Chapter 489: The Fallen Purse

When Su Zhi heard what Liu Xiaosi said, she knew that the news he was going to tell was really important. She asked Liu Xiaosi to sit down and talk slowly, and asked someone to pour him tea.

Liu Xiaosi waved his hands and said, "Madam, don't be polite. I'd better tell you what I know. Otherwise, I will be uneasy. I'm always worried that you will be harmed by someone again. If the incident that night happens again, I will really be uneasy for the rest of my life!"

"What do you mean by that?! Is what you want to say related to what happened the night before?!"

When Shen Zian heard what Liu Xiaosi said, he stood up suddenly, staring at Liu Xiaosi closely, with a cold aura emanating from his whole body, which made Liu Xiaosi shudder with fear.

Mrs. Ye was also shocked. She knew that Brother Shen was extraordinary. But she had only seen him being a little cold before, and he was so gentle and considerate to his wife, so she didn't think he was scary. She didn't expect that he would be so angry. He was not a farmer at all. People would believe that he was a general who killed many people. He looked more like a general than her cousin Mu Chengzhi who became a general at a young age. If this murderous aura went to the battlefield, he would definitely be invincible!

Mrs. Ye now finally feels that the young couple of the Shen family are a perfect match. They are not just ordinary villagers, but a hidden couple dressed like gods!

"Fourth brother, don't get excited. Let this little brother talk slowly. Little brother, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't make us anxious."

Mrs. Ye advised Shen Zian, but she also urged Liu Xiaosi. She was also very anxious and wanted to know what Liu Xiaosi was going to say.

Liu Xiaosi said quickly, "I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now. Didn't I tell you last time that someone was asking about you? Later, I told you the truth as you told me. That person didn't respond at the time and went back. Then he never came back, and I thought I had scared him away. But on the night you had the accident, that person suddenly came to us again. I don't know what he said, but you had the accident that night, and our boss seemed to be very strange, as if he was restless. I wondered if this matter was related to yours. Our boss disappeared yesterday. I think he is hiding."

Su Zhi said: "Among those people, one has a red nose, one has a protruding chin, and one is very ordinary. But the look in his eyes is very annoying. I don't know if you know these people."

Liu Xiaosi immediately said, "I have indeed seen these people. They are not our boss's men, but I know them. Their eldest brother knows our boss. Maybe our boss thought this job was too dangerous. So he didn't use his own people to do it, and went to find someone else."

Shen Zian said: "Do you know the boss of those guys?"

Liu Xiaosi said: "I don't know him, but I know our boss has a good relationship with him. I think our boss disappeared this time because he was afraid that he was betrayed by that person."

Shen Zian said: "I'll have someone take you to meet those arrested people. See if the boss is among them."

Liu Xiaosi immediately nodded in agreement, but he immediately continued: "Master Shen, what I am talking about today is just one of the things. There is another thing that is more important than this. If it can be confirmed that our boss is really in cahoots with those bad guys, then this person is very likely the one who wants to harm Madam!"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Shen Zian's voice was not loud, but it was cold and stern.

Liu Xiaosi took something out of his pocket, held it in his palms and handed it over. It was a large purse, dark blue, with some black patterns embroidered on it. It was obviously used by a man, and this man was not a poor man, because poor people would not use purses. Moreover, it was made of silk, and the needlework on it was also very good.

"That person dropped this, and I picked it up quietly. I don't know who it is, but this purse is always a clue. Master and mistress must be able to find out who the owner of this purse is now."

Liu Xiaosi thought that his father and his wife were now the adoptive parents of the eldest prince, and they were all-powerful people. If they wanted to investigate a matter or a person, they would definitely find out. It was just a matter of time. For him, he was just one step ahead.

Liu Yin handed the purse to Shen Zian.

Shen Zian looked at it for a few times but didn't see anything, so he handed it to Liu Jin and asked him to keep it and give it to the person who was investigating the case later.

Finally, Shen Zian sent Liu Xiaosi away, gave him some money, asked him to move out of his residence, go find Liang Fu first, and then arranged a job for him.

Liu Xiaosi suggested taking his savior with him, and Shen Zian agreed. Shen Xiaosi left with many thanks. After all the hardships he had gone through in the past few days, he just wanted to live a peaceful life. He did not accept Su Zhi's kindness in arranging a job for him, but he would not do so this time because he still had a savior to take care of.

After sending Liu Xiaosi away, Shen Zian and Su Zhi were concerned about the clues to catch Su Zhi's murderer, but they still decided to go to the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion with Madam Ye. Having clues does not mean that the real murderer can be found immediately. It is also a troublesome thing to find the owner of a purse. Before that, they still have to do what they should do.

