Chapter 61 "It's Raining"

Feng Xiran was speechless. What did one thing have to do with another? Xing Zhu was not her subordinate; she managed people, but did that mean she also had to oversee him? However, by relationship, she was technically Jing Sa's direct superior.

"Enough, what's with the strict management!" Ling Xin scolded Xue Chenxi and stepped in to defuse the situation.

Xing Zhu was the prime suspect due to the unclear last words of the deceased male servant.

Ling Xin directly instructed that Xing Zhu be taken away for questioning and that the deceased servant's room be thoroughly searched.

"Fortunately, the blueprints were not sent out and are intact."

Xue Chenxi couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"This deceased servant was under your command. Don't you have any explanation?"

"What do you mean, Feng Xiran?" Xue Chenxi's anger flared up again upon hearing this. The anger she had managed to suppress was rekindled.

However, since the deceased was Xue Chenxi's subordinate, she did indeed have some suspicion.

Xue Chenxi bitterly explained to herself, swearing it was not her doing. Her anger was burning, and she glared fiercely at the other male servants.

Heaven, she had never been this frustrated in her life—except for the times she had stumbled with Feng Xiran, of course.

This was clearly not her fault. Since coming here, she had been constantly ordered around by Feng Xiran, exhausted to the point where she had no strength left to even write letters to the capital.

It was bad enough that these useless people hadn't helped her at the city lord's mansion, but now they were framing her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Someone, tell me quickly what happened with this deceased servant? What did he say or do? Who did he associate with?"

Xue Chenxi roared, grabbing the male servant who was trembling on the ground and shaking him violently. She demanded they confess quickly to avoid physical torture, as being falsely accused was incredibly frustrating.

Ye Chuan, after letting her vent, put on a warm smile and suggested that Feng Xiran should check if anything was missing, reassuring her that the city lord would get to the bottom of it.

Feng Xiran saw his forced smile but chose not to call him out on it.

The incident happened in the back courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and the male servant's behavior had further challenged Lord Ye Chuan's authority.

"Bring these people lying on the ground away. This lord will conduct a thorough interrogation."

His simple statement was laced with a harsh tone, and after speaking, he turned away with a faint smile.

Ling Xin, seeing him take the people away, patted Feng Xiran on the shoulder, telling her to stay calm and wait patiently. Her uncle would surely uncover the truth.

Amidst this commotion, Mo Yan carefully examined Feng Xiran's belongings. He also considered whether to sprinkle poison powder on important items in the future to prevent others from tampering with them.

Lord Siyi was led to his own room by the city lord's servants, which happened to be next to Jing Sa's.

During dinner, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

Ye Chuan and Jing Sa did not appear, and Lord Siyi, who preferred peace and quiet, was content. Mu Xin, feeling down after visiting her parents' grave, also stayed in. Feng Xiran, irritated with Xue Chenxi, ate a few bites and then returned to her room. Only Yao Xiang still had a good appetite and had several more bowls of rice.
