The number one sweet wife: Young marshal, hold on!

Chapter 261 Dealing with Inner Ghosts
When Huo Haochen returned to the Lu Mansion, he found that the killer had swallowed medicine and committed suicide. Huo Haochen punished the guards and asked a few servants to dispose of the killer's body.

When Yun Xi came back and saw Tang Youyou lying there safe and sound, he was relieved.Seeing the blood stains on Yun Xi's shoulder, Tang You You jumped up from the bed in fright. She pulled Yun Xi to the side of the bed, pointed to her shoulder and asked what happened.

Yun Xi didn't want Tang Youyou to worry, so she waved her hand and said that she accidentally tripped over a stone.

How could Tang Youyou believe her words, "This is obviously a wound from a bow and arrow, how could it be from a fall?"

"Enen, it was actually a kid who injured me playing with a bow and arrow." Yun Xi replied perfunctorily.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Tang Youyou was very angry, and Yun Xi made it clear that she didn't want to tell her the truth, "Where would a child use this kind of bow and arrow, if you don't tell me today, I will keep asking you As long as you want to tell me."

Yun Xi bowed her head and said nothing, she muttered a few words before faltering and saying: "In fact, someone attacked me."

"Who?" Tang Youyou looked at Yun Xi vigilantly.

"It should be the same group of people who attacked you last time. They all came for the bronze box. Fortunately, Huo Haochen rescued me in time, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be here now."

Tang Youyou's eyes widened after hearing this, she hugged Yun Xi suddenly, her eyes gradually became moist, she had lost her parents, now Yun Xi is like a sister to her, she can't lose Yun Xi anymore.

Seeing that Tang Youyou reacted so strongly, Yun Xi felt extremely guilty. To Yun Xi, Tang Youyou was like a sister, and she didn't want Tang Youyou to worry about her.

Yun Xi patted Tang Youyou's back, and comforted him: "It's okay, Huo Haochen sent some guards around our yard again, it's best for both of us not to go out recently."

Tang Youyou sniffed, "Okay, don't quarrel with Young Marshal Huo anymore, now we can only seek the help of Young Marshal Huo."

"Okay, I promise you, you won't quarrel with the young marshal anymore." Yun Xi assured her.In fact, through these two observations of Huo Haochen, the door of Yun Xi's heart has gradually opened to Huo Haochen.

In order to avoid being hunted down again when going out, Yun Xi and Tang Youyou took a few days off with a face full of faces.Huo Haochen and Shi Yifan didn't go to class either, they both went to investigate who the killer was.Yun Xi feels uncomfortable being bored at home all day long, and the state of being able to rely on others but not being able to do anything by herself is also unbearable for her.So Yun Xi sneaked into Lu's house from time to time to inquire about the latest news of Lu's house, hoping to find some news related to the gang of murderers.

Yun Xi didn't hear any news about the murder.A recent incident at the Lu family gave Yun Xi a new understanding of Lu Peishun.

The truth about the theft of money from the Lu family's treasury has never been found out, and the Lu family has not been peaceful after what the master did.Lu Peishun suspected that someone in the Lu family was cooperating with outsiders. Otherwise, how would outsiders know where the Lu family's warehouse was, and how could they find out exactly where the money was hidden in the cabinet?Lu Peishun asked the guard in charge of the storeroom, and only the drawer in that storeroom was touched, and the rest of the storeroom was in order.If it is a thief, it should be doubled.

Lu Peishun was worried that similar things would happen next, so he executed all the servants he thought were problematic, thinking that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.At first when Yun Xi found out about this, she only thought that Lu Peishun was cruel by nature, but what happened afterwards made her a little more suspicious.The servants killed by Lu Peishun were basically related to her deceased mother, either they used to take care of her mother, or they had some contact with her mother.Yun Xi wants to know too much about her mother, so Yun Xi has been keeping an eye on the Lu family these days.

Yun Xi originally wanted to look for the remaining servants to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, but after investigation, she found that Lu Peishun did not let go of the servants who had even the slightest connection with her mother.Lu Yunxi felt more and more suspicious, she suddenly thought of Mrs. Lu.Judging from the performance of the old lady, the old lady must know something.Yun Xi planned to go directly to the tiger's den to find out.

Lu Peishun himself has been troubled by Yun Xi's mother for the past few days, and seeing Yun Xi again today, he is naturally very impatient. "What are you doing here?" Lu Peishun asked bluntly.

Yun Xi was not angry, she politely bowed to Lu Peishun, "I heard that the old lady has a cough recently, so let me come and see her."

Lu Peishun's expression softened when he saw that Yun Xi was still thinking about them, the Lu family. "The old lady is staying in the room now, you go directly, I have to go out to do something now."

"Go slowly." Yun Xi said respectfully.

Lu Peishun nodded, then put on his four-cornered hat and went out.

After Yun Xi walked to the door of the old lady, she sorted out her emotions. She tried her best to recall all the sad things after she was born.After the emotions were ready, Yun Xi knocked on the old lady's door.

The old lady's maid opened the door for Yun Xi, she was surprised and happy to see Yun Xi, and immediately invited Yun Xi in.

"Miss, our old lady has been talking about you recently." The maid smiled.

Yun Xi nodded with a smile, feeling a little guilty in her heart, her purpose today was not to visit the old lady's condition, on the contrary, she came to aggravate the old lady's condition.

"Yun Xi, you're here." Seeing Yun Xi, the old lady turned the wheelchair excitedly and wanted to come to her side.

Seeing this, Yun Xi quickly walked over and squatted beside the old lady.When Yun Xi saw several bottles of medicine on the old lady's table, she couldn't help but feel agitated. In fact, in Yun Xi's eyes, the old lady was not innocent, because the old lady knew that her son had committed such a big crime. Wrong, but she still pampered him like this.

"Yun Xi, why are you free to come today?" Seeing Yun Xi coming, the old lady's expression of death due to illness dissipated instantly.

Yun Xi looked at the maid standing at the door.The maid quickly realized what Yun Xi meant, she walked out tactfully and closed the door.

After seeing the maid leave, Yun Xi first asked about the old lady's condition, and the old lady told her not to worry.

As he spoke, Yun Xi couldn't help but shed tears.Seeing that Yun Xi was crying suddenly, the old lady panicked for a moment. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and wanted to help Yun Xi wipe away her tears. , and took his hand back tremblingly.