I took a carriage to the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion and went straight in.

It was already time for the morning court session. Marquis Zhongyi was already in the mansion, talking to Mu Chengzhi. When he heard that Madam Ye had arrived with Shen Zian and his wife, he also wanted to meet them. He had already heard Mu Chengzhi talk about Shen Zian's abilities, and also about Madam Shen's appearance. This made him want to meet the couple very much. Especially when he heard that Madam Shen actually looked a bit like his daughter who had been missing for several years, his heart suddenly beat violently. Thinking of that eldest daughter, he still felt sad. He loved that daughter no less than his wife, but men were more mentally tougher and were more secretive in hiding their sadness.

Now, hearing his son talk with such a nostalgic look about a woman who looked like his daughter, Mu Yongnian's heart also became excited. Although he knew that she was not his daughter, he still wanted to see her.

Mu Chengzhi was also looking forward to seeing Miss Shen again. He knew that she was not his sister, but just looked a bit like her. He still wanted to see her, as if he saw his sister. Although it was a bit self-deception, he just couldn't control this thought.

After instructing the person to be taken to the lady's residence, the father and son also went to the lady's residence.

"Father!"

As the father and son were walking, suddenly a clear and anxious voice rang out. It was Mu Weizhi. She ran over hurriedly. The weather was no longer hot, but sweat broke out on her forehead. When she saw Mu Yongnian, she was relieved and was glad that she had stopped him in time.

Mu Yongnian frowned slightly, looking at his second daughter, thinking that this daughter is so old, but still a little irritable, and he often heard others say that she was arrogant. But she thought he didn't know, and always pretended to be sensible in front of him, which made him slightly unhappy. In this comparison, he felt that the deceased eldest daughter was more obedient and lovely, and he was even more heartbroken for her death.

"What's the matter? You are not a child anymore. As a girl, you are still shouting so loudly. If others see you, they will think you are not dignified enough."

"Yes, my father taught me that I must not do this again next time."

Mu Weizhi immediately admitted her fault, but in her heart she was thinking that her father was really something. He just called him anxiously and said that she was not dignified enough. He was comparing her with that dead girl again? How disgusting! How could she, a living person, compare herself with a dead person?

"Dad, I'm so panicked because my aunt is feeling a little unwell. I thought I'd ask you to go see her, maybe she'll be fine."

Mu Weizhi said that in fact, Aunt Liu was fine, but they heard that Madam Ye brought the Shen family couple to the mansion today, so they didn't want the Marquis to see the little sister Zhao. Although they knew that as long as the little sister Zhao lived in the capital, they would eventually see her, they still wanted to stop her for a while.

Mu Chengzhi said on the side: "Why don't you ask a doctor if your aunt is not feeling well? Father is not a doctor and can't treat illnesses, so it's useless for him to go. Now my cousin has invited Madam Shen to treat my mother, and father is going there. If your aunt is sick, you should ask a doctor to see her. If you think the doctor can't cure her, you can ask Madam Shen to help. Madam Shen is a skilled doctor and can treat any strange disease. She even cured the second prince. I believe that your aunt's minor illness will be cured immediately!"

Mu Chengzhi was a little angry, so he was a little mean. He thought that his father was about to go to his mother's place, and his second sister came to stop him. How ignorant she was. Not comparing their status, but only their illness, could Aunt Liu's illness be as serious as his mother's? I heard that Aunt Liu went to the chrysanthemum garden to pick chrysanthemums in the morning, but now she said she was sick. Did she think she was a fool?

Mu Yongnian was also unhappy. He had no feelings for Aunt Liu. He took her in as a concubine only because of an accident. He felt sorry for her, so he treated her well. He provided her with good food, clothing, shelter and transportation. When his wife was sick, he also let her handle the food. But this did not mean that he cared about her, and it did not mean that he would change his path from going to his wife to going to her for her sake!

"Chengzhi is right. Let your aunt go to the Madam. I think her illness will be cured immediately!"

After Mu Yongnian said this, he walked past Mu Weizhi and left.

Mu Chengzhi glanced at Mu Weizhi and followed his father.

Mu Weizhi stamped her feet in hatred, thinking that she had failed to stop her father. Not only that, but she also made her father hate her, and even her mother hated her!

Aunt Liu also looked unhappy when she heard Mu Weizhi's reply. Finally, she stood up and walked out. The Marquis asked her to go, so she had to go. She also wanted to see what the Marquis and his wife's attitude would be when they saw Madam Shen. If the impact was too great, she would have to take further action!

What is owed will be made up slowly.
