MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 13 Suspect

Shen Xiang stood up abruptly, her small face turned pale, her expression was ugly, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

The house was silent.

"How did the string break?"

Songshuang, who was in charge of playing the qin, was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop, "Lady, when I went to play the qin, the qin was still fine."

Yuan Jiulang was still on the sidelines at first, but when he heard Songshuang's words, he seemed to be referring to the lack of supervision of the instrumental music room, and immediately said: "The instrumental music room has always been guarded by a maid." He then ordered his servants to call the maid in charge of the instrumental music room.

The servant of Shang Shu shot Xiao Wenbin's daughter, Wu Niang of the Xiao family, who had always had a good relationship with Shen Xiangpei, walked quickly to Shen Xiangpei's side, and repeatedly comforted Shen Xiangpei, who was frowning and had a bad complexion. She knew that Apei was strict with herself and never allowed herself to lose face. Now that the string of the piano was broken in the middle of the competition, it must be a great blow to her.

At the same time, Zhao Yuanmu, King of Xiangyang, had also walked to the side of the piano, carefully inspecting the broken strings.

Zhao Yuanmu, king of Xiangyang, is one year younger than Shen Xiangpei, and looks like his mother. Concubine Yin has a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance.

He twirled the strings and watched for a while, then raised his head and said coldly: "The strings are neatly broken, they were cut by someone."

Today's Supreme has three sons and four daughters, and the one he loves the most is King Xiangyang who was born to Concubine Yin. Seeing him meddling in this matter, Yuan Jiulang restrained himself and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, if the Qin was indeed destroyed in the music room, I will definitely give an explanation to His Highness and Second Lady Shen."

After a while, the maid in charge of the instrumental music room came in front of everyone. She obviously already knew what happened, her face was pale.

Just as Yuan Jiulang was about to speak, a male voice appeared before him.

"My lord asks you, did someone touch Shen Erniang's piano when it was placed in the music room? Seriously!"

Yuan Jiulang was somewhat displeased by Zhao Yuanmu's aggressive approach of anti-client. However, he still followed Zhao Yuanmu's words and said, "Have you ever seen someone move Shen Erniang's piano?"

"No one has touched Second Lady Shen's piano." The maid's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and she said the next sentence with a slight trembling, "But I once left the instrument room to help Miss Cheng's lead the way."

The lady of the Cheng family who was mentioned got up immediately and defended herself, "It's true. But after I met other maids on the way, I let her go back. It took less than a quarter of an hour."

"Then you—" Before Yuan Jiulang finished speaking, Zhao Yuanmu unceremoniously took the conversation away.

"When did you leave the music room?!" Zhao Yuanmu wanted to find out the culprit who destroyed Shen Erniang's piano, so he stared at the maid, not noticing the flash of anger on Yuan Jiulang's face. But even if he saw it, he wouldn't care.

"At about seven quarters in the afternoon, after half a quarter of an hour, the slave returned and never left again."

Lunch ended at a quarter of noon, and Yuan Jiulang asked everyone to rest for a while. Many people left the green bamboo forest and took the opportunity to visit Yuan's other courtyard, and many people sent servants to the music room to pick up musical instruments.

"Who came back after 7:00 p.m.?" Zhao Yuanmu scanned the crowd and asked sharply.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiulang, who was originally a little angry, simply kept silent and let Zhao Yuanmu investigate. The people he invited today are all from noble families with prominent family backgrounds. Even if they come from poor families, their fathers are not small figures in the court. No matter who they suspect, they are offending others. Zhao Yuanmu wanted to take matters into his own hands, just in time!

Because the concert started at the end of the day, at 7:00 noon, most people had basically returned to the green bamboo forest.

Xiao Wuniang, who was holding Shen Xiangpei's arm, thought about it carefully, frowned, and leaned into Shen Xiangpei's ear and whispered: "Ape, your second brother came back after seven quarters in the afternoon." To be precise, she was in the last hour. Later, Yuan Jiulang came back when he started playing the piano.

"Ape, your second brother has a bad character. I heard that she often bullied your elder brother because she was jealous of his talent. This time—" Xiao Wuniang looked at Shen Xiangpei worriedly, and didn't say any more.

