Zheng Yunni and the Second Highness made a marriage for their baby. As soon as they were born, their birth dates were sent to the capital. Huo Weilou ordered the embroidered clothes envoy to go and ask. After a moment, the embroidered clothes envoy returned and said, "Mr. Marquis, Miss Zheng's birthday is on the seventh day of the second month of the 15th year of Jianhe."

He Cheng held a piece of paper in his hand, which was filled with the Yin year and Yin time calculated by Taoist Priest Bu. After comparing, he frowned and shook his head, "It's not the seventh day of the second month, but the most recent... it's also halfway through Yin time on the fifth day of the second month."

"What if Anqing Hou Mansion reports his fake birthday?" Huo Weilou said with a glance.

He Cheng's expression changed slightly, "This... this is the crime of deceiving the king, and it is a bad and unlucky time in the Yin year. The eldest lady was valued by the imperial concubine and was willing to make a marriage for her, but because the eldest lady was the auspicious star of the Second Prince..."

The more He Cheng said, the more frightened he became, "No wonder the masters in the mansion always concealed something. They were afraid of involving this matter, so they kept silent. The murderer also used the four sentences on paper to make them fall into the trap!"

If it was just a dispute over title, it would be normal, but now that the marriage between Zheng Yunni and the Second Highness was suddenly involved, He Cheng became more and more panicked and couldn't help but look at Huo Weilou, wondering how Huo Weilou would do it.

The face of the Majesty Fu was also a little ugly. "The Marquis' Mansion of Anqing wanted to keep this marriage. It was very likely that the birthday was reported on the holiday that year. The concubine valued these things very much. The Marquis, should she send a letter back to the capital to ask what the palace means? It will be a big wedding in March, or will the emperor personally give the marriage..."

The emperor gave the marriage and it was also related to the second prince who was most favored. No matter who was the one who was the one who should have been slowed down, if the person who should not have been investigated, the Anqing Marquis's Mansion lost his face and the royal family was criticized, it would be a disaster.

Huo Weilou scrubbed the black jade ring on his finger, "No need."

Eunuch Fu wanted to speak but stopped, Huo Wei said, "This is a murder case, and the three lives are not a minor matter. Although it is speculated that Zheng Yunni's birthday is fake, there is no evidence. It is still unknown whether she has anything to do with the murder case. What is the matter in the capital at this time?"

Eunuch Fu said with a pouting voice: "Your Majesty loves the Second Prince, you know that your Highness is favored by you now, but you can tell me whether it is safer to say this in advance..."

Eunuch Fu's words were meaningful, and Huo Weilou smiled lightly, "The murderer found out and sent a memorial to Beijing. If the Anqing Marquis' Mansion really concealed many shameful things, Zhao Xi's marriage would not be successful."

Zhao Xi was the name of the second prince. Huo Weilou called him casually without any hesitation. He Cheng was trembling with courage, but he began to be extremely grateful to Huo Weilou for coming to supervise the case in person. If there was no Huo Weilou, he would only rely on himself. Not to mention that Zheng Wenyan and others were hindering him, even if he found out about this, he would not dare to gamble on the black sha to continue to investigate.

"But the emperor has given marriage..."

Eunuch Fu muttered again, as if he was worried about Huo Weilou. However, seeing Huo Weilou's unquestionable expression, He Cheng said, "Well, should you call Miss Zheng and Master Zheng Wu to ask about this matter now?"

Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes were narrow, "You all said that it was a crime of deceiving the king. If there was no ironclad evidence, how could they admit it?"

Three people have died since the incident. Even though they knew that the next person who might be killed was himself, Zheng Wen'an never let go. He was not afraid of death. He just asked questions regularly. How could he ask?

"How was the ancestral hall cleaned up?"

He Cheng hurriedly said: "It's very slow, it's not stopped day and night, and only half of the debris were cleaned up."

Huo Weilou had a deep look in his eyes, "Madam Yu knew about the incident and chose to burn the ancestral hall, so there must be evidence in the ancestral hall."

He Cheng sighed: "The ancestral hall is the most important thing in the clan. What evidence is left to be burned even if the ancestral hall is burned? There are tablets enshrined in the marquis' ancestors."

He Cheng's question was also a suspicion among others. Huo Weilou stood up and "Go to the ancestral hall to take a look."

Huo Weilou strode out, but Bo Ruoyou didn't move. Her eyes were heavy and her face looked thoughtful.

The murderer took the bait with a note of gold paper, and the words "Yin Year and Yin Time" were written on it, which shows that the murderer knew what happened that year. However, all the servants of the Marquis' Mansion had changed. According to the intention of the Marquis' Mansion, most of those who knew the inside story would not let those who knew the inside story live in the world. Could it be that someone was implicated in the past and is now back to take revenge?

What about Zheng Yunni's accident at the age of five or six? If the murderer had started to attack at that time, why was there no movement in the past ten years? But if it was not the murderer's actions, what happened on the night Zheng Yunni disappeared?

Does the eldest lady have a young daughter?

There were too many questions, but Bo Ruoyou couldn't figure it out anyway. After raising his eyes, he saw Huo Weilou had already taken He Cheng away from the yard. As soon as he left, Bo Ruoyou relaxed and sighed softly.

Huo Weilou Guo disdained to repay kindness, but even if he disdained it, her heart was true. Bo Ruoyou sighed again and went out to look for the outsider.

