Chapter 318: Interrogation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu He had finally arrived.

The Crown Prince’s palace was a bit far from this side, but because of his bad mood, Huangfu He did not go back there. Instead, he ordered the servants to bring the dinner to the Peony Garden as a way to relax.

Due to his gloomy mood, he had little appetite and only ate a few bites when he heard a courtier saying that something had happened at the Misty Pavilion.

His instinct told him that Liu Shimei was in trouble, so he immediately abandoned his meal and rushed over.

Upon entering, he saw Liu Shimei sitting calmly by the railing, with Huangfu Lingyao sitting beside her. They were quite close, almost touching each other’s thighs!

Huangfu Lingyao was feeding her small pastries, saying, “Wife, just bear with it for now. We’ll figure something out later. Have something good to eat, okay?”

Liu Shimei smiled and ate the snack with his hand.

Huangfu He’s face darkened.

Seeing that the Crown Prince had arrived, the two of them followed the crowd and stood up. Liu Shimei bowed, while Huangfu Lingyao stood straight and glared at Huangfu He with a pair of angry eyes.

Huangfu He looked around and thought to himself, ‘Good heavens, East Mountain Garden was originally the residence of noble ladies, but now it’s filled with troublemakers from the Liang family.”

His expression became even gloomier, and his voice became even colder. “What exactly happened?”

Nanny Lin reported everything in detail, but she was not a witness, so she called a few more people to interrogate.

As expected, none of the questioned people defended Yu Wanqing, and some of them even exaggerated the situation.

Huangfu He listened for a while and got a rough idea of what had happened. His expression turned uglier.

He subconsciously looked at Liu Shimei.

However, Liu Shimei acted as if the matter had nothing to do with her. She stood there coldly with her head lowered. He could not see her eyes, so he did not know what her expression was.

Huangfu Lingyao was furious. When he saw Huangfu He looking over, he quickly pushed Liu Shimei behind him, shielding her from his gaze.

“Miss Zhang, you tell us,” Huangfu He said.

Huangfu He was not a fool. Although he did not like these women, he had some understanding of the four candidates for the Crown Prince’s Consort.

Zhang Miaozhen was calm and self-disciplined, and Grand Secretary Zhang’s family style was fair and strict. He would not allow his descendants to scheme against each other for fame.

In addition, she lived in the Misty Pavilion and was a direct witness. It was very suitable for her to make a statement.

As expected, Zhang Miaozhen explained the matter in a few words, and it was basically no different from what Liu Shimei’s maid said.

Because the Crown Prince had arrived, Liu Yan’er had the servant girls carry her out and sit on a chair.

Huangfu He looked at Liu Yan’er and said, “Second Miss Liu, your room is next to Eldest Miss Liu’s. Tell me what you know.”

As soon as this question came out, many people’s expressions changed.

The Liu sisters’ conflict was well-known, but Liu Yaner also had a hostile relationship with Yu Wanqing. Whose side would she take?

“She…” Huangfu Lingyao was about to erupt.

Liu Shimei quickly grabbed his hand and whispered to soothe him, “Don’t be hasty. The Crown Prince is questioning Yan’er. It has nothing to do with you.”

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the silly dog, who was about to fly into a rage, was appeased by her words and turned into an obedient dog.

Huangfu He, witnessing this scene, felt a deep sense of discomfort that only he could understand.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Yan’er, saying, “Second Miss Liu, answer truthfully.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Liu Yan’er said softly, “Due to my leg injury, I’ve been inside and didn’t come out. As for what caused the incident and why it happened, I’m not sure. When 1 heard the commotion, it was Princess Ping’an loudly cursing outside the door, using very harsh words…”

Her gaze flickered towards Yu Wanqing as she continued, “Quite offensive. After that, 1 heard the sound of someone kicking the door.”

“Due to my leg injury, even though I knew my elder sister was being mistreated, I wanted to go out and check, but I felt helpless…”

Her words elicited disdain from quite a few people..
