Chapter 2149: Not Wanting the Position of Crown Prince
"Everyone is a suspect, so everyone's whereabouts must be investigated." Gu Xin answered as before, and then asked, "When Zhong Bo found the prince's body, you brothers and sisters were the first to arrive. Did you smell a suspicious smell in the secret room?"
Mr. Bai shook his head: "Princess, my little sister is talking nonsense. She was suspicious and said there was a strange smell, but none of us three brothers smelled it. Could it be that her nose is good and our noses are bad? Besides, who would pay attention to the strange smell in that situation? My little sister said this just to say that there was something wrong with my second brother. My little sister has always loved Shijie very much. My father suddenly changed his mind. Shijie didn't say anything, but my little sister couldn't stand it. As a married woman, how can she manage her mother's family's affairs?"
Mr. Bai was angry and disdainful when he talked about Princess Baozhu.
Gu Xin was sure that Mr. Bai Er and Mr. Bai San had exchanged their identities now, that is, the one in front of him was the second son of the Bai family, and he was trying his best to imitate the temperament of the third son of the Bai family.
It can't be said that they tried their best. They must have switched roles a lot over the years. It can be said that they switched roles seamlessly.
I heard that the people in the family couldn't tell them apart. If she said it rashly now, the two would probably never admit it.
Another point is that the two would exchange identities and enter each other's courtyards one day. This would be too absurd for the Bai Mansion. I just don't know if the two ladies know it.
Gu Xin sneered: "So what if she got married? She is no longer the daughter of the prince and princess after getting married? Now that Princess Baozhu's biological father is dead, what's strange about her doubts? But you brothers, Mr. Bai San, don't you have any doubts at all? The princess said that the relationship between you and your son is very good."
Mr. Bai San suppressed his anger: "Does the father and son have a good relationship? If the father dies, the son must think that he was murdered? Who killed him? What is the motive for the murder? For the position of the prince? Who thinks this position of the prince is worth it? Staying in Taizhou Prefecture for a lifetime, you can't even go to the capital without an imperial decree. Whoever wants to be the prince can be the prince!"
Gu Xin looked at Mr. Bai San and felt that what he said at this moment was quite true.
The Bai Sanye in front of him is the second son of the Bai family. If Princess Baozhu finds the murderer, the position of the prince will belong to the second son of the Bai family. If King Donglin dies, he, the second son of the Bai family, can directly inherit the throne of King Donglin.
But it seems that the person in front of him really doesn't want to, and he is not the one who retreats to advance, or pretends to speak like Bai Sanye.
Instead, he seems to be using Bai Sanye's unscrupulous character to express his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Could it be that the second son of the Bai family really doesn't want the position of the prince?
If so, the position of the prince cannot be determined as a motive for murder.
Gu Xin interrupted her analysis. Maybe, this was done intentionally by the second son of the Bai family? The second son of the Bai family is 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 didn't look at it at all. He may have known that I knew about their identity exchange, so he said this deliberately to confuse his thoughts and make the case more complicated.
After all, this person is able to pretend to be another person all year round, and his acting skills are much better than the third son of the Bai family who just appeared.
