I was a housekeeper in ancient times
Chapter 158 The murderer takes the unexpected
Lin Weiqiao and Yu Muyan looked at each other, each with their own speculations in their minds.
After a night of treatment, Yu Muliu's injuries were temporarily stabilized and his life was no longer in danger.
After the Yu family received the news, the whole family came, even Old Man Yu, who had never visited before, came.
As soon as Lin Weiqiao saw Old Man Yu, she suddenly understood why Old Lady Yu, who was plain-looking, could give birth to a series of beautiful daughters.
Yu Mubao took after Old Lady Yu and has an average appearance, neither ugly nor beautiful. On the other hand, the remaining three, Yu Muyan, Yu Muqin and Yu Muliu, each have their own beauty.
Old Man Yu has a fair complexion, regular features, peach blossom eyes, and a high nose bridge. Although he is old, one can tell that he was handsome when he was young.
Thinking back to when the funeral was held in the Bo's Mansion, it was logical that since his son-in-law had died, the father-in-law should have shown up, but Old Man Yu never showed up from beginning to end. Lin Weiqiao even thought that Old Lady Yu was also a widow.
Unexpectedly, he didn't show up before, I think he didn't care about Yu Muyan's affairs, and treated Yu Muyan as an outsider. Otherwise, why didn't Yu's father show up when the Lu family wanted Yu Muyan to die for her, but rushed over as soon as Yu Muliu was injured?
When she saw Yu Muliu's haggard face and blood on her body, Old Lady Yu burst into tears on the spot. She cried so hard that no matter how she tried to persuade him, she would not stop.
Yu Muyan patiently explained that it was an accident, but Old Lady Yu wouldn't listen. She felt sorry for Yu Muliu and blamed Yu Mu for not taking good care of his sister.
Father Yu asked, "How could someone stab him for no reason? Has the murderer been caught?"
Yu Muyan shook her head and said, "I have sent someone to check it out."
Old Man Yu looked displeased. He put his hands behind his back, looked at Yu Muliu, and sighed continuously.
Not long after, Huiyang County Lord and Qi Motai also arrived.
No one could understand why Yu Muliu, a girl who lived in the boudoir and seldom went out, was suddenly attacked?
After learning what happened, Qi Motai frowned, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to investigate. The murderer came unexpectedly, no one noticed, and no one knows what he looks like. There are no witnesses or evidence, so it's impossible to find him."
Old Madam Yu choked up and said, "So my sister Liu got hurt in vain? She is so young, who can she offend? Who the hell hurt my sister Liu like this? If anything happens to my sister Liu, how can I live?"
Leaving the Yu family members in the room to watch over Yu Muliu, Yu Muyan went to the main room to talk with the mother and son of Huiyang County Lord.
The Lord of Huiyang County said, "Alas, who did Sister Liu offend?"
Yu Muyan said: "I asked the people who went with them last night, and they all said that they seemed to be here specifically for Sister Liu."
"Who could it be?"
"I just can't figure it out. Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise..."
Qi Motai secretly glanced at Yu Muyan, and seeing her worried look, he wanted to say a few words of comfort, but felt it was inappropriate, so he said instead: "Just investigate slowly, you will eventually find out. Since the murderer came for Sister Liu's life, and now Sister Liu has saved her life, if the murderer knew about it, there is no guarantee that he would do it again."
Upon hearing this, Yu Muyan was horrified and really scared. Her hands were shaking slightly. "What should I do?"
"But don't worry too much. After this incident, the murderer will not dare to act easily. The Bo Mansion must be more cautious than before."
After leaving Shuangxiyuan, Lin Weiqiao saw Yu Mupei and Wu Jun talking in the garden. She overheard and heard that Wu Jun was asking about Yu Muliu's injury.
She almost thought it was Wu Jun who did it. After all, Wu Jun was the only outsider that Yu Muliu had offended. Now that Wu Jun could come to the Bo's Mansion to inquire about Yu Muliu's injuries, he was no longer Wu Jun.
Having not slept all night last night, she went back to catch up on some sleep. There were so many people around now that she was not needed.
Of course, she was also worried about Yu Muliu, but with Doctor Kou around, the only thing she could do was to try her best to find the murderer.
Everything happens for a reason. No one would assassinate someone for no reason. Yu Muliu had most likely offended someone without knowing it.
Think about it carefully, if it's just an ordinary offense, it won't be to the point of killing Yu Muliu, right? But if it's not just an ordinary offense, but a serious offense, Yu Muliu can't do it, right?
She thought divergently, could it be that Yu Muliu heard a secret that he shouldn't have heard, or saw something that he shouldn't have seen? So the other party wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible?
She was thinking about these things, half asleep and half awake. Later, Sister Huan brought her food and she no longer wanted to sleep.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while. Huan Jie looked around and deliberately said, "Mother, why is Zhu Er not here? When I came here before, she was always at your place."
She didn't think much about it, and just said, "Are you busy? The house is in chaos now, and even Hong Luo doesn't know where to go."
"Mom, people's hearts are hidden. At the critical moment, only my biological daughter can be relied on. Instead of being open-hearted to outsiders, it is better to be good to your own daughter."
"How have I been bad to you? Whatever good things I have, I give them all to you, don't I? I am generous to you."
"By the way, I went to my eldest sister's place today. Without that old woman to take care of her, my eldest sister's life must be much more comfortable."
"Of course."
The second house also knew about Yu Muliu's injury. Mrs. Ding said, "Did he offend anyone?"
Lu Yuheng said, "I don't care who I offend. If their affairs with the first wife affect my career, I will never forgive them. Didn't you say that the eldest sister-in-law refused to pay the public income? That's perfect. We should live separately and save me a lot of trouble. If there is any problem with the first wife in the future, our second wife won't be implicated."
"You make it sound easy. Without the public funds from the first wife, how will you support all the mouths in the second wife's house? Your salary is not even enough for you to live a carefree life outside."
"Women's opinions! Can't I climb up the ladder and earn more? Besides, who becomes an official based on salary?"
"Then you can bring money home. If you have the confidence, why should I be afraid of the division of the family?"
"Just wait and see. I can't let those orphans and widows from the first house drag me down!"
It was late at night, with heavy dew. No bright moon could be seen outside, only a few scattered stars.
In the Shuangxi Courtyard, Yu Muyan, full of sorrow, was wearing a coat and standing in front of the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long time, she found the hidden arrow that had injured Yu Muliu. When no one was around, she took the hidden arrow in her hand and checked it again and again.
At this moment, an idea that had been hidden for a long time slowly sprouted in her heart. The seeds of doubt had been planted in her heart long ago.
She still clearly remembered that when the bad news about Lu Yuxuan came, she fainted several times and refused to accept this reality no matter what.
Later, she had no other choice but to drag her tired body and demand to see Lu Yuxuan for the last time.
