All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

"Madam, something happened. A fire broke out in the tavern last night and Jiang Ren's family members were burned to death inside!" Xiang Zhu immediately informed Lu Yundi of the incident.

When Lu Yundi heard this, her face turned pale instantly, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into pieces. She stood up in a panic, with unspeakable fear and grief in her eyes.

"You said... Jiang Ren's family were burned to death? How is this possible..." Lu Yundi's voice trembled, she couldn't believe her ears.

Xiang Zhu pursed her lips tightly, with a flash of panic in her eyes. She walked carefully to Lu Yundi and comforted her softly, "Madam, don't worry. Maybe things are not as you think. We need to find out the truth and can't jump to conclusions."

Lu Yundi nodded and tried to calm herself down. She looked at Xiang Zhu, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Xiang Zhu, do you think there is any hidden story behind this? How could Jiang Ren's family be burned to death?"

Xiang Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, I think there must be something fishy going on. Although Jiang Ren has a bad character, his family is not at fault. The timing of the fire is too coincidental, which makes people have to be suspicious."

The two were silent for a while. Lu Yundi suddenly thought of something. She held Xiang Zhu's hand tightly and said, "Xiang Zhu, do you remember what Jiang Ren said before he died? He said, 'Jiang Lili, I will not let you go like this.' Could it be a clue he left before he died?"

A gleam of light flashed in Xiang Zhu's eyes: "Madam, do you mean that this fire is related to Jiang Lili?"

Lu Yundi nodded, his expression solemn: "Yes, we must investigate it thoroughly. Jiang Ren's family can't just die in such an unclear way."

So the two began to investigate the matter secretly. They first found the servant who was on duty last night and asked about the specific circumstances of the fire. The servant recalled: "Last night, the wine shop suddenly caught fire and the fire spread very quickly. We wanted to put out the fire, but it was too late. Jiang Ren's family was inside, and no one escaped."

After hearing this, Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu felt even more depressed. They found nearby residents and asked if anyone saw anything unusual last night. An old man recalled: "Last night, I heard a strange sound, like someone was arguing. Then, I saw a fire."

Based on these clues, Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu judged that the fire might have been caused by humans. They decided to go to the fire scene in person to look for more clues.

At the fire scene, they found some strange traces. There was a trail of footprints on the ground that seemed to extend from Jiang Ren's home. In addition, there was a burnt piece of paper with the words "Jiang Lili, you can't escape."

This piece of paper made Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu more convinced that the fire was related to Jiang Lili. They decided to find Jiang Lili and ask her if she knew about it.

In Jiang Lili's room, they saw Jiang Lili. She was pale and her eyes were full of fear. When Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu mentioned the fire, Jiang Lili suddenly lost control and burst into tears: "I know, I know that it is Jiang Ren's ghost who came to seek revenge on me. I am scared, I don't know what to do..."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Lili, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She gently patted Jiang Lili's shoulder and tried her best to calm her down. "Lili, don't be afraid first, we are all here. Tell us everything you know, and we can help you solve the problem."

Jiang Lili sobbed and nodded, and spoke intermittently about what happened that night: "That night, I heard Jiang Ren's voice. He whispered in my ear and said he wanted to take revenge on me. I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak. It wasn't until the next morning that I found his family..."

Xiang Zhu interrupted, "Jiang Lili, does Jiang Ren's ghost really exist? Or is someone trying to scare you on purpose?"

Jiang Lili raised her head, fear flashing in her eyes: "I don't know, but I did hear his voice. And, since he died, I often see his shadow at night. I... I'm really scared."

Lu Yundi frowned, she felt that the matter was becoming more and more complicated. She turned to Xiang Zhu and said, "Xiang Zhu, we need to find an expert to take a look and see what is going on."

......

"Yuqi, I just want to ask one question, does the fire in the tavern have anything to do with you?" Lu Yundi ignored Yu and asked Jiang Yuqi with a serious look.

Jiang Yuqi was stunned by Lu Yundi's questioning. She looked at Lu Yundi in astonishment and was speechless for a moment. Her mother Yu saw this and immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Lu Yundi, what are you doing? Yuqi is still young, how could she be related to such a thing?"

Lu Yundi glanced at Yu coldly and said firmly, "I just want to ask clearly. After all, Jiang Ren's family has an important relationship with the Jiang family. Yuqi, answer me, is the fire in the wine shop related to you?"

Jiang Yuqi's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes flickered, and finally spoke with difficulty: "I... I don't know, I really don't know. Mother, I didn't do such a thing."

Seeing Jiang Yuqi's reaction, Lu Yundi became even more doubtful.

Jiang Yuqi's answer did not resolve her doubts, but made things even more confusing.

At this time, Xiang Zhu walked in. She looked at Lu Yundi and whispered, "Madam, I think we should first investigate the truth of the matter before drawing any conclusions. It is not fair to blame Yuqi now."

Lu Yundi nodded and said to Jiang Yuqi, "Yuqi, I know you may be confused and scared now. But please believe me, we will find out the truth. Now, all you need to do is cooperate with us and tell us everything you know."

Jiang Yuqi looked at Lu Yundi, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She nodded and said softly, "I will, ma'am."

As soon as Jiang Yuqi finished speaking, Yu hurriedly walked to her daughter, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Yuqi, mother believes in you. You are a kind child and will not do such a thing. Don't worry, we will find out the truth together."

Jiang Yuqi nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Xiang Zhu looked at the scene in front of him, turned to Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's start with Jiang Ren's relationships during his lifetime to see if anyone has a grudge against him. In addition, we need to investigate the servants on duty at the tavern that night to see if they are hiding anything."

Xiang Zhu received the order and immediately went to arrange the investigation. Lu Yundi stayed and continued to talk with Jiang Yuqi and Yu.

"Yuqi, have you noticed anything unusual recently? For example, have Jiang Ren's family members exhibited any abnormal behavior?" Lu Yundi asked.

Jiang Yuqi shook her head and said, "I have been busy preparing for the marriage with the Ningguo Mansion recently, and I haven't paid attention to Jiang Ren's family. However, I heard that their family has always had a difficult life, and after Jiang Ren's death, they fell into a difficult situation."

Yu said, "Yes, Jiang Ren had bad behavior when he was alive, but his family was not at fault. We should help them, at least give them a place to stay."
