Yucheng's face darkened and he coughed a few times.
"Madam, you were the one who agreed to come to the temple to pray. Why are you pretending to be sick now? This is a great crime that has been deceived. "
Zhao Yuanzhi resented the fact that she had purposely exposed her scheme, and that it was inappropriate for her to act up in front of other people's eyes. She frowned and covered her head, still feigning weakness.
"Master, this humble one is indeed unwell, and does not truly wish to flee from the blessings. "All the nuns in the temple are being mean to me and Qi'er, and I have to do chores every day besides chanting scriptures. Master, it's not that I'm so delicate, but look, when did my hands ever do such menial work?"
As expected, the hands that he had used to look at Zhao Yuanzhi were no longer the same as before he left the residence.
He sighed in his heart as his expression eased up.
"Madam, praying for the imperial concubine is a glorious thing. You should know that this is related to the position of the Prime Minister's estate in the heart of His Majesty and the Empress. "I'll be troubling you and Qi'er."
"Master, I don't wish to complain, so there is no need for me to do so. Since they had already arrived at the Dharma Will Temple, it was natural that they would sincerely recite the prayers for the imperial concubine. If it wasn't for what I just said, I wouldn't have complained to the old master. "
Zhao Yuanzhi squeezed out a few tears, picked up the handkerchief, and began to wipe it.
Mrs. Zhao, you pretend to be sick, but instead, you make a mistake. This is truly hateful.
He glanced at her and saw that she was frowning. Her face was a little sullen, and he could not say anything more. Besides, the sudden murder in the Buddhist temple rarely involved the government, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
"Madam, do you think the nuns in the temple's backyard have anything to do with you? This is not a small matter, that piece of cloth is very disadvantageous to you." His eyebrows were scrunched into a knot, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy. Whether this nun was Zhao Yuanzhi or someone else who had killed her, the Prime Minister's Estate could not escape its responsibility. At this moment, he was secretly regretting his decision. If it wasn't for the sake of obtaining credit, he wouldn't have been involved in this mess today.
Zhao Yuanzhi wiped her tears away with a wronged look on her face.
"Master, you must believe in me. I came here to pray for blessings, not to cause trouble. "Besides, that nun has never even touched her dead body. How could she do such a vicious thing? Qi'er can testify for me."
"Father, Qi'er can testify that my mother's death had nothing to do with that nun's." Her mother and Qi'er sincerely prayed for the imperial concubine. Even if they had to suffer a little and suffer a little, it was nothing. For the sake of Father, for the sake of the Prime Minister's Estate, all of these daughters will be able to endure it. " It was rare for Qi to step forward and act like she was very filial.
It was less than hearing what Qi had said. He was surprised that his second daughter had changed so much in just a few days. He had not expected that she would be like this.
"Now, a murder case like this has been committed in the temple. It was clearly someone who wanted to frame mother for her injustice. Father, you can't mistake the slanderous words of a villain and ruin mother's good name." Not much more than when Qi purposely glanced at Yu Yu. There was a hint of meaning in her words.
Yu Yu's expression didn't darken and he sneered to himself. Qi Jian hadn't learned anything in the past few days, so her ability to frame someone grew.
"Qi'er, what do you mean?" Yu Zhengzhi's heart sank as an expression of doubt surfaced on his face. Then, he asked in a low voice.
Fewer than Qi lightly frown head, the eye suffused with a bit of tears, picked up the silk handkerchief to do a heartache.
"Father, there was a human life in the temple. The fabric on the corpse was exactly the same as my mother's clothes, which caused the nuns to suspect that my mother was involved in the murder, but they didn't know that my mother owned this cloth."
Hearing less than Qi said, less than the political face slightly sunken, knowing, less than Qi designated is less than 0. Within the mansion, how could those servants and maids wear the same kind of cloth as Zhao Yuanzhi? Naturally, only the eldest daughter could be a female.
The expression on her face that was less than political could not help but turn ugly. This was no small matter. In the temple appointed by His Majesty, the murder of a nun was a serious crime. If they really did investigate it, even their lives wouldn't be saved. At that time, he would be implicated as well.
"Qi'er, did you really meet her?"
"How can a daughter lie to her father?" "Mother and the nun in this temple have never had a dispute, how could they possibly have tried to kill her. Among them, there are people who are trying to frame Mother." Father, think about it. Mother has been in the Prime Minister's Estate for many years and has never had a single mistake. In the past few months, there have been people who have become enemies with their mother, secretly harming her and then framing her. "
Fewer than the political face also became more and more ugly, Fewer than what Qi pointed to the obvious, is Fewer.
The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer of ridicule. He remained unmoved and did not try to defend himself.
Rong Qian stood at the side and looked at the expressions of the men from the Yufu Mansion coldly. He had a rough understanding of what was going on.
When he arrived at the backyard, he examined the corpse carefully. His expression was dark and there was a chill in his eyes.
"This nun wasn't directly thrown into the well and drowned. "Well," she continued, pointing to his forehead, "there's a very obvious wound. She was hit by a sharp weapon and pushed into the well to create a false impression."
Master Jingsi nodded slightly. She had found the wound when she examined the body, and she had suspected at the time that he had been killed before being thrown into the well.
All the nuns and pilgrims couldn't help but look at each other. Just who was so vicious that they would use such a ruthless method?
As soon as Qi was in the crowd, her face turned pale and her hands started to tremble.
Rong Gan guessed that Zhao Yuanzhi and Yu Jiu had complained about the poverty and discontent of the temple ever since they had arrived. They had even tried to fight against the prayers and recitation with hunger strikes. Could it be that this was the reason why she had accumulated such resentment in her heart and decided to kill them?
Although he suspected the Zhao Family's mother and daughter, he still wasn't sure about their motive for killing Hui An. Hence, he remained silent for the time being with a dark expression.
With the murder involved, Shuntian Manor was also involved in the investigation. At the same time, Zhao Yuanzhi and Yuanzhi, who were the biggest suspects, were confined to the temple.
Rong Gan personally ordered that Jing Zhaoyin Liu Molin should be able to solve the case within seven days, but the case was rarely cleared by the young miss and her wife.
