Chapter 283: Who Did It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the Crown Prince’s private territory. Huangfu He naturally knew that it was not polite for him to meet his brother’s wife in private. However, he also wanted to talk to Liu s.h.i.+mei, so there were no outsiders beside him. Only his confidant was guarding nearby.
Seeing Liu s.h.i.+mei come out, Huangfu He spoke first, “The clothes may not fit you well.”
The clothes on the boat were prepared by the palace maids to prevent any unexpected situations, so they might not fit perfectly, making Liu s.h.i.+mei look a bit oversized.
However, she was good-looking. No matter what kind of clothes she wore, it could not hide her elegance.
She was only 16 years old, but the flower bud that was about to bloom was already as beautiful as the peonies in the garden.
Huangfu He lowered his head and looked at her. ‘Unfortunately, this flower bud doesn’t belong to me, Huangfu Lingyao has taken it for himself!’
Liu s.h.i.+mei maintained a sufficient distance and bowed slightly. “Thank you, Your Highness. It doesn’t matter if it fits or not. After settling this matter in a short while, this official’s daughter returned to East Mountain Garden to change.”
Huangfu He opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
He could not only follow her lead and asked, “Who do you think is behind this incident?”
“It definitely wasn’t Jin Wei’er,” Liu s.h.i.+mai a.s.serts without looking at him.
She did not look at him, but looked at the scenery outside the s.h.i.+p.
The peony garden at the turn of spring and summer was really super beautiful. Just looking at it made one feel at ease.
However, the person who was enjoying the scenery with her was not right. She was not very interested in this Crown Prince. The second most n.o.ble man in the dynasty in front of her was definitely a troublemaker. It was best to stay as far away as possible!
Therefore, she just wanted to make things clear before she went to look for the silly dog.
Huangfu He asks, “How can you be so sure? I sent someone to inquire earlier, and it was reported that she had a conflict with you outside the Peony Garden, and there was a motive for her maid to harm you.”
He was a little discouraged by her unwillingness to face him.
He knew that this was the right thing to do, but he just could not let it go. He could not calm down!
Liu s.h.i.+mei took two more steps to the side and pretended to admire the scenery. This way, he would not leave any traces behind.
“Jin Wei’er is timid and afraid of trouble. Previously, King Dun Yu only shouted at her once, and she immediately stopped speaking up for Guan Ruping. “On the contrary, Guan Ruping…”
She lowered her eyes and said, “Guan Ruping has lost a lot of face. She’s also afraid that her father will lose the possibility of inheriting the position of Minister of Rites because of today’s matter. She’s mentally stressed and lost her rationality. It’s not surprising that she would do such a thing impulsively.” “You’re so sure, but do you have any evidence? Or was there a way to find evidence?” Huangfu He knew that Liu s.h.i.+mei was smart. She definitely knew what was going on.
His gaze barely left her face.
From his side, he could only see the side of her face. She looked as cold as a glacier in the distant mountains, unreachable and untouchable.
This made his heart ache.
Liu s.h.i.+mei calmly said, “Let’s start with Jin Wei’er. Since she’s timid and afraid of trouble, then whether we use her own future or her father’s future to force her, she’ll tell the truth sooner or later.” As for whether Guan Ruping admitted it or not…He believed that as long as the Crown Prince interrogated her personally, she would not deny it.”
The Crown Prince’s even to someone like Guan Ruping, a daughter of high status. Moreover, Liu s.h.i.+mei did not believe Huangfu He would be incapable of extracting a confession. Otherwise, what kind of emperor would he be in the future?
Huangfu He sighed in his heart and said, “Fine, I’ll listen to you.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei wanted to leave.
However, Huangfu He did not give her a chance to speak. He suddenly asked, “You… are still as wise as ever.. I have one question to ask you, can you answer truthfully?”
