If he didn't trust Tong, the shopkeeper, Yu Wen wouldn't have told him everything when he went to see him. Yu Tang's investigation of Wei Xiaoshan was very unusual in the eyes of ordinary people, but Yu Wen was actually very proud. He felt that if his daughter who stayed at home couldn't support the family, even if he invited a live-in son-in-law to come in, he would just have children, spread out, and inherit the Yu family name. Once the couple passed away, Yu Tang might not be able to control her son-in-law and children well, and then Yu Tang would still suffer.

Tong Da Zhang Gui asked him if Yu Tang knew about Wei Xiao Shan. He hesitated for a few seconds and then told Tong Da Zhang Gui frankly: "Yes. And she was the one who found something wrong. She was also the one who tried to investigate Xiao Shan's case."

Tong, the shopkeeper, was extremely surprised, but after thinking carefully, this little girl dared to come to the shop opened by the Pei family to show him off, so she couldn't be a coward. After being surprised, he laughed and said to Yu Wen: "You are different from others." Then he thought of Wei Xiaoshan's death and couldn't help but feel sorry for the child. But Wei Xiaoshan is no longer here, and saying such things will only make people more sad. Thousands of words turned into a sigh, saying: "It is also a blessing for Xiaoshan that he died without injustice."

But if they hadn't met Atang from their family, they wouldn't have suffered this disaster, right?

At this moment, Yu Wen suddenly understood Yu Tang's feelings and why Yu Tang would take such a great risk to find out the truth about Wei Xiaoshan's death.

Thinking that this was the daughter he had raised, he could not help but straighten his back and discuss with Tong Daguangui: "You are knowledgeable, so you will naturally praise her like this. I am afraid that..." Master Pei San did not think so. Yu Wen thought in his heart that it was not good to criticize Pei Yan in front of Tong Daguangui, so he could only say tactfully: "Haven't many people said recently that 'women without talent are virtuous'?"

Tong, the shopkeeper, didn't understand Pei Yan's opinion on this. He was slightly stunned and said, "Don't worry, I will consider how to tell the Third Elder when I see him."

Yu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Tong, the shopkeeper, replied to Pei Yan: "Ms. Yu knows about this. The Yu family feels very sorry for the Wei family, so they have been secretly investigating this matter."

Pei Yan is practicing calligraphy.

Slightly yellowed rice paper is spread on the long nanmu desk, white camellias are placed in the vase, and Xiangfei bamboo brushes are hung neatly on the rosewood landscape brush holder, revealing the remoteness of time in its simplicity.

"So, Miss Yu also agrees to ask me to be the middleman?" He leisurely copied the last stroke, placed the pen in his hand on the pen holder on the desk, took the hot towel handed to him by the little servant A Ming, wiped his hands, and said casually.

The shopkeeper Tong was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

The Yu family's affairs are naturally decided by Yu Wen. Whose daughter can surpass her father to show up in public? But according to the Third Elder, this matter still depends on Miss Yu's opinion.

Although the Third Elder had just taken over the Pei Family, he was the head of the Pei Family after all. The Yu Family was grateful to him for being the go-between. Miss Yu was a girl, how could she dare to have any objection? Even if Miss Yu had any objection, would the Third Elder still let Miss Yu do what she wanted?

Shopkeeper Tong was a little confused as to what this was all about.

Pei Yan looked at it and smiled knowingly.

It is estimated that the shopkeeper Tong has no idea what kind of person Miss Yu is. No wonder, apart from him, how many people can repeatedly encounter Miss Yu when she is doing something weird?

Without waiting for Tong Daguan to understand, he continued, "The Li family failed to propose marriage and harmed the person she was dating. The Yu family did not report to the authorities, but asked me to be the middleman. Have they ever thought about what the result will be?"

Apart from other things, at least most of the gentry in Lin'an City would know about this. Even if this was the fault of the Li family, most people would put the blame on the woman, thinking that if the woman had not been restrained, how could she have caused the man to be jealous? It would be very difficult for Miss Yu to marry into such a family or a family with a marriage relationship with them in the future.

Now the shopkeeper Tong understood.

He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He said, why did the Third Master act as a middleman for the Yu family? It didn't matter what Master Yu meant, but he wanted to ask what Miss Yu meant?

It turned out that they were worried that Miss Yu was too young to know the seriousness of the matter.

As long as the Third Elder does not misunderstand that Miss Yu is indifferent to what the Li family does, it will be fine.

Tong, the shopkeeper, said hurriedly, "From what Master Yu said, this matter should have been reported to the authorities, but you also know that Magistrate Tang doesn't like to be in charge of things. They are afraid... that the real murderer will get away unscathed and at large without anyone knowing."

In other words, the Yu family knew that even if there was evidence proving that the Li family had ordered the murder, it would be difficult to bring the murderer to justice if they asked him to act as a middleman.

After all, the Li family only has two sons. If this matter was instigated by Li Jun, it would be easy to deal with. But if it was instigated by Li Duan, the Li family would rather let Li Jun take the blame than let Li Duan be brought to justice.

Ah Ming came in with some tea and snacks.

Pei Yan invited the shopkeeper Tong to have tea, and then he slowly sat down on the armchair behind the large desk, picked up the pen again, and said, "Then I will be the middleman."

