140 The Seventh Lady 10

Everyone looked at Liu Xi, and Liu Xi's gloomy face showed bitterness, "The Liu family rules that every year when celebrating ancestors during the New Year, a child and grandson would have to stay in the ancestral hall for New Year. That New Year, I was the one who stayed up for New Year. It was that year. My uncle and his friends had already left, but my uncle suddenly hurried back to check the cabinet where the family tree was placed, as if he was afraid that the family tree would be seen. I became suspicious at that time."

"It was also at that time that my uncle began to ask someone to tell my sister about her. By chance, when I went to find my uncle and the second uncle reported what happened in the shop, I heard them talk about the seventh sister. My uncle meant to hide it from outsiders and just marry her. My uncle was worried and said that the family tree was removed from the family, and my sister would not have a good life in my husband's family. My uncle said that there was nothing I could do, she was not from the Liu family's blood."

Liu Yan widened his eyes when he heard this, "Fifth brother knew that..."

Wu Xiang frowned, "Why did you say you went to Shuiyue'an to find her many times?"

"In order to ask her who caused her." Liu Xi's eyes showed a little gloom. She glanced at Liu Yan and explained it simply, "She never left the house alone. If there were guests at home, she rarely came out to walk around. The man who could call her name was afraid that she would count it with one hand. I don't think she would have an affair with any outsider."

Liu Yan couldn't help but speak, "Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Xi ignored it, "I can know this, and other brothers may also know that there are far more people in this mansion who hate her than those who like her. Even I myself would not treat her as my own sister since I was a child. If she had not saved my life back then, I would have known who she is, and I would have thought of making her marry out of sight."

"If you have siblings, you will be bound by ethics and ethics. But if you know that you are not a sibling, you will lose your moral concerns. Especially when you get longer, it will be more difficult to see her as your own sister--"

Liu Xi closed his eyes for a moment and looked at Wu Xiang again, "So, the person who murdered her must be the one in the mansion, but she was unwilling to tell who that person was, even if I couldn't ask."

Liu Yan wanted to speak but stopped. Even though Liu Yao was not from the Liu family's blood, she was also the lady of the Liu family in the eyes of outsiders. If this matter was spread, it would be a scandal that would be compared to the ashes. At that time, the Liu family would definitely be criticized.

Seeing that Liu Xi was filled with pain, Wu Xiang did not ask him what he thought of Liu Yao, but said, "Do you know who else knows about this?"

Liu Xi shook his head and sighed, "It would be fine if I knew."

Wu Xiang frowned, "I'm asking you a few brothers now, I'm afraid they will all say they don't know."

Wu Xiang looked at Liu Yan again, and Liu Yan said with discomfort: "I really don't know. In my heart, the seventh sister is my sister. I also said the reason why she didn't care so much about her. It's impossible that I was harming him."

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, "Can the second and fourth sons be in the mansion?"

Liu Yan nodded quickly, "It's here."

"Please come here."

Liu Yan ordered his servant to invite people. Soon, the second son Liu Xu arrived in the hall first. Among the brothers, Liu Xusheng was gentle and gentle, and his words and deeds were also polite. The eldest son in the house was not here, so he did have some respect for his elder brother.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xu asked about the case with great concern. When he heard Wu Xiang say that there was no progress yet, Liu Xu's eyes sank. Wu Xiang looked him up and down for a moment, "I heard that the second young master has been engaged."

Liu Xu nodded, and Wu Xiang asked again: "I don't know which lady it is."

Liu Xu was a little hesitant and puzzled, as if he didn't understand why Wu Xiang asked this. Liu Yan hurriedly said, "It's the second lady of the Minister of Rites--"

Wu Xiang nodded slightly and said nothing else. Not long after, the fourth son Liu Heng, who looked sick, came to the entrance of the hall. He had not seen him for two days. His face turned even more sallow and was blue and black now. Obviously, he was suffering from the past two days. As soon as he entered the door, he sat down impatiently, "What are you asking me to do here? I have already said that day."

Wu Xiang looked at Liu Xu and Liu Heng, "Do you know that Liu Yao is not a matter of the Liu family's blood?"

Wu Xiang asked directly. As soon as this sentence fell, Liu Xu and Liu Heng looked surprised at the same time, Liu Xu looked surprised and suspicious, "What? Yao'er is not the blood of the Liu family?"

Liu Heng also frowned and said, "Seventh Sister is the biological daughter of Uncle Wu. How do you say this?"

Both of them were shocked. It seemed that they had no idea about this before. Wu Xiang carefully examined them, but saw that they did not dodge and looked at him, without any sense of guilt. Wu Xiang was a little confused for a moment. If both of them knew about this, then the only one of the Grand Master, the Second Master and the Second Master, and Liu Xi knew about it in the entire Liu Mansion. Could it be one of the Grand Master and the Second Master?

Wu Xiang glanced at Liu Yan, and Liu Yan slowly told Liu Yao's life experience. Liu Xu and Liu Heng were stunned for a moment. Liu Xu said regretfully: "No wonder my grandmother didn't like her since she was a child. I thought my grandmother believed those monks and Taoists. No matter what the entanglements of the previous generation had, it had nothing to do with her. She had a very difficult time urinating since childhood."

Liu Heng snorted after hearing this, "What's wrong with it? He is not a lady from the Liu family, but we have also let her grow up with luxury. If it weren't for us, I wouldn't know what life she would live."

Liu Heng was very disliked Liu Yao during his conversation. Even though she was dead, Liu Yan sighed and said, "The most important thing now is to find out who is the one who has killed the seventh sister? If there is really someone in our mansion who is murdering human life, everyone will not be able to live in peace."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Wu Xiang looked at the Liu princes in the house and felt that anyone could lie. Although the Liu family's servant asked about the testimony, it was not ruled out that someone would perjury for them.

