Chapter 343
A solitary moon hangs in the sky, Nanyuan Capital City is quiet, and the officers and soldiers of Forbidden Night patrolled around, except for the lanterns hanging under the hanging beams, there is no one else.

The morning comes a little later, compared to the summer when the rooster crows and the sun rises, the autumn sun is already noisy with the cock crowing and only half of the head is exposed.The people who went to the morning market had already made up the city of Nanyuan. When they were clamoring for price bargains, groups of officers and soldiers dressed in green government officials hurried past.

All the people put aside their work one after another and looked at them. Their footsteps stopped suddenly in the Zhenxihou Mansion, and one of them stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The gatekeeper heard the sound, yawned and went to open the door.Seeing a group of officers and soldiers crowded together, they were so frightened that they suddenly dozed off and dispersed.

"Adults, you... what are you doing?" the steward asked.

"Someone in the mansion reported to the officials that someone was killed in the mansion. Please let the steward do the work for you, and let us go in and investigate." The leader of the officers and soldiers said.

"This..." The steward was a little embarrassed, "Our master has gone to court, and the officers and soldiers came to talk first. When our master comes back, I will talk to you again, how about it?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers thought for a moment, and led the officers and soldiers into the mansion.The common people flocked forward to watch the bustle, the steward frowned, and said in a loud voice, "What are you looking at! Leave, leave!"

When the common people heard the words, they didn't take it seriously, they still stood where they were.The steward glared at them, and simply closed the door of the mansion, out of sight and out of mind.

……

"bitter……"

Bai Ruotong swallowed a mouthful of the decoction, frowned, covered his mouth and pushed the medicine bowl away.Cheng'er brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it aside, seeing that half of the medicine bowl hadn't been eaten, she frowned and said: "Miss, there is still half a bowl of medicine, eat it while it's hot, doctor Yu said, you have to finish it , otherwise this disease will not be cured.”

"Damn Doctor Yu, curse him to be single forever." Bai Ruotong gritted his teeth, raised his head, and drank the soup in his hand.

"Miss, this is your fault, Dr. Yu is doing it for your own good, how can you curse Dr. Yu." Qi'er took a look at her own lady, and said with a slap in the face.With a soft snort, Bai Ruotong took the plate and stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth.

"Miss Orange."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Cheng'er stepped forward and opened the door, a servant girl stood in the corridor in a panic, and said: "The officers and soldiers are here, the master asked the young lady to go to the study to ask questions."

"What is the relationship between the officers and soldiers coming and the master asking the lady to ask questions?" Cheng'er was slightly startled and asked.

"The officers and soldiers are here to investigate the matter of the third aunt. The master has just returned to the mansion, and now he is angry. The county magistrate is waiting in the front hall."

The servant girl explained.

The two spoke in a moderate voice, which happened to reach Bai Ruotong's ears.She smiled softly, got up and said: "Third aunt has not passed away yet, there are people who can't wait to be a demon, so let's go."

Qi'er helped Bai Ruotong put on his shoes and socks.Seeing that she hadn't put on any makeup, Bai Ruotong wanted to take her to the vanity mirror, but Bai Ruotong gave up: "No need, I'm still sick here, so let's go, father won't blame me for being inappropriate. "

"Yes." Qi'er nodded and led her out of the room.

Father's study is on the north side, and Qingtong courtyard is on the east side.Bai Ruotong couldn't walk that long, Cheng'er called for a soft sedan chair and helped Bai Ruotong sit on it.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair and walked to the corridor, he heard a furious voice from the study: "Nonsense! Your aunt is not dead yet! You go to report to the official! You want to see our Zhenxihou's mansion get out of embarrassment!"
