Chapter 162 Take the Fall 4 ” (2/2)

And, if I didn’t set the fire, would the man have left?

Tightly biting her lips, Bai Yan showed a rather rarely seen stern expression: “Remember, if anyone asks you about this again, you must deny all involvement. Otherwise, I will send you back the Holy Island immediately!”

Di Cang’s brain wasn’t stupid, just a little thinking would be enough for him to deduce its Xiachen who caused the whole fire. However, it’s fine as long as her son doesn’t admit it.

Making an apologetic hug at his mother’s body, the baby boy sounded rather pitiful right now. “I won’t do it anymore, please don’t send me back.”

Pleased by her son’s attitude, Bai Yan was in no position to get angry. After all, it was for her own sake that the boy did it.

……

After Di Cang left the old manor, he did not hurry back to his residence as everyone expected. Instead, he stopped and turned back to the soldier behind himself. “Tell me, who else went to my place today.”

“There was no one else who came. However, Six Princess… she did stay outside for a while without coming inside.”

Respectful in his demeanor, the soldier carefully offers up a jade token with the letter “six” etched on it to his lord.

“This is the sixth princess’s jade token. Forgive my boldness, I suspect….”

“Six Princess? No, she doesn’t have that sort of courage.” Curving his lips into a smirk, Di Cang didn’t need to keep looking at the object anymore.

“Then should I go back and continue the investigation…?” The guard was literally pouring in sweat as he asked, afraid he might say something wrong here for his failure.

“No need,” Di Cang’s gaze turned sharp. “Take the token and go to the palace. Say it’s the sixth princess who set the fire.”

Completely surprised here, the soldier didn’t understand what’s going on. Didn’t his lord say the princess didn’t have the courage?

But before the servant can ask why, Di Cang’s cold and indifference voice drifted over again: “My son said it’s the sixth princess’s fault then it’s her, understand?”

Paralyzed, the soldier didn’t know how to respond to this.

The young lord? This matter is related to the little boy?

It can’t be, the fire was done by the young lord?!

And the young lord intends to pin the blame on the sixth princess? And now the man here also intends to have the princess take the fall even though he knows?
