Chapter 271 - 271: Xiang Weinan Suspects Shu Yu
Xiang Weinan snapped back to his senses and patted his forehead.
“Oh, right, right, right. I almost forgot about this. The Jiang family hadn’t been peaceful recently, which is why Jiang Li didn’t have the ti to look for her.”
Hu Li nodded.
Xiang Weinan continued, “The Jiang family seems to have reported the case already, right? Are there still no clues on the murderer?”
“No, Constable Shi and the others found a few bearded n, but they weren’t the person Jiang Li was talking about. The Jiang family hasn’t found the culprit either, and it’s a ss now.”
Most importantly, they were very busy. Who would have the ti to find the murderer of a dandy who was obviously targeted due to personal grudges? Either way, the target was not in any big trouble. Just putting up a show was enough. It was better to use the remaining manpower to find Lady Lu’s Fourth Uncle.
Xiang Weinan sat down and began to ponder.
“Tell , how can this be such a coincidence? Just as Jiang Li was about to make a move on Lu Shuyu, he was hit on the head.”
Hu Li was surprised, “Lord, do you an that this matter has sothing to do with Lady Lu?”
“Yes, I suspect that the bearded man might be soone she secretly bribed.
The Lu family did not have money in the past, but now that they have opened a shop, they should be able to bribe others with a few dozen taels.”
A few dozen taels?
If Shu Yu heard this, she would probably roll her eyes.
Let alone a few dozen teals, she didn’t even think that Jiang Li was worthy of hiring soone to beat him up.
However, she did not expect that the first person to suspect her would be the most powerful official in Jiangyuan County, Xiang Weinan.
Fortunately, he was only suspicious. She would never admit to sothing without evidence.
At this ti, the group had already followed Madam Liu to the pavilion where Master Wen and the others were.
Master Wen was talking passionately with a few students. They didn’t want to disturb him, so they sat down and waited.
Dahu listened to them excitedly. Although he couldn’t understand a word, it didn’t stop his eyes from shining. His small hands were clenched tightly, and he looked excited.
Unlike the studious Dahu, Lu Sanzhu’s interest waned. He regretted following Shu Yu and the others here.
If he had known earlier, he would have suggested going ho after they had finished having so dessert in the Wen family.
Lu Sanzhu sighed and leaned listlessly against the railing. Listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the peach blossom forest, he almost fell asleep.
It wasn’t until Master Wen suddenly shouted “Good” that he jolted awake.
He was a little annoyed. He hated being woken up when he was sleeping well.
If it wasn’t because Yu was next to him, he would have cursed.
Lu Sanzhu’s impatience grew. Seeing that Shu Yu and Dahu were focused on the pavilion, he rolled his eyes and stood up silently. After taking a few steps back, he quickly slipped away.
Shu Yu knew that he had left, but she did not care.
Lu Sanzhu was a grown man, and she couldn’t possibly keep him tied down at all tis. As long as he didn’t cause trouble, he could leave if he wanted to.
Besides, Master Wen and the others were done and were ready to rest.
Madam Liu imdiately stepped forward and took a handkerchief to dab off Master Wen’s sweat as she whispered sothing.
After a while, Master Wen and his friends turned their heads and looked at Shu
Yu and Dahu.
Dahu instantly straightened his back and grabbed the strap of his bag, blinking.
Master Wen smiled and waved at him. He said amiably, “Are you Lu Dahu?
Co here, let
take a look.”
Dahu turned around and looked at Shu Yu. The latter gently pushed him.
“Go on..”
