Right now, Xueyun was staring at Yu Ningning and Gu Yun, her eyes dark as an abyss, making them feel overwhelmed by the terrifying suppression.
Feeling guilty perhaps, Gu Yun gasped as he met Xueyun's gaze. But then, to make himself look innocent and fearless, he stuck out his chest and gave Xueyun a smile.
However, that forced smile actually made him seem even more guilty. Yu
Ningning, however, was still as calm and unperturbed as ever. He nodded at Xueyun as their eyes met.
"What's? Didn't you guys hear any noise last night?" Xueyun caught both of their expressions and withdrew her gaze emotionlessly.
Yu Ningning closed her eyes as if she remembered something before she replied in an elegant voice: "Last night, I went to bed early and heard nothing." His attitude was calm, not humble or pushy.
After hearing that, Gu Yun said anxiously, "Me too."
Compared to Yu Ningning's calm demeanor, Gu Yun's anxiety definitely implied that he was hiding something.
"Is that so?" Xueyun said to Gu Yun with a skeptical tone. "But I heard from the maid that you had a fight with Madame Ting recently. Madam Yun, is that true?"
"That's a false accusation, empress!" Gu Yun got up from the chair and knelt down in front of Xueyun, the panic he had hidden before was revealed at this moment.
Xueyun picked up the teacup served by the maid and took a sip before she sneered and said, "mistress Yun, are you saying that you never fought with her nuonya Ting?"
Gu Yun lowered his head as he said, his tone was pitiful, "Yes, I did have a fight with madam Ting, but I didn't kill him, empress."
Xueyun glanced at Gu Yun through her narrowed eyes, observing every subtle change of her facial expression, and asked again: "Alright, tell me, what are you arguing about?"
“Half a month ago, you told me to hand over the internal affairs to madam Ning, and assigned madam Ting to audit accounting. The accountant did not find any fault at that time, so I completed the handover with Madam Ning in two days. However, a few days ago, Ms. Ting suddenly accused me of embezzling the homework funds, saying that I had bribed the accountant, and she wanted to audit the accounting again.” mistress Yun started crying when she said. “But it has been more than ten days since the homework was submitted, if any problems arise in the current accounting, the, who will know if it has anything to do with me or whether I am responsible for it or not? Therefore, I don't agree to do any more accounting audits, which is why we argue."
Gu Yun knelt down with his palm pressed against the ground while telling Xueyun what had happened. His hand was pressed so firmly that his nails were already crooked, but he did not seem to notice it.
Right now, Gu Yun hated Xueyun's guts.
Before today, he had never really respected Xueyun. He was just pretending to be polite. But today, he had to put his pride before Xueyun, which was completely against his wishes.
He heard about what happened at the Black Lily residence earlier today. Prince Chen's attitude in defending Xueyun was quite clear. Although prince Chen did not give any explicit instructions, he may have put Xueyun to lead the murder investigation.
At this moment, other than Xueyun, he was the one who had the strongest murder motive in the entire residence, as everyone knew that he had a quarrel with Zhao Yunting recently.
Therefore, if he were to be tough on Xueyun, the latter would probably only claim that he was the murderer.
“Well, maybe you killed Madame Ting because she had evidence to prove your embezzlement? As long as he dies, there will be no one to expose your crimes, so you can get away with it.” Xueyun broke the cup on the table and emphasized her words suddenly.
Just then, Ju's servant came in haste and bowed to whisper in Xueyun's ear, "the empress, the War Minister's wife, Miss. Zhao, was here, saying that she had not seen Madam Ting for a long time, and wanted to visit and catch up with him."
Wife of the Minister of War, Miss. Zhao's? Yeah, that was so much fun.
Zhao Yunting had been married for over two years, and this mistress had never come to visit. Why did Madam Zhao suddenly come when Zhao Yunting had just been killed? He's obviously planning something.
"servant Ju, go tell Mrs. Zhao that unfortunately, madam Ting has died, and tell her that we are sorry for her loss." Xueyun will send Lady Zhao away.
Perplexed after hearing that, Ju's maid did not leave, but looked at Xueyun and said, "an empress, may I suggest that you go to the lobby and meet Ms. Zhao's? One of the servants informed her that Madame Ting was dead in front of Ms. Zhao, and he's making a fuss in the lobby at the moment."
The wife of the Minister of War is an ******famous in the capital, who never cares whether or not she would publicly humiliate her husband. As long as he believed that the truth was on his side, he would continue to scold and grumble aggressively.
It is a joke that the mastermind behind all this sends an******* as the pioneer!
Up next…
Xueyun could not help but ponder. It seemed that the message had not been delivered quickly enough, so the War Minister had yet to realize that Zhao Yunting died outside the mansion when she was dating her secret lover. If not, Mrs. Zhao would never dare to come here.
After all, it was somewhat embarrassing for prince Chen and the war minister.
Xueyun went out of her mind and got up, saying, "Well, I'll go to see him."
He stopped beside Gu Yun and said, “Bring madam Yun back to Lily's residence. Without my permission, no one would let him out!"
He treated Gu Yun as a prisoner.
Gao Yun grabbed Xueyun's thigh and cried profusely, "an empress, you have no proof! You can't do this to me! Empress !"
Xueyun noticed that the guards were still standing still, so she scolded, “Why are you still standing there? Bring madam Yun back to Lily's residence!”
Only then did the guard step forward and take Gu Yun away, who was still crying and struggling. After which, Xueyun said to Yu Ningning, "mistress Ning, please leave as well."
Madam Ning bowed to Xueyun before she left gracefully. He was calm and unperturbed the entire time, without the slightest fluctuation of emotions on his face.
" servant Ju, take me to Mrs. Zhao." Xueyun withdrew her gaze from Yu Ningning and said to Ju's servant.
"Yes." Yeah."
They went all the way from the backyard to the lobby and heard a loud noise in the lobby from afar, that sounded like a rat scolding and nagging in the street loudly so that he could be heard by everyone.
