Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

"How could the Zhou family's newly married concubine be so unruly that she actually wore bright red clothes? Doesn't she know that concubines can't wear bright red?"

"Haven't you heard that Lord Zhou particularly loves this concubine, so he specially asked the saint for grace. Although Miss Song is a concubine, the wedding banquet will be held according to the standards of a wife!"

"Isn't this favoring the concubine over the wife? Can Madam Zhou tolerate this?"

"You have to endure it even if you can't bear it. Miss Zhou has passed away, and Madam Zhou has no other children. Now she must be having a hard time in the mansion. How dare she resist?"

"It's really pitiful..."

"According to how much Master Zhou loves this concubine, if she has a child in the future, wouldn't it be possible that the mother would be promoted to a co-wife because of the child? Who can predict the future? We should be more polite to this relative!"

"The newlyweds jump over the fire basin!" the matchmaker shouted loudly, interrupting everyone's whispers.

Feng Jia tilted her head to glance at Shi Xun who was sitting at the men's table. Shi Xun had one hand behind his back, holding the cup, which he put to his lips but did not drink. He frowned and shook his head gently at her, meaning: I can't see clearly.

I couldn't tell clearly whether this person was Song Shu, so I was wavering.

Feng Jia retracted her gaze and saw that the woman in wedding dress had already stepped one foot over the brazier. Standing at the end of the brazier was today's proud groom, Zhou Langyi.

She no longer hesitated, and pulled off a button on her left sleeve. With a bend of her fingers, the button flew out with the force of breaking the wind and hit the red scarf on the veil of the woman in wedding dress.

But in the eyes of everyone, it was like a gust of wind came out of nowhere and blew up the red veil of Zhou family's concubine, revealing the woman's beautiful face, which was a feast for the eyes for everyone present.

It was indeed Song Shu.

With a "bang", the wine glass in Shi Xun's hand fell and shattered.

Almost at the same time, all the Dali Temple runners hiding among the guests rushed forward. The fastest one was Jiang Yun. However, just when his hand grabbed Song Shu's arm, he was thrown away by the other party with such great force that he had to take more than two steps back.

What a strong hand! It must be him!

The Land Cruiser they had been searching for!

"do not come!"

In just a moment of distraction, Song Shu had already stepped over the brazier, and the short blade hidden in her sleeve fell into her palm. She clamped Zhou Langyi's neck with one hand and put the dagger in the other hand on his neck. She slowly retreated to the wall. The archers hidden on the roof and beams could not shoot the prisoner without hurting Lord Zhou, so they could only remain in a stalemate.

"Come again and I'll kill him!"

Everyone stepped back, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

The accident happened so quickly that it took everyone a long time to react and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

What happened? It was such a nice wedding banquet, why did the bride capture the groom?

And what does it mean that there are so many yamen runners with swords in the room?

Everyone was in a panic. Shi Xun immediately stepped forward, raised the sign in his hand, clasped his fists towards Li Chu and Princess Mingyue and said, "I am following the orders of the young minister to arrest the wanted criminal. I am sorry to have frightened you two!"

Li Chu nodded slightly: "No problem."

Princess Mingyue's originally horrified expression calmed down a little after seeing Shi Xun. Her cheeks flushed: "I'm fine, Lord Shi, please be safe."

Shi Xun nodded and left one team to protect them, while the other team followed him to the center of the flower hall. At this moment, the prisoner Song Shu was in a stalemate with the officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple.

"You can't run away, so just surrender, Miss Lu."

Hearing this, Song Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly: "You know everything?"

Shi Xun didn't answer, but people around him started talking.

"Miss Lu, why do I remember the bride's last name is Song?"

Even Zhou Langyi, who was being held hostage, looked puzzled: "Your last name is Lu? Ah Shu, what is going on?"

"Don't move!" Song Shu pressed Zhou Langyi's fingers hard. Zhou Langyi's face turned pale with pain, but he didn't dare to resist. He whispered, "Ah Shu, if you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely. Please pay attention to the baby in your belly!"

After a pause, he continued, "Is it because you don't like this wedding banquet that you are unhappy? Ah Shu, then I will go and ask the saint again..."

"shut up!"

Zhou Langyi was stunned. Song Shu had always been gentle and considerate to her over the past year. How could he have spoken to her so harshly?

Is this still the Song Shu he knows?

Jiang Yun couldn't help but said, "Master Zhou, this person is not called Song Shu at all, but Lu Xun! Your daughter Zhou Muqi, as well as the dean of the Gu family private school Gu Weifeng, and even the man Wang Dun who died in Liuhu Lane two days ago, were all killed by her!"

What? The concubine that Lord Lu married turned out to be a murderer? She even killed Lord Lu's daughter?

One stone can cause a thousand ripples, and the crowd is in an uproar.

"Lu, Lu Xun?" Zhou Langyi felt as if he was hit on the head by a club. After a long while, he moved his lips and said, "The brother of that female student Lu Qin? How is this possible? She is a girl, and she is pregnant with my child, how can she be a boy? There must be some misunderstanding!"

Feng Jia supported Old Lady Musk and was protected by the servants, but her gaze pierced through the gaps among the crowd and fell steadily on Lu Xun.

Late last night, Song Huai returned to Xingyuan in the dark and brought her an unbelievable news.

Lu Xun was a woman from beginning to end.

Zhou Yun thought of the household registration book that Feng Jia had stuffed into his pocket that morning, and said sternly, "We have all been deceived. Lu Tan and Lu Xun are sisters, not brother and sister!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately excited again.

Shi Xun stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Langyi was shocked. He turned his head to look at the person in front of him. He didn't care even though his neck was cut by the horizontal blade and bleeding. Even at this time, he still chose to believe her. His voice trembled, as if he wanted to know the truth: "Shu'er, it's not like that, right?"

Jiang Yun sighed softly. He didn't understand why Lord Zhou was still so stubborn even at this point.

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Xun's face.

Zhou Langyi froze in shock, and at this moment he understood everything.

Jiang Yun said to Lu Xun, "Because your parents died early, you two sisters depended on each other and became each other's only support. Lu Qin was gifted since she was young. As her elder sister, you didn't want her talent to be wasted, so you wanted to send her to Gu's private school to prepare for future imperial examinations. However, the tuition fee was too expensive, and you, a woman in Beijing, were constrained everywhere, so you simply tied up your long hair and dressed as a man. From then on, there was no more female Lu Xun in the world, only the waiter Lu Xun of Tianrun Restaurant."

Lu Xun had a half-mocking smile on his face: "What else do you know?"

Jiang Yun looked around and finally saw Feng Jia in the crowd. Only then did she calm down and repeat what Feng Jia had said to her: "I also know your method of killing people!"
