Chapter 461 The Murder (Part One)


    Lady Hua Guo frowned and talked with the oldestdy for a while. Thedy nodded her head to her,


    and walked up to thatdy. "Young Lady Liu, your jade pendant is missing?"


    The woman quickly answered, "yes, it is missing. How could it disappear in a twinkling of an eye?"


    "What does the jade pendant look like, Young Lady Liu? I''ll ask the servant to look for it. Okay? " The


    oldestdy of the mansion asked in a gentle tone with a smile.


    "It is a pure white jade pendant, made of very precious warm jade. It was brought back by Qianjue for


    me from Qin Xi Cityst month. I hung the jade pendant around my waist. Because I love it very much,


    I often carry it to my hands to y. It couldn''t be dropped by ident. It must be stolen by someone. "


    Young Lady Liu answered anxiously, eyes full of worry.


    But her words were not kind. Someone sneered in a mockery way, "it''s just a jade pendant. So what?


    It''s valuable, yes. But everyone here has a big name in the Jin city. Who will take the jade pendant


    away? All the jade pillows on my bed are made of warm jade. "


    Young Lady Liu red at the woman who spoke, but didn''t contradict because of her status. She just


    said sulkily, "although we are all masters here, not everyone is noble." Then she turned to look at the


    sidedy of Gu Zhaoge. After a pause, she sneered coldly again, "moreover, maybe the master is not


    in the mood to steal. But I''m not sure about the servants."


    The oldestdy frowned at Young Lady Liu''s words. Servants of the guests were all waited in the outer


    court except the servants of Lord Hua Guo''s mansion. Most of them were servants here. Young Lady


    Liu was ming the servant of the mansion for being impudent and stealing her jade pendant.


    "Please sit down and wait, Young Lady Liu. I have asked my servants to search the garden house just


    now and check if there is something left there." The oldestdy asked her servants to look for the jade


    pendant there.


    After a while, a servant came over with a small jade pendant in his hand.


    Young Lady Liu saw it and immediately stood up and said, "it''s my jade pendant." Then she rushed to


    the servant and took the jade pendant from him. After checking it carefully, she squinted at the servant


    and asked, "who took the jade pendant?"


    The servant answered in a hurry. "Nobody took the jade pendant. Maybe you lost the jade pendant


    when you stood up so quickly just now. When I went to look for it, I found it on a chair hanging on it. I


    saw this jade pendant hanging on the back of the chair when I was looking for it. "


    A mocking smile crept up on everyone''s face. They looked at Young Lady Liu with mockery in their


    eyes. Young Lady Liu muttered and sat down indignantly.


    Everyone had a quiet lunch. After the meal, most of them said goodbye and left, but only some who


    were on good terms with the people of Lord Hua Guo''s mansion stayed.


    The Lady Hua Guo was so old that she felt tired after sitting outside for a while. She asked Yun Shang


    to send her back to her yard for a rest in the yard.


    "That Young Lady Liu is Master of the court Liu Jin''s daughter-inw. Liu Jin only has a son, a daughter


    and son, and Liu Yinfeng is his foster son. Unfortunately, Lady Liu passed away very early. Her son


    was not a qualified man, and his wife was quite disobedient. The Liu n climbed to where it was today


    all because of Lady Liu. One third of the power was taken by Lady Liu when she was still alive; one


    third of power is due to the reason why the emperor pitied the seventh prince when he was a kid and

    got hurt by someone, the rest of the power was due to Liu Yinfeng. Liu Yinfeng is a talented young


    man. His majesty thinks highly of him, but he has never rewarded him. The emperor just gave every gift


    he deserved to the Liu n. " Lady Hua Guo whispered as if they were having a chat.


    "But why?" Since Yun Shang came to the state of Xia, she felt a little strange. Liu Yinfeng was indeed


    well known in the state and his ability was no less than any of the prince''s, but he had no official


    position in the state, except for a military counsellor.


    "Before Qingyan didn''te back, I always believed that the Majesty favored the seventh prince. Even


    though the seventh prince was often in poor health, no one could tell whether his illness was real or


    not. There were many famous doctors living in the mansion of the seventh Prince for many years.


    When he was a child, his body was indeed damaged by someone. But no one could tell the current


    condition of his body. The emperor wanted the seventh prince to have a strong support in the court


    when he appointed Liu Yinfeng to serve as his teacher and he gave all the rewards to the Liu n. As


    for Liu Yinfeng, many people in the court knew him because of the emperor''s attitude towards him. If


    the seventh Prince ascends the throne, Liu Yinfeng will definitely assist him. It will be a good way to win


    support from the new emperor if the new emperor rewards him himself. "


    Lady Hua Guo stopped at the gate of the yard and said, "his majesty fancies the crown prince publicly,


    but in fact, many of his majesty''s plots are in secret favorable to the seventh prince."


    Yun Shang nodded her head. She had new appraisal of Lady Hua Guo. When Lord Hua Guo paid his


    first visit to Prince Jing''s mansion, he told him that his wife knew nothing about military tactics or war,


    so they had nothing to talk about. At that time, Yun Shang thought Lady Hua Guo was just a virtuous


    woman who took care of her husband and children in the backyard. To Yun Shang''s surprise, this old


    everything. And she also taught carefully her how to entertain those women and get useful information


    from them.
