Chapter 18 Now
"Zi Shi?" Jade Governor paced back and forth, turned around with his hands behind his back and asked Niu Erji angrily, "Zi Shi, where are you?"

Niu Erji's eyes trembled with fear, "Old, Master, the little one just did it all. Zi, Zishi? He should have fallen asleep when he came back."

"Your mother-in-law is not by your side and you don't know anything about yourself? What are you doing to me? How unreasonable!"

Lu Qian stopped the furious Jade Governor, looked at Niu Erji and asked, "Have you and your wife ever offended any enemies?"

"No, Xiaomin has never caused trouble for no reason since he entered the house. My mother-in-law is also an honest person. She helps in the kitchen every day, and other than that, she doesn't leave the house often."

Jade Governor slapped the table, "Master Lu, I want you to think carefully about what you are talking about! Think about it, do you have any enemies in the house?"

"Master Jade, don't be anxious." Lu Qian was interrupted by his sudden surprises, her expression was quite helpless.

"Master Lu, how can I not be anxious? You said this murderer killed two people in two days. He just killed people on the street before, but now he has caused trouble in my house!"

Master Yu sighed, "Hey, there are so many female relatives in my house, and I don't know if this murderer is still hiding somewhere in the house! It's really worrying."

Mu Feng chuckled and said, "This murderer can come and go freely in your governor's house. He killed people in the kitchen and backyard and then jumped out of the window and left without disturbing anyone. I think he is probably a master of martial arts. Right, brother?"

Mu Zhao pondered for a while and nodded slightly, "Master Yu, if you are worried, please send some Yamen guards to take care of you. The big kitchen will not be used for now. I will send people to seal it up temporarily. Maybe I will invite some more in the future. Let's go over and check it out again."

"Yes, yes, the prince said it." It was unlucky for someone to die in the large kitchen, and it could not be used anymore. It was appropriate for Prince Mu to get people to seal the place, and Yu Shoudao had no objection.

"Master, Miss Linlang is here with her girl."

Several people looked up and saw Yu Linlang leading the little girl Shi Shiran in, slowly lowering her eyes and bowing.

This girl may be a bit cold, but her whole body and temperament are perfect.

The Jade Governor praised slightly in his heart, and raised his eyes with a kind smile, "Linlang, how was everything after you got home yesterday? My father has been busy these past two days, so I didn't have time to ask you in detail..."

"The Governor invites us here just for casual greetings?" Yu Linlang directly interrupted his hypocritical greeting and said lightly, "If you have anything urgent to say, please tell me quickly. I am busy with other things."

Jade Governor choked for a moment, turned around and peeked at Mu Zhao and the others, and said sarcastically, "Master Lu has something to ask the girl next to you."

"Everyone in the kitchen said that you, the personal girl, kicked open the kitchen door and got in first."

"So what?" Yu Linlang was completely unmoved, "There were more than ten people present at the time. They entered the big kitchen front and back, and Aunt Hu was right behind Jiu Jin. Could it be that the governor thought that the first one to kick in the door was The one who entered was the murderer?"

Jade Governor looked awkwardly at the young men present and said hurriedly, "Of course, being a father doesn't mean that, but..."

"Master Yu, let me ask the lower officials." Seeing him wandering around, Lu Qian had no choice but to answer.

Mu Shizi was a little dizzy at being turned around by this man, and couldn't help but said, "Prince Jade, please sit down and leave the questioning to Mr. Lu."

Lu Qian looked at Yu Linlang who frowned and said nothing, "Miss Yu, please sit down."

"No need. If you have anything to ask, sir, please ask quickly. The daughter of the people will be busy later."

Master Jade couldn't help but jump up, "What are you busy with? Just sit down if I ask you to, and answer the question well. What are you busy with?"

"The Governor really wants me to say this here in front of others?"

Yu Shoudao's heart skipped a beat. Yu Lin's dazzling eyes shot sharply at Yu Shoudao, and her voice became colder and colder, "A civilian girl has to go out to buy some daily necessities, ranging from bowls, tea sets, clothes, shoes and socks, to beds, screens, wardrobes and shelves, civilian girls We have to go out and buy everything. Otherwise? Do we expect your huge governor's office?"

She spoke with a mocking look on her face and was extremely sarcastic.

Yu Shoudao's cold sweat came down from his face again. He smacked his lips and was suddenly silenced by his daughter.

The tea lid in Mufeng's hand almost fell to the ground. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Yu Linlang, who had a calm face, and then looked at the little girl with red eyes standing behind her.

"Uh..." Lu Qian coughed lightly and was about to smooth things over when she heard Mu Shizi say calmly, "Master Yu, do you still need the girl to arrange and purchase the utensils for your house? That's all, why do you still need to order the daughter of a daughter?" Paying for it out of your own pocket? This is not the fashion in our mansion in Beijing, even if it is a shabby settlement, there is no need for this."

Yu Shoudao's old face flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Uh, no, of course not. Linlang, uh, maybe your mother is busy, so she is being slighted. Don't be angry with her, ah, as a father, Immediately ask the accountant to pay you five hundred taels of silver. Later, you can buy whatever you like."

Yu Linlang slowly raised her eyes, with a rare look on her face, "Don't look back, go get it now, so that the Crown Prince and Mr. Lu can be witnesses."

Mu Feng almost laughed out loud, and turned to look at his elder brother, who was also a bit confused about whether to laugh or cry.

This girl is really the governor's biological child!

Jade Governor had mixed feelings in his heart. In front of the prince and others, he didn't want to lose face again, so he quickly asked his servant to go to the accounting room and pay all five silver notes to Yu Linlang.

Yu Linlang then sat down expressionlessly and told Jiujin, "Remember carefully what you saw when you kicked in the door and tell Mr. Lu everything in detail."

Jiu Jin had already mentioned this matter three times to the guards who came to ask questions, and he was almost familiar with it.

But this time she thought about it carefully and said, "When I kicked in the door, I felt her eyes staring in the direction of the beam. Now that I think about it, there is something hidden in that beam, right?"

Lu Qian's eyes brightened slightly, and she hurriedly called people over to search again.

I had previously searched every corner of the large kitchen and found nothing. I just hoped that I could get a clue this time.

The searchers soon returned and found something.

The thing was hidden in a half-cracked gap in the beam, and it took the guard a long time to find it.

When Yu Linlang left with Jiujin, she saw the attendant dragging Niu Erji in for questioning.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Niu Erji looked at the handmade wooden horse in front of him with a confused face, "Sir, this is not for a villain!"

There was no snow today, but there was still a dampness in the air.

Yu Linlang turned around and took a few steps closer, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears of the little girl with red eyes, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

"I'm not worth it, Miss."

"What's the point? They're just insignificant people."
