Tonight's birthday party was really exciting. An assassin assassinated the prince in public, and then a maid hurriedly came to report that the eldest daughter of the prince's family had hanged herself. Such shocking news made all the guests look at each other.
Everyone whispered in private: "Miss? Is she the one who is engaged to the eldest son of the Lin family?" "She seems to be Mrs. Yun's daughter. She doesn't go out very often. I've never seen her before!"
"I heard that the eldest lady is indifferent to worldly affairs and has an indifferent personality. How could she suddenly commit suicide?"
"Could it be that the story of Young Master Lin going to Tianxiang House to redeem Miss Ye's life reached the ears of the eldest lady, and she couldn't bear the humiliation, so she committed suicide?" "It's possible. My fiancé visits the brothel every day, and he also wants to do it for Tianxiang.
The girl in the building redeemed herself. How could she, a young lady from the royal family, endure such humiliation? She committed suicide because she couldn't think about it. What a sin..."
Xiao Lou couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard these comments in the crowd.
He went for a walk in the backyard in the afternoon, and at a quick glance, he remembered that the eldest lady Qi Yiyao was a woman who was indifferent to fame and wealth. She was knocking on wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures. She looked calm and seemed indifferent to everything in the outside world.
Would she hang herself because of the scandal of her fiancé molesting a brothel girl? This is impossible.
There must be other reasons.
Xiao Lou looked at the prince. At this time, the prince's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. First, he was disturbed by an assassin, and then he heard the bad news that his daughter had hanged herself. On this birthday, the prince was naturally very depressed. He stared at the maid.
, shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The maid turned pale with fright and said with trembling lips: "Slave, I saw with my own eyes that the eldest lady was hanging on the tree in the backyard..."
When the prince realized that something had really happened to his daughter, he immediately took a deep breath, tried his best to stay calm, looked at the guest seats, and said calmly: "Everyone, I have some family matters that need to be dealt with. Today's dinner will end here. The reception was not good.
Please forgive me for this."
Everyone bowed and said goodbye, and each one ran faster than a rabbit. Although everyone was curious about why the eldest lady committed suicide, they couldn't openly watch the prince's family jokes. If the prince got angry, ten heads would not be enough to cut off.
Of course, Shao Qingge, a son of a rich family, had no reason to stay in the palace and continue to watch the fun. He gave Yu Hanjian an "I'll leave first" look and turned to leave. When Xiao Lou passed by him, he said softly: "You go
The magistrate will pay a visit to Ye Qi in prison, and ask Ye Qi if he has discovered anything in Tianxiang Tower in the past two days."
Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Don't worry, little Ye Zi has never been in jail. I'll go give him something to eat to calm his shock."
Hearing Shao Qingge's gloating tone, Xiao Lou had no choice but to ignore him for the time being and continue to pay attention to the scene.
All the guests left quickly.
But Yu Hanjiang and his party, as well as Ninth Princess and Qu Wanyue, stayed where they were.
Yu Hanjiang took a step forward and whispered to the prince: "Your Majesty, since a murder occurred in Jiangzhou, Weichen, as the prefect of Jiangzhou, has the responsibility to investigate the whole matter. The cause of the eldest lady's death may not be simple. Can Weichen be tolerated?
Will you go and see the scene?"
The Eighth Prince thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Yu."
Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, and Mo Xuemin followed the prince to the backyard, and the ninth princess and Qu Wanyue also followed.
The prince turned his head and saw these two people, and couldn't help but said coldly: "You guys are waiting for me, why don't you retreat?"
The Ninth Princess hurriedly explained: "Brother, it's me! Something happened to Ayao, and I want to go see it too!"
The prince recognized the ninth princess who was disguised as a man, and frowned slightly: "My dear princess, if you don't stay well in Kyoto, how can you behave like this and run around like this?"
The Ninth Princess said with a bitter face: "We will talk about this later. I had no choice but to slip out. How could Ayao commit suicide? I even sent her a letter some time ago. I want to go and see!"
The prince had no choice but to take her with him.
The maid led the way, and everyone hurriedly followed her to the backyard.
There are four small courtyards in the backyard of the palace. The layout of the entire courtyard is square and square, connected by a "back"-shaped corridor. The corridor is lined with green trees. There is an artificial pond and a rockery in the middle of the courtyard.
