Chapter 4 The Magistrate's Eldest Daughter
After Luo Yan's death, Magistrate Luo suspected and investigated many people, including Luo Yan's cousin, her best friend, and Li Xiucai, who had some connection with Luo Yan.
But he never doubted Luo Xi at all.
After all, Luo Xi had absolutely no motive to kill Luo Yan.
Luo Xi is his legitimate daughter, and she has no reason to go after someone who is inferior to her in every way.
Moreover, Luo Xi has everything that Luo Yan has. Luo Xi also has things that Luo Yan doesn't have.
However, the magistrate of Los Angeles County still symbolically ordered someone to investigate.
In the end, naturally, nothing was found.
After all, Su Yan handled the matter of hiring a hitman to kill someone all by herself; no one else was involved.
Su Yan is always cautious in her actions; she will not leave any trace.
Two months later.
As Magistrate Luo investigated, his investigation eventually led him to Aunt Yun (Luo Yan's biological mother).
He discovered that Aunt Yun's cousin had sent her a letter, the words of which were extremely ambiguous.
Magistrate Luo stared at the letter in his hand, and he couldn't help but suspect that Luo Yan was not his biological daughter.
Frost Painting Academy.
The magistrate of Luo County walked in with a gloomy face.
Seeing Magistrate Luo like this, Aunt Yun cautiously went to greet him.
"Master, who made you angry? Yan'er's..."
Before she could finish speaking, Magistrate Luo interrupted her, staring at Aunt Yun and asking in an icy tone, "Whose child is Luo Yan with?"
Aunt Yun was puzzled.
"Master, what are you saying? Yan'er is your daughter."
Magistrate Luo: "Still lying to me?"
He threw the letter he was holding at her.
Aunt Yun looked at the familiar letter and was filled with panic.
"No, sir, please listen to me, I... This letter was indeed sent to me by my cousin, but I didn't reply, I really didn't reply. I haven't been in contact with him since I entered the manor."
She and her cousin were in love before.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be apart.
After she entered the manor, she indeed lost contact with him.
The magistrate of Luo County did not believe it.
He pondered for a moment, then sent someone to fetch one of Luo Yan's bones, intending to use bone-dropping to verify their kinship.
An hour later, Magistrate Luo cut his finger with a dagger and dripped blood onto the bone. His blood couldn't penetrate the bone at all. Therefore, Luo Yan was not his daughter at all.
Magistrate Luo never expected that he had been raising Luo Yan for someone else for over a decade for nothing.
In the end, Aunt Yun was beaten to death with sticks, and her cousin also died.
That letter was indeed written to her by Aunt Yun's cousin.
Because he had become addicted to gambling and ran out of money, he thought of Aunt Yun.
In fact, Luo Yan is the biological daughter of Magistrate Luo.
As for the bone-dropping test for kinship? Those bones weren't Luo Yan's at all, because Luo Xi had already had her body switched on the day of Luo Yan's burial.
Therefore, this attempt to identify relatives by dropping a bone was destined to fail.
Luo Xi will not let Aunt Yun live.
After all, Aunt Yun is Luo Yan's biological mother.
She and Luo Yan went to Ninggu Temple together.
Now, she is alive, while Luo Yan is dead.
Luo Xi didn't believe that Aunt Yun didn't hate her.
She didn't want a potential enemy living in the same mansion as her, nor would she give Aunt Yun any chance to harm her.
Only when Aunt Yun dies can she be completely at ease.
Moreover, Luo Xi did not believe that Aunt Yun was unaware of the jade pendant.
Actually, she didn't want it to be so complicated.
She originally intended to poison them, to kill them outright.
However, she is now the housekeeper in the mansion.
If they died from poisoning, she would be highly suspicious. Moreover, it would raise doubts about her housekeeping abilities.
Finally, Aunt Yun died.
The people in her courtyard also died, because Magistrate Luo suspected that they were all aware of the situation.
Magistrate Luo also stopped investigating the cause of Luo Yan's death.
After all, Luo Yan wasn't his daughter, so he wouldn't bother having people continue investigating.
