Manslaughter

  "Ah, I know." The voice in his mind comforted him.

  "But... but... she..." Qian Yu Xian covered her mouth with both hands and closed her eyes, trying not to cry.

  "Don't cry, crying won't solve anything. We need to explain things, otherwise even if you didn't die, you'll become a murderer and be sentenced to death. That would still fulfill Concubine Zhu's wish." Another one said.

  "Uh-huh, I won't cry, I won't cry. Let's think of a way to explain this together. We can't let that cheap woman, Zhu Ce Fei, get her way." Qian Yu Xian nodded and stood up, biting her lip.

  "...soul..." Another voice suddenly became smaller.

  "Huh?" Qianyu Xian was puzzled.

  "There is someone behind you..." another one said.

  "What?!" Qian Yu Xian couldn't believe it, her eyes wide with shock as she turned around to look behind her.

  He was a man with an innate elegant and noble temperament.

  A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, ink-colored pupils can penetrate your thoughts unknowingly.

  His thin lips were slightly upturned, his fine long hair covered his smooth forehead, and fell to his dense and slender eyelashes. On his head was a white hairpin inlaid with blue sapphire, and on his forehead was a top-grade snow-white jade.

  A white dress underneath is the delicate skin that no one can compare to. In the afternoon sunlight, there is not a hint of redness, and her clear and pale face always exudes a noble and elegant temperament, matching her tall and slender figure.

  The man stands with his back against the artificial hill behind him, giving people a sense of being difficult to approach.

  Qian Yu Xian frowned, feeling that this person was unpleasant to be around and also very dangerous.

  "Who are you?" Senya Chihiro frowned at the man who suddenly appeared, a chill running through her eyes.

  The black eyes of the man clearly reflected the current appearance of Qian Yu Xian, with a hairpin falling down and three thousand strands of hair flowing down like a waterfall to his waist. His white clothes were soaked through, tightly clinging to Qian Yu Xian's body, revealing his figure.

  The man looked at Qianyu Xian and said faintly, "I saw you push that maid into the pond."

  Her voice is as elegant and pure as a piano, like a clear spring entering the mouth, refreshing and penetrating deeply, but the content makes thousands of immortals unhappy.

  Irrelevant answer!

  "You see someone drowning, why don't you save him?" Qian Yu Xian glared at the elegant and noble-looking man with wide eyes, saying angrily.

  "Why should I save her? You didn't save me when I was drowning, did you? Besides, she was pushed in by you, why should I be the one to save her?" The man said slowly.

  "You!" Qian Yu Xian was about to shout in anger, but the words he was about to say changed tone immediately, and he looked at the man in disbelief.

  "You've been here from the very beginning?"

  The man's smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more elegant, his beautiful peony eyes looked at Qianyu Xian, and he said in a light and even tone.

  "Hmm. I witnessed the whole process, including the most exciting part where you pushed that maid into the pond."

  Qian Yu Xian bit her lip and lowered her head with clenched fists.

  I was at a loss for words already, and now there's an eyewitness, what can I do?

  Suddenly, Qianyu Xian's mind turned and he looked up at the man with rose-like red lips and a hint of a smile, opening his mouth to shout loudly.

  "Someone's been murdered! Someone's been murdered!"

  The man looked at Qianyu Xian with an unchanged expression, his ink-colored eyes seeming to see through everything, and said in a voice that was neither fast nor slow.

  "If you want to say that I'm the one who killed her, then how do you explain why your clothes are wet? I can say that you got wet from fighting with the maid in the water, and the maid couldn't beat you, ultimately drowning in the water."

  Qian Yu Xian stopped shouting and looked at the man with a smile on his face. He raised his right hand and shook his index finger back and forth, saying:

  "I can also say that I saw you push Huan'er into the pond, and with a heroic spirit, jumped into the pond to try to save her, but unfortunately, it was one step too late, and Huan'er still died."

  After finishing speaking, Qianyu Xian heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from a short distance away and added another sentence.

  "You're the murderer."

  The man's dark eyes showed a hint of a smile, his thin lips slightly curved, and in his heart he couldn't help but think that his previous thought of watching the show was correct.

  "But do you think others will believe what you say?"

  As soon as he said this, Qianyuxian's expression changed, and she understood the meaning hidden in his words.

  Does he mean to say that others will believe a fool's words?

  The man indeed had a hidden talent, he had known her identity long ago.

  "A fool's words are the most real, because a fool won't tell lies."

  Qian Yu Xian said faintly, with a smile on his face that was even more gentle and soothing.

  The sound of chaotic footsteps is getting closer and closer.

  Qian Yu Xian had already decided to make that man her scapegoat.
