Wu Xiang followed Bo Ruoyou's carriage, "If so, the more we have suspicions. But if Liu Yao was not from the Liu family's bloodline, what happened back then?"

Bo Ruoyou lifted the curtain and said to the outsider: "I don't know this, I think there are some stories."

More than ten years ago, the old man from the Liu family was still alive. A count mansion like the Liu family would not marry a younger man casually. If Liu Yao's biological father was not Liu Wu's, how did the Liu family recognize her at the beginning?

Bo Ruoyou was very suspicious, "I'll know when I arrived at the Liu family. Maybe she was expelled from the genealogy because of something else."

Wu Xiang responded, and the group drove to Liu's mansion. When they arrived at the Liu's mansion in Pingkangfang, Liu Yan came out to greet him again. When he saw Wu Xiang, Liu Yan asked with great concern about the progress of the case. After entering the flower hall, Wu Xiang asked: "There is no clear clue yet, but I have a question to ask you."

"Please speak the headmaster-"

Wu Xiang said in a deep voice: "Miss Seven is the daughter of your deceased fifth uncle, right?"

Liu Yan nodded inexplicably, and Wu Xiang said again: "But I heard that Liu Yao was expelled from your Liu family genealogy four years ago, but is it true?"

"Has been expelled from the genealogy?" Liu Yan's expression suddenly changed, "How is this possible? Where did the headmaster hear it?"

Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yan. Seeing that he was not a fake, he said, "You don't have to worry about where you heard it. Don't know about this?"

Liu Yan looked confused, "I don't know, and how is that possible?"

Wu Xiang thought for a while, "Can your father be in the mansion today?"

Liu Yan shook his head, "Father went to the yamen--"

Wu Xiang didn't say much, "Okay, wait for your father to come back."

Liu Yan was very surprised, but seeing Wu Xiang's serious expression, he felt that this matter was extraordinary, so he immediately ordered someone to send a message to ask Liu Xun, the eldest master of the Liu family, to return soon.

When Liu Xun was waiting for Liu Xun's kung fu, someone was looking out of the flower hall. Wu Xiang frowned and looked at Liu Yan, "Whose servant is that?"

Liu Yan also saw the man and replied: "It's my fifth brother's servant."

The fifth young master Liu Xi… Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou looked at each other, and Wu Xiang asked again: “How did Liu Yao live in the mansion when she was a child? Have you ever been punished by anyone for making mistakes, or have you ever encountered any danger?”

Liu Yan frowned, "Punishment... When she was a child, was she punished by her grandmother like this?"

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Punished by the old lady in the house?"

"Yes, there were a few times when my grandmother was very strict with her and was quite strict with her. When she was a child, her grandmother refused to come to the main courtyard, but she was young and always did not follow the rules, so her grandmother would ask her servants to whip her with bamboo strips."

Liu Yan felt a little uncomfortable after speaking, "Grandmother believed the words of the monks and Taoists very much, and felt that she had defeated the fifth uncle and fifth aunt, so she was a little resentful to her, but if the seventh sister followed the rules, then grandmother would not treat her badly."

Bo Ruoyou thought of the scars on Liu Yao's body. The scars were old. In addition to the scars caused by trauma, there were also burns left behind. She hurriedly asked, "Has she been burned when she was young?"

Liu Yan wanted to shake his head first, but soon he raised his eyebrows, "There was, once, about ten years ago, there was a fire in the mansion. At that time, the fifth brother was trapped in the fire. Although the seventh sister was young, she rescued the fifth brother from the fire."

He narrowed his eyes and recalled, "At that time, the fire was in the bamboo building northwest of the courtyard. The bamboo building was a place to enjoy the scenery. After the fire broke out, the fire spread very quickly. Because it was close to the seventh sister's yard, she was very familiar with the bamboo building, so she ran in to save the people without hesitation. In the end, she really rescued her fifth brother, but they both were burned by the flame tongues."

Bo Ruoyou looked at Wu Xiang for a moment. When he saw the scars on Liu Yao, both of them subconsciously thought that Liu Yao had been abused, but now it seems that except for being beaten by the old lady, the burn was born from an accident.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but say, "So the fifth young master is particularly caring for the seventh girl?"

Liu Yan nodded, "That's true. After that incident, my grandmother was a little kind to her, so you just asked me if my seventh sister was expelled from the genealogy. I was very surprised. She is the biological daughter of Uncle Wu, so how could she be expelled from the genealogy?"

Wu Xiang stumbled for a moment and was somewhat suspicious of the nun's confession. It was around noon that the two of them had just arrived when Liu Xun returned. When they heard that the people from the yamen arrived, Liu Xun went straight into the hall, with a gentle face on his face.

However, when Wu Xiang expressed his questions, Liu Xun's expression became heavier, "This matter should have nothing to do with Yao'er's case, right?"

Wu Xiang said seriously, "If there is no connection, we will not go this trip specifically. Please tell me clearly."

Liu Xun frowned. This situation surprised Liu Yan on the side. If Liu Yao had not been removed from the list, he would directly deny it. Liu Xun hesitated so much that he almost agreed that this was indeed true.

"Father, did you really expel the seventh sister from the genealogy?"

