Changing places, empathy.

If she was a mother, Lin Youyi firmly believed that she would sacrifice like this for her children.

But as a child, Lin Youyi said that it is impossible for Lin Youyi to be like Mr. Zhang, who actually paid for her mother's life for self-protection!

"Does the lord know about this?"

"The servant knew that you were impatient to wait, so she rushed back first, and will report to the prince later."

"Go, if the prince asks, just say... that's all, this matter ends here, let it go!"

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Wu Fu rushed to Prince Rui's mansion vigorously and reported the matter to Mu Zheng.

"They... have to live well!"

Wufu didn't understand, who did Mu Zheng refer to by "they"?
"Wufu, do you really think that this incident was conspired by the old lady of the Zhang family and Master Zhang?"

Originally, Wufu really thought so.

But judging from the tone of Mu Zheng's rhetorical question, it was obvious that he had other guesses.

"The servant is stupid, what do you mean, my lord?"

"Your guess is reasonable and logical! But, don't you think it's too smooth?"

"Shun... Isn't it right? The government office also requires hard evidence to settle a case?"

"Yes, that's the ironclad proof! Wufu, do you really have ironclad evidence?"

"This……"

Wu Fu was questioned by Mu Zheng, and he was stunned on the spot.

As for the ironclad evidence, she really didn't have it!
All these conclusions were obtained by piecing together every little thing she investigated.

However, if it is necessary to be serious, then these trivial matters can only prove that there is a great possibility that the old lady of the Zhang family and Mr. Zhang conspired to commit the crime!
But there was no way to beat him to death, it was the two of them who did it.

"Actually, the truth you believe is all reversed! Because we knew the modus operandi and guessed the purpose of the murder, and with the help of that little girl, we found out the so-called murderer. Could it be? Is there no other possibility?"

"What the prince said is true, so you already have other suspects?"

"Xiao Yu'an!"

"Major General? He...he has no reason to murder the old lady of the Zhang family! What good will Master Zhang have to breathe for the Major General?"

"No! The point is not who is saved, but who is killed?!"

"Murdered? The old lady of the Zhang family? My lord, what do you mean... the major general wanted to murder the old lady of the Zhang family? But what is his purpose? It's just an old woman, so what can life and death hinder the major general?"

"You're right, the life and death of the old lady of the Zhang family really has nothing to do with Xiao Yu'an. But, it does have something to do with that girl!"

Wufu suddenly realized.

If Mrs. Zhang's old lady died of illness unfortunately, then although she and Lin Youyi were separated by a generation, Lin Youyi also kept filial piety for her elders for a year.

Within this year, Lin Youyi must wear white filial piety and plain clothes, and she is not allowed to eat meat or drink alcohol, let alone talk about marriage.

In this way, even without Zhang Liang, Xiao Yu'an could delay Lin Youyi's marriage.

Wu Fu felt that Mu Zheng's guess was not impossible.

But if it is because of this, it is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that Xiao Yu'an did it.

"My lord, as you said, why didn't the young general poison the old lady of the Zhang family directly? In this way, he doesn't have to wait another year with fear. After all, there are many nights and dreams, and many things may happen in this year! Could it be that he is not afraid that within this year, the emperor will marry you and your lady, the lord?"

"More haste less speed!"

"The servant does not understand."

"The Marquis of Chengyang established his family with martial arts, and the glory that the ancestors exchanged with their blood and lives, how could it be easily tarnished? Although they are not from a noble family, they are also afraid of becoming crony ministers and clinging to the reputation of the powerful."

"The eldest daughter is going to marry the prince because of the matchmaker, but she is going to be the prince's concubine, and the second daughter is about to marry the third prince. If the girl is married to the king within a year, what do you think will happen to others? Talk about the Chengyanghou Mansion?"

Therefore, Xiao Yu'an was right, Mu Zheng would definitely have some scruples because of Lin Youyi.

At least, within a short period of time, the emperor will never grant a marriage.

When Mu Zheng felt that he could ask the emperor for a marriage, Lin Youyi had to start guarding again.
In this way, within two years, Lin Youyi will still be the fruit hanging on the branch, seemingly fresh and delicious, within easy reach, but out of reach.

Mu Zheng's idea is not impossible.

But compared to Wufu's guess, his idea is too far-fetched and too directional.

Wu Fu couldn't help hesitating.

Mu Zheng saw Wu Fu's hesitation, and asked in a cold voice.

"But what's the problem?"

"No maidservant, if the lord doesn't have other orders, the maidservant will leave first."

"An unfounded guess, there is no need to let her know!"

"Yes, the servant understands."

Another day later, Master Zhang was sent back to the Zhang Mansion, and Lin Youyi also packed up her things and prepared to leave.

As soon as she walked out of Zhang's mansion, Lin Youyi saw Xiao Yu'an came to pick her up in white clothes.

"I just said, you look better in plain clothes! It's a pity...it's unlucky!"

"You girl, you say it's unlucky for me to wear black, and you say it's unlucky for me to wear light colors! You're forcing me to wear a glazed cup, right?"

"Hahahaha, I thought you would say that you were dressed as an actor and appeared on stage!"

Xiao Yu'an stretched out his hand with a smile, and tapped Lin Youyi's eyebrows lightly.

"Spoof, you're going to run me the hardest! Get in the car and take you home."

Sitting in the car, Xiao Yuan felt a lot better when he saw Lin Youyi.

The heart that was still blocked just now also eased up a little.

When passing by West Street, Lin Youyi suddenly asked about a scent.

"Is it trough cake? Stop!"

Just as Lin Youyi was about to get up to buy, she was held down by Lin Youyi.

"Sit down obediently, and I'll go buy it for you."

Xiao Yu'an also thought that it would be so delicate and delicious to make Lin Youyi eat so happily.

After buying it, Xiao Yu'an was immediately full of doubts.

In particular, when Lin Youyi was holding the trough cake he bought and eating it with a smile on her face, he couldn't figure it out even more.

"Little girl, eat slowly, why are you in a hurry. However, this pastry looks so ordinary and not very delicate, why do you like it so much?"

"You don't understand, what I eat is not trough cakes, but memories!"

"Little girl, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are."

"I know that trough cake doesn't look good, and it doesn't taste very delicious, but I just like its taste very much. I have liked it since I was a child. Isn't it weird?"
