Chapter 109 Murder Cases At The Birthday Party (Part Two) (1/2)

Prince Jing lifted his eyes to Mrs. Wu who was startled. ”Qian An was Mr. Wu's alias, wasn't it? This was written by him.”

Prince Shun Qing also thought of a question. He asked, ”Was the dead housemaid called Ru Mo?”

The butler shook his head and replied, ”Your Lordship, the housemaid was called Si Qi not Ru Mo.”

”Prince Shun Qing, my husband must have been framed by someone. The whole thing is a plot, ” said Mrs. Wu in a flurry. But a skeptical look appeared on her face.

”Go, find all personal information about Si Qi” said Prince Shun Qing harshly.

The butler withdrew from the room. Mrs. Wu was in shock and kept muttering, ”How could it be? No! No! My husband won't do that.”

A while later, the butler returned with Si Qi's personal information. He said, ”Si Qi, a 16-year old girl, was born in the Imperial City. Her mother was called Ru Mo. Seventeen years ago, Ru Mo seved in Wu Qi's mansion as a housemaid. But later, she was fired by Wu Qi's mother. After that, she lived in a house situated in the west of the Imperial City.

Mrs. Wu shivered all over and sank into a chair. She looked pale. Her eyes were full of disbelief.

All the guests understood that Si Qi must be the illegitimate daughter of Wu Qi and Ru Mo.

Lady Shun Qing glanced at Mrs. Wu with sympathy. Then she said gently, ”Mrs. Wu, you look ill. You'd better rest in the guest room. If we find something related to your husband's death, you will be informed.”

Mrs. Wu's face flushed. She nodded, rose to her feet, and followed the servant out of the room.

Lady Shun Qing sighed, ”What a mess! Shang'er, Qingyan, let's take a walk.” She stood while speaking.
