To put it another way, Xiao Lingyu must be a little curious about me now, so I have to think of a way to keep myself calm.

Jiang Kangan walked behind Jiang Zhiyu with a tense expression.

With Zhiyu's skillful description, one can imagine how many times Song Shiwei has used these methods. Was he blinded by lard before?

You couldn't figure it out even once?

He closed his eyes slightly.

No, never again.

"Zhiyu, I..."

Before Jiang Kangan could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shrill scream.

Everyone looked over in confusion, only to see a maid hurried out of the room, her face pale and eyes filled with horror: "No, this is bad, the Second Young Master, he, the Second Young Master has been murdered!"

!!!

It was as if a thunderclap had sounded out of nowhere. Everyone was stunned. The wife of Marquis Anle was even more shocked as if struck by lightning. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

【Ah? Got slammed?】

Lu Yaozu quickly reached out to catch her and shouted to the servants, "What are you all standing there for? Go find the palace doctor!"

A servant hurried away. Lu Yaozu suppressed his shock and anger, picked up the wife of Marquis Anle, and said coldly, "You all heard it too. Why don't you go back to the house and sit for a while? It won't be too late to leave after we have the results."

Xiao Lingyu also spoke coldly: "Come here, seal off the Anle Marquis Mansion, and no one is allowed to leave."

The group followed them back into the house. Lu Yaozu put the wife of Marquis Anle on the bed and went straight to the inner room.

Before entering the house, a bloody smell filled the air.

Everyone frowned. The maids and servants serving in the room were all cut in the throat with a knife, and blood was all over the floor. Lu Yaozu kicked the corpse in front of the door away, took a few steps, and then stopped abruptly.

Xiao Lingyu followed behind him and couldn't help but gasp when he saw the tragic scene on the bed.

Half of Lu Daizong's body was drooping down, his waist seemed to be broken in half, all ten fingers were broken, his eyes were gouged out, the wound on his neck was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was still flowing out. It seemed that with a little force, his entire head would flip over from the back.

Lu Yaozu covered his mouth and felt his stomach churning.

Jiang Zhiyu leaned forward to take a look.

[This is so bloody, it's really his style. ]

The few people who could hear it were all stunned, and Xiao Lingyu stared at her without any concealment.

She knew who the murderer was? If she knew so much, could it be that she was the one who ordered it?

Lu Yaozu naturally saw Xiao Lingyu's eyes. He put down his hands and just as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but dry heave. He quickly covered his mouth, but couldn't hold it back any longer.

With a sound of "Wow——", he vomited.

[Ah~]

Jiang Zhiyu retracted his foot after stepping forward.

Then, without any hesitation, she turned around and left the inner room.

He Yanting chuckled.

After leaving the inner room, the wife of the Marquis of Anle also woke up under the care of the court doctor. She grabbed the court doctor's hand with a ferocious expression: "Where is my son? How is my son?!"

The court doctor endured the pain and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry, the prince is here, he will find the murderer and give justice to the second master Lu."

So, what she just heard was true, her son... was gone?

Lady Anle looked at him blankly, her mind blank and buzzing.

At the same time, Xiao Lingyu also helped Lu Yaozu, who was vomiting profusely, out. He frowned, put Lu Yaozu on the chair, and couldn't wait to get away from him. He walked to the window and greedily took a few breaths of fresh air.

If he doesn't come out, he will die in the inner room.

Lu Yaozu wiped the corner of his mouth stained with filth with a handkerchief and said in a low voice: "Where is the person who reported it just now? What happened in there?!"

The maid who had started the report knelt hurriedly on the ground, her voice trembling, "Sir, after the Crown Prince came down, the nobles all left, leaving only a few of us in the room to serve the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but there was no tea in either room, so I came out to get some. It was only half a cup of tea when I entered the room again, I smelled an extremely pungent odor of blood, and then, I saw the Second Young Master..."

The maid's face turned pale, and she was still terrified thinking about the scene she had just seen.

Everyone present had a grim expression on their faces. Lady Anle had calmed down a bit at this point, and her voice was a little tearful: "Where's the Marquis? Have you found him?!"

The attendant quickly said, "The stone has been found, madam, don't worry."

Xiao Lingyu also calmed down at this moment and walked up to the wife of Anle Marquis: "Don't worry, madam, this man dared to commit a crime in the capital. He is so rampant, I will not let him off easily."

Lu Yaozu looked up at him, his eyes thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Where was Miss Jiang just now?"

【Can this be blamed on me?】

[It's really speechless. The mother opened the door to speechless - speechless is home. ]

Jiang Zhiyu: "I've been outside the courtyard the whole time. Master Lu should have seen me."

Lu Yaozu didn't respond and continued, "What about Miss Jiang's maid? Why haven't I seen her?"

Jiang Zhiyu: “…”

"Is it possible that I never brought a maid with me?"

Lu Yaozu was stunned for a moment.

No? Which lady goes out without a maid? She must be kidding herself.

He looked at his attendant, who shook his head in embarrassment: "Sir, she really didn't bring it."

[He is indeed a fool.]

The few people who could hear nodded silently.

Xiao Lingyu saw through his thoughts at a glance.

He simply thought that it was the same as the previous incident at the Shangshu Mansion, where the young lady sent her maid to do something, so he brought it up in a clever way.

Lu Yaozu coughed lightly and continued to look at Jiang Zhiyu suspiciously.

If it wasn't her, why did the prince look at her like that just now?

What's more, his brother had been bedridden for such a long time, so why did she come today and cause the accident today?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Zhiyu was the murderer.

No one spoke, time seemed to stop, and the air seemed to solidify.

Xiao Lingyu was the first to break the silence: "Go to the Ministry of Justice to find a coroner to perform an autopsy. Young ladies and gentlemen, please stand apart. When the Ministry of Justice arrives, they will check the belongings you have on you. Also, everyone should have been outside the courtyard at the time of the incident. Please check your companions to see if anyone is alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a steady male voice sounded: "I was probably alone at that time."

Xiao Lingyu frowned. The person who spoke was Jiang Kangan.

Lu Yaozu's eyes lit up. "It was you! Your sister attracted attention in front of the yard, and your brother sneaked into the house to commit the crime. You two, brother and sister, really cooperated well!"

His voice was gnashed with teeth, and the eyes of Lady Anle were full of coldness.

Jiang Kangan didn't even look at him, but stared at Xiao Lingyu: "I just went to the plum forest and picked a plum blossom."
