1448 The Suspect Was Silenced
Now that she thought about it, she suddenly felt that it was the maidâs expression. She seemed to be a little flustered.
âMen!â
When the City Lordâs wife suddenly shouted, two guards quickly entered the hall.
âBring Yu Hong here,â the City Lordâs wife instructed with a dark expression.
âYes, Madam,â the two guards replied respectfully and quickly retreated.
In less than half an hour, the two guards returned. However, they brought a corpse.
âMadam, when we knocked on Yu Hongâs door, no one answered. We broke in and realized that Yu Hong had already died from the poison,â one of the guards reported.
The City Lordâs wifeâs expression was extremely ugly. âInvestigate. Find out clearly if she committed suicide or if someone deliberately killed her!â The City Lordâs wife was furious and gave the two guards an order.
âYes, Madam!â
The two guards received the order and left.
Lu Zijia went forward to check Yu Hongâs corpse and realized that there was a finger mark on Hong Yuâs back, and there was a faint bruise at the corner of her mouth.
âShe should have been silenced,â Lu Zijia judged.
The City Lordâs wife was so angry that she suddenly slapped the armrest. âHow dare they! How dare they reach into the backyard of the City Lord Manor? They really donât respect our City Lord Manor!â
The suspect was already dead, and the clues were gone. Lu Zijia and Liang Yingjun stayed for a while longer before leaving the mayorâs residence.
âSenior Lu, who do you think is the most suspicious?â After leaving the City Lord Residence, Liang Yingjun couldnât help but ask Lu Zijia.
âThe Lu family.â Lu Zijia gave an answer without hesitation.
âThe Lu family? Why?â
Liang Yingjun looked puzzled. âAlthough Cheng Suâer hasnât officially married into the Lu family, sheâs still a member of the Lu family. Her reputation has been ruined, and the Lu family wonât be in a good state either.â
After Cheng Suâer was kidnapped, the matter of her copulating with two men in the forest had already spread throughout Zhuang Prefectural City.
As the groom, Lu Hejun became the focus of discussion.
What happened today could be said to have become a complete disaster for the Lu family.
Lu Zijia shrugged with a smile and gave a very nonchalant, casual, indifferent answer. âIntuition.â
Liang Yingjun: ââŠâ Intuition⊠Senior Luâs answer was really unexpected.
However, what Liang Yingjun didnât know was that Lu Zijiaâs intuition was based on her understanding of the Lu family.
In order to get rid of the threat they thought was there, the members of the Lu family would do anything, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.
âŠ
In the Lu family mansion.
The originally joyous atmosphere of the Lu family was dead silent at this moment.
The servants passing by the main hall all deliberately stepped lightly, afraid of disturbing the people in the main hall.
The atmosphere in the main hall was even more oppressive. Everyoneâs expression was very ugly.
Apart from the patriarch of the Lu family and a few elders, there was also Lu Hejun, City Lord Cheng and Cheng Suâer, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state and was still unconscious.
âCity Lord Cheng, the Lu family has let you down. Donât worry, the marriage between Hejun and Suâer will continue.â Lu Gang was the first to speak.
âFather!â
Lu Hejun, who was sitting at the end, suddenly stood up and looked at his father in disbelief.
Cheng Suâer was already a withered flower. If he married such a withered flower, wouldnât he become the laughing stock of the entire Zhuang Prefectural city?!
Thinking that he would be pointed at when he went out in the future, Lu Hejunâs face was twisted into a ferocious expression.
