Xiao Zeyu had instructed them not to rest and to ride at full speed. But even so, the sky was already dark by the time he and Xiao Ying returned to Mo City. The guards had just closed the city gates when Xiao Zeyu’s guards went over to call on them.

The guards held the documents Cheng Yu had given them, and the city guards opened the city gates to let them in.

Xiao Zeyu pulled open the curtains and looked outside. Hesitation flashed in his eyes. The sky was already dark. Should he wait until tomorrow morning to go?

However, this thought momentarily flashed through Xiao Zeyu’s mind before

he immediately rejected it. No, he couldn’t wait.

Xiao Zeyu didn’t go to the government office. He went straight to the Li family. When he arrived at Li Daniu’s house, he saw white lanterns hanging on both sides of his door. On the lanterns, there was a large and eye-catching word.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and a Taoist priest was ferrying the souls of the dead.

Xiao Zeyu and Xiao Ying did not stop for even a moment when they saw this scene. They immediately got out of the car and walked towards the courtyard. In the courtyard, Li Daniu and Li Shuang’er were kneeling in mourning. Li Shuang’er was crying so hard that her entire body was limp. She needed her husband to support her when kneeling. Li Daniu’s cries shook the sky. He kept kowtowing to the ground until his forehead was bleeding.

Li Daniu’s newly married wife also wore mourning clothes. She did not cry as intensely as Li Daniu and Li Shuang’er. She wiped her tears silently with a handkerchief. She did not kneel properly and just sat there.

When Xiao Zeyu entered and saw the two coffins in the middle of the courtyard, he couldn’t help but clench his fists. Could it be that Aunt Li and Uncle Li had passed away?

“Li Daniu, did aunt and uncle pass away? What is going on? They were always in good health. Why did they suddenly pass away?”

Xiao Zeyu quickly walked over to Li Daniu’s side. The rosewood coffin was as glaring as blood under the light. It had only been a few days since they last met.

The last time they met was at Li Daniu’s wedding. It had only been a few days, and they were already saying goodbye to each other.

Xiao Zeyu was very upset. At the same time, he wanted to find out how Aunt Li and Uncle Li had died.

The road to escape was so tricky, and they had persevered. Why was it gone

just like that?

“Shuisheng, my parents were killed by bandits.

Seeing Xiao Zeyu, Li Daniu cried even harder. He knelt in front of Xiao Zeyu and told him about his parents’ murder.

“This morning, I…I went to the winery. Not long after I arrived at the winery, a servant came to find me and said that my parents had been killed…” Li Daniu cried as he recounted how his parents were killed. The more he spoke, the sadder he became. He cried so much that he almost fainted.

“Is there a thief in your house?”

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes were sharp as he looked at Li Daniu’s wife. She had her head lowered as she wiped away her tears. There was nothing suspicious about her.

“Yes, it’s extraordinary. Why are there thieves so early in the morning?

Li Daniu cried and nodded. He could not understand why there was a thief in broad daylight. Wasn’t Mo City very peaceful? Not to mention that they didn’t pick up anything on the way or enter the house to snatch anything in broad daylight either.

“How do you know it was a thief?”

Xiao Zeyu asked with a dark face. He gestured to the guards to look at Li Daniu’s wife.

“A servant saw a man dressed in green jump out of the wall. My father was lying in a pool of blood, and my mother died in the room. Everything in the room was turned over, and all the banknotes were lost.”

Li Daniu’s eyes turned red. He hated himself for not protecting his mother at home.

“Where were you at that time?”

Xiao Zeyu’s voice was as deep as the ocean. It was cold and harsh. Li Daniu’s wife looked up at him with a confused expression. Her eyes were filled with innocence.Google seaʀᴄh ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

“Of course, I was in my room.”

‘■Men, arrest her. No one in the courtyard is allowed to leave. Ask them

separately.”

Seeing that she was still pretending, Xiao Zeyu ordered coldly. Soon, the guards had the courtyard under control. No one was allowed to leave. One by one, they entered the house to be questioned.

“Daniu, Daniu, are you just going to watch him bully me?

When Li Daniu’s wife saw the guards coming to catch her, she shouted at Li Daniu. She looked like a frightened elk and was extremely frightened.

Li Daniu looked at Xiao Zeyu in a daze. When he realized that his wife was already being held down, he hurriedly said to Xiao Zeyu, “Shuisheng, what’s wrong with Wenxiu? Why did you arrest her?

“She’s a spy. She deliberately infiltrated your house. I suspect that she killed your parents.”

Xiao Zeyu’s face was dark as he stood with his hands behind his back. He was no longer Li Daniu’s sworn brother but the emperor who ruled the world. His voice was dignified and cold, and he spoke with absolute certainty.

“No, no, no. I’m not, I’m not.”

Two guards held down Wen Xiu. She struggled in fear and shouted for Li Daniu to save her,

“Daniu, save me! Daniu, save me!”

Li Daniu’s expression was complicated. He understood Shuisheng too well. If his wife had not aroused his suspicion, he would not have rashly moved to capture her.

But Wen Xiu was so timid and weak. How did she kill her parents?

Father’s body was very good, and even young men might not be as strong as him. Mother’s body was also not bad. If Wen Xiu and Mother fought, she would not be able to win.

Therefore, Li Daniu did not believe Wen Xiu could kill his parents!

“Look at this portrait.”

Xiao Zeyu didn’t explain it to Li Daniu in detail. Instead, he took out a portrait and opened it before Wen Xiu. The woman in the portrait was the same as Wen Xiu in front of him. Her face was the same, but the expression between her eyebrows differed.

Wen Xiu looked weak, but that woman was seductive!

Wen Xiu’s expression changed when she saw the portrait. A look of fear flashed in her eyes. Xiao Zeyu could tell from her expression that she had already recognized the woman in the portrait.

-We have arrested her. Your plot has been exposed. Did Aunt Li and Uncle Li find out that you were in contact with the spy and killed them to silence them.” Xiao Zeyu asked coldly. His tall figure stood before Wen Xiu like a mountain, pressing down on her until she couldn’t breathe. She didn’t even dare to raise her head.

Li Daniu looked at Wen Xiu in shock. He didn’t want to believe that this was true. How could his wife kill his parents?

After all, he was Wen Xiu’s savior.

When Li Shuang’er heard Xiao Zeyu’s words, she rushed over to Li Daniu’s wife like a mad person. She grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

“Tell me, did you kill my parents?”

■’No, how would I dare? I don’t even dare to kill a chicken.”

Wen Xiu cried and shook her head. Her face was as pale as paper, and she looked like she would fall at any moment.

Li Daniu picked up the portrait on the ground. Wasn’t the woman in the portrait Wen Xiu?

He asked Xiao Zeyu in a trembling voice,

“Shuisheng, what’s with this portrait?”

“This is the spy we caught in Tartan. She planted a love gu on the Third Prince and used it to control him.”

Xiao Zeyu looked into Wen Xiu’s eyes and told Li Daniu that he could guess why that woman had ruined her appearance from the moment he saw the portrait. She was afraid that he would recognize her.

Wen Xiu’s expression changed when she heard Xiao Zeyu’s words. The situation was hopeless. Her gaze instantly turned from weak to fierce. She grabbed Li Shuang’er, who was shaking her shoulders and pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, pressing it against her neck.

“Don’t come over, or I’ll kill her!”
