C348 It was him …

It was him.

The corner of Ji Rufeng's mouth curved into a slight smile, and his eyes seemed to flicker with light. "I believe that Crown Prince Xuanyuan and his consort should be clearer than me on exactly how many spies have been planted in the general's estate. Do you think the Crown Princess can fool these spies by making such a big move in the House of the General?

"They originally thought that the Crown Princess was only a weak point, but they forgot that dogs can bite people when they get anxious. Therefore, once the Crown Princess showed herself to them, they would be more cautious. That was why they had to eliminate the roots and leave no unnecessary troubles for themselves. "

Hearing Ji Rufeng's reply, a trace of surprise flashed past Xie Qingrong's heart, he did not expect that his unintentional move, would actually force some people to make a move ahead of time.

[I really want to plant a flower but don't want to plant a willow in the shade!]

"So that's how it is. It seemed that Ji gongzi knew a little about the situation in the General's Estate that day. Does Ji gongzi know that a few days ago, I threw myself into a lake and committed suicide? " Xie Qingrong probed further.

She had already made a guess in her heart, that the servant girl who disappeared must have had some secret connection with Ji Rufeng.

Ji Rufeng clenched the wine cup tightly, as if he didn't know that Xie Qingrong had thrown herself into the lake. [Why did the Crown Princess commit suicide?]

Xie Qingrong carefully studied Ji Rufeng's expression. His expression was natural, and did not seem like he was pretending, but her gaze was placed on Ji Rufeng's hand that was holding the cup, and a few veins seemed to be faintly visible on the back of his hand.

Could it be?

He understood.

"Do you really not know why I threw myself into the lake or are you pretending to not know? If Ji gongzi knows about the small matter of me reorganizing the general's manor, then wouldn't it be illogical for him to jump into the lake and commit suicide? "

"Before I fell into the lake, did Ji gongzi ever find out what happened? How could it make me so dispirited that I felt like I had died?"

Xie Qingrong asked, question after question coming out from him, straight towards Ji Rufeng, wanting to get some useful information out of his mouth.

However, it was extremely difficult to pry open Ji Rufeng's mouth, he could only smile and dispel the pressure Xie Qingrong was getting closer to him, "The questions that the Crown Prince's wife asked, they were coincidental and ingenious. However, I really don't know about that. How can I tell the Crown Princess the answer? "

Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Ji Rufeng indifferently, and waved his hand slightly, as though the wine in the cup would be poured out in the next moment.

"To erase a trace of a person's existence is a very difficult thing to do. Unless this matter has been planned for a long time, there must be traces to follow as long as it exists. "As far as I know, in this world, apart from the Royal Family, only the aristocratic families have the ability to erase all traces of a person's existence."

Xuanyuan Chen vaguely spoke a few words, as if it wasn't related to what they were saying. Then Ji Rufeng asked with a faint smile: "So? What does Crown Prince Xuanyuan want to express? "

"Of the list of names that appeared in the General Xie's Residence, one less maid existed. He sent people to investigate, but was unable to find the whereabouts of this servant girl. " Xuanyuan Chen continued, and slowly opened up the mysterious veil that had been bothering him for a long time.

"A maid has been lost in the great general's manor. Even Prince Xuanyuan was unable to find her whereabouts, so how would I know where she is?" Prince Xuanyuan must have asked the wrong person. " Ji Rufeng laughed.

However, his heart tightened and he sighed.

Xie Qingrong squinted his eyes, the dangerous look in his eyes was concealed, "Chen did not say that Ji gongzi knew the location of the servant girl. The reason Chen and I told Ji gongzi about this was because we wanted to hear some news from him. Ji gongzi's words seems to be a little harsh. "

"Heh." Ji Rufeng sneered, did they really think that he did not know the trap they had set?

Innocent.

Just as he was about to speak, the door to the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.

Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen and Ji Rufeng's gaze all turned towards the door that had been pushed open, only to see a very familiar figure.

"Elder sister doesn't need to ask Brother Rufeng, I was the one who played the maid who appeared in the general's mansion that day." Shang Zhiqing said indifferently as she placed her hands on her shoulders.

Confirming the identity that Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen had always wanted to know, seemed to be an easy task for her.

Xie Qingrong frowned, a cold intent and killing intent flashed in her eyes, Shang Zhiqing was that servant?

The original body and Shang Zhiqing were siblings, why would Shang Zhiqing act as a servant girl to stimulate the original body? If she didn't enter her original body, her original body would have truly died.

What was Shang Zhiqing's goal?

In the next second, Xie Qingrong was already closing in on Shang Zhiqing, with her slightly bent fingers reaching towards Shang Zhiqing's white and slender neck, as though she would lose her life if she used even a little bit of strength.

"What is your purpose?" In Xie Qingrong's heart, there was an instinctive feeling of closeness and trust towards Shang Zhiqing, yet her fingers were slightly clenched. She did not like this kind of uncontrollable emotion.

"Sister and sister are sisters from the same clan, descendants of the Shang clan, how can sister be so timid and weak, unable to bear the responsibility! Arrogant descendant of the Shang family! The reason why my sister has appeared in the General's Estate is because I want her to wake up from my stupor, grow up faster, and take on the heavy responsibility! "

Shang Zhiqing said indifferently, with an indifferent look, as though the hand that was holding her life on her white neck did not exist.

"But, I almost died in that ice-cold lotus pond. Do you know the consequences of your actions? " Xie Qingrong leaned close to Shang Zhiqing and whispered in her ear.

However, the killing intent in his words was obvious.

If it wasn't for him, his body would never have seen the sun again!

Shang Zhiqing suddenly laughed lightly, "But the truth is, I won the bet. Elder sister's current ability and methods are beyond my reach. I believe that in time, my sister will stand at the highest point and look down on all living things. "

"Oh? I didn't know that my sister had such confidence in my sister. If I am unable to fulfill my younger sister's expectations in the future, wouldn't I fail to live up to the good intentions my younger sister had towards me that day? " Xie Qingrong said in confusion.

He truly deserved to be called a talent painstakingly trained by the aristocratic families. His strategy, methods, courage, and temperament were all superior to those of ordinary people.

"I will never be disappointed in my sister." Shang Zhiqing said, the firmness in her words seemed to be extremely touching.

However, Xie Qingrong was filled with disdain in his heart, if it was his original body, she would be so moved that she would not know what to do. After all, in his original body's weak memories, other than her personal servant, Nuan Xiang, no one else treated her with sincerity.
