"It was originally one case, but now it's two cases. We don't know how long we'll have to delay our own business."
Her voice was very loud.
It was as if she was talking to Li Cheng.
Sure enough, Li Cheng did hear her.
He turned to look at them. Initially, he had been grumbling anxiously but when he heard Bai Yin's words, an embarrassed and apologetic look flashed across his face.
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
But he was very determined that he would do his best to find the person they were looking for.
Just when the atmosphere was awkward —
Xiao Heguan finally arrived.
In an instant, many pairs of eyes were fixed on him.
Li Cheng suddenly stood up and strode towards him.
"Xiao Heguan, I've waited for you for so long. Are you still not done?"
Xiao Heguan said, "Crown Prince Cheng, calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down? I'm going to bring someone to the house where Du Mubai committed suicide. "
"I'm anxious too, but this matter is very important. There are so many students in the study room that I have to explain clearly."
There was another round of excuses.
Li Cheng was an impatient person, but now he actually had some patience after being tortured by Xiao Heguan.
He harrumphed!
He flicked his sleeves.
"Alright, I'll play with you. Let's see who can outlast the other."
Hmph!
I don't believe it.
You can stop me for an hour, but can you stop me for a day?
Xiao Heguan glanced at the door. His eyes were about to pierce through, but the person still hadn't arrived.
How urgent!
If he came any later, he really wouldn't be able to stop the little tyrant.
…
Unfortunately, Prince Huyi was feeling unwell early in the morning, so Marquis Pingyang and his son Li Qiao went to the palace. Only Li Wenshu could make decisions in the residence.
The person sent by Xiao Heguan was also anxious because he didn't see Marquis Pingyang.
Now a group of people were waiting in the study room. If Marquis Pingyang didn't appear, there would be a big storm.
The person asked the servant at the door of the Li residence, "When will the Marquis come back?"
The servant shook his head, "I'm not sure."
"Then what should we do?"
"Why don't I send someone to wait at the palace gate and tell the Marquis when he comes out?"
"It's too late."
"Then there's no other way." The servant spread his hands.
It really was a coincidence.
After Li Wenshu found out that the poem Du Mubai wrote on the fan was for another woman, she stopped reading and sat in the room all day in a daze. The night before, Marquis Pingyang was worried when he saw his daughter like this. He asked her many times, but she did not say a word.
Marquis Pingyang thought that she was feeling uneasy because the wedding date was approaching, so he arranged for her to go to the temple today to burn incense and calm her mind.
One by one, the maids of the residence prepared everything and helped her out of the door.
At the door, he bumped into the person who came to report.
Although Li Cheng was an overlord, an overlord also had people he was afraid of. One was his sister, and the other was his big brother. Now that he saw the young miss of the Li family, of course he had to stop her.
Perhaps this Miss Li could also suppress Li Cheng.
"Miss Li."
He shouted!
Li Wenshu's eyes darkened. She was absent-minded. She was being supported by her maidservant as they walked out.
She stopped at the door and looked up at the unfamiliar person in front of her.
"You are?"
Before that person could speak, the servant of the Li residence said, "He's from the Wen She. He's here to report something to Master."
"My father has entered the palace. Come back later," Li Wenshu said to that person.
The carriage to the temple was already waiting in the snow.
She prepared to get on the carriage and leave.
That person seemed to be grasping at the last life-saving straw.
He hurriedly said, "Miss Li, it's about Crown Prince Cheng."
Ah Cheng?
Li Wenshu stopped in her tracks.
She turned and asked, "Ah Cheng? What happened to him? "
"The Crown Prince went to the Wen She with the people from the City Department. He said that he wanted to investigate the case in the room where Du Mubai committed suicide. Xiao He ordered this lowly one to come to the residence and report to the Marquis. Is there another arrangement? "
Du Mubai!
Li Wenshu had always been sensitive to these three words.
"You mean, Ah Cheng went to investigate Du Mubai's case?" She thought that she had heard wrong and asked again. That person said, "The Crown Prince said that Du Mubai was killed, so he wanted to investigate it. However, the case was closed by the Ministry of Justice six years ago. Xiao He was worried, so he sent this lowly one here. However, the Marquis is not in the residence. Miss Li, why don't you go and talk to the Crown Prince?
Don't make things difficult for Xiao He. "
Li Wenshu's body suddenly trembled.
Her pupils suddenly widened.
What did she hear?
Killed?
Du Mubai was killed?
This …
"You mean … Du Mubai was killed?" Her voice trembled.
She couldn't believe it!
"We don't know if he committed suicide, but the Crown Prince brought a teacher with him. He said that as long as he went to the room where Du Mubai committed suicide, he would be able to prove that Du Mubai was killed."
"Ah!" Li Wenshu felt as if a huge stone was suddenly pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her expression was ugly.
The maidservant looked at her and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you alright?"
She shook her head and looked at that person again. She tightened her neck and clenched her fists.
She said, "I'll go with you to the Wen Residence now."
"Good … Good!"
There's hope!
Li Cheng wouldn't dare to cause trouble with Li Wenshu.
How could he know that Li Wenshu had another purpose?
Two cups of tea later.
Li Wenshu arrived at the Wen Residence.
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Everyone was wasting time!
Let's see who can last longer!
When Li Wenshu arrived, everyone stood up.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu looked at each other.
Why didn't Marquis Pingyang come, but she came instead?
Li Cheng was very surprised when he saw that it was his elder sister.
He stood up to welcome her.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Li Wenshu grabbed his hand. Her eyes were red as she confirmed with him, "Ah Cheng, Mu … Du Mubai was really killed?"
"Sister …"
"Answer me!"
She grabbed Li Cheng's arm tightly.
Her nails felt as though they were about to pierce through his thick clothes and dig into his skin.
This action was completely abnormal.
It could be seen that Li Wenshu cared a lot about Du Mubai!
Ji Yunshu saw all of this.
She had a bold hypothesis in her heart …
Li Cheng knew how Li Wenshu felt, but he couldn't answer her. He could only look at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu caught his gaze and walked over to Li Wenshu.
He walked over and said to Li Wenshu, "Miss Li, I can tell you for sure that Du Mubai was indeed killed."
"Do you have any evidence?"
Ji Yunshu looked at Xiao Heguan. "That depends on whether Xiao Heguan allows us to investigate."
Thereupon —
Li Wenshu immediately said to Xiao Heguan, "Didn't you send someone to inform my father to listen to his opinion?"
