The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 360

Chapter 360: My Sister is Timid

Two ghouls, one on the left and one on the right, obediently squatted by Xie Qiao’s side.

Princess Xingmo had a confused look on her face, while the other was angry, jumping up and down.

Xie Qiao waved at her eldest brother and got him to the side. With a serious expression, she said, “Eldest Brother, I still need you to deliver a message to the Crown Prince…”

At that moment, when Xie Pinggang saw the corpse at the bottom of the pool, his mood had become much more solemn. Although he knew that Xie Qiao was hiding some important matters, now that he saw that it was related to human life, he did not dare to belittle it. He suppressed the puzzlement inside of him and nodded directly, “What do you want to tell him?”

“Prince Consort Zhou is a concealed man. The secret room of the Zhou Residence has a hundred bones crying together, and the mystery is in the Prince Consort’s study, behind the painting of an immortal,” Xie Qiao braced herself and said.

She had finished explaining everything.

Xie Pinggang looked at her with a much deeper gaze.

“You’re not allowed to tell others,” Xie Pinggang gritted his teeth.

It was no wonder that the Crown Prince wanted Xie Pinggang to take credit for that.

Xie Qiao was a young lady, and it was the first time she had come to the Zhou Residence. Her understanding of the Zhou family was a little too deep.

It was a different case for him. He was a member of the criminal division.

In order to solve the case, he had to gather spies in private. In the future, he only needed to tell the public that he had been investigating the disappearance of the woman for a long time and found evidence in the Zhou Residence. In this way, no one would suspect him.

“Eldest Brother, I know what to do,” Xie Qiao replied obediently.

“After you go home today, tell me everything honestly. Otherwise, I’ll chase Chun Er out of your courtyard!” Xie Pinggang threatened.

He did not know what his eldest sister cared about. In his mind, he instantly thought of the loyal maidservant who was loyal to Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao pursed her lips, “Oh.”

She could give an explanation. As long as she did not scare him to death, it would be fine.

Xie Pinggang glared at her, then walked over with a solemn expression and passed the message to the Crown Prince.

He had to search the entire Zhou Residence.

Now that he had Xie Qiao, his motive was even clearer. At the very least, he had already identified the murderer.

At that moment, the Crown Prince saw that it was almost time. Only then did he ask Zhou Weizong to let the guests leave.

The world had a prejudice against him. If he had let these people go in the beginning, who knew how many comments about how innocent the Zhou family was would spread out there. Now that they were frightened by the Zhou family, the situation was different.

However, the effect seemed to be a little too obvious.

The Crown Prince thought it might be a lot quieter recently.

Letting a group of young ladies see the bones had some deterrent effect. Those irritating officials would not dare to think about pestering him lately.

“Young Lady Xie, stay and accompany your eldest brother,” the Crown Prince said coldly.

When the others heard that, they all turned around and looked at her sympathetically.

To have such an eldest brother, it was truly eight lifetimes of bad luck!

She had been living a good life, but the investigation happened in the Zhou Residence. Now, they actually brought the Crown Prince to create such a big commotion. It was really too frightening!

Dong Xiyun looked at her mockingly.

With a family member like that, no matter how kind the Xie family was, others would probably not dare to interact with her.

Xie Qiao was very calm.

Even after the others had left, she was actually relieved.

A group of maidservants gathered together. The smell of cosmetics was very strong, and the smell of fragrance was even stronger. It was so strong that she almost could not breathe.

Xie Pinggang looked at Xie Qiao with concern and then said to the Crown Prince, “My sister is timid. Look… get a screen to block her.”

“Your sister… is indeed timid,” The Crown Prince chuckled and nodded, “Sure.”

She was so timid that she was digging up bones alone in the woods late at night.
