Ye Zhen was sent to the yamen by Mo Rongzhan. Lu Xiangzhi specially arranged a spacious courtyard for her, which was fully furnished.
"Big brother, I made you something to eat. Try it." Ye Zhen took advantage of her free time to make a medicinal diet for Lu Xiangzhi and sent it to him at lunchtime.
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and put down the pen in his hand. "I didn't expect you to be able to cook in such a short time."
Ye Zhen glanced at him with a smile. "Hurry up and eat."
"Did the emperor kill the assassin?" Lu Xiangzhi sat down beside the low table. Since the emperor took Zhuo Yunrui away, he had not intervened.
"Because it involves too many things, the emperor is still investigating." Ye Zhen said. "How is your case going?"
Lu Xiangzhi sighed deeply. "After He Wenze learned that his wife was pregnant, he refused to be a scapegoat and confessed everything. It was Prince Zheng who killed him, but …"
"But Zhong Huai Hou protected his son and didn't let you bring Prince Zheng back to the yamen for questioning?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Almost, but since Prince Zheng killed someone, as long as the evidence is conclusive, even if Zhong Huai Hou wants to protect him, he can't." Lu Xiangzhi said. Now he was collecting evidence.
Ye Zhen said, "I don't think Minister Lu wanted to save his son-in-law at all."
Lu Xiangzhi chuckled. "You saw it?"
"Big brother already knew?" Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. Yesterday, she went to see Lu Zhenzhu and happened to meet Minister Lu quarreling with his daughter. From their words, Ye Zhen saw a little clue. She planned to come back and tell her big brother, but who knew that she would meet Zhuo Yunrui on the road.
"Minister Lu has come to me so many times. I knew it after a little probing." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile. "Why did you go to their house yesterday?"
Ye Zhen said, "I went to see Lu Zhenzhu's nAd1."
Lu Xiangzhi was silent for a moment. "Do you also think Lu Zhenzhu looks like Eldest Sister?"
"At first glance, it's exactly the same." Ye Zhen smiled. "Their personalities are worlds apart."
"Then do you think she's big sister?" Lu Xiangzhi asked in a low voice. "Yaoyao, isn't big sister already dead?"
Ye Zhen shook her head, "Lu Wushuang is not dead. Why do you think the emperor removed Lu Lingzhi's title? It has something to do with Lu Wushuang's fake death."
"Eldest brother and eldest sister …" Lu Xiangzhi took a deep look at his sister. He could understand her resentment towards them because they killed Ye Zhen. "Do you still hate them?"
"I can't be relatives with them, but I am relatives with you." Ye Zhen said firmly. She was sincerely grateful and fond of Lu Shiming's family.
Hearing this, Lu Xiangzhi's brows relaxed. "Let's not talk about the past."
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Big brother, I won't hinder you from doing things. I'll go back first."

Mo Rongzhan planned to use Zhuo Yunrui as bait to lure Qian Luosha's people out. Now that a day had passed, besides Zhuo Su 'er, Qian Luosha's people still hadn't appeared.
He came to Feng Jia Village again. Zhuo Yunyu wanted to see him, and he also wanted to see Zhuo Yunyu.
"Master came just now." Zhuo Yunyu said to Mo Rongzhan with a smile, "Fortunately, we didn't meet, otherwise, I'm afraid you will be unhappy again."
"He is not my master." Mo Rongzhan's voice was as cold as ice.
Zhuo Yunyu nodded gently, "I understand what you mean, Ah Zhan. I have heard about Yunrui's matter."
"Don't you want to ask me why I took him away?" Mo Rongzhan sat down opposite Zhuo Yunyu, his clear and indifferent eyebrows revealing a biting domineering aura.
Although Zhuo Yunyu could not see Mo Rongzhan's appearance at this time, he could also vaguely feel that the man sitting in front of him was no longer the silly boy who deliberately pretended to be. Just listening to his voice, he could feel a sense of awe-inspiring majesty and tension.
"The person Yunrui wants to kill must be someone you know." Zhuo Yunyu whispered.
"Not only do I know him, but he is also very important to me." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, his dark and cold eyes staring at Zhuo Yunyu.
Just now, Elder Zhuo had said that the person Yunrui wanted to kill was the princess of Jin Nation.
"Ah Zhan, what exactly do you want to know? I will definitely tell you everything I know." Zhuo Yunyu's handsome face appeared sincere and gentle. He had originally planned to meet Mo Rongzhan, so there was no need to hide anything.
Mo Rongzhan asked faintly, "How did you become Elder Zhuo's disciple?"
Zhuo Yunyu was slightly startled. He had not expected that he would ask such a question. "Master raised me since I was young. He told me to call him Master, so I called him Master."
"Is your brother also his disciple?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"No, Yunrui grew up in the villa. He has a rather undisciplined personality. Sometimes, even I can't control him," Zhuo Yunyu said helplessly.
Mo Rongzhan stared at him sharply, "Your surname was originally Zhuo, or did you take Elder Zhuo's surname?"
"…" Zhuo Yunyu hesitated. He did not know how to answer Mo Rongzhan.
"You can't answer, or you don't want to answer?" Mo Rongzhan's slender fingers tapped soundlessly on the table. In the past, he had not felt that there was anything strange between Zhuo Yunyu and Elder Zhuo. But now that he had doubts, he discovered even more abnormalities.
Why did Zhuo Yunyu have the same surname as Elder Zhuo? If he had been raised by Elder Zhuo since he was young, then who were his parents? The old villa lord of Verdant Cloud Villa had only passed away a few years ago. Why did he hand his own son over to Elder Zhuo to raise? Why could Zhuo Yunyu's eyes not see?
"My surname has been Zhuo since I was young." Zhuo Yunyu had never lied. He did not want to lie to Mo Rongzhan, but the truth … he could not say it either. It was something he planned to hide for the rest of his life.
Mo Rongzhan revealed a cold, mocking smile. "Your surname has been Zhuo since you were young. Looks like your ancestor's surname was not Zhuo."
"Ah Zhan, everyone has secrets they do not wish to tell others. Sometimes, it is safest to keep a secret in the bottom of your heart. Saying it will only hurt others," Zhuo Yunyu said in a low voice.
"Then, are you not going to tell the truth about Zhuo Yunrui?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Zhuo Yunyu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. "I really did not know that Yunrui had become a killer for Qian Luosha. Are you asking about … Master's relationship with Qian Luosha?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled. "Who is the pavilion master of Qian Luosha?"
"I don't know." Zhuo Yunyu shook his head with a bitter smile. "Perhaps Master knows."
"Is it Elder Zhuo?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly.
Zhuo Yunyu was stunned. "How did you think it was Master? Impossible … "
Zhuo Yunyu hesitated again when he thought of his master's various actions in the past two years. He had never thought that his master would be the pavilion master. But judging from his master's tone, which seemed to be able to manipulate Qian Luosha, he really did not know who else it could be other than the pavilion master.
He had always thought that his master was just a manager of Qian Luosha.
Mo Rongzhan asked mildly, "Is it really impossible?"
