Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

The Second Prince, Yuwen Yi, was shocked at first, but then he immediately realized something was wrong: "Their route shouldn't pass through Hao County. Check it out! Check it out thoroughly!"

In order to find out the truth, the envoys were intercepted and returned to Kyoto.

Zhao Yurou naturally followed him back. She didn't expect that she could really return to Kyoto and hide in the Duke's Mansion, refusing to come out no matter who called her.

"I don't know why, the Third Prince has always suspected that someone in the team would plot against him, so he deliberately planned to leave. How could he have thought that he would die on the road like this." The faces of the envoys were pale. Now that the Third Prince was dead, they would probably not have a good ending when they returned to Zi Luo Country.

"You must give us an explanation. The Third Prince is such a martial arts master, how could he die!" Someone shouted, trying to shirk responsibility.

The Second Prince sneered, "We've got guards protecting us along the way. Would anything have happened if we'd stayed put? It was you, the Third Prince, who insisted on leaving the group and covering up your tracks, ultimately making matters worse. Now that you've gotten into trouble, who can you blame?"

The envoys looked at each other in bewilderment, then said, "Whoever killed this person needs to give us an explanation. At least the murderer needs to be caught. How can someone be killed for no reason?"

The Second Prince took a deep breath and ordered the eunuch, "Tell the people from the Dali Temple to investigate. Give them ten days. They must find the murderer and bring him to justice!"

The news of Fan Yunfei's death caused quite a stir in the capital, and many people were speculating about who killed him.

Du Zhijie had deliberately provoked him, and then provoked Zhao Yurou's poisoning incident. Fan Yunfei, who was already irritable, suspicious, and extremely confident, had predicted that he would use a trick to escape and leave the protection circle. Killing him would be as easy as pie.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one thought about Du Zhijie.

Some people also suspect that Fan Yunfei's death was just an accident.

"You said that if the Third Prince of Ziluo Country had stayed in the team, with so many people protecting him, nothing would have happened to him."

"That's right, and besides, Wu County was plagued by bandits in the past. The Third Prince was dressed in luxurious attire. Could he have been killed by bandits?"

"How is that possible? Have you forgotten that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to lead troops to suppress the bandits two years ago? The bandits in Wu County were long gone."

"Yeah, if you ask me, is it possible that someone in the Zi Luo Kingdom's royal family didn't want him to return home, so they took the opportunity to kill him?"

"Killed by people from Zi Luo Country? Well, I think that's very likely..."

......

Now, many people even cast their suspicions on the Duke's Mansion. After all, Zhao Yurou was once a beloved young lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and before the marriage, Fan Yunfei was caught having an affair with a maid. She was insulted like this, so it was very likely that the Duke's Mansion had hired someone to kill her.

Because of this, the Duke's Mansion kept its doors closed all day.

The people in the Marquis' Mansion had no intention of paying attention to the outside world's discussions. After all, the innocent will be innocent, and once the Dali Temple finds out the truth, it will naturally have nothing to do with them.

What Zhao Yurou didn't expect was that she felt like an outsider when she returned to the Duke's Mansion this time. Her grandmother who had always loved her didn't come to see her, and her father, whom she had called for more than ten years, didn't even say a word of greeting.

When she returned to her yard, she saw that all the servants had been replaced and were blocking her from entering.

"Who are you? Did father arrange for you to clean the yard? Open your eyes and see clearly. I am the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and this is my yard!" Zhao Yurou was angry and started arguing with the servants.

"What do you mean by your yard? Now that you're married, this yard must be empty!" A little maidservant who didn't know her shouted unconvincedly.

The dispute between her and the little girl naturally reached the old lady of the Duke's Mansion. She frowned and said, "What's going on outside? There's so much noise."

A maid came in with an embarrassed look on her face: "Old Madam, it seems that the eldest lady has returned."

"Didn't she marry into the Zi Luo Kingdom? Why is she back? Help me out to take a look." The old lady was a little surprised. When she walked out of the house, she saw that the maid beside Zhao Yurou and her own maid were already wrestling with each other.

Zhao Yurou was stunned when she saw her, and she didn't expect that she would alarm her grandmother.

Duke Zhao had also rushed over. Seeing the chaotic and noisy scene, his head ached and he shouted angrily, "What are you all doing? This is unbelievable! If you continue to beat them, I'll sell them all out!"

When the maids heard this, they stopped making noise and all of them stopped, their clothes torn into a tangled mess.

"Father, grandmother, you're finally here..." Zhao Yurou stamped her feet, her eyes reddening. "I just left, how could you guard my yard? I can't even live here now that I'm here."

Duke Zhao's face was a little gloomy. When he first learned that Zhao Yurou had returned, he felt something was wrong, and now things really started to get out of hand.

The old lady had always doted on Zhao Yurou. When she heard that Zhao Yurou was going to marry into the Zi Luo Kingdom, she had a quarrel with her son. However, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order. For the sake of the stability of the Duke's Mansion, she naturally knew what was more important, so she gave up Zhao Yurou and saved the Duke's Mansion.

Seeing Zhao Yurou at this time, the old lady was very happy: "Yurou, why did you come back suddenly? Well, it's good to be back. You are still your grandmother's good granddaughter."

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion took Zhao Yurou's hand and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"grandmother."

Zhao Yurou threw herself into the old lady's arms and cried aggrievedly, "Grandma, I've always thought that you all don't want Rouer anymore. I'm so worried and scared. I'm so scared that I won't be able to see you again."

"Silly child, how could grandma not want you? You are my sweetheart!"

The old lady also had tears in her eyes, and there was a hint of blame in her eyes as she looked at Duke Zhao.

Seeing Zhao Yurou crying non-stop, Duke Zhao was displeased. "Why are you crying as soon as you come back? Look at yourself now. How can you look like a lady from a noble family?"

"Father, I didn't sneak back. It was the Third Prince Fan Yunfei who died. I don't have to go to Ziluo Country to marry."

Zhao Yurou pouted: "Father, are you really not happy at all that I'm back?"

Hearing this, Duke Zhao was stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about? You ran away from the marriage, so why did you curse the Third Prince's death? Do you want the entire Duke's Mansion to be buried with you?"

"Father, I really didn't say anything nonsense. Fan Yunfei is really dead, otherwise how could I come back!" Zhao Yurou saw that Duke Zhao obviously didn't believe her. She was anxious and angry, and her tears kept falling like beads with broken strings.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly comforted the crying Zhao Yurou in his arms. "Okay, now that you're back, stay with me, an old woman, in the mansion from now on."

Seeing that the old lady protected her so much, Duke Zhao didn't want to blame her.