The backyard of the palace is very large. It was late at night and the trees in the courtyard were dense. Even if someone was hiding somewhere, it would be difficult to attract attention.
The place where the eldest lady hanged herself was on a tree behind the rockery.
That tree is the tallest and thickest tree in the whole yard. It has lush branches and leaves and can cast a large green shade on the ground. It is a good place to enjoy the shade in summer. Therefore, stone benches and tables are placed under the tree. In your free time,
The royal family members can sit here and drink tea and chat.
At this time, a woman dressed entirely in white was hanging from a tree, her limbs hanging down softly, and her body was swaying gently in the wind.
This scene made everyone present change their expressions.
Mrs. Yun immediately rushed over in a state of collapse, hugged her daughter's legs, and shouted: "Ayao, my Ayao! Why can't you think about it so hard! What can't you say to your mother? Why bother to commit suicide! You
If you just leave like this, what will your mother do..."
Her heartbreaking cries made the prince's face look even more ugly.
Although the prince did not have deep feelings for this eldest daughter, she was his own flesh and blood after all. Seeing her hanging on the tree in white clothes, as a father, the prince was heartbroken. He took a step forward and gently hugged Mrs. Yun's shoulders.
, whispered: "Stop crying, why did A Yao commit suicide?"
Mrs. Yun wiped her tears and said: "I asked her to change clothes in the afternoon and told her that Young Master Lin would definitely come tonight and asked her to dress up a little instead of wearing white clothes to meet her fiancé. That would be unlucky... She also
Didn’t say anything!”
The prince frowned: "Did you tell Yiyao about Lin Shaobo's scandal in the brothel?"
Mrs. Yun stammered for a moment, and finally nodded with tears in her eyes: "I, I accidentally let it slip." Her face instantly turned extremely pale: "Ayao couldn't think better of it, so she took advantage of it.
See you there?!"
The prince's face looked horribly gloomy.
Next to them, Mrs. Qing and Mrs. Han didn't know whether they were really sad or fake. They also took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their tears while sighing: "Why is Ayao so confused..." "That's right, how can you be so confused at such a young age?"
!" The two of them cried and came forward to comfort Mrs. Yun: "Sister, don't be too sad." "My condolences, be careful not to hurt yourself."
The three ladies cried together, while the ninth princess stood there with a blank look on her face, murmuring in confusion: "How could Ayao commit suicide? She even wrote to me some time ago, saying that the wedding date is scheduled for next month."
The prince sighed softly and said, "Go and carry down the body of the eldest lady and bury it someday."
The two maids immediately stepped forward, worked together to lift the eldest lady hanging from the tree, and laid her flat on the ground.
Xiao Lou quickly glanced at the marks on the body and gave Yu Hanjiang a wink.
Just as the maids were about to cover the corpse's face with white cloth, Yu Hanjiang suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute."
The prince looked back at him: "Master Yu?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Your Majesty, my wife once learned the art of autopsy from a widower. Can he take a closer look at the eldest lady's body? Wei Chen suspects that the eldest lady may not have committed suicide."
The prince was startled and looked at Xiao Lou with a frown: "Madam, can you really do an autopsy?"
Xiao Lou took a step forward and saluted politely: "Going back to your lord, the daughter of the common people has indeed studied with a widower for several years."
The prince nodded and asked him to take a look.
Xiao Lou took a step forward and was about to observe the body when Mrs. Yun suddenly rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly. She cried and said: "Don't touch her! My Ayao died so miserably. She didn't live a good life for a few days before she died.
I can’t be bullied by you like this again!”
Mrs. Yun was obviously stimulated by her daughter's sudden death and she lost her mind.
Xiao Lou said warmly: "Madam, please calm down. The eldest lady may not have committed suicide. Don't you want to find out the real cause of your daughter's death?"
Mrs. Yun was stunned and pointed to the bright red marks on her daughter's neck: "Didn't my daughter hang herself? She hung herself from a tree. The red marks on her neck from being strangled are so obvious. How do you want to do an autopsy?"
