The second wife's previous words were clearly accusing Zheng Wenyan of slandering Zheng Wenchen, which was even more harmful. However, when Huo Weilou asked this, the second wife looked obviously panicked. She even lowered her head and hit Zheng Xiao, "Xiao'er! What are you talking nonsense!"

"The third brother just had the intention to compete for the title, and there was no inauspicious statement."

The second lady lowered her eyes, her eyes dodged, her tone was a little scared, Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes were slightly narrow, "Zheng Wenchen was murdered to death. If you hide something, it might make the murderer hide very deeply. Have you thought about it?"

The second wife frowned and nodded, "Everything that the civilian woman said is true, and she dare not hide it from the Marquis."

Huo Weilou stared at the second wife for a moment, and turned his eyes to signal Eunuch Fu to continue.

Eunuch Fu said, "On the night when the Second Master died, why didn't you go to the old lady's mourning hall together?"

Thinking of that night, the second wife felt sad again, "That night, we were going to leave together, but my husband thought it was too early and we were embarrassed. After my mother died, the third brother suspected that my mother's death was related to my husband. For a moment, it was said that the husband killed his mother. Even the servants saw that his husband looked different, but the husband got angry about it, but he did not improve at all. A few days later, he hid in the room every day and did not go out. On that night, he thought about going to the mourning hall in the end."

"My husband doesn't want to go early, but the civilian woman doesn't want to lose her manners. Our second wife is already in a difficult situation. The civilian woman is not for herself, but also for Xiao'er, so she took Xiao'er first, and then..."

The second wife wiped the corner of her eyes, "That means that the husband went to Yaoyue Pavilion. The civilian woman took Xiao'er and followed the servants to arrive first. When she arrived, she saw her husband standing on the fence on the third floor. The civilian woman was about to be confused and saw the person behind him..."

The second wife felt fear in her eyes, "I didn't have time to think about who it was, so she watched her husband fall from the upstairs, just like that... and died in front of the civilian women and Xiao'er."

Tears poured down, and the second wife couldn't help but choke up again. In front of Huo Weilou and everyone, she cried very depressedly, but the more this happened, the more heartbreaking it made. Zheng Xiao buried her face behind the second wife and sobbed quietly.

"If... if the third brother hadn't suspected his husband, he wouldn't have been suspicious of everyone. That night wouldn't have been delayed until later, and he wouldn't have died..." The second lady closed her eyes deeply, and her trembling crying voice was full of grief and grievance, but she rarely resented, as if her slender body was about to run out of oil and she had no strength to revive her hatred.

Huo Weilou asked: "Do you know why he wanted to go to Yaoyue Pavilion?"

The second wife shook her head while wiping her tears, "The civilian woman didn't know that Yaoyue Pavilion is a place to enjoy the scenery. When my elder brother was there, she was often there. After my elder brother went there, only my mother occasionally called everyone to enjoy the scenery when there was a good scenery."

This was strange. On the first seven night of my mother, she knew that the ritual was about to begin, but she went to the remote Yaoyue Pavilion alone.

There was no one to go to Yaoyue Pavilion for a long time, and it was covered with dust. It was never too late to go there for a drink and enjoy the scenery. The only possibility was that someone invited him or tempted him to go. However, Zheng Wenchen had a bad temper and was also noble in the mansion. How could he let him go?

"All and bottom of the house, do you have any doubts?"

After Huo Weilou asked, the second wife shrank her shoulders and her back, which was the fear written on her face. "The civilian woman... the civilian woman doesn't know. If anyone has a grudge with her husband, it's impossible to talk about it. The only possibility is a title..."

The second wife used a lot of effort to finish this sentence, and she did not dare to clearly prove Zheng Wenyan.

"On the first seventh night, when did Zheng Wenyan arrive at the mourning hall? Did he leave the middle of the way? When did Zheng Wenchen appear when something happened?"

As she asked this, the second lady quickly raised her head. She thought hard for a moment, her eyes lit up, "He came after the third brother and sister. They had never come together. Later, when his husband had not arrived for a long time, he ordered people to find his husband, and he also left. At that time, he was in charge of the family, and there was a lot of errands, so there was no need to explain to everyone where he went. The civilian woman didn't know where he went. Later, when the servant came to report that his husband had gone to Yaoyue Pavilion, the civilian woman hurried over there, not paying attention to when he arrived. It was just that he felt that he should have come at the end..."

These words match Zheng Yunni's words. Huo Weilou stared at him, "When did Zheng Wenyan force you to have a letter?"

The second wife only felt a hint of resentment in her eyes, "On the third day after her husband's death, my husband had Xiao'er. If my mother really wrote the memorial, as long as it was written by her mother and stamped the seal, the civilian woman could send it to the capital. At that time, the title would fall on Xiao'er. He came to force her for this reason. He... even sent someone to search our yard, but if we really had a memorial, how could we not send it to the capital and keep it? He hadn't found anything. I was his second sister-in-law. There were so many people in the mansion that he had to return without success."

There is nothing else to ask here, and Eunuch Fu said, "I'll both the second wife and the third wife come in."

"Call Zheng Wen'an in."

Huo Weilou opened his mouth but changed the order of the questioning. Eunuch Fu was stunned and then suddenly realized.

The fifth master Zheng Wen'an looked gentle and respectfully as he entered the door, looking very abide by the rules.

