lowed him out."Boss, look over there, that's General Dan's ship."The bodyguard pointed to a white dot on the sea horizon and said.Contact himZeng Hongliang hadn't finished his words when he felt a chi...Liàn Yī waited for a long time but Wen Zhāo Míng didn't come. She casually asked Héhuā about it, only to have Cuì Huā, who was always quick-witted, jump in and say something that revealed a murder had happened in Wenjia Village.

"So, the constable suspects Ming-ge I think Zhou San's family is the most suspicious. After all, they have all disappeared."

“People in their village were also speculating like this, but there was no conclusion yet. It was said that even the corpse was still kept at the funeral parlor and hadn't been buried. Elder Wen was so worried that his hair had turned white.”

The lotus added a rare supplementary sentence.

Then Ripple said:

Therefore, having a large family with many branches living under one roof is not a good thing. With twenty or so people living together, there are bound to be conflicts. If the husband shows favoritism too obviously, it will create tension. Over time, this will inevitably lead to an explosion.

"Miss is right, luckily besides that aunt of yours, no one else can control you. If you could keep climbing the ranks, definitely no one would dare to be disrespectful in front of Miss."

An He earnestly said.

"Cuiflower, when will there be a conclusion to the case"

"Miss, I'm not sure about that."

"Then go and find out. I want to know if my guess is right."

Ripples commanded.

Yes, Miss!

Cuiflower also wanted to know the result, so she rode her horse to inquire about the news. Luckily, they weren't far from Wenjia Village, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get the first-hand scoop.

The next day at noon, a squad of officers passed by Sujiazhuang. They stopped to get some water. The head of the village was very hospitable. He not only prepared food and water for the officers, but also had the villagers help water their horses and feed them fresh grass before seeing them off.

That afternoon, Cuiflower rode back on horseback and brought the latest news about the poisoning case in Wenjia Village.

What's the situation

Ripples lay on her soft couch, munching on melon seeds and saying,

First, Cuiflower drank a bowl of cool tea before she opened her mouth to speak:

"Miss, you wouldn't believe it, Wen San-di is famous now. He was the one who drugged the other two branches of the Zhou family this time. It's just that we don't know where he ran off to now."

"Really him"

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

This story begins with the opening of the ancestral hall in Wengjia Village.

Cuifang first told what happened in the ancestral hall, and then continued:

According to the hunter's investigation, Zhou family's remaining two houses and the elderly couple were all poisoned to death. The poison was arsenic, which was put in the dinner.

The constable found out that the arsenic was bought from a shop in the county, and the person who bought the medicine was Wen San's younger brother.

After the Zhou family was poisoned to death, neighbors only saw three members of the Zhou family leave. The two explained they were driven out by their elders to work on the farmland, but in reality, they took their household registration to the county to separate households.

This matter was originally supposed to go through the village head, but they went straight to the county office and sold all twenty-four mu of their land, saying it was to pay for their children's education.

Because they had greased the palms privately, and the land was directly sold to the intermediary, things went very smoothly. Afterwards, their family of five left the county town, and no one knows where they went.

Ripple scoffed after hearing that, "That's truly vicious."

I also heard another account from someone who fled here with the Zhou family. They said that Zhou Sanniang was not Zhou Yuniang's biological daughter, so she had been exploiting her younger sister throughout her childhood to support herself and her two older sisters.

If you put it that way, the cause and effect make sense. After all, the youngest child is usually the most spoiled in a typical family, but their family seems to be the opposite. They realized that dividing the family was impossible, and only then did they take this step, which also makes sense.

Therefore, it's important to leave room for maneuver in everything you do, so that you at least have an escape route.

However, I feel that taking things to the point of separating the family is indeed a bit extreme. There must be something we don't know about this.

Liàn yī threw away the melon seed shell, took a sip of tea, and then said.

Although Wen Sandi bought arsenic, I think Zhou Siniang was the one who poisoned him.

Ripples said softly.

"The constable also surmised as much, after all, a young boy wouldn't be so bold."

After a moment of thought, Lian Yi went straight to the point and asked Shi Ju:

"Wasn't this made by Zhou Sanniang"

"Yes, and she did it for revenge."

"Come on, tell me."

Ripples didn't expect there to be an even bigger melon.

“It wasn't a complicated thing. On the road fleeing, Zhou's family and Zhou Sanniang's biological mother met. Driven by greed for the money on her biological mother’s body, the whole family smothered her to death and then claimed she died of starvation. When those refugees were about to seize Zhou Sanniang, they feigned concern and rescued her back, raising her in their own home.”

Whether she sought peace of mind or to showcase her righteousness, five-year-old Zhou Sanniang, a precocious child, witnessed the murder of her biological mother. To survive, she pretended to know nothing, thus escaping unharmed.

Unfortunately, she was too young at the time to seek revenge. She could only lie low and even accepted the murderer of her mother as her own, growing up amidst hardships. She eventually married and had children.

This time, Wen Sandi's incident was the trigger, but he was clearly prepared beforehand. This time, he was able to eliminate all members of the Zhou family at once. The Zhou family's land was sold, and all the silver they had hidden was taken away by her, totaling three hundred taels.

The explanation of the mortar and pestle is very clear.

"This Third Brother Wen is also a fool, he won't die before long, and he'll be sold anyway."

The ripples said something cold.

"You really guessed it. In Wuyi County, Zhou Siniang poisoned Wen Sandidi into silence and then sold him."

Even the millstone thought this woman was ruthless.

After Lianyi had a satisfying watermelon, she let Cuiflower rest for two days. She continued copying scriptures.

On the day the first snow fell, Wen Zhaoming carried a basket full of things and came to Sujiazhuang with his younger sister.

The ripples also gave off a touch of elegance, brewing wine and admiring the snow in the courtyard. They allowed the two people to come in and speak directly.

This time when they met, Yueyue's complexion had noticeably improved, and Mingge's brow was relaxed. When the siblings saw Lianyi, they both respectfully bowed.

"Everyone here knows each other, no need to be so polite. Please have a seat and talk."

Ripples waved goodbye.

"Thank you, Miss, for your repeated help. My sister and I are truly grateful beyond words. We have made a greatcoat from the accumulated gray rabbit fur as a token of our appreciation. Please don't mind it if it's not good enough; it comes from the heart."

Wen Zhaoming felt a little embarrassed, but he still explained his purpose.

"Well, I happen to be in need of a cloak. Let me have a look."

Ripples smiled and said.

Wen Zhao Yue discovered that Lian Yi did not seem disgusted, and immediately opened the frame, pulling out a package from inside with great effort, and handing it to her older brother.

Although Wen Zhaoming was a little shy, he still opened his package and spread out a gray rabbit fur cloak, handing it to An He beside him.

An He glanced at it and didn't say much. Such things were naturally not lacking for their young mistress. However, it was still a gift from someone else. Although it was gray rabbit fur, it was very well tanned and the color was bright, showing that the siblings had put thought into it.
