Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"Token?"

Aunt Qin was stunned and immediately retorted: "I only sent a message to ask my brother to kill you, and I never mentioned any token."

Xu Xingyin's beautiful eyes focused, and she already had an idea in her mind.

"Well, I have one more question. I grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child. I have never met you, let alone had any grudge against you. Why do you want to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qin suddenly became like a madman.

He held his stomach and laughed sharply and piercingly, his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets as he glared at Xu Xingyin fiercely.

After laughing, Aunt Qin clenched her teeth tightly.

"What a great phrase! The Duke was assassinated on the day you were born and nearly died. Do you know why you were able to escape this disaster?"

Xu Xingyin frowned slightly, "You saved him?"

"Yes!"

Aunt Qin yelled in excitement, "I saved him, but I injured my body and will never be able to get pregnant. Xu Xingyin, you are a jinx who has deprived me of my right to be a mother!"

The unexpected answer made Xu Xingyin stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her thoughts and replied.

"Qin, you hate the wrong person. I wasn't the one who sent the assassination. You should hate them."

"No! Blame it on you! It's all your fault! It's you who hurt me! It's you!"

Aunt Qin's sharp screams filled the entire dungeon, and her hoarse sobs made her look even more desolate.

"You were deceived and made a big mistake. You can't blame others."

Xu Xingyin didn't want to argue with Aunt Qin anymore, so he shook his head, turned around and left the cell, leaving all the ugly insults behind him.

Step out of the darkness step by step and embrace your own light.

Since the token was not ordered by Aunt Qin, it must have been Qin Hao's idea.

It seems that she still has to meet this Lord Qin, Xu Xingyin thought.

……

Unfortunately, Xu Xingyin's plan failed in the end.

As soon as she came out of the dungeon, Qin Hao confessed his guilt under the interrogation of the Shuntian prefect, signed a confession and then committed suicide in the prison.

Apart from the confession on the complaint, no other information was revealed.

The next day.

Emperor Yanning was furious and ordered the execution of all members of the Qin family.

Since Aunt Qin was divorced and sent back home, she naturally could not escape this disaster.

Duke Xu's Mansion had long since drawn a line between itself and Concubine Qin, so on the surface it was not affected.

However, Duke Xu Xiuzhu was still summoned to the palace and received a reprimand from Emperor Yan Ning.

Once the case was settled, Xu Xingyin had no reason to stay in Shuntian Prefecture any longer, and he strode back to the Duke's Mansion that day.

When he returned home after closing the case, someone in Duke Xu's mansion had already received the news.

When Xu Xingyin arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he saw that the main door was closed and only a side door was open.

White rice was scattered all over the ground outside the side door, and there was a brazier in the middle.

A woman in a crimson purple dress stood outside and glanced at Xu Xingyin from the corner of her eye.

"Miss Seven, you've been traveling all the way, you've worked hard."

Among Xu Xiuzhu's concubines, Aunt Qin had the best family background, so she has always been known for being domineering.

But if we talk about favor, it must be Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu's family runs a small clinic. Many years ago, Xu Xiuzhu was injured on duty and it was Aunt Liu's family who happened to save him.

During the period of recuperation, the two fell in love, and when Xu Xiuzhu returned home after recovering from his injury, he welcomed Aunt Liu into the house.

Aunt Liu's gentle flattery won Xu Xiuzhu's heart.

The fact that she has remained in favor for so many years shows that she is not a simple person.

It’s a pity that Xu Xingyin is not a man and doesn’t fall for Aunt Liu’s soft tactics.

"Not as hard as Aunt Liu, who took the trouble to arrange such a unique arrangement."

Aunt Liu pretended not to hear Xu Xingyin's sarcasm.

"It's all my duty. Miss Seven is in jail now, so she should get rid of the bad luck."

Spreading rice on the ground and burning paper in a brazier are both folk remedies to ward off evil spirits.

As long as Xu Xingyin complies with Aunt Liu's wishes today, his unfounded reputation as a "jinx" will be further confirmed tomorrow.

"Aunt Liu is right."

Xu Xingyin nodded, turned his head to look at the nanny beside Aunt Liu and slapped her.

Nanny Wu was a very popular person around Aunt Liu. She was caught off guard by the hit by Xu Xingyin and started crying with her hands covering her face.

"Miss Seven, what do you mean? Aunt Liu has been running around for you since early morning, but you..."

"You did something wrong and you still have the nerve to blame your aunt?"

If it weren't for the difference in status, Nanny Wu would have wanted to rush up and tear Xu Xingyin apart.

"What have I done wrong? Miss Seven, please explain clearly!"

"The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the whole city is burning paper, but you dare to burn it at the gate of the mansion. You are simply trying to drag the whole family of the Duke's Mansion into your misfortune!"

After Xu Xing finished speaking in a hidden voice, Nanny Wu's face turned pale.

If you put on such a big hat, you will get your head chopped off!

Aunt Liu was also shocked when she heard this, and then she waved her hand and asked the servants to take the brazier away unnoticed.

"It was my fault, and I deserve a lesson. But it would be bad if it gets out, Miss Seven, please calm down."

"If it gets out, why are you standing at the door? Are you afraid that others won't know that you have committed a taboo?"

"Miss Seven is right. Please go in."

Aunt Liu smiled gently and made a gesture of invitation towards the side door. The nanny who had just been slapped lowered her head and hurriedly scattered another handful of rice.

Be humble in attitude, but do the worst possible things.

"We are welcoming the heir through the side door. Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules, Aunt Liu?"

After Xu Xingyin finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he grabbed Aunt Liu's hand and knocked it against the pillar.

The jade bracelet on Aunt Liu's wrist broke into two pieces in an instant and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The moment Xu Xingyin caught her, Aunt Liu's heart rose to her throat.

Fortunately, Xu Xingyin only broke a bracelet and was not able to move forward. He felt relieved but also quite angry.

"Miss Seven, what does this mean?"

"I'm fine. Since the method of exorcising bad luck in the capital is useless, let's use the method from Jiangnan."

After Xu Xingyin finished speaking, she smiled and asked again.

"Isn't Aunt Liu going to mind?"

Xu Xingyin was so indifferent to meat and vegetables that she even dared to fight in the street. Aunt Liu really didn't dare to confront her for a moment, so she bit her lip and admitted defeat.

"how could be?"

"You're not opening the door yet?"

Xu Xingyin averted his gaze and slowly looked at Nanny Wu. His voice was gentle, yet contained a chilling air that was captivating.

Since Aunt Liu had been defeated, how could Aunt Wu dare to confront Xu Xingyin?

He had no choice but to open the front door with a dusty face, "Miss Seven, please."

Xu Xingyin was dressed in coarse cloth, but his manners were very polite. He looked no worse than the nobles in the palace.

"After all, we are sisters. The Qin family will be executed in a few days. Aunt Liu, would you like to go and see them off?"

"Miss Seven, what are you talking about? The Qin family is a heinous criminal. What relationship can they have with me?"

"That's right."

Xu Xingyin chuckled when he heard this, his tone sounding both sarcastic and warning.

"You shouldn't mess with people you can't afford to mess with."

Aunt Liu naturally heard the implication of Xu Xingyin's words. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but she did not refute.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was behaving himself, Xu Xingyin put his thoughts aside. Before he even entered the Chuihua Gate, he was bumped by a reckless person coming towards him and almost fell off his feet.

"Aunt Liu, please ask a doctor to come and see her! The Duke's wife is dying!"

The only person who could be respectfully addressed as "Mrs. Duke" in the Duke's Mansion was Xu Xingyin's mother, Chen.