Liu Xun glanced at Liu Yan and breathed heavily, "Forget it, since I have found this place, there is nothing to hide. Yao'er was indeed expelled from the family tree, which is also my mother's last wish."

Wu Xiang stared at him, "Is it because Miss Seven is not Liu's bloodline?"

A darkness flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, and he answered with difficulty, "Yes."

Liu Yan took a deep breath, "Father, how could it be..."

Liu Xun was silent for a few moments before he slowly said what happened that year, "When my younger brother and sister entered the Liu family, she was pregnant, and it was the blood of others. My fifth brother loved her brother and sister very much and concealed this matter. But later, when my younger brother and sister gave birth to Yao'er, he died of blood. The fifth brother was depressed. Perhaps he knew that Yao'er was not his biological daughter and did not care much. After getting drunk once, he accidentally exposed the matter and was known to his mother. My mother was furious at the time, and my mother never thought that the fifth brother would die unexpectedly afterwards, because of this, my mother was even more disgusted with Yao'er."

"Only my second brother and I know about this. Later in those years, my mother refused to let Yao'er walk around the mansion, and she wanted to see her. Later, she had some trouble and my mother endured it for a while. However, when she was dying, she still didn't want Yao'er to stay on the Liu family tree, so she ordered us to quietly remove her name and then find someone for her to marry her. The matter was forgotten. But unexpectedly, Yao'er had an affair with her later-"

Liu Xun's fist that fell on the arm of the chair clenched tightly, and the gloomy face became even more intense.

Seeing that the matter was indeed as Bo Ruoyou guessed, Wu Xiang's heart moved slightly, "Among the young masters, who know about this?"

Liu Xun thought for a moment, "I don't know, only my second brother and I know about this, even the Yaner brothers don't know about it."

Liu Yan really doesn’t know, but what about the others?

Brothers and sisters have always been together since childhood. If they are treated as blood-related sisters, they will naturally not have any thoughts. But if they know that they are not related, the result will be very different. Liu Yao is elegant and beautiful, and has a well-behaved personality. She can always be a female lover for her brothers and dare to go to the fire to save people. It can also be considered as doing her best to her brothers. Therefore, it is really easy to feel pity for her.

Wu Xiang didn't give up, "Master think about it carefully. If there is any possibility, the master should not hide it."

Liu Xun frowned unhappily, "Does the government office suspect Yan'er and how many?"

Wu Xiang glanced at Liu Yan, "The Third Young Master is not suspicious at the moment, but the other young masters are not necessarily--"

"But they are brothers and sisters in the same clan in the face of the same clan."

Wu Xiang shook his head, "The master also said that this is just on the surface. What if a young man knew the truth early in the morning? They are all young men and ladies, and they will be unable to calm down."

Liu Xun's thick eyebrows frowned into the character "Sichuan", and after pondering for a while, he said: "There is only one possibility to know this, that is, to take out the genealogy when you go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors, but the genealogy is usually locked in the ancestral hall cabinets and pavilions, and ordinary people can't take it out."

"Where is the key?" Wu Xiang asked.

Liu Xun said: "The key is with me, and it is not easy for others to come to me to get it."

Wu Xiang pondered for a few moments. He knew about this from the nun who was in love with the second master. Since this nun knows it, will anyone else know about it?

He asked twice with concern, and Liu Xun said affirmatively: "The genealogy is only taken out during the Chinese New Year and when the clan has added population. And I am also present at this time. My second brother and I are willing to hide it from them and will not let them know easily. If it weren't for this, Yan'er should have known it long ago."

Liu Yan followed suit, "When the sacrifice, my father valued etiquette and law very much."

Wu Xiang said, "Where is the second master?"

Liu Xun looked at Liu Yan, and Liu Yan said, "I don't know that my second uncle is not in the mansion."

Liu Xun didn't know what he thought of, and he showed disgust in his eyes, "Send someone to find--"

Wu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Please invite the third son to come over. I have something to ask the fifth son."

Seeing this, Liu Xun left with a calm face. Soon, Liu Xi was invited over. Wu Xiang saw him and said straight to the point: "Miss Seven has saved his life to the fifth son. No wonder he is particularly concerned about Miss Seven. The house that the fifth son has prepared in the south of the city is prepared for Miss Seven?"

Liu Xi's expression changed slightly as he heard this, "I don't know what the captain is saying."

Wu Xiang sighed, "The fifth young master doesn't have to cover up anymore. Just now, the master has informed us of the old story. Does the fifth young master already know the life experience of Miss Seven?"

Liu Xi pursed her thin lips tightly, her face calmly, but she didn't say anything unexpectedly. Liu Yan was surprised to see it, "Fifth brother really knows?"

Liu Xi frowned, as if he had thought of something, and there was a deep pain in his eyes. Wu Xiang continued: "If the fifth young master always hides his face, it will not be conducive to the yamen to find the murderer of Miss Seven, or the fifth young master is the murderer of Miss Seven?"

"I'm not." Liu Xi looked at Wu Xiang gloomyly, "How could I harm her!"

"Don't the fifth young master want to find out the murderer who killed Miss Seven? How did the fifth young master know about Miss Seven's life experience? But others also know it?"
