After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 302: The Long and Silent Night
"Have the three sisters come back today?"

Without waiting for Jin Lai Di and the other two to answer, the village head nodded repeatedly, "Sir, the three sisters take turns going home to cook lunch and dinner every day, so they must come back to the Jin family every day."

Yu Linlang stared at the three weird sisters and asked, "You go back to your parents' home every day, don't your husband's family have any objections?"

Jin Lai Di smiled bitterly, "This... this was agreed upon before we got married. My family is small, with only one younger brother. My parents still have to work in the fields. If we don't come back to cook for my younger brother, what will he eat?"

Yu Linlang looked at this strange family, silently glanced at Wang who was crying, "You still want to join a family like this? What do you do every day?"

Wang lowered her head and said nothing.

Jin Lai Di added, "My sister-in-law would go to a nearby noodle stall to help out in the morning. In the afternoon, she would sometimes help Third Auntie with laundry, and sometimes she would go to Auntie Liu's house in the east to help with embroidering patterns."

Yu Linlang understood immediately, "Your parents work in the fields. You... go out to help out to supplement the family income. The three of you take turns coming back every day to serve this ancestor meals? And your brother stays at home and sleeps all day? Hey, I want to ask, can he get out of bed?"

The division of labor is quite clear!

Jin Lai Di probably felt that this adult's words were sarcastic, and her face couldn't help but get hot, "Get out of bed."

She brushed a strand of short hair to the back of her head and pursed her lips. "My brother is a very honest person. He doesn't eat, drink, play or gamble like those bad kids out there. He is just..."

"I'm just lazy. I don't want to work. I'm just a lazy bum!" Yu Linlang saw that she was hesitating, so she summed it up for her.

Jin Lai Di's face turned red and she wanted to argue, but she couldn't say a word in rebuttal for a long time.

"You are the six of you who serve him every day?" Yu Linlang was speechless. "Then who does he usually interact with closely? Besides your family. Has he had any conflicts or fights with anyone recently?"

Jin Zhaodi waved her hands and answered, "My brother doesn't know how to fight. He never fights with anyone. And he doesn't like to go out. He...his biggest hobby is drinking. After drinking, he takes a long nap."

"Yes, sir. He never goes out. How could he possibly get into a conflict or fight with others?"

Yu Linlang looked at the old man, "Old Man Jin, do you have anything to add?"

The old man continued to smoke in silence, with his head down and not saying a word.

"Okay, let's stop here first, pack up and go back. Tomorrow morning, we'll have someone come over to question the neighbors and continue to understand the situation."

"Hey, sir, are you leaving just like that?" Old Lady Jin jumped up and shouted, "My son died in such an unclear way? Who killed him? Who is it? You have to give us an explanation!"

"You are a human, not a god! Now that I can't get any clues out of you, what are you going to say? Don't you have to continue to investigate further to find out what's going on?"

Yu Linlang walked out directly, got on the car, and pressed her swollen head, "Go back to Changyue Lane."

"You've been exhausted today. It doesn't matter if you get up late tomorrow. Just be there before the trial of Li Cuihua starts at noon. I'll have Xiaogu arrange everything else in advance."

Yu Linlang nodded and said, "Send out all the idle people in the government office to investigate. Mainly, find out who entered and left the Jin family around dusk."

"The terrain here is complicated, and the alleys are narrow and winding. You have to be more careful. The big masters in the government office are often cunning and cunning, so I guess they are not very reliable. Let's send some people from the Demon Suppression Department to help."

"Don't worry, my Lord Jade Fox." Chitu gently pressed her head and whispered, "You don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

The carriage stopped suddenly with a clatter, as if it was stuck by something.

The two of them moved forward by inertia and tried to steady themselves.

"Sir, the carriage wheel hit something." Heizi jumped off the carriage, held up the lamp and went forward to check, sweating profusely in anxiety.

The two lanes were narrow, and the carriage wheel was stuck on a pile of debris. It would probably take a while to repair it.

Yu Linlang didn't care much, she got out of the car and waved, "It's okay, you guys fix the car and go back, I can walk by myself."

"Hu Hu, it's too far to walk back! It's not safe." Chi Tu reached out and held her. Yu Linlang laughed and walked forward with an umbrella, "Don't worry, only your Hu Hu can beat people! Who dares to mess with me?"

Chi Tu curled his lips, stared at her back as she walked away, and shook his head helplessly.

Yu Linlang walked out along the dark alley, her footsteps almost inaudible.

The street became wider after leaving the alley, and Yu Linlang strolled along the street freely.

The raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a slight sound.

Yu Linlang suddenly stopped and looked up, only to see a carriage galloping from the opposite direction. The driver pulled the reins from a distance and urged the horse to slow down.

Before the car got close, a man leaned over, opened the curtain and jumped out of the car, "Jade Fox."

Chang Qing hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse with a "whoa" and handed over the big umbrella at hand, "Sir, the rain is too heavy, please hold an umbrella..."

Mu Zhao turned a deaf ear and quickly ran to Yu Linlang's side.

Yu Linlang quickly moved the umbrella towards him to cover him, and they both asked in unison, "What's wrong with you?", then looked at each other and laughed.

"I saw that you hadn't come back for so long, so I was thinking that maybe there was a lot going on in the west of the city, and I wondered if I could come over and help you."

"I was just on my way back, but the car got stuck in the garbage in the alley halfway through." Yu Linlang sighed, "I asked Chi Tu and the others to stay in the repair shop. It's uncomfortable to be stuck in the car, so I might as well go out for a walk by myself."

Mu Zhao held her hand and slowly walked towards the carriage.

Chang Qing, wearing a straw raincoat, looked at the two of them expressionlessly and then silently looked away.

The prince and Miss Yu looked like an old married couple.

In the long and quiet night, strolling under the umbrella, the atmosphere was just right, and his presence seemed particularly redundant!

As expected, both of them ignored him...

The prince helped Miss Yu onto the carriage, and Miss Yu smiled at him...

In the eyes of the two of them, there is no sign of him at all!
Changqing silently put away the extra paper umbrella, whipped the carriage to turn it around, and then headed towards Changyue Lane on Yuanhe Street.

The next day.

Yu Linlang had lunch early and rushed to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.

A large crowd had gathered in front of the yamen.

Yu Linlang had someone open the back door of the government office and quietly went in to prepare for the interrogation of Li Cuihua.

"Are there usually so many people watching the trial?"

Xiao Gu curled his lips, "Ah, the Jingzhao government has been dragging on the Li Cuihua case for more than a month. The neighbors heard that the court hearing was officially held today, so they all came to join in the fun!"

It's raining heavily outside!
This group of spectators really can't sit still at all.

"Sir, the evidence is complete, and all the people involved in the case are here. Let's go to the front yamen now."

Yu Linlang nodded, "Well, go ahead."

She looked through the files of several cases on hand and said, "Let's solve all of these today."
