My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1457: Coming Clean Directly

"Wuyou doesn’t mean it this way, Prime Minister, think carefully. The murderer used a long sword, which indicates that this wasn’t done by someone from the village. Recently, Madam Yan has been in poor health and rarely goes out. I believe the Prime Minister also didn’t notify her in advance before meeting her. Therefore, the only ones who could know about the meeting and take such a decisive action must be someone close to the Prime Minister..."

After hearing Sikong Wuyou’s words, An Bingfeng also fell into deep thought.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Sikong Wuyou’s conjecture was indeed quite reasonable.

Ordinary villagers, once they have enough to eat and wear, consider themselves wealthy, so it’s unlikely they would possess a weapon like a long sword.

And since the meeting with Madam Yan was arranged on a whim, only those around him could have gotten the news in time and acted decisively immediately after he left. If it wasn’t a fortunate coincidence, it would have been quite difficult to execute.

Seeing An Bingfeng silent, Sikong Wuyou spoke again, "Actually, at first, I also suspected that this matter was the act of the Prime Minister. Later, I dismissed this notion."

At these words, An Bingfeng couldn’t help but look up, surprised, at Sikong Wuyou.

There was indeed some acquaintance between him and Sikong Mo, but Sikong Wuyou, being a junior, was reclusive in the capital city and was rarely seen.

At such a time, for him to change from suspicion to dismissing the thought was truly rare.

"Then, may I ask, what made Mr. Wuyou change his mind, and dismiss this notion?" An Bingfeng inquired.

Sikong Wuyou said, "It was An Ning’s words. The things I mentioned earlier were all analyzed by An Ning and relayed to me."

An Bingfeng was even more astonished.

Could it be... that girl?

For a girl who grew up in the countryside to think of these things is indeed not easy.

It seems she has inherited quite a bit of intelligence from him.

Moreover, An Yu and An Ning are twin siblings. With An Yu being so outstanding, how could An Ning be overly foolish?

What’s more, although he hasn’t met An Ning often, An Bingfeng never considered her stupid. She also has quite a bit of wit and is very assertive.

"Did Mr. Wuyou come personally because you have a suspect in mind?"

An Bingfeng was no fool. As shrewd as he was, he easily guessed the purpose of Sikong Wuyou’s visit.

Sikong Wuyou chuckled lightly, "A Prime Minister of such high standing for many years, you’ve guessed my purpose in one go."

An Bingfeng had lost the interest to continue the small talk and directly said, "No need to flatter me, Mr. Wuyou. Just get straight to the point."

The few people he brought with him are those around him, assured of their loyalty over many years.

An Bingfeng also wanted to quickly uncover the murderer who intended to kill Madam Yan, but he wouldn’t allow anyone to falsely accuse those close to him.

In the end, Sikong Wuyou only mentioned Li Mengjun’s name and her long-hidden affection for An Bingfeng, without any intention of taking anyone away.

And his departure was as serene and calm as the wind and clouds.

As he was about to leave, An Bingfeng asked, "I’ve heard that An Ning is now with Mr. Wuyou. She is, after all, a girl, and not as free-spirited as Mr. Wuyou. Reputation is very important to a girl, so I hope Mr. Wuyou could return her soon, not to ruin a girl’s life!"

Although An Bingfeng phrased it as hearsay, he wouldn’t have said this today if he weren’t certain.