Ever since the strings were broken, Shen Xiangpei has been in a bad mood. Hearing what Xiao Wuniang said, the two willow eyebrows frowned even more. She glanced at her second brother sitting in the distance, feeling complicated.

Could it be the second brother who did it?

Thinking of the second brother's careful obedience to him in the past, Shen Xiangpei felt it was impossible. But the second brother has changed a lot during this time, recalling the last time she made him humiliate in public, and the second brother's narrow-minded behavior, which often humiliated the elder brother because of jealousy, Shen Xiangpei was inexplicably shaken.

Pressing her lips hard, Shen Xiangpei suppressed all speculations and walked to Zhao Yuanmu's side, "Your Highness, let's leave this matter at that."

Zhao Yuanmu originally wanted to show off in front of the person he admired, but he never thought that Shen Xiangpei would stop him from investigating further. He frowned, "Second lady, don't worry, I will definitely find out the real culprit."

"Ape is worried that the real culprit will be—" Xiao Wuniang's voice overlapped with another male voice.

"Shen Erlang. I remember that Shen Erlang returned after the end of time."

Shen Fengzhang was faintly worried when he heard the maid say seven quarters in the afternoon. Now that someone called her name, she was relieved.

She glanced at Yu Sanlang, who was avoiding her sight, and slowly got up, "It is true that I returned after the end of time, but I have been in the rock garden. I have a deep brotherhood with Er Niangzi, if I say I will cut Er Niangzi's strings , that's ridiculous."

"Who can testify for you? Prove that you have indeed been in the rock garden and did not go to the instrument room?"

"At six o'clock in the afternoon, I met Zheng Erlang in front of Lingxiu Building, and Zheng Erlang saw me walking into the rockery garden." Shen Fengzhang spoke calmly, without any panic.

Zheng Erlang who got his name got up and nodded, "It's true."

Zhao Yuanmu sneered, "That can at most prove that you entered the rockery garden at 6:00 p.m., who can prove that you have been in the rockery garden from 6:00 p.m. to your return."

Xie Erlang frowned imperceptibly, he ordered his attendants to guard the side, he didn't expect that Lingxiu Building could also enter the garden, and he didn't know if Shen Fengzhang ran into him and Shen Juan. Sitting not far from Xie Erlang, Shen Jun's expression remained unchanged, but his hands on his lap gradually clenched into fists.

Shen Fengzhang controlled his gaze and didn't even glance at Shen Jun. She shook her head, "No one. I didn't meet anyone in the rock garden."

lie!

Shen Fengzhang is lying!

Shen Juan let go of his fist, but his sword eyebrows subconsciously frowned. He rubbed his joints, raised his eyes to look at Shen Fengzhang. Shen Jun was very sure that Shen Fengzhang saw himself in the rock garden. At that time, he saw the corner of the silver-patterned robe with a white background that was exposed behind the rockery not far away, so he deliberately rejected Xie Erlang's invitation and diverted the original topic.

Why did she say she hadn't met anyone else?

Shen Fengzhang didn't mention that he met Shen Jun and Xie Erlang in the garden, of course it was for the male lead's benefit. The male lead hasn't grown up yet, so it's best not to be discovered if his relationship with the Xie family can't be discovered. The reason why she was late for so long was because she guarded the two people in the rock garden for a long time, and only after they left, she stayed for a while before coming out again.

Of course, Shen Fengzhang did this because she had other ways to regain her innocence. However, before she could speak, Yu Yongzhi stood up.

Obviously he was the object of suspicion, but after Shen Fengzhang stood up, his expression was calm, and he didn't see any signs of fear or nervousness. In Yu Yongzhi's eyes, that kind of generous, calm and calm attitude made him even more aggrieved. He took a deep breath, got up, and was heartbroken, "Azhang, you were only jealous of Shen Jun before, why are you even—"

Yu Yongzhi didn't continue, but he sighed with regret, his heartbroken gesture was enough to make people think about it.

The way everyone looked at Shen Fengzhang changed suddenly.

Who doesn't know that Yu Yongzhi and Shen Fengzhang have a good relationship, and now even Yu Yongzhi has come out to testify against Shen Fengzhang.

Could it be, is it really Shen Fengzhang?
