2149 Don’t want the Crown Prince position
“Everyone is a suspect, so we have to find out where everyone is.” Gu Xin replied the same way as before, ” when uncle Zhong found His Highness’s body, you and your sister were the first to arrive. Did you smell anything suspicious in the secret chamber? ”
Third master Bai shook his head,”Princess, my little sister is just talking nonsense.” She suspiciously said that there was a strange smell, but the three of us didn’t smell it. Could it be that her nose is good, but us three brothers “noses are bad? Besides, in that situation, who would notice the strange smell? His little sister said this because she wanted to say that there was a problem with second brother. His little sister had always doted on Shijie. When his father suddenly changed his mind, Shijie didn’t say anything, but his little sister couldn’t stand it. She’s a daughter who married out, how can she manage her maternal family’s matters?”
When third master Bai mentioned Princess Bao Zhu, his face was full of anger and disdain.
Gu Xin was already certain that the second and third master Bai’s identities had been swapped. In other words, the person in front of her was the second and third master Bai. He was trying his best to imitate the third master’s personality.
It couldn’t be said that he was trying his best, but the two of them should have played many times over the years, and it could be said that they switched seamlessly.
She heard that even her family members couldn’t tell the difference. If she said it now, these two people would probably deny it no matter what.
There was also another point. Would the two of them one day switch identities and enter each other’s courtyard? if that was the case, this Bai Manor would be too absurd. He just didn’t know if the two madams knew about this.
Gu Xin laughed coldly, ” so what if she’s married? she’s not the daughter of His Royal Highness and Princess Consort anymore? ” Now that Princess Bao Zhu’s father was dead, what was so strange about her suspicion? On the other hand, third master Bai and the rest of you brothers, don’t you have any suspicions at all? The princess Consort said that the relationship between you and your father is very good.”
The third master Bai suppressed his anger, ” “Could it be that if the father and son had a good relationship, the son would have to think that he was murdered when the Father died? Who killed him? What was the motive for killing? For the crown prince’s position? Who did you think wanted the position of Crown Prince? They can’t even go to the capital without an imperial edict. Whoever wants to be the crown can go!”
Gu Xin sized up third master Bai and felt that what he said was quite true.
The third master Bai in front of him was the second son of the Bai family. If Princess Bao Zhu found the murderer, then the position of Crown Prince would belong to the second son of the Bai family. Now that the king of Dong Lin was dead, the second son of the Bai family could directly inherit the throne.
However, it seemed that the person in front of him really didn’t want to. He didn’t retreat to advance or pretend to be the third master of the White clan to say this.
He was using the third master Bai’s personality to express his dissatisfaction.
Could it be that the second son of the Bai family really didn’t want the position of Crown Prince?
If that was the case, then the position of Crown Prince could not be used as a motive for killing.
Gu Xin interrupted her own analysis. Perhaps, the second son of the Bai family did this on purpose? The second son of the Bai family was obviously smarter than the third son of the Bai family. He found the account book as soon as he entered the door, but he only took a glance at it and did not look at it at all after that. He might have already known that he knew that they had exchanged identities, so he deliberately said this to confuse his thoughts and make the case more complicated.
After all, this person was able to pretend to be another person all year round. His acting skills were much better than the third son of the Bai family who had just appeared.
