"Mrs. Dongge, I wonder what you meant by what you just said?" Feng Jiuer had no intention of paying attention to what Mrs. Dongge said.
"What is the relationship between the little sister of the Liang family and the castle lord? And why do you say that such a relationship can prove that the castle lord's wife is the murderer?"
"You are an outsider. I don't understand why you want to interfere in the affairs of our Nanman Fort?" Mrs. Dongge looked at Feng Jiuer with disdain in her eyes.
"Mrs. Dongge, this..."
Before the castle master finished explaining, Feng Jiuer raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "I am the castle master's friend."
"Yes." The castle master looked back at Feng Jiu'er and nodded immediately, "Miss Feng and I are friends. I asked her to help investigate this matter."
Mrs. Dongge did not doubt or refute what the castle master said, her eyes still fell on Feng Jiuer.
Feng Jiuer looked at her politely and waved her hand: "So, Mrs. Dongge, can you explain what you just said?"
Mrs. Dongge frowned and said calmly: "You are an outsider, so of course you don't know what is going on in our castle."
"Years ago, the castle lord saved Mr. Liang's little daughter. Everyone was spreading rumors that the castle lord might take Mr. Liang's little daughter as his concubine."
"It's not surprising that Madam feels uncomfortable and has murderous intentions! Miss Feng, don't you think so?"
"If this is the murderer's motive for killing, then doesn't Xiaoyi's beloved concubine also have the same motive?" Feng Jiuer's eyes turned and fell on Chen Xiaoyi.
This concubine doesn't look like a good person. On the contrary, the castle owner's wife is open and honest, which makes people feel much more comfortable.
Feng Jiu'er also knew that everything should not be too one-sided, but her words were not unreasonable. If someone wanted to be jealous, it was not just the castle master's wife who was jealous.
But this castle owner has many wives and concubines?
Chen Xiaoyi didn't seem to expect that something would suddenly hit her head. She glanced at Feng Jiuer with wide eyes, tears flowing down again.
"Master, I didn't do it. How could it be me? Miss Feng, is there any evidence that I did it? I didn't do it!"
Feng Jiuer finally understood why this woman was the most favored now.
Not only does she have good facial features, but her figure is absolutely good. I'm afraid modern people wouldn't be able to get such a good figure even if they had plastic surgery.
And I heard that women who can act coquettishly are more likely to please men. Feng Jiuer doesn't know if this is true, but judging from the way the castle master behaves, it is undoubtedly the case.
"I'm just making an analogy, why should Miss Chen be so nervous?" Feng Jiuer curled her lips slightly and said softly.
"Fort Master." Little Cherry looked at the Castle Master and cupped her hands, "I can prove that this slave did not lie."
"Little Cherry Girl, do you know anything?" the castle master immediately waved his hand and asked.
"Yesterday Jiu'er asked me to send Xiaonu back. In fact, he asked me to check whether there is any problem with Xiaonu." Little Cherry nodded and continued to ask.
"When I asked the slave to change her clothes, I searched her bed and there was no jade pendant on her bed."
"If the jade pendant was really found on her bed, it must be a frame-up!"
"Is there such a thing?" The castle master looked at Little Cherry and frowned.
Little Cherry held up her hands again and said, "It is true."
Just at this time, Liang Yi, who was escorting the castle master's wife out, came back from outside.
The castle owner raised his eyes to look at the person who came in, and frowned slightly: "Liang Yi, Miss Little Cherry said that she checked the slave's bed yesterday and did not find the jade pendant."
"Also, why didn't you find the jade pendant yesterday and found it again this morning? What happened?"
Liang Yi returned to the castle owner calmly and bowed his hands.
"Yesterday, we searched all the slaves' rooms, but we didn't find the jade pendant."
"Whose idea was it for the second search?" Feng Jiuer asked softly.
"It's me." Mrs. Dongge looked at Feng Jiuer and responded calmly.
"Yes, after Mrs. Dongge accompanied the three sworn brothers to take care of the funeral, she wanted to investigate the matter personally without taking a rest." Liang Yi nodded and said.
"Because Mrs. Dongge is my adoptive father's sister, and she went with her three adopted brothers, I didn't stop her."
"Unexpectedly, after another thorough investigation, I found the jade pendant."
"I didn't find the jade pendant the first time, and even the little girl didn't find the jade pendant. It doesn't mean that finding the jade pendant now is a frame-up." Mrs. Dongge said solemnly.
"My eldest brother died so tragically. Lord, do you want to give me and my three nephews an explanation?"
"Of course." The castle master looked at Mrs. Dongge and nodded.
Feng Jiuer did not expect that at this time, the castle master would look back at her.
Where did his prowess from the day before yesterday go? Although he didn't seem very powerful, he at least had some courage, not like he does now.
Could it be said that this castle owner both likes women and is afraid of women?
Feng Jiuer didn't know what she was thinking, but she shouldn't be the one to decide this kind of thing.
When Feng Jiuer didn't speak, the castle master looked away with some regret.
He looked at the three brothers of the Liang family and coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if it is really Madam's fault, I will never tolerate it."
"However, the matter is still full of doubts, and no one can make a conclusion for the time being."
His eyes fell on Mrs. Dongge, and the castle master continued: "What Mrs. Dongge said is not completely unreasonable."
"But at such a critical moment, why did Xiaonu take out the well-hidden jade pendant again? Is she afraid that others will not suspect her?"
"So, the credibility of this situation is not high, Mrs. Dongge, don't you think so?"
Mrs. Dongge looked at the castle master for a while, then glanced at Feng Jiuer before looking back.
"What the castle master said is not unreasonable, but I hope we still have to focus on investigating this little slave. She has the chance to poison her more than anyone else, right?"
"Yes." The castle master nodded, "So, from the beginning, we have someone monitoring the slave's every move."
"Don't worry, everyone, no matter who the murderer is, I will never condone it."
"Okay." Mrs. Dongge stood up, "Then my three brothers and I will go there first. If the Lord has any news, please inform us immediately."
"Of course." The castle master stood up and waved his hand.
"General Liang Yi, I wonder if you can stay?" Feng Jiuer looked at the few people leaving and said softly.
Liang Yi didn't want to leave. Hearing Feng Jiu'er's voice, he looked sideways at her and cupped his hands.
Mrs. Dongge left with the three brothers of the Liang family, and the hall was quite empty.
When the surroundings calmed down, Liang Yi asked: "Miss Feng, what are your orders?"
The news that Feng Jiuer rescued the old castle master soon spread in the castle.
Everyone knows that the castle master cares about the old castle master as his savior, and of course he will treat Feng Jiuer with courtesy.
