Chapter 3 What If I Don't Want To
"Why is Miss Yun Wu standing still? Does she disdain to enter our Liang family's door?" The Chen family said sharply.

"Yun Jiu'an, if you don't want to go out immediately! Sister Hanxiang, a noble girl who has not left the court, is so troubled by you today that she can hardly hold her head up in Pingjing. It's not because of Liang Qilang's hard work. You will never want to step in the door of the Duke's Mansion! Don't be ignorant!"

It was Fu Yaxuan, the daughter of the original owner's aunt, who spoke out with hatred.She has always been friends with noble girls from various families in Beijing, and Huo Hanxiang was born in a noble family, so she is naturally the object of her friendship.

Yun Jiu'an glanced at her, but ignored her.It wasn't until a figure flashed behind the crowd, that it was almost time, that she looked at Mrs. Huo and said unhurriedly, "What if I don't want to?"

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Chen slapped the table and stood up, "Well, you young lady of the Yun family, you really have a lot of ambitions. Listen to me, as long as I'm here in the Liang family, you don't need to be the wife of Xiao Xiangqilang! I have never seen such a shameless person." , Yun Langzhong's family is in trouble!"

"Whoever dares to say that my sister Jiu'an is shameless is talking about herself."

Lu Xiaomo slipped in from the crowd. She had a beautiful face, but her eyes were wild, her hair was a little messy, and she looked a little embarrassed.

She grabbed Yun Jiu'an's hand, "The marriage with sister Jiu'an was requested by your family Liang Qilang himself. He promised to marry sister Jiu'an as his wife, and he will become a concubine when he comes to you. Why don't he let him marry him?" For example, why so many people bully a little girl?"

Chen's face turned pale with anger.

"Miss Lu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't talk too much here. Come and sit here." Fu Yaxuan anxiously waved to her.

Lu Xiaomo yelled at her, "You're still Jiu'an's cousin, but you follow these people into trouble, and you are the one who is talking about you. It's really embarrassing for the Fu family."

Fu Yaxuan's face turned red and blue for a while.After all, the Lu family plays an important role in Daqing, and they don't have the guts to turn back, so they can only swallow this bad breath.

Yun Jiu'an secretly shook Lu Xiaomo's hand back, she likes this chick who is forthright.

Therefore, the matter that Li Yan confessed must not be done.

Mrs. Huo was about to speak, when someone suddenly said urgently to Mrs Zhou Liang: "Auntie, please go to the garden to have a look, Young Master Biao...Master Biao..."

Surprised, Zhou Liang stood up abruptly, "What's the matter, Young Master Biao?"

The servant did not dare to speak directly, sweating on the top of his head and said: "Master Biao seems to be dying."

Zhou Liangshi rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

For a moment, the scene was chaotic, howling and helping, no matter what some people thought, everyone walked towards the garden.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yun Jiu'an stopped Lu Xiaomo and whispered, "Did someone knock you into the water just now?"

Lu Xiaomo was surprised, "How do you know?"

Yun Jiu'an didn't answer her, but asked again, "Is it the lotus pond in the garden?"

Lu Xiaomo shook his head, "It's the fish pond in Nongyuyuan. When I was watching the fish there, I was accidentally hit by a passing girl and slipped down."

Yun Jiu'an frowned and said to herself, "That little maid must have been lost."

Lu Xiaomo was confused, "What did you say?"

Yun Jiu'an asked again, "Did anyone else see you fall into the water there?"

"In addition to my close girl Ling Dang, there should be two servants from the Duke's Mansion. But I had already climbed up before they approached. Is... is there any problem?"

Yun Jiu'an shook her head, since this was a conspiracy against her, the two servants would never be found again.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. Did you change your clothes after falling into the water?"

"That's right. Is there something wrong?"

The problem is big.Yun Jiu'an quickly sorted out the memories of the original owner, and whispered to her...

While Yun Jiuan and Lu Xiaomo were talking, there was chaos in the garden—Zhou Liang's son, Zhou Dakun, was not dying, but had already died.

The state of death was very unsightly, with no clothes covering his body, he was stabbed in the chest and in the heart with a knife, and died on the spot.

When everyone arrived at the scene, the body had already been covered with sackcloth, leaving only the neck up.

Zhou Liang hugged the corpse and howled to death.

Li Yan, the lord of Lingxiang County, sat in a corner with a group of servants, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, preparing to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Huo called all the servants in Nonghuayuan to inquire about Zhou Dakun's death.

All the servants asked all kinds of questions, because the servants were all helping in front of the banquet today, no one knew when Zhou Dakun entered Nonghuayuan, let alone who killed him.

Mrs. Huo ordered people to seal the gates of the west courtyard, and at the same time sent people to inform the Liang family who was accompanying the guests in front.

All the doors of the West Courtyard have been sealed, and it is estimated that no one will be able to get out until the murderer is found out.

When Yun Jiuan and Lu Xiaomo arrived at the scene, the experienced stewards in the mansion had already found out from the body that the deceased had fallen into the water before his death.

The clothes are not covering the body, I am afraid that he had a good time with the woman before his death.

Judging from the wounds, the murderer and the deceased should be acquaintances, otherwise they would not have been stabbed head-on without showing signs of resistance.

At the same time, the murder weapon was also missing.

From the current point of view, only by finding the murder weapon, and then through the clues on the murder weapon, might the murderer be found.

Of course, it is best to find the woman who is happy with him.

When the steward came to these conclusions, Rong Guogong's youngest son Liang Shengzong and Liang Ziyuan who seemed to be very busy with banquets after not showing up for a long time finally appeared, and several noble sons and brothers also followed.

Those noble ladies suddenly regained their spirits, and all of them looked at these rare young men in the capital.

Of course, the most eye-catching one was General Song Zhusong in a green robe.As the name suggests, he not only has a handsome face, but also has a figure as tall as a pine and bamboo, and he has the extraordinary appearance of a noble son of a noble family.

One is Lu Jingxuan Lu Shao Yin Lu, who is dressed in a phoenix pair dancing Ling brocade robe.With sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is imposing, standing in the crowd, it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

"That's right, the Duke's Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and Xiao Xiaoduan dared not come in. Since no suspicious-looking people entered the entire West Courtyard, it is very likely that the people inside killed Zhou Dakun. Why don't the third master arrange someone to find him?" The knife that matches the wound on Zhou Dakun's body will surely yield something."

The steward stood up and clasped his fists to Liang Shengzong.

Looking at Zhou Liang who was crying so loudly, Liang Shengzong frowned, "This matter is not difficult, but I'm afraid it will disturb many delicate customers."

"Third brother, you must be the master for Kun'er. He died so inexplicably, and you must catch the one who killed a thousand swords to avenge my Kun'er..." Zhou Liangshi immediately fell silent when he heard his voice. He didn't care to hold the corpse and cry bitterly, but hugged Liang Shengzong's thigh and cried and cursed.
