Chapter 74 A Shocking Reversal (1)
"Changge——" Baili Jing called out suddenly, and then said with a serious face: "The third younger brother was indeed seriously ill and died back then. I can testify to this."

When Baili Changge heard the words, she immediately shut up. Many years ago, she also mentioned the third master several times, but every time Baili Jing heard the word "third master", his expression was terribly gloomy. It wasn't for Ye Hen's presence, she believed that Baili Jing would be angry.

The third master, Baili Pavilion, has always been a taboo in Baili Jing's heart, and it is also a taboo that no one in the mansion should mention.

The drizzle gradually stopped, and the raindrops from the eaves fell on the window lattice, making a crisp ticking sound, and the night was like a heavy black brocade covering its hood, covering all right and wrong, all grievances and grievances in the world of mortals.

The third lady's fingers covered in plain sleeves were as cold as water, and they spasmed slightly. The line of her lips was the same color as her face, and there was no red tide.

After a long time, mist quickly gathered in her eyes, which gradually gained focus, and a few stars were illuminated by the light. She turned her eyes lightly and shifted her gaze to Fu Qingyun. His gaze was as indifferent as if he was treating a stranger he met for the first time, and in those dark eyes, it seemed that he was suppressing the storm that was about to engulf him. It was anger and resentment, but there was no pity at all.

At this moment, she finally got the answer.

Slowly closing his eyes, Wen Shi knelt down on the ground with a plop, his already pale complexion turned a little ashen, "I'm guilty of killing Shaoqing, please punish the prince and the prince." After speaking, he slammed his forehead on the ground , When he got up again, there was blood oozing from his forehead.

"You—" Bai Lijing's face was livid, he was too angry to speak, and pointed at Wen Shi with trembling fingers, but he didn't even say what he wanted to scold her. Like a raging fire.

"My lord, since the real murderer has pleaded guilty, I will take her back to the yamen to sign and pledge, waiting for disposal." After eating the last handful of melon seeds in his hand, Yuan Guanghao stood up and asked Ye Hen for instructions.

Ye Hen's slender and white fingers twirled around the rim of the cup, neither saying yes nor no.

Yuan Guanghao thought he didn't hear, so he asked for instructions again.

"Take it back!" Ye Hen raised his head lightly, and when he met the despairing gaze of the third lady, something flickered in his eyes.

"Before I leave, can my lord allow me half a quarter of an hour to put incense on Shaoqing's spiritual tablet?" Gradually regaining some sanity, the third lady bit her lower lip lightly, her voice hoarse.

"Yeah." Ye Hen responded and didn't speak again.

Yuan Guanghao took two officials and accompanied the third lady to the ancestral hall.

Only Fu Qingyun, Ye Hen, Baili Changge and Baili Jing were left in the hall.

"Brother Qingyun, the man in black I saw that night was you, right?" I didn't intend to involve him, but in the face of Shaoqing's death, Baili Changge couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, let alone all kinds of things. There are indications that Fu Qingyun did come to Qiufeng Garden that night.

"Yes." Fu Qingyun turned her head and confessed.

"So in fact, you knew that the second master was arrested early on, and you also knew that I was hiding behind the stone table and playing this scene with the third lady, just to lure me in, and then help her prove that Shaoqing was still safe and sound at that time, Is that so?" Baili Changge stared at him, the trust that had been built up over the past ten years was like an ice cube that had been hit hard and cracked silently.

"Changge, I'm sorry." Fu Qingyun lowered her eyes, and her slender eyelashes cast a sad shadow on his handsome face, "The third lady threatened Shaoqing's life. I had to cooperate with her at that time."
