Liu Weilan's expression froze, and she slowly let go of her hand. Hehe, was I thinking too much again?
Seeing Liu Weilan's lonely expression, Zi 'er immediately grabbed her hand and said anxiously,""Furen, don't misunderstand. Zi 'er is not willing to acknowledge Furen as an elder sister because Zi' er does not wish for Furen to be ridiculed.”
"Oh?" Liu Weilan's interest was piqued." Why?”
Zi 'er's small face instantly darkened." Madam, I'm just a servant."”
Liu Weilan was instantly stunned. Seeing Liu Weilan in a daze, a faint warmth surged through Zi 'er's heart. It was obvious that her lady had never treated her as a servant.
"Madam, I know that you are a good person. Zi 'er is willing to serve you for the rest of her life, but Zi' er cannot become your sister. If that happens, Madam will become a joke. Even if they don't say it in front of you, they will definitely point fingers at you behind your back.”
Hearing this, Liu Weilan couldn't help but laugh. So this was what this child was worried about. If it were any other person in this place where the hierarchy was strict, they might be afraid. But if it was Liu Weilan, she really didn't have such concerns. Respect? Status? Hehe, it's just a matter of who knows how to reincarnate better.!
"Zi 'er, I have the final say in this matter!”Liu Weilan looked at Zi 'er and spoke seriously. Her tone was filled with an unquestionable domineering aura.
Zi 'er was stunned. She obviously didn't understand what Liu Weilan meant.
"Zi 'er, firstly, in my eyes, there's no such thing as a servant or a master. That's why I've never treated you as a servant. I also hope that you won't belittle yourself. A person's true incompetence begins when she looks down on herself. Secondly, you've seen how scheming the people in the Prince's mansion are. I won't hide it from you. This Liqi incident is a conspiracy. In this Prince's mansion, I know that you treat me sincerely." That's why I wanted to become sworn brothers with you. Alright, Zi 'er, remember, from today onwards, you are my sister!”
" Madam..." Zi 'er looked at Liu Weilan and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Zi 'er, remember, you're never worse than anyone else. The so-called status is only because someone's luck is better than yours, but status can be created after birth, do you understand?”
Zi 'er pondered for a while. She was a smart person. Although she couldn't completely accept Liu Weilan's words, the seed of " I'm not worse than anyone else. The so-called status is just that others are luckier than me, but my status can be created by myself " had already taken root in her heart.
" Alright, Zi 'er." Liu Weilan patted Zi' er's shoulder and the two of them stood up together." This isn't right. Go clean yourself up first. Next," Liu Weilan said as she narrowed her eyes. A dark light flashed in her eyes." There are still many things to do!"”
Zi 'er nodded and quickly calmed herself down. After all, she had spent many days in the Prince's mansion. She was not stupid and dull. Her mind was naturally sharp and clear. Although Liu Weilan's words had shocked her greatly and she was not calm at the moment, she would not allow herself to be controlled by her emotions for a long time.
A moment later, Zi 'er and Liu Weilan were both done packing up. The two of them immediately headed towards the woodshed.
The woodshed, which was usually deserted, was now surrounded by many people. Everyone was waiting for Liu Weilan to come and take charge of the situation. When Liu Weilan arrived, she saw a scene that was as noisy as a market.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I was delayed by something at the last minute and made everyone wait.”As soon as Liu Weilan arrived, she immediately lowered her posture and apologized to everyone. For a moment, everyone looked at this new concubine in surprise. Their good impression of Liu Weilan instantly rose a lot. A few people who usually relied on Yun Ying wanted to take this opportunity to make a fuss, but when they saw this, they were too embarrassed to say anything. The scene quickly quieted down.
Liu Weilan immediately saw the person who was covered by the white cloth on the ground. She did not waste any time and slowly squatted beside Lvping. She reached out and removed the white cloth covering Lvping.
"Madam!" They didn't expect Liu Weilan to be so bold. Many people exclaimed at the same time.
Liu Weilan didn't pay attention to the crowd's reaction. She carefully examined Lvping. She remembered that not long ago, she was still sobbing in front of her. Now, she was lying on the ground coldly with a glaring bloody wound on her neck.
"Reporting to Madam, Lvping hanged herself.”the coroner said respectfully.
"Oh? How do you know?" Liu Weilan glanced at the coroner. It wasn't the one who examined Liqi.
"There were no signs of resistance on Lu Ping's body, and all the traces at the scene proved that Lu Ping committed suicide.”The coroner bowed and gave a cursory explanation. In his opinion, Liu Weilan, a lady from a noble family, would not know about these things. He would just give her a perfunctory explanation.
" Heh," Liu Weilan sneered," What's your name?”This person had obviously been bribed. Couldn't she see the two marks on Lu Ping's neck? If a person committed suicide, there would be two strangulation marks?! It was obviously caused by someone strangling him to death and hanging him from the beam, alright?!
"Little Wang Xi." Wang Xi's eyes flashed. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little stunned. His intuition told him that the woman in front of him was not so easy to deal with.
"Wang Xi? Alright, let me ask you, is there any difference between the traces left by a person hanging himself and being strangled to death?”
"Of course it's different." Wang Xi raised his head and glanced at Liu Weilan. At the same time, his eyes quickly swept around as if he was looking for someone.
Although his actions seemed to leave no trace, Liu Weilan was still keenly aware of it. She quietly followed Wang Xi's gaze and glanced around. Liu Weilan said lightly," Then can I trouble you to explain in detail? Is it feasible?"”
"I didn't expect that Madam Liu would be interested in this dead person's things. Younger Sister has a whole new level of respect for Elder Sister today.”Suddenly, a woman's voice came from afar. Hearing the voice, Liu Weilan's face instantly turned cold. It was indeed her. Was she finally unable to hold it in anymore?!
