When Hua received Ye Zixun's invitation, Ouyang Ji had already left with Pang Ying...

Xue Ling glanced at the invitation card in his hand, and said strangely, "Why did Ye Zixun invite you over suddenly? Could it be that he wanted to ask you about the third brother?"

Although Ouyang Ji and Pang Ying are not ostentatious, it is not difficult to know his whereabouts, so it is absolutely impossible for Ye Zi to seek her in the past just for Ouyang Ji.

After breaking up with Ouyang Ji, Hua Ting Wuxin thought too much, "Let's go and talk."

Xue Ling was not afraid of Ye Zi playing tricks, so she handed Xue Zinian in her arms to the nurse to take care of, and followed Hua Ting to Ye's old house.

As soon as Hua Ting entered the door of the Ye family's old house, she realized that something was wrong. Not only the two Ye family brothers were there, but Liu Qinglan was also there.

"Little lady, please sit down..."

Ye Zixun's body has not recovered from the disease, and she is still a little short of breath when speaking.

Hua Ting sat side by side with Xue Ling, Liu Qinglan spoke.

"I heard that the Chu family in the Jing Manor looked for the young lady?"

"Yes..." There was nothing to hide, Hua Ting admitted frankly.

"Why did the Chu family look for you?" Ye Zixun then asked Hua Ting.

After Hua Ting told about the Chu family's plan to buy the college, Liu Qinglan looked gloomy and stared at the ground in a daze.

"You didn't promise them?"

"No, the academy was established with great difficulty by our siblings, how could it be transferred to others."

"And then?" Ye Zizhen asked suddenly, his eyes were tightly closed, and it sounded like he was interrogating a prisoner.

Hua Ting was startled suddenly, why did Ye Zizhen ask such a question?
"Then they left..." Hua Ting asked Ye Zizhen, "Why did Ye Erye ask these questions?"

Ye Zizhen said coldly, "The person sent by the Chu family to look for you is Chu Rongzheng, the second concubine son of the Chu family. After he separated from you, Chu Rongzheng disappeared. How do you explain it?"

"..." Hua Ting couldn't explain it. After she separated from Chu Rongzheng, she went to dig the grave together with Hua Fugui, and found evidence of one dead body and two lives. She couldn't even kill her.

Hua Ting's unusual silence aroused everyone's suspicion.

"Human life is at stake. Once it is found out that the little lady deliberately concealed it, she will inevitably be imprisoned."

"I really don't know where Chu Rong is going..."

Ye Zizhen smirked when he heard the words, "You don't know where Chu Rongzheng went, you can tell me where you went after that."

Hua Ting's forehead was sweating, but she knew that lying was definitely not acceptable, not to mention Liu Qinglan, who was quite good at solving cases, even Ye Zizhen, who was used to fooling around, couldn't hide it from her.

"I..." Hua Ting suddenly had an idea, "I went to pay homage to Hui Yao."

After restoring Wu's tomb to its original state, Hua Fugui took Hua Ting to Huiyao's tomb to pay homage, so she was telling the truth.

Ye Zizhen turned to look at Ye Zixun who was sitting at the top. Ye Zixun looked at Hua Ting sharply, trying to find a flaw in Hua Ting's face, but he didn't. Feeling anxious, that kind of anxiety is a reaction to being questioned, so Hua Ting didn't lie.

"Who is Huiyao?" Ye Zixun asked in a familiar way.

Before Hua could hear her answer, Liu Qinglan said first, "It's the little lady's personal maid. Back then, the little lady was misunderstood by the flower staff and Hui Yao committed suicide. She can be regarded as a loyal servant."

At the beginning, Liu Qinglan was in charge of the case of Hua Yaoting's murder of Hua Ting and Xue Ziwen. Now Liu Qinglan answers this question for Hua Ting, which is more convincing than Hua Ting's own answer.

"It's just a lowly maidservant, but she can also work for Miss Hua to go to worship. Oh, it's an eye-opener for this official."

Ye Zi's true words were sarcasm, but Hua didn't like it.

"The maidservant is also a human being, Hui Yao thanked the Lord by herself, why can't I worship such a loyal person."

In ancient times, domestic slaves were always the lowest existence, so Hua Ting's thoughts were deviant, and Ye Zizhen slapped the handrail.

"It's a joke for a humble person to talk about a loyal person."

Ye Zixun got dizzy from the quarrel, called Ye Zizhen to stop, and asked Hua Ting, "Is there any witness?"

Bad, Hua Fugui is not Hua Fugui, if she said that Hua Fugui accompanied her to Mopan Mountain to worship Huiyao, the two Ye family brothers would doubt Hua Fugui's identity.
"Yes, it's my servant..."

Ye Zizhen waved his hand, "Not all your servants listen to you, it doesn't count."

Sure enough, as she expected, these high-ranking masters didn't care about the servant's name at all, Hua Ting's voice became sad.

"If you don't count the servants, then there are only ashes from the burnt paper in front of the grave."

People can lie, but the traces of burning will not lie. Ye Zixun immediately ordered someone to go to Mopan Mountain to check, but in fact, Ye Zixun believed more than half of it in his heart. After all, Jiuqu County is still some distance away from Mopan Mountain. There is no time to find someone to lie to lie.

Then Ye Zixun asked Hua Ting about the academy, and asked Hua Ting to go back.

After getting into the carriage, Xue Ling, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked Hua Ting, "Are you really going to pay homage to Hui Yao?"

She is the one who is in a dilemma, Hua Ting's temples are throbbing with pain, she nods with a bitter face.

"Is there anything you can't say about worshiping Hui Yao, why did you keep it from me and my third brother?"

She finally understood why it takes countless lies to cover up a lie, Hua Tingyang leaned against the carriage wall and was silent for a moment before she spoke.

"Because I don't want to talk about sad things."

Hua Ting's tone was extremely negative, as if a slight touch would cause a heart-piercing pain.

Xue Ling knew that it was the mention of the past that affected Hua Ting's sadness, so she hugged Hua Ting with self-blame and couldn't help apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot that Huiyao committed suicide because you were wronged to prove your innocence. It was my lack of consideration that made you sad. It's all the eldest sister's fault."

Hua Ting let out a long sigh and said, "Elder Sister can understand Hua Ting, Hua Ting is content."

Xue Ling rubbed Hua Ting's back with distressed hands and comforted him, "Don't worry, they have no chance to wrong you with the eldest sister around, so let's go to Chu Rongzheng right now, and when we find him, he will return your innocence, and the eldest sister will beat him Let me vent my anger on you."

Hua Ting was amused by Xue Ling, "It's fine if you find it and pay back your innocence, why beat him?"

"Who made him run around and you were interrogated like a prisoner."

Because Ye Zixun ordered Hua Ting not to leave Jiuqu County, Liu Qinglan naturally had to obey, so Hua Ting and Xue Ling could only search for Chu Rongzheng's whereabouts in Jiuqu County, and searched for the whole day except for the inn where Chu Rongzheng had stayed. After the said person had checked out and left, no one saw Chu Rongzheng again.

Hua Ting and Xue Ling were hungry looking for someone, so they bought two bowls of jelly from a street stall, and they got up after eating, just in time to see Pang Ying walking from the other side of the street, holding Ouyang Ji's arm.

"Why are you here? Are you looking for Zicun?" Pang Ying tilted her head triumphantly and asked Hua Ting, leaning close to Ouyang Ji's arms.

Ouyang Ji put his arms around Pang Ying, his eyes as deep as cold pools met Shang Huating's gaze.

Hua Ting said indifferently, "It's just a coincidence...Let me go."
