Chapter 176 My Ex-Boyfriend Caught My Good Friend
The maidservant of the Hou Mansion brought hot water to wash the hands of the two masters, and Wei Mingji wiped his face along with it.

Wei Mingji usually looked at his rich clothes, and thought he would be such a delicate young man, but he didn't expect that this act of casually removing his armor and wiping his face showed the roughness of a soldier in the army.

Wei Mingji's ashen face instantly became white and translucent, Lin Xingwei was very curious about what's the use of being so good-looking as a man?

The enemy will not voluntarily surrender because of his good looks; when he goes out to investigate the case, the evidence will not fly to him because of his good looks.

Wei Mingji caught a glimpse of Lin Xingwei looking at him intently, and smiled embarrassedly, "I rushed back to the capital early this morning, and went to the palace to report on my work before I had time to rest and change. After leaving the palace, I was so focused on coming to see you that I didn't care about my appearance, which made the princess laugh .”

"My mother has gone to my uncle's house, and no one is looking at you, and I don't dislike you." Lin Xingwei said as he lit the clay stove with a torch, put on a copper kettle, and prepared to make tea.

Adding water to the copper cauldron, Lin Xingwei said again: "General, if you feel unwell, you can take a bath in my eldest cousin's room before eating."

Wei Mingji pursed his lips and laughed, "You and I are not married yet, how can I be so unscrupulous?"

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. It's inconvenient for the Hou's house, and it's not convenient for my second cousin to have a sister-in-law at home. My first cousin is the only one in my family who hasn't married yet. He must be convenient!" Lin Xingwei said seriously.

Lin Xingwei was serious, but Wei Mingji didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he sat down obediently and stopped joking.

Wei Mingji said: "The affairs of the Yuan family can't be delayed any longer. The empress is now detaining Miss Su, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Yuan. If there is no proper explanation from the Tingwei Mansion, the three Suhuo and Yuan families will not let it go."

"I met with Your Majesty today. Your Majesty means that if Shilang Wen can't find out the root cause, let me take over. I plan to see Shilang Wen tonight and discuss the case before making a decision."

Lin Xingwei had vaguely noticed who the murderer was, and Lin Xingwei didn't dare to speculate even before Tingwei's Mansion issued an arrest warrant.

The murderer had long been identified as someone from Jingshuiloutai, but Wen Lin hadn't found him out after half a month of investigation.

There were no more than fifty people on and off the Jingshui Tower. Wen Lin couldn't find out that either he was incapable or he was deliberately covering up.

Wen Lin has been the servant of the Ting Wei for several years, and he usually has a good reputation in the court. He must be capable, so he is deliberately covering up.

Lin Xingwei thinks about whom Wen Lin is most familiar with in Jingshui Tower, Guan Xingyun is the only one who can protect Wen Lin.

If Guan Xingyun is the murderer, then why did he kill Yuan Cheng?What is his connection with the Yuan family?These Lin Xingwei are still unknown.

Lin Xingwei told Wei Mingji his clueless analysis, and Wei Mingji frowned, and asked, "Did you notice anything when you are usually close to both of them?"

Lin Xing shook his head slightly, "My elder brother doesn't visit the Jingshui Pavilion as much as I do. Guan Xingyun is young and pure-minded, so he can't be seen as a man of the city."

"My elder brother thinks Guan Xingyun's hair is expensive, so he doesn't often watch his plays. When we talk about it occasionally, my elder brother seems to like Guan Xingyun very much... If Guan Xingyun is a murderer, I can't believe it." Lin Xingwei said leisurely.

It was a matter of life and death, Lin Xingwei was also very confused, and he was not sure.

Wei Mingji had just returned to the capital city, he had so many things going on, he didn't have time to eat at the Hou Mansion, so he ate two cups of tea cooked by Lin Xingwei, changed into a new uniform made for him by his future wife, and went to meet Wen Lin.

This year's Chinese New Year is different from previous years. The three brothers and sisters are all married, and there are more relatives who have to go around than in previous years. Mrs. He told Lin Xingwei that everything should be prepared for the excitement.

