The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 182 You Have to Endure It Even If You Can't
Liu Qian broke out in a cold sweat.

I just felt that this job was really difficult to do.

The other party is a county princess, and also the regent's fiancée. Even though there is a lot of evidence pointing to her murdering someone, we cannot rashly detain her and bring her back to the yamen for trial.

That's why he personally went to inquire.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so imposing that he was left speechless.

He knew about this Princess Rong'an. He had seen her compete with the Yue Kingdom envoy at the palace banquet where they were receiving guests, and he knew that she was not just an ordinary woman confined to her home.

Moreover, this matter is indeed suspicious in every way, as if it were a carefully designed conspiracy to destroy Princess Rong'an.

After thinking it over, Liu Qian said, "What the county magistrate said makes a lot of sense. I will go back now and send someone to investigate the real culprit immediately."

Seeing that he had no intention of making things difficult, Yunwei paused and then prompted, "Lord Liu, has the coroner examined the body? How did Yun Yao die? And how long has she been dead?"

Liu Qian was taken aback and replied, "Judging from the wounds, Miss Yun should have been killed by a narrow sword that slit her throat. Her maid died in the same way. As for how long she had been dead, the coroner hadn't had time to examine her before your father and mother took her back."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei seemed to be deep in thought. "If we can find out when Yun Yao died, and I have an alibi, wouldn't that prove that I didn't kill her?"

Liu Qian looked at her, puzzled. "What makes you say that?"

“Since she disappeared, I have been searching for her every day with many people around me. I have no chance to kill her, and many people can testify for me,” Yunwei said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded, though with some difficulty: "This humble official can take the coroner to the Pingning Marquis's residence, but your father and mother may not be willing to let us examine the body."

“That’s easy. I’ll convince them. You take the coroner and head to the Marquis of Pingning’s residence immediately. I’ll wait for you there,” Yun Wei said, standing up.

"Okay," Liu Qian agreed.

As soon as Liu Qian left, Yun Wei asked Uncle Chen to go to the Regent's Palace to inform Rong Zhen, while she herself boarded a carriage and headed to the Marquis of Pingning's residence.

When Rong Zhen heard that Yun Wei had gone out, his expression changed, and he hurriedly went out to try to stop her.

But by the time he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Yunwei had already left.

"Prepare the horses!" His heart sank. He ordered someone to bring the horses, mounted them, and went to chase after them himself.

As he expected, Yunwei's carriage was blocked by a group of people as soon as it left Zhuque Street.

"Princess Rong'an, you killed your own sister. Doesn't your conscience bother you?"

"That's absolutely vicious; those are two lives."

"In broad daylight, right under the emperor's nose, you have no respect for the law."

"I think she only dares to treat human life so lightly because she's relying on the Regent's power! She's utterly lawless!"

"murderer!"

"Murderer, killer, get down here right now!"

Sang Qing, who had caught up with them, was so angry upon hearing this that her eyebrows shot up. She wanted to curse loudly, but knowing that it was not the right time to add fuel to the fire, she looked at Rong Zhen in front of her for instructions, "Master?"

Rong Zhen glanced at the crowd, raised his hand and pointed to a few people, "Try to capture those people."

Sang Qing glanced in the direction of his finger and saw that it was the person who had led the commotion and shouted the loudest earlier. She immediately understood and said, "This servant understands."

After saying that, he led his men and quietly blended into the crowd. At the same time, Ah Zheng, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, saw that the road was blocked and that those people still dared to disrespect their master, and his face was extremely ugly.

He was about to crack his whip and drive straight through when Yunwei stopped him in time, saying, "Azheng, don't hurt the people."

"But I really can't tolerate them framing our master so indiscriminately," A-Zheng said anxiously.

"Even if you can't stand it, you have to endure it," Yun Wei said in a deep voice.

However, with the road blocked and the people in a state of high anger, they certainly wouldn't back down anytime soon.

She had already arranged to meet Liu Qian at the Yun family's house later, and she couldn't delay any longer.

Just as she was about to use her light-footed skills to fly away, a voice shouted: "The Regent is here. If you have any grievances, you can tell the Regent in person."

Upon hearing this sound, Yunwei paused in her action of pushing the car door open.

Rong Zhen has arrived?

The crowd, which had been indignant, suddenly fell silent upon hearing this and all looked toward the source of the sound.

Behind the carriage, a man in black robes with his hair tied up in a golden crown slowly emerged, riding a tall, pale gold horse.

The man exuded an aura of authority and domineering presence, with a haughty gaze. Yet, he also possessed an exceptionally handsome face, making him appear like a god descended from heaven, noble and extraordinary.

For a moment, the people were stunned, staring at him blankly, forgetting to react.

When they met the man's gaze, the people felt a chilling oppression, as if they were frozen in place.

"If you have any grievances, you may present them to me in person," Rong Zhen said calmly, sitting on his horse.

He didn't raise his voice intentionally, but everyone could hear him clearly.

"It's the Regent! It really is the Regent!"

Some of the common people realized what was happening and knelt down to pay their respects, saying, "This humble subject kowtows to the Regent, may the Regent live a thousand years!"

For a moment, the sound of bowing echoed through the streets.

For ordinary people, the regent is a very important figure they would never meet in their lifetime.

But this important figure appeared before them today.

As if in a dream, everyone knelt on the ground, looking up at Rong Zhen with almost pious eyes, naturally forgetting their original purpose for coming here.

They didn't even notice when Yunwei's carriage quietly drove away.

The men who had been leading the incitement of the crowd were about to shout when they were discovered, but Sang Qing, who was waiting there, covered their mouths and dragged them away silently.

After seeing Yunwei's carriage drive away, Rong Zhen turned his gaze back to the common people, saying, "Everyone, please rise, no need for formalities."

"Thank you, Regent." The people stood up as instructed.

Rong Zhen said in a deep voice, "I know that you are blocking this place today because you want to seek justice for the deceased Miss Yun and her maid. But I want to tell you that Miss Yun and her maid were not killed by Princess Rong'an. Princess Rong'an is kind and magnanimous. She would not kill them, nor could she possibly kill them."

Upon hearing this, some people raised questions, "But the blood-stained handkerchief on Miss Yun's body says that Princess Rong'an killed them. In addition, it is said that the person who kidnapped Miss Yun was Princess Rong'an. Many people saw it. With so much evidence pointing to Princess Rong'an, will the Regent still protect her?"

“That’s right. Princess Rong’an is the Regent’s fiancée. The Regent must have said that to exonerate her.” Someone chimed in.
