Chapter 67

Ruo Shiyu stood in front of the window, looking out of the window in a daze, her current mood was like the gloomy weather at the moment.

Tweety suddenly ran in in a panic, and while packing her things, she said, "Miss, let's get out of here quickly."

Ruo Shiyu walked over and grabbed her and asked, "What happened, so flustered?"

"The government came to arrest you, Madam asked the servant to take you out to hide."

Tweety didn't know what happened, but she knew something must have happened.

If Shi Yu doesn't want to leave, it will only make things difficult for her father, and she didn't kill anyone, so why hide.

"No, I won't go." Ruo Shiyu said firmly.

Tweety had already packed her bags, and upon hearing these words, she pulled her out, "Miss, this time you just listen to Madam, don't be self-willed."

Ruo Shiyu pushed her hand away, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. If I hide, it will be tantamount to admitting my crime of murder, so I can't go."

"But……"

With a "bang", the door was suddenly pushed open.

When Mrs. Ruo saw her daughter who hadn't left, her body swayed a little, and she almost fainted.

"Miss Ruo, please come with us, Zhou Fu Yin will send you over for questioning." The two yamen servants stood in front of the door and said respectfully.

"Okay, I would like to trouble you two officers and elder brothers to wait for a while, and I will go with you after a few words with my mother." Ruo Shiyu leaned slightly towards the two yamen servants.

The two yamen servants nodded and turned to wait outside the courtyard.

Mrs. Ruo ran over to hold her daughter's hand, and said anxiously: "I didn't tell you to leave with Tweety, why are you so disobedient!"

Ruo Shiyu held her mother's hand instead, and smiled softly: "Mother, don't worry, your daughter will be fine."

After Ruo Shiyu comforted her mother with a few words, she got up and was ready to go.

"Miss, you can take your slave to go with you. I would like to go with you." Seeing that Miss was going to go to the danger alone, Cui'er immediately asked.

Ruo Shiyu shook her head and refused, "You stay and take care of your mother and father."

Ruo Shiyu didn't say any more, she walked out with small steps while wearing her skirt, and the two yamen servants looked at the person who was coming, and left behind her.

At the gate of Shuntian Mansion, if Chaofeng saw the people getting off the carriage, he immediately went up to meet them.

"Father." Ruo Shiyu called calmly.

Ruo Chaofeng nodded and said: "Don't worry, just tell the truth, don't be afraid."

"Daughter understands." Ruo Shiyu left in response, walked to the gate, looked back at her father, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, but was quickly replaced by firmness.

Lu Nanzhi, who was passing by Shuntian Mansion, stopped suddenly, stretched out his hand and tugged at Shen Lanze's sleeve, pointed to Ruo Chao Fengwen who was not far away, and said, "Hey, isn't that your Uncle Ruo? Why is he here?"

Shen Lanze looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw Ruo Chaofeng pacing back and forth there.

Looking at the man with furrowed brows, Lu Nanzhi asked cautiously, "Do you want to go over and have a look?"

"No need!" Shen Lanze replied indifferently, turned around and pulled Lu Nanzhi to leave, but she stopped her.

"Wait!" Lu Nanzhi grabbed Shen Lanze's clothes again, and said in a strong tone: "You can't treat Uncle Ruo like this, no matter what, he is your elder!"

Shen Lanze said firmly, "I have nothing to do with Ruofu."

Lu Nanzhi didn't expect him to be so stubborn, so he stomped his feet angrily, "I heard that Ji Shengquan was killed in the alley, and Miss Ruo had a bad fight with him before."

"What do you mean?" Shen Lanze turned to look at her.

Lu Nanzhi smiled and continued: "Ji Shengquan died so inexplicably, the first person to be suspected is naturally Miss Ruo, are you sure you can't ask?"

Shen Lanze lowered his eyes, and just when Lu Nanzhi thought he would agree, he saw him lift his foot and leave.

"It's not up to us outsiders to take care of Ruofu's affairs."

"You..." Lu Nanzhi suddenly ended angrily.

"Okay, you don't care, I care."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards Shuntian Mansion angrily.

Shen Lanze stopped, looked helplessly at the person who turned and left, and followed with a sigh.

If Chaofeng keeps wandering, things will be more troublesome this time, and it may not be so easy to get out after entering Shuntian Mansion.

Just when he was restless, a crisp voice sounded.

"Uncle Ruo? Why are you here? What happened?" Lu Nanzhi stopped in front of him.

Ruo Chaofeng saw that it was Lu Nanzhi who was a little surprised, and saw the people following her react, "It's okay, just a normal question."

Lu Nanzhi nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Uncle Ruo, if you encounter any difficulties, just ask, as long as we can help, we will try our best to help you."

Ruo Chaofeng was about to speak, but Shen Lanze said firmly, "It must be something happened to Miss Ruo."

Ruo Chaofeng nodded helplessly, and briefly explained the matter.

After hearing this, the two became serious. Although they had guessed that the matter might be related to Ji Shengquan's death, they didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Inside the Shuntian Mansion, Ruo Shiyu stepped forward and saluted, "The daughter of the people pays homage to Lord Fu Yin."

Zhou Fu Yin looked up at Ruo Shiyu for a moment and asked slowly: "I invite Miss Ruo to come here today, there is no malice, just a normal inquiry."

"Yes, if you have any questions, just ask, and the girl will answer truthfully." Ruo Shiyu smiled lightly.

"This morning, someone found Ji Gongzi's body in an alley, and a jade pendant was found on the body. I wonder if Miss Ruo can recognize this jade pendant."

Zhou Fuyin waved his hand and ordered the servants to bring the jade pendant to Ruo Shiyu for her to identify.

Ruo Shiyu saw the jade pendant in the tray, picked it up with an embroidered handkerchief, flipped through it and put it down, "This is the jade pendant worn by common girls, it was taken away by Mr. Ji yesterday."

Zhou Fu Yin narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Master Ji took your jade pendant and molested you, so you killed him by mistake, right?"

Ruo Shiyu quickly vetoed, "Your Excellency, I have never done anything harmful to the world, nor did I kill Young Master Ji. I ran away in a hurry, so I didn't take the jade pendant back."

"Is this really the case? Can anyone prove that Mr. Ji was still alive when you left?"

Zhou Fu Yin obviously didn't believe what she said, now that the evidence is solid, if she can't prove that Young Master Ji was still alive when she left, then she is the biggest suspect.

"I can't prove it, but Minnv really didn't kill anyone." Ruo Shiyu clenched her lower lip, not knowing how to prove her innocence.

Zhou Fuyin sighed, and things became more and more difficult to deal with.

Now it is very involved, and it even involves the daughter of Minister of Rites, which makes him not know what to do, so he can only imprison Ruo Shiyu first.

The yamen servant told Ruo Chaofeng who was waiting outside, Lu Nanzhi and Shen Lanze looked at each other, it seemed that the matter was more serious than they thought.

"Uncle Ruo, let's go back first." Lu Nanzhi suggested.

Ruo Chaofeng also knew that this matter had to be discussed in the long term, so he took the two of them into the carriage.

Before getting into the carriage, Lu Nanzhi's eyes suddenly fell on a woman not far away. This was the woman she was looking for yesterday.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lanze sat in the carriage and asked in a daze.

Lu Nanzhi came back to his senses, looked again, and the woman disappeared into the crowd again.

"It's okay." Lu Nanzhi shook his head, and then got into the carriage.
