Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised.

He passed away less than a year, but this woman was not dressed as a vassal.

"My sister-in-law said that her husband had passed away, but when we came here just now, the disciples said that the master was not here." The young man raised doubts.

The woman's eyes shed tears: "My mother-in-law is old and has been ill for a long time. She is afraid that she will be stimulated, so she hides the news of her master's death."

"Outsiders don't seem to know the news of their husband's death."

The woman pursed the corner of her lips and smiled bitterly at Lu Xuan: "To be honest, I have only one daughter with the master, and I am only in my teens now. If the tribesmen in my hometown heard that the master died, my mother-in-law couldn't bear it and said that, we mother and daughter might be eaten alive by those people..."

This is the case in this world. If a man who is the pillar leaves early, the orphan and widow will be sad. What is left is that his son is slightly better. If he is a daughter, it is difficult to maintain his family property.

"The master is a businessman. He runs between the capital and the south. He always stays away from the capital for most of the year, and he rarely goes back to his hometown. This also makes it convenient for the little woman to hide the news of the master's death." The woman said, wiping her tears with a veil.

"Sister-in-law is going to keep it hidden?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "At least, I have to wait for the mother-in-law to be raising her for a hundred years and her daughter will get married successfully before letting go of the news."

"Didn't anyone outside know the news of Zun's husband's death?"

The woman hesitated for a moment.

Lu Xuan did not urge him, and waited for her to speak quietly.

A moment later, the woman said, "The master has a good friend. He brought back the news of the master's death, so he knew."

"Tell me about the cause of the death of my husband and the identity of that friend."

The woman said in tears: "The master met a horse on his way back to Beijing from the south last year and was killed by those evil people. His friend is Wang Jing, who is also a businessman. Sometimes he would go south with the master."

"This Wang Jing is currently in the capital?"

"It should be there." The woman nodded, "He came to visit us a few days ago."

As if he was worried about causing trouble for Wang Jing, but he was afraid that the adults in front of him would suspect her innocence, the woman hesitated and said, "Sir, Wang Jing has a good relationship with our master. After the master left, he took good care of our orphans and widows. He is a good person--"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I won't be wronged by a good person. Please tell me about Wang Jing's address."

The woman said an address and Lu Xuan stood up: "I disturbed my sister-in-law today. We will not spread the story of the death of my husband."

"Thank you, sir." The woman stood up and gave her a message.

"Sister-in-law stayed." Lu Xuan said politely and walked out.

Whether the woman said it was true naturally needs to be verified. What we need to do now is to meet Wang Jing.

As soon as Lu Xuan walked to the hall door, a girl ran in: "Mom——"

Seeing Lu Xuan and the others, the girl stopped suddenly and looked at her mother at a loss.

The woman hurriedly pulled the girl and scolded her, "I'm still so irritable when I'm so old. What should I do if I offend the noble man?"

The woman pulled the girl to apologize to Lu Xuan.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so nervous." Lu Xuan comforted her warmly and continued to walk out.

The girl's aggrieved voice came from behind: "Mom, I was anxious to tell you when I bought the birthday gift that my grandmother would like."

"That can't be as good as a girl." The woman touched her daughter's head.

Lu Xuan paused and turned around and turned back.

"Sir?" The woman was nervous and surprised. She didn't understand why the young adult was back and couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand tightly.

Lu Xuan's eyes swept across the girl's face and asked the woman: "Is the old lady's birthday coming?"

The woman was even more surprised and confused why the other party asked about this.

Seeing the boy's expression serious, she nodded: "Yes, my mother-in-law's birthday is coming soon. I was still talking about why the master hasn't come back yet."

"Will the old lady have a birthday in the capital?"

"Of course, no matter how busy the master is, he will spend time with his mother-in-law at this time of year."

Lu Xuan looked more and more serious: "Which is the old lady's birthday?"

Although the woman was confused, she quickly answered the question: "It's going to be there in two days."

Two days later it is the second day of May.

Lu Xuan's expression completely sank.

Three years ago, the second day of May lunar month was the day when Princess Yingyue disappeared!

And what did she say when she interrogated Caiyun?

She said that Mr. Zhu came that day and asked her to act, so she sent Yingying to deliver a letter to Tao Ming.

Needless to say, Tao Ming provoked Yang Wen with that difficult question. Yang Wen went to ask Chief Du for advice, and Chief Du let his daughter play in the academy.

Then Princess Yingyue disappeared. Three years later, there was finally news, but she was already covered in white bones.

Since the second day of the fifth month is Zhu Chengye’s mother’s birthday, Zhu Chengye will be with his mother, so how could he go to Jinshui River to see Caiyun?

Lu Xuan's eyes were deep and he sneered in his heart.

It’s clear that things are coming to this point. Either the woman is lying in front of you, or Caiyun is lying, and with a little speculation, you will know who is lying.

The Zhu family has been in the capital for a year or two. The old lady has heard of her and even came to visit her. Then she will know when she asked about the old lady’s birthday. She will know when she asked about this kind of lie. Women are asking for trouble.

The one who lied was Caiyun!

When Lu Xuan thought about Caiyun's collapse and fear, he was a little impressed.

Who would have thought that a Hua Niang, who seemed to be completely defeated by her mental defense, was still lying at that time.

It’s a pity that my luck is a little bad, and I seem to be foolproof. The day I took action was the same as Zhu Chengye’s mother’s birthday.

No, it should not be said that it is bad luck, but that the net of sky is vast.

"Then I understand, thank you sister-in-law for telling me."

Lu Xuan left the Zhu family with great strides, and did not rush to interrogate Caiyun, but instead found the Wang Jing family as he had planned.

"The master is not at home." The servant who opened the door replied.

"Where did you go?" Lu Xuan was too lazy to waste time and showed his identity.

The identity of the Ministry of Justice is still very useful, and the servant immediately told the truth.

It turned out that Wang Jing went to Jinshui River.

The boy looked at the white clouds and sighed softly.

It seems that I am going to Jinshui River again.

I asked several pleasure boats that Wang Jing often went to, and if nothing unexpected happened, the cloud romance was in it.

Lu Xuan brought Lai Xi to Jinshui River without delay and finally found Wang Jing in a pleasure boat called Jufanglou.

"Who are you?" Wang Jing didn't go home last night, and he was also a regular visitor to Jinshui River.

Lu Xuan lit up the waist card, and when the other party's expression suddenly changed, he asked lightly: "Are you talking here or follow me back to the yamen?"

"Talk here, talk here." Wang Jing nodded and bowed, his posture was very low.

He made some money by doing business like him, but he didn't dare to pay in front of the officials.
