Chen Linglong felt a little uncomfortable seeing Zi'an again, but it was only for a moment. Life was tiring, and she didn't think she could talk about dignity at this time.
"Chen Linglong, how did you find Liu Liu?" Murong Jie asked.
Chen Linglong said, "Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Chen family is unconscious at the door of our house. Before midnight, I went out to lock the gate of the courtyard and saw a person lying at the door. I went out with a lamp and realized it was the eldest daughter of the Chen family. I hurriedly knocked on the neighbor's door and asked a few strong men to carry her back."
"Have you heard any unusual noises before?" Murong Jie asked again.
Chen Linglong shook her head, "I didn't hear it."
Ni Rong said, "Your Highness, I asked the neighbors nearby, and they all said they didn't hear any noise."
This confirms that Liu Liu did not call for help or even make a sound, which means she was knocked unconscious.
Murong Jie asked Chen Linglong to come over mainly to see if she was lying, and obviously she was not.
After sending Chen Linglong away, Ni Rong continued to report, "There were traces of dragging on the ground, but they were not very obvious. That was a civilian area with many people talking and coming and going. However, because it was night, few people went out."
"There are no traces of blood in the traces of dragging?"
"No!"
"This means that she was dragged to Chen Linglong's door and chopped."
"It's possible, because Chen Linglong's door is at the innermost part of the alley, which is the quietest. If we do it there, no passersby will see it unless someone in the house finds out."
"If no one saw it, there is no witness. Has Liu Liu's valuables been lost?" Murong Jie asked.
Chen Taijun said: "The purse is gone, the jewelry is gone, and all the valuables are gone."
"Is it a robbery?" Ni Rong asked.
Murong Jie shook his head, "No, robbery won't make her unconscious. The one who made her unconscious must be someone she knows."
She knew the person and was not on guard, which proved that she was either very familiar with this person or this person did not arouse her guard at all.
Chen Linglong did not lie. Chen Taijun and Murong Jie could both reach a consensus that Chen Linglong was not a sophisticated person. If she lied, both of them would be able to see it.
So, who is it
Liu Liu is a warm person who has no grudges against anyone. Who would be so cruel to her
Zi'an looked at Murong Jie and saw that he was frowning, which seemed to be a clue.
However, since he didn't say anything, it would be a bad idea to ask in front of everyone.
Liu Liu got into trouble, and it happened before her marriage, which made everyone very sad.
Xiao Tuo went back to accompany her. This silly boy didn't realize how worried he was about her until Liu Liu got into trouble.
After a while, while everyone was not paying attention, Zi'an pulled Murong Jie away and asked, "What do you think?"
Murong Jie shook his head, "I have some guesses, but I'm not sure."
"Can you explain it out loud for analysis?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie looked at her, "Xiao Tuo married Liu Liu and became relatives with the Chen family. When Xiao Xiao gets better, he will marry my aunt. What does this mean?"
"Does it mean that the Xiao family will grow rapidly?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie's face was gloomy. "The Xiao family's current position is to stand with this king. If this king's guess is correct, the ultimate goal of hurting Liu Liu is this king."
"Who do you suspect?" Zi'an felt that it was a bit cruel to ask this. He didn't dare to make any move on Taifu Liang for the time being because the queen had been deposed and the only one left was the noble concubine.
Murong Jie looked at her, "What do you think?"
Zian hugged him gently, "Love whoever you want, don't even think about escaping if you find out."
Murong Jie is different from her. She only has a little bit of feelings for Xia Huaijun left by the original owner, but Murong Jie is not like that. He has always been full of affection for the Noble Concubine since he grew up. So, he said that he would build a house for the Noble Concubine by the lake so that she could enjoy her old age, because he thought this was the Noble Concubine's wish.
It seemed that he was not avoiding, but in fact he was avoiding in subconscious mind. He ignored the noble concubine and just confronted her coldly without any real confrontation. In fact, there was still a hope in his heart that she would turn back.
At the same time, he knew in his heart that she would not change, because he knew that once ambition took root in a person's heart, it would be difficult to remove it.
Therefore, he is very conflicted.
However, this time, Murong Jie and Zi'an really wronged the noble concubine.
It was not done by the Noble Concubine. Although she was afraid of the alliance between the Xiao family and the Chen family, she would not be so foolish as to take action now, because the slightest mistake would result in Prince Nan Huai being unable to return to Beijing.
Naturally, Master Liang would not take action either.
This was done by the prince.
That stupid and arrogant prince had the spur of the moment decision to harm Liu Liu. It was all because Xiao Tuo had caused him to be beaten by Prince An at the Princess's Mansion.
Ever since he and Xia Wan'er broke off their engagement, they had stopped contacting each other until a while ago, when Xia Wan'er, who had spent all her money, sent someone to find him and said that she could help him deal with Xia Zian. The prince found Xia Wan'er, who had shed the halo of a prime minister's daughter and put on the clothes and attire of a beautiful girl, a bit fresh, and they got back together.
Yesterday afternoon, the prince went out for a walk and saw Liu Liu walking alone on East Street. Liu Liu was planning to go to the palace at that time, so she planned to buy two jars of good wine on East Street, but she didn't expect to see the prince.
The prince hated Xiao Tuo, so he used the same old trick to deceive her as he did to Yi'er, but he changed the way he said it.
He told Chen Liuliu that he saw Xiao Tuo being besieged by several people. Chen Liuliu was not as naive as Yi'er. She didn't believe him at all and ignored him. Seeing that she was not fooled, the prince also decided to give up.
However, it was Liu Liu's destiny to suffer this disaster. As soon as the prince left, Liu Liu heard people talking about several people fighting in front of them, and one of them was seriously injured.
Liu Liu thought it was Xiao Tuo, so she chased after him to find the prince and asked him to take her there in a carriage.
His original intention was to kidnap Chen Liuliu and detain her for a few days so as to make the Chen family anxious but also to break up the relationship. In order to shirk the blame, he deliberately let her off the carriage near the banyan tree in the East Market and told her to walk over, which was not far ahead.
However, not long after Liu Liu got off the carriage, she fainted. The prince who followed her immediately ordered someone to put her back on the carriage. It turned out that the moment Liu Liu got off the carriage, the prince's guard blew a puff of smoke at Liu Liu when he lifted the curtain, but Liu Liu did not notice it at that time.
After taking Chen Liuliu away, he didn't know where to put her. After walking around for a while, he remembered Xia Wan'er's house.
When I arrived at Xia Wan'er's place, Chen Linglong had gone out and had not returned yet, so only Xia Wan'er was there.
However, the entrance to the alley was very small and the carriage could not enter, so they had to stop the carriage at the entrance of the alley and drag Chen Liuliu off and into the alley, leaving traces of dragging on the ground.
When Xia Wan'er saw Chen Liuliu, she came up with a plan. She said that someone should seriously injure Chen Liuliu, and then she and her mother would send her back to the Chen family. By then, the Chen family would owe them a favor, and they could gradually get to know each other better and win over the Chen family.
Xia Wan'er didn't really want to win over the Chen family, she just wanted to get some benefits, because although the prince had resumed his relationship with her, apart from giving her a few taels of pocket money every now and then, he didn't give her anything else.
The prince was also a good-for-nothing. After hearing Xia Wan'er's plan, he thought it was feasible. In addition, he had offended the Grand Tutor by deposing the Queen, and he wanted to make some achievements to show the Grand Tutor, so he agreed to Xia Wan'er's plan.
