So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

The Xiao family women did not leave early. It would be inappropriate to leave early after a dispute, as it would be a loss of grace. The three of them waited until the end of the banquet before saying goodbye to Madam Kong.

Mrs. Kong didn't know in advance that the Meng family would attack Xiao Yueshan at the banquet. She was also a little embarrassed in front of her old friend, Mrs. Yu. But there were so many people talking and she couldn't blame the Meng family. She could only pretend that nothing happened, exchange pleasantries and send the guests out.

Only after leaving the Gongshun Marquis's Mansion and getting on their own carriage did the mother and her two daughters have a chance to talk.

"That Chen Yaqin is really taking advantage of her power to bully others!" Madam Yu finally let out the anger she had been holding back for the whole afternoon. "When our family was in charge of rituals and sacrifices, she didn't even know where she was. If your father's official position was higher than theirs, we wouldn't have to endure this bullshit! It's all your father's fault!"

Xiao Yueshan was left in tears and amused by Mrs. Yu's incredible logic.

"I don't feel offended. We didn't lose in the verbal dispute today, and we also behaved well afterwards. Don't be angry, mother." Xiao Yueshan comforted.

"It's quite strange that they are targeting my sister. Normally, the two families don't have much interaction, so why are they suddenly so resentful of each other? I guess everyone in Beijing will suspect that it's because of the disaster relief corruption case." Xiao Yuerong analyzed.

What she said made sense. Xiao Yueshan only told her mother that her sister met Meng Yufu in the palace, but did not say that Shen was looking for them because of the time travel.

Therefore, Madam Yu and Xiao Yuerong shared the same idea as most officials' wives in the capital. They were afraid that the Meng family was also implicated in the corruption case, which was why Madam and Miss Meng were so angry and wanted to embarrass the wife of a minor official of the seventh rank.

According to legend, when the Minister of Revenue Meng Zhengcheng learned about this, he severely reprimanded his wife and daughter, and also punished Meng Yufu to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, trying to use his anger to tell everyone that this matter had nothing to do with him, and was definitely not a retaliation by the Meng family against the Supervisory Censor.

The next day, the Minister of Justice Zhang Songchan sent his wife to Shijue Temple for a short stay, thinking that his mother-in-law was praying for blessings, for fear that she would be involved with the relevant female relatives at this critical juncture.

Seeing that both ministers had expressed their dissatisfaction with the ladies' gathering through their actions, the officials below immediately took action and temporarily prohibited the female members of the family from going out to attend the gathering.

No matter how sociable the ladies were in the past, they all announced that they would not allow visitors. Even the elegant banquets at the Gongshun Marquisate could not be invited and had to be temporarily suspended.

Meng Yufu's brain was not working well, causing unhappiness in all the back houses in the capital. In order to avoid suspicion, the eldest princess Chu Yiwei, who expressed satisfaction with her at the banquet, had to refrain from mentioning her marriage with Prince Rui and stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

Not only did he lose his wife, but he also lost his army. Xiao Yueshan had never seen such a confused person.

The above are all things that happened later. Now Xiao Yueshan is thinking about going to Changji Clothing Store with Qiu Shunci the next day.

She thought that embroidery in ancient times was all hand-sewn, and a skilled embroiderer should be able to tell the needle techniques that different people are accustomed to.

But she didn't know how to embroider, and she didn't know if Shutong could tell the difference. She had to ask her to help look at Yanniang's embroidery. Tomorrow she had to find similar stitches among the thousands of clothes in the clothing store, which was not easy.

Fortunately, the banquet ended early today. When she got home, she found that Zhou Yao had not come home yet. She ordered a car to be harnessed and Shu Tong to go to the Dali Temple to find Zhou Yao.

Those three secret guards are tough guys. We haven't gotten any information out of them yet, but they have been used all the same torture methods that left no marks in prison. It's only a matter of time before the mental defenses of the secret guards collapse.

The coroners made some progress in the autopsy and performed bone steaming and injury examination on the four bodies.

They washed the bones, strung them together in order with thin hemp ropes and placed them on a bamboo mat.