Xiao Lou said softly: "Hanging yourself will indeed leave strangulation marks on the neck. But if she is hanged from a tree after being murdered, it will also leave strangulation marks on the neck, right?"
Mrs. Yun suddenly became excited.
Because what this person said is right - what if he was hanged from a tree after being killed?
She immediately stepped aside, looked at Xiao Lou and said, "Master Yu, right? Come on, help my daughter take a look!"
The Ninth Princess and Qu Wanyue were also watching. Seeing Xiao Lou walking over calmly and leaning over to check the condition of the body, the Ninth Princess couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Mrs. Yu can actually do an autopsy? No wonder Master Yu is unwilling.
Marry this princess, it turns out that he is so heavy-tongued and likes women who can do autopsies."
Qu Wanyue: "..."
The Ninth Princess's thoughts were so clear that Qu Wanyue didn't know how to answer, so she pretended not to hear.
With everyone watching, Xiao Lou carefully examined the corpse's pupils, skin, and nails, and turned the corpse's head, focusing on the red marks on the neck.
Everyone doesn’t understand autopsy, and they don’t know what Xiao Lou was looking at when he turned the body over and over...
Just when the prince was about to become impatient, Xiao Lou suddenly stood up, looked at Yu Hanjiang, and whispered: "It's not suicide."
But others didn't believe it. After all, Mrs. Yu suddenly said she knew how to do autopsies. How many women in ancient times knew how to do autopsies?
The prince's face looked ugly: "Madam, you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have?"
Xiao Lou explained seriously: "The traces left on the body will be different between strangulation of the neck during life and strangulation of the neck after death."
He pointed to the marks on the neck of the deceased and said: "If the eldest lady committed suicide, then she was still alive when she hung herself on the white silk, and the blood inside her body was still circulating. Therefore, the constriction marks formed on the neck
, should be at the bottom, where the mark is the deepest, spreading to both sides, getting lighter as it goes up, until it finally disappears - this is a typical mark left on the neck of a person who hanged himself."
"However, the constriction marks on the eldest lady's neck are horizontal and circular. Except for the darker color where the throat is compressed, the depth of other parts of the constriction groove is very uniform. There is no phenomenon of rising incline, gradually becoming shallower, and finally discontinuing.
The reason for the formation of such marks is that there was no blood circulation in her neck at that time, and the skin was necrotic. The marks left after being strangled by Bai Ling will be the same depth."
Xiao Lou paused and looked at everyone: "The eldest lady was actually already dead when she was hung on the tree - this was murder."
After hearing Xiao Lou's words, everyone present took a deep breath.
The Ninth Princess couldn't help but said: "Can traces alone prove that this is murder? This is too childish!"
Xiao Lou looked at her calmly: "Princess, if you don't believe it, you can experiment with animals. There will be obvious differences between the traces left behind by strangulation of human bodies and corpses."
The Ninth Princess wanted to refute, but Yu Hanjiang whispered: "I trust Madam's judgment."
Ninth Princess: “…………”
Yu Hanjiang took a step forward and said: "The eldest lady did die of murder. The evidence at the scene also shows that she was killed. Your Majesty can take a closer look at the eldest lady's shoes."
He leaned over and picked up a branch, scraped a few leaves from the soles of the deceased's feet, and asked: "Your Majesty, can the eldest lady know Qinggong?"
The prince immediately shook his head: "Yiyao doesn't know martial arts."
Yu Hanjiang said: "That's it. The tree in front of her is so tall. If she doesn't step on the stone table to hang herself, how can she fly up and wrap the white silk around her neck? If she wants to hang herself, she can only step on the stone table, but
There were no traces of her footprints on the table."
Xiao Lou immediately echoed: "In other words, someone killed her first, then picked her up and hung her on a tree, so her footprints were not left on the table."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at everyone and said coldly: "This murderer is very smart, but it is a pity that he forgot to leave the footprints of the deceased on the stone table. Secondly, the murderer does not understand how the living and the dead are buried.
The difference in traces after strangulation left flaws."
The two men sang and followed each other, and everyone looked at each other in amazement.
It was obviously the scene of a "suicide by hanging", but after just a few glances, Mr. Yu and his wife decided it was a murder?
Qu Wanyue was listening next to her and almost wanted to give her a thumbs up.
