However, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have surrounded the entire Jiang family.

Master Jiang San suddenly went crazy and killed dozens of people. This was no small matter.

Moreover, half of the dead and injured were Jiang family members, and the other half were officials and servants of prominent families who came to celebrate Old Madam Jiang's birthday today, and some even had four masters.

This matter was too strange, but it was impossible to lock up hundreds of guests and servants in the Jiang family.

Therefore, before leaving the Jiang family's gate one by one, all the departing guests had to sign their names so that when the case was investigated in the future, they could trace each family back.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi were walking together. They were just merchants from ordinary backgrounds, and their backgrounds were unremarkable except for their looks.

So after signing my name, I was quickly waved away and scolded.

The two of them met up with the carriage brought by Sha San and his men two streets away.

As soon as we got in the car, Nanny Zheng and Wu Quan had already come back with the news.

"Your Highness, Miss, we've found out. The four masters implicated and killed were the second daughter of the Cai family, the wife of the Wang family, the concubine of the Zhao family, and the most distinguished person - the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, Zhang."

"Coincidentally, this Zhang is the biological sister of the Second Prince Consort."

Li Qingluo: "Zhang Tingjiu? (This word is pronounced with the third tone jiu in the original text)"

It was actually a coincidence that they were related to someone they knew.

The streets are also very lively at this moment.

Everyone was talking about the big event that happened in the Jiang family today.

Moreover, the Dingyuan Marquis family had obviously received the news, and was now rushing towards the Jiang family with several other families in a hurried, aggressive, and sad-looking manner.

Li Qingluo looked out from the gap in the car curtain.

She lowered the curtain only after both sides had completely passed each other.

"Ashi, it's poison."

She told him about how she and Que'er met Jiang Shisanniang outside the bathroom.

"Besides, there's definitely something fishy about this Jiang Shisanniang!"

Duan Rongshi had already brought clean clothes for Li Qingluo to change into.

After throwing away the bloodstained and smelly coat, Que'er immediately put it away.

After tying their belts, the two continued talking about the matter.

Duan Rongshi: "Luo'er, tell me about your suspicions."

Li Qingluo: "First of all, there is too much blood on her body."

"If it had only touched her personal maid, it wouldn't have been sprayed all over her. It looks more like she was standing opposite and the deceased sprayed her directly."

"If she just happened to be standing opposite the deceased and got stained with blood, that would be even more inappropriate."

"The nanny chasing her was huge and strong, with sturdy limbs. It took a lot for Que'er to kill her."

"If she was standing so close to the deceased, how did she escape from his grasp and even get to the toilet?"

"Along the way, we also saw the bodies of several maids and nannies. If the nanny who was chasing her had killed someone else halfway, wouldn't she have hidden herself completely long ago?"

"But we saw that the distance between her and the nun was only about twenty steps."

Duan Rongshi: "Do you suspect that the blood on her body was from someone she took advantage of to kill?"

"Also, did she deliberately try to lure that nanny around in the backyard?"

"Luo'er, is her target you?"

Li Qingluo shook his head: "That's not the case. I don't know her at all. Her meeting me and Que'er was definitely a coincidence."

"However, what really caught my attention was her cold attitude towards her father."

Duan Rongshi: "How do you say that?"

Li Qingluo: "I heard a lot of interesting secrets about the major families in Nan'an at the restaurant. Among them, I also heard about the Jiang family."

"This Third Master Jiang is the old lady's third legitimate son. Because Old Master Jiang was promoted several times in the year of his birth, both Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang dote on this legitimate youngest son."

"But after being spoiled so much, this Third Master Jiang has become a bit spoiled."

"Although he became an official when he grew up, he was mediocre, incompetent, and had a bad temper compared to the eldest son."

"Moreover, he favors his concubine over his wife."

"The laws in Da Chu protecting wives are not as friendly as those in Daliang. Any wife who sues her husband will be killed."

"In the Chu Kingdom, there's no such thing as divorce, only divorce. Furthermore, divorced women can't remarry. Returning to their parents' home usually results in either suicide or being despised and scorned by the world until they become depressed and unhappy."

"This Jiang San's wife suffered humiliation because he favored his concubine over his wife. I heard she was hanged in the middle of the night from the locust tree outside the concubine's door."

"After her death, this concubine was immediately made the wife of Master Jiang San."

"And the wife left behind a son and a daughter. The daughter is Jiang Shisan Niang, and the son is being raised by a concubine. It is said that his temperament has become somewhat distorted."

Li Qingluo thought of the woman he saw today and the three children beside her.

The concubine was born with a delicate but beautiful appearance. She would cry and make a fuss when something happened, and she would bring her child with her to get close to Master Jiang San.

Where is the brain of a legal wife?

The three children are two girls and one boy.

The boy among them must be Jiang Shisanniang's younger brother.

So, this concubine gave birth to two daughters.

That's why he raised Jiang Shisan Niang's younger brother by his side.

Li Qingluo: "Although Jiang Shisanniang looked extremely scared and called out 'Dad' anxiously, she didn't show any intention of moving closer."

"But after Master Jiang San was knocked unconscious, I observed that her eyes were extremely cold."

"There's not a shred of the fear and intimidation I had before."

"The most important thing is that at this juncture, she still has the heart to focus on you."

At this point, Li Qingluo felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Duan Rongshi was stunned for a moment.

"Are you jealous?"

"Just because she looked at me a few times?"

He felt so happy that he couldn't help but pull Li Qingluo into his arms again.

"Luo'er, I'm very happy."

I'm glad that he noticed that other girls were paying attention to me.

This happiness has nothing to do with others, it's just because Li Qingluo cares about him so much.

Although Jiang Shisanniang's eyes disgusted him.

But Li Qingluo's concern made Duan Rongshi feel as if he had eaten honey.

Li Qingluo held his face and said, "Stop attracting attention. Do you hear me?"

"If you dare to bring me a concubine and even favor her over my wife, Duan Rongshi, I will never let you go in this life!"

Although she used to think that at worst she could just leave and stay away from the world like her grandmother.

Even though Da Chu couldn't get a divorce, couldn't she still go back to Daliang and get a divorce?

However, since the marriage consummation, her thoughts have completely changed.

If she is betrayed, she will never let him off easily!

Although, Duan Rongshi would never do such a thing.

At this moment, she firmly believed that she was the only one in his heart.

But who can say for sure what will happen in this world?

She never questioned his sincerity, but sincerity could change in an instant.

Duan Rongshi was hurt by her eyes.

"Luo'er, the ifs in this world will never happen to me, Duan Rongshi."

"Otherwise, I will die a miserable death."

"Life after life, I have been reduced to the realm of animals, unworthy of being a human."
