Su Yujiao found Zhou's dress more and more strange.

Zhou has always paid attention to appearance and likes bright colors.

When have you ever seen her dressed in dark gray?

Su Yujiao suppressed the uneasiness and confusion in her heart and stepped forward into the Buddhist hall.

"mother?"

She called out quietly.

The Buddhist beads in Zhou's hand stopped, and the scriptures he was chanting also stopped.

She paused for a long time before responding, "Sit down first."

She didn't even look back at Su Yujiao, she looked so cold and distant as if she had become a different person.

Su Yujiao felt more and more puzzled. When had her mother-in-law ever treated her so coldly?

When she recalled her mother's strange behavior last night, she couldn't help but wonder if they had really had a fight?

So she suffered as well?

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Did something happen?"

"Are you having a quarrel with my mother?"

Zhou remained silent, still muttering to herself.

Su Yujiao looked at Wang Ma beside her in confusion. Wang Ma shook her head slightly at her and said nothing.

Even though Su Yujiao was puzzled, she did not disturb him again.

But waiting for Zhou to finish chanting the sutra!

But it was almost time for lunch, and Zhou seemed to have endless things to say.

Bai Qingrou came to ask whether to set up lunch, but Zhou still ignored her.

"Sister-in-law, come out and wait."

Su Yujiao hesitated for a moment, then quietly left the Buddhist temple.

She felt a little dizzy from the strong smell of incense and candles in the Buddhist temple.

And she also wanted to ask her sister-in-law what happened to Zhou.

Su Yujiao walked out of the Buddhist hall, pulled Bai Qingrou into the garden, and asked softly, "What happened to Grandma?"

"But did my family offend her?"

"I always feel that mother is cold to me today."

"And why did mother suddenly start to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures?"

Bai Qingrou sighed: "Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with your mother's family."

"She's been cold to everyone lately and doesn't want to talk to anyone."

"As for her vegetarianism and Buddhist chanting, I guess she was frightened by what happened this time, and she's chanting for peace of mind."

Su Yujiao suddenly asked, "Could it be that something happened to the men in the family?"

"Or is something wrong with Dad?"

Bai Qingrou quickly shook her head: "No, no, my family is fine, don't let your imagination run wild."

Su Yujiao frowned. Although her sister-in-law spoke in a relaxed tone, she still felt something was wrong.

How could a person suddenly change his personality if there was no major change?

As the two were talking, Zhou suddenly walked out of the Buddhist hall, and Su Yujiao could see her mother-in-law's face clearly.

She was suddenly stunned?

How come my mother-in-law looks so haggard after just one month of not seeing her?

Could it be that he is sick?

She immediately walked over and asked, "Mom, why do you look so haggard?"

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me take your pulse."

Zhou suddenly withdrew her hand, looked at her with mixed emotions, and said calmly: "I'm fine."

"Let's have lunch first."

After Zhou finished speaking, she left with the support of Wang Ma.

Su Yujiao stood there in a daze, looking at her mother-in-law, repeatedly pondering the look she had just given her.

Why did she feel that there was...resentment in that look?

Is her mother-in-law blaming her?

But why?

"Sister-in-law, is mother blaming me?"

A hint of bitterness and sympathy flashed in Bai Qingrou's eyes. She could understand her mother-in-law's feelings.

If her son died saving another woman, she would also feel resentful!

Even if that is his favorite daughter-in-law, his son is his biological son!

"Jiaojiao, don't think too much. Mom has been so cold to everyone recently."

"Maybe it's because I'm getting old and not feeling well. Everything I see makes me upset."

Su Yujiao always felt that there was something strange about it, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"Sister-in-law, has Ziqian written back recently?"

She originally wanted to ask Zhou, but seeing Zhou's expression, she suddenly didn't dare to ask.

The look in his eyes just now was clearly blaming her, although she didn't know why!

Bai Qingrou's expression changed: "No."

Su Yujiao felt even more uneasy after returning from the general's mansion.

Could something have happened to Lu Ziqian?

Is everyone hiding it from her?

eccentric!

Everything is weird!

She called Xiaotao and the Wei sisters in to question them, but didn't get anything out of them.

In the end, they could only send the Wei sisters to keep an eye on Zhou, perhaps they could find out some information.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed and the two sisters found nothing.

Su Yujiao felt that the Wei sisters were not telling the truth, so she had to go and investigate in person.

She went to the general's mansion in person and entered the Buddhist temple. When Zhou was not paying attention, she hid the video recorder and recorder under the shrine.

After three days, she thought the battery should have run out, so she quietly took the things back.

Zhou still ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day. If the Buddhist beads in her hand had not been turning, she would have thought the picture was still.

After she had been reciting the mantra for a whole day and night without eating or drinking, Aunt Wang, in a tearful voice, persuaded her to eat well and take care of herself.

Wang Ma mentioned the general, saying that if he knew in the afterlife that she did not take care of her body, he would not be at peace.

General?

Who?

Lu Ziqian or Lu Jingming?

Both are possible. After all, father-in-law Lu Jingming has regained the military power and is guarding the border.

But she felt that the general Wang Ma was referring to was Lu Ziqian.

Because when Wang Ma addressed Lu Jingming, she always habitually called him "old general" or "master".

Su Yujiao stood up quickly, her heart was in turmoil. Even though it was already very late, she had to find out who had died.

What was the cause of death?

If her father-in-law was dead, why did he hide it from her?

If it was Lu Ziqian...

She didn't dare to think further and hurried to the general's mansion.

"Why are you here, County Master?"

"Where's Mom? I want to see her."

The housekeeper saw her trying to force her way into the Buddhist hall and was unable to stop her.

However, there was no one in the temple.

"What about people?"

"The old lady has gone to bed."

Su Yujiao turned around and went to Zhou's bedroom. She had to get to the bottom of it.

However, there was no one in the bedroom.

There was some anger on her face: "Where is mother?"

"Why have you been stopping me?"

"What's stopping me?"

"Did something happen to Ziqian?"

"What's there to hide about this?"

"Can you keep it a secret forever?"

Butler Wang looked embarrassed, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

When Su Yujiao heard some noise coming from the ancestral hall, she immediately went towards the direction of the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, she saw Wang Ma at the door of the ancestral hall, which meant that Zhou was inside the hall.

Su Yujiao rushed in without thinking, but when she saw the tablet that Zhou was worshipping, her mind went blank and her feet seemed to have taken root, and she just stared at the tablet blankly.

Tears seemed like an instinct, reacting faster than emotions, bursting out first...

She stared at the name on the tablet, which was clearly Lu Ziqian's name!

Su Yujiao burst into tears, her lips trembling: "Mom, what... is going on?"

"Ziqian... Where is Ziqian?"
