Chapter 6: The Thief Crying 'Stop Thief

The Thief Crying 'Stop Thief'

Regardless of what the man in her previous memories had been like toward her, at this very moment, Nie Jinxuan was truly furious!

She hadn't killed anyone, she hadn't done the deed, yet this man before her was locking her up without distinguishing right from wrong. This was simply unreasonable!

Nie Jinxuan was no soft pushover; the previous one wasn't, and she certainly wasn't now! She just forgot that this was the Dongling Kingdom, and this was the Chen Wangfu. And in the Chen Wangfu, no one dared to speak to Yin Fengzhan like this!

So, the moment her words fell, everyone present was startled. It also caused Yin Fengzhan, who had already turned to walk out, to stop in his tracks, and then slowly turn around.

Yin Fengzhan didn't speak, but his tightly pursed lips revealed a hint of displeasure. But right now, Nie Jinxuan couldn't care about that. She looked straight into his eyes and tightened her expression.

"On what grounds are you locking me up? I've already said, I didn't kill him!"

"Or are you saying that anyone found at a crime scene is automatically the murderer?!"

Nie Jinxuan spoke with righteous indignation, completely unaware of how many people her words had just scared to death. After speaking, she stepped toward the corpse.

"It's true, when the body was discovered this morning, I was at the crime scene. When I regained consciousness, the dagger was in my hand, and there was blood on my body—that is all true! But please look closely: the killer has blood on them, but based on this amount of bleeding, it is not enough to be fatal!"

"And there is no blood anywhere else in the room. This leads to two deductions: First, the body was moved here, meaning this is not the primary crime scene. Second, the amount of blood is too small to be fatal, which means the victim's fatal wound was not in the chest. To put it clearly, the wound in the chest was inflicted by someone after the victim was already dead, which is why this phenomenon occurred!"

From the moment she regained consciousness until now, Nie Jinxuan hadn't touched the body, so at this moment, she could only analyze the situation based on what she saw with her eyes. But even so, it was enough to prove her innocence!

"But regardless of which of these two situations it is, it only proves one problem: the killer murdered the victim and then designed a frame-up to pin it on me!"

……

The room was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Nie Jinxuan with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster. Nie Jinxuan herself stared fixedly at the man before her, waiting for the result without blinking.

No one spoke, and the air was filled with tension and strangeness. Then, just as Nie Jinxuan was getting impatient and wanted to say something again, Yin Fengzhan, who had been silent, suddenly darkened his cold eyes.

"There is another possibility: that you first drugged the victim, murdered them elsewhere, dragged them here, and then put on a show of the thief crying 'stop thief'!"

Yin Fengzhan finally spoke! But his words left Nie Jinxuan dumbfounded! After speaking, Yin Fengzhan didn't even look at her and turned to walk out.

"Take the Princess Consort away. Without my order, no one is allowed to visit!"

……

A homicide occurred in the Chen Wangfu, and the Princess Consort became the murder suspect—this was something no one had expected. With Yin Fengzhan's return, although the matter was temporarily suppressed, it couldn't stop the rumors from spreading!

Qiao Yuan'er and the others, who had originally wanted to show off their charms in front of Yin Fengzhan, could only return to their rooms in embarrassment after such a commotion. Only Han Luoxue, the secondary consort in charge, followed him, making Qiao Yuan'er and the others grit their teeth in jealousy.

Afterward, Han Luoxue followed Yin Fengzhan to his room to change clothes and wash up, taking care of him attentively. At the same time, she talked about the major and minor affairs of the residence over these past days. To this, Yin Fengzhan only lowered his eyes and remained silent, not saying a word.

Afterward, when she had finished talking about the affairs of the residence, Han Luoxue finally looked up at Yin Fengzhan slightly.

"That is roughly how things are in the residence; there haven't been any mishaps. However, regarding today's matter..."

Quietly observing Yin Fengzhan's expression, Han Luoxue spoke in a low voice. Seeing that the man before her was not angry, she continued.

"It is now the talk of the residence. Although the Princess Consort denies it, the dagger and the blood on her body do make people suspicious. Therefore, Sister Yuan'er and Sister Yuxia suggested reporting it to the authorities, but I always felt it wasn't quite appropriate. After all, this is a major matter, and it wouldn't be a good thing if it got out..."

"Uh... of course, such a thing happening in the residence is due to my negligence, so I ask the Prince to punish me... I just don't know what your intention is..."

Han Luoxue probed cautiously. At this point, Yin Fengzhan, who had been pursing his lips in silence, finally moved his eyelids. Han Luoxue hurried to explain something. But before she could speak, Yin Fengzhan directly raised his hand and brushed away her hand, which was resting on his waist to adjust his belt.

"Go down!"

Yin Fengzhan's expression remained unchanged; he didn't even look at Han Luoxue. Han Luoxue, with words already at her throat, was startled. But then she composed her expression and bowed gently and gracefully.

"Yes!"

Responding softly, Han Luoxue retreated quietly without saying another word. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
