OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

Feng Fuce chuckled lightly at that. "In a bit I’m going to question people around Lv Xinniang’s place. Are you coming with me?"

As he finished speaking, he reached his hand out to Bai Zhi’er.

"Sure." She agreed in one breath.

Anyway, everything she needed to do was already done.

Just as Bai Zhi’er was about to place her hand in Feng Fuce’s palm, Bai Yaoyu gently pushed apart the two hands that were about to touch.

"Marquis Wan, what are you doing? I’m still standing right here, and you dare take advantage of my little sister?" Bai Yaoyu frowned.

He shielded Bai Zhi’er in front of him, like a sharp-eyed eagle.

Feng Fuce said coolly, "I’m inviting the Princess to investigate the case with me. Does the Princely Heir also wish to instruct me?"

Bai Zhi’er shrank behind him, exchanged a glance with Fang Youzhen, and couldn’t help letting out a quiet snort of laughter.

Bai Yaoyu folded his arms. "The case is your business. How could my sister be allowed to witness such bloody matters?"

"Zhi’er, let’s go. Third Brother will take you to ride horses. You can see for yourself whether I or Youzhen rides better."

Bai Zhi’er shook her head. "Next time. I plan to go investigate this murder together with Brother Fu Ce."

Bai Yaoyu’s eyes widened. "What? Don’t! A death is such bad luck. Besides, it’s not some earth-shattering case, so why should my sister get personally involved?"

Bai Zhi’er lifted her chin, her eyes shimmering. "Of course I have to see to it myself. After all, I’m the one who found out about it."

"What’s more, Run He is implicated. Third Brother likes listening to her storytelling so much, I really ought to hurry and help investigate, clear her name, and get her released."

Bai Yaoyu gave a little cough and snuck a glance at Fang Youzhen.

"Sister, don’t tease me. It’s not that I like her storytelling, it’s that she speaks so confidently, as if she understands and handles feelings very well. I wanted to ask her for some advice."

"I already explained it to Youzhen just now. I’m not the type who chases pleasure."

Fang Youzhen curled her lip.

Bai Yaoyu caught it at once.

"You don’t believe me, do you? Fine, I’ll prove it to you. When Marquis Wan goes to investigate, I’ll go along as well."

"Running horses all day is getting dull anyway. I might as well accompany my sister and help crack the case."

Fang Youzhen responded, "All right then, I’ll come and see how the mighty Princely Heir plans to investigate a case."

Bai Zhi’er smiled with narrowed eyes and looked at Feng Fuce. "Brother Fu Ce, let’s set out now!"

Feng Fuce’s cold gaze swept over Fang Youzhen and Bai Yaoyu.

He’d originally wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Bai Zhi’er; who would have thought the two of them would tag along.

Since things had come to this, Feng Fuce could only press his lips together and say, "I’ll test you first."

"If this case were handed completely over to you, where would you start your investigation?"

Bai Zhi’er parted her lips, about to answer.

But Feng Fuce raised his hand. "Ask them."

Fang Youzhen and Bai Yaoyu both furrowed their brows, adopting thoughtful expressions.

Bai Yaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Start with Run He. She saw Lv Xinniang on the night she died and even argued with her."

Fang Youzhen lifted her hand and lightly tapped his forehead.

"Idiot!" she said. "Run He’s already been interrogated. We should be looking for another breakthrough."

"Since Lv Xinniang was found in the river, why don’t we go ask around the crime scene and see if any commoners saw anyone suspicious?"

Feng Fuce gave a slight nod. "You’re not wrong, but it’s not very useful."