A cellar was dug out, and the walls were burned red with charcoal, then removed. Two liters of wine and five liters of vinegar were poured in. Taking advantage of the hot air rising from the cellar, the corpse was lifted into the cellar and covered with a straw mat.

About an hour later, the corpse was taken out and placed in a bright place. A red oil umbrella was opened facing the sun to examine the corpse.

This red umbrella autopsy method can determine whether the injury was caused before or after death. If there is blood on both ends of the fractured bone, it was broken before death; if there is no blood, it was caused after death.

After some operations, it can be seen that the four people had multiple external injuries before death. Even the corpse of the young male with black bones, who they initially thought died of poisoning, had many bloodstains.

Ji Shu had asked Fengtian Prefecture to check the household registration information of the You family to see if they had any relationship with Deng Wenkai. However, due to too many files, they had not yet found any.

Seeing Xiao Yueshan coming, Ji Shu, Zhou Yao and Shou Junwu were all a little surprised.

"Aren't you going to a banquet with your mother today? How come you still have time to come over?" Zhou Yao asked.

"The gathering at the Marquis Gongshun's mansion is the most interesting. My eldest sister-in-law also went there today. I wonder if my sister-in-law saw her?" Shou Junwu also asked.

"I did meet the princess, but I didn't get to talk to her." Xiao Yueshan briefly answered the question and changed the subject.

"Don't talk about that. I got some valuable information today." Xiao Yueshan asked Ji Shu to take out Yan Niang's main waist.

"A young lady told me that there is a clothing store in the West Market that specializes in buying and selling second-hand clothes. I think the quality and embroidery of Yan Niang's clothes are very good, unlike the ones that ordinary people would wear when I checked last time.

Although this kind of gauze clothing is light and comfortable, it is not practical. Even if it is sold second-hand at a discount, the women in Yonghe Lane will not buy such clothes.

If the clothes cannot be sold in Yonghe Lane, will Lao Cui take them from the You family and send them to the clothing store?" Xiao Yueshan asked.

"Also, I think this family is very suspicious. If they were just buying pancakes, why would they wear such nice clothes? They look like a wealthy family or the family of an official."

Ji Shu also agreed with Xiao Yueshan's speculation. He explored the pigpen and from the traces it seemed that the pigpen was newly built. The You family sold pancakes, so why did they build a pigpen?

There is something strange about the You family, and in order to confirm their identities as soon as possible, Ji Shu decides to send more trusted people to Fengtian Prefecture to look for household registration information.

“I always feel that the note inside this waistcoat is not a coincidence, maybe there is evidence in other clothes as well.

Each woman's needlework is different. I want the maid to take a look at Yan Niang's waist and go to the clothing store in the West Market tomorrow to see if we can find clothes with similar needlework." Xiao Yueshan told them his idea.

Shou Junwu admired his new sister-in-law very much and immediately said that he would take care of it. He asked Woyan to go to the mansion to find a reliable embroiderer, Yunxiang.

Xiao Yueshan asked Yunxiang and Shutong to look at the embroidery on the waistband, and said that it was the needlework of an old friend who had pawned many of her clothes because her family was poor. Now he wanted to help her redeem them, and would go to the clothing store tomorrow to buy some of the clothes she had made.

A top embroiderer is a top embroiderer. After Yunxiang carefully looked at the main waist, she was able to imitate Yan Niang's needlework.

Shou Junwu instructed Yunxiang to dress up as Xiao Yueshan's maid and go with her tomorrow.

After sorting out the assistance for investigating the case at the clothing store tomorrow, Shou Junwu saw that the four of them were together again and immediately suggested going to Zuihuayin for dinner.

This kid is too crazy. Xiao Yueshan looked at the top brother of his own business and suggested, "Last time, Lord Shou hosted the party. Why don't we invite Uncle and Lord Shou today?"

I should treat Shou Jun to a good meal as a way of giving back to the fans.

No matter what, he didn't really like playing and fooling around with other playboys in the capital. He would only play polo with them if his childhood friends asked him to.

Ever since Ji Shu returned to Beijing, he wanted to follow his teacher, but his teacher did not like socializing and was unwilling to go even after being invited three times, which made Shou Junwu very helpless.

Now with Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan, he finally found someone of the same age that he admired.
