Chapter 329: Breakthrough
"It's not me who asked her to apologize in front of everyone." Chu Xinyu stopped and looked at her and said, "What do you mean by saying this? Should I swallow my anger when I was wronged?"
"Of course not, just..."
Chu Jiating wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Chu Xinyu's unceremonious words: "If you hadn't pulled me out, what happened today wouldn't have happened."
Chu Jiating's face turned pale and she didn't dare to speak again.
This matter must be investigated to the end. In fact, it was caused by her. If she hadn't wanted Chu Xinyu to embarrass everyone, Miss Fu Er would not have seen what the makeup was given by Chu Xinyu.
On this side, Xu Zhilan asked the maid to greet the guests first. She went into the inner room and called "Taoxin" over, and told her to check what Xu Haoguang was doing, and asked him why those goods appeared in the capital?
Shuxiang had heard Gui Ye say about Xu Haoguang. The Marquis had ordered him to be investigated. Because she was curious, she asked a few more questions, so she knew that Xu Haoguang had secretly had a relationship with the courtesan Ling'er, who was often lingering in Juxing Pavilion. Through Ling'er, with the help of the master Yun of Juxing Pavilion, Jinbaotang in the capital sold some jewelry of unknown origin.
Because of this, the Marquis investigated him, suspecting that the jewelry he was eager to take was the property of many pirates robbed passing ship dealers in recent years. Because he had not made any noise recently and was very careful in his work, they had not yet obtained reliable evidence.
I just heard that he seemed to be leaving the capital. He originally set off a few days ago, but for some reason it was postponed again.
Moreover, the Marquis asked her to pretend to be a good person, with the purpose of knowing who Miss Fu Er interacted with, what is the relationship between these people and her, and another important task is whether the man with a black scorpion tattoo on the back of his hand had contact with Miss Fu Er.
These days, she did not find that Miss Fu Er had contact with such a man. Now Miss Fu Er asked her to find Xu Haoguang. It seems that she had any agreement with Xu Haoguang.
"No, don't ask him about this, just deal with him directly, do it cleaner, and don't leave any handles."
Since this hairpin has appeared in Jinyutang, the remaining stolen goods may have flowed out of the market, so Xu Haoguang's life cannot be kept.
He was left behind to arouse the suspicion of the Fu family of her and make them believe that Fu Shaode and his wife were robbed and killed by pirates, so that Xu Haoguang could continue to play Hu Batian. But now he doesn't need to stay, otherwise Fu Guanzhang would find him, which would be troublesome.
"yes."
It seems that Xu Haoguang's existence is a threat to Miss Fu Er.
Shuxiang was about to leave, but Xu Zhilan called her again and asked, "Have you found Zhou Tong's whereabouts?"
Because she was preparing for the wedding, she almost forgot about it.
Shuxiang hurriedly said, "I found it and I'm asking someone to take him back to the capital."
“When will it arrive?”
"the day after tomorrow."
Shuxiang thought that she was going to get married the day after tomorrow, and probably she had no time to meet anyone. The Marquis said that when she asked about this, she would try to delay it.
"Precaution him."
Xu Zhilan didn't think much about it. As long as she found someone, her brother should come back in a few days. Then plan with him again. Their current situation is too passive.
When I remembered my brother, I realized that he had not sent her news for three days. Last time he gave himself a message saying that he failed to assassinate the prince. The King of Qin blocked a sword for the prince. The King of Qin was seriously injured, but the prince was safe and sound.
She had promised Xiao Jingsheng that the prince could not be allowed to return to Beijing, but the premise was that Xiao Jingsheng and her settled the plague and refugees in the capital. However, she miscalculated the matter and was settled by Chu Xinyu, Princess Zhaoyang and others. Xiao Jingsheng was also blaming her for this. If it weren't for her daughter of the Fu family, she still had value in using it, she was afraid that even the marriage would change.
But why did the King of Qin ruin her again? She had asked Luo Yunqing to go to Hongzhou to delay him. How did Luo Yunqing do things? He actually failed again.
My mistakes again and again seem to be related to the disappearance of Fu Yinghua's ashes.
At the same time, Fu Yingwu, who was asked for excuses to be sent away by Xu Zhilan, walked to the garden with the maid carrying a flower basket, and saw Fu Shaolei and Fu Guanzhang coming from the other end. She quickly walked up to say hello: "Fifth Brother, Father."
Fu Shaolei smiled and said, "Didn't you go to your second sister to help?"
"My second sister asked me to come here to pick some flowers for her to make fragrances and give them to others."
"I asked you to pick flowers. Did something happen?" Fu Guanzhang frowned. Those who were about to get married did not have time to make fragrances. Could it be that they were trying to find excuses to send her away?
"Yes, how do you know?" Fu Yingwu looked surprised.
"What happened?" Fu Guanzhang asked.
"This..." Fu Yingwu bit her lower lip and hesitated whether to say it. The second sister only told her not to tell her about this to her grandmother and mother, but she did not tell her that she could not tell her father and fifth brother.
Then he said: "Justice Yu came to add makeup to the second sister. She gave a red jade phoenix-tail hairpin. Miss Huang San said that Sister Yu was giving a second-hand product. Then Sister Yu was very angry and said she wanted to go to the Jinyutang people to argue. But I saw that the hairpin was very similar to the hairpin my father gave to my mother, but the second sister said I had read it wrong, and then asked me to come out and pick flowers for her."
"Is it the sapphire phoenix-tail hairpin that my aunt wears during festivals?"
Fu Yingwu nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, that's the kind, and second aunt has it too."
"Guan Zhang, why would you ask this? Do you doubt it..." Fu Shaolei knew that this nephew had been chasing the murderer who killed his father, and because of this, he was almost burned to death the day before yesterday in the fire.
Fu Guanzhang nodded, "That's right, the murderer who killed my parents is in Jinjing."
"What?" Fu Shaolei was shocked, "Hu Batian was actually in Jinjing?"
Fu Guanzhang said: "Uncle, this is what I am about to tell you."
Since that night, he almost died in a fire, he decided to tell his uncle what he found. Moreover, Lin Chenyao also felt that the time was ripe, otherwise, the family would be in chaos after the matter was exposed.
"Xiao Wu, continue to pick flowers. I have something to talk about with your father." Fu Guanzhang told her: "But remember, if you encounter our affairs today, don't tell your second sister."
Fu Yingwu nodded.
Fu Guanzhang and Fu Shaolei left the garden and walked towards the study in the outer courtyard.
However, just as they left, a voice rang behind Fu Yingwu: "Xiao Wu."
Fu Yingwu was startled by the sound, covered her chest with both hands, turned around and looked at the other party with a coquettish look, and said, "Fourth Brother, why didn't you walk at all? I'm scared to death!"
Fu Guanyu ignored her grievances and took possession and leaned over and asked, "What's the matter? Let my fifth brother remind you not to tell your second sister?"
He saw the three of them talking from afar. When he approached, he had only had time to hear Fu Guanzhang tell Fu Yingwu what he said, and then they walked away with a serious expression. Originally, he could have followed up and asked, but thought that Fu Guanzhang seemed to be on guard against him recently. No matter how he cliched, he would not reveal any matters about the Third Uncle case to him.
