They even used all sorts of methods to protect him.

"Who killed him?"

She whispered as she pushed her way through the crowd. In the middle of the crowd was a middle-aged man and woman who were both wearing extraordinary clothes. They were sitting at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Residence. They looked haggard and their clothes were wet with tears.

"This is a big matter. The eldest son of the Prime Minister's House killed the second young miss of the Shen family."

"Ah?" "How is this possible!?"

Liu Ruo Qing said in disbelief.

Wang Xuan Ling killed someone? How is this possible!?

Liu Ruo Qing almost thought that she had heard wrongly. She had once met Wang Xuan Ling at longevity palace when she was chatting with her sister-in-law.

Although she couldn't judge a book by its cover, she really couldn't believe that Wang Xuan Ling would kill someone.

Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?

Just as she was surprised, the spectator sneered and said: "How is that impossible, have you seen that Young Master Wang before? Although the Prime Minister Wang is an official, he might not be able to help his godson. Furthermore, this matter was personally admitted by Young Master Wang, how can it be false? "

"Ah?" He admitted it? "

This news once again shocked Liu Ruo Qing.

Wang Xuan Ling admitted it himself. That meant, he really killed someone? Was there really no hidden story?

"That's right, but it's precisely because he's the son of the Prime Minister Wang that the yamen is still unwilling to arrest him. That's why the Master Shen and the Mrs. Shen are kneeling here crying."

Just as the man finished speaking, Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned towards the Shen couple who were kneeling on the ground.

"Yuan Er, my Yuan Er …"

"Yuan Er, come back here. Why did you abandon Mother …"

"Yuan Er, don't worry. Father will definitely help you seek justice …"

"..."

The two of them looked as if they were crying sorrowfully. Even if a passerby were to look at them, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

Although the citizens respected the Prime Minister Wang, they could not agree with him protecting their son. They started to criticize him.

Liu Ruo Qing did not speak, while listening to the people berating the Prime Minister Wang's godson for not knowing his place, she quietly sized up the Shen couple who were kneeling on the ground.

The two of them were crying their hearts out and almost fainted, but Liu Ruo Qing still found a little difference.

The Master Shen was really sad to the point of fainting a few times, and his body was trembling extremely badly from crying.

On the other hand, although Mrs. Shen was crying sorrowfully like her, Liu Ruo Qing still saw some exaggeration in it.

It was as if he was trying his best to act out a play. The true grief he felt could not be seen from her tears.

His own daughter had already died, how could she still have the mood to wail and act here?

Could it be that Mrs. Shen was Miss Shen's stepmother?

No matter how he thought about it, this kind of reasoning made sense.

Liu Ruo Qing left the Prime Minister's Residence in doubt. This matter involved the nephew of Empress Mother's sister-in-law, so it would definitely alarm Kaiser.

If he wanted to know more, he should not listen to these people's hearsay.

"This Master Shen really has nothing to say to Second Miss Shen. Although she is just a burden brought here by Mrs. Shen, she truly is treated as her own daughter."

Yes, but, that Mrs. Shen is strange, she treats her own daughter badly, I heard from my relatives in the Shen Mansion that they often saw the Mrs. Shen scolding Second Young Miss Shen, and their actions were not light, it was Miss Shen and the Master Shen that saw this, which was why they stopped her.

"Is that so? This Mrs. Shen is truly not human, just now, seeing her crying so sorrowfully, I really did not know that she was this kind of person … "

On the way back to King Jing Palace, Liu Ruo Qing had heard quite a few people talking about Shen Cangfu. Sure enough, her judgement just now was not wrong, that Mrs. Shen didn't seem to be sad at all.

Only, she didn't expect that Master Shen was her stepfather and her biological mother.

King Jing Palace —

"Prince, it's time to use the Evening meal."

"Yes."

Putting down the official business in his hands, Yan Yuan got up and walked out of the study. As he was walking to the courtyard, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is the wangfei back yet?"

In order to curry favor with the Kaiser, the woman was very active, running towards the western suburbs everyday.

"The wangfei, she …"

Just as the butler was about to answer, he saw Liu Ruo Qing walking in from outside the door.

"Prince, the wangfei is back."

The butler pointed to the door and said to Yan Yuan.

Just as Liu Ruo Qing stepped through the door, she saw Yan Yuan standing with the butler in the courtyard, looking at her.

When Yan Yuan saw her, an unusual light flashed through his sunken eyes. However, he did not reveal it in front of Liu Ruo Qing.

However, thinking back to what she had told him that he had broken her childhood sweetheart's relationship with his blade, the fire in Yan Yuan's heart started to burn.

Liu Ruo Qing had never realized this. After all, she had made up the story of that childhood sweetheart of hers.

Seeing Yan Yuan, he immediately walked towards him. "Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan, coincidentally, I have something to talk to you about."

She naturally reached out her hand and grabbed Yan Yuan's arm. Her bright eyes flashed with a moving light.

Yan Yuan lowered his eyebrows, and swept a glance at the pair of delicate and boneless hands on his arm.

However, he did not remove Liu Ruo Qing's hand from her arm. Instead, he indifferently opened his mouth and asked: "What is it?"

"It's like this. When I came back just now, I saw …"

Gulp...

Just as Liu Ruo Qing's words were about to reach her mouth, rumbling sounds came from her stomach. It sounded especially sudden between the three of them.

Yan Yuan's gaze swept across her, his tone still indifferent: "Hungry?"

"Hehe, that's right."

She smiled awkwardly and scratched her scalp.

The butler immediately answered dutifully, "Reporting to my royal consort, the Evening meal are ready."

Yan Yuan looked at her unhappily: "Let's talk as we eat."

Although his tone was stiff, it was the first time for the steward who had been by Yan Yuan's side for dozens of years to realize that his family's Prince had become so considerate.

"Sure, sure."

Liu Ruo Qing did not bother to be courteous with Yan Yuan, and the two of them immediately headed to the side hall for the meal.

When the two of them arrived, the food was already prepared. Liu Ruo Qing sat down, and quickly picked up her chopsticks to eat a few bites, although the way she ate was indeed a little unsightly, but Yan Yuan only looked at her for a second and did not say anything.
