Although the two spoke in very low voices, they still could not escape Lan Wangshu's keen ears.

Xihe came down from upstairs, holding a chair in his hand, and Donglin followed closely behind, bringing a small coffee table. Seeing this, the others understood and quickly set up an exquisite small flower hall at the door.

Lan Wangshu calmly smoothed the hem of her skirt, and sat down gracefully and elegantly, like a blooming flower, exuding charming charm.

"Could this be the Guihua County Lady?" one of them asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it was the County Lady who was kidnapped yesterday?"

"It should be correct. The Third Young Master has mentioned many times his love for Lady Guihua." The other person answered affirmatively.

"But if it's Guihua County Lady, we can't act rashly. After all, she has a special status. Even if she's not the most expensive, she's still the most special. Moreover, if she really killed the Third Young Master, we need solid evidence. Besides Your Majesty, she also has the most popular person, Li Taifu. I heard that Li Taifu has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Hua. This is not going to be easy."

"Why worry so much? We are a noble family, and His Majesty would not dare to do anything to us. Our young master cannot die in vain."

"Then... let's give it a try?"

"It's settled. Do you have any direct evidence? We'll go in and arrest the man right away."

The two people outside discussed for a while and reached a consensus.

Lan Wangshu's heart sank. They really suspected her because of the death of the Third Young Master. She had to find a way to get out of this predicament and prove her innocence.

"Yes, this piece of cloth."

"Okay, let's do it."

Lan Wangshu sat quietly in the room, one hand supporting her temple, eyes closed, as if resting, or deep in thought. Her ears keenly caught the conversation between the two people outside, and she had already made a plan in her mind.

She beckoned Xihe slightly, and Xihe came over immediately. Lan Wangshu tugged at Zhang Cuicui's skirt without being noticed, and the woman understood and stood in front of her tacitly, cleverly blocking the view outside the door.

The girl dipped her tea in the water and gently wrote a few words on the table. Xihe took a closer look and understood her intention. Then he found a chance and quickly left the room. There were many people in the room, and it was indeed not easy to be noticed without him.

Two men walked into the room. The one in tight clothes looked a little ferocious, but he seemed to be concerned about Lan Wangshu's identity. He clasped his fists and saluted her: "Greetings to the Lady of Guihua County."

Lan Wangshu was not intimidated by his aura at all. She sneered and asked directly: "Oh, you still know that I am the Princess of Guihua County! I thought that the Princess appointed by His Majesty himself had no dignity at all! Could it be that your family's power is so great that it can override His Majesty?" There was a hint of majesty and dissatisfaction in her voice, which shocked people.

When the people on the other side heard this, their faces turned pale instantly, as if they had been accused of something extremely heavy for no reason. They were terrified, fearing that this matter would be known by His Majesty. By then, they were afraid that the entire family would suffer a devastating disaster and be executed along with all nine clans.

"County Lady Guihua, please be careful with your words!" The old man dressed as a butler suddenly turned pale, but he quickly regained his composure, his expression serious, and even looked at Lan Wangshu with threatening eyes.

However, Lan Wangshu just sneered, seemingly unconcerned about such threats. She was not a little girl who could be manipulated by others, and would never be easily frightened. She thought to herself that if these people looked down on her like this, they were totally wrong.

"Tsk..." There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in Lan Wangshu's laughter.

The two grown men looked at each other with surprised expressions, as if they were wondering if they had heard it wrong.

"Why is the county lady laughing?" one of the men couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I just thought of some happy things. My wife is about to give birth, and I am about to welcome the birth of a new life." Lan Wangshu replied with a smile.

The people around her were stunned at first, and then they also laughed softly. The faces of the people from the noble families turned gloomy. They didn't understand why Lan Wangshu suddenly said such a thing, but they could clearly feel that she had bad intentions.

A woman said that her wife was about to give birth. This was simply too much and she did not take the two brothers seriously at all.

Guihua County Lady stood there quietly, her eyes clear and firm, facing the aggressive man in front of her, she did not flinch. The man said loudly: "Guihua County Lady, let's be frank, I suspect you killed our third son, so... please come with us." His voice was filled with undisguised suspicion and indifference, as if he had already determined that Guihua County Lady was the murderer.

Such a big show on their side attracted a group of people who came to watch the fun. There were whispers from the crowd, some people showed surprise on their faces, and some people looked like they were watching a good show.

"Did Lady Guihua kill someone?" someone whispered.

"I don't think so. It's unlikely that a little girl like you can kill a grown man." Another person shook his head, seemingly not believing it.

"How is that impossible? What if it was seduction?" another person interrupted.

"That's hard to say. After all, we can't see the county lady's face, but she still has a good figure. She looks the same even when the lights are off." This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the people around, and the laughter was full of vulgarity and disrespect.

Lan Wangshu originally wanted to listen to the voices of the people, but she heard such unbearable discussions, and her face became more and more ugly. These people's words pierced her heart like a knife, making her feel extremely angry and wronged. She bit her lips tightly, clenched her hands slightly, and tried to control her emotions.

However, when she saw the angry face of Mu Lihou, she knew she could no longer remain silent. She straightened up and said in a clear and firm voice: "Empty words are not evidence!"

"Go with me?" Lan Wangshu's voice was filled with undisguised anger. "Why should I go with you?"

"Who is so rude that he doesn't even dare to introduce himself and yet dares to attack me!" Her tone was full of questioning, and her fists were clenched, as if she was ready for a fight at any time.

"You said I killed your son?" His voice rose eight degrees, with obvious surprise and anger. "When and where? What was your motive? Are there any witnesses?"

"How did I kill him? Where is the murder weapon?"

"You come to arrest people for no reason. Do you really have such extraordinary abilities?"
