The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, study.

Xiao Zhenbang, Marquis of Zhenbei, stood in front of the window with a gloomy expression and his hands behind his back.

Behind him, a man in black was kneeling. He was the man in black who sneaked into the study that day and tried to steal the tiger talisman.

"My Lord, I have failed to perform my duties properly. Please punish me."

The man in black's voice trembled, and his head was lowered so low that it almost touched the ground.

Xiao Zhenbang turned around and stared at the man in black with a sharp gaze.

"You said someone deliberately led you to the study and let you see the tiger talisman?"

"Yes, I dare not say a word of falsehood."

The man in black shuddered and answered quickly.

Xiao Zhenbang frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that someone is deliberately trying to stir up trouble and wants to use this opportunity to frame our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

His words revealed a strong murderous intent.

The man in black looked up at Xiao Zhenbang cautiously and spoke tentatively.

"My Lord, who do you think it could be? Could it be..."

"No evidence, no nonsense!"

Xiao Zhenbang interrupted the man in black in a stern voice, his voice revealing majesty and unquestionableness.

The man in black suddenly fell silent and dared not say another word.

Xiao Zhenbang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"You go down first and continue your secret investigation. Report to me immediately if you have any news."

"Yes, I obey."

The man in black stood up and left the study as if he had been pardoned.

Xiao Zhenbang turned around and looked out the window again, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

The battle has just begun, and there are more difficult challenges waiting for him.

……

In the following days, Xiao Rong and Lu Shengyuan divided the work and worked together to conduct open and secret investigations, trying to find the real culprit behind the incident.

However, the other party seemed to have been prepared and did not leave any clues.

For a time, the investigation was at a stalemate.

Lin Wanqing walked lightly into Jiang Yu's boudoir, carrying a small basket filled with some exquisite pastries.

Seeing Jiang Yu sitting in front of the window with a worried look on his face, she couldn't help but sigh and put the basket on the table.

"Yu'er, I'm here to see you."

Lin Wanqing said softly, walking over to sit next to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu turned to look at Lin Wanqing, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Wanqing, how is the investigation going?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

Lin Wanqing shook her head gently, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Still no progress. The other party is too cunning and has left almost no clues."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of cake from the basket and handed it to Jiang Yu, "Eat something, don't overwork yourself."

Jiang Yu took the pastry, but did not put it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he held it tightly in his hand.

"Wanqing, I'm really worried about my parents. They're in danger of dying, and I can't do anything..."

Her eyes gradually turned red and her voice choked.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing quickly reached out and patted Jiang Yu's back, comforting her: "Yu'er, don't be anxious. Now is not the time to be impulsive. You must not act rashly when it comes to meeting the emperor."

When Jiang Yu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back.

"But... I really can't wait any longer. Living in fear like this every day, I feel like I'm about to collapse."

She bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the pain in her heart.

Lin Wanqing looked at Jiang Yu with heartache, feeling mixed emotions.

She understood Jiang Yu's feelings. This kind of waiting and torment was indeed unbearable.

"Yu'er, I know you're upset, but we really can't act rashly right now."

Lin Wanqing comforted him softly, "Lu Shengyuan and Xiao Rong are still working hard on their investigation. We have to trust them."

When Jiang Yu heard Lin Wanqing mention Lu Shengyuan and Xiao Rong, his emotions calmed down a little.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Well, you're right. I can't lose my composure."

Jiang Yu held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, "Wanqing, thank you. I feel much better with you by my side."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly and gently patted the back of Jiang Yu's hand.

"We are good sisters, so of course we have to support each other. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Jiang Yu nodded with emotion, and the haze in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the hospital.

Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly pushed open and Lu Shengyuan walked in with a serious expression.

"There's a clue!"

There was a hint of urgency and seriousness in his voice.

Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing stood up at the same time upon hearing this and stared at Lu Shengyuan nervously.

"What clue?"

Jiang Yu asked impatiently.

Lu Shengyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Our people found out that a suspicious carriage was lingering near the Marquis' Mansion that day, and then went to a remote house in the south of the city."

He paused and continued, "The owner of that house is named Li Si, a lazy scoundrel. But according to our investigation, he has suddenly become wealthy recently. Not only did he buy a new house, he also frequently visits the casino."

Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"There must be something wrong with this Li Si!"

Jiang Yu said firmly.

"Yes, we'll go meet him now."

Lu Shengyuan nodded in agreement.

The three of them hurriedly left the Marquis' Mansion and headed for a remote house in the south of the city.

Along the way, Jiang Yu felt both nervous and expectant.

She hopes to find clues about her parents' disappearance this time, but she is afraid that the truth will be too cruel.

Lin Wanqing seemed to notice Jiang Yu's nervousness and gently held her hand.

"Yu'er, don't be afraid, we are here."

Her voice was gentle and firm, giving Jiang Yu great courage and comfort.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a remote house in the south of the city.

Lu Shengyuan went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and a man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face stuck his head out.

"Who are you? What's wrong?"

The man stared at Lu Shengyuan and others warily and asked in a bad tone.

"Are you Li Si?"

Lu Shengyuan took a step forward and stared at the man coldly.

Li Si was shocked by Lu Shengyuan's aura and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

"Yes...it's me, what's wrong?"

He answered with a slight stammer.

"We have something to ask you, and you'd better answer honestly."

As Lu Shengyuan spoke, he pushed open the door and walked in with Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing.

Seeing this, Li Si was shocked, but did not dare to resist.

He secretly wondered about the origins of these people and felt uneasy.

"You...what do you want to do?"

he asked shakily.

"We want to know how you suddenly became so rich recently. What's going on?"

Lu Shengyuan asked directly.

When Li Si heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He subconsciously touched the banknotes in his arms, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"This... this is my own money, what does it have to do with you?"

It is different from others.

"is it?"

Lu Shengyuan sneered, "Then can you explain why your money is related to the Jiang family's wrongful imprisonment?"

When Li Si heard this, he was struck by lightning.

He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Shengyuan and others in disbelief.

"You...how do you know?"

He asked in a trembling voice, his heart filled with fear.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."

Lu Shengyuan stared at Li Si coldly, "Tell me, what did you do?"

Under Lu Shengyuan's gaze, Li Si's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

He collapsed on the ground and confessed everything in a trembling voice.
