Xue Zhiyi glanced at him sideways and lowered his voice: "Speaking so quietly, could it be related to the Tang family?"
Huo Wuyou smiled as if he had found a soulmate: "Smart."
He immediately explained, "To conceal their identities, the assassins disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked into a restaurant called Baile Manor. This restaurant was the property that Madam Tang had brought as a dowry, meaning it was owned by the Tang family."
"Are you saying that the Tang family was responsible for assassinating us?"
Xue Zhiyi was stunned, and immediately denied it: "No."
In the previous life, although the Tang family was inclined towards Gu Shichong's faction, they were almost independent of the party disputes and were not deeply involved in the struggle for the throne. Now there is no reason for them to do such a thing as putting the nine clans under the guillotine.
Seeing her so confident, Huo Wuyou said, "Xue Ruoyu is Xue Ruoyu, and the Tang family is the Tang family. Even if you trust Madam Tang's character, you can't be sure that Tang Lin is innocent."
After a moment of contemplation, Xue Zhiyi suddenly asked, "Could this be a frame-up?"
"What?" Huo Wuyou wanted to hear the details.
"Because of the Xue family, the Tang family is very likely to be a member of Prince Gong's party, so Prince Cheng's people will try to frame the Tang family."
After saying that, she seemed to feel that her guess was not strong enough, so she added: "Today, Yan Gui chased the assassin all the way to Baile Manor. Don't you think that this incident itself went smoothly and unexpectedly? It seems like they deliberately lured people there."
Huo Wuyou frowned and shook his head. "This might be a frame-up, but I had someone infiltrate Baile Manor and discovered that the money flow there is very unusual. A large amount of money has been flowing out, far exceeding the money coming in. This has been going on for several months, and it's hard to explain."
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi twisted his sleeves, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi's excessive concern for the Tang family, Huo Wuyou didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so he just smiled: "However, the matter has not yet come to a conclusion. No one can tell what the truth is. Maybe it's really as you said, that everything is Gu Shimin's trick?"
Seeing Xue Zhiyi's mood, which had finally calmed down, sink again, Huo Wuyou hurriedly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what's the news from Cishui..."
Xue Zhiyi's eyes jumped: "What's wrong?"
Huo Wuyou felt a little annoyed for a moment. The topic he hurriedly changed didn't seem to make people happy.
"The official road collapse in Cishui is even more serious. It will take another three to five days for the news to arrive." He hurriedly explained, "If it's fast, maybe one or two days. If there's no news, I'll go to Cishui myself by walking the mountain road."
Seeing Huo Wuyou trying hard to coax her, Xue Zhiyi smiled politely: "It's okay, there's no rush for this matter, it won't take a day or two."
