Chapter 87 The Most Unlikely Person (Part )

"...I...I don't dare, Jinyu, please forgive me..."

"Why are you so afraid? I've already thought of everything for you. Just do as I say. No one will think you did it on purpose!"

Because they were far away and the person speaking was speaking in a low voice, Su Liuyue could not hear clearly.

But she did notice the uneasiness and fear in his tone.

Su Liuyue paused in her tracks and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from, only to see that there was a rockery there and the sound came from behind the rockery.

She thought about it, turned around and signaled with her eyes to Ersi and Er'an to stay where they were and not move, and to help her keep watch, and then she walked over carefully.

As I got closer, the sound became clearer and more familiar...

"Jinyu, I..."

"What do you mean by 'I'? I told my mother that I left something outside, so I could come out. Now I have to go back immediately. You have to do this even if you don't want to! What did you say when I helped you when you were bullied? You said you would do whatever I asked you to do!"

"But, Jinyu, this is really not okay. If someone finds out..."

“No one will find out. You can just say that this is the fruit wine you brewed yourself. You invite others to drink it and you drink it yourself. When others are in trouble and you are in trouble too, who would think you did it on purpose?

Anyway, your talent is so mediocre that you won't be chosen by the princess even if you go up to perform, so you might as well help me.

Don't worry, when I become the princess' student, I will definitely not forget you and will find a way to help you. Don't you like the Seventh Young Master of the Gu family? My second brother is a good friend of him. If you help me, I will let my second brother say a few good words for you in front of him. How about it?"

The woman on the other side fell silent.

The other woman obviously noticed that she was getting slack, and immediately continued, "Okay, just do as I say. Remember, you must find a way to get the women on the list I gave you to drink your wine before the talent show!

No matter what, I will become the eldest princess's student. My third sister is now the emperor's favorite concubine and has a son. She is so glorious. I can't let her outshine me no matter what!"

Who else could the owner of this voice be but the fifth daughter of the Zheng family?

Su Liuyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. What a coincidence. She was just thinking that the fifth lady of the Zheng family was the only one left to observe. Who would have thought that she would meet her at this moment.

It seems that Miss Zheng Wu is still a little girl. She thought that everyone had gone to have lunch at this time and this place was remote enough, so she dared not let anyone know and plotted these things with others.

She was not caught purely by luck.

And now, although Su Liuyue heard her conspiracy, she had no intention of interfering in their affairs.

According to her, this wasn't a serious incident where anyone was killed. With her status, she didn't have the ability to uphold justice for other girls, and she didn't want to get into trouble.

So Su Liuyue left quietly again.

She found the route easily. She didn't know how Zhou Yunke arranged it for him. The other guards were patrolling in small teams, but he was the only one wandering around.

She first found a secluded corner, and then asked Ersi to call the router over.

Lu Lu was obviously very happy to see her, and said, "Su Xiao... Ahem, Miss Su, I have been looking for you just now, and finally I see you! Miss Su, have you seen the three suspicious persons?"

Su Liuyue nodded and asked, "What about you? Which of these three women do you think is most likely to be the murderer's next target?"

Lu Lu was suddenly in a dilemma. "If I were to say, I would definitely rule out the seventh girl from the Xin family first. She doesn't look like someone who would make the murderer so paranoid.

Judging from the attitude towards servants, Miss Zheng Wu's attitude is the worst."

This idea is exactly the same as Xue Lingwan's.

Su Liuyue raised her lips slightly and said, "I'm completely the opposite of you. Among these three people, the most unlikely one is the fifth daughter of the Zheng family."

Lu Lu was stunned and asked quickly: "Why do you say that?"

Su Liuyue told Lulu what she had heard when she came here just now, and said, "The fifth girl of the Zheng family is very ambitious, and she is a person who will do anything to achieve her ambition. I don't think the murderer can control such a woman with his ability."

Lu Lu frowned and asked in confusion, "But didn't Miss Su say that the murderer started by killing prostitutes because he was afraid of her, so that he could build up his confidence while practicing? Miss Zheng Wu is someone he can't control, doesn't that explain the murderer's fear of her?"

Su Liuyue shook her head and said, "Ms. Zheng Wu's personality can indeed bring huge psychological trauma to others. But... let's recall the previous cases. In almost every case, the murderer first made the victims feel good about him and trust him before killing them.

This method of killing was not something he chose at random, but something that drove him to do so. He had suffered emotional trauma in the past. He had been insulted and despised by the woman he liked, and was devalued to nothing, so he had such a huge shadow. Only by making that woman fall in love with him and have a good impression of him, and then killing her, could he get real satisfaction.

