292 Very observant

Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Yu Lingyun with a small turn of her neck, she raised a brow and then said, ” General Yu, you are wise enough to sweet talk your way with my maid but you cannot understand something so easy?”

She has not forgotten how this man tried to fool his little Ai, did he think that she was not going to clean him up? It was just that she has never gotten the time to deal with him and since they hardly met with each other it was near to impossible for her to clean this man up —— now that she has gotten her chance how can she let go without giving him a tongue lashing?

Yu Lingyun did not expect her to reply like that, he choked on air and coughed harshly. It happened so long ago and this woman still remembers it? She was really petty! Not even letting skipping something so small!

” Your majesty, that was in the past… I will apologize to Xiao Ai, I will apologize to her with gifts and meat, ” Yu Lingyun wanted to say that it was a small thing and that he only did it because they were doubtful of her and nothing else and she should stop harping on it since no one was hurt and everyone was fine.

But the glare that Liu Hui Ying sent his way was enough to tell him that it was not a small matter to her, if he did not apologise to Xiao Ai, she will chase him down to the underworld. He couldn’t see Liu Fei Fei but when Liu Hui Ying handed the flower to the consort, he could see that this woman was like a ticket to heaven, if he was to make her upset who knows she might send him to the eighteenth level of hell? 𝐟𝙧ℯe𝙬𝚎𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵel. 𝐜o𝓶

If she could send a soul to get a faster reincarnation, does it not mean that she can make it so that the soul never gets reincarnated?

After witnessing such a scene in front of his eyes, there was no way Yu Lingyun was going to ever go against Liu Hui Ying, he was a general and no one knew when he might die on the battlefield, there was no reason for him to offend a big shot like Liu Hui Ying.

Liu Hui Ying hardly looked pacified but she hummed and turned her head around, “It’s good that you understand keep apologizing to little Ai until she forgives you, if you don’t do it then I will make it so that you never get a wink of sleep.” Now that she knew that Yu Lingyun was scared of ghosts, it was going to be really easy for her to take care of him.

Yu Lingyun felt all the blood drain from his face, he wanted to tell Liu Hui Ying to be kinder to him but he could not say anything —— he could only swallow his words back and glare at the man who was responsible for this debt that he has to settle now.

.....

Zhai Tianyu who was being glared at acted as if he could not see Yu Lingyun’s glare, in fact, he understood better than Yu Lingyun that he was still on the red list of the Queen. She treated him more like an acquaintance but that was only because she had no other choice but to treat him well because she wanted to survive in this place.

He was not narcissistic enough to believe that Liu Hui Ying did not bring up their past feuds because she fell for his face or power, he understood her well enough to know that to her, he was like a passerby whom she doesn’t have to care about. She was here for a short time and had another body in another world where she wanted to return, thus she did not care about him or anyone else for that matter.

Just now she deliberately picked on Yu Lingyun because Xiao Ai will stay behind and she was worried that Yu Lingyun will bully her if she was to leave.

Zhai Tianyu did not know what to say, she treated her maid much better than him!

” As for your question,” Liu Hui Ying went on not caring about what Zhai Tianyu was thinking in his head. “It’s because of the letter that we found in the maid’s quarter.”

Yu Lingyun frowned, he still did not understand —- was there something that he missed?

In fact what he missed was indeed rather big, as Liu Hui Ying explained it turned out that they all missed one thing that they should have noticed at the very beginning and that was —— the quality of the ink and the handwriting of the maid!

Even though the maid was a bit literate, there was no way that she could have written such a letter without making any grammatical mistakes, Ji Meng copied the writing of the maid but he forgot to copy her habits, something that Liu Hui Ying noticed. More importantly, even if the man was good at copying he was not as good and perfect as the professional imitators, he made a mistake while writing the word ‘ I’, Liu Hui Ying has been keeping an eye on the letters that she found earlier when consort Su and consort Liu died.

However, the two letters were carefully written and she could not find any mistakes in them. It was only when she found the maid’s suicide letter that was she able to find a mistake. Ji Meng was a scholar and he could not imitate the maid’s writing perfectly and made a mistake.

And, she was easily able to take notice of the forceful way ‘I’ was written in the letter. She had a very good memory and she knew that she has seen the same ‘I’ written in the report that Ji Meng sent her earlier regarding princess Zhai Chenguang’s death and so, she was able to solve the case.

In fact, even if they did not notice the characters, they could have solved the case by keeping track of the quality of the ink. The ink that was used to write the letter by the maid was of high quality and could only be used by the members of the imperial palace or the officials. The reason she narrowed down the suspects to Ji Meng was that she smelled the same scent of ink and water lilies in the maid’s letter as she did in the report.

Because Liu Fei Fei and consort Su used scented pouches and incense the scent was gone from their letter but it remained in the letter left in the maid’s quarter.

” All in all no matter how great a criminal is, he will make a mistake, by slipping up at least once” Liu Hui Ying finished her explanation while the three men were left dumbstruck.
