"When it's time to make it public, it will be made public. If you dare to make your own decisions again, don't blame me for not caring about family ties."

Mrs. Wu left after saying this.

"Son, what should we do now?" Luo's mother saw that her sister left without giving a specific explanation. She was confused and looked at Luo Chengzhou.

Luo Chengzhou was also very agitated.

Then he said perfunctorily, "Let's wait until my uncle's funeral is over. My aunt won't leave us alone."

At least she won't let Cong Yun's reputation be ruined.

But he had no idea how to do it, or how Mrs. Wu would help them save their face, so he found an excuse and went to his yard, looking for a place to be quiet.

As soon as he sat down at the table, he heard movement behind him. He turned his head and met a pair of cold eyes.

Further down, there is a dagger with a cold light in the woman's hand, which is touching his heart...

After Mrs. Wu came out from Luo Congyun's place, she went back to her yard.

After drinking a cup of ginseng tea, he calmed down his anger. After taking a short rest, he went to the mourning hall again.

When something like this happened today, even though the Luo family was just a relative, the Wu family was also disgraced.

In this capital city, the most important thing is dignity.

What's more, now that the master is gone, the sons have not improved for the time being, and they have to work hard so that the Wu family can continue to gain a foothold in the capital.

She was talking to the remaining mistresses about how difficult it was for her to explain, when she saw Luo Congyun's maid staggering over, "It's not good, it's not good, my young master has committed suicide..."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Wu couldn't believe it.

How could Luo Chengzhou commit suicide?

Immediately she remembered that Wu Yuchu, who had been assassinated, picked up her skirt and ran to the guest house without caring about the people in the hall.

You followed her boldly.

Luo Chengzhou was lying on the desk, holding a dagger in his hand and bleeding from his neck.

Luo's mother arrived only a moment earlier than Mrs. Wu. Seeing her son like this, she was already frightened and at a loss. "Doctor, doctor, sister, please call a doctor for Chengzhou quickly..."

Mrs. Wu stepped forward and probed Luo Chengzhou's breath with trembling fingers.

Already out of breath.

She staggered back.

"Sister, hurry up, call a doctor for Cheng Zhou." Luo's mother was still shouting, "Sister, you can't watch him die. My son, why can't you think about it..."

How could a person who wanted to rely on Luo Congyun commit suicide?

Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and tried to calm herself down.

Someone pointed to a middle coat hanging on a hanger and said, "There are writings on that dress. Could it be a blood letter?"

A servant was busy and took off the clothes and handed them to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu unfolded it and read only a few lines. Her expression changed drastically. She hurriedly rolled her clothes into a ball and said to the guard, "It's not a suicide, it's a murder. Hurry, go and investigate."

He then said to the others who were following him, "I'm really sorry. There are assassins in the house. It may not be safe here. You should go back to the mourning hall first."

As she spoke, she rubbed the bloody clothes tighter and wanted to follow the crowd out. She had to destroy the bloody clothes in time.

Luo's mother was crying sadly. After hearing this, she looked at her suddenly and asked, "Did King Rong kill my son?"

Even if she had this suspicion, Mrs. Wu couldn't say it in front of everyone, so she remained silent.

Seeing that she was looking wrong, Luo's mother rushed over and tried to snatch the Zhongyi from her hand.

Mrs. Wu held on tightly. When Luo Congyun's maid saw this, she cried, "Mrs. Wu, please pity my wife for losing her son. At least let her see what my young master left."

With the help of the maid, Luo Mu quickly snatched the middle coat, spread her hands, and hurriedly read the contents.

Those who had not been able to read the contents before also took the opportunity to read the contents of the blood book.

Mrs. Wu closed her eyes weakly.

In the blood letter, Luo Chengzhou confessed that he had gone against the rules and had been married to his sister for many years. He came to the capital because he had information about Wu Yuchu and wanted to blackmail Wu Yuchu into finding an official position for him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuchu died, and the affair between him and his sister was exposed. His future was hopeless, and he was even more embarrassed to live, so he wiped his neck.

The clue he gave was that during the Battle of Huangshaling three years ago, General Wei sent escort Yan Qing to Ganzhou to mobilize troops. Wu Yuchu refused to mobilize troops, and the villains pursued Yan Qing.

