The two members of the Wen family fell into silence. They never expected that things would develop to such an extent. Everything that had been planned had failed in an instant, and it had caused such trouble. They were filled with regret and resentment.
"There will definitely be a fair decision on this matter, humph!" The butler said harshly, and was about to turn around and leave. However, his footsteps were like being nailed down by the gentle "wait", and he could not move an inch.
Lan Wangshu's tone was soft, and he sounded as if he had no emotion at all, but it seemed to contain endless power, causing the butler's body to involuntarily freeze in place.
"Does the county lady have any other instructions?" The butler turned around with difficulty, stiffened his neck, and tried hard not to reveal the slightest timidity in his voice.
"It's not really an order. I just have a small problem that I need the butler to help me solve." Lan Wangshu said in a calm and nonchalant tone, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.
"You might as well say it directly. If you don't want me to, I can't leave." The housekeeper's words were mixed with a hint of sarcasm. However, Lan Wangshu didn't care. She knew in her heart that her goal was clear and she would not be disturbed by these insignificant emotions.
Lan Wangshu looked calm, she knew exactly what she wanted. Today, she wanted to use this opportunity to link Wen Sangongzi with the flower thief. Her eyes were firm and bright, as if telling everyone that she would not be easily defeated.
"What are you saying, butler? I just want to shut those people up. You can't say that the Wen family has been targeting me, an insignificant county lord with only a nominal title, for some unspeakable reasons." There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in Lan Wangshu's voice, which made people feel pity.
"What are you talking about, the county lady? I don't understand." The housekeeper pretended to be confused and tried to play dumb and escape.
"It doesn't matter whether you can understand or not. Lord Hua, I have suffered such a great injustice and I just want to wash this mud clean. There shouldn't be any problem." Lan Wangshu turned his gaze to Hua Qiming, his eyes flashing with determination and a hint of pleading.
Hua Qiming watched Lan Wangshu's pretentious performance and tried hard to suppress the smile on his face. He quietly watched this clever and intelligent girl, his heart full of appreciation and admiration.
Okay, here is the expanded content:
Actually, this is not a very important matter. I just want to clean up the dirty water that has been thrown on me. After thinking hard for many days, I finally figured out a way. "
"Oh? How?"
Lan Wangshu turned his head slightly, and gave Hua Qiming a fierce look through the curtain. Although Hua Qiming couldn't see it, he could already imagine the expression on that face.
"Why don't I help the Wen family find the real murderer? There are several problems that need to be solved. We know that the time of death was yesterday, but where was the place of death? Why do you insist that I am the murderer? Where did you find this piece of torn cloth? Everyone knows that I was busy hiding the gold yesterday, and then I returned to Zui Fusheng to prepare ice food. I didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime at all."
"That's just the county lord's one-sided statement."
"Well, even if this is just my one-sided story, then where was the Third Young Master's body found? The streets were crowded with people yesterday, maybe someone witnessed the whole thing?"
Even though Lan Wangshu was so rudely confronted by a housekeeper, her expression did not change at all. She still looked calm and composed, and her tone was full of infinite tolerance.
"There's no need for you to worry about that, my lady." The Wen family's housekeeper spoke in a firm attitude and was about to turn around and leave with his men. Seeing this, Lan Wangshu stood up immediately.
"Stop!" she shouted loudly, her voice full of determination. Lan Wangshu's eyes became sharp, staring at the butler closely, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"If you want to frame me, you can do it. If you want to leave, you can leave. What do you think I am? You are the one who said you wanted to arrest someone, and you are the one who refused to give a direct answer. Is there something fishy going on here?" Her words were extremely rude, even murderous, which made the housekeeper's body stiffen for a moment. He wanted to continue walking away, but Hua Qiming's shout stopped him.
"Butler, don't leave in a hurry. I am certainly not here for no reason..." Hua Qiming gently shook his fan and leaned leisurely on the chair. His eyes narrowed into slits, but the flash of brilliance that passed by was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at the butler, making the butler feel like he was nailed to the spot and unable to move.
"I... don't understand what Prime Minister Hua means." There was a slight tremor in the butler's voice. He tried to keep his expression calm, but beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
"Hey...it's not important whether the butler understands what I mean. What's important is that I know some inside information."
"When the butler bowed, his body leaned forward slightly, his eyes flickered, and he secretly looked up at Hua Qiming. He felt uneasy, as if countless little claws were scratching him. He always felt that something was wrong, and the development seemed to be out of control and heading in an unknown direction.
"Explicitly state? Okay, there are many people here today, so we can be frank. The piece of cloth in your hand is indeed very similar to the one in Guihua County, but they are not the same piece." Hua Qiming said in a firm tone, pointing casually at the light red cloth in the butler's hand.
The butler showed a surprised expression on his face, which was definitely not a disguise. He glanced at the chief guard blankly, his eyes full of questions. The chief guard also looked blank, and touched the back of his neck, also not understanding why Hua Qiming was so sure.
At this moment, the situation is very tricky. They know that there is no way out at this moment. If they take a step back, they will not only lose the face of the Wen family, but also may ruin their lives. They decided to take a gamble, hoping to find a turning point. If you don’t understand, please explain it to Prime Minister Hua. "
The butler cupped his hands and secretly looked up at Hua Qiming. He felt like there were countless little claws scratching his heart. He always felt that something was wrong and things seemed to be heading in an uncontrollable direction.
"Explicitly? Okay, since there are so many people here today, let's be frank. Your piece of cloth is indeed very similar to that of Guihua County Lady, but they are not the same piece."
Hua Qiming casually pointed at the light red cloth in the housekeeper's hand.
"How is this possible? Impossible... Absolutely impossible. This is what fell from Guihua County Lady."