All his previous cases were preparations for the ultimate revenge, which means that he felt that the person he wanted to take revenge on might like him now, and he has been working hard for this. However, a woman who likes a man of unknown origin and sweet words must have emotional needs in that regard. What do you think will be her attitude if such a man comes to Miss Zheng Wu?"

Lu Lu was stunned, took a breath and said, "She will be dismissive and may not even look at him."

Miss Zheng Wu is already proud and arrogant, not to mention that she is now obsessed with competing with her cousin who has become a favorite concubine. How could she possibly fall in love with a man who can do her no good in terms of power and status?

What she has now is not emotional needs, but a need for power and status!
"Yes."

Su Liuyue raised her lips slightly and said, "The murderer did so many things for revenge, it is impossible that he did not know the target of his revenge. He would not do something that he knew was useless.

Therefore, I think Miss Zheng Wu is the least likely to be the murderer's revenge target among these three women."

"Then...his target of revenge can only be Miss Xin Qi or Miss Shen San."

Lu Lu said: "If there are only two of us, it will be convenient for us to monitor..."

"Do not."

Su Liuyue shook her head and said, "You only need to focus on monitoring one woman. And, if I'm not mistaken, the murderer has already hooked up with her, and...she will take action today."

Router was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly widened.

Will there be action today?!
After explaining the route, Su Liuyue hurried back to where he had lunch.

At this time, almost all the guests were seated. Seeing that she had finally returned, Yun couldn't help but glance at her in a reproachful manner, "Why did you take so long? If Wan'er hadn't said that you felt a little uncomfortable in your stomach today, I would have sent someone to look for you.

Are you all right?"

Su Liuyue glanced at Xue Lingwan who was winking at her and said with a smile, "It's okay. Maybe I accidentally drank the tea that was stale this morning and my stomach got a little cold. It's fine now."

As soon as Su Liuyue finished speaking, a long and loud singing came from not far away: "Princess Changxi has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and His Royal Highness Prince Liang has arrived!"

There was a suppressed commotion at the banquet, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound. They saw a luxurious lady in her forties, with a plump figure, a smile on her lips, and a firm and resolute look between her eyebrows. She was supported by a group of servants and slowly walked over and walked into a small path specially left in the middle.

Next to her, there followed Zhou Yunke, a tall and slender man with his eyes straight ahead. Behind them, there followed a man wearing a royal blue brocade robe, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old and was looking around with an expression of unconcealable excitement.

I think that must be the emperor’s fourth son, Zhou Jingcheng, who was named King of Liang.

Su Liuyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the evil spirit King Wei did not come to join in the fun.

Xue Lingwan was so excited that her eyebrows danced with joy. She came close to Su Liuyue and whispered, "I heard earlier that Her Royal Highness the Princess invited several princes, but the King of Wei and the King of Chu were unable to come because of some matters. But it is very rare to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Liang at the same time today!"

Several of her little sisters haven’t received the invitation to the lotus viewing banquet yet. She can show off to them when she gets back!

Su Liuyue looked at the ancient star-chasing girl beside her with amusement.

After Princess Changxi and her entourage took their seats, all the guests stood up at the same time and saluted them.

Princess Changxi glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "Everyone, please sit down. It's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so let's not go through so many formalities, which will only spoil the fun.

After walking around for the whole morning, you must be hungry. Let’s serve the food!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a young eunuch beside her said in a long voice: "Serve - the food -"

Seeing that everyone was seated, Princess Changxi immediately turned to Zhou Yunke, who was sitting on her left, and said earnestly, "Yunke, almost all the unmarried noble ladies in the capital are here today. You must open your eyes and take a good look. Don't live like an ascetic. If you are interested in any girl, your aunt will make the decision for you!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and was about to slap the back of Zhou Yunke's right hand.

Zhou Yunke calmly moved away and said calmly, "Thank you for worrying about me, aunt."

Princess Changxi looked at her empty hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said angrily: "You are still the same as before. Your aunt is dirty? If you continue like this, you will really be left without a wife!"

Zhou Yunke raised his lips noncommittally, took a sip from the cup in front of him, and said calmly: "Aunt knows that I am like this, so why does she come to test me every time?"

Princess Changxi: “…”

This brat is often too smart and no one can control him!

If she wasn't worried that this brat would really be lonely for the rest of his life, and if marrying the Crown Princess was related to the stability of his position as Crown Prince, she wouldn't have worried about it!
Woohoo, I can't control the word count when writing the plot. There are a lot of things to write about this lotus viewing banquet, so I will post two chapters together tomorrow afternoon!
