Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Mo Yinan glanced at Situ Ming without saying anything, and walked directly to the coffin and examined it carefully. His heart was beating uncontrollably, and he only hoped that what he saw was not the real Situ Yue.

He looked around, not missing a single detail. When he saw the wrist, he paused. After a moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he quickly retracted it.

Then he stood up straight, walked towards Situ Ming and asked, "How did you confirm that this person is Situ Yue? Where did you find him?"

"She has the unique mark of our Situ clan. Although her body was burned beyond recognition, the mark will not disappear. And her figure is exactly the same as Situ Yue's. We found her at the place where her father and brother were killed. We roughly surmise that it should be her."

"Have you investigated the whereabouts of the murderer?"

The fifth elder Situ Yu stood up and said, "We will definitely investigate thoroughly. We will not let anyone who dares to kill our clan leader down. But we don't need to tell you, the Regent, what we have found. Do you take our Situ clan seriously with your questioning attitude?"

"Why don't you take Situ seriously? Isn't the Fifth Elder a little too sensitive? I am only investigating this matter on the orders of the Emperor, and I am just asking a few routine questions. Why does the Fifth Elder say that he doesn't take Situ seriously?"

"You!" The fifth elder was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"That's enough." The second elder stepped forward to pull the man back, looked at Mo Yinan and said, "Since the Regent King is investigating this case, we should be grateful. We also hope that the prince can help us find the murderer. We will definitely cut him into pieces."

"Well, now that the Situ family has no patriarch, do you have any new candidates?" Mo Yinan said.

The third elder, Situ Yin, stood up and said, "We have always been strict in selecting the patriarch of the Situ clan. So we will not just randomly select someone because the patriarch suddenly passed away. We will definitely go through strict screening and finally select a qualified candidate."

After hearing this, the fourth elder Situ Qi said indignantly: "Humph! How can we, the third and fourth branches, have a say here? The selection of clan leaders is originally selected from the legitimate sons. We only need to listen to the arrangements of the second and fifth elders."

Situ Yin nodded, took two steps back and stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Elder suddenly stepped forward and said, "If we talk about who has the most power to be elected as the clan leader now, it is naturally the Second Elder's lineage. Each clan leader selection must be trained for three years to select the most powerful one. But now the clan leader has suddenly passed away. There is definitely no time to select and train again."

"But the younger generation of disciples are still too young. So in my opinion, the second and fifth elders also participated in the training. Why not vote among them to choose one person to temporarily take over as the clan leader. It would be most appropriate for the younger generation to participate in the selection and training when they grow up a little bit. What do the second and fifth elders think?"

Situ Ming looked at Situ Yu and said, "I think what Fourth Brother said makes sense. What do Fifth Brother think?"

Situ Yu bowed and said, "I am the youngest, so I will listen to my second brother's instructions."

"Hmph! What a scene of brotherly love and respect. But since you have already decided how to select the next clan leader, I will not get involved in your family affairs." Mo Yinan snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

After saying this, he walked directly outside without waiting for them to reply, saying as he walked, "Don't worry, everyone. I will thoroughly investigate the lineage that murdered the Great Elder."

After Mo Yinan left, the second elder said, "Since we have already decided, why not start voting tomorrow? The Situ clan cannot survive without a clan leader. Do you have any opinions?"

"We will listen to Second Brother." Several people responded in unison. The Third Elder said, "We will abstain from voting. We will not participate in the election. I hope Second Brother and Fifth Brother will forgive me."

"What do you mean? Why don't you participate in the election?" the fourth elder asked.

"Don't I have the right to abstain? In my opinion, we should not choose a clan leader first, but arrange Yue'er's funeral first. You are arguing here all the time, but have you ever cared about who killed Yue'er?" The third elder had no temper to begin with, but he suddenly spoke so loudly, which scared several people.

The fifth elder sighed and spoke first: "We are all family. We were also extremely sad when we learned that our eldest brother's family had died. Just when we had finally calmed down, we learned that Yue'er had been murdered. Although we are sad, there are still a lot of things in the clan that need to be dealt with. We can't just immerse ourselves in sadness, don't you think?"

"Besides, the murderer of my eldest brother's family is not only under investigation by us, but also by the emperor. I think it won't be long before we can avenge them."

The second elder's face darkened when he heard this, and he clenched his teeth. After a moment, he said, "Since Third Brother will not participate in the vote for the clan leader, how about leaving Yue'er's funeral to you?"

After hearing this, the Fourth Elder responded, "Yes, I think Third Brother is so careful that he will definitely be able to handle it. Third Brother, don't refuse."

After hearing this, the Third Elder's eyes seemed to sparkle with tears. He took a deep breath to suppress his inner anxiety and said, "Well, in that case, I'll get busy first." After saying that, he walked out directly.

After the Third Elder walked out, the Second Elder snorted coldly and then walked to the coffin containing Situ Yue and took a closer look. The coffin looked so real that he almost thought it was Situ Yue.

The fourth elder looked at the third elder's back as he walked out and spat, "Ever since the eldest brother's family passed away, the third elder seems to be taking the second brother less and less seriously."

"Okay, fourth brother, stop talking. Third brother must be in a bad mood, that's why he is dissatisfied for the time being. He will be fine after some time. Besides, we all know third brother's temper. He doesn't mean that." The fifth elder persuaded.

But after hearing these words, the second elder felt that they looked down on him because he was not the patriarch yet.

At this time, Mo Yinan got on the carriage and happened to arrive at the noodle shop he just passed by. He lifted the curtain and took a look inside. Chu Qianyu was no longer there. Then he said to Qingshan outside: "Find two secret guards to check Chu Qianyu for me. See if she has any abnormalities."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The man in green shirt agreed and went down quickly.

Soon he selected two capable candidates from the Dark Guard Camp, namely Dark Fifteen and Dark Sixteen.

The members of the Dark Guard Battalion usually go on missions based on their rankings. Every two months, they will compete and be ranked according to their positions.

That's why Qingshan chose these two. He felt that they were just daughters of aristocratic families. These two were enough. Not too bad, not too good, just average. Very suitable.

After receiving the mission, the two of them excitedly went to the mighty general's mansion. Holding the map in their hands, they quickly locked onto the courtyard where Chu Qianyu lived. Then they climbed over the wall and began to wait.

Chu Qianyu had just returned from Yunying's courtyard and briefly talked about what she had learned today. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she realized something was wrong.

There were two strange auras. Chu Qianyu lowered her head and moved her eyes slightly, but in a moment she had locked onto the two people's positions. Shao Ying and the other person beside her had already noticed it, but the lady didn't say anything, so there must be other intentions. So they pretended not to know and followed Chu Qianyu into the room.
