Chapter 515 Is Luo'er Jealous? A-Shi is secretly delighted!

However, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice had already surrounded the entire Jiang family.

The fact that Master Jiang suddenly went mad and killed more than a dozen people is no small matter.

Moreover, among the dead and injured, half were members of the Jiang family, and the other half were servants of various officials and prominent families who came to celebrate Madam Jiang's birthday today, including four who were masters.

This matter is too strange, but it is impossible to keep hundreds of guests and servants locked up in the Jiang family.

Therefore, before leaving the Jiang family's gate, all departing guests had to sign their names so that the case could be investigated in the future and each family could be identified.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi walked together. They were just ordinary merchants with unremarkable backgrounds except for their appearances.

So after signing my name, I was quickly waved away and told to leave immediately.

The two met up with the carriage that Sha San and the others had brought two streets away.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Granny Zheng and Wu Quan returned with the news.

"Your Highness, Miss, we've found out. The four masters who were implicated and killed were, respectively, the second legitimate daughter of the Cai family, the wife of the Wang family, the illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family, and the most important person—Lady Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan."

"Coincidentally, this Zhang is the elder sister of the second prince consort."

Li Qingluo: "Zhang Tingjiu? (This character is pronounced with the third tone in this text)"

It was quite a coincidence that they were related to someone they knew.

The streets were bustling with activity at that moment.

Everyone was talking about the major event that had happened to the Jiang family today.

Moreover, the Marquis of Dingyuan family had obviously received the news and was now rushing towards the Jiang family with several other families, looking anxious and distressed.

Li Qingluo peeked out through the gap in the carriage curtain.

She lowered the carriage curtain only after the two sides had completely separated.

"Ah Shi, it's a Gu poison."

She recounted how she and Que'er had encountered Jiang Shisan Niang outside the washroom.

"Moreover, this Jiang Shisan Niang is definitely a problem!"

Duan Rongshi had already brought over clean clothes for Li Qingluo to change into.

After throwing away the blood-stained and smelly outer garment, Que'er immediately put it away.

After tying their belts, the two continued their conversation.

Duan Rongshi: "Luo'er, tell me what you're doubting."

Li Qingluo: "First of all, there was just too much blood on her body."

"If it were just her personal maid's perfume, it shouldn't have been sprayed all over her. It looks more like she was standing opposite the dead person and the perfume was sprayed directly on her."

"If it was just that she happened to be standing opposite the deceased and got the blood on her, then it's even more inexcusable."

“The old woman who chased her was big and strong, and it took Que'er a lot of effort to kill her.”

"If she was standing so close to the deceased, how did she manage to escape from his clutches and run all the way to the washroom?"

"Along the way, we also saw the corpses of several maids and nannies. If the nanny who was chasing her had killed someone else halfway through, shouldn't she have hidden herself away long ago?"

“But we observed that the distance between her and that old woman was only about twenty paces.”

Duan Rongshi: "You suspect that the bloodstains on her body are from someone she killed while she was at it?"

"And was she deliberately trying to lead that old woman to wander around the backyard?"

"Luo'er, is she targeting you?"

Li Qinglu shook her head: "That's not it. I don't know her at all. It was just a coincidence that she met me and Que'er."

"However, what caught my attention was her cold attitude toward her father."

Duan Rongshi: "What do you mean?"

Li Qingluo: "I heard a lot of interesting secrets about the major families in Nan'an in the restaurant. Among them, I also heard about the Jiang family."

"This Third Master Jiang is the old lady's third son. Because of his birth, the old master Jiang was promoted in his official position, so the old lady and the old master Jiang doted on this youngest son."

"But as he was spoiled, this Third Master Jiang became somewhat spoiled."

"Although he also obtained an official position after growing up, compared to the eldest son, he was mediocre, incompetent, and had a bad temper."

"Moreover, he favored his concubine over his wife."

"The laws of the Great Chu are not as lenient towards the principal wife as those of the Great Liang. If a wife sues her husband, she will always face death."

“In the Great Chu, there is no divorce, only separation from one’s wife. Moreover, a woman who is separated from her husband cannot remarry. When she returns to her parents’ home, she usually either hangs herself or is despised and scorned by the world until she becomes depressed and unhappy.”

"This Third Master Jiang's wife suffered endless humiliation because he favored his concubine over his wife. It is said that she hanged herself from the locust tree outside the concubine's room in the middle of the night."

"After her death, this concubine was immediately promoted to the position of official wife by Master Jiang."

"The daughter left behind by the first wife is Jiang Shisan Niang, while the son is being raised by the concubine and is said to have become somewhat spoiled."

Li Qinglu thought of the woman and the three children she had seen earlier that day.

The concubine was born with a delicate and beautiful appearance. She would cry and wail whenever something happened, and she would even bring her child with her to get close to Master Jiang.

Where is the mind of a legal wife?

The three children are two girls and one boy.

That one must be Jiang Shisan Niang's younger brother.

Therefore, this concubine gave birth to two daughters.

That's why he raised Jiang Shisan Niang's younger brother by his side.

Li Qingluo: "Although Jiang Shisan Niang looked extremely afraid of death and anxiously called out 'Father,' she didn't show any intention of going over to him at all."

"But after Master Jiang was knocked unconscious, I observed that her eyes were extremely cold."

"He showed none of the fear or apprehension he had shown before."

"Most importantly, at this critical juncture, she still has the intention to focus her attention on you."

At this point, Li Qinglu felt a surge of anger rising in her heart.

It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing you.

Duan Rongshi was stunned for a moment.

Are you jealous?

"Just because she glanced at me a few times?"

A feeling of bliss welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but pull Li Qingluo into his arms again.

"Luo'er, I'm very happy."

He was happy that he noticed other women were paying attention to him.

This joy had nothing to do with anyone else; it was simply because Li Qingluo cared about him so much.

Although he disliked Jiang Shisan Niang's gaze.

But Li Qingluo's concern made Duan Rongshi feel as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

Li Qinglu cupped his face in her hands, "You're not allowed to attract any more attention, do you hear me?"

"If you dare to bring me a concubine and then favor her over your wife, Duan Rongshi, I will never let you go in this lifetime!"

Although she used to think that at worst she could just leave and stay away from the world like her grandmother.

Even if she can't get a divorce from Da Chu, can't she go back to Da Liang and get a divorce there?

However, after consummating their marriage, her thoughts completely changed.

If she is wronged, she will never let him get away with it!

Although Duan Rongshi would never do such a thing.

At this moment, she firmly believed that he only had eyes for her.

But who can say for sure what will happen in this world?

She never doubted his sincerity, but sincerity can change in an instant.

Duan Rongshi was stung by her gaze.

"Luo'er, the 'what ifs' in this world will not happen to me, Duan Rongshi."

"Otherwise, may I suffer a terrible death in this life."

"Life after life, they will be reborn as animals and will not be worthy of being human."
