" Some time ago, this servant's father was seriously ill and had pleaded with Miss Li Qi. However, Miss Li Qi was only focused on pleasing Miss Yun Ying and did not care about this servant's matters. Father almost died because of this and this servant could not take it anymore, so….. so….." As Lu Ping spoke up to here, she started sobbing again.
Liu Weilan sized up Lvping. After a while, she suddenly shouted,""Bold Liping, you actually dare to pretend to be a murderer, protect a murderer, and disrupt this princess 'case.!”
Lu Ping's body trembled. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She kowtowed again and again." I didn't. I didn't cover up for anyone. It was all my doing. Madam, please grant me death!"”
Liu Weilan smiled coldly," Is that so? Then, can you answer a few questions of mine?”
Lvping said in fear," Yes.”
"Alright, as you said, since you hate Liqi because of your father's matter, and even killed her, it means that you are a filial person. According to what I know, Liqi has always treated you well. It can be said that if you develop normally in this residence, you will definitely find a good home one day. If you kill Liqi, it will only harm you. Do you think I will believe that you will do such a stupid thing?”
"What Furen said, isn't it too arbitrary?”Just as Liu Weilan was about to continue speaking, a woman's gentle voice suddenly came from the door. Yun Ying was leading many of her concubines towards Liu Weilan.
Liu Weilan looked at Yun Ying quietly." What do you think, Sister Yun Ying?”
Yun Ying snorted coldly," I dare not say that I have a wise opinion. It's just that right now, Sister Liqi's corpse is not cold yet, and the murderer is right in front of you. Why doesn't Madam immediately punish the murderer and avenge Sister Liqi? Instead, she's trying her best to absolve the murderer here?!”
"Oh?" Liu Weilan glanced at Lvping indifferently. Ever since Yun Ying came, she had obviously become much quieter. She could not help but deepen the doubts in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She said,"I wonder why Sister Yunying is so sure that Lvping is the murderer?”
"That slut admitted it herself. Can't you be sure that she's the murderer?" Yun Ying said bluntly.!”
Liu Weilan raised her eyebrows." Sister Yunying, I respect you for entering the residence earlier than me. I treat you as a sister and have always been tolerant of you. However, please don't forget that you are now the Secondary Consort, the woman with the highest status in the residence. Please watch your attitude, or you will bear the consequences!”Liu Weilan's voice became stern and sharp. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, especially Yun Ying, whose face turned pale.
Yun Ying's face turned green and yellow. She realized that Liu Weilan was no longer the same Liu Weilan from before. She could let them bully her whenever their lord was not around. However, this woman had changed too much. In the past, even when she was almost beaten to death by them, she had never seen such an aura erupt from her!
Yun Ying's eyes continuously flickered. After a long while, he finally bowed respectfully and said,"Furen, please forgive me. Younger Sister was only disrespectful to Furen because of the excessive grief of Younger Sister Liqi's death.”
Liu Weilan laughed coldly, but her evaluation of Yun Ying was even higher. This Yun Ying didn't seem to be that stupid.
"Alright, Younger Sister's words are too serious. It's just that Elder Sister has a responsibility, so I hope Younger Sister can understand.”
"Of course." Yun Ying smiled slightly." It's my sister who was rash. Madam, please continue."”Yun Ying retreated to the side as he spoke, but his eyes lingered on Liu Weilan's body for a few times with a deep meaning. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Lvping, continue." Liu Weilan nodded and looked at Lvping again.
However, Lu Ping only kept kowtowing and refused to say another word. At this time, a concubine beside Yun Ying, who was usually rude and unreasonable, could not help but say,"Furen, this servant has already admitted it. I don't know what Furen means by refusing to convict him.”
Liu Weilan looked at the woman indifferently. She recognized this woman. She was also involved in the death of the original owner!
"Sister Meiqing's words are reasonable, but just as Sister Yunying said, Sister Liqi's corpse is not cold yet. For this, this princess must give her justice and find the real murderer. Otherwise, Sister Liqi will not die in peace!”
"Dare I ask elder sister, why are you so sure that Lvping is not the murderer? Could it be that this murderer was actually her sister herself?”Mei Qing looked at Liu Weilan, her tone full of provocation.
Liu Weilan remained unmoved and said calmly," There must be a motive for killing someone. Lvping said that she hated Liqi because of her father's matter and killed her out of revenge. However, she has been managing Liqi's life and there are too many opportunities to kill her. Why did she choose to kill her after a period of time? This doesn't make sense. Secondly, this concubine believes that she has no enmity with Lu Ping and has never had any conflict with her. This concubine admits that on the surface, this concubine really can't get away with this matter, but why would Lu Ping frame this concubine? And why would he suddenly jump out and admit that he was the murderer? Thirdly, everyone knows that Lvping is Liqi's personal servant girl, and she doesn't have many chances to leave the residence, so it's not easy to get a sufficient dose of arsenium. Fourthly…"
Liu Weilan suddenly paused and looked at the crowd with a faint smile. She then said,""Speaking of motive, everyone here actually has more motive than Lvping, right?”
"In that case, Madam insists that Lu Ping is not the murderer?”Mei Qing continued to speak, but her voice was clearly a few decibels lower.
"No, I've never said that.”Liu Weilan shook her head." I'm just objectively analyzing based on the existing evidence. However, anything is possible, so I can't make wild guesses.”
"According to Madam, this case should be dragged on like this?”
" Of course not," Liu Weilan shook her head again and looked at Yun Ying meaningfully."Sister Yunying, don't you think so?"
"Ah?" Yun Ying was shocked. She didn't know why Liu Weilan would change the topic to her.
"Hehe, elder sister is just casually asking. There's no need for younger sister to take it to heart. I believe that all of you did not rest well last night. Why don't you go back and rest first?”
"That's naturally good. It's been hard on Madam.”Yun Ying was the first to speak, but his expression was a little unnatural. He bowed and left.
"Madam, you've worked hard!" Seeing this, the concubines immediately bowed and left. They were originally here to accompany Yun Ying. Since Yun Ying had left, there was no reason for them to stay here. Moreover, Liu Weilan always gave people a cold and wise feeling. Staying with her always gave people the feeling that they were seen through. This feeling was not very good.
