They didn't have to wait long before the owner of Cai Lian Manor sent someone to pass on a message, asking them to open the door and let Li Huashi and the others in.

Cai Lian Manor is famous for its unique method of growing lotus. The lotus grown here is different in color from ordinary lotus and is extremely rare.

The unique lotus in Cailianzhuang has a very special name, called 'Liuguang Yuwan'.

Li Huashi took a few glances and found that they were indeed beautiful, but personally, she preferred the lotus flowers in the Lotus Pier of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.

After all, lotus is not only beautiful, but also has lotus roots and lotus seeds that are edible.

Mr. Guo, the owner of Cailian Manor, met with several people.

"Several distinguished guests from Dark Lake have suddenly visited us. I apologize for failing to welcome them in person."

Li Huashi directly stated her purpose: "We are here to look for someone. The Lion Soul came here ten years ago. I wonder if Master Guo knows the whereabouts of the other person."

Manor Master Guo looked puzzled: "Lion Soul? What Lion Soul?"

Di Feisheng: "There are six fingers on the right hand, burns on the body, and an ugly appearance."

Manor Master Guo paused for a moment, then said without hesitation: "I have never seen such a person, I am afraid I can't help you."

Li Huashi narrowed her eyes. This Manor Master Guo either had never seen it and knew nothing about it, or he was hiding something.

Just when Li Huashi was thinking about whether to torture him to extract a confession.

Li Lianhua brought the topic to the case of the bride's wedding dress, and used the identity of the Supervisory Department, the son of Shangshu Fang Duobing, to inquire about the case.

Li Huashi understood that Li Lianhua was planning to stay and look for clues on her own, so she didn't say anything.

Ten years ago, Mr. Guo remarried after his wife died, but unexpectedly, on the wedding day, the bride accidentally drowned.

The same thing happened seven years ago.

Seven years later, when his son got married, the same thing happened again. The bride accidentally drowned a few days ago.

He got married three times and three brides died.

It sounds like this family is cursed and is not allowed to remarry.

If the bride of Mr. Guo's son had not died, Li Huashi would have really suspected that Mr. Guo's original wife had died and was pestering him not to marry again.

But it doesn't make sense that the son of Mr. Guo got married and the bride died.

However, it is said that all three brides died wearing the same wedding dress.

Is it that the wedding dress is unlucky? Is there a ghost bride? The ghost bride does not allow other women to wear her wedding dress?

It's true. Cailian Manor doesn't look poor. They are so stingy that they don't even want to buy a new wedding dress.

Although the wedding dress was passed down from the ancestors of Mr. Guo, there is no rule that requires wearing that wedding dress when getting married, right?

Isn't it nice to collect it?

And most importantly, since it was passed down from ancestors, it proves that the clothes are very old and are second-hand clothes.

Newlyweds wearing hand-me-down clothes?

This sounds unlucky when it is said out loud. . .

Just as Li Huashi was daydreaming, a madman with a big red flower on his head, his clothes crookedly worn, and standing upside down crawled in.

He was still talking nonsense.

Through the explanation of Mr. Guo, they learned that the madman was his younger brother and had mental problems.

Li Huashi: I can tell...

Li Lianhua stayed under the pretext of appreciating the flowers, and owner Guo couldn't just chase them away, so he let them do as they pleased.

The servant took them to the location to appreciate the lotus and then left.

Li Huashi was curious: "Huahua, you don't want to investigate the case of the bride's wedding dress, do you?"

Li Lianhua: "If Manor Master Guo intends to conceal something, forcing him to answer may alert the enemy. This case first happened ten years ago, and Lion Soul also came here ten years ago. Anyway, there are no clues. It is better to use this case to find out what happened in Cailian Manor ten years ago. Maybe there is a connection between the two."

Li Huashi: "I'm not afraid of that. Tie up his son, cut his tendons, and threaten him. I don't believe he won't tell the truth."

Di Feisheng laughed and said, "I think this is a good idea."

Li Lianhua rubbed his brows as he looked at the two guys who were eager to create chaos in the world.

"What if what he said was false? What if he really didn't know?"

Li Huashi touched her nose guiltily and said, "Let's check it out first. If we can't find out anything, we can interrogate them later."

Li Lianhua smiled softly and pulled Li Huashi to the edge of the pond: "Don't you like lotus? This is a good opportunity to appreciate the lotus. The lotus in Cailian Manor is not found anywhere else."

Li Huashi couldn't help but blush.

Why do I feel that what Li Lianhua said is... a little provocative?

Li Lianhua: "Well, you don't like corpses. Fang Duobing and I will go to the place where the bride's body is placed to check and see if there are any useful clues. How about you stay here and enjoy the lotus?"

Li Huashi hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips reluctantly, and looked at Li Lianhua with grievance.

Although she likes Lianhua, she wants to stick to Li Lianhua more.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua said: "Then don't get impatient when you see the corpse later."

Li Huashi nodded quickly: "I'll stand further away and not disturb you."

Li Lianhua chuckled. He was used to Li Huashi's clinginess and didn't mind it at all.

Just like that, the group split into two groups. Di Feisheng went to look for clues left by the Lion Soul, while Li Lianhua went to check the bride's body.

When Li Lianhua was examining the bride's body, she unexpectedly let Di Feisheng find the clue left by the Lion Soul.

It was a painting of a lotus leaf with Lion Soul calligraphy, which was found in the backyard of the first bride.

Fang Duobing could actually recognize that the ink on the drawing paper was from ten years ago. Li Huashi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It turned out that this guy had some skills...

Based on the letter Qiao Wanwan received, several people speculated that the Lion Soul may have disappeared ten years ago.

Regarding the fact that Mr. Guo said he had never seen a lion soul, but there were lion soul handwriting in the backyard, Mr. Guo explained that ten years ago, Madam Xu, the first bride to die, saved an injured person.

However, Mr. Guo said that the man stayed in Cailian Manor for two or three days and then left. As for where he went, Mr. Guo said he really didn't know.

Li Huashi blinked: It sounds a bit strange that Master Guo doesn't know one moment and knows the next.

Coupled with the three cases of brides drowning in the past ten years, Li Huashi felt that there must be something wrong with Cai Lian Manor.

Li Huashi was eager to make a move and blinked at Li Lianhua expectantly.

Li Huashi: Tie him up? Tie him up! Torture him to extract a confession! Torture him to extract a confession!

Li Lianhua: . . .

Li Lianhua calmed the eager Li Huashi with her eyes, and used the excuse that she was not used to living in a noisy inn. Also, because Cai Lian Manor only entertained literati and poets, she exchanged a poem about lotus for a night's stay in Cai Lian Manor.

Although Master Guo knew that Li Lianhua and the others were still on guard against him, he did not dare to refuse.

Thinking that Baichuan Academy had not found any problems in the past ten years, they would not be able to find any this time, so he agreed.

Even Master Guo had already thought it through. Since the people in Dark Lake were greedy for money, he was willing to spend money to avoid disaster even if they really found out the truth.
