Chapter 123: Jealous Women

Cai Yixue couldn't help but become stunned. She also saw Sun Jing's case file. However, the alibi was too strong, making her think that Sun Jing might not be the culprit.

But, not only did Jia Hao break their perfect alibi, he even made him confess on the spot. Cai Yixue couldn't help but admire his ability.

" I see, I also suspected that Cui Bang and Sun Jing are the murderers. However, there wasn't any solid evidence regarding them."

" But, he actually used his logic to make Sun Jing falter and give contradicting answers, making his lie exposed." Cia Yixue mumbled.

" Haaah. Didn't Lingzhi say Jia Hao appeared to be injured and lost his memories? How can he adjust...so well?"

" Hehe, Young Lord is simply too enigmatic." Minmin pursed her lips. " As long as he says he can do it, he will do it perfectly."

" Then let's go. I need to talk to him about this." Cai Yixue got up and walked with Minmin to Jia Hao's room.

" Huh? Jia Hao's isn't here?" Cai Yixue was surprised when she heard the maid.

" You are saying a woman from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion invited him out?" Minmin was annoyed as she asked again. " Was she beautiful? Was a courtesan?"

" No, Sister Min, She looked like a maid. However, judging from her attire, her status as maid must be very high."

" Retainer of a high ranking woman in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion..." Cai Yixue thought for a moment before understanding. " Could it be... Xu Chenlan?"

" Damn it, That little vixen." Minmin couldn't help but clench her teeth. " Young Miss, should we go and..."

" Leave it... I still have some trust in Jia Hao." Cai Yixue replied. " Let him come back and explain it to me."

Meanwhile, when Jia Hao reached the market area, the maid escorted him to a small restaurant.

Jia Hao walked inside and saw a familiar person. He was none other than Wu Qingshu, the overseer of Divine Martial Hall.

" Haha, It's good to see you, lad." Wu Qingshu looked at Jia Hao and grinned. " Come, Sit here."

' I thought it was Xu Chenlan?' Jia Hao became confused for a moment before nodding, sitting before Wu Qingshu.

" Thanks to you, we managed to find the fugitive of Xu Family secretly detained by the Shen Family." Wu Qingshu chuckled. " As I was escorting him back to Imperial Capital, someone requested to meet the prisoner."

" Therefore, I am here. I shall only give you half an incense stick of time. After that, we shall depart."

Jia Hao realized what happened. ' Ah, the Shen Family detained Xu Chenlan's brother, using this chance to assault her. I gave the tip to Wu Qingshu in exchange for helping to catch the Moonlight Rapist.'

With a nod, Jia Hao walked the upstairs and entered the private room.

" Sister! I am such an unfilial bastard! Please, don't let me live!"

" Elder brother! Have you lost your mind?"

A fight between a helpless man and the sobbing of a young woman filled Jia Hao's ears. As he stepped in, Xu Chenlan adjusted herself as she looked at Jia Hao.

" Welcome, Young Master Jia. I am glad that you accepted my invitation." Xu Chenlan bowed politely, her voice sweet as ever.

" This is my elder brother, Xu Chengan. Thank you for saving him from the Shen Family's clutches."

Xu Chengan sat silently, looking at Jia Hao with a complicated expression. Perhaps he knew what sort of deal Xu Chenlan made with Jia Hao to let him escape.

Jia Hao was surprised when Xu Chenlan handed the pendant to him. " Why are you giving this to me? It's something you should keep safe."

"Precisely because I can't keep it safe, I am giving it to you." Xu Chenlan nodded. " I don't know if there are any moles in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. So, I can only entrust this item to you."

" Saying this, Even I don't know the secret of this pendant. If Young Lord finds me, I hope he helps me to regain my family's honor."

Jia Hao held the pendant as he gave a nod. " Alright, I shall see what I can do."

" Then, I shall take my leave, Young Lord." Xu Chenlan turned around to leave.

" Besides, Having a wife like Cai Yixue, I believe Young Master doesn't neet to come to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion often."

' Wh-What?' Jia Hao became speechless when he heard that. ' Are you jealous?'

' Hehe, Do you want me to come to you often or not come at all? Why are you so complicated?'

Jia Hao sighed as he threw the pendant into his pot. As he returned back to the Cai Family estate, He felt a cold gush of air.

" Welcome back, Husband."

" Umm...Wife?" Jia Hao's face twitched when he saw Cai Yixue's smile.

" So, How was your visit? I hope the woman from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion indulged you."

" Wife, That's not what happened." Jia Hao hurriedly replied. " Listen to me."

" No, I don't want to hear any explanation. Didn't I gave you permission to chase other women? Go, go ahead and do it."

' But, didn't you say you trust him and wanted to hear what he has to say?' Minmin tried to say it, but she swallowed her words in the end.

When the evening fell, Cia Yunhai asked Jia Hao to meet him.

" I have to admit it, Your brain is very sharp." Cai Yunhai couldn't help but chuckle.

" Father in law is overpraising me." Jia Hao smiled lightly as he bowed.

" Where is my wine?"

" Huh?"

" I already praised you, shouldn't you get it?"

Jia Hao couldn't help but be speechless. " Father in law. I don't have any wine on me at this moment."

" What?" Cai Yunhai couldn't help but sigh in frustration. " Haah, I was waiting for it, yet you...Sigh, Anyway, I am glad that you helped me today."

" Thanks to you, the burden on me lessened quite a lot. And, Black Bear Gang also admitted their mistake. But due to some reasons, we aren't making a fuss out of it."

" Is that so?" Jia Hao nodded.

" I heard you want to set up a food business. Are you sure?"

" Of course, Father in Law. I believe it would be a good source of our income." Jia Hao spoke with a mild smile. " After all, the things we can provide aren't something others can also."

" Then, Let me ask you something." Cai Yunhai looked at him. " Why do you think I became Magistrate?"
