Chapter 160 Eat melon and eat it on your own head
The madam looked suspicious, but the guests who came with Xie Lan looked excited. They felt like they had smelled something big. They couldn't wait to ask, "Who is the murderer? Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now, tell us now."
Xie Lan often eats melons, so he understands very well the urgency of the spectators to know the truth.
She didn't hesitate and pointed at the red-dressed girl next to the madam, "That's her."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger.
After seeing who Xie Lan was pointing at, someone blurted out, "The murderer is Liu Xuxu? Impossible!"
The other girls in the flower house who were dressed up gorgeously also shook their heads. "Young lady, you may not know that Liu Xuxu and Chu Yiyi are the sisters with the best relationship in our Wanhua House. Liu Xuxu would never kill Chu Yiyi."
Even the madam didn't believe it.
"Master Xiao, although I don't know what clues you have found, it is impossible that Xuxu killed Yiyi. The two of them were sold to the brothel together by human traffickers.
Because Xuxu is two years older than Yiyi, she has always taken care of her as her younger sister. Whenever Yiyi is not feeling well, Xuxu takes care of her personally.
Although Yiyi is the most beautiful girl in my Wanhua Tower, to be honest, the care and concern I, as a mother, give to Yiyi cannot compare to the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of Xuxu.
Because Yiyi is still a virgin, she usually sells her art but not her body. Previously, a customer was attracted by her beauty and wanted to force himself on her under the influence of alcohol, but Xuxu helped her to fend him off.
Anyone in this world could kill Yiyi, but that person could never be Xuxu."
Liu Xuxu's heart was in her throat at first, but when she heard the madam and a group of sisters defending her, her heart slowly calmed down.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her red eyes, then she said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know why the girl slandered me for killing Yi Yi, but I swear to heaven that I, Liu Xuxu, definitely did not kill Yi Yi.
I have always loved her as my own sister, and when I learned that she was murdered, I wanted to cut the murderer into pieces."
Liu Xuxu cried more and more sadly, and no one doubted her words. After all, everyone in Wanhua Tower could see how well she treated Chu Yiyi.
Xie Lan mercilessly exposed her true colors, "Stop pretending. Although you didn't kill Chu Yiyi yourself, you planned her death."
"You did treat Chu Yiyi as your own sister before, but ever since she was chosen as the Oiran, your attitude towards her has changed."
Liu Xuxu's face changed, "You are talking nonsense!"
“You know whether I am talking nonsense or not.
Originally, you thought you had the best looks in the entire Wanhua Tower and that you would definitely be chosen as the most beautiful courtesan.
Unexpectedly, he lost to Chu Yiyi by one vote.
Since then, although you were jealous, unwilling, and resentful, you had not yet decided to kill Chu Yiyi.
Unfortunately, you two fell in love with the same man."
Liu Xuxu stared at Xie Lan, feeling both shocked and angry. She wanted to stop her from talking, but in her panic she couldn't find an excuse to stop her.
"So, Chu Yiyi's death was a murder of passion?"
It seems that this matter is indeed a big deal.
The guests who came with Xie Lan couldn't wait to ask, "Who is that man? He actually bewitched the two girls in Wanhua Tower and killed for him?"
"I also want to know which prince it is, or which minister with great power in the court?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on waiting for Xie Lan to reveal the answer.
Xie Lan looked in a certain direction with a meaningful look on his face, "Neither. That man is neither a prince nor a minister in the court. He is - the prince of Kang."
Poof... Zhao Yi was eating melon with everyone, but he didn't expect that the melon would be eaten by himself. In his excitement, he sprayed out the tea he had just drunk.
"What? It's actually the prince of Kang? Miss Xie, could this be a mistake?"
Some people find it incredible, while others think it is not surprising. "Although the Crown Prince of Kang has not yet entered the court as an official, he is handsome and young and promising.
The most important thing is that he is the legitimate son of King Kang and will inherit the title of King Kang in the future. Chu Yiyi and Liu Xuxu like him, even if they can't marry him as the Crown Prince's wife, being his concubine is a great blessing. "
Zhao Yi was nearly choked to death by this unexpectedly large melon. Listening to other people's comments, he could no longer maintain his usual elegant demeanor.
"Miss Xie, don't talk nonsense. Although I have been to Wanhua Tower several times, I always came with friends to drink and listen to music. I have never met Miss Yiyi alone.
Every time I saw Miss Xuxu, it was with friends, and I never had any private contact with her."
Several young masters who often played with Zhao Yi also testified for him, "Prince Kang did not lie. He only came to Wanhua Tower three times, and each time we went back after listening to the music. He really did not have any contact with Miss Yiyi and Miss Xuxu alone."
"No, he did."
Zhao Yi didn't expect Xie Lan to lie, "Miss Xie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want..."
"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say first." Xie Lan waved his hand at him, and then said, "Did you ever help Chu Yiyi out when she was molested by a customer?
Another time, Liu Xuxu sprained her ankle, and you helped her up?"
It was just a trivial matter. If Xie Lan hadn't mentioned it, Zhao Yi would have forgotten it completely.
Seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, Zhao Yi was stunned. "Yes, there was such a thing. You don't mean to say that Liu Xuxu killed Miss Yiyi just because of such a trivial matter, right?"
Xie Lan glanced at him, "Although it's unbelievable, Chu Yiyi did fall in love with you because you rescued her that time.
Today the madam wants to bid for Chu Yiyi's virginity, but she is unwilling to give it to someone else. So she wrote a letter, asking you to take her back as a concubine.
"However, she didn't know that Liu Xuxu, who had always taken care of her as a sister, also had her eyes on the Crown Prince of Kang. She also didn't know that Liu Xuxu was already angry with her for stealing the title of the most beautiful woman, and now that she knew that she also wanted to marry you as a concubine, she hated you even more."
"In order to marry into the Kang Wang Mansion, Liu Xuxu agreed to help Chu Yiyi pass the letter to the Kang Wang Prince. But she secretly took advantage of Chu Yiyi's trust and drugged her tea, ruining her innocence."
Liu Xuxu's pupils shrank. Who was this Miss Xie? She had done it so covertly, how could she know so much about what she had done?
Liu Xuxu was feeling very anxious. Outside the crowd, a man in grey tights glanced at her, clenched his fists, and quietly left.
Xie Lan suddenly shouted, "Catch him, he is the murderer who killed the Oiran."
Xiao Jin waved his hand immediately.
Yang Feng and Zhao Chong jumped up at the same time, drew their swords and rushed towards the man in gray.
Seeing that the roads in front and behind were blocked, the man in gray swung his sword without saying a word.
Although the man was highly skilled in martial arts, he knew that he was no match for Yang Feng and Zhao Chong.
After a feint, he suddenly broke out of the encirclement of Yang Feng and Zhao Chong in a strange manner, turned around and pounced on Xie Lan...
