The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Always sensible? Never made her mother worry? Chu Yunxi found it ridiculous.

"Second Madam, according to our investigation, the second young master's broken leg half a month ago was due to a murder case, and his murder was also related to the murder case. Second Madam, there is no need to play the role of God's jealousy of talent in front of me. Just tell me everything you know honestly. Otherwise, we in the Dali Temple cannot guarantee when we can catch the murderer. Maybe we can only try Su Xin's death case first."

Chu Yunxi did not intend to beat around the bush with Shao. When she met Shao at Qin's house that day, Chu Yunxi could see that Shao knew what her son had done, and her hypocritical attitude was just an attempt to cover up all the ugly things Qin Huaijin had done.

Sure enough, when she heard Su Xin's name, Shao's face changed instantly, and she stopped crying. After a long pause, she asked, "What did you find out?"

Chu Yunxi smiled faintly, "It's not much, but it's enough to convict the Second Young Master of murder."

Shao was even more panicked and cried out, "Huai Jin is dead, can't you just let him go? Besides, he was just confused for a moment."

"Can you kill someone because of a momentary confusion? If the person who killed the Second Young Master comes to you and tells you that he killed the Second Young Master because he was confused for a moment, will you forgive him?" Chu Yunxi raised her voice slightly.

Shao was shocked by her, and was now in a state of panic. Her brain raced, trying to think of how to explain the matter, but after thinking it over, it seemed that she could no longer hide it.

Chu Yunxi didn't urge her, she just stared at Shao. Shao was even more flustered by her gaze. Finally, she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Actually... In fact, Huai Jin was just... blinded by lust for a moment, so he brought Su Xin to the edge of the cliff to... have some fun. He just made a mistake that every man would make. Su Xin's master is a fickle person, how could her maid be any better? It's just that the girl was unlucky. She had to struggle to escape, and accidentally fell off the cliff. Huai Jin tried to pull her up, but he couldn't hold her back, and she dragged him down with her. Fortunately, he only hit his leg and grabbed a protruding rock, so he saved his life, but the girl couldn't come up. Princess, the death of this girl can't be blamed on Huai Jin, right?"

Shao looked at Chu Yunxi anxiously, but Chu Yunxi was shocked. This was completely different from Qin Huaijin's confession and Madam Li's testimony. Madam Li admitted that she had been raped by Qin Huaijin and Suxin was a witness. In Qin Huaijin's confession, Suxin used that incident to threaten him and he pushed Suxin off the cliff in anger. However, in Shao's words, Qin Huaijin fell in love with Suxin and Suxin accidentally fell off the cliff when she was escaping in a panic. Who is lying?

"Princess? Why don't you say something?" Seeing that Chu Yunxi didn't say anything for a long time, Shao Shi became a little impatient.

Chu Yunxi woke up as if from a dream and asked, "Did Qin Huaijin tell you all this?"

"Yes, that day Huai Jin went up the mountain and didn't come down for a long time. The servant waiting at the foot of the mountain felt something was wrong, so he went up the mountain to look for him. As a result, he found Huai Jin covered in blood just climbing up from the bottom of the cliff. The servant hurried back to call for help. I was scared and went to the mountain to pick up Huai Jin myself. At that time, Huai Jin even begged me to take people down the mountain to look for the girl, but it was dark at that time and the cliff was very deep. Where could we find someone? If we waited until the next day, even if we found her, it would only be a corpse. So in the end we didn't go. Huai Jin was unhappy for many days and was always worried about it."

Chu Yunxi heard this, took out Qin Huaijin's confession and handed it to Shao, "Second Madam, take a look at this first."

Shao took the confession letter suspiciously, and her face changed drastically after reading it. She said anxiously, "Impossible, this must be written by someone pretending to be Huai Jin's handwriting. Huai Jin has never touched that Madam Li, and has never been blackmailed by Su Xin. This letter must be fake."

Chu Yunxi said coldly: "But we asked someone to look at it, and it was indeed written by the Second Young Master himself, and the maid in the Second Young Master's room also confirmed that the Second Young Master did write a letter and took it with him before he went out that night."

"No, no, no," Shao said three times in a row. She stood up and circled in the room like a trapped beast. "No, although this is indeed Huai Jin's handwriting, the things written in it are all fictitious. Huai Jin told me that Madam Li was fickle and had an affair with someone. When he said that, he was very disdainful of this woman. How could he touch her? Moreover, I know my child. He definitely doesn't have the courage to kill anyone. Princess, think about it," she seemed to have thought of something. She stood in front of Chu Yunxi and stared into Chu Yunxi's eyes. "If Huai Jin pushed that girl off the cliff, why did he fall down himself?"

What she said did make sense. Chu Yunxi took the confession letter and said, "We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Second Madam, do you have anything else to say about this case?"

Shao shook her head. "I don't know what happened that night. I don't know when Huai Jin went out, so I don't know what happened. But Princess, Huai Jin died unjustly. Princess, you must find the murderer and bring him to justice. Our Qin family will be grateful."

As she spoke, she started to cry again. Chu Yunxi felt sorry for her as a poor mother who had lost her son, so her voice softened. "Don't worry, Madam. We will get to the bottom of this matter."

After Shao left, Chu Yunxi kept staring at the confession letter and reading it over and over again. When Xiao Mubei came in, he saw her staring at the paper on the table. He leaned over to take a look and found that Chu Yunxi was looking at the back of the paper.

"What are you looking at? So focused." Xiao Mubei sat down opposite her.

Chu Yunxi pointed at some concave spots on the paper and asked, "Your Majesty, look, what are these?"

Xiao Mubei leaned forward to take a closer look and said nonchalantly, "Did something hit you?"

"Gravel?" Chu Yunxi looked up at him.

Xiao Mubei looked at it again, "Look, has this piece of paper ever fallen on the ground?"

Chu Yunxi turned over the paper, and Xiao Mubei saw that it was Qin Huaijin's confession. Chu Yunxi said, "When Qin Huaijin threw this confession out, it was in an envelope. After it came into our hands, we put it in an envelope every time we read it. If it fell on the ground and got sand on it, it should be on the envelope, but now the sand marks are on the back of the letter. Your Majesty, why do you think this is?"
