Zi Xia couldn’t help but exclaim, "Fourth Prince, the scene where you killed Second Miss, both the First Miss and I witnessed it with our own eyes, and you dare to deny it?"
"Hmph! I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"You...!"
Zi Xia never dread that this Fourth Prince would be so despicable and shaless, not admitting what he did.
As they argued noisily at the scene, the Emperor grew angry, and Eunuch Li, being very astute, imdiately said, "Stop arguing, speak one by one, the Emperor will handle this fairly."
Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down.
The Emperor’s expression beca a bit more pleasant; it was truly troubling, finally getting outside the palace to relax only to encounter such a misfortune.
The Emperor, looking weary, propped his chin with his hand and asked listlessly, "Fourth Prince, speak first, what exactly happened?"
Although the Emperor said the matter would be handled fairly, in truth, he had so bias towards his son. He hoped to give the Fourth Prince a chance to argue, even if he was the murderer, as long as he didn’t admit it, Situ Yongjie couldn’t do much about it.
On his way back, the Fourth Prince thought things through and realized this matter must absolutely not be admitted.
"I don’t know what they are talking about either, I have been deep in the forest hunting tigers, if imperial father doesn’t believe , he can ask Second Imperial Brother, I was with Second Imperial Brother all the ti, only later, the tiger ran away, and in order to chase the tiger, I separated from Second Imperial Brother, that’s what I just said happened."
The Emperor nodded and turned to ask Situtu Xuexue, "First Miss, the Fourth Prince says he didn’t et Second Miss, but you say he killed Second Miss. Both sides claim to be right, who should I believe?"
The Emperor is clearly protective, but everyone is hesitant to speak frankly, considering his supre authority!
One wrong word could lead to the nine familial exterminations.
Situtu Xuexue complained to the Emperor, making the Fourth Prince resentful, he asked sharply, "First Miss, you falsely accuse of killing Second Miss, what are your intentions?"
"Whether it is a false accusation, the Fourth Prince knows in his heart." Facing such a hypocrite, Xuexue couldn’t be bothered to argue.
"Qinger often told when she was alive that her relationship with the First Miss wasn’t good, that she often frad her, even Auntie Tang was hard by the First Miss, who knows if the First Miss didn’t take advantage of a mont when no one was around to kill Second Miss, and then frad , it would be quite reasonable, after all, just days ago, my engagent with Second Miss had so issues, First Miss is truly cunning!"
Zi Xia listened, trembling with rage, having seen shaless people, but never soone as shaless as the Fourth Prince.
Xuexue looked coldly at the Fourth Prince, knowing full well that this scoundrel was trying to divert attention and cover up his murder.
Sure enough, as soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking.
Everyone looked at Situtu Xuexue with strange expressions.
Indeed! There have always been rumors in the Capital that the legitimate and illegitimate sisters of the General’s Mansion don’t get along, often fighting fiercely over small matters. No wonder First Miss was so nice to Situtu Qinger this morning; it seems she was setting up a murder, otherwise given their relationship, First Miss wouldn’t be that nice to Situtu Qinger.
Everyone began to speculate.
Situtu Xuexue didn’t panic at all and said calmly, "The Fourth Prince says I killed Second Sister, but where is the evidence?"
