C47 (2/2)

”Master Zhao, please.” Steward Gu retreated to the side and invited him into the residence.

After waiting for people to enter, he called for a servant to instruct him to report to the Green Pine Academy.

Zhao Guangxian left his subordinate outside and led Zhao Yuanqi into the domain clearing hall.

Yun Qianliang walked into the domain clearing hall in his purple silk dress. He walked over leisurely, his atmosphere was graceful and her entire body was cold, but when he saw the corner of his mouth rise, the coldness and alienation on her body instantly shattered and disappeared without a trace.

”Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao.” Yun Qianliang nodded politely.

”Greetings Madam Gu.” The father and son duo stood up to greet him.

Yun Qianliang smiled and made a gesture to sit up.

”It's been hard on the Master Zhao regarding Xiao Cui.” Yun Qianliang said meaningfully: ”Steward Gu, find all the people within the residence who are familiar with Xiao Cui here.”

Steward Gu was clever and alert, upon hearing the meaning behind Yun Qianliang's words, he knew that Yun Qianliang had already started meddling in this matter, and the main character of this show was the graceful and calm lady sitting in front of him.

”This old servant will do it now.” Steward Gu withdrew.

Roughly a quarter of an hour later, Steward Gu brought a servant from his residence over, and quite a few Singer Dancer s were invited.

Before even entering the domain clearing hall, Wen Meng saw the officials standing in two rows outside of the hall, her heart was thumping hard, even her breathing had become hurried, causing her to slow down, and the people behind her to slow down as well.

”Miss Wen Meng, please.” Steward Gu warned him in time.

Wen Meng calmed her spirit down, sped up her footsteps and took the lead to enter the domain clearing hall.

”Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao, this is Xiao Cui's previous master — — Wen Meng.” Yun Qianliang said as he pointed to the person who had stepped across the threshold.

The Zhao father and son turned to look at the person. The person was beautiful, wearing a beautiful dress that wrapped around her body. As she walked, her waist gently swayed, as if she was walking in the middle of the water.

Zhao Guangxian took a glance at it as per usual, and did not dare to look any further.

Everyone knew that the Gu Xiang had not gotten married yet and had raised a group of Singer Dancer s within the palace. After getting married with Yun Qianliang, Ye Shengge did not even kick the Singer Dancer s out of the palace. Although there was a rumor that the Gu Xiang doted on the newly married wives, which woman would tolerate her husband leaving behind a group of beautiful women within the palace?

Thinking about it this way, even the prettiest girl, Zhao Guangxian, would not have the heart to look, for fear of angering the main character.

Zhao Yuanqi looked at Wen Meng twice, but when he looked at Wen Meng, he did not seem perverted or prejudiced at all, instead, he looked extremely comfortable.

The people who came were mostly women, with three attendants standing at the end.

Yun Qianliang's eyes swept across Wen Meng and landed on the lady beside her. She was not familiar with the Singer Dancer and had met a few times during her walk in the flower garden.

Amongst all the Singer Dancer s, she was not the most beautiful, the most talented. Her actions were no different from the others, but this girl's eyes hid an unyielding gaze.

Wen Meng also would not admit defeat, but the difference between the two was too huge.

Su Qing's refusal to admit defeat was because she was strong in her heart and did not lose herself, but Wen Meng's refusal to accept defeat was equivalent to using any means possible to climb up!

”Xiao Cui is dead.” Just like how Yun Qianliang told Wen Meng yesterday, she spoke the truth calmly.

With that said, the domain clearing hall was in an uproar for a moment, before calming down.

Su Qing frowned, and subconsciously looked at Wen Meng.

Wen Meng was guilty, seeing Su Qing's direct reaction, she became angry in her heart, and asked with an impatient tone: ”What are you doing?”

”Nope.” Su Qing retracted her gaze and did not say anything.

Wen Meng was nervous in her heart, and an evil thought arose in her mind.

Yun Qianliang coughed lightly, and swept Wen Meng with a warning gaze.

Wen Meng quickly lowered her eyes and collected her emotions.

”These two are Jing Zhao Fu Yin and Young Master Zhao.” Yun Qianliang laughed as she identified herself as one of the two uninvited guests in the hall, ”Master Zhao came here today to investigate the matter of Xiao Cui's death, so the two of you must answer truthfully in a moment, you can't hide it from me, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you if something happens.”

When Yun Qianliang said this, the Jing Zhao Mansion began to handle the cases in accordance to normal procedures, and started to interrogate him one by one.

During this time, Yun Qianliang quietly sat and drank her tea, not interfering with the interrogation.

Xiao Cui had been in the Gu Xiangfu for more than five years, and was familiar with most of the servants in the palace. Within the Gu Xiangfu, there were two batches of servants, and after a few people, there were still new people who filled in the gaps.

Su Qing was Xiao Cui's previous master, so she had entered the house earlier than the other dancers, and was the first one Gu Yicheng brought back.

After Wen Meng entered the house, she became deeply loved by Gu Yicheng and gained the authority to manage the household. Wen Meng immediately took Xiao Cui away and became a first-class slave in the Hibiscus Courtyard, serving him closely.
