Chapter 28: Showing a Flaw

Showing a Flaw

First letting Qiao Yuaner leave, and then in a short while, letting her come back... Nie Jinxuan's approach was truly baffling.

Qiao Yuaner had been holding back anger, so as soon as she returned, she rushed to Nie Jinxuan.

"Nie Jinxuan, what exactly do you want?"

At this very moment, Qiao Yuaner's ferocious expression made it seem as if she wanted to swallow Nie Jinxuan in one bite. But while speaking, Qiao Yuaner turned her eyes slightly to glance at the maid Xiao Ru standing to the side.

Qiao Yuaner's movement was very small, so small that it was almost imperceptible, but it was seen clearly by Nie Jinxuan. Instantly, the corner of Nie Jinxuan's eye twitched, and she began to pace slowly.

"I don't want anything, I just want to verify one thing with Miss Qiao... just now Xiao Ru said that after eating dinner last night, she was with you the whole time. I wonder if that is the truth?"

Nie Jinxuan spoke in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuaner was obviously stunned, but then her indignant expression relaxed, and she proudly lifted her chin and responded:

"Of course!"

"Is that really so? Did Xiao Ru not leave for even a moment?"

"Of course not!"

"Is that so... but that's strange. If that's really the case, then why did Xiao Ru say just now that she had gone to the kitchen once?"

Nie Jinxuan's voice remained indifferent. Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuaner was startled abruptly and instinctively turned to look at Xiao Ru, only to realize that Nie Jinxuan, who had been pacing, was standing exactly between her and Xiao Ru.

Instantly, a flash of panic crossed Qiao Yuaner's eyes, but Nie Jinxuan smiled slightly.

"What? Miss Qiao doesn't remember? Or is it that Xiao Ru is lying? But someone has already stood out to say that they saw Xiao Ru go out last night..."

Watching Qiao Yuaner quietly, Nie Jinxuan took a step forward. At this moment, upon hearing that someone had seen Xiao Ru, Qiao Yuaner's eyes moved, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to respond:

"Yes, Xiao Ru went to the kitchen, I told her to go, so what?"

The large front hall was silent. Everyone's gaze fell on Qiao Yuaner, filled with surprise.

Because everyone remembered that just now Xiao Ru said she had been with Qiao Yuaner the whole time and hadn't left. But now, Qiao Yuaner actually said she had told Xiao Ru to go to the kitchen... didn't that mean Xiao Ru was lying?!

And the person who lied at this critical juncture was undoubtedly the murderer!

The air was filled with eeriness. Looking at the surprised expressions of the crowd, Qiao Yuaner reacted after a brief moment of daze.

"... You... you tricked me?!"

Qiao Yuaner's complexion changed drastically. But Nie Jinxuan pursed her lips slightly.

"Weren't you also tricking me?"

"You... you... Nie Jinxuan, you are deliberately framing me! You, you..."

Pointing her finger at Nie Jinxuan, Qiao Yuaner turned and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Prince, Prince, you must uphold justice for this concubine! This concubine is innocent, it is the Princess Consort who is framing this concubine, Prince... wuwu... Prince, you must believe this concubine..."

Qiao Yuaner wailed loudly. At this moment, Yin Fengzhan, sitting in his seat, merely glanced at her with an unmoved expression, then looked up at Nie Jinxuan.

Their eyes met, and neither spoke. But Nie Jinxuan strangely knew what that man was thinking. Therefore, in a fleeting moment, Nie Jinxuan raised her eyebrows instantly and said:

"Miss Qiao, whether I am framing you or not, you know it in your heart! However, I can tell you with certainty, even if you hadn't shown a flaw today, I could still be certain who the murderer is!"

After saying this, Nie Jinxuan turned around and instantly grabbed Xiao Ru's left hand.

"And this is the evidence!" ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
