"I know the level of investigation of the court of justice. After all, I don't feel safe to put my life on their hands. Now that I was missing in others' eyes, I would have better keep being missing. Originally, I planned to tell you about this, but I didn't expect that there were so many people watching you." Prince Jing let out a sigh and continued. "I'm afraid most of the people beside you can sense it as soon as something is wrong with you. But I underestimated my shang'er. She is so calm and wise. An ordinary woman can't be mentioned in the same breath."
Yun Shang sneered at his words, "where are grand councilor Li and the seventh Prince right now?"
Prince Jing smiled, "don't worry. They are not in our mansion. It would be terrible if someone else learns from us to burn our mansion."
"Did you find out the truth? Did they do it? " Yun Shang asked again.
"We haven't interrogated them yet. Don't be anxious. Anyway, if they did it, some clues will be left. We can investigate it step by step. Now that we have the hostage, we can easily find the truth, right?" Prince Jing smiled coldly and led Yun Shang to lie down on the bench. The bench was narrow, and it was crowded for two people to lie on. Yun Shang twisted her body in discomfort, but Prince Jing still didn't let her go.
After lying on the bed for a while, Qian Yin's voice came from outside the room. "Your Highness, Mister Liu is here. He has something to ask to see you. I've told him that your highness hasn't recovered yet. Mister Liu heard that you appeared outside the Jing mansion last night, and didn't seem to be ill. I couldn't find anything to retort back, so I had to come here to ask your highness."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "you silly girl, that's enough to make people hear your words and suspect me. I can't just stay here anymore. If someone asks you this question next time, you should answer it this way. Yesterday I heard that the Jing's house was on a fire and thought that Mrs. Jing has come to visit me every day after I got sick, which makes me panic. I go to see her well regardless of my body. The wind blew outside last night was strong, and I am even weaker now."
Qian Yin was rendered speechless by Yun Shang's words. She said gently, "what should we do now? Shall I say it to him again? "
Yun Shang was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She patted on Prince Jing's hand, and whispered, "well, I'll go out to see the guest now. I'll be back later."
After a moment of silence, Prince Jing released his hand on Yun Shang. It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that he had been mad at her because of Liu Yinfeng. So Yun Shang added. "I'll have the butler and Qian Yin follow us. I will be back very soon."
