When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Baiyu was awakened by a basin of cold water.

The sudden chill all over her body made her shiver.

It was a cold day in the dead of winter. In just a moment, a thin layer of frost condensed on Xu Baiyu's hair. She blew air into her palms from time to time and rubbed her arms continuously, without even having time to look up to see what was happening in front of her.

"Xu Baiyu."

A cold male voice suddenly came from above my head.

Xu Baiyu looked up suddenly and saw clearly who the people in front of him were: Xu Mingxi, Xu Minghui, and Xu Guanghai.

Xu Baiyu only escaped when the Xu family was out. She didn't know when Xu Xinyue planned it, and there was no informant to inform her of Yang's murder, so she knew nothing about the current situation.

But the situation doesn't seem to be simple.

Xu Baiyu stared at the people in front of him helplessly and said timidly: "I, I——"

He hesitated for a while, but couldn't explain it clearly.

Xu Minghui spoke first with a cold face: "Xu Baiyu, do you recognize this thing?"

Xu Baiyu was unable to react, and a tiny cold light flew straight into her arms. Xu Baiyu instinctively caught it with her hand, and when she looked closely, she found that it was a short hairpin.

This hairpin looks very familiar. I haven't seen it for many days. Isn't this the one that Xu Xinyue pulled out from her head when she met her in Huacai Pavilion that day?

Why are you here! !

Xu Baiyu didn't know the whole story and didn't dare to respond easily. He just held the hairpin and watched with a frown, guessing what he would do next and thinking about countermeasures.

"You don't have to deny it so quickly. This hairpin has your name on it. You should know that."

Xu Baiyu pursed her lips secretly. Yes, that was true. She was careless. It would cause a lot of trouble if she threw something like this anywhere!

Because Xu Xinyue gave him two golden hairpins that day, he actually ignored this matter!

In this case, there is nothing to deny, Xu Baiyu simply agreed: "Yes, it is my hairpin. But due to my carelessness, it has been lost for quite some time. Thank you for helping me find it."

It was such a common and casual excuse that Xu Minghui sneered, "Oh? Lost it? Do you remember where you lost it?"

Xu Baiyu said indifferently: "I don't remember. Girls have so many hairpins and rings, who wouldn't lose ten or eight of them? My hairpin is quite old, it's possible that it got loose and fell anywhere."

"That's easy to say."

Xu Minghui's face was as cold as frost and his eyes were sharp. He could see through Xu Baiyu's guilty conscience and panic beneath his forced calm appearance.

She was always picking her nails intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Minghui took a step forward and looked down at him, "Do you know where we found this?"

Xu Baiyu really didn't know what he meant, so he subconsciously asked, "Where?"

Xu Minghui crouched down, stared at Xu Baiyu and said, "Next to mother's body."

Xu Baiyu was shocked and trembled: "Beside the corpse... Madam, is she dead!?"

"You're still pretending!" Xu Mingxi couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed at her angrily and said, "This hairpin was hidden under mother's skirt on the night of the incident! It was the evidence mother risked her life to leave for us, what else do you have to say?"

Xu Baiyu's mind went blank: Yang is dead! ?

Who killed her? Was it Xu Xinyue? She did it? But why did she leave her hairpin there?

A flash of panic flashed through Xu Baiyu's mind: Xu Xinyue was framing her!!!

She actually killed Yang with her own hands and pinned the crime on her! !

"No, it wasn't me. I didn't kill Yang! I was also the one who put the hairpin there!!"

Xu Mingxi and Xu Minghui looked at each other and asked, "You didn't kill him. So, do you know who did it?"

Xu Baiyu quickly replied: "It's Xu Xinyue!!"

Xu Minghui's face was cold and tense just now. Hearing her say this name, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous: "Xu Xinyue? Are you talking about Princess Rong?"

"No, that's right, it's her! Maybe she and Prince Rong killed Madam Yang..."

Xu Mingxi couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him: "Everyone in Kyoto knows that Prince Rong and Princess Rong were assassinated in Puji Temple. Their whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows whether they are alive or dead. You are smart to find such a dead person who can't testify to blame you!"

Xu Baiyu covered his face with his hands, his face full of disbelief.

Prince Rong and Princess Rong were assassinated in Puji Temple?

She doesn’t know!

These days, Xu Baiyu and Qiu Lian have been hiding in their rooms in the inn almost all day, with the door closed. Occasionally, they hear diners downstairs talking about something, as if some noble had been assassinated and his whereabouts were unknown.

It was just because he was in danger at the time, Xu Baiyu had no time to care about the life and death of others, nor did he have the mind to find out more.

The people who were assassinated were Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan! ?

Xu Baiyu felt a little dizzy. How could it be possible?

Isn't that Prince Rong very powerful? How could it be that——

But she couldn't think too much at the moment, as she still had to deal with the person in front of her: "Even if she was assassinated, it doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility that they are the one who killed the Madam!!"

Xu Minghui said: "It is now well known that the time when Prince Rong was assassinated was almost the same as the time when my mother died!"

"It's understandable to say that it happened at the same time! You mean, while they were dealing with the assassins, they had time to assassinate my mother!?"

"You think the assassin is your own man? He has to obey your orders whenever he wants to act!? Is there such a thing in the world?"

After hearing this, Xu Baiyu was so anxious that tears came out: How could this happen, how could this happen!

How could it be such a coincidence!

But Xu Xinyue must have killed him! There is no doubt about it.

How to make Xu Minghui believe that she is innocent!

Xu Baiyu lowered his head and saw the short hairpin in his hand. He was moved: "This, this hairpin! It was taken away by Xu Xinyue. She exchanged it with me for two gold hairpins. Those two gold hairpins are still in my bag."

Xu Baiyu looked around, searching for his bag: "Where are my valuables?"

Xu Minghui was too lazy to listen to her "nonsense".

"One moment she said that it was Xu Xinyue who killed the person, and the next moment she said that Xu Xinyue exchanged two gold hairpins for your short hairpin. Is she out of her mind, exchanging two gold hairpins for a piece of junk like yours?"

"Although I didn't have a close relationship with the third sister, but I vaguely remember that she didn't seem to be stupid, and her relationship with you didn't seem to be very close either!"

He turned around and asked Xu Mingxi for his opinion. Xu Mingxi nodded and said, "Yes, they are not close friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is hatred between them."

Xu Minghui became interested: "Oh? Is that so?"

Xu Mingxi said, "At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Xu Baiyu wanted to replace Xu Xinyue and framed her, but in the end, she suffered the consequences and it was she who was tricked, and Xu Xinyue entered the banquet. Xu Baiyu held a grudge against her for a long time."

Xu Minghui looked at Xu Baiyu again and said grimly, "So you want to avenge what happened that day, so you want to drag Xu Xianyue into this? Put the blame on her?"
