Long Moxun's expression was playful, but his eyes were sharp. He just stared at Luo Xuening steadily.

Luo Xue frowned and her heart skipped a beat. She knew that Long Mo Xun suspected her, but he just stared at her without blinking. What did he mean? Could it be that he wanted her to confess right away? This was really going to force an honest person to death.

Luo Xue Ning straightened her back, and her originally stretched palms curled up towards her palms. If it weren't for her excellent psychological quality, she would have been exposed under Long Mo Xun's venomous gaze.

"My Lord, do you think I have any secrets that you don't know?"

Luo Xuening's eyes were very open, but her tone was the same as before. It was in line with Luo Xuening's style, and she was bold enough.

Long Moxun did not deny it, but just looked at him steadily, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. However, the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Long Moxun was a sensitive and suspicious person. If she had shown any reaction that was slightly different from her usual self, Long Moxun's suspicion would have escalated.

Finally, Long Moxun finally moved his gaze away from Luo Xuening. It was only a few dozen breaths, but to Luo Xuening, it seemed like too long. So long that she felt as if someone was holding her head in their hands.

This feeling of being in danger at any time is really terrible.

Luo Xuening was actually very clear that Long Moxun had always been suspicious of her. No matter whether she was now considered Long Moxun's person or not, it was obvious that Long Moxun had already included her in his camp. This was definitely not a good thing for Luo Xuening. What was even worse was that this person who had included her in his camp was always on guard against her.

It's like in an organization, people who are not trusted always die the most tragically and are also the most innocent ones. Long Moxun doesn't kill himself now, only because he is still useful.

Luo Xuening thought sadly that if Long Moxun continued to be aggressive and she really didn't want to be involved in the court struggle, then there was only one way, to escape.

In fact, from the first day Luo Xuening traveled here, she had been planning how to escape. After meeting Longlong Moxun, this idea was further upgraded. In the current situation, Luo Xuening was thinking whether she should put her escape plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

However, these are not the top priority. The top priority is the case at hand. Luo Xue Ning followed Long Mo Xun to the outer hall.

In the empty hall, people of all kinds stood in rows. They were all people who had come into contact with the deceased.

"Tell me when you last saw the deceased."

Luo Xuening questioned them thoroughly and ruled out several irrelevant people. The remaining few were the person who was responsible for delivering food to the deceased, the housekeeper who delivered money to the deceased, and the one who was once the deceased's personal maid.

Luo Xue took a quick look at the three people who stayed behind and asked, "Who did the deceased usually interact with closely?"

The three people's answers were almost the same. The deceased rarely interacted with others before his death, but he was still easy-going and polite. This was consistent with the description of the villagers.

"The deceased died a month ago. Did she have any unusual behavior before that?"

Hearing Luo Xuening's question, the two people in charge of delivering the things shook their heads in confusion, but the maid of the deceased looked a little flustered.

The maid kept her mouth shut and said nothing, just shook her head blankly. Luo Xue Ning glanced at her, raised her eyebrows, and continued to make a shocking revelation.

"Did you know that the deceased was pregnant?"

The two men who delivered the gifts were completely unaware and looked completely stunned. It seemed that these two people were just insignificant spectators. But the expression of the maid was worth understanding.

Luo Xue Ning looked at the maid, her eyes rolling around, her hands seemed to be itching, pinching her own clothes, moving non-stop.

The maid was panicking, so she used these little actions to relieve her inner anxiety. She was very likely aware of this matter. It was no wonder that the maid served the deceased personally, so she naturally knew the whereabouts of the deceased.

"You two go down, you, stay."

Luo Xuening waved her hand and had the two men taken away, leaving behind only the panic-stricken maid. At this moment, she was even more nervous and could not even make the slightest movement. She just stood there stiffly like a puppet.

The maid's face twitched, her eyes kept blinking, and her head was buried very deeply in her chest. She especially didn't want others to see her expression.

"Tell me, who is that man?"

Luo Xuening's direct question startled the maid again, and her face turned pale.

"Your master is having a secret meeting with someone, and since he wants to conceal it from others, he must need your help. Do you dare to say that you don't know about this?"

Luo Xuening pointed out the key point in just one sentence, and the maid surrendered. She knew that at this point, she could no longer hide anything.

"I don't know about the master's pregnancy. I only know about the master and that man. However, he always comes at night, so I can't see his face clearly."

"Come in the evening. It should be not far from here. Describe the characteristics of the man."

"He was tall and thin, probably not very old, and spoke in a deep voice... Also, I remember the master called him Duan Lang and even wrote letters to him."

Duan Lang, Luo Xuening thought of the burned letter. It seemed that the letter was written to the man named Duan Lang. The adulterer was found.

"Have you read their letters?" Luo Xu Ning guessed that the deceased was a nostalgic person. She loved the man named Duan Lang deeply, so she should have kept those letters.

However, they searched the deceased's house for such a long time, but found nothing except a piece of paper that was almost burned. If those letters were not burned by the deceased, then they were burned by the adulterer. Those letters must have contained the adulterer's secrets, which made him so impatient to burn them.

Perhaps it was because Luo Xue Ning's question was too nonsensical. The maid was stunned for a moment before she said in despair: "Your servant, your servant can't read."

That is to say, she had handled those cases before, but she didn't recognize them.

Luo Xuening slapped her head suddenly. She almost forgot that women in ancient times could hardly type.

Looking at Luo Xuening's troubled look, Long Moxun actually found her somewhat cute?

"Your Highness, I want to search for a man nearby. He is about 20 years old, tall and thin, can read, but his family is poor. He lives not far from here and rarely goes out. He usually stays at home during the day and goes out to work at night. His workplace is also here. Something may have happened in his family a month ago. Maybe it was because of lack of money, or maybe it was for other reasons. In short, these changes caused him to be a little extreme."
