er..."“That’s enough!” The old woman clutched her chest, looking pained for a moment. 。“What is she even looking for A cause of death It's been over a month! She didn't ask for the cause of death when...Chi Hongfang had a vague sense of unease. Although he hadn't asked Ye Wenyan why they were investigating these matters, since the two generals' deaths had been mentioned before, it must be related in some way.

But that Xiu Shan County Jiang family was the mother's family of Madam Ye. Could it be that Madam Ye... Pool Hongfang didn't dare to think any further. This was a major matter, once the problem was investigated, and if the cause of death of the two generals was overturned, then for Lin'an City even the entire Bei Qi, it would be a turmoil, even a catastrophe 。The generals will die a horrible death, the soldiers are uneasy, the generals will be wronged, the soldiers are unjust. 。If there's really something hidden going on, I'm afraid the morale of the military will be in shambles. 。Chi Hongfang thought about these things, and wanted to advise Ye Wen that he shouldn't make too much noise. Even if there was something hidden, could he keep it all within the General's Mansion and not make it public This would prevent unrest in the army. 。Let's think about it again, it seems like we don't need to consider that much. 。Ye Wen's words represented the Emperor. No matter what she did or how she did it, there was always the support of the Great Emperor behind her. 。So even if things were made public and the military was in disarray, there was still the Emperor above stabilizing everything. What does he, a magistrate, have to worry about Just do whatever the fourth sister tells him to do. 。Chi Hongfang nodded in understanding and immediately agreed: "I will have someone investigate this immediately, thoroughly and secretly. I will also look for other reasons to retrieve the old case files from Xushan County." 。Sister Four, please rest assured. Even if Xiushan County has its own provincial government, Lin'an is still Lin'an. My official position still ranks above theirs. 。

This may not happen quickly, Fourth Sister, please don't worry too much.

Leaving the yamen, Ye Wenyan declined Chi Hongyan's offer of a carriage ride and strolled along the street with Zhuai’er. 。Zhuier had been frowning and pondering all the way until they reached Shun Da Street. She finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Ye Wenyan, "Sister, was it really the old lady Was the old master's death really related to the old lady"Ye Wenyan turned her head and asked her back, "What do you think"Zhuier thought for a moment, shaking her head. "These days, we've been dumping the medicine and food under the tree. The people in Fulu Courtyard should know that this is revenge on the old lady. It was the old lady who used to pour the medicine like this on the old master." 。"I'm just a lowly servant who wasn't serving in the Fu Lu Courtyard at the time, so I don't know much about what happened to the Old Master. But I do know some things about what happened with the Big Master." 。“

She pondered this, racking her brains but ultimately shaking her head. "There was nothing unusual about it. Everything was taken care of personally by madam. We even hired the best doctor, and he took his medicine regularly..." She paused suddenly here, remaining silent for a long time before continuing, “There's just one thing that's rather perplexing. As you know, Master always held great respect for Old Madam. He obeyed her in everything…" 。But he was ill at that time, the old lady came to visit once, but the master did not let her in, and loudly told her to leave, far away, what he didn't have her kind of mother>>> 。At the time, the old lady mumbled that this was due to illness and confusion. Others also thought it was a result of illness and confusion. 。Ye Wen listened to Zhu'er's words, pondered over them, and gradually came up with some logic. 。As for the young lady, the General has always been most obedient to his wife. His years of deference to her, even to the point of sending a daughter to live with her, prove that he is incapable of doing something as unthinkable as having his mother come to see him and then driving her away. 。But he did it anyway, which means only one thing: he knew something, something that shook his worldview to its core, completely shattering his image of his mother in his mind. 。

It's not that I'm sick or confused, it's just that I don't really want to see you.

Then, perhaps that illness was partly caused by the old general getting angry, and perhaps there was also a part of it because he was angered by the old mistress. 。So, the old lady didn't just kill her own husband back then, but also her own son Night Wenyan thought about this and shook his head again. It couldn't be that simple. A dignified general, only thirty-six years old, was not an elderly man with serious illness like a frail old master, how could he have been easily angered to death 。"Sister, why are you shaking your head" Jui'er asked her. 。Ye Wen didn't answer, only told Zhuier: "This matter we know ourselves is enough, don't alarm mother." 。"Yes, sister. Don't worry. We will keep this matter to ourselves. I won't tell anyone." 。"Only sister, are we going to keep walking back home We've only reached Shun Da Street, and we still have a long way to go. It's past lunchtime, aren't you hungry Why don't we eat something outside If we walk a little further, there's Baipinxiang. I know their stir-fried liver is very tender." 。"

Ye Wen was not suspicious at all, after all, she was also hungry. Baipinxiang is now run by the Mu family, and the old chef has been found back. As the daughter of the Mu family, it's normal to eat a meal there. >>> 。Then the two of them ran in the direction of Bai Pin Xiang, but on their way past a jewelry store, they saw several familiar people. 。Today Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei also made an appointment to go shopping together. At this moment, they just fell in love with a pair of earrings and were discussing whether to buy three identical ones, and then give Ye Wenyan a pair as well, making a set for the sisters. 。Jiang Wanting, as soon as she saw Ye Wenyan, was immediately filled with anger. "That dead girl has been so busy lately, she doesn't even have time to play with us anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to the General's Mansion to check on her. Don't tell me those wolves in their mansion ate her!" 。"