Bo Ruoyou looked at these brothers and felt that it was not true. Such a stalemate was not a solution, so the two had to say goodbye.

After leaving Liu's mansion, the two returned to the yamen. When they arrived at the yamen, Wu Xiang looked at the confessions of several female nuns and said, "The second master's favored female nun did not realize that the second master had any intimacy with Liu Yao in his words. On the contrary, because of Liu Yao's reputation, the second master was quite disgusted. Just as Liu Xi said, she was like a disaster. The two masters of the Liu family just wanted to marry her out."

Bo Ruoyou's beautiful eyebrows were frowned, and the deep black pupils were dim. "Just looking at the appearance of the Liu family's master just now, I seemed to think that Liu Yao made trouble for the Liu family and so many troubles happened."

She pondered for a moment, "After the incident that day, only the murderer knew that something had happened to Liu Yao, but the nunnery had not reported Liu Yao's death for a long time. If the captain was the murderer, would he be anxious?"

Wu Xiang thought for a moment, "Of course I'm anxious. You said that Liu Yao died of excessive blood loss, and there was no extra blood on the ground in the house. If it were me, I would probably have to worry about whether Liu Yao died thoroughly."

Bo Ruoyou's narrow eyes, "Then, the murderer may choose to go to the temple under the banner of visiting her."

Wu Xiang stood up and walked along, and analyzed according to her words, "The first person to visit her was the Third Master. When he was asked the day before yesterday, he had already asked the people in the mansion. The eldest master of the Liu family was an official, and the head of the Liu family, and the second master was in charge of Liu's business. However, because he liked wine and sex, he was crazy and unaccomplicated, the Third Master assisted him. The Third Master acted properly and treated his servants quite kindly. He was more smart than the accountant. He went to visit Liu Yao because of his concern for his little niece or something else?"

Bo Ruo thought quietly, Wu Xiang said again: "The second one is the second young master Liu Xu. He said that he went there as the top brother in the family, and the third one is Liu Xi. For some reason, I don't doubt Liu Xi. Compared to others, Liu Xi's emotions are on his face, and he has visited Liu Yao the most. If he was someone who had an affair with Liu Yao, how could he go to see her so openly?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't answer for a while. Wu Xiang thought for a while and said, "You should check everyone's details more clearly. Liu Yao didn't say who had an affair with her. If it was to protect who, would it be Liu Xu? He had already made a marriage with the lady of the Shangshu family. If he said it, it would be a good marriage. Today, Liu Xu and Liu Heng both knew nothing about this matter, but I don't think it was all up."

Bo Ruoyou felt this too, "Then the captain continued to investigate, and I think about how the murderer escaped."

The two reached a consensus that when they saw it was getting late, Bo Ruoyou should return home first. The case was confusing, and the secret room at the scene of the case had not been solved. Bo Ruoyou felt that if he could figure out why the murderer died in a closed room, the murderer of the case would be about to emerge.

During dinner, Bo Ruoyou told Cheng Yunzhi what he had obtained from the Liu family. Cheng Yunzhi frowned, "If so, the most suspected person is indeed the three people who should visit first, especially this third master, who used to be unwilling to care about this little niece, but this is the first time he went to visit, and he was the first to go there."

Bo Ruoyou sighed bitterly, "There is no other evidence at the moment. Captain Wu will continue to investigate, but I am afraid it will take a few days to investigate."

Seeing her thinking hard, Cheng Yunzhi had to comfort her. After dinner, Bo Ruoyou returned to the room to take a shower and lay down. Because she was anxious in her heart, she was sleepless for a moment. However, at this moment she had never thought about the case, she was thinking about Huo Weilou.

The southwest is thousands of miles away from the capital. Thinking that Huo Weilou was in danger and there was no news, she felt a suffocation and pain. The night was already deep. She tossed and turned for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, there was another illusion of mist. She looked like a lost blind woman, unable to see the road under her feet, and unable to tell the direction of her journey. Only the sound of bells that kept ringing came, and it seemed that she had entered the end of a dark road, and it seemed that she could hear strange and familiar crying. The sound was childish and frightened, which instantly caused Bo Ruoyou to be sad. At the moment, there was a flash of golden light in front of her. Through the tulle-like mist, she seemed to see Huo Weilou covered in blood.

...

Bo Ruoyou was woken up by the knock on the door.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and only after a few breaths did she hear Aunt Liang's voice coming from outside the door.

"Miss? Isn't you awake yet?"

Bo Ruoyou turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and saw that it was already bright. She was a little surprised and got up in her clothes and went to open the door first. Aunt Liang stood outside the door and looked at Bo Ruoyou with some concern, "What's wrong with Miss? But she feels uncomfortable?"

She got up late today, which made Cheng Yunzhi a little worried, so she just asked Aunt Liang to come and take a look.

Bo Ruoyou rubbed his eyebrows, clearly feeling tired and a slight pain in his forehead, but he couldn't remember what he dreamed of last night, "No, it's just that I couldn't sleep last night, so I slept a little late."

Aunt Liang looked at her up and down for a moment, "That's fine, Miss, should I sleep for a while?"

Bo Ruoyou shook her head, and Aunt Liang ordered her to wash and then left after breakfast. She stood in front of the door in a daze and woke up for a moment, but she still couldn't remember the scene in her dream last night.

After Cheng Yunzhi had breakfast, the father and daughter went to Wuzhao Hou Mansion again. Bo Ruoyou now decided to go to Wuzhao Hou Mansion first. She wanted to know if the news came back in the southwest.

The carriage was parked in front of the Marquis's Mansion. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking when he saw Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu sighed, "There is no news, there is no news..."