Lin Xingwei didn't have time to go to the village in the countryside, so he just asked someone to take a message to Liu Mao, so that the cattle and sheep would be slaughtered and sent over before New Year's Eve.

The three brothers and sisters made an appointment to throw pots in the second uncle's yard. Lin Tingyu had Qin Huairou by his side, Lin Chengan had Cao Ruicen by his side, but Lin Xingwei did not have Wei Mingji by his side.

Seeing them having fun, Lin Xingwei felt even more uncomfortable.

After meeting briefly yesterday afternoon, Wei Mingji disappeared from Lin Xingwei's eyes again.

He said yesterday that he was going to meet Wen Lin, and he didn't know how the two of them discussed the murder of the Yuan family.

Su Ji was imprisoned in Tingwei Mansion, Mrs. Hou went to Su's house yesterday and didn't come back until midnight.

Hearing that my aunt was crying so much that she couldn't even drink water, grandpa Su Taifu went to the prime minister's mansion to discuss in person, and asked the prime minister to release the three of them from Ting Wei first.

The Yuan family was at a loss for this matter, and it was Madam Yuan's unreasonable troubles, and the empress had no choice but to detain him in order to show justice.

In this situation, the queen is willing to let her go only if the Yuan family gives the queen a step down.

Lin Xingwei threw the arrows into the pot lazily and muttered, "I don't know if General Wei will come to our house today or not?"

Lin Chengan threw an arrow, twirled it in the air and then fell into the pot steadily. He said indifferently: "You can pinch and count, you can know if you do a divination."

Lin Tingyu raised his eyelids uninterestedly, smoothed out the feathers on the arrows, and threw them into the pot, "As soon as General Wei left, Ran Ran's heart was taken away, and the divination is also inaccurate."

"Don't make fun of Ran Ran. What happened recently is a big event. She feels uncomfortable if she can't see General Wei."

Cao Ruicen used to call her "Princess, Princess", but now that it's been a long time, she has become a sister-in-law on her own, and she has followed Lin Chengan, "Ran Ran, Ran Ran".

After having lunch in the Second Uncle's Courtyard, we went back to our respective homes.

Lin Tingyu wanted to send Qin Huairou back to Qin's house, and also gave him a boxing gift.Lin Cheng'an and Cao Ruicen will also go back to Cao's house before the year.

Only Lin Xingwei had nowhere to go, and Mrs. Hou had already delivered the gift from the Lu family and Mrs. Wei before returning to the capital.

Lin Xingwei planned to take a good lunch and go to Wei Mansion in the evening to see if Wei Mingji was back, and then help Mrs. Wei prepare some things for the New Year.

In the afternoon, Lin Xingwei just woke up when Luo Fu brought the news, "Guan Gongzi was captured by the prefect Cao, and he is now detained in Tingwei Mansion!"

"Why is it Cao Taishou?" Why is it not General Wei or Wen Shilang, but Cao Taishou?Lin Xingwei was very surprised.

Luo Fu said: "I don't know, but it was Wen Shilang who sent someone to pass on the message, asking the princess to go to Tingwei's mansion, and Mr. Guan specified that he wanted to see the princess."

Lin Xingwei packed up, asked Mrs. He to pack some food and some thick clothes, and was escorted by Luo Fu to Tingwei's Mansion.

Before Lin Xingwei saw Wen Lin's face, a jailer brought Lin Xingwei into the prison.

The cell door opened, Guan Xingyun was dressed in thin brocade clothes, sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, seeing Lin Xingwei, a faint smile appeared on his immature face.

Lin Xingwei put the food box and the package with thick clothes on the short table, sat upright, and asked softly, "That's fine, why did you kill Yuan Cheng?"

Guan Xingyun's throat slid, and he smiled, "Sister princess is not surprised at all?"

"No surprise."

With Lin Xingwei's sensitive mind, she had already guessed who the murderer was, but she didn't dare to make a judgment before the last step.
