Chapter 96 Entering the Su Family Ancestral Hall
Su Yuheng frowned and asked, "You said Su Yuhuan is dead?"
Bai Lu nodded and said, "The body is still in Prince Xin's mansion. Prince Xin's mansion won't let our Su family take the body back."
"When Madam Su got the news, she and the lady had already rushed over."
Su Yuheng's body stiffened slightly. She didn't expect Su Yuhuan to die so soon.
"Where are the Crown Prince and Liu Jinshu?"
Bai Lu said, "The prince is still busy with official business and hasn't returned home yet. My cousin has also gone to Prince Xin's mansion."
"Miss, are we going to Prince Xin's mansion?"
Su Yuheng shook his head: "No need to go. There will be no good results if you go."
"Su Yuhuan is now a member of Prince Xin's mansion. It's impossible for Liu to drag her body back. Prince Xin's wife is extremely fierce. There might be another big fight."
She glanced at the sky outside and said calmly, "I have more important things to do."
As Su Yuheng spoke, she stood up from the bronze mirror and began to dress up.
After washing up, Su Yuheng prepared to go to Prince Li's Mansion to see how Yu Zhen was doing.
These past few days, things in the mansion have been particularly complicated, completely delaying Yu Zhen's affairs.
Su Yuheng changed his clothes and took Bai Lu to Fangfei Garden, and the maid Bai Zhi hurried over.
"Miss, someone from the Yanjing government office has arrived. They said they suspect the Marquis is missing from our Su family and have come to investigate."
Su Yuheng frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not simple.
Could it be that Madam Su knew something?
"Where are the people from the Yanjing government office now?"
Bai Zhi said, "In front of the mansion gate."
"Miss, the prince is still busy with official business, and the mistress and the old lady have gone to Prince Xin's mansion. I'm afraid you have to come forward."
Su Yuheng had no expression on his face.
I had originally planned to go to Prince Li’s Mansion today, but I didn’t expect that people from the Yanjing government office would come.
"Go call Linglong." Su Yuheng said.
"Yes, miss."
When Su Yuheng returned to the room, Linglong was already there.
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
Su Yuheng looked at her and said, "Let's go to Prince Li's Mansion. The last time the prince came, he told me that he had found the Nanhai craftsman. Since people from the Yanjing government office have come to our Su family to do business, the nine-linked ring formation in the ancestral hall must be solved."
Linglong clasped her fists and said, "Yes, Miss."
After Linglong left, Su Yuheng and Bai Lu hurried to the gate of the Su family mansion, and a maid came to report.
"Miss, the people from the government office investigating the case are now in the front hall of the Su family, and the prince has also returned."
"The Crown Prince and Mr. Liu from the Yanjing government office are talking in the front hall."
"Su Yanqiu is back so soon." Su Yuheng murmured in a low voice.
She changed direction and headed towards the front hall of the Su family. She heard a very cold voice from afar.
"Master Liu, who told you that my father is in the Su family?"
"My father, Marquis Dingbei, has been missing in Cangzhou for a year. How can Lord Liu prove that my father is in the Su family?"
Su Yanqiu's cold words were heard, and Su Yuheng walked in. He saw Su Yanqiu holding a teacup, which was almost shattered in his hand.
After seeing Su Yuheng come in, Su Yanqiu glanced at her and then looked at Lord Liu.
Lord Liu said, "Please ask the prince to have my men search the Su family for a few things so that I can return and report back."
Su Yanqiu snorted coldly: "This prince will not allow it."
"This Marquis's Mansion can't be searched as you please. Lord Liu should at least be diligent in his work with evidence. Just based on someone else's words, Lord Liu is leading people to search the entire Su family's inner courtyard. I'm afraid there's no such rule in the Imperial City of Yanjing."
"I don't know who told Lord Liu that my father, Marquis Dingbei, is staying at the Su family?"
Lord Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Yanqiu coldly, and sneered: "Sir, the person who informed me is one of your Su family's own people."
"It's a nanny, about forty or fifty years old, surnamed Zhang."
After Lord Liu finished speaking, Su Yanqiu's hands suddenly tightened and his eyes became sharp.
"Madam Zhang?"
"Can you really take the words of a cunning slave seriously?"
Lord Liu said, "No matter who said it, I will only report it after I find a clue. I beg you not to embarrass me, Your Highness."
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing at this moment, and Su Yanqiu's cold eyes fell on Lord Liu.
Su Yuheng sat on the side, looking at Lord Liu and Su Yanqiu meaningfully.
"Prince." A doorman hurried in from outside the hall and walked in front of Su Yanqiu.
"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Li has arrived. He said he is here to assist Lord Liu with his case."
Su Yanqiu frowned and was about to get up from his chair when he saw a tall figure appear in front of everyone.
The man was dressed in a black robe with golden silk python threads, and there was an unfathomable coldness in his brows.
When he came in, his eyes fell on Su Yuheng. Seeing the girl with her head down, drinking tea from a cup, he then looked away.
"Prince Su, are you trying to stop Lord Liu from doing his work?"
Su Yanqiu stood up and said, "Your Highness, that is not my intention. It is just that it is inappropriate for Lord Liu to come and search our Su family without any evidence."
Huo Xingzhi casually sat down on a chair in the royal hall and said coldly, "What's wrong with that? Lord Liu will know whether Marquis Dingbei is at the Su family or not with just a search. What is Prince Su afraid of by trying to stop him?"
"I am not afraid."
"Since you are not afraid, let me take Lord Liu and thoroughly investigate this Su family's inner courtyard."
"Prince Su is a smart man. He knows the consequences of hindering the work of the Yanjing government office."
Su Yanqiu's face turned pale, and he always felt that Huo Xingzhi came prepared today.
But if their people searched the Su family ancestral hall, it might be inappropriate.
However, he set up a nine-linked formation in the ancestral hall that no one could open.
Thinking of this, Su Yanqiu curled his lips and sneered, "Then please."
"However, I did not know that His Royal Highness Prince Li was actually concerned about this case."
Huo Xingzhi's handsome eyebrows slightly frowned, and he looked at him with a smile.
"Marquis Dingbei is a powerful figure, so naturally, this prince is very concerned."
"Since Prince Su has agreed, I will take Lord Liu to the Su family's inner courtyard."
After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he stood up from his chair.
Su Yanqiu also got up from his chair and took Lord Liu and a group of guards to the Su family's backyard.
When Huo Xingzhi left, he happened to pass by Su Yuheng.
He stretched out his slender fingers among the crowd and gently hooked her chin.
Su Yuheng raised her eyes and met his smiling eyes.
He went to the Su family's backyard as if nothing had happened.
She stood up from the chair and looked at Bai Lu.
"Let's go too."
"Yes, miss."
The group hurried to the Su family's backyard, and Huo Xingzhi took a few guards and deliberately walked around the Su family garden a few times.
Then he led his men into the Su family ancestral hall.
