Chapter 323: This is a warning
The fourth prince won cleanly.
Satisfied mentally and physically, Lu Zhi took a completely comfortable bath.
I felt a lot more relaxed all over my body.
Brother Si once again placed his limp wife on the couch.
Seeing her nuzzling the warm pillow like a satiated kitten, my heart suddenly surged with unspeakable affection.
Little Fujin closed his eyes.
Brother Si was thinking of letting her eat something first and then continue to rest.
Outside, Su Peisheng poked his head around.
Under his strict orders last night, Su Peisheng did not dare to disturb him.
Now this action, presumably because there is news in the capital.
Fourth Brother stood up, put on his cloak, and leaned against the window lattice.
"Master, it's done."
"It has started to spread outside."
Fourth Prince thought.
Fujin's voice came from inside: "Master, what's wrong?"
Brother Si waved his hand, and Su Peisheng retreated.
"Something happened in Beijing."
"The legitimate wife of a high-ranking official was ambushed and killed by his servants."
Lu Pheasant suddenly woke up: "Has the murderer been found?"
Fourth elder brother nodded.
In the flash of lightning, Lu Pheasant suddenly understood who this senior official was: "But the person next to the eldest brother?"
Senior officials...
Fourth elder brother nodded.
"Is it the Nalan family?"
"Is this what I said before, asking me to wait?"
The eldest brother took advantage of Qi Guang, intending to use Si Fujin's flirtatious behavior to ruin the fourth brother's reputation.
For this grudge, Lu Pheasant started from Dafu Jin, intending to retaliate in his own way.
The preparations were still being made, but the little beloved moved quickly.
It can be seen that the eldest brother has touched the reverse scale of both of them this time.
Brother Si nodded slightly.
Lu Zhi wanted to get up, but he succumbed to the soreness in his waist and collapsed.
"Master, are you going back to Beijing?"
At this time, Lu Fei would feel itchy if he didn't go back to watch the show.
The fourth elder brother was still hesitating. Seeing little Fujin's appearance, he smiled and said, "If Fujin wants to go back, we will go back."
Then he said: "Fu Jin, if we can go back, we will go back."
Lu Pheasant: "..."
Wait!
She started practicing as soon as she got back!

The long winter days are perfect for chatting around the fire at home.
"Have you heard? Nalan Mingzhu's wife was killed."
"What? But I committed a crime and I didn't hear about it."
"No. Let's just say it's an assassination."
"With Suo'etu gone, who else can assassinate people from Nalan Mingzhu's family? That's the Jueluo family!"
"Who knows? Maybe it was because of Suo'etu's absence that the Nalan Pearl started to tremble. Isn't this retribution?"
"Master Jueluo, I've seen him before, and her face looked kind, so why did she suddenly disappear?"
The man sneered: "Then you really don't know the inside story."
"Jue Luo is polite to outsiders, but inside, I heard that not too many servants are taken out of her house every year."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Nalan Mingzhu was probably afraid of the news outside, so she kept covering it up. Now it's better, the person is gone in an instant, and there's no way to cover it up."
"What do you mean? Could it be that this Jueluo family was killed by a servant?"
"Do they still have the guts?"
"If you have the guts and can kill successfully, then it's worth mentioning."
"How hateful is this?"
"Jue Luo may not be extremely cruel in private."
"Who says it's not the case? Now I'm thinking, have I ever offended her before?"
…
The eldest brother's house.
Nalan Mingzhu was dressed in a hemp-colored robe with a dark face. She heard her eldest brother furious at the side: "Over there in Huguang, Nalan Kuexu is still watching. Now that something has happened at your home, he has to come back."
“What about improved rice varieties?”
"Also, the mother-in-law has been locked up for so long, and her health is getting worse day by day. You have always told me not to be anxious, so how long do you want me to wait?"
"There is a lot of gossip outside, and I can't get out. You should say something, Lord Nalan!"
Nalan Mingzhu clenched his hands: "Brother, what do you want to hear the old minister say?"
"Are my words still useful now?"
"My eldest brother has just been released from confinement and sent himself back to the mansion for confinement. What did the old minister say? Is it still useful?"
The eldest brother was stunned: "Nalan Mingzhu, what do you mean?"
"Are you blaming me?"
Nalan Mingzhu sighed deeply, stood up and saluted: "Brother, please forgive me."
"Such a big thing happened in my family just now, and I lost my composure for a moment."
Outside, Dafujin came in with tea: "Master Nalan, this is Xingong's Dahongpao. Da A'ge specially asked to bring it to you to try."
"You need to take more care of yourself. Now I can only rely on you."
Nalan Mingzhu looked at Dafujin and saluted, "Thank you Dafujin."
Her words were not a reminder to Nalan Mingzhu, but to her eldest brother.
The eldest brother also heard it. He calmed down, and after sitting down, he tried his best to speak slowly: "Master Nalan, has this matter been investigated?"
"Is it really that servant who was dissatisfied with his family being killed, so he planned to enter the palace and take the opportunity to kill the lady?"
Nalan Mingzhu cried loudly: "My wife, she usually has a bad temper. When she gets angry, she will inevitably hit and scold the servants."
"Some servants are not in good health and died accidentally."
"My wife is always comforted. But when he met such a man who was not afraid of death, he entered the house, got in front of her, took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed her."
"After confirming that his wife was dead, he wiped her neck."
"The origin, methods, and who he has met have all been checked. His background is very clean."
"Old wife, she has bad luck."
The eldest brother frowned: "Impossible. I think this matter must have something to do with the fourth brother and his wife."
"If you don't believe me, ask Dafujin if Sifujin came to your door that day and made you angry?"
Dafujin was very embarrassed and shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Sifujin is young. He just came over and said a few words to me. How could he be like what the eldest brother said."
Nalan Mingzhu said coldly: "Eldest Brother, what exactly did you do to Fourth Brother and the others?"
"To make you doubt that they will hold a grudge against my old wife."
"Brother, I said, don't mess with them anymore, why don't you just listen to me?"
"Now that things have come to this, do you still want me to offend them again for the death of my old wife?"
The eldest brother stood up again: "Nalan Mingzhu, you are confused."
"Now, they can even get into your house and kill your wife at will. Then won't they dare to come to my house and kill her..."
His eyes slid past Da Fujin, and he said calmly: "Kill anyone, including me?"
"Can't you see, this is a warning!"
"A warning to you, to me."
