Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 643

Yun Shang was surprised at her words. She looked at Lady Liu and asked, "Your daughter... Is your daughter the concubine of the seventh princes? Hasn't she... Why was the pearl on her shoes here? Is it because you miss her so much that you took the pearl on her shoe with you, and it fell down accidentally just now? "

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "No, No. That's just the pair of shoes Chuchu wore when she had the accident. I remember that I personally embroidered the shoes for her. I know exactly the stitches on the shoes."

The seventh prince also looked over. He thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Lord Li found out that the bloodstains in the yard were not human blood. Moreover, we haven't found Liu Chuchu's body. The shoes... The shoes have also disappeared with her corpse."

"Really?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, with a sneer and a bit indifference on his face. "You mean you suspect that Liu Chuchu's corpse or Liu Chuchu herself is in my mansion?"

The seventh prince shook his head and said, "No. I don't think you would do such a thing. But if the pearl was indeed from her shoes, someone must want to frame you. Since Lord Li from the Ministry of Justice is here, we might as well ask him to search your mansion in order to spare you from suspicions."

"Spare me from suspicions?" "You must be joking. How could you make such a scene on the New Year's Day?" he said with a smile. Yun Shang smiled and said, "After all, the accident happened to the seventh prince's concubine who is the daughter of Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu, so it was very exciting to see something related to Miss Liu. However, after we moved into the mansion, we chose a relatively quiet yard to live in. The main yard is opposite to a lake, and we seldom come on the other side. Perhaps what the seventh prince has said is right. Someone might have planned to frame us. If we couldn't find out the truth, no body could be relaxed to celebrate the New Year's Day. Even I felt so scared. Let's just ask Lord Li to investigate it thoroughly?"

Although Luo Qingyan seemed reluctant, he nodded at Yun Shang, "Okay. It's up to you. It's really a bad luck to have something like this on the New Year's Day. You're pregnant now, so don't get yourself involved in such things."

"It's just a pearl! And the seventh prince has said that Liu Chuchu might not have died!" Yun Shang patted Luo Qingyan's hand with a smile and turned to Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo, "Thank you."

Li Qianmo works for her. She trusts him very much, but she cannot let the seventh prince notice that. So she brought Liu Yinfeng in on purpose, showing the seventh prince that she didn't believe Li Qianmo but only Liu Yinfeng.

Raising his head, Liu Yinfeng glanced at Yun Shang. He kept silent for a moment before he made an obeisance by cupping his hands.

Li Qianmo added hastily, "It's my duty. I will try my best to find out the truth."

Then Li Qianmo turned around and said to the seventh prince, "I'm afraid we can't search the mansion on our own. Please send someone to deliver a message to the Ministry of Justice, asking them to send some people here to help." The seventh prince nodded and ordered the servants to do it.

All the people stood there, waiting. Yun Shang said after standing for a while, "You must be thirsty. Qin Yi, go get a tea set and make some tea for us."

Qin Yi nodded. When she was about to leave, Li Qianmo said hastily, "No. Nobody can leave now. Your highness, please understand me."

Yun Shang paused and looked pale. She nodded, walked to the corridor and sat down. Seeing this, Luo Qingyan hurriedly went to her, squatted down and asked, "Are you sick?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm fine." He glanced at the seventh prince, who looked quite proud. He seemed to be sure Yun Shang had been intended to make preparation.

Yun Shang sneered. The seventh prince probably didn't know that he came late.

About half an hour later, the butler came in a hurry with the runners from Ministry of Justice. Li Qianmo took them to search around. The butler said in a hurry, "Your Highnesses, several masters from Lord Hua Guo's mansion have come with to greet you."

Taking a look at the others, Yun Shang stood up and said, "May I go to the garden house to receive the guests?"

The seventh prince kept silent for a moment and nodded. "I feel a little tired too. I'll go to the garden house and take a rest."

Yun Shang sneered and thought, 'The seventh prince is really worried about us.'

But she didn't show any expression on her face. She walked to the garden house with Luo Qingyan.

When they arrived at the gate of the garden house, Yun Shang wore a faint smile on her face and went into it with Luo Qingyan. "Happy new year, dear cousins."