Even in ancient times, the environment has changed, but they still can't stop these two masters of the Chamber of Hearts. Yu Hanjiang surveyed the scene, Xiao Lou observed the corpse, and the criminal police and forensic doctors worked together to solve the case. They easily came to the inference of murder, and it made a group of people unable to solve the case.
refute.
Although the prince was shocked, he felt that it made sense after listening carefully to the couple's singing.
It seems that the daughter was really murdered.
If it was suicide, the worst possible outcome would be to announce to the outside world that "the family is unfortunate" and the daughter would hang herself from a tree because she couldn't think of anything... But if it was murder, then the matter would be even bigger!
There was someone in the palace who unknowingly killed the eldest lady!
The prince's face suddenly darkened, and he immediately lowered his voice and said: "Since Mr. Yu has concluded that this is murder, this case will be handed over to Mr. Yu. Please catch the real culprit as soon as possible and give Yiyao justice!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best as a subordinate."
The prince paused and then said: "Besides, please don't make any announcement about this matter for the time being."
Yu Hanjiang said: "I understand."
The prince's sharp eyes swept over everyone present and said: "From today onwards, the palace will be sealed off and no one is allowed to go out! In addition, keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to reveal a word to people outside, don't blame me for being unkind!
"
A group of maids and servants immediately knelt on the ground and responded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a clear girlish voice came from the distance: "What happened? It's so lively over there!"
A maid whispered: "Miss Third, please slow down..."
At the corner, a girl wearing a red dress and two braids walked quickly towards this side. The girl had a pair of sword eyebrows, clear and bright eyes, a heroic spirit on her face, and a long sword at her waist.
, looking very heroic.
It is none other than the third lady of the palace: Qi Yiru.
I heard that this third lady loves to wield swords and guns. She is born with a boyish personality. She often rides horses and hurts many people on the street. She is arrogant and domineering, and her reputation among the people is not very good.
Looking at her in person, she does have a rather flamboyant personality, and her eyes are full of arrogance.
However, after seeing her father in the crowd, she immediately averted her eyes and came over to salute: "Father..."
The prince now had a splitting headache and was too lazy to take care of his daughter's ugly outfit. He said in a deep voice: "Something happened to your eldest sister. Go and call your second and fourth sisters over."
It wasn't until she saw the body on the ground that she screamed, "How could this happen!"
The prince said angrily: "Why don't you go call someone?!"
Qi Yiru immediately turned around and ran away.
While the prince was talking to Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou had roughly guessed the time of death through the body spots and the degree of rigor mortis. The results he came up with shocked everyone at the scene: "The time of death of the eldest lady... should be Youshi, or Youshi."
Just an hour ago."
It was about 18 o'clock at Youshi. It was just getting dark at that time and the dinner party at the palace had not yet started.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "It seems that the eldest lady died before the dinner started. At that time, everyone had time to commit the crime. Even the ladies who accompanied the prince after the dinner started could not escape suspicion."
Hearing this, the three ladies' faces instantly became ugly.
Mrs. Qing had a hot temper like her daughter, and said angrily: "Master Yu, what do you mean by this? Am I going to harm a junior again?! I have no enmity with the eldest lady, why should I harm her?"
Mrs. Han was weak and aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I have been brewing medicine in the yard at that time. My body has always been weak. How can I have the strength to pick up the eldest lady and hang it on the tree? Master Yu said so, but I
Any credentials?”
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "Madams, don't be impatient. We are not free from suspicion, and it does not mean that you are the murderers." He looked at the prince and said: "Your Majesty, I need to ask the ladies for some details. I wonder if the prince will allow it?"
The prince nodded solemnly: "This case will be handed over to Mr. Yu for investigation. From today on, you will all cooperate with Mr. Yu's questioning. If something like this happens in the palace, I must find out the truth!"
Yu Hanjiang looked at the nurse beside the prince: "Can I borrow this nurse? I need his help."
The prince said cheerfully: "No problem." He looked at Long Sen and warned: "From today on, you will follow Mr. Yu. If you have any instructions, please just arrange it for me."
Long Sen clasped his fists and said: "I obey!"
If the prince does not cooperate, he, the prefect of Jiangzhou, would not dare to enter the palace rashly. With the prince's support, Yu Hanjiang's investigation will naturally go much smoother.