Manager Tong didn't expect Pei Yan to agree like this. He was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank Pei Yan.

Pei Yan smiled and said, "Don't thank me so early. I hope the Yu family won't blame me later."

"How could that be!" said Tong, the shopkeeper, anxiously. "Master Yu knows all the details of this, otherwise he wouldn't have come to you for help. Master Yu told me that he doesn't ask for any results from this matter, but only hopes that everyone can know what the Li family has done."

Pei Yan nodded and said with a smile: "That's no problem."

Tong, the shopkeeper, thanked him again and again, and as he left, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Yu doesn't know how to deal with this situation now. Before you act as a middleman, you have to give some instructions to the Wei family!"

Pei Yan suddenly became curious and told Pei Man, "Watch it carefully and let me know when the time comes."

Pei Man agreed, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

He used to be the steward of the Third Elder, and he only took care of the important matters around the Third Elder. Even the chief steward who died before could not take care of him because of the Third Elder's power. After the Third Elder succeeded to the position of the clan leader, he took over the job of the chief steward on the surface, but in reality he still focused on the matters around the Third Elder. The Third Elder's eyes were never on this small Lin'an City.

Since when did an ordinary family's trivial matters fall into his hands?

Pei Man shook his head. Although he was full of doubts, he still sent people to keep an eye on the Yu family with all his heart and diligence.

Yu Wen was indeed having a headache about how to tell the Wei family about this matter, but he didn't expect that it was Wei Xiaochuan who broke the deadlock - he told his parents the truth about Wei Xiaoshan's death.

Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei were heartbroken. When they first heard the news, they felt regretful and thought that it would have been better if they had not discussed the marriage with Yu Tang in the first place. But when they came to their senses, they were ashamed of the little regret they had just felt.

The Yu family is also a victim.

Who in their right mind would kill someone just because their marriage proposal failed?

Thinking about it this way, I feel even more that Yu Tang and the Yu family are good people. Not only did they not worry about hiding their daughter's reputation after the incident, they also actively investigated the murderer and found ways to punish the murderer.

After scolding the Li family, the couple discussed with red eyes and felt that they could not let the Yu family handle this matter alone. It was fine if they didn't know the cause of their son's death, but now that they knew, they should work together with the Yu family to seek justice from the Li family.

Mr. Wei told his eldest son Wei Xiaoyuan about this, and then took Wei Xiaochuan to the Yu family.

When Yu Wen saw Mr. Wei, he was so ashamed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He apologized to Mr. Wei with a red face.

Grandpa Wei had just cried, and with red eyes he comforted Yu Wen: "Your family never expected to encounter such a crazy family. Is your daughter okay? She must be the saddest after such a thing happened. Tell her that we are all reasonable people in our family and we will not blame her. Let her feel at ease to visit us."

What else does Yu Wen have to say?

Yu Tang said that he had been obediently listening to his punishment and writing well these two days, but his expression was always gloomy, and he must have felt very uncomfortable. Now the Wei family came to comfort Yu Tang despite the pain of losing their son... He bowed deeply to Mr. Wei.

Grandpa Wei hurriedly helped Yu Wen up, thinking to himself, how pitiful the love of parents is, and suddenly he felt closer to Yu Wen than ever before. He decided to do a good deed to the end, and told Wei Xiaochuan: "Xiaowu, I think you should go and talk to your sister from the Yu family."

Wei Xiaochuan frowned, nodded seriously, and went to find Yu Tang.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he knew Pei Yan agreed to be the middleman.

Now that it has been confirmed that the Li family was responsible, she will not let it go.

Since she couldn't deal with the Li family openly, she did it secretly.

But now we still don't know who in the Li family came up with the idea to kill Wei Xiaoshan? And the map of the world, the Li family in the previous life must have got it, otherwise they couldn't have suddenly started a maritime business.

They will never succeed in this life!

Yu Tang began to recall his past life in detail.

For example, what did the nephews and nieces from Lin's mother's family say and what happened when they visited the Li family, which families did the Li family send holiday gifts to, and which wives and madams did Lin have close relations with.

These seemingly trivial things can tell her about the Li family's network of relationships, allowing her to unravel the mystery and find the reasons for the Li family's success in the previous life.

Now the first thing is the map.

After Yu Tang finished practicing the big characters he was supposed to practice that day, he spread out the picture of carriages on his desk and examined it carefully.

She didn't hear Wei Xiaochuan knocking on the door several times until he called her outside. Then she came to her senses and opened the door.

"Sister, are you okay?" He was afraid that his sadness would make his parents feel worse, so he had been holding back his tears. When he saw Yu Tang, who was in cahoots with him and whom he thought was very powerful, he finally burst into tears and choked up, "Everyone in my family knows about it. We'll go to Pei's house with your family when the time comes."

It was the first time that Yu Tang saw Wei Xiaochuan crying like a child. She couldn't help but touch his head with some heartache and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "We are going to judge, not to fight. What do we need so many people for?"

She intuitively felt that Pei Yan was not a person who liked to be lively.

"I'm surprised that Master Pei San can help us this time." She said bitterly, "We'll just listen to him when the time comes."

In his previous life, Pei Yan seemed to have only acted as a go-between for others two or three times, but he was praised every time, which shows that he was a very fair person.
