He suddenly jumped up from his seat and looked at the Crown Prince in front of him in horror.

Your Highness the Crown Prince, can't you tolerate this for even a moment?

He quickly stood up and bowed, wanting to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit in the main seat.

Xu Jinghuai didn't move, but looked at him coldly, "Master Liu, how long are you going to delay this?"

Lord Liu was stunned.

He hesitated, "I wonder what your Highness means?"

"Sir Liu, since you already know the outcome of the case, why don't you announce the case that concerns the whole country?" Xu Jinghuai said with a sneer on his lips, but the sneer was serious and earnest.

"I am giving you a chance to sever ties with the past. Are you willing to seize it?"

Lord Liu was shocked. He looked up at Xu Jinghuai, who was much taller than him.

Looking at the inquiry and seriousness in Xu Jinghuai's eyes.

He realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually knew what he was thinking, and also understood his current predicament.

He had long been unwilling to have anything to do with the eldest prince's party, but he dared not cut ties with them. However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally promised not to pursue the past and not to pursue those past handles, then the natural choice would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xu Jinghuai!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and brave, always keeps his word, is open and honest, and is a future lord who can be trusted.

But His Royal Highness Prince Ye, Xu Jingye, always made him extremely uneasy, and made him feel that he would sooner or later become his abandoned pawn.

Ever since.

He looked at Xu Jinghuai firmly and said, "Yes, I am willing. I will follow Your Highness until death."

Xu Jinghuai hummed and looked at him deeply again.

"You don't have to say you'll follow me till death, but I've promised to forgive the past, and that's the truth."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Not a word was said about the case, yet every word was about the case.

After Xu Jinghuai left, Lord Liu did not dare to delay any longer and quickly ordered his subordinates to organize and summarize the case and make it public today.

At this time, seven days had passed since the fire in He Mansion.

Xu Jingye had already returned to Fenglin City to continue his plans.

Xu Yichen also returned to his Lingxiu City and continued to be the carefree and leisurely prince he was.

But the prince is still teased by the citizens and admired by the women in the city.

But the women knew in their hearts that no matter how much they admired the prince, no matter how tenderly he smiled at them, no woman in this world could enter his heart.

And what kind of woman does the prince like?

No one knows about it.

All I know is that my prince, who is as elegant as a flower or a jade tree, always likes to go to Lingxu Lake and Wen's Liuli Villa when he has nothing to do.

Again, no one knows why.

Tianze Capital.

When the details of the He Mansion fire were announced, Yan Yunshu was basking in the sun and taking a nap in the yard.

For some reason, she has been particularly sleepy these days.

Even when the secret guard came and told her about the outcome of the case, she couldn't muster much energy.

Xiulian kept chattering in his ear until the secret guard left.

"It turns out the arsonist is from General He's compound!"

"Don't you dare to talk about my daughter again..."

Yan Yunshu finally woke up completely.

"Has the arson case been resolved?"

"Yes!" Xiulian happily took Yan Yunshu's hand and massaged her. "Miss, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have both found out that the fire in General He's courtyard had nothing to do with anyone else. It was all caused by the servants in the courtyard."

A servant in the courtyard?

Yan Yunshu covered her forehead and tried hard to recall the past, and then she remembered the maid who was seriously injured and was in the same main house with General He.

She had anticipated that the maid was General He's retreat.

Unexpectedly, this retreat actually comes in handy now.

"Xiu Lian, did the publicly released verdict specify that it was the servants who did it?"

"That's not the case, young lady. The inference says that all the witnesses and evidence point to the arsonist being someone who was in General He's main room that night. They didn't specify who it was. I said it was a maid, but that's just my guess, and it's also the guess of the world."

Yan Yunshu chuckled, "Since everyone in the main house is a suspect, why exclude General He himself?"

"This..." Xiulian was surprised. She looked at Yan Yunshu in disbelief, "Miss, how could General He burn down his own yard? That doesn't make sense! After all..."

"It's your own yard after all, right?"

Yan Yunshu stood up and gently stroked the little radish in her arms.

The little carrot struggled to get into her arms.

"Perhaps General He thought so. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a rabbit."

When he said this, Little Radish shivered violently and struggled even harder to get into her arms.

Yan Yunshu burst out laughing. She patted Little Radish on the back and coaxed her, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't abandon you, Little Radish."

Little Radish obviously didn't listen and was still trying hard to drill.

Yan Yunshu smiled helplessly and said to Xiulian, "Prepare the sweetest and most delicious carrots for Xiaoluo Luobo later."

Little Carrot's ears stood up, and the whole rabbit finally relaxed.

Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. She placed the little carrot on the recliner and felt sleepiness coming back. She shook her head and was about to take a sip of tea to wake herself up.

Yan Yunyi ran towards the gate of the courtyard in a hurry.

"Shu'er, Shu'er, Shu..."

"what happened?"

Yan Yunshu looked at the breathless Yan Yunyi and was very puzzled.

I'm afraid he's not going to tell me about the case, so there's no need to be so anxious.

"I know everything..." Yan Yunshu hadn't finished speaking.

Yan Yunyi started talking to himself non-stop, like shaking a sieve.

"Shu'er! The Ministry of Justice also announced a strange detail. Do you know what it is? It's that they found a jade pendant in the courtyard that General He burned down that day!"

"Hmm?" Yan Yunshu was thinking, could it be Mo Nianci's jade pendant?

Yan Yunyi continued.

"Sister, you will never imagine that the jade pendant actually belongs to Mo Nianci, the Crown Prince of Hansha! Moreover! Moreover! Because this matter involves an enemy country and concerns General He's reputation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even specially issued a notice... The notice said... Ahem, wait for me, I'll have a cup of tea first. Xiulian, where's the tea, tea..."

Yan Yunshu saw that Yan Yunyi stopped talking about the key point and was furious. She took the tea that Xiulian handed to Yan Yunyi with a serious expression.

"You can drink only after you finish speaking."

Yan Yunyi looked at the cup of tea eagerly and licked his lips.

"The content of the notice is basically that it is true that the jade pendant was held by General He, and it is also true that the jade pendant belonged to the Crown Prince Mo Nianci of Hansha Country, but General He did not collaborate with the enemy. It was because of this jade pendant that he achieved military merit."

Yan Yunshu was silent for a moment and handed the tea to Yan Yunyi.

Yan Yunyi quickly drank it all in one gulp.

"Sister, aren't you curious why this jade pendant has such military merit?"
