C60 (1/2)

Su Li chased a few steps in a flustered and exasperated manner. The wound on her back hurt a lot, and in the end, she could only stop in her tracks and grind her teeth in hatred.

”Don't let me know who you are.”

Su Li returned to the Yi Village, did not disturb Song Lai, and went back to his room to sleep.

What she did not know was that after she returned to her room, Song Lai's door made a slight creaking sound before completely closing tight.

The next day.

Su Li did not delay any longer. After eating breakfast, he brought Song Lai to the Hu Family.

Along the way, the citizens' enthusiasm for the skinning of cases was completely overshadowed by the incident of Zuo Shaochen's Night Beauty Pavilion.

The dignified Prime Minister's son, the Crown Prince's reading mate, had actually done such a despicable thing.

At the same time, everyone took out the matter of him triggering the Case of Heart Stealing and discussed passionately once again.

Su Li could not help but be suspicious, Zuo Shaochen did not look like a lustful person, how did he end up in the Night Beauty Pavilion?

Could it be …

Was it Mo Lianjin?

”Fourth Miss?” Song Lai saw that Su Li was lost in thought, and spoke to remind her, ”The Hu Family is right ahead, we are almost there.”

”Yes.”

Outside the Hu Family residence, a servant was already waiting.

”Greetings Fourth Miss. Madam has already complied with Fourth Miss's instructions.”

Su Li nodded, and followed the servants to the main hall.

In the main hall, Mrs. Hu was seated, and beside him was the Third Concubine. There were eight people in total, having been born from Hu Family, and with the addition of the servants, there were at least twenty or so people in the main hall.

”Why isn't the Shopkeeper Hu here?” Su Li looked around, but he did not see anyone.

”The Crown Prince of the Hou Mansion is hosting a banquet in the restaurant today. He went to manage it early on.” Mrs. Hu's words were feeble and she appeared to be exhausted, but she was not as crazed as she was yesterday. ”Wen'er, please entertain Fourth Miss for me. Whatever she wants, she will give.”

A young man stood up and answered, ”Yes, mother.”

Su Li looked at the young man, ”A few days before your younger brother died, did you have any symptoms of vomiting blood, chest tightness, or pain?”

The young man shook his head, ”The day before yesterday, I was bowing with my younger brother. I never heard him say that I was feeling unwell.”

Su Li's heart sank for a few seconds. After his ribs were broken, even if they matched well, it would not be able to take too much of a burden.

Walking, talking, or breathing can cause a break, let alone a quick bow.

”Fourth Miss, could it be time for me to kowtow …”

Su Li interrupted Song Lai's guess, ”Don't forget, there are no wounds on the skin at all.”

Song Lai scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

According to Hu Guangwen, there was a high chance that Hu Guangzhuo's ribs were broken on the day of his death.

But other evidence is needed to support this assumption.

”Who was there on the day Hu Guangzhuo died?”

Hu Guangwen looked at his mother. Seeing that she was in no mood to answer, he replied, ”It should be his mother, father, and the three concubines.”

A lady dressed in pink replied, ”Let me speak up for Madam, that day the three of us were in the front hall chatting with Madam, and before long the Master arrived. He did not even say a few words, Guangzhuo had also walked in, but just as he entered the front hall, he started vomiting blood, he did not even manage to stop himself, and before he could even say a word, he died.”

Su Li pursed his lips, taking note of what the lady said.

”Have any of you seen where Hu Guangzhuo appeared on the day of his death?”
