Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 213: Someone Will Help Us!

Long Yue had a serious expression, speaking so convincingly as if it were true. The head of the Inspection Department, hearing her words, judged it wouldn’t be Mr. Lin and others, and thus instructed his men to proceed with routine checks on those present.

Long Yue stood quietly aside, but her gaze floated as she scanned the area. Suddenly, she noticed a man’s hand hidden in his sleeve slightly trembling.

This was picking at fingernails!

"It’s him, capture him!"

Long Yue shouted loudly, and the Inspection Department personnel, noticing the inconspicuous man, immediately lunged at him.

The man looked terrified, hurriedly rushing out to jump through the window and escape.

The Inspection Department already had personnel deployed outside, so he couldn’t escape. Within moments, they apprehended him.

"Take him away, escort him to the Ministry of Justice prison, let Mr. Chen interrogate him well... damn it!"

The head of the Inspection Department just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood; the rogue had actually poisoned himself!

He stomped in rage. After finally catching the murderer, the guy just died like that?

"This should be a death soldier; he either succeeds or sacrifices himself. He thought that if caught by you, he would be severely tortured, so he chose to end himself here."

Long Yue remarked indifferently.

The head of the Inspection Department scratched his head in frustration. They caught the murderer, but the man was dead. Could they just present the corpse to Mr. Chen?

He would skin him alive!

He looked at Long Yue.

Long Yue’s gaze turned cold, her voice chilling, "What, sir, do you plan to forcibly frame me to settle the matter?"

Under everyone’s watch, intending to turn black into white?

The head of the Inspection Department wasn’t so foolish, and this woman... why did she look familiar?

"Humph, what if you were his accomplice?"

A cold and malicious voice suddenly rang out, Long Yue narrowed her eyes, seeing the newcomer.

It was Chang Yao!

Junior Minister Chen Fang’en of the Ministry of Justice was one of the Third Prince’s people, and so was Chang Yao. Hearing that Chen Fang’en’s only son was involved, Chang Yao immediately rushed over.

To his surprise, he saw Long Yue here.

His mind quickly turned over, realizing this was a great opportunity to deal with her.

"Pang Longyue, you disguise as a man, come to this place of debauchery. Who would believe you have no issues, hmm?"

Chang Yao’s eyes were full of schadenfreude, feeling that Long Yue couldn’t wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Young Master Chang might be mistaken, Miss Long Yue is here to visit me! She’s always liked my dance music, and came to support me this time."

At the critical moment, An Xiang stepped forward gracefully, bowing in courtesy.

With someone to vouch, the issue was mostly resolved, but Chang Yao was determined to trouble Long Yue, biting hard and not letting go.

"You know her?"

Chang Yao’s gaze was cold, seemingly warning An Xiang not to wade into this muddy water.

But An Xiang belonged to Qi Junlian. Since Long Yue and Li Qingmu were assisting Qi Junlian, she naturally couldn’t stand by idly.

"Not much acquaintance. That day Miss Long Yue came to find me, expressing admiration for my dance music, wanting to see it. After my dance, she said my dress was too plain to complement my movements, so she gifted me this dress."

"Indeed, a friend of mine rented my grandfather’s shop, opening an embroidery shop, wanting to use this Oiran election opportunity to promote embroidered dresses, that’s all. Of course, Young Master Chang, if you don’t believe, by all means investigate."

These things will be known sooner or later, Long Yue didn’t intend to hide. She was even thinking about how to promote it; now was the opportunity.

Chang Yao’s face turned sour again.

This woman was planning something like this?

So he emerged on her behalf, promoting her friend’s shop?

The crucial point is, that shop must be related to her! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Officials can’t engage in trade, but can’t stop their relatives or friends from doing so. Many officials secretly sponsor friends or relatives to do business, they shelter them and share the profits.

This woman indeed has some means. Just arriving in the Capital City, she’s already pondering these matters.

"Humph, even so, you’re still suspicious!"

Chang Yao was determined to play rogue.

Long Yue giggled lightly, "So can I claim that you’re deliberately framing me? After all, who would think of assaulting one’s own to malign others?"

"You..."

Chang Yao found himself actually outmatched by her; this woman’s shamelessness was beyond his imagination.

"Alright, Young Master Chang. Your grudges with me are personal, but don’t bring them here. By your logic, everyone here is suspicious, right? Inspector Leader, shouldn’t you check that Tianxiang Pavilion woman who sent the desserts earlier? She might provide some new clues?"

The Inspector Leader waved his hand and sent someone to get her, but shortly after, the person hurried back: "Sir, it’s bad news, the girl has disappeared!"

"Damn it! Investigate, search the entire city! We must capture the perpetrator!"

The Inspector Leader issued an order, then turned and apologized, "Earlier, I didn’t know who the lady was, now I realize it’s Lady Jiao, apologies, many apologies, sorry for the offense!"

Once Chang Yao mentioned Long Yue’s name, he understood.

Pang Longyue, once the Capital’s top beauty, later involved with others and driven out by her father, married to a poor boy from the countryside.

The matter was widely known, making it difficult not to be aware.

Laughably, the poor boy turned to Xinan to earn achievements, came to the Capital, and received praise from the Emperor, even confronting Pang Wenzheng at the grand hall.

Emperor, for reasons unknown, bestowed Long Yue the title of Sixth-rank Imperial Decree Lady.

Alright, the more people get entangled in this case, the more difficult it becomes. Such a major case should be transferred to the Capital Governor.

The Inspector Leader was wise enough to sense the different currents, realizing this was mutual rivalry among various court factions, and he shouldn’t be involved, lest he becomes cannon fodder and perishes.

He hurriedly took his people to catch them, while Lin Xu, indirectly causing Chen Du’s death, also had to be taken away.

"Save me, save me! Chengye, go find dad, get him to save me!"

Lin Xu cried out, very shrill, now deeply regretting kicking him for no reason.

But regret was too late!

Lin Xu was taken away.

Tianxiang Pavilion had to close and reorganize due to the murder case.

Before leaving, Chang Yao gave Long Yue a cold glance.

"Just wait, tomorrow the impeachment letters against your husband will flood the court like a tide, your good days are over!"

After saying, Chang Yao couldn’t bother to look at Long Yue again, and strode off.

"Mrs. Li, are you... alright? Would you need me to contact someone to help you?"

During the chaos, An Xiang ran to Long Yue’s side to whisper.

"No need!" Long Yue shook her head, a profound look in her eyes, "Someone will help us!"
