Distressed wife

Chapter 526 The murderer behind the scenes (5)
"It's just that I think that place is too dark and gloomy." Hou Yiyi looked at Mu Ziyan, "Fortunately, Second Sister Lu is safe and sound."

"It's okay." Mu Ziyan watched in silence for a moment, "Both younger sisters, go back, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"Okay." The two replied, and then they left the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and went back separately.

Zhang Zong entered the back hall, looked at Mu Ziyan, "Will you be too bold to do this, if it will cause the emperor's displeasure."

"If not, how can we lead out the murderer behind it?" Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "This person is doing this to Leihou Mansion at this moment, presumably not only because of that map."

"Then why?" Zhang Zong felt that he seemed to be in the dark about many things.

Mu Ziyan shook her head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, but the matter is definitely not that simple."

"Now that other aristocratic families are starting to feel in danger, they must take precautions." Zhang Zong looked at her, "It seems that it is impossible for the murderer to do something."

"That's not necessarily true." Mu Ziyan continued, "It depends on what his purpose is."

"Are you leaving now?" Zhang Zong looked at her and asked.

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, "Let's go now."

"Be careful." Zhang Zong looked at Mu Ziyan, and said in a low voice, "You just came back, and you probably haven't even visited the young master, why don't you go first?"

"Let's settle this matter first." Mu Ziyan looked up at Zhang Zong, "That's right, Brother Zhang, the good things between you and Sister Lu should come soon, I can wait to eat your wedding wine."

"At this time?" Zhang Zong looked embarrassed, "You know it, I..."

Seeing that Zhang Zong blushed, Mu Ziyan knew that she had successfully changed the subject, and then she stepped out of the hall, and happened to meet Mrs. Lu who came back, she winked at Mrs. Lu, and then went back to her room.

Lady Lu carried her inside, looked at Zhang Zong with embarrassment, coughed a few times, and then walked out.

Mu Ziyan immediately left the capital secretly.

In Zhonghou's mansion, Zhong Xuan has been staying in Mingyue Academy these days, so she hasn't received any news from outside for several days. As soon as she returned to Zhonghou's mansion, she saw Lord Zhonghou with a cold face. She stepped forward He asked suspiciously, "Father, has something serious happened?"

"Leihou's mansion was destroyed overnight, and it is said that it was because the empress gave Lord Lei a map." Lord Zhong looked at Zhong Xuan, "You have been in Mingyue Academy these days, don't you have any news? know?"

"Princess Yuehua has been present these past few days, and my daughter can't get away at all." Zhong Xuan said in a low voice, "The Leihou Mansion was destroyed. , who revealed the wind?"

"I'm afraid the whole capital knows about it now." Lord Zhonghou paced back and forth, and continued, "I don't know who did it. I'm worried that this matter will involve Zhonghou's mansion."

"Father, don't worry, this matter was not done by the Zhonghou's mansion. Moreover, the matter was done in a very secretive way. Since some clues can be found out, the Zhong family will not be suspected." " Zhong Xuan was shocked at first when he heard the news of the destruction of the Leihou Mansion, but he calmed down in an instant.

Seeing what she said, Lord Zhong snorted coldly, "You can hold your breath."

"Father, who is responsible for this matter? My daughter must find out. After all, Leihou's Mansion should not be underestimated. It was destroyed so easily. There is no guarantee that the murderer will make a murderous attempt on Zhonghou's Mansion in the future." Zhong Xuan lowered his voice. Said loudly.

"That's right, you are about to reach the end of the year, and you will marry into the Third Prince's Mansion after the Spring Festival. These two matters cannot be delayed." Lord Zhong Hou has his own plans, so at this moment, he can only absolutely not allow Zhong Xuan to appear here. any accidents.

Zhong Xuan replied in a low voice, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will investigate now."

"You go." Lord Zhong Hou said in a deep voice.

As soon as Zhong Xuan came out of the study, she saw Zhong Fei standing in the courtyard. When she saw her coming out, she nodded slightly and walked in.

"Second brother." Zhong Xuan stepped forward and called out.

"Second Sister." Zhong Fei replied flatly.

Zhong Xuan saw that his temper was cold and timid, but she nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Second brother, go on your own, father is in a bad mood."

"Thank you, Second Sister, for your reminder." Zhong Fei bowed his head in response, and then walked forward.

After passing by Zhong Xuan, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he stepped into the study.

Lord Zhong Hou was overcast at the moment, and when he looked up and saw Zhong Fei, his face softened a little, "Fei'er, why are you here?"

"Father, my son just wrote an article, and I want to ask my father to give me some advice." Zhong Fei handed over the article while speaking.

Lord Zhonghou was in a troubled mood at the moment, but he was very happy when he heard Zhong Fei's words. After all, although Zhong Xian was good, he was not the child of the woman he loved, and he had been with the prince since he was a child. He was rarely so close, and never asked him about intellectual matters.

Moreover, Zhong Xian is too smart, even surpassing him, so he really can't get close to Zhong Xian in his heart, but Zhong Fei is different, because he just entered the mansion, so he doesn't understand many things, naturally To come to him for advice is to truly regard himself as a father, which is what he is looking forward to, and Zhong Fei is naturally different in his heart.

If Zhong Xuan saw that Lord Zhonghou still had such a loving fatherly side, he would definitely feel unworthy of Zhong Hui, and thinking of Zhong Hui's life, he would think it was a joke.

Zhong Xuan returned to her own yard with a slightly cold expression. When her subordinates came, she immediately knelt down, and Zhong Xuan raised her foot and kicked over, "How dare you not report such news?"

"Returning to the master, it's not that this subordinate doesn't report it, but they went to Mingyue Academy several times and were discovered. The subordinate was afraid of revealing his identity, so he didn't force his way in again." The subordinate replied in a low voice.

"Hmph." Zhong Xuan snorted coldly, "How is it now?"

"Jing Zhaoyin has found some clues, master, then Lu Erniang is a smart person, and the method of solving the case reminds the subordinates of someone." The subordinate replied in a low voice.

"Who is it?" Zhong Xuan's eyes narrowed, her icy face brimming with murderous intent.

"Miss Mu." The subordinate quickly replied.

"Her?" Zhong Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Isn't she in the Imperial Tomb?"
