One touch and one silence

After Nanzhi and others went in, she started to get rid of them.

Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable in this luxurious room. There was an indescribable feeling everywhere.

"I have something I want to ask Mr. Li and the old lady in private. Is that okay?"

Nanzhi's tone seemed to be negotiating, but in reality she did not allow others to refuse.

Li Yue's face looked a little unhappy. He wanted to say something, but his father raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay! You guys can go back!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yue wanted to say something else, but he had to shut up.

The servants retreated one after another. Li Yue stood there naturally, staring at Nanzhi, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nanzhi glanced at him, and seeing that he was not leaving, she casually walked to a chair and sat down without any hesitation.

"Second Master Li, please go out too! Don't worry, with Yuan Shaoqing and me here, your parents will be fine!"

"Why? Are you afraid that I will eat them?"

Yuan Shaoqing: ...

Li Yue: …

"Look at what you said!" Mr. Li looked at Nanzhi and Yuan Wuqing ingratiatingly, then glared at his son.

At the signal from his father's eyes, Li Yue walked out with a hint of anger, but still endured it.

Nanzhi discovered it, and she smiled with some ambiguous meaning at Li Yue's departing back.

"I'm sorry, old man!" Nanzhi turned around and apologized to the two old men, but there was not much sincerity in her tone.

"It's alright! If you have any questions, just ask! I will tell you everything I know." The old man's words were powerful, as if he were a good father.

"In order to catch the murderer for Jiang'er as soon as possible, I will tell you everything I know!" As the old man spoke, his body shook with excitement.

"Mr. Li, please don't get excited. I just want to ask you something about Mr. Li Er."

"Yue'er?" Mr. Li looked puzzled and confused. He didn't understand what this matter had to do with his second son.

Nan Zhiye ignored his doubts and asked directly, "Has Mr. Li never thought of passing the family business to Mr. Li Er?"

Yuan Wuqing: ...

Does this have anything to do with the case?

"What do you mean, sir? Do you mean Yue'er...? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Mr. Li's attitude was very firm, with an expression as if he was making a false accusation against someone.

"Mr. Li, you just need to answer my questions!" Nanzhi looked at Mr. Li seriously, and his tone did not sound so polite.

Seeing that the two Shaoqings had serious faces and expressions, Li Yuan had no choice but to defend his son.

"Yue'er has been close to Jiang'er since they were young. The two of them have never had a quarrel. This is something that everyone in the mansion knows."

Mr. Li spoke very honestly, fearing that Nanzhi and the others would not believe him, so he pulled out the servants and allowed Nanzhi to collect evidence at will.

When Nanzhi heard what Mr. Li said, she sighed in her heart.

This is how the second young master behaves!

"But I heard before that a month ago, the two had a big fight and even a physical fight. There was a slight scratch on the second young master's wrist, which was left behind."

Nanzhi stood up from her chair and walked in front of Mr. Li, her tone full of curiosity. Her words made Yuan Wuqing look sideways slightly.

When did the Seventh Prince go to investigate the Li family? How come he didn’t know anything about it?

Why had he never heard his subordinates talk about these things? Could it be that her secret guards had investigated?

In this case, it is understandable that his subordinates did not find out anything.

If it is really as Nan Shaoqing said, then... all of this is possible.

At this time, Mr. Li's wife stood up excitedly. The old lady, who was originally gentle, was now full of anxiety.

"Impossible, Yue'er would never treat his brother like that, let alone fight with him."

Nanzhi looked at the excited Mrs. Li with a smile on her lips.

"Then Mr. Li, please tell me why you have never thought of passing the family business to Mr. Li, the second son. Even though you knew Li Jiang's quirks and knew that he was not suitable, you still insisted on giving it to your eldest son. Why have you never had any other thoughts?"

Nanzhi's official tone startled the two old men, but soon Mr. Li reacted.

"Sir, have you ever seen a family that would pass on the family business to the second son without paying attention to the eldest son? Besides, Jiang Er's other girls were just willing. The Great Ling Dynasty supports widows remarrying."

Nanzhi said sarcastically with a fake smile: "But your son already has a wife and two concubines. If he wants to take another concubine, I'm afraid he is not qualified."

"But no one has stipulated that one is not allowed to have several lovers!" Mr. Li directly retorted. What he said made sense. The Da Ling Dynasty did not forbid them from having other lovers.

"But have you ever thought that your second son can't stand it?"

"What's so embarrassing about him? Impossible!" Mr. Li quickly spoke up for his son.

"It doesn't matter whether it's possible or not. What matters is that your son did something to fight for the family property!"

"The eldest son's servant is also his man."

"A month ago, he met a man named Chen Feng by chance. Seeing that he had a beautiful and weak wife, you must have known the virtues of your eldest son. So half a month ago, Chen Feng's wife came to your Li's to buy mourning cloth, and happened to run into your eldest son, and happened to fall in love with him at first sight."

"What's more, Chen Feng has been ill for many years. Although he didn't die, he still lived like a sick jar. He is still alive today. However, not long after he met your second son, the news of his death spread. How come his wife happened to buy mourning cloth in your Li's shop on the day when Li Jiang was here?"

"And I noticed that there were several cloth shops on the way from her home to yours."

After Nanzhi finished speaking, he stared at the two old men meaningfully.

"No...impossible!"

"My Yue'er would never do such a thing." Mr. Li still refused to believe it.

Yuan Wuqing: ...

His Highness the Seventh Prince is truly amazing. He has noticed such detailed details. Indeed, there are several cloth shops on the way here, and the prices are much cheaper than those at Li’s Cloth Shop.

Given how poor Chen and her family are now, shouldn't they buy something cheap?

Yuan Wuqing suddenly felt that something was going on and things became much clearer.

"It seems that Mr. Li doesn't believe it? What a pity, Mr. Li died tragically, and he didn't know who killed him until his death!"

Nanzhi had a look of pity on her face, which made Li Yuanwai so excited that his eyes were red with anger.

"Sir, please speak with evidence. If you don't have any evidence, please don't talk nonsense!" At this time, Mr. Li was no longer respectful and polite as he was at the beginning. He was no longer trying to please others. His attitude could even be said to be disrespectful.

"Don't worry, it will be available soon!"

"Please wait patiently for good news, Mr. Li! I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."
