Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 13 Clues
As Jiang Tai walked, he winked at Gao Kuokang.

Gao Kuo helplessly transmitted his voice: "Remember, in front of Miss Jun, we are just guards of Wuji Tower."

"why?"

"Are you brain-dead? The master's identity cannot be revealed!"

Because of the sudden arrival of this Marquis Molin, the caves here were thoroughly searched, and all the murdered medicine people were rescued.

Those who have been skinned still have a chance to recover, but it's pitiful for those who have had their organs removed; even if they survive, they cannot live a normal life.

After leaving the cave, Master Lu and Li Qing returned to their residence first.

Liu Sijun went to Wuji Tower alone.

“Manager Qi, that’s how it is. I’ll only take half of the reward.”

Manager Qi disagreed and pushed all three hundred high-grade crystals in front of Liu Sijun: "Miss Jun, we at Wuji Tower value our reputation most in business. The reward was agreed upon from the beginning, how can we give less?"

"But today's events are not entirely due to my efforts."

"Miss Jun, you are mistaken."

Steward Qi said, "The task you took on is to find out what Miss Qin asked you to do, not to rescue all the drugged people."

"This, okay!"

If someone insists on giving it to you, there's no reason not to accept it.

After leaving Wuji Tower, Liu Sijun turned around and headed to the Qin family.

You mean the drug person?

Qin Suwei asked in surprise and sadness, "Is it the kind of drug-induced person I was thinking of?"

Liu Sijun couldn't bear it, but he still nodded.

Qin Suwei's tears fell in a steady stream: "Why? Why did they do this? I'm their own daughter."

Liu Sijun: "...Miss Qin, please take a look at this first."

That was a copy of the indenture she found when she searched Qin's father's study. The name wasn't Qin Suwei, but the birth date and time were exactly the same.

After looking at it, she looked up at Liu Sijun in a daze: "I'm not my parents' biological child? I... I was bought by them?"

Liu Sijun didn't know how to comfort her and was about to leave when a commotion came from the front yard.

Qin Suwei snapped out of her grief.

Judging from the uniformity of their voices, they must be officers and soldiers.

Liu Sijun never expected to see Mo Linhou again at the Qin family.

Soon, the second son of the Qin family was taken out of the room by the soldiers. The two looked panicked and kept shouting that they were innocent.

A general in full armor stepped out from behind Marquis Molin: "Injustice! We have already found out that you and your wife have been working for Daoist Liyang for twenty years. The several restaurants you opened in Laiyang County were just a front."

He looked to be around thirty years old, with dark skin and a whitish scar running from his cheekbone to his brow bone on his left cheek, likely from a battle. He wore black armor, intricately patterned but also bearing numerous scratches.

I saw him from afar at Daojun Cave in Liyang yesterday. He should be the leader of the soldiers in Laiyang County, I think his name is General Pang.

Qin's mother hurriedly denied it: "No, that's not how it is. My husband and I are honest and upright people, and that's my daughter. We're just an ordinary family. The Marquis must have misunderstood something. Weiwei, you must quickly plead with the Marquis."

If she didn't know the truth, she would have knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation in this situation.

Now they know everything they need to know, and they understand the unspoken meaning behind Qin's mother's words: she wants them to use their beauty to save them.

All the previous affection was just an illusion.

"As expected of a veteran, even in this predicament, you still have the mind to meticulously plan your escape. However, your wishful thinking is wrong. The Marquis has never tolerated any injustice; take him away!"

Qin Suwei just watched quietly.

Throughout the entire process, Mo Linhou remained silent, as if he had come specifically to maintain order.

But Qin's father and mother were of mediocre cultivation, so there was no need for the renowned Marquis Molin to come in person.

The guards tried to stop them, but Qin Suwei ordered them to step back.

The soldiers escorted the Qin family elders onto the prison cart, but Mo Linhou showed no intention of leaving immediately, his gaze fixed on Liu Sijun. "You deserve much credit for destroying the Liyang Daojun's cave. Would you be interested in attending a trial at the government office?"

"No, it's getting late, my family must be getting impatient. Goodbye!"

This was the first thing Gu Changzhou said when he came here.

Or they invited me proactively.

But the girl rejected his suggestion.

Hey.

It had been years since he had seen anyone so bold, and Pang Jing watched the spectacle with his sword in hand.

Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived, and the girl disappeared as soon as she turned around.

Pang Jing was very disappointed.

Back at Qingqiu Courtyard, Liu Sijun was still thinking about the Qin family.

They returned to the city from the cave at the same time. According to Liu Sijun's pace, he was even faster than them, and it only took him half an hour to get to Wuji Tower before heading to the Qin family.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking with Qin Suwei than Mo Linhou arrived with his men to take her away.

He didn't even have time to interrogate Lord Chen.

How did they know that Qin's parents were also involved in the case and came to arrest them themselves?
She recalled seeing a dark-colored jade pendant with two fish hanging from Mo Linhou's waist, and felt as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Zhu Liu came in at this moment: "Miss, Steward Zhou has arrived."

"Let him in."

After exchanging greetings, Steward Zhou said, "Third Miss, these are Xiaolian and the others' indentures. Aunt Zhu asked me to pass them on to you."

Liu Sijun gestured for Cong An to take the tea, took a sip, and then slowly said, "From now on, call her Cong An. That's Zhu Liu, don't get it wrong. Also, I asked you to send a few people to the courtyard to tend to the flowers and plants, but why haven't I seen any of them yet? Is the efficiency of the Liu family really this low these days?"

It's not that the efficiency is low, it's just that Aunt Zhu is unwilling to readily transfer people.

Steward Zhou said with a smile, "Cong An and Zhu Liu were both transferred from the laundry room. It would be difficult to transfer more maids. I hope the Third Miss will understand."

"I understand you, but who will understand me?"

No sooner had Liu Sijun finished speaking than Liu Shiyuan arrived at Qingqiu Courtyard with Aunt Zhu, and they overheard every word he had just said.

Liu Shiyuan's face was even stinkier than shoes that hadn't been washed for days.

Zhu Yingrong gently reminded him not to be angry, but his face darkened even more.

Seeing this rebellious daughter's face reminds me of her mother.

Actually, Liu Sijun's face wasn't much better either.

The last person she wanted to see was this cheap father.

In her opinion, this scumbag father was even more hateful than Aunt Zhu!
However, since he is his father in name only, he has to respectfully bow to him.

Liu Shiyuan didn't wake him up, but Liu Sijun wasn't one to give in passively, so he immediately got up and sat down next to Liu Shiyuan.

Zhu Yingrong: "..."

Being a step too late, he could only stand reluctantly next to Liu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan glared angrily, but she ignored him and took the initiative to attack: "Father, Grandmother said that you have restarted the investigation into my elder sister's poisoning four years ago. I wonder if there has been any progress after a day?"

"It's not that easy!"

Hmph, I knew it.

"Since Father has no clue, why doesn't your daughter provide him with one?"

Zhu Yingrong didn't have time to feel depressed; she immediately perked up her ears.

What clues do you have?

Liu Sijun didn't bother to argue and went straight to the point: "Does Father still remember Lixiang, the maid who served me back then?"
