Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 237

"There is no such thing in the Duke's Mansion. It's just a rumor. How could Your Majesty believe it so easily?

If it really existed, why wouldn't His Majesty send someone to search for it?"

"My Lord, you still want to quibble. Come out! Have a good confrontation with me, and don't accuse me of accusing others."

The Third Prince shouted towards the door and waved his hand, and then a graceful woman walked in.

The woman had a good figure, but there were several scars on her face, which formed a sharp contrast with her graceful figure.

It's her! Ye Xi recognized her. It was Liu Su whom she hadn't seen for a long time!

How did Liusu become like this?

Ye Xi remembered that after Liusu left inexplicably, she also asked Wei Jue where Liusu was going.

Wei Jue said that she was transferred to serve elsewhere, but today Liusu was with the traitor.

Many guesses flashed through Ye Xi's mind. Maybe Liusu was sent by Wei Jue as a spy, or maybe she was sent by the Third Prince as a spy.

"Hello, Duke." Liusu saluted the other party.

"Who are you?" Wei Yuan frowned and looked at the woman with a disfigured face in front of him.

"It's normal that the Duke doesn't recognize me. I used to be Lord Wei's secret guard, specializing in helping him conduct secret investigations." Liusu explained.

"You were the one who told the prince that there was a secret treasure in the Duke's Mansion?"

Wei Yuan already had some guesses when he heard Liusu's words.

"Yes."

"Why did you frame the Duke's Mansion?" Wei Yuan stared at the scar on her face, his eyes suddenly sharp.

"Could the injury on your face be related to the Duke's Mansion? So you want to frame me?"

“The wound on my face is definitely related to the Duke’s Mansion. At the beginning, Lord Wei sent assassins to kill me to silence me. I escaped death, but my face was destroyed.

But I did not frame the Duke's Mansion, you do have a secret treasure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed me to keep the secret of the treasure."

Liusu said bitterly, "I have devoted my life to the Duke's Mansion, but in the end I am being silenced. You are so cruel."

"Your Majesty, how can you believe the words of a man who has betrayed his former master?

And you also heard her say that she did have some disagreements with the Duke's Mansion, so don't trust her words."

Wei Yuan looked at the Third Prince and tried to persuade him.

“Humph, this king doesn’t care about the grudge between you two. Since she said she has it, this king can only come and ask for it.

Tell me why you knew the secret treasure was in the Duke's Mansion, so that the Duke will give up the idea of ​​arguing and hand over the treasure obediently. "

The Third Prince urged.

"Yes. At that time, I was ordered by the master to extract a confession from a woman. Yes, it was her!"

Liusu also noticed Ye Xi and suddenly pointed at Ye Xi and said.

The Third Prince and Wei Yuan's eyes fell on Ye Xi, and Ye Xi quickly lowered her head.

"What the adult meant was that he had lost an important item, and he suspected that she had picked it up.

So he asked the servant to come forward to interrogate her, but when he failed to get any information out of her, the master fell in love with her.

The master sent people everywhere to search for more than two years, and one day he suddenly ordered that there was no need to look for him anymore.

He also sent assassins to kill all the people who were previously sent out to look for the object.

If you weren't worried about the item being leaked, why would you do this?

It would be fine if you only killed the person who found the item, but it is unjust to kill even the servants and other people who have no knowledge of the matter."

Liusu said angrily.

So that's how it is. Ye Xi finally understood why he was forced to confess.

The doubts that had been in her mind for so many years were finally answered today.

It’s not that she didn’t ask Wei Jue, but Wei Jue told her not to worry about it.

After she knew she had nothing to do with the matter, she never asked again.
