hairpin is very exquisite. You can tell at a glance that it is made by a famous hand and it is a unique treasure. When the slave saw it inserted in the princess's head,
I even admired it secretly."
"No one is allowed to mention today's events casually." Butler Lin's sharp eyes swept across the crowd of spectators.
"Yes." Everyone responded and dispersed one after another. It was the best policy not to listen or watch.
"Miss Bai, I have my condolences and accept the change." Butler Lin said to Bai Yiyi who was in tears.
Bai Yiyi nodded, sobbing, "Uncle Lin, please find out the real culprit and give Xiaorou justice."
"I will do my best," Butler Lin promised, looking at the hairpin in his hand with a solemn expression.
"Actually, the murderer has been identified." Bai Yiyi let go of Xiaorou's body and stood up. The autumn wind blew by, making the grief-stricken body look particularly thin and frail, but her eyes were somewhat firm.
"Miss Bai," Butler Lin looked at the hairpin again, not knowing what to say. The Prime Minister's daughter, the newly married princess, has become a murderer. It is really unspeakable.
"I'm going to ask her why she wanted to kill Xiaorou?" Bai Yiyi walked towards Su Ranhua's side room with a sense of loss, and kept muttering, "Although Xiaorou was disrespectful to her, she was already making up for it, and she also stood up for her.
She cleaned up the house, brought her food, and took care of her all night last night. How could she do this? How could she do it? "
Su Ranhua had long been awakened by the commotion outside. After leaving the house, he stood not far from the pond. It wasn't until he heard someone talking about his hairpin that he realized that Xiaorou's death was not only strange, but also brought consequences to him.
Quite a big trouble.
Seeing Bai Yiyi walking towards her, Su Ranhua stood calmly. She had a clear conscience and was not afraid. But how should she clear her suspicion? Su Ranhua hated being framed the most in her life. Early in the morning, Xiaorou framed her.
She caused Bai Yiyi to fall down and get injured. It was just a small trick and not worth mentioning. But now it was about human lives and her own reputation and innocence, so she couldn't take it lightly.
"Why are you so cruel?" Bai Yiyi walked to Su Ran's painting and stood still, facing her with a sad face, and her painful eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"It's someone else who is cruel, I didn't do it." Su Ranhua said loudly. She was used to seeing all kinds of death. She had no emotional flutter for Xiaorou lying beside the bridge, but it was not her fault in the first place.
, she won’t admit it.
"So, how come your hairpin fell into the pond with Xiaorou?" Bai Yiyi pointed back at Butler Lin, who was holding the hairpin in his hand, which was the most powerful evidence.
The courage to take the decision for his maid and the fierceness to identify the murderer made Su Ranhua see a different kind of light in Bai Yiyi. In fact, she was not as weak in her bones as she appeared.
Su Ranhua did not answer Bai Yiyi, but walked towards Butler Lin, stood in front of him, and asked calmly, "Butler Lin, do you think you can conclude that this princess is the murderer just based on a missing hairpin?"
"Lost?" Before Butler Lin could speak, Bai Yiyi stepped forward and asked sternly, "Your hairpin just happened to be lost in the pond? Or do you want to say that someone stole your hairpin? In the entire Beiwang Mansion, except for those under my command,
Xiaorou, who else would come into contact with you frequently? What’s more, in the Beiwang Mansion, who would dare to pull out the hairpin from your head blatantly and cause trouble for a hairpin? "
Bai Yiyi's aggressive questioning and indignation moved the onlookers.
"Yiyi," Ximen Hao came, holding the emotional Bai Yiyi with one hand, and his sharp eyes shot at Su Ranhua, just like the knife on Xiaorou's chest.
"Hao, you have to make the decision for Xiaorou!"
As soon as the sound fell, Bai Yiyi couldn't take a breath and fainted in Ximen Hao's arms.
"Uncle Lin, send Yiyi back to her room to rest." Ximen Hao said.
"Yes." Butler Lin took Bai Yiyi and handed the hairpin to Ximen Hao.
"Take the body and retreat!" Ximen Hao glanced at the few remaining bystanders and ordered in a deep voice.
In an instant, only Ximen Hao and Su Ranhua were left by the pond, facing each other against the wind.
"Didn't you do it?" Ximen Hao raised his hand and looked at the hairpin in his hand, then took a step closer to Su Ranhua, his eyes bright and compelling.
"No." Su Ranhua looked at Ximen Hao, his eyes calm and clear.
"What do you mean by this hairpin?" Ximen Hao shook the so-called physical evidence and asked.
"I gave it to Xiaorou." Su Ranhua said calmly.
Ximen Hao stared at Su Ranhua closely, his pale face showing no signs of disturbance other than an unmoved calmness. This looked very much like himself when facing an enemy.
"You are very smart." Ximen Hao softly spat out a few words from his mouth.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Su Ranhua accepted it happily and smiled faintly. Ximen Hao did not question her, which was beyond her expectation, but it was reasonable. She could see that Ximen Hao was not a stupid person and would not act like that.
Those servants usually insist that they are the murderers with just a hairpin.
"If the murderer you think is not caught, then you can only be the one who kills Xiaorou." Ximen Hao stared at Su Ranhua and said word by word.
For Bai Yiyi, someone had to pay for Xiaorou's death, and Su Ranhua, the biggest suspect, was involved. This was also the reason why Ximen Hao could vent his hatred. However, when facing Su Ranhua, looking at her face
With a calm and unflappable face, even if Ximen Hao hated Su Ranhua in his heart, he would not make any random and unjust move. This was incomparable to Bai Yiyi's injury.
Ximen Hao has no villain heart at all.
"That all depends on the prince." Su Ranhua said with a chuckle. Even though his face was pale and his body was weak, he still had a natural strength that made his smile penetrate people's hearts.
Suluo City really sent an excellent chess piece!
Ximen Hao's dark eyes concealed the sudden gloominess and the anger about twenty days.
If everything had nothing to do with Su Luo City, he would definitely allow her to approach him, but...
Now the two are filled with mutual hostility, as if this is destiny.
"Uh..." Su Ranhua suddenly felt dizzy, and a special kind of flame surged upwards in his body. His pale face was dyed with a faint blush, making it appear unusually pink.
