[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"Madam, please get up quickly. Something happened!"

Quarter of an hour ago, Rong Enqing had just laid down when he was called up by Xiu Zhang.

Rong Enqing turned over and sat up, looking at Xiu Zhang nervously, "What happened?"

"Ayi, who is beside the young marquis, came over and said that the young marquis asked the lady to go to the main courtyard immediately."

"Yun Ye wants me to go to the main courtyard now?" Rong Enqing was full of doubts.

If Xiu Zhang hadn't said this, she would have suspected that someone was joking with her.

Not to mention that Yun Ye would never look for her like this, and he would never rashly ask her to go to his courtyard. Even if there was something very important, Yun Ye would take the initiative to come to Tingfeng Courtyard to tell her, instead of sending someone to call her over like he did now.

"Yes." Xiu Zhang confirmed again, "That's what Ayi, who was beside the young marquis, said. Moreover, Ayi looked very anxious."

Rong Enqing said no more. He quickly dressed himself, took Xiu Zhang out, and went to the main courtyard with Ayi.

At the beginning, Yun Zhen doted on Jiang and took good care of Yun Hao. Therefore, Tingfeng Courtyard was very close to the main courtyard, and it didn't take long to get there.

However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, Rong Enqing felt the tense atmosphere of the main courtyard.

The main courtyard gate, which had never been guarded before, now had four servants guarding it.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, A Mou, who was beside Yun Ye, came to greet them.

"Madam, you are here?"

"What happened?" Rong Enqing was worried. He looked around but didn't see Yun Ye, so he asked, "Where is Yun Ye? Didn't he ask me to come over? Why can't I see him?"

Ah Mou knelt down immediately and admitted his fault, saying, "Please forgive me, Madam! I, your servant, asked you to come here in the name of the young marquis."

"What happened? Tell me now!"

Rong Enqing was almost going crazy, but he didn't even know what happened. One by one, can't you just get to the point?

Ah Mou stood up and said respectfully, "Madam, please follow me."

Rong Enqing didn't ask any more questions and followed A Mou into the main hall.

Yun Ye was curled up in an armchair in the hall, his arms folded, his head buried in his arms, a small ball. If you look closely, you can see that his whole body is trembling slightly.

Rong Enqing was horrified and stepped forward quickly, reaching out to touch Yun Ye's head, but when his hand just touched him, he shrank back as if by reflex and curled himself up even tighter.

"Yun Ye? Yun Ye?" Rong Enqing called out twice, but Yun Ye kept his head down and did not respond.

Rong Enqing winked at Amou, and the two walked aside. Rong Enqing then asked anxiously in a low voice: "What happened to Yunye? What stimulated him? Why did he become like this?"

Ah Mou turned his head and looked at Yun Ye deeply. He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, please follow me."

Follow again?

Can't you just speak directly?

Rong Enqing was annoyed, but he still kept his temper and followed Amou out of the main hall and went to Yunye's study.

As soon as he entered the room, Rong Enqing couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why did you bring me to Yun Ye's study?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a figure lying on the floor of the study.

Because the man was lying prone on the ground, Rong Enqing couldn't see his face, so he naturally didn't know who the person was. However, from his clothes, he could tell that he must be the steward of the Marquis' Mansion.

But, how could he lie on the ground in such a cold weather? Besides, this was Yun Ye's study room, and Yun Ye didn't like anyone to come in normally.

Suddenly, Rong Enqing seemed to have thought of something, and felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

She turned to look at Ah Mou in shock, and sure enough, she saw Ah Mou saying with a gloomy face: "Madam, the person lying on the ground is He Zizhong. He is dead. He was poisoned, extremely poisonous, and died instantly!"

"What on earth is going on? He Zizhong was poisoned, why did he die in Yun Ye's study? Also, how was he poisoned?" Rong Enqing's mind was full of question marks.

He Zizhong died in Yun Ye’s study, and Yun Ye became like that again... What is the connection between them?

Ah Mou quickly explained, "Five minutes ago, the kitchen sent a bowl of glutinous rice balls to the young marquis. She said that the Madam felt sorry for the young marquis not having enough for dinner, so she specially sent it."

Rong Enqing was shocked. When had she ever given instructions to the kitchen for such a thing?

No, she also received the dumplings from the kitchen that night! What did the person who delivered them say?

If I remember correctly, it seemed that Yun Ye was afraid that she didn't have enough to eat at night, so he specially asked someone to send it to her!

Ah Mou continued, "The young marquis never had the habit of having midnight snacks, so he left it alone. It just so happened that He Zizhong came back from outside after finishing his work. The young marquis sympathized with him for not having dinner, so he gave him the dumplings as a reward.

"Who would have thought that just after the glutinous rice balls entered his stomach, within three breaths, He Zizhong bled to death!"

Hearing Ah Mou's words, Rong Enqing felt a wave of fear, her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Xiu Zhang supported her from behind.

Needless to say, the problem must be with the bowl of glutinous rice balls! But, who ordered the bowl of glutinous rice balls to be delivered? And who poisoned it? Could the person who ordered the glutinous rice balls to be delivered and the person who poisoned it be the same person?

Wait... Rong Enqing suddenly thought of something.

According to A-mou, the person who delivered the dumplings to Yunye said it was her order!

Rong Enqing suddenly understood why Yun Ye became the way she just saw him!

Just imagine, a nine-year-old child seeing a living person die in front of him, in such a sudden and tragic way, how could he not be scared?

If the person who wanted to murder me was the one I was closest to and the one I trusted the most...

Rong Enqing just felt a tightness in his chest.

Yun Ye has a rather left-wing temper. If this matter is not handled properly, the misunderstanding in Yun Ye's heart cannot be completely eliminated...

Rong Enqing couldn't imagine the consequences.

"Investigate! Investigate this matter thoroughly!" Rong Enqing shouted angrily, "Go call housekeeper Li, and call Hu Shan and Madam Gong as well."

Ron Enqing walked out of the study and walked towards the main room while giving orders loudly.

A-Mou responded quickly and asked the servant to call someone.

Soon, Butler Li, Hu Shan and Nanny Gong all arrived.

Without waiting for the others to greet him, Rong Enqing simply explained the matter, and then ordered sternly: "Butler Li, arrange for people to seal off all exits of the mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes." Butler Li responded quickly.

"Manager Hu, bring a group of people to guard each courtyard and do not allow anyone to move around without permission."

"Yes." Hu Shan agreed respectfully.

"Madam Gong, I'll leave the task of tracking down the murderer to you! Just tell me how many people you need and who needs help with what. Steward Li and Steward Hu will obey your orders. I don't care what method you use, I want to know the truth before dawn!"

Rong Enqing spoke in a stern tone, with a resolute look in his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a spirit of not giving up until the goal was achieved!

She looked at Madam Gong solemnly and asked in a deep voice, "Can you do it?"

Madam Gong solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, Madam, I will definitely live up to your trust and get to the bottom of this matter!"
