Duke Wei ignored Wu Deyong, and in the end Qin Bingrong gave Wu Deyong a ride and sent him home.

As soon as Wu Deyong arrived at the gate, he saw Wu Yunyang waiting there.

Wu Yunyang stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Dad, you're finally back.

I'm telling you, if I get angry with you later, you must be patient and don't make me angry."

Wu Deyong pulled Wu Yunyang and asked in a low voice: "Son, tell me, what happened?"

Wu Yunyang asked, "Dad, you didn't go back to the Changning County Office?"

Wu Deyong was puzzled as to why his father and son kept asking him if he had returned to the Changning County government office. He shook his head and said, "No, I went straight back to the capital."

Wu Yunyang looked at Wu Deyong with a complicated expression, which made Wu Deyong feel very nervous.

"Ah... Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you." Wu Yunyang patted Wu Deyong's arm and said, "Dad, first of all, I want to congratulate you. You're a father again."

"what does it mean?"

"What do you mean, don't you understand? Mom is pregnant again.

It has been more than three months, and you have ignored me during these months.

Mother left Tian Qi in Changning County to wait for you, and by the way, tell you that mother is pregnant.

But you didn't go back, and now you are in big trouble."

Wu Deyong ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "Madam, my husband is back..., Madam, my husband is back..."

Wu Bangtai had already told Ye Hongyun that Wu Deyong was back, and at this moment Ye Hongyun was chatting with Mrs. Cai.

Wu Deyong ran up to Ye Hongyun excitedly with a flattering smile on his face.

"Madam, I've failed in my duty. How are you feeling now? Are you tired? Do you want to lie down on the bed and rest?"

Ye Hongyun seemed not to see Wu Deyong, nor to hear Wu Deyong's voice, and continued to talk to Mrs. Cai.

Old Madam Cai acted as if she didn't see Wu Deyong and continued chatting with Ye Hongyun with a smile.

Wu Deyong stood there, his smile gradually froze, he couldn't move forward or backward, the scene was extremely awkward.

Wu Yunyang sighed helplessly, thinking that life was too difficult for his father.

Wu Deyong cleared his throat and said softly, "Madam, I really know I was wrong. I was really busy with official duties before, so I neglected you. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing her son constantly apologizing, Mrs. Cai still felt sorry for him, so she asked, "Do you really know you're wrong?"

"Mom, I really know I was wrong."

Madam Cai coughed dryly, "Ahem, Hongyun, why don't you just let him go this time? If it happens again, I'll take care of him for you."

Since Mrs. Cai had spoken, Ye Hongyun had no choice but to give Wu De a way out.

Ye Hongyun said, "Mom, I'm going back to the house to rest first."

Madam Cai smiled and nodded, "Well, go ahead."

Ye Hongyun turned around and went back to the house. Mrs. Cai winked at Wu Deyong, asking him to follow quickly.

After Wu Deyong bowed silently to Mrs. Cai, he hurriedly followed Ye Hongyun into their house.

Wu Deyong helped Ye Hongyun onto the bed, with an auntie smile on his face, "Madam, don't be angry. I will definitely accompany you well in the future.

This time, the situation is indeed special, and it is really difficult for me to leave. Madam, please forgive me..."

Ye Hongyun snorted, ignored Wu Deyong, and lay down in bed.

……

It was the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the day for Wang Xingren and Zhang Dahua’s wedding was approaching.

Zhang Hulan has been traveling in Beijing with her family almost every day these days.

It is not easy for Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang to come here, and they will have to return to Changning County in a few days.

I don’t know if they will come to Beijing again in the future, so Zhang Hulan wants to take them out to play more.

Zhang Hulan has been particularly careful these days and keeps an eye on Zhang Dahua at all times.

That night, someone appeared outside Zhang Hulan's house again, this time there was only one person.

The man was wearing black clothes and a mask, holding a long sword.

Late at night, the man in black slowly walked towards Zhang Hulan's house with a calm expression, without any caution or panic of doing something bad.

When he reached the outside of the courtyard wall and was about to jump into the yard, a sword was suddenly placed on his shoulder.

The man in black tensed up and didn't dare to move.

This person appeared behind him silently, but he didn't notice it at all. His martial arts skills must be much higher than his.

A voice sounded at him, "You'd better not move."

The man in black asked, "Who are you?"

"Turn around and move forward."

When they were far away, the man in black asked again, "Who are you, sir?"

"Don't worry about who I am, you just need to answer my questions."

"What do you want to know, Your Excellency?"

"Who asked you to come?"

The man in black was obviously stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"

The man in black only felt a cold and stinging sensation on his neck. The sword had cut through the skin on his neck.

"answer my question."

The man in black said hurriedly, "The steward of the Li Mansion invited me here."

After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly covered his neck and blood flowed out from between his fingers.

The body of the man in black fell to the bottom, and a figure passed by the corpse and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, big news broke in the capital.

Another murder occurred last night and three more people died.

One died on the street, and the other two died in the mansion.

One was the steward of the Li Mansion, and the other was the daughter of Marquis Wang. All three had their throats slashed by a sword.

When Zhang Hulan heard the news, she was half surprised and half confused.

How could Wang Xiaorong suddenly die? She was shocked and wondered who killed her.

The entire Wang family went to Li Mansion.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture went to Li Prefecture to investigate in person, but found nothing.

It was done so cleanly that there wasn't a single clue.

Old Madam Yang and Li He cried very sadly.

Old Madam Yang cried and said to Old Marquis Wang, "Old man, you must find the murderer and avenge Xiaorong."

Li He also cried and said, "Grandfather, you must avenge my mother..."

Li He hugged Old Madam Yang and burst into tears, "Grandma, my parents are gone..."

Old Madam Yang also cried very sadly. She patted Li He's back and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, He'er. You still have my grandparents. Don't be afraid, He'er..."

Old Marquis Wang and Marquis Jing'an both had ashen faces. Although they had been somewhat unhappy with Wang Xiaorong these days, they were their daughter and sister, and they were very angry about the sudden death of their loved ones.

Both Lord Wang and Marquis Jing'an put pressure on the prefect to find the murderer as soon as possible.

But there are no clues, how can we investigate?

The case can only be investigated slowly, but Wang Xiaorong's funeral cannot wait.

Li He's grandparents are still alive, and she also has a younger uncle, who are responsible for Wang Xiaorong's funeral.

After Wang Xiaorong's funeral, the wedding date of Wang Xingren and Zhang Dahua arrived.

Li He mentioned to Madam Yang that she wanted to live in the Wang family and live with Madam Yang in the future.

Although Madam Yang felt sorry for her granddaughter, she did not agree. At least she did not agree to let Li He go to the Wang family right away.