******
[Chapter 163, War in Troubled Times-13]
In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, the prince specially set aside a side hall to let Yu Hanjiang interrogate the suspect.
Xiao Lou, Mo Xuemin and Long Sen accompanied Yu Hanjiang to the side hall. The four of them first sorted out the currently known clues.
Xiao Lou took the pen and ink and drew a map of the backyard on the paper. Long Sen added the map of the front yard, and the map of the entire palace was completely presented before his eyes.
In the front yard of the palace, there is a grand hall for receiving guests, the prince's study, a separate courtyard for the prince, as well as a male nursing home and residences for the servants. The backyard is full of female relatives.
There are four small courtyards in the backyard. Among them, the largest "Xiushuixuan" is the residence of the real princess. The princess has passed away and now lives her legitimate daughter, the second young lady Qi Yi'an, and several maids who serve her.
"Changqiuyuan" is the residence of Mrs. Yun and the eldest daughter Qi Yiyao. Qi Yiyao also has a brother named Qi Fenghua who is fighting on the front line with the Yan Kingdom and has not been home for three years. Behind Changqiuyuan is the eldest daughter Qi Yiyao.
A small Buddhist temple that has been cleaned up.
"Tingfeng Pavilion" lives with Mrs. Qing and the third lady Qi Yiru. This courtyard has fewer flowers and plants and more open space. Because the third lady loves to practice martial arts and dances with knives and guns in the yard every day, the flowers and plants she grows are easy for her to kill. Mrs. Qing
Just plant trees instead of flowers.
"Red Plum Garden" lived in Mrs. Han and the fourth lady Qi Yiwei. It is said that Mrs. Han loved plum blossoms so much that the prince spent a huge sum of money to transplant red plums all over the yard for her. Whenever the plum blossoms were in full bloom in winter, the cold plums reflected the snow and the fragrance hit her face.
, the scenery is extremely spectacular. Mrs. Han has the softness of a Jiangnan woman, and is currently the most favored by the prince.
There are loop-shaped corridors connecting the four courtyards. The position where the eldest lady was hanged is just under the tree behind the rockery. It is a blind corner of the field of vision. You cannot see that corner from the gates of the four courtyards.
There were no outsiders in the side hall, so Yu Hanjiang simply asked Xiao Lou: "Can the exact cause of death be determined?"
Xiao Loudao: "Judging from the body spots, nails and skin, I tend to be poisoned. There were no traces of stab wounds on her body, and there was probably no struggle before she died. Someone may have poisoned her food."
, poison her before the dinner begins, and then secretly hang her from the tree while the dinner begins and everyone goes to the pond to watch the show."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "The three ladies, the three young ladies and the prince himself all have time to commit crimes... Of course, the prince wants to kill his daughter, and there are many ways. He can give her any crime and execute her. There is no need to hang her.
On the tree."
Long Sen said: "The prince can rule it out. Many people came to congratulate him on his birthday this afternoon and gave him a lot of priceless gifts. He has been busy in the front yard without touching the ground. He has never been to the backyard. Most of the time
I can vouch for this fact when visiting guests in the study."
Mo Xuemin analyzed: "Mrs. Yun shouldn't have any motive to kill her biological daughter, right? Her daughter is married to the Lin family. The Lin family is the richest family in Daqi. I heard that the gift given to her by the Lin family included several boxes of gold.
It's too late for her to be happy. Her daughter dies like this. The palace has already accepted the betrothal gift, so it will be difficult for the Lin family to handle the matter once the eldest lady dies."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang also agreed with this speculation.
The Eighth Prince and his biological mother, Mrs. Yun, can be excluded. The remaining people include the fiery Mrs. Qing, the martial arts-loving Third Miss, the gentle and weak Mrs. Han, the masked Fourth Miss, the legitimate daughter, the Second Miss, and the ones who are here today.
Lin Shaobo, who was engaged to the deceased.
However, the motive for the crime still needs to be carefully investigated.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang said to Long Sen: "Go and call Mrs. Yun first. I want to ask about her daughter's condition."
