"You really don't care about the mother and son of the Ke family?" Cen Mingzhu expressed her doubt, but Zhu Yixuan spoke with certainty and calmness, which meant that what he said was most likely true. If Zhu Yixuan really sent people away so thoroughly, she would only be causing trouble if she continued to pursue the matter.

Zhu Yixuan nodded heavily, looking at her lovingly, "Since I met Madam, I realized that there are such noble women in this world. Cui and Ke can't be compared with you at all. Not to mention Ke, if Madam hadn't mentioned her, I would have almost forgotten about such a person. As for Cui, I divorced her because we were husband and wife, but I gave her all the compensation she deserved. She even dared to gossip in front of you. Did you really think I didn't dare to touch her!"

Zhu Yixuan clenched his fists tightly, filled with anger.

Cen Mingzhu said coquettishly, "Okay, my husband, if she wants to stir up trouble, I have to take action, right? Now I didn't listen to her, and we have talked it out between husband and wife. The Cui family and the Ke family have nothing to do with us from now on!"

Zhu Yixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam is very considerate. Originally, we should have had our wedding night tonight, but my mother just passed away, and we have to wear mourning clothes."

Cen Mingzhu pressed her finger against Zhu Yixuan's lips, "Husband, you don't have to say anything, I understand."

After Zhu Yixuan left, Xiaoshuang came over to help Cen Mingzhu rest.

"Miss, is everything the uncle said true?"

Cen Mingzhu sneered, "We can find out whether it is true or not by sending someone to investigate! If Zhu Yixuan dares to lie to me, don't blame me for being ruthless! The one from the Yao family disappeared quietly, and this one is the same."

Xiaoshuang trembled and lowered her head.

At the same time, Zhu Yixuan, who had returned to the study, immediately saw his personal attendant calling him, "Go, investigate how Liu knew the cause of Bai Feng's death, and see who Liu had contacted."

"Master, Liu is in the dungeon, what should we do?" The follower hesitated.

Zhu Yixuan angrily scolded, "Don't you understand that it's just a matter of spending some money? She's just a crazy woman, you can make her confess with just a little trick."

He was very angry, not only because Liu killed Madam Zhu in Zhu's house, but also because Liu accused him of killing Bai Feng in public. Her desperate move had already confirmed his guilt. Even if he reported the case to the police and the county government came forward to clarify the matter for him, I'm afraid the people would not really believe it.

His current situation is very passive.

After thinking for a while, he ordered again: "By the way, go to Ximen Village to investigate Xiong Kai's whereabouts."

Only he and Xiong Kai knew the cause of Bai Feng's death. The most likely possibility was that Xiong Kai turned against him and took revenge on him. If that was the case, he would definitely make Xiong Kai die miserably!

Zhu Yixuan clenched his fists and stared at the dark night with a sharp gaze, his expression cold and resolute.

The servants who went out to investigate soon got the news.

"Master, Liu couldn't bear the punishment and confessed voluntarily. It was a man in black who told her that. However, she had never seen the man's face and only knew his approximate height. Xiong Kai was not at home, only his wife was at home. I asked the villagers, but no one knew his whereabouts."

Zhu Yixuan slowly closed his eyes. At this moment he was certain that it was Xiong Kai who was behind this.

He kicked over the stool angrily and uttered word by word through gritted teeth, "Xiong Kai! You are really awesome! You want to play, right? Then I will play with you properly! Someone! Go to Sangjia Village, Fufeng Township!"

While Zhu Yixuan was busy taking revenge on Xiong Kai, Cen Mingzhu was also busy.

She specially brought Xiaoshuang and the guards to Bai Mansion.

The gatehouse of the Bai Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no one at the door.

Xiaoshuang went to knock on the door and announced Cen Mingzhu's name. The servants did not dare to stop them outside and only took them to see Zhu carefully.

But after one night, Zhu looked haggard and dazed, as if she had aged more than ten years. When she heard that Cen Mingzhu was coming to see her, she immediately rushed out of the yard and cried aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law! I didn't know my mother-in-law would be so cruel as to assassinate my mother. I really don't know anything. Please help me beg my eldest brother and my father. I really don't know anything."

Ever since Mr. Zhu said yesterday that he wanted to break up with her, her world has collapsed. She doesn't even know how she got back.

Cen Mingzhu broke free from Zhu without leaving a trace and went straight into the house.

"Sister-in-law, I came here today just to ask about what happened yesterday. Why would your mother-in-law say something like that?"

Mrs. Zhu shook her head vigorously, "I don't know, I really don't know anything. She's crazy, she's been crazy for a long time, yes! She's crazy. Nanny Li has been with her for decades and is her confidant. I told her that Nanny Li was dead, but she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care at all. I just thought she was cruel and cold-blooded. I didn't expect that if I had known she had problems, I would never take her out no matter what."

Cen Mingzhu frowned unhappily, and patiently said to comfort him: "It has already happened, you should think about how to remedy it instead of shirking responsibility all the time."

"Remedy? How to remedy it?" Zhu was confused. Her mother was already dead and there was no way she could come back to life!

Cen Mingzhu persuaded him, "I need your help with something. If you help me, I will help you. Even if the Zhu family really can't forgive you and the Bai family has no place for you, I can still give you support, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu's eyes lit up instantly and she gradually calmed down. "Sister-in-law, just tell me what you need me to do. I will definitely do it for you."

This was exactly what Cen Mingzhu wanted, so she asked calmly, "You know your eldest brother has a mistress, right? How much do you know about this? I want you to tell me everything you know without leaving out a single word."

Zhu was shocked and wanted to refuse, but then she thought of her own situation and had to bite her teeth and tell everything she knew, "The servants serving Ke are from the same family. My husband just couldn't stand his servant, so my brother asked the servant and his family to leave. It was also because of the servant that my husband found out that my brother had a mistress and let her have a child.

Later, Cui took people to that yard to arrest someone, but unfortunately the person had already escaped and she came back empty-handed. After my eldest brother went to the battlefield, my mother did some things secretly. I don’t know what she did, but it should be related to that mistress.

Now that my mother is dead, all those things have become secrets, but I know where Shutong's hometown is, so I can go there for my sister-in-law."

This result made Cen Mingzhu unintentionally satisfied, but Zhu's attitude was good. Besides, she didn't want to have any grudges with Zhu Yixuan, so it would be a good idea to let Zhu come forward, so she agreed.

For the sake of her own future, Zhu dared not neglect it at all.

As soon as Cen Mingzhu left, she immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage to rush to Dongmen Village.

The weather in February was still very cold and the road was difficult to travel on. It took her two days to reach Dongmen Village. After asking where Su Chunsen's family was, she immediately asked the driver to take her there.

Seeing the large courtyards of every household along the way, she instinctively felt a little uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
