If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Qin Shu was mentally prepared because of Fu Ying's reminder before coming.

I knew that Prince Yu would definitely mention the deaths of Lu Fei and Sheng Li.

Qin Shu couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in her heart when she heard him suddenly say this.

She showed a hint of surprise at the right moment, "What are you talking about, Your Highness? I don't understand. Your Highness, are you talking about the rape and murder case that everyone was talking about a while ago?"

Zhou Chang leaned on the table, his hand supporting his chin and raised an eyebrow at Qin Shu, "Well, tell me about it?"

Qin Shu pursed her lips and said with displeasure: "You are fickle and immoral."

Zhou Chang gently waved his fingers, "I'm not asking you to comment on their behavior, I want you to talk about the reason why their affair was exposed."

Qin Shu laughed, "What reason could there be? It's hard to hide it forever, it's just a matter of time."

Zhou Chang moved closer to Qin Shu and lowered his voice and said, "But according to the coroner's examination, it looks like a murder scene involving two people. The presence of a third person cannot be ruled out."

"This third person wants to cut off the roots and reap the benefits."

Qin Shu curled her lips, "So? Your Highness, why not explain it all at once?"

Zhou Chang sat up straight, shook his sleeves lightly, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, then said slowly: "Lu Fei and Sheng Li are the left guards of the Twelve Guards of the Southern Court. The left and right guards also lead the inner army, and only the children of nobles and high-ranking officials can join."

"Lu Fei is the commander of the guards in this palace. Sheng Li was promoted and appointed by Lu Fei, and is regarded as a close brother by Lu Fei."

"For so many years, Sheng Li entered and exited the Lu Mansion as if he were entering his own mansion, and Lu Fei never doubted him. This shows that Sheng Li had an affair with the Ji family, but he was able to hide it from Lu Fei. The two of them must have acted very carefully and left no trace."

"Just the day before the murder, the two drank together, and Lu Fei did not behave abnormally."

He smiled and looked up at Qin Shu, and continued, "If someone hadn't deliberately exposed this matter, Lu Fei might not have been able to catch it."

Qin Shu sneered silently.

Zhou Chang continued, "Lu Fei and Sheng Li have been doing business in the capital for many years. Although they have many old friends, they don't have any deep hatred."

"Only..."

He approached Qin Shu with a smile and said word by word, "At the beginning of December last year, Lu Fei asked Sheng Li to assassinate a couple named Qin."

Qin Shu's face turned pale instantly, but her eyes were deep and bright.

Zhou Chang's lips curled slightly, and he smiled maliciously, "Miss Qin, if you were the daughter of the Qin couple, would you do everything you can to avenge your parents?"

Qin Shu looked at Zhou Chang coldly without saying a word.

Zhou Chang looked at the woman in front of him. Her body was tense and straight, her expression was cold and her eyes were icy, as if in an instant, she was covered with thorns.

He picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked, "Miss Qin killed two of my guards. Is there nothing you need to explain to me?"

Zhou Chang discovered that after he asked this question, the woman opposite him suddenly relaxed.

Qin Shu lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "If I were a weak girl with such skills, why would I let my parents be murdered?"

Zhou Chang smiled silently, obviously not believing her.

Qin Shu raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Chang, "It's His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Your Highness allowed his guards to kill my parents. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chang to speak, Qin Shu continued, "Or, in your eyes, the lives of common people like me and my parents are worthless. Even if you bully and kill them, it's like a joke and not worth mentioning?"

Zhou Chang was stunned, obviously not expecting Qin Shu to suddenly become so aggressive.

After seeing Qin Shu's extremely ugly expression and the hidden hatred on her face, Zhou Chang coughed lightly and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. I only found out about your parents' affairs later."

"Young lady, you may not know that the Twelve Guards of the Southern Court are under the jurisdiction of Prince Ning. So, although those guards are protecting my Prince Yu's Palace, they are not my men and are naturally not under my control."

Qin Shu sneered, "Since those two people have nothing to do with Your Highness, what kind of explanation can Your Highness ask for from me?"

She lowered her eyes and said coldly, "If Your Highness wants to seek justice, you need to find the real murderer instead of using me as a scapegoat for no reason."

Zhou Chang was choked and stared at Qin Shu in a daze, not moving a muscle.

After a long while, he chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then this prince and the young lady should be considered free of any grudges or hatred?"

Qin Shu snorted in her heart: So this is where he was waiting for her!

She seemed respectful, but in fact she was insincere as she bowed slightly, "I dare not. Your Highness is a noble, and I am just a lowly and humble commoner. Even if you give me hundreds of guts, I dare not argue with Your Highness."

Zhou Chang laughed, "That's good, that's good. Next, I will work with you, so it's better if we have no grudges against each other. This way, the cooperation will be more pleasant. Is that right, young lady?"

Qin Shu barely curled her lips, "Your Highness, what you said is naturally correct."

He really refuses to listen to anything!

Zhou Chang felt a little bored, so he served some tea.

Seeing this, Qin Shu quickly took her leave.

Zhou Chang put the teacup to his lips and spun it around, squinting his eyes as he watched Qin Shu walk out of the carriage with her skirt lifted and her body bent.

The curtain embroidered with heavy lotus flowers fell down, blocking the slender figure who slowly stepped out of the carriage.

He was distracted for a while, and suddenly chuckled: Lu Fei is second brother's man, but Sheng Li is not.

He knew about the original plan.

But it didn't stop.

Because he also wanted to see how King Jin would fight back next.

Now, the orphan of the Qin family came with hatred and murderous intent, and directly pointed his spearhead at King Ning.

As long as he is not harmed, he is very happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight.

Over the past six months, Prince Ning suffered heavy losses in several open and covert struggles between him and Prince Jin.

Moreover, most of these are Qin's work.

Now the Qin family has clearly stood on the side of King Jin, and has been ordered to promote the planting of new grains.

If this could be accomplished...

The possibility of Prince Jin becoming the crown prince became much greater.

Zhou Chang pinched his chin and thought silently in his mind: He has no hope of getting that position anyway.

The fight for the throne requires you to withdraw as soon as possible.

But over the years, King Ning has been trying to tie Zhou Chang to his broken ship. Even if he wants to get away from it, he needs to clear his name!

Oh, so depressing!

When the convoy stopped to rest, Fu Ying quietly walked to Qin Shu, avoiding everyone's sight, and asked softly: "What does Prince Yu want to see you about?"

Qin Shu roughly repeated what Zhou Chang said.

Fu Ying thought for a moment, chuckled and said, "Prince Yu is a man who knows how to deal with the current situation. Does he want to make peace with you?"

Qin Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Should I accept it or not?"

Fu Ying said: "Prince Yu has always been invisible in the court and has little say. But no matter what, he is still a prince. If he can stand up and support you at a critical moment, it may have unexpected results."

Even if I can't help, at least I won't suddenly appear and hinder us.
