My Wife Is a Transmigrated Master Cultivator - Chapter 1448

1448 The Suspect Was Silenced
Now that she thought about it, she suddenly felt that it was the maid’s expression. She seemed to be a little flustered.

“Men!”

When the City Lord’s wife suddenly shouted, two guards quickly entered the hall.

“Bring Yu Hong here,” the City Lord’s wife instructed with a dark expression.

“Yes, Madam,” the two guards replied respectfully and quickly retreated.

In less than half an hour, the two guards returned. However, they brought a corpse.

“Madam, when we knocked on Yu Hong’s door, no one answered. We broke in and realized that Yu Hong had already died from the poison,” one of the guards reported.

The City Lord’s wife’s expression was extremely ugly. “Investigate. Find out clearly if she committed suicide or if someone deliberately killed her!” The City Lord’s wife was furious and gave the two guards an order.

“Yes, Madam!”

The two guards received the order and left.

Lu Zijia went forward to check Yu Hong’s corpse and realized that there was a finger mark on Hong Yu’s back, and there was a faint bruise at the corner of her mouth.

“She should have been silenced,” Lu Zijia judged.

The City Lord’s wife was so angry that she suddenly slapped the armrest. “How dare they! How dare they reach into the backyard of the City Lord Manor? They really don’t respect our City Lord Manor!”

The suspect was already dead, and the clues were gone. Lu Zijia and Liang Yingjun stayed for a while longer before leaving the mayor’s residence.

“Senior Lu, who do you think is the most suspicious?” After leaving the City Lord Residence, Liang Yingjun couldn’t help but ask Lu Zijia.

“The Lu family.” Lu Zijia gave an answer without hesitation.

“The Lu family? Why?”

Liang Yingjun looked puzzled. “Although Cheng Su’er hasn’t officially married into the Lu family, she’s still a member of the Lu family. Her reputation has been ruined, and the Lu family won’t be in a good state either.”

After Cheng Su’er was kidnapped, the matter of her copulating with two men in the forest had already spread throughout Zhuang Prefectural City.

As the groom, Lu Hejun became the focus of discussion.

What happened today could be said to have become a complete disaster for the Lu family.

Lu Zijia shrugged with a smile and gave a very nonchalant, casual, indifferent answer. “Intuition.”

Liang Yingjun: “…” Intuition… Senior Lu’s answer was really unexpected.

However, what Liang Yingjun didn’t know was that Lu Zijia’s intuition was based on her understanding of the Lu family.

In order to get rid of the threat they thought was there, the members of the Lu family would do anything, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.

…

In the Lu family mansion.

The originally joyous atmosphere of the Lu family was dead silent at this moment.

The servants passing by the main hall all deliberately stepped lightly, afraid of disturbing the people in the main hall.

The atmosphere in the main hall was even more oppressive. Everyone’s expression was very ugly.

Apart from the patriarch of the Lu family and a few elders, there was also Lu Hejun, City Lord Cheng and Cheng Su’er, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state and was still unconscious.

“City Lord Cheng, the Lu family has let you down. Don’t worry, the marriage between Hejun and Su’er will continue.” Lu Gang was the first to speak.

“Father!”

Lu Hejun, who was sitting at the end, suddenly stood up and looked at his father in disbelief.

Cheng Su’er was already a withered flower. If he married such a withered flower, wouldn’t he become the laughing stock of the entire Zhuang Prefectural city?!
Thinking that he would be pointed at when he went out in the future, Lu Hejun’s face was twisted into a ferocious expression.
