The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 185 Abandonment
"The butler will give you two quarters of an hour to check all the people who just came in here." The third prince said in a cold tone, his eyes revealing majesty and determination. He looked at the butler, and a gleam of unquestionable light flashed in his eyes.
The guards beside him quickly brought a chair and placed it behind the Third Prince. The Third Prince sat down gracefully, crossed his legs, and naturally placed his hands on the armrests, showing a noble and confident posture.
After receiving the order, the butler immediately took action. He questioned each servant one by one, and learned about their whereabouts and experiences in detail. At the same time, he also asked the servants to report on each other, trying to find any clues that might be related to the case.
After an intense investigation, they finally found a poor servant. This servant was the one who led Jiang Qiao here before. However, what was puzzling was that because of Cao Yuwen's testimony just now, the servant's words were full of loopholes.
Faced with such a complicated situation, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Who was lying? Was it Cao Yuwen or the servant? Or were there other secrets that had not yet been discovered? All of this made the situation more complicated and unpredictable.
At this time, the focus returned to Jiang Qiao again. Although he was a little nervous inside, Jiang Qiao still remained calm on the surface.
Seeing that Jiang Qiao and Cao Yuwen were both unusually calm, everyone chose to believe that what they said was true.
"Tell me the truth, what is your purpose here?" the housekeeper shouted sternly. The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over, knelt down on the ground, and cast a glance at Liu Yi's servant in the crowd.
He replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, it was Master Liu's servant who asked me to bring Master Jiang here, but we met Master Cao on the way, and Jiang Qiao no longer followed me."
He knew in his heart that even if he told the truth, the people present might not believe him. In this case, he simply followed Jiang Qiao's words.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the servant, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Jiang Qiao stood aside with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
But Liu Yi was a little panicked at this time. His eyes were full of anger. He glared at the man kneeling on the ground fiercely and shouted: "You idiot! You are talking nonsense here! My servant has been with me all the time and has never left! He just went back to the carriage to get some things. When did he have time to tell you to do these things? It's absolute nonsense!" Liu Yi's words made everyone present know that he was clearly shirking responsibility and trying to cover up the truth.
"It was him, it was Mr. Liu's servant who told me to do this, and he also rewarded me with a silver ingot as a reward!" After saying that, the man took out a glittering silver ingot from his arms and showed it to everyone.
The Third Prince finally realized what was going on. He realized that all this was probably a conspiracy carefully planned by Liu Yi to frame others, but in the end, the other party saw through it and turned the tables. However, the Third Prince did not want to offend either Liu Yi or Jiang Qiao. So, he turned his head and looked at the guard beside him. The guard understood what he meant and walked forward, kicking Liu Yi's servant without hesitation, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Yi was very anxious. He knew that the Third Prince was going to attack his men. He looked at his servant and shouted angrily, "Tell the truth! Why do you want to hurt others? I have been very kind to you and even taken care of your family. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, his servant turned pale with fear, and hurriedly crawled to the ground, begging bitterly.
"Master, I'm sorry! I really can't stand seeing Jiang Qiao being so rude to you. You are so nice to him every day, but he always looks ungrateful. I am so angry that I just wanted him to suffer a little today, but I didn't expect him to escape today." Liu Yi's servant glared at Jiang Qiao with gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
He knew that he had no chance of survival this time, but before he died, he had to make sure that the young master could take good care of his family. So, he kowtowed heavily to Liu Yi: "Young master, I am sorry for you today. I know I deserve death. But please consider my loyalty and treat my family well."
The servant's voice was full of determination and tragedy, which moved everyone. However, before everyone could react, he suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his arms and stabbed it into his stomach without hesitation. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone retreated in horror, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The boy covered his stomach and slowly fell to the ground, unable to move. His eyes gradually lost their luster, as if his life was gradually slipping away. The whole scene fell into a dead silence, with only the bright red bloodstains spreading on the ground, reminding everyone of what had just happened.
The Third Prince looked at what was happening in front of him, and said gloomily, "Since the culprit has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, let's end this matter here." His eyes swept coldly over everyone present, as if he wanted to see through them all. Then, he turned his head and stared straight at Lin Yuqing, but there was no warmth in his eyes. Lin Yuqing was frightened by his eyes and trembled all over, not daring to resist any more. She clearly understood that the Third Prince was using his actions to warn her. If she dared to make any small moves again, the consequences would be disastrous.
