Chapter 161 Qing'er's Puzzle
"And when Xin Jue said he was framed, his tone was exactly the same as when he said he couldn't have killed Yu Louchun."
"That doesn't prove he's innocent, does it?"
Fang Duobing didn't quite understand.
“Xin Jue’s loyalty and courage prove that he would not kill Yu Louchun, and the evidence we found is enough to show that there is more to this story.”
"Now let's look at the other murderers and see if there are any more clues."
"Okay, then I'll look for other clues."
Fang Duobing responded.
When the group was halfway there, they saw the girls from the women's residence waiting by the roadside.
There were many beautiful women, each with her own unique charm. How was this any different from the emperor's three thousand concubines?
The only difference is that there are no three thousand, and not as many as the emperor's. Yu Louchun truly deserved to die.
"Are you all waiting for us here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fang Duobing stepped forward to inquire.
The girls, led by Chilong, bowed gracefully: "Thank you, Physician Li and Young Hero Fang, for finding the real culprit who killed my master, allowing him to rest in peace."
"What are you all talking about, ladies? Now that Yulouchun is dead, let's leave this place together tomorrow."
Qing'er stepped forward and took Chilong's hand, saying.
"Qing'er, our master treated us well, how could you be so ungrateful? Our master has just died, how can we just leave like this?"
Chi Long looked at Qing'er with disapproval.
"We've been treated well? Ungrateful? Are you crazy? We've been locked up here every day, living in constant fear, afraid of losing our money and having nothing to eat or wear, afraid of being lost to the guards outside. Is this what you call treating us well?"
Qing'er was stunned by Chi Long's words, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had never realized that these people were like this before.
“The outside world is far more dangerous than the women’s home. You’ve known that ever since you were sold here. It’s always been the master who has been protecting us.”
Chi Long lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions, but his words still showed his disagreement with Qing'er's words, firmly believing in his own ideas.
"This is imprisonment, not protection. We're locked up here every day, like cats, dogs, and birds. How can we be considered human?"
"Binrong, Yuyan, say something."
Qing'er looked at the people behind Chi Long and called out their names, trying to find a few people who were still clear-headed.
However, everyone just lowered their heads, neither looking at Qing'er nor responding. Qing'er was somewhat devastated by this result.
"You've all gone mad! I think you've all gone insane from being locked up. I can't be bothered with you spineless cowards. If you like being locked up, then stay locked up here and be grateful!"
Unable to accept it, Qing'er quickly ran away from the place.
"I must thank you for your reminder, Miss. It was only because of that guard's timely intervention that the guard who broke into the women's residence was stopped. Otherwise, the consequences for all of us sisters would have been unimaginable."
Chi Long led everyone in bowing to Wu You.
"It's alright, it was just a word I said, it's all thanks to Li Lianhua."
Wu You quickly returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying that he hadn't earned any credit for his words.
“The young lady’s words saved us all, so we should thank her. We also want to thank Doctor Li.”
After Chi Long finished speaking, he thanked Li Lianhua again.
"Thank you very much, Dr. Li."
"Do you really not hate Yulouchun?"
Fang Duobing didn't actually believe what Chilong said. If anyone wanted Yulouchun to die the most, it would probably be the women in the women's quarters.
"Women have nowhere good to go in this world. Staying here to serve their master will ensure they have no worries. Serving one person is always easier than serving everyone."
"But······"
Fang Duobing wanted to say something more, but Li Lianhua stopped him.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, so there's no need to say more. I wish you all the best."
