There was an exquisite sachet hanging around Chen Youcai's waist, which shone with golden light in the sunlight. It was the Qian family's unique gold brocade.

Chen Youcai hurriedly pulled off the sachet and explained, "I bought this at the Qian family shop."

Qin Miaoxi chuckled, "Mr. Chen, can you tell me which textile company this is from? Woven gold brocade is a tribute to the palace and is not allowed to be sold on the market!"

Chen Youcai was shocked and hesitated for a long time before he said with a pale face: "Yes, Miss Qian gave it to me."

"Why did Miss Qian give you the precious brocade?"

Chen Youcai glanced around, "Miss Qian encountered some gangsters before, and I happened to pass by and helped her drive them away. Miss Qian gave me this as a token of gratitude."

"So Mr. Chen knows Miss Qian?"

There seemed to be a crisp sound of being slapped in the face. Chen Youcai blushed and muttered, "I... I knew them, but I didn't kill them."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes flashed, "Then who did you kill?"

Chen Youcai lost all color in an instant, his mind went blank, and his trembling lips made him unable to speak.

At this time, Wen Shibin spoke up, "This is the court. Sir Liang, how can you let a woman speak without purpose in the court?"

Liang Hongkai laughed dryly twice, not knowing how to respond, while Qin Miaoxi looked at him with a half-smile, "Master Wen, are you so anxious? Are you afraid that my daughter will expose you?"

Wen Shibin pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Qin Miaoxi sneered, "Master Wen's clothes must also come from the Qian family!"

He said righteously, "I indeed bought this at the Qian family shop."

Qin Miaoxi nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is indeed the goods from the Qian family shop."

Wen Shibin immediately showed a proud look, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, she changed the subject and said in a resounding voice, "But this is the Qian family's treasure, and it is not for sale to outsiders."

She paused and continued, "Even the prince couldn't buy the clothes, I wonder how Master Wen got them?"

Wen Shibin was speechless after being questioned, "Does she know about our relationship with the Qian family?"

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, and her expression became serious. "Why did Miss Qian give the Wen family this treasure?"

Wen Shibin was horrified, looking at Qin Miaoxi as if she were a monster. He quickly asked Liang Hongkai, "Sir Liang, if you can't produce evidence that we killed someone, then let us go."

Chen Youcai echoed repeatedly: "That's right, you have no right to detain us."

The two seemed angry, but more frustrated.

"This...Xiao Qin, do you have any evidence?"

Liang Hongkai asked in a low voice, he couldn't afford to offend any of these people.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were deep, and she pretended to be mysterious and said, "Don't be anxious. Only by taking it step by step can we find the evidence. What do you think, young marquis?"

Lu Qingchen nodded as if to say something, "Since there is suspicion, you must cooperate with the government investigation. This marquis is willing to do that."

Chen Youcai and Wen Shibin's expressions froze for a moment, "Young Marquis!"

Lu Qingchen waved his hand to ask the two to calm down, "Don't you want to leave early?"

They fell silent upon hearing this. Among the three, this seemingly cynical young marquis had absolute say.

Without waiting for Qin Miaoxi to speak, Lu Qingchen explained himself: "Half a year ago, this marquis ordered a batch of cloud and mist silk from the Qian family."

As he spoke, he took out a plum blossom-shaped gold nugget from his waist and explained, "This is a token of love Miss Qian gave me."

Liang Hongkai became excited again and tugged at Qin Miaoxi's sleeve. "Look, they have a token of love. This is a murder of passion."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

She pulled back her sleeve in disgust and was about to warn him, but she heard Lu Qingchen's displeased voice.

"Who? You said this is a token of love?" He stood up angrily, his brow furrowed, and shouted in frustration, "Call someone here to confront me face to face."

It’s okay to question his character, but it’s absolutely not okay to question his taste.

"Everyone is dead, how can we confront each other?" Liang Hongkai murmured dissatisfiedly, obviously believing more in the rumors in the market.

Lu Qingchen's face flushed with anger. [How could this duke be interested in a married woman? The one I'm flirting with is clearly Chen Youcai.]

Qin Miaoxi's heart trembled, and her eyes fell on Chen Youcai, the seemingly inconspicuous man with greasy hair and powdered face.

Liang Hongkai felt guilty when he was stared at by him, and subconsciously looked at Qin Miaoxi, but saw that she shook her head slightly at him, and his heart instantly sank.

Qin girl has always had a keen eye for people. It seems that the young marquis and the girl from the Qian family really have no ambiguous relationship.

It's over, it's over! Having offended the young marquis this time, how can he have a good life in the rest of his life?

Just as he was lost in thought, Qin Miaoxi suddenly asked a shocking question: "Why did you appear in the village outside the village yesterday?"
