Chapter 72: Chapter 072
At this time, Shen Qingci suddenly thought of Boss Hu who was selling big bowls of tea across from Yong'an Bo's Mansion.

At that time, half a sentence he said unintentionally, suddenly entered Shen Qingci's mind at this moment.

"Let me tell you, if that Miss Jiang is still alive, the marriage is still uncertain..."

Could it be that the royal family had chosen a girl from the Jiang family to be the concubine early in the morning.

Sheng Tingjing and Jiang Yuzhi have long had a relationship.

If she didn't die, wouldn't this marriage fall on Jiang Yuzhi's head?
However, Shen Qingci had seen Sheng Tingjing's flirtatious appearance before, and listening to him getting along with Jiang Yuzhi now, it didn't look like he was deeply in love and willing to take risks for her.

If he only wanted the property of the Jiang family and the dowry of the big house, he could simply marry Jiang Yuwan, so why bother to make a fuss?
Shen Qingci couldn't figure it out.

Hearing only a few words from them, he couldn't figure out the whole picture of the matter.

However, since it was related to Sheng Tingjing and Jiang Yuzhi, she just continued to investigate.

Before I knew it, I thought too much.

After regaining consciousness, Shen Qingci realized that the person under/under him was looking at her coldly.

Meeting his eyes, for a moment, the embarrassing scene just now popped up in my mind.

The two of them had already left, and they were safe for the time being, but Shen Qingci was still on top of him because of distraction...

Her scalp was numb, and she quickly let go of the hand that was pressing on his lips, and crawled away from him with all her hands and feet.

What surprised her was that Sheng Tingye, who had always had a bad tone, said, "You want to avenge Jiang Yuwan?"

Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.

Shen Qingci took a deep breath, tested his inner breath and strength, and found that he hadn't fully recovered, so he took two steps back to put some distance between him and this person, and then he said: "Yes."

She had said in the interrogation room of Dali Temple that she was Jiang Yuwan's friend and she wanted to find out the cause of her death.

It's just that this person doesn't believe it.

Right now, the two seemed to be thinking of that scene at the same time, Shen Qingci turned the dagger in his hand, looked at someone who was still unable to move on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Excellency, are you trustworthy now?"

Sheng Tingye ignored her threats, and asked without answering, "Even if her enemy is the second prince of the dynasty, or even someone who sits in a higher position?"

Without even thinking about it, Shen Qingci said firmly, "Yes."

No matter who it is, she will pay for his life!

Sheng Tingye's words reminded her.

The murderer may not only be Sheng Tingjing, but someone who sits higher than him... Concubine Zhang, Queen Wang?

Even today's saints?

But she really couldn't figure it out, not to mention herself, even her father, a wealthy idler, did not get involved in the imperial court and party disputes in the entire Yong'an House.

"Master Lin, since you are investigating Jiang Yuwan's case, have you found something?"

Listening to his tone, Shen Qingci must know something.

But obviously, the other party didn't want to tell her.

Sheng Tingye avoided answering.

Shen Qingci clenched the short dagger in his hand, wanting to threaten with force, but after thinking about it, forget it.

This man is tough.

In desperation, Shen Qingci had no choice but to sigh: "Let's reconcile, maybe we can cooperate for mutual benefit."

"Tell me what kind of glass fire beads you are looking for, maybe I can help you find clues."

Sheng Tingye sneered: "Have you ever seen someone put a knife on someone's neck and ask for reconciliation?"

Shen Qingci said in embarrassment: "It was forced by the situation."

Sheng Tingye looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Have you ever seen someone who hides his identity tightly and still wants to gain the other party's trust and cooperation?"

Shen Qingci touched the tip of his nose subconsciously: "That's a last resort."

Sheng Tingye: "Oh."

Shen Qingci: "..."

She really can't help it!

This person has a dark and cunning personality, if she really confessed her identity as the eldest lady of the Shen family, she would have to be tied up in Dali Temple.

Shen Qingci really couldn't believe it.

For him, the same is true.

The two fell into a conversation.

That being the case, there is no need to continue talking.

Just at this time, Shen Qingci's strength also recovered a lot.

She stood up and walked towards Sheng Tingye.

Originally, he planned to take this opportunity to snatch the key to the small vault on his wrist, and then run away.

Unexpectedly, she only took two steps, and before she could get close to her, the man who was limp on the ground and unable to move suddenly turned over and reached out to grab Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci was startled suddenly, and backed away in shock.

She didn't know that while she was recovering her strength, this man also recovered a lot.

It's just that, without knowing his reality, Shen Qingci was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, and if he detained him instead, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Therefore, after retreating this time, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to leave quickly.

After she quickly opened up some distance, she looked back - far away, separated by layers of tree shadows, the man fell down again with a bang.

Shen Qingci: "..."

So, he was at the end of his strength, and just now, was he trying to scare her and cheat her?

She was annoyed in her heart, and when she wanted to turn her head again, she heard footsteps from far to near, and soon Qingyun's worried voice sounded: "Master!"

Shen Qingci: "..."

Shen Qingci felt bitter.

Why didn't she try more just now.

Seeing the great opportunity to snatch back the key to the small vault, she slipped away just like that...

Shen Qingci felt unwilling and wanted to cry but did not dare to stay longer.

Since they were all found by his people, since Qingyun can't take care of her right now, if he doesn't sneak away, he just waits for his people to come and be arrested.

Shen Qingci gathered enough strength and escaped from the cedar forest with the wind blowing under his feet.

She found the stream with familiarity, washed off the dirt left on her body after crawling and rolling, and cleaned up the blood stains from the dog officer.

After she was done tidying up, she went back to Qiuwei's team again, and before she reached the Shen's house, she heard some people discussing it.

"It is said that His Highness the Third Highness is not happy about this marriage, but he never thought that he would visit the eldest daughter of the Shen family in person."

"That's not certain. I heard it was the empress's intention, and the third highness was only ordered to visit."

"Even if this is the case, it must be his intention to let the eldest girl of the Shen family go back to take care of her body first, so that she doesn't have to travel to Qiuwei again and again?"

"That's true, but it's also possible. I didn't want to see her, so I asked her to go back on purpose. Don't... be ashamed of yourself, right?"

"Hearing what you said, it seems to make sense."

"It's just that those from the Shen family can't see the situation clearly and are still having fun."

"I just came over from there and looked at His Highness from a distance... Such a character... What kind of girl should I match!"

……

Shen Qingci: "???"

So, what happened during her absence?