If Eunuch Fu asked before, Zheng Wen'an lived with his wife on the night of the old lady's death, and all seven or eight servants in the courtyard could testify. On the night of the old lady's death, the couple arrived the earliest, and later went to Yingyue Pavilion with everyone to find Zheng Wenchen. In this way, the two of them could be excluded.

Eunuch Fu asked again: "Does the fifth master suspect that the second master has harmed the old lady?"

Zheng Wen'anluo hesitated and said, "I don't doubt it."

Eunuch Fu raised his eyebrows, "I hope to hear the details."

Zheng Wen'an said, "It was not easy for my mother to give birth to her second brother, so she has been very fond of her since she was a child. This is why she raised her second brother a little bit erratic. When the eldest brother was there, she was better. Someone could suppress him. After the eldest brother went there, the second brother was a little uncontrollable. However, although the second brother was irritable, he was a cowardly person and he dared not kill anyone."

"Is there any saying in your house that Zheng Wenyan is an unlucky person?"

When Huo Weilou suddenly asked this, Zheng Wen'an raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down, "How did the Marquis ask this? How do you say this?"

He seemed to be completely unaware of it. Eunuch Fu looked at him for a while, then looked at Huo Weilou again. Seeing that Huo Weilou was calm, he said, "Fifth Master, go, please invite the fifth lady in--"

Zheng Wen'an bowed and quit, and Eunuch Fu whispered, "Didn't Master Zheng Erbian attack his wife?"

Huo Weilou said indifferently: "Only a cowardly and incompetent man will attack his wife."

The fifth wife, Mrs. Liu, came in quickly, and said that she was exactly the same as Zheng Wen'an. She quickly finished her question. Eunuch Fu said justice, "Please invite the third master in."

When Zheng Wenyan entered the door, his expression was a little bad. Huo Weilou asked, "Why is the key to the medicine warehouse missing?"

Zheng Wenyan looked bitter, "Report to the Marquis, there is a house for housework in the mansion. The keys of the keys are carried with you. The other keys of the warehouse are placed in the small study room of the hall. This is the key of the medicine warehouse. The medicine warehouse has not been opened for many days, and I have not checked whether the keys are still there. Today, the prefect said he wanted to, so he sent someone to get it. Unexpectedly, the keys disappeared."

Huo Weilou asked directly: "Old Lady's first seventh day, you arrived the latest and then left. What did you do?"

Zheng Wenyan hurriedly said, "I came late because I had to arrange several ritual masters' living yards. Later, I left. I heard that I had not found anybody else. After I sent someone to find him, I suddenly remembered that my second brother said last time that I didn't hear anyone calling outside in the study, so I went to my second brother's study to find him. When I arrived at the place, I saw that the door was open and there was no one inside the door. As soon as I came out of his study, I heard that I had gone to Yaoyue Pavilion. I hurried there, but I didn't expect something had happened."

"Can anyone testify for you?"

Zheng Wenyan looked puzzled, "This... I came out of the study and met the forest manager of the mansion next to the flowerbed on the northwest side..."

However, the flowerbed on the northwest side is not far from Yaoyue Pavilion and Zheng Wenyan's yard. Even if this witness met him, it would not prove that he had never been to Yaoyue Pavilion in that world.

"Are you going to Zheng Wenchen's study? Should you go to Zheng Wenchen, or do you find your mother to ask for a letter to Zheng Wenchen?"

Huo Weilou's eyes were like a knife. After asking in one sentence, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zheng Wenyan's face. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Marquis's question is not clear. I really go to find my second brother."

Huo Weilou's eyes remained unchanged, and he was still intimidating. Zheng Wenyan said anxiously: "The night my mother died, I was in my own yard all night. There was someone who was witnessed. The marquis should not suspect that it was—"

But Huo Weilou stood up at this time and said, "Go to the medicine warehouse to take a look."

Zheng Wenyan wiped his sweat, and respectfully responded that Huo Weilou stepped out and walked to Bo Ruoyou's side, his eyes swept over her, "Come with me."

Bo Ruoyou responded and walked out after Eunuch Fu and He Cheng.

The group went out of the side hall and saw everyone in the flower hall with serious expressions. When they saw Zheng Wenyan sweating heavily, they walked out with Huo Weilou and his party. They wanted to keep up, but were stopped by the embroidered garment envoy.

The medicine warehouse is on the north side of the Hou Mansion. Because it is not commonly used, the entire yard seems a bit remote.

After entering the yard, Zheng Wenyan pointed to the left wing room in the yard and said, "These three rooms are medicine warehouses. Look, the lock is still locked, but the key is gone."

Huo Weilou signaled to the embroidered clothes behind him. The embroidered clothes came forward. He didn't know how to fiddle with it, and the lock opened. Zheng Wenyan entered the door first, walked to the row of medicine cabinets on the left, and saw the medicine trunk with the words "mandala" written on it and opened it, "Mandala is placed here-"

Before the word "年" was released, Zheng Wenyan's voice had stopped. Because the medicine trunk was empty, how could there be a trace of the Mandala?

"This...this is impossible..."

He quickly opened the five or six medicine trunks around him, and saw that there were ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other objects inside.

All the more rare medicinal herbs are there, but the mandala is gone.

Huo Weilou looked at Zheng Wenyan, "It seems that you need to explain it carefully."
