2699 A pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
When Lord Xu brought in the travel-worn Lu Zheng, Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu still had their eyes closed. Fatty Wang, on the other hand, lifted his head and stood up immediately when he saw Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng took a few steps forward and patted his shoulder before he could walk out.”My condolences!”
Fatty Wang nodded his head and didn’t say anything.
Gu Xin opened her eyes when she heard Lu Zheng’s voice. It was indeed Lu Zheng. She thought she was dreaming!
“Brother Yuan Yuan, why are you here?” she asked as she stood up. What time is it now?”
Lu Zheng brushed her hair behind her ear and said with a pained heart, ” “It’s yin time. I heard the news from Bai Yi when I returned to the city last night. I rushed over after I went home. Are you guys hungry? I’ve brought some food, let’s eat something first!”
Lu Zheng placed his bag on the table and called for fatty Wang and Zheng Qiu, who had already woken up, to come over and eat.
Lord Xu now knew that the rumors in the capital could be believed. For example, the relationship between the Duke’s heir, general Lu, and Princess Xinxin. This couldn’t be more real and was even more enviable than the rumors.
After a busy day’s work, he rushed to another place without stopping, not forgetting to bring delicious food.
There were only a few men in the great Zhou who could do this!
Fatty Wang still didn’t have much of an appetite. Everyone was trying to persuade him, but he barely managed to eat a few pieces of pastry.
Gu Xin was still thinking that this child would probably lose a lot of weight in the next month even without going to the Gu family to sweat!
He couldn’t eat his favorite meat, and his mental state would be affected.
Gu Xin lost her appetite at the thought of this.
Sometimes, she couldn’t understand why the heavens were so cruel. It took a process for people to accept birth, old age, illness, and death. Why didn’t the heavens consider whether the person could bear it if they were thrown out all at once?
Did they really have to use such a cruel method to test someone?
She couldn’t understand and didn’t want to think about it.
……
After distributing the things that Lu Zheng had brought over, Dongxue had also finished preparing breakfast.
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu ate quite a lot. Both of them were exhausted and they would be very busy later.
Lu Zheng ate a simple meal and closed his eyes to rest for a while. He was not asleep and was listening to the conversation between Gu Xin and the monk.
The monks in the temple did not seem suspicious at the moment, but yesterday, the maidservant of the Wang family had come into contact with a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from a village at the foot of the mountain who had come to offer incense. As for what they had said, the monks had no idea.
Lu Zheng suspected that one of them might be the woman who had an old relationship with Lord Wang.
However, he had also heard the general details of the case. If it was really that woman, how did she carry Madam Wang up to the rope?
According to Zheng Qiu, Mrs. Wang was only hung on a rope after her death. From her room, there was no sign of pulling on the rope. Instead, the rope was secured first before Mrs. Wang was put on.
This was not something an ordinary girl could do. Of course, girls who knew Kung Fu like Gu Xin and her sisters could do it.
Of course, there was also the fact that there were accomplices in this case.
If he entered the temple at night and killed all 15 people without causing a big commotion, there was a high possibility that there was an accomplice.
