20demayo Chapter 741 Murderer?
Chapter 741 Murderer?
"Mo'er has been quiet since she was young, as you know. Only my cousin can help her stand up for justice." Zhang Yurou sneered, "Haven't you heard that the emperor dotes on the queen very much? Whatever the queen wants, the emperor will grant it. If her brother wants a woman, as long as the queen asks, the emperor doesn't care. Sigh! Now you understand the truth that one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family!"
She just couldn't help but be angry about why Xie Shang liked Jiang Fenghua so much. Was it just because she was pretty?
in those days……
Shu Xue's eyes were full of courtesy, "Princess, don't be angry. They will be punished for what they did to your cousin. You should make plans for your cousin. It's her own fault."
Zhang Yurou didn't say anything, still regretting the past. If she had married Xie Shang, she would be very successful now.
She sighed again, what a pity...
Shu Xue didn't know what she was thinking, and continued, "But think about it carefully, your cousin is also smart. She has no parents to support her, and her grandparents who loved her the most have passed away. She finally married into the Jiang family. Now she is not only the wife of the Marquis, but also the wife of the Shangshu. With such a good life, even if her husband really marries ten or eight concubines, she must endure it. If she makes too much trouble and loses her husband's heart, she will not have a good life."
Shu Xue felt that Zhang Yumo was the smart one. Why would she make a fuss if she didn't try to win over a husband like him?
In the past, she thought that she was marrying the son of the Minister of War, and that she would have a good life regardless of his character. Even though Li Cheng was only a small captain in the military camp, and it was only because of his father's intercession that he became a captain, her life would still be easy.
I didn't expect Li Cheng to be such a useless thing.
Shu Xue said: "If I can marry a man like Jiang Jinyan, I would be willing to do it no matter if I am his mistress or his concubine."
"The Jiang family is truly the new nobles of Shengjing City! Queen Jiang is so beautiful, which man doesn't like beautiful women? It's no wonder that the emperor is bewitched by her..."
Zhang Yurou suddenly said, "You sit down first. I'm going to the toilet first. I got a stomachache from eating in the palace today."
Why does everyone think Jiang Fenghua is beautiful? No matter how beautiful a face is, it will age one day and be abandoned by men. Humph! What's so great about her? Xie Shang liked Su Tingwan at first, but what happened later? He got tired of her. Jiang Fenghua would also be abandoned by Xie Shang if she was late.
Only when Zhang Yurou came back, she found that Shu Xue was no longer in the living room. She thought she had left.
When she returned to the yard, she saw that Shu Xue was controlled by Xie Yang and Shu Shilang. She didn't know what was going on, and they wanted to kill Shu Xue.
Zhang Yurou was so frightened that Xie Yang saw her and brought her directly to Shu Xue.
Shu Xue kept asking her for help, but she had no way to save her. She had never seen Xie Yang so terrifying.
At this time, Zhang Yurou heard the voice of the eunuch: "Please get out of the car, Princess Fourth!"
Zhang Yurou calmed herself down and got off the carriage with a smile on her face. But when she saw the square full of people, her heart skipped a beat and she panicked for a moment.
When she came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she asked the eunuch who picked her up. It was not the emperor who asked her to come. It was Jiang Fenghua who asked her to go to the palace to ask about Yier's studies. Yier had no talent for studying, but Xie Yang insisted on letting her go to the palace to study. What was the point of a girl reading so many books?
She pulled the eunuch aside and asked, "Why did you bring me to the Golden Throne Hall? Didn't the Queen want to see me?"
The young eunuch said, "The Queen is waiting for the Fourth Princess in the Golden Throne Hall. Princess, please come in!"
Zhang Yurou was full of questions and was waiting for her in the Golden Palace. What was she waiting for her to do? Xie Yang said that the emperor was trying a case.
The eunuch shouted, "The fourth princess has arrived."
Zhang Yurou had never been to the Golden Palace before. All eyes were on her. The palace was magnificent and majestic. She couldn't help but straighten her back. Fortunately, she had put on delicate makeup and wore a luxurious dress.
She had a slender waist and walked lightly as she slowly looked in the direction of the dragon throne. Xie Shang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was handsome, majestic, and full of imposing manner.
She thought to herself: She had a good eye for people at the beginning, and the person she liked at first sight became the master of the world.
Jiang Fenghua was granted a seat, and sat next to the emperor. She stared at Zhang Yurou's direction without blinking. Xie Ruoyi was particularly favored today. She was arranged to sit next to Jiang Fenghua, and there were also delicious snacks.
When Zhang Yurou saw her daughter being held in Jiang Fenghua's arms, she instantly lost her composure.
"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant." Zhang Yurou bowed to Xie Shang.
Xie Shang did not ask her to stand up, but asked Wu Xin to bring the tray to him and asked coldly, "Does the Fourth Princess know what this is?"
Zhang Yurou glanced at the earrings on the tray. Aren’t these her earrings? How could they be in the emperor’s hands?
Seeing that she was silent, Xie Shang said to Zhang Anyu, "Prefect Zhang, please explain the origin of this ruby earring!"
Zhang Anyu cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
He walked up to Zhang Yurou and said, "Princess Four, please take a look. Do you recognize this thing?"
Zhang Yurou's eyes rolled around and she didn't dare to speak easily. What did they mean?
Zhang Anyu asked again: "Did the Fourth Princess see it clearly?"
Zhang Yurou looked up and around, as if hundreds of eyes were staring at her. She nodded, "It seems a little familiar, what is this!"
Zhang Anyu said: "This is physical evidence found on the body of the deceased Shu Xue."
Zhang Yurou almost dropped her jaw in shock, and felt as if she had been struck by thunder. "I found this on Shu Xue, why are you showing it to me? I'm not an official handling the case."
Jiang Fenghua took out another ruby earring and asked, "Does the Fourth Princess really have no impression of you?"
She just wanted to shake her head.
At this time, Xie Ruoyi, who was sitting next to Jiang Fenghua, said loudly: "Mother, don't you recognize it? This is mother's earring. Mother said that if you take mother's things to play with, you must put them back to their original place. Mother, I'm sorry, Yi'er didn't mean to play with them. Fifth Aunt has taught Yi'er not to take other people's things casually. Mother is not someone else, so she shouldn't be angry."
Zhang Yurou was completely panicked. How could her earrings be on Shu Xue? There was clearly nothing on them. She hadn't paid much attention to the earrings in the past two days.
She remembered that she wore the pair of ruby earrings on the Lantern Festival. She felt they resembled the plum blossoms in the palace. After returning home, she changed her clothes and took off the earrings.
Jiang Fenghua added: "Please ask the coroner to explain this to the Fourth Princess! The Fourth Princess doesn't seem to recognize her own things."
After hearing this, Zhang Yurou felt like the sky was falling. What was going on?
She knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I really don't know how it got on Shu Xue's body."
Xie Shang said coldly: "Of course you don't know. If you knew, would I still be able to see it presented as physical evidence? This is what the coroner found in Shu Xue's stomach. I have asked someone to check it out. It is a perfect match with the one your daughter is playing with."
