For a moment, Xue Zhan was hit by an unprecedented blow! He was extremely depressed.
Liu Rumei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly called the two brothers back. "Yun Xi, stop being naughty!"
In the past, she thought only Yun Xi liked to be naughty. She never expected that the usually well - behaved Yun Li was just the same. These two twin brothers really lived up to their relationship.
Hearing this, Yun Xi couldn't help pouting and stomping back to Liu Rumei's side.
Looking at the identical faces of the two, Xue Zhan was extremely depressed.
Mo Litian couldn't help coughing dryly. He smiled gracefully and said leisurely, "Lord Xue, stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us."
Xue Zhan glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "Shut up! Who asked you to come here?"
Don't think he didn't know what Mo Litian was up to just because he was staying by Liu Rumei's side! They were just two of a kind.
The smile on Mo Litian's face froze slightly. He pursed his thin lips and said indifferently, "I am the Crown Prince of the Great Liang."
Where can't I go?
Xue Zhan snorted. So what if he was the Crown Prince?
Seeing Xue Zhan like this, Liu Rumei frowned secretly. Was Xue Zhan really just the Prefectural Magistrate of the Capital?
Seeing that Mo Litian looked a bit unhappy, Zhang Yan quickly said, "Lord Xue, stop hiding it. Miss Liu is still waiting!"
Hearing Liu Rumei's name, Xue Zhan's expression improved a bit, but he was still extremely depressed. He sat on the chair and said leisurely, "The victim, Li Yin, is not the biological daughter of Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is her step - mother. Not long ago, Li Yin's father suddenly died of a sudden illness. After that, Mrs. Li betrothed Li Yin to Qi Dahai and received a large amount of betrothal gifts. She went to the Qi family yesterday to extort more money from them, but was driven out. That's why she came to your place!"
Liu Rumei raised her eyebrows. "There's such a thing!"
Xue Zhan's mouth curled into a sneer again. "I've also found out that Mrs. Li is definitely involved in the death of Li Yin's father!"
Liu Rumei was stunned. She originally thought Mrs. Li was a poor mother, but she never expected this woman to be so vicious.
Qi Dahai also snorted. "This poisonous woman!"
If he had known this earlier, he should have stayed far away from this mother - daughter pair!
Mo Litian frowned. "Why did she kill Li Yin's father?"
"She just wanted to seize wealth. She had a lover who was in debt. She secretly sold family property to help her lover pay off the debt. When they were having an affair, Li Yin's father found out, and that's when she had evil intentions!"
If this case hadn't been uncovered because of Li Yin's incident, no one knew how long it would have been hidden!
Liu Rumei couldn't help sighing. "It's really a case of karma!"
After saying that, she said to Xue Zhan, "We also found a corpse outside the city. Please send someone to bring the corpse back and check the surrounding area."
Xue Zhan nodded repeatedly. "I'll send someone there right away."
At this point, the clues were broken again. "Lord Xue, do you know why Li Yin eloped?"
It could be said that marrying into the Qi family would ensure a life of plenty. Why did she run away? Could it be that she had a lover?
Just as Liu Rumei thought of this, Xue Zhan said leisurely, "What else could it be? She must have had a lover!"
It's a pity that such a beautiful young woman died so early! "I've already sent someone to arrest the person. I think they'll bring the person back soon."
Qi Dahai on the side was already extremely angry, but because there were others present, he didn't dare to flare up. He could only hold it back. He bowed to Xue Zhan and said, "Lord Xue, since it has been proven that this matter has nothing to do with my Qi family, can I go back?"
Xue Zhan waved his hand at him. "Go back."
This matter was also unfair to the Qi family! It was really inappropriate to detain him any longer!
After Qi Dahai left, Liu Rumei looked up at the sky and found that it was already getting late.
She couldn't help turning to look at the Yun Xi brothers beside her. "We've been busy for so long. Are you hungry?"
Yun Xi touched his empty stomach and couldn't help sighing. "I'm so hungry that my stomach is sticking to my back!"
There was also a bit of shyness on Yun Li's face. "Yes."
Seeing this, a look of apology flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes. She looked up at Xue Zhan. "Lord Xue, I'm going to take Yun Xi and the others out for a meal. Do you want to come along?"
Xue Zhan nodded without hesitation. "How could I refuse Miss Liu's invitation?"
Xiao Heyuan and Zhang Yan also said with a smile, "Since Miss Liu is treating, of course we'll go to get a drink!"
Needless to say, Mo Litian was also going to go!
Liu Rumei thought for a while and then led everyone towards the Wanbaozhai.
Unexpectedly, just as they reached the door, several yamen runners carried a corpse back.
Xue Zhan's face changed instantly. He subconsciously turned his back. "Carry it to the backyard."
The yamen runners naturally knew his quirk and didn't say much. They quickly carried the corpse to the backyard.
Yun Xi was originally a bit nervous, but when he turned around and saw Xue Zhan like this, his nervousness disappeared instantly. His eyes were full of contempt for Xue Zhan. He was even worse than his own brother!
It seemed that the meal would have to be postponed again!
The group had to return to the house!
Liu Rumei looked at the Yun Xi brothers beside her with full apology in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she looked up at Xue Zhan and said, "Could you please help us bring some food back?"
Xue Zhan couldn't have been more willing. "Sure."
Then he said to Mo Litian, "How about you come with me, Your Highness?"
Anyway, he couldn't help much staying here!
Mo Litian instantly understood his intention. A smile appeared on his face. "Please help me bring a portion too, Lord Xue!"
Hearing this, Xue Zhan immediately gritted his teeth. "Buy it yourself!"
After saying that, he ignored Mo Litian and immediately dragged him away.
Seeing this, Liu Rumei couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly. Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhang Yan and the others were used to this. Seeing Liu Rumei's curious look, Zhang Yan said with a smile, "My lord is the son of the Crown Prince's teacher. He has known the Crown Prince and the Prince of Guo'an since childhood."
Their friendship was extraordinary!
Liu Rumei nodded. "Childhood sweethearts!"
Zhang Yan's expression paused slightly. He always felt that this term was a bit inappropriate here, but he couldn't say why.
Xiao Heyuan found a stack of pastries somewhere and handed them to the Yun Xi brothers. "You can make do with these for now."
Yun Li's eyes were full of gratitude. He held the plate and bowed to Xiao Heyuan to thank him. "Thank you."
Then he took one and gave it to Liu Rumei. "Sister, have some too."
Liu Rumei didn't stand on ceremony. She immediately took it and said to the two with a smile, "Finish eating here before going in."
