Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World

"Madam Liu, do you suspect the second young master? I wonder if you have any solid evidence?" Jiang Shen had a faint smile on his face, staring at Madam Liu with a seemingly casual yet sharp gaze. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an elusive expression.

Madam Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief while sobbing and complaining, "This morning, Qingmu went to the master's room before going out to pick up the bride. But who knew that the master died mysteriously shortly after he came back. Doesn't this explain something?" The more she spoke, the more heartbroken she became, and her crying became more and more sad.

Then, Madam Liu seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. She stopped crying and added with sobs, "Also, Lan Cui once told me in person that when the incident happened, she saw with her own eyes a man who looked very similar to Qingmu hurriedly coming out from the back of the bridal chamber." At this point, Madam Liu covered her face and cried again. Her appearance was really pitiful.

Madam Liu's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone present began to whisper and discuss. Everyone's eyes were cast at the same time towards Liu Qingmu standing aside, their eyes full of doubt and blame.

After all, even Madam Liu, the biological mother, came forward to identify her own child, so it was naturally difficult for others to trust Liu Qingmu.

At this moment, the smile on Jiang Shen's face became more and more playful. He slowly turned his head and shifted his gaze to Liu Qingmu. In a low and slightly oppressive voice, he asked, "Second Young Master, do you have anything to say in your defense about this matter?"

At the same time, Lin Qi, who had been silently beside Jiang Shen, felt his heart tighten and he involuntarily turned his gaze to Liu Qingmu.

He did not think that Liu Qingmu was the murderer. Instead, Mrs. Liu was a great suspect. After all, she was too impatient and kept trying to push the blame onto Liu Qingmu.

A heartbreaking look of sadness slowly emerged on Liu Qingmu's face, which had always been handsome and elegant.

He shook his head slightly, a bitter smile playing on his lips. Then, with a slightly mocking and helpless tone, he said with a wry smile, "Mother, why are you so anxious to convict me? Could it be that you have something to hide?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu's delicate body trembled violently. Her originally calm expression instantly became distorted, and she let out a sharp, piercing cry: "You unfilial son, how dare you slander me! This is simply treasonous!"

However, in the face of Madam Liu's angry rebuke, Liu Qingmu just glanced at her indifferently, and then turned his gaze to the maid named Qiyun standing behind Madam Liu.

His eyes were as calm as water, but there seemed to be an invisible pressure in them, which made Qiyun lower his head involuntarily.

Liu Qingmu said softly, "Qiyun, now that things have come to this, just tell the truth."

Qiyun's body trembled even more violently upon hearing this. She first glanced up at Madam Liu with trepidation, but seeing her glaring at her fiercely, she quickly lowered her head in fear.

But after hesitating for a moment, she finally plucked up her courage and walked quickly in front of everyone.

Qi Yun came to the front of the crowd and took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he spoke to Jiang Shen, who had been silent all the time, "The real murderer is actually the Madam. That night, Lan Cui accidentally heard the Madam and the Master arguing fiercely in the room, and she also witnessed the Madam hitting the Master..."

Having said this, Qi Yun paused, secretly looking up to observe the reactions of those around him, and then continued, "Later, Lan Cui was afraid that this matter would be known by the Madam and bring about her own death, so she secretly came to me and asked me to help her with a plan. But who could have imagined that the Madam would be so cruel and ruthless. Not only did she quickly kill him, she also tried to throw this dirty water on the Second Young Master!"

As soon as Qiyun said this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"You're talking nonsense! Did that bastard Liu Qingmu bribe you? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Liu no longer cared about her usual dignified manners and the demeanor of a lady. She stretched out her hands with an angry face, grabbed Qiyun's collar tightly, and shook him back and forth vigorously.

"Mother! What are you doing?" Seeing his mother's loss of composure, Liu Xuanying hurried forward and supported the staggering Madam Liu. At the same time, he turned to Qiyun and shouted, "You daring and shameless slave! How dare you speak nonsense here! My mother has always been virtuous, gentle and kind. How could she do such a heinous thing!"

Qi Yun was frightened by Liu Xuanying's fierce gaze and trembled all over. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. She sobbed and said, "Third Young Master, please understand! Every word this servant said is true. There is absolutely no lie! Shortly after the Second Young Master went to see the master that day, the mistress followed him into the study. And since the mistress left, no one has entered the study since then. So the mistress...she was the last person to see the master!"

Although Qi Yun spoke sincerely, Liu Xuanying still found it hard to believe this fact.

In his memory, his father and mother had always been a loving couple who treated each other with respect and treated each other with equal dignity. Even during their recent argument over the concubine, his mother hadn't reacted too violently or to an extreme degree. So why would she suddenly take such a cruel action against his father?

At this moment, Madam Liu sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! You're such a clueless little girl! I'm sure you've already been taken in by Liu Qingmu. And now you're lying here, trying to slander me! You deserve to be killed!"

"Marshal Jiang! This bitch has been bribed by him a long time ago, and they have colluded with each other to frame me! You have to stand up for me!" Madam Liu cried with tears in her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Shen who was sitting in the main seat with hopeful eyes.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Shen did not respond to her immediately as Madam Liu wished.

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze with interest to the silent Liu Rongxun. A half-smile hung on his face, and he said slowly, "Master, the big show in your mansion today really opened my eyes. I wonder what you think?"

Facing Jiang Shen's question, Liu Rongxun remained silent, standing there quietly like a sculpture.

After a long while, he slowly raised his eyelids and glanced coldly at the terrified Madam Liu. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he turned to Jiang Shen and said softly, "The Marshal must have already made up his mind. Why bother asking for my opinion?"
