The Old Granny laughed lowly, ”Look at her, without batting an eyelid, she got the Crown Prince's love, with the help of Drifting Moon, she eliminated Su Li, and then had to use Su Li's power to suppress Drifting Moon. If it wasn't for Su Li's sudden change in personality, I'm afraid that she would be the only one left in the entire General's Mansion.”

When Ma mama heard this, her expression changed, but she didn't understand why the madame was smiling. Her tone was filled with praise for the second young miss.

”She understands what she wants. Only those who have desires are unwilling to be mediocre, and are able to climb with great effort. As long as she ascends to the top, their General's Mansion will naturally follow and reap great rewards.”

Mo Lianjin did not return for the entire night.

The next day at breakfast, he came back worn out from the journey and was full of fatigue.

”Yefeng's background can be easily investigated. He is the only son of an outsider, and as for Imperial Noble Consort Yan, she is a pretty girl that was gifted to us by Phoenix Cry City. This duke plans to make a trip to Phoenix Cry City and return tomorrow at the latest.”

”You're leaving soon?” Su Li could not help but be worried.

”The matter with Witch Clan cannot be delayed. Don't forget, Bei Yue's diplomatic mission will enter the capital very soon. No one knows what Witch Clan are actually planning when they appear at this time.”

Su Li nodded, ”Then be careful on your way.”

”Yes.”

Mo Lianjin didn't even sit down to warm his seat, and directly left with Qing Mu.

Su Li had originally wanted to tell him about his discovery as well as his identity. It looked like he could only wait for him to come back.

After breakfast, Stars Pet Chain Supermarket and Song Lai came over to pick her up.

Nanny Chu prepared a carriage for the three of them.

The carriage had the symbol of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, incomparably noble.

On the way to the yamen, Song Lai happily said, ”Congratulations Fourth Miss!”

”Looking at your little expression, you don't seem too happy about me getting married.” Su Li joked, then said sternly: ”I know what you are worried about, even after I become a Fifth Prince's Wife, and perform a duty, I will still continue to do it.”

Song Lai opened his mouth, but the words that he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only nod his head in a dull manner, and was unable to say a single word.

”You all should know what happened to Assistant Minister Mansion yesterday, right?”

Song Lai nodded his head, ”Then the Madame Ji will go back to her own grave. The justice courts sentenced her to three years in prison.”

Su Li bit his lower lip. Logically speaking, the crime committed by Madame Ji should be worse than his, but...

There are so many injustices in this world!

When they reached the magistrate court, they met up with Wang Quanan.

Wang Quanan's face was filled with worry, ”This official has been investigating this case for so many days, yet I have not been able to find any clues. Even the clues found by the Fourth Miss s have a hard time making any progress on it.”

”Jade pendant, sandalwood smell, these two points can only be used in direct combat with the culprit. As the basis for determining the culprit, the only thing we can investigate is the relationship between the Juan Niang and the culprit.” Su Li took the records on the table and read through them carefully.

From the records of the visit, the relationship between Juan Niang and her family was very simple. There were only Wang Family and her family.

In the past year, she had returned home more frequently, fifteen times.

This point made Su Li feel that it was a little strange.

According to the customs of this time and place, unless something big had happened to his daughter after she got married, she wouldn't go back to her parents' home easily. If she went back too many times, others would gossip and cause trouble.

”Has Magistrate Wang ever asked if there was anything strange when Juan Niang returned to his parents' home?”

”According to Juan Niang's Matriarch, Juan Niang's mother's health is not very good, so she returns a little more frequently.”

”Have there been any common denominator suspects in any of the other cases?”

”Nope.” Wang Quanan sighed: ”This killer is too cunning, there are guilty pleas in every single case, it's hard to find the culprit!”

Su Li did not tell Wang Quanan about the Witch Clan. Although the two of them could be considered to be on the same side, no one knew which faction Wang Quanan belonged to.

”How about this, I'll bring Song Lai and Stars Pet Chain Supermarket to the Wang Family.”

”Alright, I will continue to send more people to look for the suspect.”

”Yes.”