Mrs. Yun just held her daughter's body and cried until her eyes were swollen. Under the comfort of the maid and the prince, she had adjusted her mentality. She also wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible and give her daughter an explanation, so she questioned Yu Hanjiang very much.
Cooperate.
Yu Hanjiang said: "I heard that Miss Yiyao had poor health when she was a child and was fostered outside?"
Mrs. Yun said: "My Ayao has been weak since she was a child. She became seriously ill when she was three years old and almost died. I was worried that she would not live long, so I took her with the prince to get a fortune teller outside the city. The fortune teller said her fortune
She was against me and she was too young to be raised by my side, so I fostered her with my master and didn't bring her back until she was ten years old."
Xiao Lou quickly took notes next to him. He couldn't write with a brush that fast, but he picked out the key points and could keep up with the speed.
Yu Hanjiang felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Lou's paper was filled with neat regular characters, and then asked: "When was the Buddhist hall built? And what is the marriage between her and Master Lin? Please tell me in detail, madam."
.”
Mrs. Yun sighed and said with red eyes: "Ayao built a small Buddhist hall at home the year she came back. She has been eating fast and chanting Buddha's prayers. She said she wanted to pray for us. She is actually very filial. The marriage was the prince's idea. The Lin family came last year
Come and propose marriage, let the eldest son of the Lin family marry our eldest daughter, it can be regarded as a good match."
When Xiao Lou heard this, he asked doubtfully: "The eldest son of the Lin family spends a lot of time and often hangs out in brothels. Hasn't Madam never heard of these things?"
Mrs. Yun said calmly: "How many men are careless? Didn't the prince marry several wives? Lin Shaobo is a famous talent in Jiangzhou. He is also very handsome, but he is a bit more romantic and comes from a wealthy family.
It doesn't matter if the young master is more romantic. After getting married, things will get better with a wife taking care of him. The Lin family promised that Lin Shaobo would only marry A-Yao and never take concubines. We, A-Yao, will not suffer any loss by marrying him."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
The concepts of ancient people were different from those of modern times. At that time, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, so in Mrs. Yun's opinion, Lin Shaobo was a good son-in-law candidate. He was handsome, rich and talented, and he promised to only marry his daughter.
, and also sent a sincere betrothal gift to the palace.
It's not surprising that the prince and Mrs. Yun agreed to this marriage.
Yu Hanjiang asked: "Have the eldest lady and the eldest young master of the Lin family met before?"
Mrs. Yun said: "We met once. I asked Ayao what her impression of Master Lin was. She said it was just average. I couldn't tell whether she liked him or disliked him. This is my daughter's temperament. She doesn't mind anything I ask."
Yu Hanjiang said: "After you asked her to go back this afternoon, did she behave abnormally?"
Mrs. Yun thought about it carefully and said: "No, she has no expression on her face. I asked her to change into more beautiful clothes. Those were the clothes I prepared specially for her. She said to put them away first and change them later.
, I ignored her and went to the kitchen to look at the dinner menu."
Yu Hanjiang said: "You haven't seen her since then?"
Mrs. Yun nodded: "I have been checking the menu with Sister-in-law Li in the kitchen. I am responsible for arranging the food for this dinner, and there must be no mistakes. Sister-in-law Li can vouch for this."
Yu Hanjiang asked Mrs. Yun to go back first.
After the lady left, he looked at Xiao Lou: "When the accident happened to the eldest lady, I remember that Lin Shaobo was not at the banquet, right?"
Xiao Loudao: "Yes, I observed it at the time and he was indeed not there."
Mo Xuemin and Long Sen looked at each other.
Logically speaking, a son-in-law should not leave in the middle of a birthday party for his future father-in-law, but no one noticed when Lin Shaobo left.
The four of them were thinking when they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Liu Qiao's voice came from outside the door: "Master Yu."
Yu Hanjiang immediately asked Long Sen to open the door.
Liu Qiao walked into the room and saw no one around, so she whispered: "I have a clue to report. Before the dinner started, the fourth lady excused herself for having a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. She disappeared for a long time. I followed her to the toilet out of suspicion.
, and found that there was no one in the toilet. Instead, I saw a rich young man and the fourth lady talking softly in the cave behind the rockery, with ambiguous movements - these two people should have an affair. "
