The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 76 I Won't Refute

Hearing this, Bai Qianci lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, saying, "I was so nervous because I was afraid that you, Yunqing, might fall into the swamp."

Sheng Yunqing frowned slightly. If he hadn't just pulled her aside to chat about some random things, she wouldn't have fallen into it so quickly.

She smiled at the hunter and said, "You misunderstood, sir. He is not my husband. We are just friends."

Hearing this, Bai Qianci's eyes gradually became lonely.

The hunter smiled awkwardly and said, "Seeing this young man so anxious, I thought...it turned out that I misunderstood. As long as the person is fine, it's fine!"

Sheng Yunqing gave some silver to the hunter to see him off, and walked out of the woods under the guidance of the guards.

Bai Qianci lowered his head and said, "If I were King Ye, would you rush to refute what the hunter said just now?"

Sheng Yunqing stopped, looked up at him, and said seriously: "No."

Bai Qianci's face was full of surprise, and he was a little surprised by her frankness.

Sheng Yunqing looked at him in shock and said, "Bai Qianci, if someone says that Ye Jinchen is my husband and I am Ye Jinchen's wife, I will not refute it. Do you understand?"

Bai Qianci secretly clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, and after a long moment, he let out a long sigh and said, "I understand."

The polo match was over, and there were only three carriages outside the field. Sheng Yueying looked at Bai Qianci's embarrassed appearance, and came forward with concern, saying, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Yunqing did not stop and got on the carriage first.

Bai Qianci looked at Sheng Yunqing's distant expression, his face darkened for a moment, and then he smiled at Sheng Yueying and said, "I just fell into the swamp, but I'm fine now. Don't come over, it's dirty."

The carriage was moving slowly. Inside the carriage, Su Lan looked at Sheng Yunqing, who looked worried, and said, "Fairy sister, just now you sent everyone away and went to the woods alone. I heard that you were almost drowned in the swamp. If your father knew about this..."

"Don't make this public." Sheng Yunqing took out the mysterious note from his sleeve and gave it to her, saying, "I already know who wrote the note, but I need some evidence. Give it to the detective. Find any clues on the paper and report to me in secret."

Su Lan took the note with a serious expression and said, "Yes."

That night, at the Mansion of Marquis Zhenbei.

Sheng Yunqing was practicing calligraphy at his desk when Su Lan walked in quickly and said, "We have already found out that the second Miss Ming's fingerprints were on the note. Not only that, the paper was orchid rice paper, which was the most commonly used paper in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was stained with the scent of lily of the valley that the second Miss Ming carried."

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Have you questioned the boy at the horse farm?"

"I sent someone to look for him just now, and they saw the boy sneaking out of his house through the back door carrying a bag on his back. He must be up to something. He confessed everything after I gave him some money. I have recorded everything he said."

Sheng Yunqing nodded.

Su Lan continued, "The maidservant Linglong beside the Second Miss Ming originally bought potions from someone outside and wanted to put drugs into the rouge of the fairy sister. The truth has been found out. The doctor has been arrested. I don't know what Linglong's purpose was. The Second Miss Ming wanted to frame you that day, and so many noble ladies were witnesses."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing raised his lips, put down his pen, exhaled, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Lan raised her lips and smiled, saying, "The carriage has already been prepared."

Sheng Yunqing walked up to her, scratched her nose, and said, "The one who understands me is Su Lan."

In the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the maid prepared hot tea and snacks and said, "Miss Sheng, please have some tea."

Sheng Yunqing picked up the teacup and blew gently, saying, "Master Prime Minister's tea smells so good."

Prime Minister Ming looked at Sheng Yunqing in confusion, and said with a polite smile: "Miss Sheng, it's late at night. What's the matter that brings you to my humble abode?"

Sheng Yunqing took a sip of tea, with a polite smile on his face, and said, "I really have something important to discuss with the Prime Minister."

As soon as she finished speaking, her attendants brought several people up. Sheng Yunqing gently turned the tea cover on the edge of the cup, skimming the tea foam and said, "Come, report one by one. Doctor Zhang, you go first."

The doctor, who was over 40 years old, knelt down and said to Prime Minister Ming: "Master Prime Minister, this matter... this matter I really didn't know anything about, it's unjust!"

Sheng Yunqing opened his lips and said, "Doctor Zhang, please speak nicely. Just report everything to the Prime Minister."

Doctor Zhang kowtowed to Prime Minister Ming and said, "Prime Minister, a girl came to me to buy medicine. She wanted a magical potion that could be melted into rouge. When applied to lips, they would turn black. This medicine is not poisonous, but it can disfigure a person for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Ming frowned and said, "Yulan was indeed poisoned by this drug! Who ordered you to harm Yulan?!"

Doctor Zhang said tremblingly, "No... No, the medicine was bought by Linglong, the personal maidservant of Miss Ming Er. As for what she wanted to do or who she wanted to harm, I don't know!"

Prime Minister Ming clenched his fists and said, "Linglong actually wants to harm her own master?! Someone, bring Linglong up to me!"

Sheng Yunqing raised the corner of his lips and said, "Prime Minister, wait a minute. Please listen to what Yunqing has to say. Linglong is indeed loyal to her master. She didn't want to harm her own lady, but was instructed by the Second Miss Ming to frame me."

"What?" Prime Minister Ming frowned and asked, "What evidence does Miss Sheng have?"

"Without evidence, Yunqing naturally dares not speak nonsense. However, there was a noble lady next to Yulan at the time who saw Linglong knock over the table between Miss Li and me. She also saw the little move of drugging me. She didn't succeed. Maybe there was some drug on her hands, and she accidentally touched Miss Ming's rouge. That's why... If the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, ask the other noble ladies about what happened that day, and they will know the answer."

"This..." Prime Minister Ming's eyes gradually became flustered. He pursed his lips and said with love for his daughter, "Yulan is immature. I'm afraid she had some conflicts with Miss Sheng before, so she did something stupid. Now that she has suffered the consequences, considering that she fell off the horse today and is still recovering from her injuries, can you let her go this time?"

Sheng Yunqing glanced at the servant and said, "Speaking of horses, you should also explain it to Prime Minister Ming."

The servant knelt down and kowtowed to Prime Minister Ming, crying, "Master Prime Minister, today Miss Linglong said that Miss Sheng was going to compete and asked me to loosen Miss Sheng's stirrups. It's true! I don't know why, maybe I was flustered and loosened Miss Ming's stirrups. I didn't mean to do that!"

"Ridiculous!" Prime Minister Ming gritted his teeth, slammed the table, stood up, and glared at the servant, "Did you really tamper with the stirrup?!"

"I was confused for a moment and didn't dare to offend Miss Ming. Lord Prime Minister, please spare my life. I won't do it again! I won't do it again!"