Chi Fei flew comforted her: "Recently, Beijing is not very peaceful, and the General's Mansion has indeed had many things to do with mourning. The Madam lost her husband suddenly, so how could she be in a good mood It's normal for Wen Yan not to come out to play. She should spend more time with her mother." 。 "

Ye Wen's steps toward the inside stopped. He raised his hand to rub his forehead, "Damn Chi Fei Fei, after you said that, how can I go find you all to eat together!" So she stepped back and found a corner to hide herself, thinking maybe she should just quietly watch them for a while, then quickly return home, and forget about going to Bai Pin Xiang for dinner. >>> 。At this time, acquaintances walked in. One was Li Yanan, the eldest sister of the Li family. The other one also looked quite familiar... who could it beShe leaned against a pillar and thought for a while before remembering. It was the elder sister who always accompanied Li Yanan at the New Year's Eve palace banquet! Her surname... ah, yes, Qian! Her family was probably a fourth-rank or third-rank official, wasn't it As soon as the group entered, that Sister Qian let out a loud voice: “Oh, I thought who it was! It’s not Elder Sister Jiang and Elder Sister Chi, is it So, are you two here to pick jewelry too Hmph, the jewelry on this floor is all sold to commoners. True wealthy families either go to the second floor or the third floor; no one picks things from the first floor...” 。"Look at this shabby appearance, don't you have any money"

Chi Feifei rolled her eyes at that moment, "Who do I think I am It turns out to be Money Youyou, the person who lives up to their name! Yes, we definitely can't compare to the Qian family's wealth, Sister Qian is so rich! Otherwise, your family wouldn't be able to give you such a pretentious name" 。"I just don't understand, Qian Da Ren is only a fourth-rank official, where did he get so much silver Is your Qian family doing business outside or in the imperial court You see, this matter needs us to investigate in Lin'an Prefecture, or should it be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment"

"Shut up!" Qian Youyou was anxious. How could he bring up their family affairs before finishing his sentence "Chi Fei Fei, are you shameless Between us, why are you bringing up our family affairs I'm just kindly reminding you not to buy such shabby things. It would be embarrassing to wear them out. Don't be ungrateful!" 。"Hmph!" She snorted and pulled Li Yanran aside. "Yanran, let's go. We won't bother with them." 。Li Yanran still had the air of a young lady from a wealthy family as she walked gracefully. Even though she disliked Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei in her heart, she smiled and nodded politely when she passed them. 。"That smile seemed fake. Jiang Wanting felt disgusted just by one glance, so she said to her, “Is Li Da’s foot healed I see you walking around fine, it seems like Li Family must have hired a skilled practitioner." 。“What kind of expert did the Li family hire! What kind of expert could heal her injury It wasn't until they took advantage of the time when Dilong was flipping over and obtained Wen Yan's medicine that things started to look better.” 。Coming up with this kind of excuse, it's really something else. Comforting words are for those who have suffered, not for someone like her who deliberately stirs up trouble. 。She's looking for trouble and insists on dancing on the edge of a knife. Seeing blood on New Year's Eve, she even competes with disaster victims for medicine! Li's eldest sister is truly remarkable. 。Li Yanran was so embarrassed by the two people's sarcasm that her face was almost unbearable. She clenched her fists tightly inside her sleeves. 。But she didn't want to ruin her image, and have a public argument with them on the street. 。The Spring Festival's Eve and the Li Family Clinic incident had already made her lose all face. Now, the most important thing was to get her face back, instead of losing it again. 。Then her eyes turned red, she put on a wronged look, and pulled Qian Youyou back a step, persuading the about-to-retaliate Qian Youyou: “Let it go. It’s all my fault, I was wrong. Let's just leave!” Qian Youyou couldn't stand to see her like that, he immediately got angry: "Why are you letting Yanran take your anger She is the Empress Dowager's niece! What do you think you are doing to the Empress Dowager What do you think you are doing to the Royal Family I never thought the Jiang and Chi families would be so bold, not even putting the Empress Dowager or the entire Royal Family in their eyes. I, I will definitely have my father report your family!" Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei looked at each other, both thinking the same thing: Qian Youyou finally grew a brain Yes, he finally grew a brain, knowing how to bring up the Empress Dowager and the Royal Family. Bringing them into this really shut Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei down. 。Ye Wenyan shook her head, looking at Qian Youyou's smug expression, then at Li Yanran who was so wronged that her eyes were red. She felt that if she didn't support her friend now, this round of confrontation would be dominated by Qian Youyou and the others. 。Then she walked out of the corner, happily entered the jewelry store, and while walking, she said to Zhuier: "Let's go straight to the third floor and choose the best jewelry to buy. Only the best is worthy of Empress Dowager." 。“Speaking of which, I suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei in surprise, “Oh, you guys got here first! Sorry I’m late. Let’s go, let’s go upstairs.” 。"

" the discomfort of her spiritual energy being drained. 。We'll have to hit the road early tomorrow, but hopefully it won't affect our pace. 。Shi Li Yuan used his magical arts to conjure a straw mat,...
