Chapter 152 Covered scratches on the wall

Just as Chu Huanyan expected, an hour later, the people who followed Chu Ziyuan came back and reported that Chu Ziyuan had been lingering outside the door for a long time after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in the end he did not come forward.

Chu Huanyan stood on the corridor, looking at the fallen leaves in the garden, "Where are you, are you back now?"

"Miss Hui, not yet."

"Find a few people to follow, bring sacks with you, and find an opportunity to hit him halfway, just don't beat him to death."

"Ah?" The boy who replied was stunned. When he saw Chu Huanyan turning to look at him, he hurriedly straightened his expression and said, "Yes, I obey!"

After this period of time, everyone in the mansion has understood that if they want to continue to stay in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, they must listen to the orders of the eldest lady. As for the rest...even the prince is not important!After all, it's not the prince who pays them monthly money.

"Miss, are you still angry and want to teach the prince a lesson?" Xian Yue asked.

"No." Chu Huanyan's eyes followed a leaf that fell from the treetop. "I haven't bothered to care about him recently. Give him some lessons and let him stay in the yard to recuperate and save himself from going out to cause trouble."

After all, Chu Ziyuan is still the eldest son of the Ning'an Hou Mansion. If he really gets into any trouble, he will still be implicated in it.

Moreover, none of the uncles and brothers in the Chu family's branches are so economical. If Chu Ziyuan is completely driven out of the Chu family now, they may not come back and worry about the Ning'an Marquis Mansion's family business again.It would be better to keep Chu Ziyuan as a puppet first, so as to suppress the thoughts of those people.

In the evening, after Chu Huanyan had dinner, Chu Ziyuan, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face and several broken ribs, was also carried back to the yard.

Chu Huanyan went to take a look. Although Chu Ziyuan was still awake, he was frowning in pain when he spoke, and he was determined that Wang Qi must be taking revenge.

Chu Huanyan didn't say anything more, she just asked the doctor to be found, and then returned to her room.

The next day, she went to the palace again, and the investigation into Youlan also gained some clues.

"According to the information investigated, Youlan's family still has her parents, brother-in-law, and even a young nephew. After Youlan entered the palace, she sent money to her family intermittently. Until two years ago, she never sent money again. After passing the money, her family has since disappeared from the world, with no whereabouts." Qin Li carefully reported the information he found.

"From this point of view, it is very likely that the person behind it threatened Youlan's family with her, and Youlan was afraid that if she confessed to the other party, her family would die, so she committed suicide immediately." Xian Yue said.

Thinking of the hairpin inserted into Youlan's neck, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart. Although Youlan did something wrong, if it was really because her family was threatened, it would be excusable, at least not completely. of evildoers.

But the person behind it threatened Youlan with his family. This was really abominable!
Xianyue frowned, with indignation showing on his face involuntarily.

Qin Li looked at her and lowered his tone to persuade: "Such things are not uncommon in the palace. Don't be too angry. There are some things that even if we continue to fight against each other, people are already dead and there is nothing we can do."

Xian Yue glanced at Qin Li, pursed her lips, and said nothing. Instead, she turned to Chu Huanyan and said to her.

"Miss, although Youlan's family has been found missing, there are no other clues or evidence. Can we continue to investigate?"

"Let's go to Youlan's room and have a look." Chu Huanyan's tone was calm, but there was a trace of crease between her eyebrows.

If the person behind the scenes really used Youlan's family to threaten her, then now that Youlan is dead, those people have no use value and have even become a hot potato, and they may be killed soon.Or... already dead.

Yingxue Palace is being renovated, but the dormitory hall is mainly on fire. Youlan and Yuegui's courtyard is still fine.

When Chu Huanyan entered, she immediately noticed the orchids that had been removed from the yard, leaving only a bare open space.Xianyue and Qin Li followed her. Just after Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan into the palace, he received a message saying that he was summoned by Emperor Xiao and had already gone to the imperial study.

The room in the courtyard was unlocked. Chu Huanyan pushed the door open and entered Youlan's room. Everything in the room was the same as before, without any changes.

There is a pot of orchid on the shelf by the window.

She came to check yesterday and heard from Yuegui that this flower was Youlan's favorite pot during her lifetime, so Concubine Xue specially ordered that the pot of orchid be left in this room as a gift to Youlan.

Chu Huanyan looked at the orchid and found that the tips of the leaves seemed to be slightly yellowed, and the leaves were no longer as green as before.

His eyes moved away from the shelf and landed elsewhere in the room.

While scanning the edge of the bed, Chu Huanyan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some scratches on the ground at the foot of the bed.

Chu Huanyan leaned down and took a closer look. It was indeed a scratch, as if it was accidentally scratched on the ground when moving the bed.It's just that the scratches are not obvious and are difficult to spot if you don't look carefully.

"Did you have these scratches when you came here yesterday?" Chu Huanyan asked Qin Li and Xian Yue.

They both came forward and took a closer look.

"Miss, I didn't pay attention at the time." Xian Yue shook her head.

"It looks like it was left by moving the bed, but it was so subtle that my subordinates didn't notice it yesterday." Qin Li also shook his head, "But even if there are some marks on the ground, it is normal."

Chu Huanyan stared at the mark for a while, then stood up and ordered Qin Li to move the bed.

"Ms. Chu, I checked under the bed before and found nothing."

Qin Li said, but still followed Chu Huanyan's instructions and moved the bed.

The bed in Youlan's room was not heavy, and it was just moved, not moved, so Qin Li didn't spend much effort on it.

With a "squeaking" sound, the bed was moved along the traces on the ground.

The moment he moved away, Xian Yue pointed at the wall and said in surprise: "What are those?"

I saw several scratches of varying depths on the wall, and they were all distributed in the row where the edge of the bed was pressed against the wall.

On weekdays, the bed is placed against the wall, and the edge of the bed can cover all the scratches.No matter whether you look at it from above or from under the bed, you can't see the slightest trace.

Qin Li moved the bed away completely, and Chu Huanyan walked to the wall and brushed the scratches with her hand. They were deep and shallow, and looked chaotic and irregular.

Xianyue looked at the scratches and frowned: "Miss, these are not words or patterns. Could it be that Youlan just scratched them casually when she had nothing to do?"