Chuntao came out with her this morning, and was also questioned by the yamen outside the yard. Seeing her coming out, she immediately came up, "Where are the girl going?"

"Go to the mourning hall to have a look--"

There was a corpse parked in the mourning hall. She had not arrived yesterday and was in a state of confusion at this moment, so she wanted to check the corpse, or could think of what she ignored. Chuntao didn't expect that she was going to the mourning hall, and she showed a hint of fear on her face, but she still followed.

The two of them walked along the way and saw that the warm sun was in the sky, and the thick snow that had accumulated for many days was also melting. Snow water dripped from the eaves. Not long after they walked, Bo Ruoyou suddenly saw a few maids hurried to the east, as if something had happened.

Chuntao saw this and said, "Girls, they are maids by the eldest lady."

Bo Ruoyou raised his eyebrows and followed Chuntao. After a while, Bo Ruoyou saw several maids pulling the eldest lady back. One of them advised: "Madam, don't worry, Sha Gu is not in Meilin. She is waiting for you in the yard. We will see Sha Gu when we go back..."

The eldest lady smiled foolishly, but she couldn't help looking back at Meilin's direction. At this time, the maids saw Bo Ruoyou. One of them asked the others to take the eldest lady away first, and she came forward to be blessed.

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the eldest lady?"

The maid knew that Bo Ruoyou was following Wu Zhaohou, so she didn't dare to be disrespectful, so she said, "The weather is good today. I took the eldest lady out to walk around. The eldest lady was clamoring to see Sha Gu. After waiting for a moment, she ran to Meilin."

"If you want to see Sha Gu, go to Meilin?"

The maid smiled bitterly, "Mrs. She asked Sha Gu to help her pick the plums every time. Maybe this is the case, so she thought Sha Gu lived in Meilin."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little strange in his heart, plum forest, bamboo forest, lotus pond...

Seeing that she stopped asking, the maid resigned, and Bo Ruoyou looked at Meilin's direction and couldn't help but move.

Chuntao saw this and asked, "Does the girl go to pick plums too?"

Bo Ruoyou shook her head, "Look at it casually. I met Sha Gu last night, and Sha Gu was going to Meilin to get plum blossoms. It was so late, and she didn't feel afraid."

Chuntao lowered his voice and said, "Miss, I don't know, the stupid girl is also very evil."

Bo Ruoyou looked back at Chuntao. Chuntao approached a minute and whispered: "I often run around the mansion at night, and my temperament is sometimes good and sometimes bad. I look at it as timid as a mouse, and sometimes I get ruthless. Some people say that she deliberately pretends to be pitiful and is loved by the eldest lady."

"She still has time to get angry?"

Chuntao nodded, sighing a little, "On weekdays, Sha Gu always shrank his head and was afraid of people, but she also has a temper. Some older servants in the house don't treat her favor because she gets the eldest wife's pity. Not only that, they also bully her privately because the eldest wife takes care of her. Sometimes Sha Gu accepts it, and sometimes she loses her temper. Once, she almost hurts people. Although I didn't see it, I heard that the manager failed to go to the ground for several days..."

Bo Ruoyou's eyebrows pounded, "Did you hurt someone?"

Chuntao nodded, "It was probably a year ago that she pushed down a manager and beat the manager with a broom. Somehow, she actually injured the manager. The manager called someone, but she ran away. When she was found, she looked innocent and pretended to be pitiful. In the end, because of the eldest lady, she did not punish her."

Bo Ruoyou thought of the day when she first met Sha Gu, although she had made a mistake and was scolded by the manager, when she looked up at her, there was no fear in her eyes. Not only that, she nodded to her calmly...

Bo Ruoyou felt very strange, but at this time, Chuntao pulled her, "Girl, you can't walk this path anymore, let's go around the east."

Going to the plum forest, there is a path between a flower garden, but today the snow has melted most of the time. The road is quite muddy. Bo Ruoyou nodded and followed Chuntao to the east. Not long after, a lotus pond not far from the bamboo forest came into view.

The embroidered clothes eve said that the east of the bamboo forest is the lotus pond and the west of the plum forest...

Bo Ruoyou subconsciously walked towards the lotus pond. The lotus pond was not small, but it had dried up. There was a layer of ice and snow above the silt. Because the snow melted today, occasionally there were pools of water at the place where the ice was broken.

When Chuntao saw her looking at the lotus pond, she said, "It turns out that this is an inner lake. When the prince of the previous dynasty was there, he brought Huanhua Creek water to the mansion. There were several inner lakes in the mansion. However, later Huanhua Creek dried up and the inner lake in the mansion was also dried. After the ancestor of Zheng bought the house, he filled most of the house, leaving only a few lotus ponds. This is one of them. Because it was too remote and unmanaged, he had worked for many years."

This mansion is not small, and Bo Ruoyou already knew it, so he was not surprised when he heard it. She followed the bluestone road beside the lotus pond toward the direction of the plum forest. But as she walked, her eyes suddenly swept away and saw that there was something strange in the lotus pond.

A small area of ​​water is gathering at the edge of the lotus pond. It is very shallow because it is made of snow water. But at this time, the shimmering water surface floats faintly, and there seems to be undercurrents below it, but there seems to be something calm at the bottom of the water.

Bo Ruoyou went up and walked down the gentle slope of the roadside for a few steps. She got closer and saw clearly what was under the water at a glance.

The petals are yellow and white, and many yellow fragrant plums are sinking into the water.
