Lu Yundi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Shewu, why are you here?"

The head guard Xin Yishewu hurriedly bowed and said, "Madam, I have been protecting you in secret. I saw you running so fast just now. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I rushed here."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and looked at Xin Yi Shewu, his heart full of gratitude.

"Let's go back." Lu Yundi turned around and said.

The guard nodded and escorted Lu Yundi back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

……

Feihu Mountain, Lion Grove.

When the suspects hiding in the woods saw the Nine Gates' supreme commander coming, they no longer dared to attack Lu Yundi and turned around to run away.

But, how can I escape!

The supreme leader of the Nine Gates looked at them coldly, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, a sword light cut through the air and rushed straight to the suspects. They screamed in fear and tried to dodge, but the sword light followed them like a shadow and enveloped them in an instant.

At this moment, Lu Yundi suddenly stood up. With a firm look in her eyes, she said to the supreme commander of the Nine Gates, "Commander, please let them breathe. I have something to ask."

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates paused and retracted his sword. The suspects were frightened and turned pale. They stood there obediently, not daring to make any move.

Lu Yundi walked up to them and said calmly, "Since you are the suspects in the counterfeit currency case, you should know who I am. I am the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. If you are willing to tell the truth, I may be able to plead for you."

The suspects looked at each other, and finally one of them stood up. He said in a trembling voice: "Madam, we...we were forced. Someone ordered us to do these things. We...we were helpless."

Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Since you know you were forced, you should know that your actions have violated the law. Now, you only have two choices: one is to tell the truth, and the other is to remain silent and wait for the punishment of the Nine Gates."

When the suspects heard this, they were immediately horrified. They all looked at the supreme commander of the Nine Gates, and then at Lu Yundi. In the end, they chose the former.

So, they began to tell the truth about the counterfeit money case. It turned out that they were all poor people who were used by a mysterious person to make counterfeit money in exchange for the necessities of life. They didn't want to do these things, but they were forced by life and had no choice but to give in.

After listening to their stories, Lu Yundi looked at the supreme commander of the Nine Gates and said, "Commander, although they have committed crimes, they also have their own difficulties. You can give them a lighter punishment."

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates looked at Lu Yundi, with a complicated look in his eyes. Finally, he nodded and said, "Since Madam said so, I will punish them lightly."

Upon hearing this, the suspects knelt down to express their gratitude, and their eyes were filled with gratitude as they looked at Lu Yundi.

After dealing with these matters, Lu Yundi and the supreme commander of the Nine Gates returned to the Lion Grove of Feihu Mountain. They sat in the pavilion, looking at the scenery in the distance, each with their own thoughts.

Lu Yundi looked at the supreme commander of the Nine Gates and suddenly said, "Commander, who do you think this mysterious person is?"

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates looked at Lu Yundi and said in a deep voice, "Madam, I have heard of this mysterious man a long time ago. His name is Mo Wen, and he is a man of the underworld. He has a special poison that can make people lose their minds in a short period of time and do things they don't want to do."

Lu Yundi looked at the Nine Gates' supreme commander in surprise and said, "Mo Wen? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates looked at Lu Yundi, smiled slightly, and said, "Madam, you may not know that Mo Wen has another name, that is Yan Zhimo."

Lu Yundi looked at the supreme commander of the Nine Gates in shock, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Yan Zhimo was none other than her husband, Marquis Zhongyong.

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the woods in the distance. The supreme commander of the Nine Gates stood up immediately. He looked at Lu Yundi and said coldly: "Madam, I have something to deal with. I will go first."

Lu Yundi looked at the back of the supreme commander of the Nine Gates, her heart full of doubts. She looked at the woods in the distance, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decided that no matter what, she must find out the truth.

Nothing is absolute in this world. Perhaps, Marquis Zhongyong is not what she imagined.

At this time, in the woods in the distance, Mo Wen was looking at the whistle in his hand and smiling coldly. He looked in the direction of the Lion Grove of Feihu Mountain, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

……

After the Nine Gates' Supreme Commander finished dealing with the matter, he looked at Lu Yundi deeply, turned around and left, "Let's go."

Lu Yundi was still squatting beside the carriage, "Where are we going?"

"All persons involved in the case will be taken to the Nine Gates for questioning."

Lu Yundi became nervous. Would they arrest her and put her in jail? Would they suspect she was colluding with the suspect in the counterfeit currency case?

Rumor has it that those who enter the Nine Gates rarely come out.

Lu Yundi's heartbeat quickened, and her eyes showed a bit of panic. She tightly grasped the edge of the carriage, and her voice trembled slightly: "Commander, I... I have nothing to do with this counterfeit coin case, you can't just arrest me."

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates stopped and turned around. His eyes were like a frozen pond that had been frozen for thousands of years, deep and cold. "Madam, you are the noble lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, so I will not attack without a purpose. But this case involves a great deal of seriousness, and no one can stay out of it."

Lu Yundi's face turned slightly pale. She tried to remain calm and reasoned with him, "Commander, I really have nothing to do with this case. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. I am willing to cooperate."

The Supreme Commander nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Madam, you are sensible. I will handle it fairly. However, please follow me back to the Nine Gates and assist in the investigation."

Lu Yundi knew that she could not resist, so she could only stand up slowly and follow the supreme commander. However, her heart was turbulent and she was full of worry.

The two were silent along the way. Lu Yundi secretly observed the Supreme Commander's profile, and saw that he had clear features, a cold temperament, and an unquestionable majesty between his eyebrows.

Arriving at the Nine Gates, the Supreme Commander led Lu Yundi into a spacious hall. Inside the hall was a long table where several officials were busy sorting out case files.

The Supreme Commander walked to the main seat and sat down, pointing to a chair next to him: "Madam, please sit down."

After Lu Yundi sat down, the Supreme Commander began to ask questions: "Madam, do you know the details of this counterfeit coin case?"

Lu Yundi shook his head: "I really don't know. When did this counterfeit coin case happen?"

The Supreme Commander said, "Half a month ago, someone circulated a large amount of counterfeit currency in the market, which seriously disrupted the economic order. The Nine Gates received a report and immediately launched an investigation."

Lu Yundi frowned: "Half a month ago? During that time, I was in the mansion and did not go out. Commander, have you checked my whereabouts?"

The Supreme Commander smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. The Nine Gates have already found out your whereabouts. Indeed, you have not been out for some time."
