Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Just as I was about to get up, he threw something on the table with a thud.

When I saw the scabbard that Mutie gave me, I frowned immediately and grabbed the thing in my hand.

"Situ Xuan, you are going too far. What are you doing rummaging around in my room? Did you get my permission?"

"The entire Marquis' Mansion is mine. I don't need anyone else's approval to do anything I want."

I cursed inwardly, is this guy going to make things clear with me?

I saw him slowly reaching out to open the wooden box that had been placed beside him early in the morning, and inside lay a dagger.

He didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly.

"What? If you don't obey me, will I commit suicide in front of you with this knife?" I said deliberately.

"Take a good look at this knife." He pushed the box in front of me.

Only then did I turn my attention to the thing in front of me. Is there anything strange about this knife?

I took it out of the box, held it in my hand, and slowly raised it to my eyes. The blade and the handle were nothing special, but the length... I looked at the scabbard next to it.

After hesitating for a moment, I slowly inserted the dagger into the scabbard. It fit perfectly, as if it was specially made.

"When you were carried down from the mountain, Doctor Zhang was in the palace to stop your bleeding and pulled out the knife. I saw it clearly from the side. However, you were unconscious the whole time, so you may not remember much. This was the murder weapon. But I am also curious. You only had this short knife on you that day. Where did the matching scabbard come from? You even put it under your pillow and protected it so tightly. What was your intention? Why don't you explain it to me?"

Situ Xuan said this in one breath and snatched the entire knife from my hand.

Because the information he just received was too shocking, his body was shaking slightly and he couldn't control himself, but he really wanted to get the things back.

I stared at what he held in his hand and said nothing.

He continued, "The evidence room at the Dali Temple was robbed a few days ago. I thought about it and wondered what could be stolen from there. Isn't it a coincidence that the knife and other things related to the case were taken out by me and put somewhere else just because of what you said before."

"I don't know the assassin!" I avoided his gaze and said this firmly.

"You're confessing yourself. I haven't even asked you about the assassin yet!" Situ Xuan said, slamming the knife in his hand on the table with a sound that scared me.

At this point, I can now confirm that Mu Tie was the assassin who stabbed me that day.

Although I almost died, I don't hate him. I want to believe that he had his own reasons, otherwise with his skills he could have just slashed my neck with one blow instead of waiting for me to turn around before stabbing me in the back.

"It's Jia Liu!" Situ Xuan stretched out his hand and turned my face, forcing me to look at him.

I didn't say anything. He guessed the result from my reaction and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You said you have a crush on someone. I thought about it and you haven't been in the mansion for long. You don't have many opportunities to go out, and you know even fewer people. The person who can make you fall in love in such a short time must be someone you have met many times. I guessed several people, but I never thought you would fall in love with a stink bug!"

"Situ Xuan! Don't go too far!" Mu Tie is not a stink bug, you stinky brother are cursing people, huh!

"I went too far? He was hiding in the mansion and colluding with the thieves to assassinate the prince and frame me. If you hadn't been there that day and saved the prince, our whole family would be in prison now!"
