"What are you guys doing? I just sat down..." After receiving Liu Xiaoran's indifferent look, Lu Lingjue weakly held back the last word, "Go."

Su Mu patted Lu Lingjue's shoulder reassuringly and said, "Don't be upset at the beginning of Chen, but since you're here today, you should inquire about something. When this case is settled, I'll treat you to whatever you want."

Lu Lingjue was delighted when he heard it, he himself did not dare to disobey Liu Xiaoran, and now he was able to pick up a meal for nothing, which was really a surprise.He reached out and hooked Su Mu's shoulder: "I knew Yu Zhi was the best for me!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Xiaoran was slightly surprised.

Are they already so familiar?

This idea immediately disappeared from his mind. There is a mourning hall in the main house in front of him, and people come and go, which shows the status of the Hong family in Bishui County. Liu Xiaoran glanced inside from a distance, raised her leg and walked in..

As soon as they stepped into the threshold of the main hall, the three found that standing in the center of the crowd was the protagonist they were looking for.In the mourning hall, Hong Siqi was collapsing on the side of the coffin, and Hong Chengyu was taking his place to entertain the relatives and friends who came to express their condolences. Hong Yichen found a place to sit on the sidelines, watching lazily and coldly, with a smirk on his lips.If there is a smile that seems to be nothing.

Lu Lingjue straightened her expression, and got in from the crowd. Liu Xiaoran and Su Mu also moved to the front of the crowd step by step.

Liu Xiaoran had prepared the funeral package long before, and after bowing, handed the envelope to Hong Chengyu, and said lightly: "My condolences."

Hong Chengyu didn't go to the county government office, so he didn't know who the handsome young man in front of him was. It's just that the thick stack of bank notes in the envelope couldn't be faked, and the man in front of him even wore a simple white dress that looked very handsome.Noble, with a handsome figure, but a cold aloofness revealed in his brows, he is by no means an ordinary person.He thought it was some noble person that his second brother knew when he was doing business abroad, so he politely returned the gift.

Before he could open his mouth, another voice came from the side: "Mrs. Liang is such a good person...it's really a pity that she was caught off guard so much."

Hong Chengyu was slightly taken aback, and looked at the speaker.

There were two people standing beside Liu Xiaoran. The speaker was wearing light green clothes, with a youthful look in his eyes, and the other was also wearing white clothes, but the white clothes were embroidered with a pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered with black silk and gold thread, which was exquisite and elegant.And that person was handsome, and the gentle look in his eyes was completely different from Liu Xiaoran's cramped feeling, which made people feel much more intimate inadvertently.

Hong Chengyu was even more surprised. These people could tell they were not ordinary people just by their clothes and faces, and they didn't even know where they were noble sons. Thinking that he didn't want to offend the powerful, he became more cautious when answering.

"My sister-in-law is really suffering."

Although Su Mu didn't say a word, he carefully observed Hong Chengyu's demeanor. Apart from looking at his own time, he paused slightly when he replied, as if he was hesitating.Lu Lingjue looked at each other, looking a little guilty.

He thought for a moment, and said softly: "Madam is usually kind to others and has a gentle temperament. I don't know why..." Su Mu didn't finish the second half of the sentence, because he wanted to see Hong Chengyu's reaction.

If he was really innocent, he should think that this was just an accident. No matter how bad it was, he would think that Liang Xuanxuan committed suicide for some reason and had nothing to do with others, but if he had something in his heart...

After hearing this, Hong Chengyu's face changed slightly, his hands were unconsciously crossed on his chest, his fingers were tightly twisted together, and his eyes were fixed on Su Mu. After opening his mouth several times, he lowered his eyes: "This... I don't know about this, it may be... It may be that the second younger brother comes back less often, and she feels that she can't support it alone, so..."

"But I heard that the second master came back a month ago? Does Madam still feel unsatisfactory in life?" Lu Lingjue asked from the side.

Although it was unreasonable to inquire about the secret affairs of the mansion, but I don't know if it was because Lu Lingjue asked naturally, or because Hong Chengyu was thinking about other things, he just stood there for a long time before shaking his head:"This... I don't know either."

While talking, a small figure suddenly rushed over, without saying hello, he asked, "Where is my mother?"

Hong Chengyu, who was dripping with cold sweat, longed for someone to rescue him, and said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Hey, I'll take you to find your mother. The adults are laughing at you, this is the child who reads—"

"Just tell me where my mother is, and I'll find it myself." The child didn't seem to be very face-saving, and interrupted Hong Chengyu's words directly, and the atmosphere suddenly became more awkward.

For a moment no one spoke.

Liu Xiaoran had a panoramic view of all this, and she also had some calculations in her heart, she clicked to stop, cupped her hands, then turned and left.

After the three of them walked out of the hall, they looked at each other tacitly, and without further delay, they decided to go back to the county office to sort out all the clues they discovered today.

"Then Hong Chengyu definitely doesn't look like he has a clear conscience!" Lu Lingjue sat on the table with his hands on his hands, dangling his legs, "It's clear that he has a ghost in his heart."

Leaning on the other side of the table, Su Mu also nodded and said, "Indeed, he behaved unnaturally. If it wasn't because of Mrs. Liang's tragic death, it must be because he knew something."

Liu Xiaoran remained silent, she reached out to grab Lu Lingjue's collar, but the latter dodged it in time.

"My lord, if you have something to say, I'll come down now." Lu Lingjue moved down from the table, curled her lips, "I'm so old, why do you always grab people by the collar, it's embarrassing."

Su Mu became interested after hearing this: "Chenchu, have you followed Liu Shaoqing for a long time, but you seem to be about the same age as me, did you actually work in Dali Temple so early?"

Lu Lingjue laughed when she heard the words, touched her chin and said old-fashionedly: "You're right - and you're not right either!"

Su Mu wanted to ask, but Liu Xiaoran coughed lightly after sitting down, and Lu Lingjue trembled, then covered her mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I just don't talk nonsense."

Now that Su Mu understood, it must be that Liu Xiaoran didn't want to let herself know, so she also wisely stopped asking, and asked about the follow-up: "Since we know that Hong Chengyu may have secrets, it is difficult for us to be outsiders now."Continue to check, do you need County Magistrate Wu to help you?"

Liu Xiaoran frowned: "If he was asked to investigate, the murderer would most likely be able to escape easily." That day, he read the records of many cases that Wu Qing had sentenced before he took office in the county government treasury, although most of the cases had autopsy resultsAnd the investigation records show that he did not eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, but even if there is something strange about the corpse, after being unable to clarify the truth, most of the county magistrate closed the case by accident, which shows that he is incompetent.

"If necessary, I will intervene as Dali Temple." He pondered.
