Chapter 032 She Knows Where the Account Book Is

Su Wan'er had thought about it carefully. After she got married, she seldom went back to her parents' home. When she did go back, she spent most of her time with her mother. How could her father tell her such an important thing as the account book?

The reason why she knew about the wrong things her father had done was because he spoke the truth after drinking.

"No, really not."

Zong Zheng Lianqi looked at Su Wan'er, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he sighed and replied "OK".

"Prince, the prince and princess are still waiting for your reply." Zong Zheng Lianqi's words had just fallen when the voice of the housekeeper outside was heard.

He was responsible for sending Zong Zheng Lian Qi over and eavesdropping on their conversation.

Knowing that Zong Zheng Lianqi was leaving, Su Wan'er showed a look of reluctance. In fact, Zong Zheng Lianqi was also reluctant to leave, but the housekeeper kept urging him, so he had no choice but to let go of Su Wan'er's hand.

The door closed again, and Su Wan'er fell back onto the stool in pain.

"Wan'er said that Su Qian never told her where the account book was." After returning, Zong Zheng Lianqi told Prince Ning the truth.

Prince Ning was not surprised to hear Zong Zheng Lianqi say this, as if he had expected this result.

The Su family had been searched thoroughly by several waves of people, including Ning Wang's men. Su's mother was also threatened and tempted to ask many questions, but she always said that she didn't know where her husband put the account book.

Prince Ning believed that Su Mu and Su Wan'er were not lying. He could only say that Su Qian was too cunning and scheming, and even his wife and daughter were on guard against him.

"Dad..." Zong Zheng Lianqi looked at his father who had a cold expression on his face and said, "How about I ask Wan'er again tomorrow? Maybe she can remember some details."

After returning, Zong Zheng Lianqi remembered that he was so busy asking questions that he forgot to tell Wan'er about her parents' recent situation. Wan'er must be very worried about them.

Prince Ning glanced at him sideways, "Didn't you act very stubborn before and said you didn't want to go?"

Zongzheng Lianqi: "..."

Seeing his eldest son's useless appearance, Prince Ning was furious. He took several deep breaths before he suppressed the urge to kill him. He said, "You'd better pray that Su Wan'er can remember something. Otherwise, not only will the Su family be in trouble, but our Prince Ning's Mansion will also be in trouble."

What Prince Ning said was scary, but it was also true.

Previously, the students of the Imperial College had caused a commotion at the instigation of the aristocratic families, demanding that the emperor severely punish Su Qian and those who cheated in order to maintain the dignity of the scholars.

If this matter is not handled properly, it can easily damage the reputation of the royal family.

Don’t offend scholars, because their pens are no joke.

Zong Zheng Lianqi went to see Su Wan'er for the next few days. The two of them only had time to meet for a cup of tea. Zong Zheng Lianqi told Su Wan'er what he had found out about her parents, and then asked Su Wan'er for clues about the account book.

But Su Wan'er's answer every time was "I don't know".

Until this night, Zong Zheng Lianqi, who was about to go look for Su Wan'er, suddenly received a piece of news - Su's mother had died.

Because several forces were keeping an eye on Su's mother, everyone thought she was safe. But in the evening, someone found her lying in her room with blood coming out of her mouth. After examination, it was discovered that she had died of poisoning.

It is still unclear whether he killed himself or committed suicide. It is said that before Su's mother died, she was holding a wooden figurine in her hand. It was Su Wan'er's childhood toy. At that time, Su's mother probably missed him by seeing the figurine.

Zong Zheng Lianqi looked in the direction of Su Wan'er's room and felt his feet become heavy and he couldn't take a step forward.

He just told Su Wan'er yesterday that Su's mother was still alive and well. How sad would she be if he suddenly told her that her mother had died of poisoning?

However, things had already happened and it was impossible to keep it a secret from Su Wan'er for the rest of her life. After careful consideration, Zong Zheng Lianqi decided to tell her the news.

Su Wan'er was already exhausted both physically and mentally. She had only gradually gotten better with Zong Zheng Lianqi's company over the past few days. But then she received the tragic news of her mother's death. She was so anxious that she fainted.

After all, human life was at stake, and Prince Ning did not stop his son from finding a doctor for Su Wan'er.

After drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Su Wan'er fell into a coma for a few hours before waking up.

The first thing she said when she woke up was, "There's no way my mother would commit suicide."

Although her father was imprisoned, he was not at his wit's end. Her mother was usually an optimistic person and would not commit suicide so easily.

Moreover, according to Zong Zheng Lianqi, her mother has been under surveillance by several groups of people recently. If she goes to buy poison, those people will definitely find out.

So the truth is obvious, someone harmed her!

Su Wan'er begged King Ning to allow her to go back to see her mother off for the last time. Now that Su Qian was still in prison, she was the only daughter who could take care of the funeral.

There was a reason for this. Prince Ning agreed and not only asked Zong Zheng Lianqi to accompany her home, he also sent a number of servants to go with them. Although the actual purpose was to monitor the two of them, it still gave the Su family enough face.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, no matter what mistakes Su's father made, Su Wan'er was always the daughter-in-law of Ning Wang's Mansion.

Su's mother's body had not yet been placed in the coffin. After the coroner had performed the autopsy, it was placed in a cool and ventilated room and filled with ice to prevent it from rotting too quickly.

But the weather is still very hot now, so even if there is ice, the body must be put into the coffin and buried as soon as possible, otherwise the body will be unbearable to look at in a few days.

The moment she saw her mother, Su Wan'er finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

The last time they met, her mother made soup for her and told her with a smile to live a good life with her husband. She didn't expect that when they met again, they would be separated forever.

Zong Zheng Lianqi's eyes also turned red. He supported his wife and said, "Wan'er, don't worry. We will definitely find the murderer."

Su Wan'er held Zongzheng Lianqi's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept questioning God in her heart, why did he treat her like this?

Half an hour later, Su Wan'er, whose eyes were swollen from crying, calmed down a little. She took the wooden figurine that her mother had held in her hand before her death, stared at the scattered bloodstains on it, and almost couldn't hold back her tears again.

When she was a child, she went with her parents to a Taoist temple on the hillside outside the city to burn incense. On the way back, she saw a stall selling these little woodcarving toys. She fell in love with this adorable little woodcarving girl at first sight and thought she looked very much like herself.

Seeing that she was interested, her parents bought it for her, and it became her favorite toy at that time.

When she was too old to play with such toys, her mother locked the wood carving in a box along with her old odds and ends.

etc!

Thinking of this, Su Wan'er suddenly widened her eyes as if she had realized something.

The box containing the toys was placed at the back of the utility room, and it was difficult to take it out. Even if her mother wanted to see the things to remind her of her father, there were other things belonging to her in the house. Why did she have to look at this little person?

And my mother was still holding it in her hand when she was poisoned.

Could it be that my mother guessed something?

After careful consideration, Su Wan'er thought that she probably knew where the account book was.
