Feng Yexuan was not the kind of person who liked to explain himself.
He waved his hand, and Qing Ming immediately turned around and left the room.
Not long after, Qing Ming rushed back, "Prince, indeed, there are two corpses in the firewood storeroom."
"One was killed by severing the neck's blood vessels, while the other died of poisoning, both corpses carried deadly poison in their systems."
Chu Qianli said coldly, "Stop putting on an act in front of me, the Prince Residence is yours, who else could have sent them if not your people?"
Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened, displeased he said, "If I say it wasn't my doing, then it wasn't!"
"Who else could it be if not you? It's obviously you!" Chu Qianli insisted.
Feng Yexuan grew angry, "You dare question me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
"You..." Feng Yexuan was furious.
Never had anyone dared to question her like this!
This woman, she was definitely the first!
However, Chu Qianli wasn't angry at all at this moment, but instead looked at him with a cold smile.
"What's wrong? Has the Prince finally tasted what it feels like to be wronged?"
Feng Yexuan's lips tightened slightly, he remained silent.
Did this woman have it all figured out already, that the people weren't sent by him, and just wanted him to taste being wronged?
"You knew from the beginning that it wasn't my doing?"
Chu Qianli shook off his large hand, turned, and sat down on a chair, crossing her long legs.
"If it were someone you had sent, why would they act so sneakily?"
Inside and out, the Prince Residence was full of his people.
If he wanted to kill her, it would be an easy task; there was no need to poison and silence someone like that.
In Chu Qianli's eyes, Feng Yexuan might not be a good man.
But, as the War God revered by the masses, he had no reason to lie to her face.
"Moreover, they wanted to humiliate me first before killing me, how could your people dare?"
She may be unworthy, but she was still his Princess. To humiliate her was akin to humiliating the War God himself.
"They wanted to humiliate you?" Feng Yexuan's face remained unchanged, but his palms tightened secretly.
Qing Ming immediately sensed his rage.
Those people, they really had the gall of a leopard!
In the War God's own residence, they even dared to lay hands on the Prince's woman!
Even if the Prince didn't like the Princess, he wouldn't stand for any man to humiliate his wife like that!
"Rest assured, Prince, I will thoroughly investigate this matter!" Qing Ming bowed slightly and immediately left the room.
He was off to take care of it.
Feng Yexuan stayed silent, his gaze resting on Chu Qianli.
Since tonight, why had this woman become so different from the past?
Before him, she always acted shy and bashful, showing him only her best side.
Her behavior was affected and contrived, which was revolting!
But now, after pushing him away and sitting down on the chair with her legs crossed, there was no proper sitting posture, her demeanor casual, and not a hint of nervousness was visible.
She didn't even try to butter him up like in the past when she saw him!
Somehow, though, this version of Chu Qianli seemed more pleasing to his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Haven't you seen a beauty before?" Chu Qianli leaned back in her chair.
Her gaze at him, though not contemptuous, was devoid of any sentiment.
"Now that the Prince has tasted being wronged, can you empathize a little?"
"I didn't poison the Fourteenth Master! You ordered Cuicui to be beaten to death, breaking my clue. Isn't the Prince's action much worse than my earlier irrationality?"
Feng Yexuan did not reply to that.
"Do you insist you're innocent?" he finally asked.
Chu Qianli gave him a glance, couldn't help but snort, "Nonsense!"
Feng Yexuan's face turned visibly sour, "You'd better watch your attitude!"
This woman had managed to anger him so many times in just one night!
Anyone else would have been crushed by him already!
Chu Qianli glared at him, showing no sign of weakness:
"When the Prince was wronged, his attitude was a million times worse than mine! Can't I get angry?"
Feng Yexuan was taken aback, at a loss for words for a moment.
But indeed, this woman had the courage of a bear and a leopard.
How would she have dared before?
Was the Chu Qianli in front of him really Chu Qianli?
Or was she an imposter?
