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

"It's always good to have many skills." Xu Xingyin's expression did not change after hearing this, and he still smiled softly, "It's better than just talking big, isn't it?"

Xu Wanfeng was a person who could get angry easily, so how could she sit still after being ridiculed by Xu Xingyin like this?

"You! You don't respect your brothers and sisters, and you don't pity your younger siblings. Seventh sister has such a sharp tongue!"

"I cannot bear such a great sin. May I ask where this sin came from? Could it be that you took it upon yourself?"

Xu Wanfeng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

When Xu Xingyin asked this question, if she admitted it, she would be slapping herself in the face, but if she didn't admit it, she would be regarded as someone who was making groundless accusations.

Whether it is true or not, she is the one who suffers the loss!

Seeing Xu Wanfeng being humiliated, Xu Wanlin couldn't help but curl her lips. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Wanru on the side spoke first.

"Grandmother, Princess Yongyi has invited me, so it would be better for Seventh Sister to go early and come back early."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded and followed Xu Wanru's words and continued.

"That's right, Xingyin, please go first. Don't let others think that my Xu family has violated the rules."

Xu Xingyin bowed and accepted the gesture, ignoring the furious Xu Wanfeng beside him, and turned around and walked out of Funing Courtyard.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Xu Wanyu, "Thank you, Ninth Sister."

After leaving Funing Courtyard, Xu Xingyin took the excuse of going back to the courtyard to change clothes and took a shortcut back to Chenguang Courtyard.

Passing by the yard where clothes were washed, Xu Xingyin looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he happily took Danfeng in.

The sun is shining today, and it is indeed a good day for hanging clothes to dry.

Xu Xingyin asked Dan Feng to keep an eye on them outside, and he quickly found the clothes of Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie and sprinkled the itching powder he had in his arms on them.

Then, he clapped his hands as if nothing had happened and took Dan Feng back.

Dan Feng blinked and wanted to speak but held back.

However, Xu Xingyin saw that she was having a hard time holding it in, so he smiled comfortingly:

"I came here at the right time. No one will see me changing the currency at this time every day. You don't have to feel guilty. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. I'm just collecting some interest."

Although Dan Feng had only followed Xu Xingyin for a few days, he could feel that Xu Xingyin was a kind-hearted person.

To do such a thing today, it must be because the Third Miss and the Sixth Miss bullied him severely, right?

Thinking of this, Dan Feng nodded firmly in agreement.

"Miss, I didn't see anything today."

Xu Xingyin curled the corners of her lips slightly. Look, she knew she was not mistaken.

If Dan Feng is trained for a few more days, she will definitely be more useful than other maids and old women.

After returning to the yard to change clothes, the master and servant swaggered out of the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a carriage parked outside. Xu Xingyin jumped into the carriage and then greeted the girl in the carriage who was wearing a narrow-sleeved brocade robe.

"Yongyi."

"Bright."

Tian Tian had just finished speaking, and before Xu Xingyin sat down, Lu Xu, who was unwilling to be lonely, suddenly spoke.

"You don't even know how to find a good excuse, and you still want to make a Jiangnan snack? I have never seen Miss Xu do anything like this since I was a child."

Xu Xingyin glared back, "What? You want to try it?"

"Don't." Lu Xu stretched out his hand to block Xu Xingyin's "vicious" gaze, "I still want to live two more years."

After glancing at him, Xu Xingyin was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

The three of them first placed Dan Feng in a teahouse not far from the Xu family, and then drove back to their real destination.

Xu Xingyin finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly about the progress of the case.

"Can Qiong Niang be recruited?"

Lu Xu changed his nonchalant attitude and answered seriously, "I confessed. I have signed the confession."

"Where's the motive?"

"Why else!" Tian Tian snorted angrily, "You must be unwilling to draw a clear line between you and your father, and you are turning love into hatred!"

Xu Xingyin said nothing, turned his head to look at Lu Xu, only to see that man nodded slightly in agreement.

"According to Qionghua, Tian Zitao had originally promised to redeem her and marry her back home. But this time, Tian Zitao wanted to end all ties with her and was afraid that she would pester him, so he didn't even redeem her. She is not young anymore, and she has devoted all her heart to Tian Zitao over the years. There is no other patron to take care of her business. Tian Zitao's behavior was tantamount to ruining her future, so she poisoned him to death in a rage."

Xu Xingyin nodded, feeling quite unhappy.

In this dispute between three people, the deceased Tian Zitao was the culprit who caused this tragedy.

Although he paid the price with his life in the end, it did not put an end to the tragedy.

The eldest princess, the legitimate wife, had a youthful admiration that had matured over the years, but in the end, it was all just her infatuation that was misplaced.

After waking up from her dream, the remaining entanglement of love and hate will require her to remember and reconcile throughout her life.

Even his own daughter Tian Tian was chilled by her father's actions and no longer had any expectations for love between men and women.

As for Qionghua, she intervened in this relationship as a third party, and like a desperate gambler, she placed all her hopes on this man.

She won the man's heart, but was ultimately defeated by his absolute authority.

In fact, it shouldn’t be like this…

If Tian Zitao had not gone to extremes and helped Qionghua redeem herself and return home, they might not have come to this point.

I wonder if Tian Zitao thought about the years of love between him and the Grand Princess before he died, or whether he thought about the various promises he had made to Qionghua when they were close friends.

Lu Xu lifted the curtain and gave an order to the groom, then turned around and asked Xu Xingyin curiously:

"So how did you discover the truth?"

"It's very simple." Xu Xingyin replied with a smile.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Xia Jing Zhichen for being able to discover the clues of this matter.

That day, Xu Xingyin went to deliver medicine to Jing Zhichen.

Mrs. Lu's unintentional remark "Chrysanthemums are gentle and refreshing" suddenly awakened Xu Xingyin.

I still remember that during the first hearing at the Yamen, Chunxi, who was beside the Grand Princess, had said during an argument with a servant:

Tian Zitao is addicted to alcohol and prefers strong liquor.

Chrysanthemum wine is obviously not a strong liquor, so why would Tian Zitao order a pot of wine that he doesn't like? Isn't that strange?

With this question in mind, Xu Xingyin went back to Yichunyuan again and checked the menu for the day with the kitchen.

According to the account book, the amount of silver paid matched the dishes ordered in the house. Everything else matched, except the price of the plate of bamboo shoots.

That should be the money for a meat dish, but the last time they checked the scene, only bamboo shoots were left, which means that the dish had been tampered with.

That day, Xu Xingyin looked up some books again, and one of the ancient books mentioned:

Chrysanthemum and chicken are incompatible ingredients and eating them together will cause poisoning.

In addition, Qiong Niang added alcohol, which maximized the toxicity of both, which led to Tian Zitao's death.
