Female Master: The Cold Prince

"The news was given by Li Luolan. I can tell you. You can't suspect me of this!"

"Don't forget, Li Luolan was recommended by you personally. The reason why I started to suspect you again is because I learned about her identity as the elder of Juesha Hall." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

At that time, she felt that there was something wrong with Li Luolan. As an elder of the Juesha Hall, why did she hide her identity? In the end, it was Ye Lin who told her.

"Li Luolan once explained this question. She had just been promoted to the position of elder and had not had time to know what was going on in the hall." Jiang Huaiying said in a lukewarm manner.

"Well, I can understand what you said, so I kept my doubts in my heart. Later, Ye Lin's death made me doubt you again."

Ye Lin's identity had just been discovered by the two of them, and she died the next day. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It must have been man-made.

Jiang Huaiying did not answer or argue, and said in a very nonchalant manner: "Since Your Highness Prince Chen already doubted me, why do you still trust me in the future?"

It was indeed she who ordered the death of Ye Lin. She had some reservations before killing her, but she chose to seek death by sneaking into her room and even taking away the important token.

If this person is not eliminated, her identity will be discovered by him sooner or later. So she decided to go all out and let Li Luolan lure her out and kill her.

Seeing that she did not deny it, that is, she admitted that she killed Ye Lin. Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes were like ice, and her voice was icy cold as she said, "That day, I asked someone to present your information, but it was this information that made me dispel my suspicion of you once again."

Jiang Huaiying, the prefect of Dongcheng Prefecture, was a native of Dongcheng. He was born in a poor family and was in a desperate situation.

But she was gifted since childhood. She studied hard for twenty years and went through many twists and turns. Finally, when she was thirty-five years old, she successfully became the prefect of Dongcheng Prefecture.

From then on, the peasants who had been liberated began to sing.

Since she took office, she has worked diligently and for the people. Coming from a poor family, she understands better the hardships of life for the poor people.

Therefore, she often paid out of her own pocket to help the poor people and became a good magistrate praised by the local people.

Jiang Huaiying naturally knew what information she was talking about. A deep and complex look flashed across her eyes, and a touch of emotion appeared on her face.

Xiahou Jiuyue sensed her emotional fluctuations, and changed the subject, saying, "But it was not until the death of one person that I finally confirmed that you are the leader of Juesha Hall, Jiang Huanyu."

At first, she felt that the name Jiang Huanyu was very similar to Jiang Huaying's name, as they both had the same pronunciation.

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiying put away the complexity in his eyes, and said with the same expression as before: "Oh? I wonder who it is?"

"Juesha Hall, deputy hall master." Xiahou Jiuyue looked into her eyes and said.

Jiang Huaiying's eyes flashed, and he said, "I didn't know anything about the deputy hall master in advance."

"That's why this is your biggest loophole." Xiahou Jiuyue said with narrowed eyes.

"I am a stupid humble official. May I ask Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Xiahou Jiuyue glanced at her and said, "The deputy hall master is Jiang Huanyu's biological sister, but no one in the entire hall has ever seen her. But Ye Juan, who pretended to be her, was suddenly killed."

"Since no one in the hall has ever seen the real deputy hall master, how did Ye Juan reveal her identity? The only explanation is that her identity was discovered by Jiang Huanyu."

After listening to this, Jiang Huaiying sneered and said, "Please forgive me for not understanding. I didn't know someone was impersonating me beforehand. Besides, I have never been back to Juesha Hall, so how could I know that someone was impersonating me?"

"Ye Shi found a deadly poison in the body of the deputy hall master. When he first found her, she had not yet died of the poison. Afterwards, Ye Juan took her place and successfully entered the Juesha Hall. But within less than a day, she died."

"Thinking about the previous discoveries, the deputy hall master was already poisoned and would not survive more than half a day. Ye Shi and the others overlooked this point, which led to the exposure of Ye Juan's identity." Xiahou Jiuyue said word by word.

After a pause, she continued, "And the poison in the deputy hall master's body was probably injected by the hall master himself!"

"You poisoned her, knowing that she would not survive for more than half a day. So, when you learned the next day that the deputy hall master was still safe and sound, you immediately recognized Ye Juan's identity, right?"

Jiang Huaiying did not answer this, but raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Your Highness, what you said cannot prove that I am the leader of the Juesha Hall, and these seem to have nothing to do with me."

Knowing that she would deny it, Ye Shi looked at her with hatred, took out a token from his pocket, and said in a bad tone: "Sir, this is the token I found on the corpse. You can recognize it, right?"

When Jiang Huaiying saw the token in Ye Shi's hand with the word "Jiang" engraved on it, his eyes darkened.

"We followed the direction of the token and combined with the servants around her, we quickly found out her true identity. Her identity is Jiang Huaixue, your biological sister from the same father as Jiang Huaiying." Ye Shi said, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart.

Jiang Huaiying's face became uglier and uglier, with a strong hatred in his eyes. He was still trying to argue, "Even if that's the case, why would I kill her?"

"Because she knows your secret." Xiahou Jiuyue said at this time, without a trace of warmth in her tone.

Ye Er found out that Jiang Huaixue, relying on his sister's status as a prefect, had been bullying the people and seizing men for a long time. He was a complete playboy.

Not only that, this person was also very fond of gambling. Not only did he refuse to pay back the money he lost, he even randomly arrested people on the street and took some good boys with no background or identity to pay off his debts.

Although Jiang Huaiying is the eldest sister, she can't control her younger sister. She has no choice but to go door to door to apologize.

The more she did this, the more unscrupulous Jiang Huaixue became, until she accidentally learned that the suddenly rising Jueshatang was actually her sister's power, and then she came to threaten her.

She was in urgent need of money recently, and the people of Dongcheng avoided her as if she were the devil. She was almost sick with worry about not being able to get money, so this unexpected discovery was like an unexpected windfall for her.

Jueshatang was a powerful force with many people and certainly had abundant financial resources. After making up her mind, she went to them without any scruples.

Although the Jiang family rose from the poor, they have followed the rule of not having any connection with underworld killers for generations. Based on this ancestral rule, the Jiang family can only study literature for generations and not touch martial arts.

What Jiang Huaiying did this time broke the rules set by the Jiang family's ancestors. If the elders in the family found out, it would definitely cause trouble and even lead to him losing his job.

Jiang Huaixue was well aware of the importance of the matter, and relying on this, she forcefully proposed to move into the Juesha Hall and become the deputy head of the hall.

If Jiang Huaiying agrees, she will keep it a secret, otherwise, everyone will know.
