Dugufan grabbed her and subconsciously stepped back to prevent her from falling off the wall.

The pull on his arm made Lu Zhaozhao suddenly realize where he was at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel scared.

If it weren't for his quick eyesight and quick hands, she would have fallen to her knees at this moment!
"Someone is coming! Let's go!" Hearing the footsteps coming from far away, Dugu Fan put one hand around her slim waist and led her to jump off the wall.

Until his feet landed on the ground, Lu Zhaozhao still felt a bit unreal.

It is really……

The look in Liu Xian'er's eyes just now was too terrifying!

It doesn't look like a weak woman at all!

"It's getting late, let's go back!" Dugufan said, interrupting her thoughts.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded and tried his best to get rid of the terrifying eyes in his mind.

Maybe……

The look in her eyes was just the anger of a mother unable to protect her child!

-

The next day.

Lu Zhaozhao got up early.

Because he had a busy schedule, he did not sleep or eat in the open during this trip, so even though he only slept for more than three hours, Lu Zhaozhao was still in high spirits.

Listening to the faint sound outside the window, Lu Zhaozhao opened the door and walked downstairs.

When I walked out of the inn, I saw that the streets that were deserted last night had now become bustling with people.

The vendors who got up early have set up their stalls and are ready to start their day's business.

Smelling the aroma of all kinds of food on the street, Lu Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little hungry.

He glanced around and walked into a nearby bun shop.

Many people were already sitting in the bun shop.

Lu Zhaozhao randomly picked a seat and sat down, ordering five steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.

Soon...

The lady boss put the steamed buns and porridge in front of her: "The girl looks very strange. Is this your first time here?"

Lu Zhaozhao nodded.

"We have free appetizers at home, would you like to try them, girl?" the landlady asked enthusiastically.

"Okay! Thank you, boss lady!" Lu Zhaozhao said sweetly.

"Girl, you're welcome!" The landlady's eyebrows were crooked, and she quickly brought her a small portion of spicy and sour dried radish: "Girl, taste it first. If it's not enough, go get it from the front!"

"Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao agreed.

The landlady didn't stay much longer and immediately went to greet other customers.

Lu Zhaozhao picked up the white bun and took a bite when he saw three men walking in from the door. They were talking about something as they walked, and their expressions were all very sad.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't think too much and continued to chew the bun in his hand.

"Who would have thought of this! Such a good person will be gone if he says no!"

"Yes! You are young and have a fortune, but what's the use? I will never enjoy it again!"

"He just closed his eyes and passed away, leaving behind a beautiful wife, a newborn child, an orphan and a widowed mother. I wonder if he can keep this huge fortune in the future?"

The three of them talked in low voices while sitting down on the table behind Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao paused slightly while chewing the buns, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Huge wealth, a beautiful wife, a newborn child...

Every keyword made her think more! "Brothers! Who do you think is dead?" Lu Zhaozhao turned around and asked in a low voice.

The three men glanced at her, but didn't hide anything.

"That's Mr. Li who married Liu Xian'er, the number one courtesan of Yibao House!" One of them said: "Early this morning, he was found dead in his room by the maid in the mansion!"

The suspicion in his heart was confirmed, and Lu Zhaozhao didn't know what to say for a while.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Li is not very old. He just gave birth to a son two days ago. He should have been very happy, but it is said that the child was extremely ugly. Mr. Li was so angry that he wanted to drown the child on the spot. Although he was killed by Liu Xian in the end, My son stopped me, but there was no joy at all in the mansion, and now that such a commotion is happening, I'm afraid everyone in the Li mansion is in panic right now, right?"

"I heard that Yuan Li was killed by his newborn son!"

"The child is already extremely ugly. If he tries to defeat his parents again, he will really have no chance of survival!"

Listening to the three of them talking in low voices, Lu Zhaozhao would not be so naive as to think that a newborn child could really kill his father!

"Hey! But then again, Yuan Li left early, leaving Liu Xian'er, a beautiful daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower, who will be benefited from in the future?"

"No matter who is being advantaged, it won't be easier for you and me!"

"It's quite self-aware!"

"How can you not be self-aware? In the future, if you have money and beauty, what kind of man do you want to find to hide your beauty in a golden house? You will definitely not find a guy with weak legs like us!"

"Yes!"

……

The three men sighed again with envy.

Lu Zhaozhao took back his body, drank three times, five divided by two, drank porridge, and after eating two steamed buns, he put down the copper plate and packed up the remaining steamed buns.

Back at the inn, I happened to meet Dugu Fan coming down from upstairs.

"Where did you go early in the morning?" Dugufan asked.

"Go out for a walk and have breakfast by the way!" As he spoke, Lu Zhaozhao handed the bun in his hand to him: "Want to eat it? It tastes pretty good!"

Dugufan took the bun from her and said, "Go upstairs and tidy up first, and we'll set off after breakfast!"

"...Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao responded slightly hesitantly.

Dugufan's eyes fell on her: "What's wrong?"

After hearing his inquiry, Lu Zhaozhao hurriedly told him the gossip he had just heard.

"You doubt the real cause of Yuan Li's death!"

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded: "How could a person who was still alive and kicking last night die just because he wanted to? There must be something fishy in it!"

"Do you suspect that Liu Xian'er did it?" Dugu Fan heard.

Lu Zhaozhao said nothing.

But when she suddenly heard the news of Li Yuanwai's death, her mind couldn't help but think of Liu Xian'er's look last night!

Like a beast, cruel, crazy and terrifying eyes!
If it was said that Yuan Li's death had nothing to do with her, she wouldn't believe it anyway!

"Can anyone report Li's death to the official?" Dugufan asked.

"On the way back, I heard other people talking about it, saying that Li's aunt had reported herself to the imperial court. She didn't believe that her master would die suddenly for no reason!" Lu Zhaozhao said truthfully.

Dugufan nodded: "Let's go!"

"Ah?" Lu Zhaozhao was stunned. The next moment, he suddenly realized what he meant by his words. He immediately stepped forward to keep up with him: "You want to take me to see it?"

"If there is no one to report to the Li Mansion, it is not easy for me to go there rashly, but if there is someone to report to the official, I can go and have a look!" Dugu Fan said in a deep voice.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, he immediately nodded as if pounding garlic.
