Qi Sijun and his wife hurried to the woodshed, and when they saw Qi Sili's cold body lying on the ground, Qi Sijun's heart sank.

He immediately realized that this was not a simple accident, but a deliberate trap set up by someone.

His face was livid and his fists were clenched.

Mrs. Qi was standing aside. When she saw the blood-stained corpse, she collapsed instantly. Her face turned pale, her steps became unsteady, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down uncontrollably, her voice choking with sobs: "How could Lao Ba... die in our house? This... this is clearly a frame-up!"

Qi Sijun suppressed his inner anger, turned around and ordered the housekeeper: "Stop the news immediately, report to the police, and make sure to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

However, before the butler could take any action, a burst of orderly footsteps was heard outside the yard.

Qi Sijun's eyes darkened and he turned to look at the door.

The Jingzhao Yin strode in with a team of detectives, their steps steady and powerful.

The servants in the yard, who were originally in a panic, immediately quieted down, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.

Lord Jingzhao Yin glanced over Qi Sili's body with a hint of cold scrutiny in his eyes.

"General Qi, I have received a secret report saying that a murder has occurred in the mansion." Lord Jingzhao Yin said in a deep voice.

Qi Sijun's face turned pale and his brows were furrowed.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Sir, someone is deliberately framing my Qi family. Qi Sili is my biological brother, but he died in my house. There must be a conspiracy."

However, the expression of Lord Jingzhao Yin did not waver at all. He looked at Qi Sijun coldly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "General Qi, I will find out what happened.

But now, you must follow me back to the government office to be interrogated."

Qi Sijun's eyes suddenly turned cold, his fists clenched, and his heart was filled with anger.

If they were arrested at this time, the Qi family's eldest branch would be in an irreversible situation.

, but the Lord Jingzhao Yin in front of him was obviously prepared and did not give him a chance to explain.

"Lord Jingzhao Yin, this is clearly..."

Before Qi Sijun could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Jingzhao Yin in a cold voice: "General Qi, human lives are at stake right now, so please cooperate with the investigation. As for the conspiracy behind it, we will make a conclusion after the interrogation."

Several detectives stepped forward quickly. It was pointless for Qi Sijun to resist at this point, so he had to cooperate with being arrested with a cold face.

Seeing this, Madam Qi's face turned even paler. Her eyes were filled with fear and panic. She seemed to have lost her support and instantly collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "No... Impossible... My Lord, nothing can happen to you..."

Then her eyes went dark and she finally fell to the ground.

The servants around her panicked and immediately surrounded her, trying to help her up.

Seeing this, Nanny Yu hurried forward, gently held Madam Qi in her arms, patted her face, and tried to wake her up: "Madam, wake up, Madam!"

Mrs. Qi had no reaction and her face was as pale as paper.

Nanny Yu was becoming more and more panicked, but she knew that she had to ask for help from the outside world, otherwise the Qi family would be completely finished.

She stood up and turned back to instruct the maids: "Take good care of the lady and make sure she rests quietly."

Then she walked away quickly.

Lin Ruoxue was leaning over the desk at this time, wondering what she was thinking about.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

The housekeeper came in and reported in a low voice: "Young lady, Madam Yu from the Qi family is here. She said she wants to see you for something urgent."

Lin Ruoxue raised her head and her eyes moved slightly.

She immediately stopped what she was doing and nodded: "Let her in."

A moment later, Nanny Yu hurried in with a look of deep anxiety on her face.

As soon as she saw Lin Ruoxue, she knelt down with a plop, and pleaded: "Miss, I am so helpless to come here to ask for an audience! Please help the Qi family!"

Lin Ruoxue quickly stood up and helped Nanny Yu up. She said in a gentle and soothing tone, "Nanny, please stop being like this. Tell me what happened to the Qi family. I want to listen first."

Nanny Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling slightly: "My eldest lady, you and the young master are engaged, and I shouldn't have disturbed you before the wedding, but now our Qi family is in great trouble."

"Master Qi...was taken away by the Jingzhao Yin early this morning. The mansion is in chaos, and the wife fainted from the shock. Now no one in the Qi family's main house can handle the situation, so we can only come to you for help."

Lin Ruoxue frowned slightly, and a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes.

Qi Sijun's arrest is by no means a trivial matter, especially since the Qi family holds an important position in the court. There must be some hidden story behind this matter.

She did not express her opinion immediately, but asked calmly: "Madam, don't panic. Tell me first, why was Master Qi arrested? Is there a specific reason?"

Nanny Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, suppressed her inner panic, and continued to recount everything that happened in the morning.

He Hua and Hua Diao noticed that Lin Ruoxue asked carefully and saw the anxiety in her eyes.

But it is against the rules for an unmarried girl to go to her husband's house.

He Hua and Hua Diao looked at each other and whispered, "Cover me for me. I'll go and inform the Madam."

Hua Diao nodded and said, "Go quickly and come back soon. It's best to tell Eighth Girl again. Eighth Girl is the most opinionated."

Then Lotus ran to Sun Rong's yard.

Lotus Sun was just about to take a sip of tea when she saw He Hua's expression and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Lotus, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Sun Rong put down the teacup and looked at Lotus.

He Hua took a few breaths, knelt down hurriedly and saluted, and said in a hurry: "Madam, something happened! Something big happened in the Qi family. The eldest daughter may plan to go to the Qi family in person. I think this is inappropriate, so I came to report it to you."

Sun Rong's face changed, and she immediately became serious: "Qi family? Why did the eldest girl want to go to the Qi family? What happened to their Qi family?"

He Hua hurriedly reported briefly the news that Lord Qi had been arrested, Madam Qi had fainted, and the Qi family's main house was in chaos.

Hearing this, Lotus Sun's expression became even uglier, her brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Even if something happens to the Qi family, Xue'er can't go there. Do you want Xue'er to be stabbed in the back?" Sun Rong said coldly, with suppressed anger in her tone, "What nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Lotus Sun's expression became even more solemn.

She knew very well that Ruoxue's marriage was related to the reputation of the Lin and Qi families, and even more so to her future prospects.

If she rashly interferes in the affairs of the Qi family, it will inevitably cause a lot of criticism in the court.

"Go find Xue'er, I have to stop her!"

After Sun Rong left, He Hua hurried to find Lin Ruoxuan.

When Lin Ruoxuan saw He Hua, she smiled and said, "Is it Big Sister who is looking for us? You don't have to be so anxious."
