The princess is the only one in Xuanmen, and she is reborn to lift the lid of the prince's coff

"This old lady is a sensible and well-mannered person, and is willing to speak a fair word."

After leaving the backyard, Nanny Yu calmed down, but she couldn't get enough of it and kept staring at Song Wu.

Song Wu supported her and smiled bitterly, "Yeah, it's a pity that it's just the truth."

In reality, Song Wu was raised by the old lady, and logically, they should have a deep affection for each other. But that was not the case. There was not even the closeness between her and the old lady that should be between a grandparent and a grandchild.

On the one hand, the old lady was too strong-willed and lived her entire life in the arena of family reputation and interests; on the other hand, Song Wu had been taught a moral education without any humanity since he was a child under her.

During the years that Song Chuchu was not found, the old lady and the maids around her were extremely strict with her, so strict that she had strict daily rations for eating, traveling, sitting, and lying down.

Especially after the old uncle was killed and the uncle's family was demoted, the burden of the entire uncle's family's future fell on her alone. She was crafted bit by bit by the old lady into a handicraft to be sold at a high price. The name of this object was called a lady from a noble family.

It is said that the old lady is fair and has been brought up in a noble family. It is true that her upbringing has always been strict, and she has always been fair in the Earl's Mansion.

But Song Wu didn't think so when he said she had rules.

Because of something the Taoist priest at Xuanyuan Temple had said many years ago, saying that the Song family would be a prosperous and powerful family in the future, the old lady, knowing full well that she was engaged to Ji Bozhou, still asked her to try her best to meet the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the others.

What is in the old lady's eyes?

There is value, benefit, future, and glory, but unfortunately, there is no one.

Or rather, without her.

Looking at Song Wu's loneliness and silence, Nanny Yu instantly understood.

She held Song Wu's hand tightly, and her heart felt heavy and blocked.

"Your mother is a playful person. If you grew up with her, you would definitely be very happy..."

"I know." Song Wu's eyes turned red, "I know her."

Nanny Yu had a bad knee and was in poor health. Song Wu was wondering how long it would take for her to fully recover when a sudden shout interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh no! Master, oh no!"

Shunzi, the servant beside Song Ming, ran past her in a flash.

Li and Song Ming, who were following Song Wu and Sang Luo not far away, were already very annoyed. There were still many things they hadn't figured out, and they became even more annoyed when they heard those two voices.

Song Ming: "What are you yelling about! He's not dead!"

Shunzi bowed in front of him and wiped his sweat, "Master! Someone is coming from the government office!"

Government office, dead person!

Li suddenly looked up at Song Ming. It felt like there were millions of ants crawling in her heart, and she felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

After Song Ming came back, he did not ask about the reason why Song Chuchu was so angry that she fell ill. He only thought about the truth of Song Wu becoming the adopted daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Naturally, he did not know about this matter.

But he had been with the Li couple for more than 20 years, and he understood the meaning of her expression at a glance, and he felt a chill down his spine.

He took three or two steps towards the door and saw Zheng Lei, the leader of the prison department of the government office, coming in with several runners.

"Master! Long time no see!" Zheng Lei bowed to Song Ming and said, "I came here today to inform you of the recent murder of Li Dagui by Miss Haiyue of your family at the manor."

Song Ming frowned. "But what progress has been made? Sir Zheng, please speak frankly!"

Li stared at Zheng Lei's mouth, waiting to see if he would say something that would scare her.

Zheng Lei glanced at everyone present. "Your servant, Miss Haiyue, who is also a suspect in this case, died in prison after hitting her head against a wall!"

Li's legs suddenly went weak, and her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by a big hand, beating non-stop.

She turned her head and stared at Song Wu, who gave her a meaningful smile in return.

"I guess the maid felt that her behavior was inappropriate, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment?" Song Ming replied indifferently.

He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't understand why Zheng Lei would go to so much trouble to make a special trip just for the sake of a maid's death, which could be solved by sending someone to inform them.

Song Chusi followed, covering his face with Song Wu's fingerprints, pretending to have a toothache. "This maid was wrongly accused, and she was unwilling to accept it, so she died to prove her guilt. Now she's caused another death. Lord Zheng, please investigate thoroughly!"

Song Wu walked towards Zheng Lei, and Li immediately blocked her way: "Madam Yu is still sick, you should go back quickly!"

Song Wu turned a corner and avoided the question, as if he hadn't heard it. "Master Zheng, you came here because you think the maid didn't commit suicide, right? Otherwise, why would you come here in person?"

Zheng Lei glanced at Song Wu and said, "The young lady who went to the prison today is not you. Tell that young lady to come out!"

Song Chusi snorted complacently at Song Wu and said with a cupped hand, "Master Zheng, it is my second sister whom you are visiting in prison today. Thank you for understanding my second sister's grief and making this special trip.

However, she was too sick to get out of bed when she returned today, so it might be inconvenient for her to come out. However, we still want to thank you, Master Zheng, and we will comfort your second sister."

Song Ming also agreed with Song Chusi, feeling that this kid had indeed learned some truths in the academy. Look at the way he treats people, he is indeed much better than the boss!

Zheng Lei felt that the people in the Bo Mansion were deliberately unable to distinguish good from bad, and he was a little annoyed. "But no matter what, we must meet this Second Young Lady today! Haiyue only saw the Second Young Lady in the past two days, and she died as soon as she left. We suspect that Haiyue did not commit suicide in prison, but was coerced and killed!"

Song Ming's face changed drastically, and he asked why Zheng Lei looked at him with a strange expression, it was actually like this!

Song Wu chuckled, and the sound was particularly eye-catching.

Li quickly spoke before her, "My lord, Haiyue has always been on Chuchu's side. She's worried that this incident will damage Chuchu's reputation. It's not impossible that she committed suicide... Moreover, it was not Haiyue who killed Li Dagui! It was..."

She covered her face with her hands in great pain and unwillingness, glanced in Song Wu's direction, and after a long while, she squeezed out the following words: "But it's my eldest daughter... Song Wu...

Because she is the eldest daughter of the family, we really wanted to protect her, so we didn't tell the truth. And Haiyue...she was indeed wronged!"

Nanny Yu and Sang Luo were horrified by these words. Song Wu looked at them, shook his head and gave them a soothing look.

"Madam!" Song Wu said indifferently, "Second Miss sent someone to rape and kill me earlier. I managed to escape with great difficulty. This is a fact known to the entire capital.

And that day, it was the guards around Prince Jin who saved me, and I have witnesses!"

She strolled around the Li family's courtyard, "Because the person who tried to kill me failed, Haiyue killed Li Dagui directly, hoping to leave no evidence. Now she's afraid that Haiyue will reveal the truth again, so the second lady went to kill Haiyue.

It's such an obvious thing, why did Madam make such a blunder and put the blame of the Second Young Lady's murder on me, the victim?"

"You're so sharp-tongued!" Song Ming couldn't help but yelled at Song Wu impatiently, "Master Zheng hasn't said anything yet, when is it your turn to interrupt?

Are you really going to completely ruin Chuchu's reputation?!"

At this time, another tall figure stood outside the door of the Bo Mansion. Hearing this, he stopped moving forward.

Song Wu had an intriguing smile in his eyes. "Why are you so anxious, Lord? Lord Zheng just asked Song Chuchu to come out for questioning, and I was just stating the facts. How did it become like I was trying to ruin her reputation?"

"Sir!" A clear and gentle voice came, and Song Chuchu walked out with the support of two maids, looking as weak as a willow in the wind.
