Fu Zhiyi thought about it seriously before answering, "It's hard to say! Not to mention the hassle, it will also cause outsiders to talk about it. Even my uncle won't just sit there and wait for death!"

"However, I think Grandfather has really thought about this! Especially since Second Uncle and Master are both on Big Brother's side today, Grandfather should probably give it more thought!"

Lu Zhenzhen curled her lips. "That's what the eldest master deserved. His first wife, daughter-in-law, and unborn grandson were all poisoned, and I think the eldest master is acting like nothing happened."

"I only suspect that he's having sex with that bastard. It's like stabbing his lungs! Who wouldn't feel disgusted watching this?"

"Especially when the eldest brother asked his good San'er to swear an oath, he even stopped him! It seems that he has an idea in mind! His heart is really biased!"

"In my opinion, the reason why the two brothers, Big Brother and Third Master, have ended up like this is because Big Master didn't properly position himself as a father!"

"After watching tonight, I'm afraid that Big Brother and the others are going to become estranged from the Big Master!"

Fu Zhiyi sneered: "Master, the day of regret is still to come!"

The eldest master Fu Heming and his son Fu Zhijian, who were being talked about by the couple, sneezed at the same time.

They looked at each other and then looked away expressionlessly.

The old marquis felt a headache when he saw this scene.

I originally wanted to give him some advice, but seeing the situation, I think, no need to give him any advice!

At this moment, apart from the three of them, the grandfather and grandson, there was only Fu Shan in the room.

Fu Heming and Fu Zhijian, father and son, had realized it long ago, and they were afraid that there might be other things going on besides the search of Fu Zhiming's yard just now.

The eldest master Fu Heming's expression turned gloomy.

Fu Zhijian's expression wasn't looking any better either.

It was already the middle of the night, and the old marquis couldn't stand it any longer. He simply didn't keep the secret and dropped a bombshell: "Fu Shan, tell me, what else did you find?"

When Fu Shan came in just now, he made a gesture and the old marquis knew what was going on.

That's why I specifically asked my eldest son and grandson to stay and listen.

"In addition to the evidence I found in Third Master's courtyard, I also questioned the servants in Third Madam's cousin's courtyard."

"Although Third Madam said that the cousin was ill and had been detained in the courtyard to learn the rules, I still asked a few questions according to the rules."

"I did find out one thing. Although that cousin is not very old, she seems to be very fond of Third Master. She is very concerned about how Third Master and Third Madam get along, and often expresses her envy for Third Madam."

The eldest master waved his hand impatiently: "Are these trivial matters of children worth bringing up?"

Fu Shan restrained his expression and said seriously, "A little maid who worked in that cousin's yard has disappeared."

"Someone confessed that they saw the little girl meet with the eldest wife's maid, Li Rongjia. They didn't know what they were talking about, but they dispersed when they saw someone coming."

"Someone just reported that the body of the servant girl has been found in the lotus pond in the yard."

The old marquis frowned.

"Where are the family members of that little servant girl? Have you checked?" Fu Zhijian asked.

"I've already asked. That little girl was bought into the mansion last year. Both her parents died, and she sold herself to a trafficker to bury her parents. After that, she was sold to the Marquis's mansion."

"I acknowledged Li Rong's family as my godmother, and every month's allowance is given to Li Rong's family. It was my grandmother who heard that there was no one to take care of my cousin, so she arranged for them to go there."

Hearing this, the eldest master Fu Heming frowned and looked at Fu Zhijian with dissatisfaction: "What is your wife trying to do by placing someone there?"

Fu Zhijian looked at the master coldly and said nothing.

The old marquis knew that he would not be able to find out anything for the time being. This matter seemed to be related to Lanyue Courtyard, but the relationship was not significant.

And in the end, the clues still led back to the deceased Li Rongjia.

He sighed and ordered, "Even though we can't find anything right now, we can't give up. Keep investigating! Get to the bottom of it!"

Fu Shan accepted the offer and left.

The old marquis looked at his eldest son and grandson before him and sighed, "Alright, you should go back and rest! Go back and think carefully about how to give an explanation to the Duke of Ping's Mansion in a few days!"

The master snorted coldly, took his leave with a cold face and left.

Fu Zhijian was left behind, and after a moment's silence, he bowed to the old marquis and took his leave.

The old marquis looked at Fu Zhijian's back, which had suddenly lost its spirit. He walked slowly out of Ruixuan Hall, until he could no longer see his figure, and he did not move at all.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Have we all done something wrong these years? I used to think that the third brother was a jerk, but now it seems that the eldest brother is not a good person either! He must have forgotten that such a big thing has happened. If it had been covered up, it would have been fine. But now it can't be covered up. Jin's family and the Duke of Ping's Mansion are not something that can be easily fooled with a few nice words!"

The old lady came out from the inner room, her expression calm and even a little indifferent: "I think what the third and second sons said today does make some sense."

"The boss is old, and his temper can't be changed! Rather than causing brothers Jian and Ming to become sworn enemies in the future, it's better to cut the Gordian knot and stop Ming'er from having any thoughts!"

The old marquis still had some concerns. Besides, the eldest master was the heir to the marquisate and had been trained for so many years. It was difficult for him to make up his mind to give up immediately.

The old lady was more decisive. "The second and third sons have offended the eldest son completely by saying this today! Now that we are still alive, the eldest son may still be cautious. But if we go, how do you think he will treat the second and third sons? If he is influenced by your pillow talk, I am afraid he will become even more confused!"

"The eldest is yours and mys, so could it be that the second and third were picked up?"

"You can't just consider the boss, right? What's more, the title was given to Jian'er. He has filial piety as his duty, so shouldn't Jian'er treat the boss well? At most, it will be Ming'er and his wife who will suffer a little!"

"But compared to the harmony in this mansion, what's the big deal about them being a little tired? This whole thing was caused by Ming Ge'er's greed and his inappropriate thoughts!"

"Think about it carefully. Who is more important, the sons and grandsons of this mansion or the eldest brother alone?"

After saying this, Old Lady Bai snorted coldly and decisively went into the inner room.

Let's talk about Fu Zhiming and Zhao. After they came out, they were surrounded by maids and servants in front and behind, as well as Fu Shan's men. It would be more accurate to say that they were under surveillance and supervision all the way back to Lanyue Courtyard.

The couple didn't say a word along the way, just walked with their heads down.

After watching the couple enter the Lanyue Courtyard, he gave the gatekeeper a few words of advice, telling her not to let anyone inside come out, and then left.

After entering the main house, several frightened concubines who had been guarding it heard the noise and knew that the couple had returned.

Not caring that it was getting late, they all ran to the main house to ask for a meeting.
