Chapter 7 A few things about Xiao Qingmei

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyelids, and a bright and beautiful girl wearing an apricot-colored skirt hurried towards her.

Su Qianqian stopped in front of Jiang Wenyu, held her hand affectionately, and asked anxiously:

"Cousin, I heard from His Highness the Crown Prince that you are related to the murder case, are you okay?"

Jiang Wenyu put his hand on hers with a look of sisterly affection:
"I believe that the Jinyiwei adults will definitely restore my innocence. Cousin, don't worry."

She coughed twice, looked at Mrs. Zheng, and said regretfully: "It's just a pity that I can no longer go out to practice medicine to earn money and share the affairs of the house for my aunt."

Mrs. Zheng looked at her pale face and pretended to be concerned: "You are not feeling well, so just give birth and take care of yourself. There is still an aunt in the house."

They kept sucking her blood.

Xie Zhiwei was more kind to the Su family because of his relationship with Jiang Wenyu.

The civil and military officials and even the common people were somewhat afraid of the Jin Yiwei, and were usually very polite to the Su Mansion.

The Su family was living a happy life, getting richer and richer, with no shortage of money or servants, but they wanted to squeeze all the value out of Jiang Wenyu and let her do this and that.

Jiang Wenyu recognized their faces and felt much more relaxed.

She raised a gentle smile: "Yes."

Uncle Su Chengye was by the side and whispered: "Now it is said outside that you killed Lord Lin Qu. Are the Jin Yiwei and Kaifeng Prefecture Yin making things difficult for you?"

Su Qianqian then asked: "The governor of Kaifeng called you over. Did you find the murderer of Master Lin?"

It looks like he is concerned, but in fact he is asking questions.

Jiang Wenyu frowned and sighed.

Su Qianqian's eyebrows narrowed, and she grabbed Jiang Wenyu's fingers and tightened them unconsciously: "No?"

They only care about what she can bring to them and whether it will affect their success.

"It's useless to blame me. Brother Xie has already left the capital."

Jiang Wenyu calmly took out his hand and said guiltily: "The only two taels of silver I have have been handed over. Now I am penniless and can no longer pry for information."

Su Qianqian: "Just two taels, I'll pay for it! Go and find out more."

Jiang Wenyu: "Now there are more than two liang..."

Su Qianqian: "Just tell me how much you want, I have plenty of money!"

Jiang Wenyu said sadly: "Start with a thousand taels."

Zheng and Su Chengye's expressions instantly stiffened.

Starting with a thousand taels is too much!

Su Qianqian was about to say that it was okay, but Mrs. Zheng grabbed her arm first and stopped her behavior.

Su Qianqian had no choice but to suppress her thoughts for the time being.

Zheng smiled and said to Jiang Wenyu: "You are not feeling well. If you can't stay for a long time, go back and have a good rest. Let us discuss the matter of silver. Qin Yue takes the cousin back to the room."

Qin Yue: "Yes." When Jiang Wenyu disappeared, Su Qianqian turned her head and complained with a straight face: "Mom, why did you stop me? His Highness the Crown Prince said that he would take me to see the Queen after Lin Qu's case was over. Empress."

"A thousand taels of silver is too much." Zheng frowned and said, "We can only spend ten taels of silver to inquire on our own. Why spend so many taels of silver to inquire about Jin Yiwei."

"No. Bribing court officials with money is a serious crime. It would be too dangerous for us to go there ourselves." Su Qianqian objected, "Besides, Jin Yiwei is investigating the case now, and we can't contact Jin Yiwei."

Su Chengye agreed: "Qianqian is right. This matter is too risky. If she makes a mistake and is caught, Qianqian will not be able to be the crown princess."

"What if Jiang Wenyu really poisoned Lin Qu?" Mrs. Zheng worriedly asked. If the real murderer was Jiang Wenyu, Jiang Wenyu would become a stain on them and they would have to avoid being used as a slander in the future.

Su Qianqian said confidently: "Mom, don't worry. If she really killed her, I still have a way. Let's give the money to Jiang Wenyu first. She has access to Jin Yiwei, and we need to know the progress of this case."

Seeing that her parents were still hesitant, Su Qianqian continued:
"Father and mother, don't worry. Jiang Wenyu is just a helpless orphan. She will be of no use at that time, so we will abandon her like a waste."

If Jiang Wenyu killed her, Su Qianqian would personally take her to the government and make Jiang Wenyu confess. The empress and the court officials would definitely appreciate her heroic act of exterminating relatives.

Wuhou Mansion has complete government buildings, with red walls, green tiles, and jade towers.

Tan Shu leaned against the pillars of the verandah. The scorching sun shone on him, coating him with a soft white edge. The wind blew up his clothes and long hair, and the shiny ink-colored hair rose and fell.

When Shen Huai came back from the morning session, he found Tan Shu looking through the materials. He gave a brief salute and then asked, "What are you looking at, Your Majesty?"

Tan Shu said without raising his eyes: "A few things about Jin Yiwei and his little green plum."

Shen Huai: "...?"

Tan Shu sent people to investigate the past of Jiang Wenyu and Xie Zhiwei, and the more he looked at them, the more he disliked them.

Xie Zhiwei, such a resolute and vicious man, actually called a woman "Yu'er" behind her back!
Jiang Wenyu's grandfather and Xie Zhiwei's father were old acquaintances. After her grandfather passed away, she asked Xie Zhiwei's father to take care of her.

Xie Zhiwei's father was also a Jin Yiwei and was often in danger. In order to protect Jiang Wenyu's safety, they sent her to the Su Mansion, which was also the home of Jiang Wenyu's mother's brother.

Shen Huai put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

Tan Shu: "Say."

Shen Huai asked directly: "Why did that cousin imitate the prince's handwriting?"

Tan Shu's eyebrows moved and he replied casually: "She said she admired me."

The corner of Shen Huai's mouth twitched, and he almost lost his expression.

admire?

Could it be that the Crown Prince has become obsessed with practicing martial arts and is deaf? Looking at the entire capital, which female family member would look up to the Crown Prince?
"Xie Zhi was threatened by His Majesty's order to leave the capital as soon as possible. Even if he was thinking about his children, he would probably turn a blind eye to the case. Jiang Wenyu then thought of a way to drag the prince into trouble. I imitated your handwriting and wrote Show the letter to Xie Zhiwei."

Shen Huai analyzed the current investigation and ideas with Tan Shu.

"Xie Zhiwei is cautious, cold and suspicious. He took the case partly because of his childhood sweetheart, but more probably because he saw the letter and recognized your handwriting, hoping to use it to cause trouble for the prince."

Shen Huai figured it out.

The ambitious Xie Zhiwei knew which was more important: executing the emperor's orders or harming the crown prince. At this critical period, he would not act rashly.Therefore, the whole thing could not be done by Xie Zhiwei to frame Tan Shu.

Shen Huai's heart was like a mirror, he raised his eyes and asked: "What is the purpose of Miss Su's cousin doing so many things...?"
