Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 994 The identity of the murderer surfaced
Tianyinju.

Mrs. Li was sitting in the house drinking tea after dinner, because the sky had already darkened, and a candle was already lit on the table next to her.

Yinqiao walked in at this time. "Ma'am, two old nuns said they wanted to see you, and they said it was related to Fifth Auntie's death."

Li Shi pondered for a moment before saying: "Let them in." Putting down the teacup in his hand.

Yinqiao turned around and walked out, leading in two old nuns.

These two old mothers are both old people from the prime minister's residence, and one of them is the old mother who poured Yexiang.

As soon as the two nuns entered, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said lightly: "Speak."

The two old nuns looked at each other, and according to the previous agreement, the old nun who poured out Yexiang took the initiative to say: "Madam, the murderer described by Miss San... This old slave and this old sister feel very similar... .”

Li frowned upon hearing this. "who?"

The old lady who poured out Yexiang looked at Li Shi, and said cautiously: "...Elder Young Master...."

Mrs. Li was silent for a moment.

Yinqiao took a peek at Li Shi's silent appearance, then stared at the old woman who fell on Yexiang and asked, "Why do you suspect it is the eldest son?"

The old lady who poured out Yexiang carefully watched Li Shi's every move, and saw that she seemed to acquiesce to Yinqiao's question, so she dared to answer: "Because the old slave once saw the eldest son feed a black cat... ..." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced suggestively at the old woman next to him.

The old mammy said reluctantly: "The old servant has indeed seen a black cat appearing beside the Eldest Young Master, and more importantly... the Eldest Young Master is blind in one eye."

Listening to the words of the two old mothers, Mrs. Li's forgotten dusty memories were suddenly revealed.

After having Zhuo Wenbo, she completely forgot the existence of Zhuo Ziao.If it wasn't for the reminder from these two nuns, she would have forgotten that there was such a person in the mansion.

Yinqiao looked at Li Shi at the right time and said, "Madam, the Eldest Young Master is indeed blind in one eye, and he was stabbed blind by the sword of Si Kou Yubing who escaped."

The black cat and the blind eye all matched up with the murderer Zhuo Ran spoke of.But what Li Shi couldn't figure out was why Zi Ao wanted to kill Fifth Yiniang?He raised his head and glanced at Yinqiao suggestively.

Yinqiao immediately took out the reward silver and rewarded the two of them.

The two old nuns received the reward and kowtowed in gratitude.

Yinqiao personally sent them out of Tianyinju, and said worriedly: "Madam knows this matter well, and she has made her own decision. When you leave this door, you'd better be careful in your words and deeds and don't gossip everywhere." He warned with a deep meaning: "Otherwise there will be rewards and punishments."

The two old nuns promised repeatedly, and turned to leave.

Yinqiao was about to turn around and go back and forth when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuo Ran approaching from far away, so she stood there and watched her getting closer.

Seeing that her face was full of tears, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her black hair was even more dull.

She sighed again in her heart, her reputation as the number one beauty in the capital was about to give way to Zhuo Nan.

"Miss San." She bowed her head and saluted.

Zhuo Ran looked at Yinqiao who was bowing to her in a polite manner, and said coldly, "I want to see my mother."

"Please come with your servant." Yinqiao led the way.

The two stepped into Tianyinju, walked through the outer courtyard and walked into the inner courtyard, Zhuo Ran stopped at the door of the room, but Yinqiao walked into the house to announce.

"Ma'am, Third Miss is asking to see you outside the door."

Mrs. Li glanced at Yinqiao, and said lightly, "Let her in."

Yinqiao turned and walked out, and quickly led Zhuo Ran back and forth.

Zhuo Ran saw Li bowed her head and said, "Mother, my daughter has a few words to say to you alone."

Mrs. Li glanced at Yinqiao, Yinqiao understood and immediately withdrew.

Zhuo Ran walked a few steps closer, looked at Li Shi with a cute face, and said, "Mother, Fifth Aunt told Ran'er one thing before she died."

Mrs. Li looked at Zhuo Ran's obedient appearance, and lowered her eyes. "What's the matter?" Fifth Yiniang must have told Ran'er, and she deliberately put her to death by mistake.If you want to blame, blame her for being so beautiful that she provoked Butler Zhou!Give yourself this chance!
Zhuo Ran took another step closer, with a strange look on his face as if recalling: "My aunt suddenly said before she died, what is the real name of the third aunt, Mei Shuang..."

Li Shi stood up suddenly, and looked at Zhuo Ran with indifferent eyes, which suddenly became extremely fierce!

Seeing Li's loss of composure, Zhuo Ran lowered her head and showed a silent smile.

Mrs. Li came back to her senses and sat down slowly, her sharp eyes became indifferent again, she looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "What else is there?"

"none."

"If you're tired, go back to your former yard, Baihuaxuan, to rest."

Zhuo Ran looked up at Li Shi who politely refused, showing a look of fear. "Mother, my daughter dare not go back to Baihuaxuan."

Li frowned.

Zhuo Ran continued with concerns in her heart: "The fifth aunt was brutally murdered. My daughter suspects that someone secretly avenged the dead third aunt. If the murderer even takes revenge on my daughter... my daughter is afraid...."

Mrs. Li looked at Zhuo Ran, saw that her face was terrified and did not seem to be fake, and asked, "Why did you say that the murderer killed the fifth aunt to avenge the third aunt?" Could it be that Zi Ao really killed the fifth aunt for the dead Aunt revenge?But didn't he hate Third Aunt the most before?

Zhuo Ran burst into tears, took out a handkerchief to wipe and then replied: "Although Wu Yiniang was disfigured by the murderer, it was not fatal. What really killed her was the wound on her neck, mother! She was let dry on purpose." He died with blood! The murderer is too cruel! My daughter has also seen the body of Third Aunt, and she also cut her throat with a knife, so she has doubts."

Mrs. Li reassured her knowingly: "The person is already dead, no matter how sad you are, it won't help. I will let people find out about this matter." Thinking of Zhuo Ran's identity, even if she is the fifth imperial concubine who has fallen out of favor, it is also the name of the fifth prince Princess, don't let anything happen to her.

After deliberating for a while, he said: "Qing'er's courtyard is guarded by officers and soldiers left by Situ Weiguo, so it is very safe. I will ask Yinqiao to send you to her courtyard to rest."

Zhuo Ran: "..." Knowing that Fifth Aunt was secretly killed by Zhuo Qing's people, she was even sent to Yue Die Xuan!
Does mother also want to put her to death?
On second thought, the more dangerous the place, the safer it might be.

Because if something happened to her with Zhuo Qing, Zhuo Qing would definitely be accused by everyone!Thinking about it this way makes me feel at ease!

Thoughts turned and turned, but in an instant, he bowed his head to Li Shi and saluted. "Thank you mother for being so thoughtful, my daughter resigned."

"En." Li Shi nodded slightly, watching Zhuo Ran step out of the door, and after talking to Yin Qiao outside, the two walked out of the yard.

Mrs. Li stepped forward and closed the door, turned around and entered the inner room, sat in front of the dressing table with her back facing, and suddenly shouted: "Come out."

A hidden guard jumped off the beam and knelt down in front of her.
