Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
40. A suicidal waitress?

Chen did not return to his residence until dusk.

After taking off the clothes he wore at the Yuan Shu Clinic during the day and the loose clothes he usually wore, he returned to his usual weakened state.

The private dinner was made by Xueyun as usual. Four dishes, including one soup, are simple yet tasty. And it's romantic with candlelight.

After dinner, the waiter cleaned the table, and Xueyun was busy again.

“According to people close to the scholar, a woman had contacted him very often before he died. Qing Yan had brought someone to the mansion to identify the woman, and she had just reported to me that the woman was Gu Yun's servant. "

Zhao Yunting's murder has not been solved, and now all the evidence suggests that Gu Yun was involved. Chen was not surprised, saying, "Let's wait. The results will soon find a way for us."

Neither Xueyun nor Chen were convinced to prevent the current findings. They knew some people were trying to manipulate the murder, and they were just playing along, so it was no surprise that the case would lead to Gu Yun in the end.

Since the phagal trapped Xueyun, they had to find a scapegoat to cover their own tracks.

Pondering for a moment, Xueyun said, "We can't let Gu Yun die for now."

Chen looked at Xueyun, his eyebrows raised, saying, "Why? You got feelings for her now?"

"Of course not!" Xueyun could not help but smile, saying, "this residence is being watched every second. Even though we don't know who manipulated Gu Yun, keeping him alive is a containment for a number of powers."

Chen of course knew it himself, but he just did not want to hear Xueyun mention a woman's name.

As Chen said, "the truth "quite soon found its way for them.

The next day, a servant came to report that Zhao Yunting's servant had committed suicide. A confession was found beside his body, where he confessed that he had poisoned Zhao Yunting and tried to trap Xueyun. According to his statement, he killed Zhao Yunting because he knew Zhao Yunting, who had tortured him a long time ago and even allowed the scholar to abuse him.

He tried to frame Xueyun so that she could escape the killing. Xueyun put down the acknowledgement letter, which was handed over by the maid, and sighed. Sure enough, they made someone into a scapegoat.

However, why would they choose Zhao Yunting's servant, not Gu Yun?

Sensing Xueyun's confusion, Chen explained, "A few days ago, I told my servants for fake news, saying that the maid wanted to see me."

Xueyun was suddenly enlightened.

Chen knew early on that the mastermind behind this wanted to make Gu Yun a scapegoat, and he also knew that Gu Yun could not die at this moment, either, so he deliberately sent out a misleading message making Zhao Yunting's servant a scapegoat. The maidservants were worried that it would drive them away, they had no choice but to overturn the initial choice of making Gu Yun a scapegoat and replacing him with that servant.

They silenced the servant by killing him.

Nevertheless, Gu Yun was safe for now.

"I'll go check on Gu Yun." Xueyun got up as she said. "I think I might be able to find a clue to the answer."

"Pulse. I'm coming with you." Said Chen. They knew there was someone behind all this, but they didn't know who it was. Therefore, they would follow whatever instructions they had.

After he saw from the female servant that the real killer had committed suicide, the anger he endured for days began to appear.

He vented his anger on his servant, beating anyone within his reach brutally.

All the female servants were afraid, they felt aggrieved and angry.

Eunuch Ju's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Gu Yun hid his cruel feelings in an instant and his emotions were straight in front of the mirror before he came out to greet prince Chen.

'the prince should be here to comfort me.' At this thought, he felt like Xueyun had really helped him by making prince Chen pity him.

Gu Yun opened the door happily, but the smile on his face froze when he saw Xueyun supporting Chen to walk towards him.

The next second, Gu Yun advanced with a smile.

"Prince Chen, Empress Bai." Although she also welcomed the empress, her gaze was never spared from Chen's face. Although Chen's body was weak, his face was extremely charming.

Gu Yun invited Chen and Xueyun into the living room and Diq stood beside them. After a while, she cried, looking.

Not asking why he was crying, Rather, he said, "The killer who had killed Zhao Yunting has committed suicide, but there is something I don't understand, can you explain it to me? " Chen asked in a harsh tone.

Gu Yun was surprised at the fact that Chen was not here to comfort him, but to interrogate him as if he was guilty.  He defended himself in a sad tone, “Because the killer killed himself, it means I didn't. Why are you still doing this to me, prince? "

He glanced at Xueyun as he declared, he blamed Xueyun. He believed he must have said something to prince Chen that caused a misunderstanding.

Xueyun noticed Gu Yun's angry gaze, she knew what he was thinking, but she didn't care. "Through our investigation, the prince has discovered that your servant had contacted the scholar frequently before he died. Madam Yun, do you know why?" Xueyun.

As soon as she finished speaking, the female servant knelt down suddenly before mistress Yun could react, saying, "Empress, please have mercy on me. I was just following Madam Yun's orders to discuss something with the scholar. It wasn't my intention to kill Madame Ting. "

"Miss Yun, what do you think?" Xueyun looked at Gu Yun, waiting for her next appearance.

Gu Yun did not expect that his servant would betray him so easily. She had no choice but to admit, “I did send my servant to meet with that scholar, but I had no intention of killing Madame Ting. “

"When and how did you see Madame Ting's affair and the scholar?” Xueyun ignored the matter for now, as it was more important to know the real mastermind.

However, Gu Yun also did not know the answer to this question. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "I found out about her affair when Madame Ting picked up the account book, but I can't remember how I got the information."

She vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned this to her, but she could not remember who it was.
