”Is this a human nail?” Song Lai could not help but ask back.
Su Li nodded his head, although the fingernails had been dyed red, if one looked carefully, they could still see the original color, ”These nails have been dyed, it's a woman's nail!”
”In the capital, only royalty or the daughters of wealthy families would dye the Immortal Phoenix Flowers.” Song Lai's eyes lit up, as if he had already seen the case.
Su Li wrapped the fingernails inside a handkerchief before taking off the gloves and stretching his body.
Then, she cast a sidelong glance at Song Lai and smiled, ”It seems like you have covered your face well, your face is still there.”
Hearing that, Song Lai's face became even more parched!
It was because he was blind that he looked down on Fourth Miss's methods of autopsy.
”I …” ”I …” He stuttered for a long time before finally closing his eyes. He then smoothly said, ”I was wrong.”
”If you make a mistake, then you will be punished.”
Song Lai immediately opened his eyes and nodded his head like a chick pecking rice grains, ”Yes yes, as long as Fourth Miss can calm down, I will take my punishment.”
”I see that your Yi Village is quite clean, tidy up a room for me to come out of. I'm tired, I want to stay here for a day.”
Song Lai was startled for a moment, and only regained his senses after a long while, ”If Fourth Miss does not mind, my master's house in his previous life had everything, I had only changed to a new bed yesterday.”
”Good, then lead me there. I'll leave the seaming work to you.”
Song Lai cheerfully nodded his head and led the way.
Just as Su Li took a step forward, he saw Mo Lianjin blocking in front of her.
”Oh, I almost forgot.” Su Li placed the handkerchief wrapped around his fingernails into his arms, ”I will have to trouble Fifth Prince to tell him that the culprit may be a woman. If the three clues I mentioned earlier pointed to a certain woman, I can use this fingernail to testify.”
Mo Lianjin stared straight at Su Li. When he did not laugh, his expression was as cold as an ice mountain.
”You are a young lady who hasn't left the pavilion, and you live in Yi Village with a single man and woman that have little grievances. What is this supposed to be?”
”Clear your mind, it's up to anyone else.”
”Don't forget your identity.”
Su Li raised his eyebrows, ”Could it be that Fifth Prince thinks that I can rely on my identity as a broken shoe to become a Crown Prince's Wife as I wish?”
The two words ”broken shoes” caused Mo Lianjin to squint his eyes coldly, ”What makes a person feel the most pity is looking down on himself.”
Su Li smirked, ”Aren't you overthinking it? I was just stating a fact. ”
”Then go back to your General's Mansion.
