I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 44: Unjustly accused (fourth update: please subscribe)

Being suspected by his parents, Prince Jing was really angry and aggrieved. In order to prove his innocence, he went out of his way to tell all the embarrassing things about himself as a child, without even caring about his face.

 I bullied another girl and even caused her to seek death. Is this kind of thing allowed to be admitted casually?

Don't say he hasn't done it. If he really did such a sinful thing, his father would have his legs broken.

He is a famous dandy in Kyoto, yes, but he can't do everything.

His father is the emperor's younger brother, and his status is somewhat sensitive.

 In order to avoid making the emperor suspicious, his father could only be an idle prince who only knew pleasure and had no ambition.

 As the legitimate son of Prince Jing, his father never asked him to do anything to improve himself since he was a child.

As a dandy, as long as he doesn't rebel, he can eat, drink and have fun, fight **** and walk birds, throw pots and shoot arrows, and even be a bit domineering, and his father will let him. But you can't do things like bullying the people and bullying girls from good families.

When Princess Jing heard what her son said, she felt that she had wronged her son.

As Princess Jing, she naturally knew the emperor's taboos.

In order to ensure the safety of the family, Princess Jing had no choice but to accept that her husband could only be an idle prince, and her only legitimate son could only be a playboy.

Although she accepted her fate, Princess Jing felt that she owed her son.

She does not have to follow her son in everything. Princess Jing feels that it is okay to be a dandy, but not a short-lived dandy.

For the sake of her son's health, Princess Jing did not marry her son early and take concubines like other women in Kyoto.

 Therefore, let alone wives and concubines, Prince Jing did not even have a single maiden with him.

Prince Jing and his wife never let him go to the brothel to drink wine, because they were worried that he would hurt his body by wandering around outside.

"Miss Ling, then... could it be that the girl got the wrong person?" Princess Jing originally wanted to say something to the female puppet, but she was afraid that her words would irritate her and she would suffer.

When Prince Jing saw Ling Chu frowning, he was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so he quickly swore, "Miss Ling, I really don't have a crown prince, and I have never bullied a girl. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning." …”

Lingchu believed that Prince Jing was not lying and that the boyishness in him was indeed not broken.

She also had a headache for a moment. If this matter was not handled well, the female puppet might turn into a resentful ghost, which would be very troublesome to deal with.

But the female puppet kept saying that she was the crown prince of Prince Jing, but Prince Jing had not married yet, so I don’t know where this peach blossom disaster came from.

Seeing that Ling Chu was also helpless, Ning Chuyi, who had been standing quietly aside, reminded her, "Ask the girl her name, where she lives, and if she has any family members."

Ling Chu slapped his forehead, yes, since things have reached a stalemate, it would be better to start elsewhere. Maybe we can find some clues from the girl's family.

Ling Chu turned to the female puppet and said, "Have you heard it? What is your name, where do you live, and do you have any relatives at home?"

 Some people become puppets after death, and their memories of their lives become blurred.

 After the death of the female puppet, she became half-informed about what happened during her lifetime. When she heard Ling Chu's question, she looked confused, "What is my name? My name is... barking, ah... I don't remember."

Seeing her frowning and looking in pain, Ling Chu had to change the question, "Girl, what do you like?"

"What do you like, like...I remembered, I like embroidery, I am an embroidery girl."

“Yes, I am an embroiderer. Everyone praises me for my good embroidery skills.”

Thinking of the embroidery workers, the female puppet finally remembered her name and said excitedly, "By the way, my name is Xiuyue, Yu Xiuyue."

Lingchu nodded, "So your name is Yu Xiuyue, which is a good name. You like embroidery, so do you put the things you embroider on consignment in a silk and satin shop?"

In order to get more clues, Ling Chu could only patiently guide the female puppet to say more words. Maybe this female puppet really loves embroidery, and the memory of this aspect still remains. "The owner of Songji Silk and Satin Shop said that the patterns I embroidered can be fake, but Brother Lu said that the price offered by Songji Silk and Satin Shop was too high." If it’s lower, let me put the embroidery in Yunxia Pavilion and sell it for a higher price.”

What surprised Lingchu was that when Brother Lu was mentioned, the female puppet showed a hint of shyness on her face.

Ling Chu's heart moved and he quickly asked the female puppet, "Is Brother Lu a member of your family? What's his name?"

 “Brother Lu, his name is Lu Chengliu.”

Although there was no blood on the female puppet's pale face, Ling Chu could see admiration in her eyes.

 “Is Lu Chengliu your husband?”

 The female puppet smiled foolishly, "Brother Lu said that after he reaches high school, he will marry me..."

I don’t know what came to mind, but the smile on the female puppet’s face suddenly faded, and her voice suddenly became sharp, “Everything is a lie...it’s all a lie...”

"You heartless man...why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me? How am I inferior to her..."

The female puppet didn't know what she remembered, and her expression suddenly became crazy. A line of blood and tears fell from her dull eyes. She tore her long hair with both hands and cried and shouted.

"not good…"

Ling Chu saw her suddenly going crazy, and the evil energy on her body was rising. He was afraid that she would lose her last consciousness and turn into a ghost, so he quickly took out a Requiem Talisman and photographed her in the air.

The female puppet struggled for a while and then slowly calmed down.

Lingchu saw that her eyes were dull and her consciousness became more confused than before, so he gave up the plan of continuing to talk and used a container to collect the ghost of the female puppet.

Prince Jing hurriedly asked, "Miss Ling, what did the puppet say? Did she recognize the wrong person? I just heard you mention Lu Chengliu. Is he the husband of the puppet?"

Ling Chu shook his head, "I only found out that the girl's name is Yu Xiuyue. As for Lu Chengliu, he should be a scholar. As for his relationship with Yu Xiuyue, I haven't had time to ask.

However, from what Yu Xiuyue said, it seemed that Lu Chengliu had betrayed her. "

Prince Jing couldn't help but get excited, "So, that Lu Chengliu is the culprit who killed that female puppet! Father, mother and concubine, you see, I didn't lie, I was wronged."

 He was unlucky, and he didn't know why he was mistakenly recognized by the female puppet.

  Prince Jing and Princess Jing were relieved to know that their son had done nothing to offend the girl.

Ling Chu shook his head, "Whether Yu Xiuyue was killed by Lu Chengliu remains to be verified."

King Jing said to Ning Chuyi, "There are only two names, and I haven't asked about the others. I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Mr. Ning to help me investigate."

Ning Chuyi has a good relationship with Prince Jing and did not refuse this matter. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to Jin Yiwei."

"By the way, Yu Xiuyue also mentioned Songji Satin Shop and Yunxia Pavilion. You can go to those two shops and ask about it." Ling Chu thought for a while and asked Chang An beside him to get her a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

 She wanted to draw the appearance of the female puppet, so that Master Ning could investigate more easily.

 “Huh…why is it her?”

 Seeing the portrait painted by Ling Chu, Prince Jing suddenly exclaimed.
