Chapter 196: Time with my fiancée (Part )
The man standing at the door was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved robe embroidered with cloud and thunder patterns. It was rare that he was not wearing a narrow-sleeved robe that was convenient for movement, but it made his face look even more handsome and elegant.

When Su Liuyue came out, he was talking to the yamen runner guarding the door. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, turned his head, and looked straight at Su Liuyue with his phoenix eyes. The indifference in his eyes seemed to fade away a lot when he saw her.

Su Liuyue was a little surprised. After a pause, she took another step, walked to his side and asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Judging from his attire today, he should not have gone to the military camp. When he was not in the military camp, he was either in Jingzhao Prefecture or working in the Eastern Palace.

Zhou Yunke lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, saying, "I was just handling some affairs in the East Palace, and suddenly I heard from my subordinates that General Zhong's little daughter was in trouble."

General Zhong was the former head of the Zhong family.

The Miss Zhong just now is General Zhong’s daughter who has grown old.

Although the Zhong family fought them tenaciously to the end, the influence of the Zhong family among the soldiers of the previous dynasty should not be underestimated, so in the end, they did not end up like the Lu family, the foreign relatives of the previous dynasty, who were exterminated along with all nine clans. Although they no longer had the glory of the past, at least they still had their lives.

Daqing's army has recruited many soldiers from the previous dynasty. Once this case gets out, it is bound to cause a lot of turmoil.

Thinking of Miss Zhong, Su Liuyue's eyes turned slightly cold. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Li Erlang and his wife, who had been huddled aside like two partridges and dared not breathe since Zhou Yunke came. She sneered, walked straight to Li Hengyi, and said in a cold voice: "Li Erlang, I have a few questions about this case to ask you."

Li Hengyi's heart shrank slightly, and he glanced at Zhou Yunke furtively, saying, "Miss Su San, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Anyway, he had never set foot in this yard these days.

They would never think that he was the one who killed Zhong Sitian.

"very good."

Su Liuyue said calmly: "I heard from the maidservant beside Miss Zhong that Miss Zhong sneaked out more than half a month ago, and after that, Li Erlang got very angry and ignored Miss Zhong for nearly ten days.

Six days ago, Li Erlang stepped into this courtyard again, but he had a very unhappy quarrel with Miss Zhong. In the past, Li Erlang would always stay for most of the day, and even stayed until the moon was at its highest point in the sky several times, when staying any later would arouse suspicion, and then he would reluctantly leave. But this time, he left in less than half an hour.

Su Liuyue's words sounded fine at first, but the further they went on, the more dumbfounded Li Hengyi became.

No, she could ask questions, but there was no need for her to explain the details of his relationship with Zhong Sitian in such detail!

Sure enough, before Su Liuyue finished speaking, he felt an extremely resentful and forbearing gaze coming from the side.

Hearing Su Liuyue's words, Murong Ying immediately remembered that her husband would come back very late every once in a while, using the excuse that he had a lot of work to do at the government office or that he wanted to go out for drinks with his brothers. Sometimes he would even tiptoe back to the room after she had fallen asleep!

How foolish she was before! She thought that since this man had promised her to be together for the rest of her life and had not brought any woman to the backyard for so many years, she thought that he would never betray her! But who would have thought that when she was waiting for him to come back in the room with great trust in him, this man was fooling around with another woman!

Seeing the man in front of him sweating profusely and not daring to look at his wife, Su Liuyue pulled the corner of his mouth and finally asked the question, "What happened between you and Miss Zhong when you came to this courtyard six days ago? You and Miss Zhong have had frequent conflicts recently, and because of this, you felt unhappy for a while..."

Seeing that Su Liuyue was about to say something outrageous, Li Hengyi could no longer care about anything else and said quickly: "Miss Su San, it's unfair! I... I and Sisi... Miss Zhong did have some conflicts, but I won't kill her for that!"

"Then tell me, why did you leave so quickly in anger six days ago?" "Is this... is this related to this case? That's my private matter..."

"Li Jilang."

Su Liuyue smiled coldly and said sternly: "You are now one of the suspects. Are you sure you want to hide this from us? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people! If Li Erlang continues like this, I don't mind inviting you back to Jingzhao Prefecture for a slow trial!"

Looking at this woman's expression, she really means it!
Li Erlang had never investigated a case before, so he didn't know that Jingzhao Prefecture couldn't just arrest anyone casually, unless that person was indeed a very strong suspect!

He was frightened for a moment, and unconsciously glanced at Zhou Yunke standing behind Su Liuyue, and said in a somewhat collapsed tone: "I... I said! That day, I... I went to the room of the woman surnamed Zhong, and I... I wanted to carry her to bed, but she was very reluctant and used the excuse that she had her period! I... I have been with her for so long, and she thought I didn't know that her period had already passed! This woman just didn't want to serve me and lied to me on purpose!
In this situation, I was naturally angry! She was the one who did something wrong before, but she didn't reflect on it at all. I took the initiative to give her a way out, but she still acted like that. Who does she think she is..."

However, before Li Hengyi could say anything, Murong Ying on the side could no longer bear it and suddenly shouted in a crying voice, "Li Hengyi!" She didn't even care about Zhou Yunke's presence and stretched out her ten fingers to grab Li Hengyi.

Although Li Hengyi had been on guard against Murong Ying, he never thought that she would dare to go crazy like this in front of the Crown Prince. He was accidentally scratched several times on his face by her, and he immediately got angry, "Murong Ying! Control yourself! Is this a place where you can go crazy..."

"You bastard! You did something wrong and let me and the children down, and you still think you're right!"

Su Liuyue, who was watching the couple fighting, did not show any surprise on her face. She looked at them calmly for a while and then said, "I have finished asking questions. Li Erlang, please do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhou Yunke glanced at Li Hengyi with a half-smile, "Before, I often heard Minister Li praise Li Erlang for his youth and calmness, but it turns out that he is so calm."

After saying this, without even looking at Li Hengyi's horrified and panicked expression, he took a few quick steps to catch up with Su Liuyue.

Seeing Su Liuyue walking towards the carriage he was sitting in, Zhou Yunke suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Liuyue's hand.

This time, he did not hold her wrist through her sleeve, but directly grasped her hand, and his five fingers tightly clasped with hers very naturally. With a faint smile on his face, he whispered, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Su Liuyue was a little stunned. She looked down at their clasped hands unconsciously. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she knew that this was not the time to care about these things. She nodded and said, "I want to go to the residence of the first deceased to take a look."

Although the first case happened eight days ago and the crime scene had already been cleaned up, Su Liuyue still wanted to go and see it in person.

"it is good."

Zhou Yunke said: "I'll go with you."

Su Liuyue couldn't help but look at him in confusion, "Isn't your highness very busy?"

"I am busy, but not so busy that I don't even have time to spend with my fiancée."

Zhou Yunke chuckled, and then his expression became slightly solemn, "Besides, this case involves the Zhong family of the previous dynasty, and I am somewhat concerned about it."
