Ye Haoxuan nodded.
Two days later, subordinates who went out to investigate returned.
"Master, there’s new information!"
Ye Haoxuan nodded.
At such a mont, Li Luru naturally found it inappropriate to listen in, so she left the room, only to find that Lian Xue’er had arrived.
"The prince has important matters; if you want to ask about your parents, let’s talk about that later."
"Miss Li, I actually ca to find you." Lian Xue’er slightly bowed.
Li Luru glanced behind her, nodded, and walked so distance away with Lian Xue’er.
"What do you need for?"
"Miss Li, I heard you are the maid who serves the prince." After a pause, she hurriedly continued, "Miss Li, don’t get wrong; I didn’t an anything else. I just wanted to ask what color the prince likes. The prince has worked hard for my parents’ matters; I’m from a farming family and don’t have much to offer, so I can only do so sewing to thank the prince."
"..." Li Luru expressed that she didn’t know what color he liked.
"Please tell , miss!" She thought Li Luru was unwilling to speak, and even wanted to kneel.
Li Luru quickly pulled her up, and after thinking, she decided that saying she didn’t know might not be believable.
Then she said, "Green!"
"Green?"
"Yes, it’s green." Li Luru nodded confidently, "Our master’s favorite thing is a green crown."
Lian Xue’er gave a suspicious look at Li Luru, but seeing her sincere expression, she didn’t seem to be lying, so she nodded and left.
Li Luru’s mouth slightly curled; she thought, Ye Haoxuan, I’ll make sure you get upset for threatening !
Inside the room, Ye Haoxuan was listening to reports from his subordinates.
"Master, the subordinates found the people of the Lian family."
"Brought them back?"
"Brought them back." The subordinate said, "But not all of the Lian family, just eight people, only a sister and brother are left; the rest are all dead. And the subordinates discovered that the remaining siblings, the sister, is also nad Lian Xue’er."
"Also nad Lian Xue’er?" Ye Haoxuan laughed, thinking there was sothing odd about this Lian Xue’er, and indeed there was a problem.
"Exactly, first impersonating Lian Xue’er, and then pretending to be Yueyue, quite bold."
"Master, what do we do now?"
"Did County Magistrate Zhong kill the Lian family?"
"Yes."
"Very well." Ye Haoxuan said, "Interrogate these two first; after interrogation, call the prefect of Funan here."
"Yes."
After a pause, he continued, "Make sure to have him arrange matters at the governntal office discreetly, and co quietly without leaking any information."
The subordinates of Ye Haoxuan were quick in action, and by that evening, they had already captured this Lian Xue’er and Zhong Yongqian.
"Tsk, tsk!" Li Luru regretted hearing the news.
Ye Haoxuan touched his forehead, "You regret it? If you feel sorry, you can join her; after all, you are also guilty."
"No, please don’t." Li Luru quickly waved her hands.
"If you don’t want to, what do you regret?"
"She ca to ask this afternoon what color you like, intending to make sothing for you, and by night she was captured."
Ye Haoxuan looked over, "How did you respond?"
She shrugged her hands, "I said I didn’t know."
"Hmph!"
Ye Haoxuan stopped questioning further.
"Have you confessed?" After one hour, those who went to interrogate ca out.
"Prince, Zhong Yongqian confessed, but that Lian Xue’er refuses to speak, and she wants to see the prince."
"What did Zhong Yongqian say?"
"He killed the Lian family, and although he didn’t report to Situ Residence, he often received letters from them, suspecting they knew everything he was doing."
