Xiao Lingyu was shocked that she had such thoughts at such a young age. She was really born to be an empress.
"Okay, okay, if you don't marry me, you marry me!"
Xiao Xier smiled and said, "Is this way I can always be with my parents?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Of course!"
Now I can only coax Xiao Xier, because she will know her life experience sooner or later.
Su Ningjie said, "Sister, when you marry your brother-in-law, we three brothers will support you, and he won't dare to bully you."
"Second brother, we still have our eldest brother. Even if my brother-in-law has a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to bully our sister."
"Second brother, third brother, you can't bully your brother-in-law!"
Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows, "How could that be? The three of us brothers will pamper him just as much as we pamper you!"
Xiao Xi'er counted on her fingers: "So in the future, I will have three more sisters-in-law, and you will have one more brother-in-law?"
"That's right, there will be three more sisters-in-law at home to spoil you and take care of your parents together."
Si family villa.
Si Chuyu had been waiting here for a long time, but he knew nothing about the situation in Lu Mansion.
"Brother, if you want to know what this thorny matter is, you should come here in person and let me interrogate the person."
"Ajin, you'll know once the people arrive. Are there any abnormalities with those twenty people?"
Si Chujin shook his head. "After that batch of goods was delivered, these twenty families went on a shopping spree. They went to all the shops of the Lu family and bought bedding, shoes, boots and other related items for the coming winter. They also ordered silver charcoal in advance."
Si Chuyu handed the most original information of the twenty people to Si Chujin.
"Look at them. They were all poor, distant relatives of the Cui and Luo families. They were peasants who could barely make ends meet."
Si Chujin took a quick look and asked, "How come there are no members of the Ye family?"
"Perhaps Lu Zeyu was not involved, but Lu Zeyi was involved in this matter."
"Brother, where did all this come from? With these, it will be much easier to interrogate them..."
The steward's voice rang out from outside the door, "Master, Ling Xiao, Wei Xiao and the others are bringing people over."
Si Chuyu quickly stood up and said, "Let's go, second brother."
"What's going on?"
Si Chuyu frowned when he saw Chen Ji in a miserable state with a broken arm.
Ling Xiao said, "Chen Ji injured Miss Lu Er, so Mr. Lu asked us to break his arm."
Si Chuyu's heart instantly rose to her throat, "How is Sister Yao'er now?"
"Miss Lu Er woke up before noon, and her old illness has not recurred."
Si Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me what happened last night?"
Ling Xiao recounted everything that happened last night.
Si Chujin said angrily: "Why didn't you send a message back in advance?"
"Second Master, please forgive me. It was Second Miss Lu who asked us to follow her instructions. She was worried that if you knew about this, the First Madam would also know about it. She didn't want to make the First Madam anxious."
Si Chuyu said: "Okay, fortunately nothing serious happened. Don't make the same mistake again next time. Wake him up."
"Uncle, wait."
"Wei Xiao, what do you want to say?"
Wei Xiao said, "When the Second Miss was interrogating Chen Ji today, she suddenly asked about the incident where the eldest master died during his journey. She suspected that the eldest master's death was not an accident."
Si Chuyu was shocked. How could she doubt this?
"What did Chen Ji say?"
"Chen Ji refused to admit it, and with just a few words, he dispelled the Second Miss's suspicions."
Si Chuyu: "Wake him up! Now that he's here, he has no choice but to confess!"
Si Chujin was confused. "Brother, what do you mean? What did you ask him to do? Was recruiting Master Lu not an accident? Was it man-made?"
“That’s right!”
Si Chujin couldn't believe this was true. Wouldn't that mean the Lu family's eldest wife would be in such a miserable state?!
"Brother, you must be mistaken. You investigated back then and found that Master Lu's incident was an accident..."
"Who are you? Let me go... Uncle? Second Master Si?"
When Chen Ji saw who was coming, he shrank back unconsciously.
"Please forgive me, I really didn't mean to hurt the Second Young Lady. I was just following orders."
Si Chuyu leaned over and pressed his left shoulder, "Tell the truth, or I'll cripple your left arm and make a perfect pair."
"Sir, what do you want me to confess? The Second Miss has already spared me. Please show mercy and let me go."
Si Chuyu said coldly: "Let you go? You didn't tell Lu Yao the truth, how can you expect me to let you go, huh?"
Chen Ji wanted to cry but had no tears. "I'm telling the truth. What else do you want me to say?"
Si Chuyu pulled out a murder warrant from his pocket and said, "Do you recognize this? Tell me, why did Lu Zeyi hire a killer back then?"
Chen Ji was immediately shocked. "How did this end up in your hands? Could it be that you've been suspicious for a long time and have been secretly investigating the Second Master?"
Si Chuyu said, "Ever since I learned that my mother-in-law was murdered by those two vicious women, I've had my suspicions, but I haven't found any useful clues. Fortunately, my wife took back the custody of Lu Zeyi and Lu Zeyu, and brought you to my attention!"
"So this was all planned in advance, waiting for me to get anxious and reveal my true intentions?!"
Si Chuyu snorted lightly, "Who would have thought that you, relying on your status as Lu Zeyi's confidant, would not only be able to use the Lu family's cards, but you also took away many of the Lu family's priceless items. These are enough to kill you several times. Think about your family. If you want to live, tell the truth!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chen Ji no longer had the energy to argue.
"Sir, I am willing to confess everything. Please let my family go. They don't know anything."
Si Chuyu said: "Don't worry, innocent people will not be implicated. I keep my word!"