"What...what does this mean?" Luo's mother looked at Mrs. Wu.

She also knows what Huangshaling is.

General Protector and Yan Qing died in battle, and she complained for a long time. She expected the Wei family to promote the Luo family, but in the end she got no benefits and died.

Was it actually his brother-in-law who killed him?

Then how could Cheng Zhou know about his brother-in-law?

She immediately thought that her son had indeed insisted on coming to the capital this time.

Could it be that Cheng Zhou really saw that his future was hopeless, and he had lost face again today, and he couldn't think about it for a moment?

Mrs. Wu knew that this sister had never been smart, so she calmed down and explained, "Chengzhou would not commit suicide, someone killed him, and the contents of this blood letter cannot be taken seriously.

The most important thing now is to find the murderer..."

She paused. If she wanted to find the murderer, she would have to report it to the official. If she reported it to the official, the bloody letter would have to be leaked.

What happened back then can no longer be concealed.

After seeing the contents of the blood letter, her first reaction in panic was to deny that Luo Chengzhou committed suicide, so there was no such thing as leaving a note before his death.

She just wanted to burn her clothes quickly.

She did it wrong.

In fact, it was determined that Cheng Zhou had committed suicide, and the blood letter could not be concealed. There were too many people following him, and there was also a sister who was not very bright-minded.

Is this the murderer's purpose in choosing today to strike?

Is it to take revenge for what happened three years ago?

Then... Master, will he... also die in the hands of this person?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu's legs felt a little weak and her back felt chilly.

Luo's mother thought about Mrs. Wu's words and concluded that her son would not commit suicide. She hurriedly cried, "Report to the official, report to the official, find the murderer, and avenge my son..."

Mrs. Wu did not stop.

The blood book has been read by too many people, and it is too late to stop it.

Is this also part of the murderer's plan?

Mrs. Wu concealed the panic in her eyes and slowly leaned on the mother-in-law behind her. She couldn't help herself. Even if the government was investigating what happened back then, she was just a housewife. How could she understand what the master had done? died.

In the Anyuanhou Mansion.

Du Xueyi turned his back to the screen, "Boss, the Wu Mansion has reported to the official, and the contents of the blood letter have also spread."

"Yes." Wei Qingyan walked out from behind the screen, holding a set of clothes in his hand, which was stained with blood.

She accidentally got it on when she held Luo Chengzhou's hand and cut his throat with the dagger.

Seeing this, Du Xueyi took out the fire seal from his body and handed it to her.

Wei Qingyan threw his clothes into the brazier and blew on the fire.

When the clothes were burning, Du Xueyi asked through the firelight, "Boss, why do you want to make public what happened three years ago? Will this alert others?"

"Yes." Wei Qingyan nodded, "The other party is too hidden. What we can find is limited, so we might as well lure them into action."

It is most convenient to speak through the mouth of the dead.

Anyone who wants to doubt whether Luo Chengzhou really knows Wu Yuchu's secret can only bother him to go down and ask Luo Chengzhou.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Du Xueyi hesitated.

Wei Qingyan looked at him for a moment and then asked, "Xueyi, knowing that there is something fishy about my death in battle, will mother return to the capital?"

"You want Madam back."

Suppressing the word "why", he tried his best to maintain a calm and objective analysis, "Madam values ​​your reputation most. If her son's death is unjust, she, as a mother, cannot ignore it, so she will definitely come back."

Yes, mother’s reputation is the most important.

For the sake of her reputation as a good mother, she will come back.

In the same way, the emperor also attaches great importance to the reputation of the virtuous. Even if he doesn't want to investigate, he still has to investigate.

Wei Qingyan sneered in his heart, stood up and said, "We can no longer hide Yan Qing's matter from Yan Lan."

She had to have a good talk with her.

Du Xueyi also followed. As soon as the two of them left Fengxiao Yuan, they heard A Lu coming to report, "Master Hou, Mr. Gong, the young minister of Dali Temple, has sent a message and wants to visit with his wife."

Wei Qingyan was stunned.

Eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law?
