Just when Madam Su was looking worried, someone suddenly suggested: "How about we go to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case and ask the officials there to help investigate?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was Zhou Ruoxue. She was filled with grief and indignation, and cried, "Old Madam, Zhuo'er died so tragically. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find the real culprit by investigating on our own. Only Jingzhao Prefecture can bring justice to Zhuo'er!"

Madam Su pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, let's do as you say. Steward Su, go to Jingzhao Prefecture and report the case immediately."

Steward Su took the order and left. Not long after, he returned to the Su Mansion with the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture and the grief-stricken Zhou Ruotai and his wife.

Seeing that Steward Su looked unhappy, the Su family guessed that the Jingzhao Mansion was brought by the Zhou family.

"My son, where is my poor son?" The heartbroken Mrs. Zhou Cai Hong was supported by her maid and walked over.

Zhou Ruotai's face was livid, his eyes were red, and he looked at the Su family as if they were his murderer. "Still talking! Where is my son?"

Zhou Ruoxue felt a little disappointed when she saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law coming, but she still gritted her teeth and went to greet them, "Brother and sister-in-law, Zhuo'er...it's all my fault for not taking good care of Zhuo'er."

When she saw Zhou Ruoxue, Cai Hong's anger rose from her feet to her hair. She didn't need the maid to support her. She used all her strength and slapped Zhou Ruoxue hard in the face.

"Mother!"

Su Zelin walked over quickly and supported Zhou Ruoxue who was almost knocked down by the slap. "Aunt, I know you are sad, but my cousin's death has nothing to do with my mother!"

Cai glared at Su Zelin fiercely and said angrily: "It's not your Su family members who died, so you are so calm.

Also, how can it have nothing to do with your mother? Ask your mother how she promised me that she would take good care of my Zhuo Er, and that’s how she took care of me!”

Zhou Ruoxue covered her swollen cheeks with her hands and cried, "Sister-in-law, I know you blame me, but I didn't mean to do that. Who knew that villain was so powerful that he could come and go in my Su Mansion freely, take away Zhuo'er, and hurt him so cruelly."

"Enough, I'm not in the mood to listen to you. I just want to see my son soon." Zhou Ruotai roared, scaring Zhou Ruoxue so much that she took a step back.

Madam Su sighed and said, "Stop arguing. Zhuo is in the inner room. The court doctor, please tell them the results of your examination."

After hearing this, Zhou Ruotai and Cai Hong hurried to the inner room, and Steward Su also invited the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture to come in with them.

Upon seeing Zhou Zhuo's body and hearing the court doctor's explanation, Cai Hong immediately collapsed to the ground, crying heartbreakingly. Zhou Ruotai also swayed and almost lost his balance.

"My son, you died so tragically! Su family, you must give me an explanation!"

Zhou Ruotai walked out of the inner room in two steps and shouted to Madam Su: "Madam, my son has suffered such an unfortunate disaster in your house. I will not give up until I find out the real culprit!"

Madam Su was so rude to a junior that she was angry but still looked guilty. She said, "Don't worry, uncle. The officials from Jingzhao Prefecture are here and will find out the truth."

Zhou Ruotai snorted coldly: "That's the best! If the real culprit is not found, I, Zhou Ruotai, will never let it go!"

At this time, the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture also came out from the inner room. The leading official said, "Madam, Mr. Zhou, after a preliminary inspection, there were no signs of fighting at the scene where Mr. Zhou was killed. We suspect that this is not the first crime scene."

Zhou Ruotai's eyes widened and he asked angrily, "Then where was my son killed?"

Steward Su then said, "When I brought a group of servants here to search last night, I didn't see Master Zhuo. I only found him when I passed by this morning."

Zhou Ruotai got even angrier after hearing this. "You are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. My son was harmed by the bad guys right under your noses, and you didn't even notice it."

Madam Su's face became increasingly ugly, but she still tried to hold back her anger and said, "Please calm down, dear relative. This matter is indeed the negligence of our Su family. We will definitely do our best to assist the officials in investigating the case and give you an explanation."

"Explain? How can I explain my son's life? If the real murderer is not found, I will not let your Su family go even if I become a ghost! Wuuuuu... My son! That villain who was cut into pieces should go to the 18th level of hell..."

At this time, Cai Hong's sharp voice came from the inner room.

Madam Su shook her head helplessly and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, go and arrange a guest room for my uncle and aunt to rest for a while while we wait for the results of the investigation."

Zhou Ruotai refused with a wave of his sleeves: "No, I'm afraid that if we close our eyes here, we won't wake up."

Madam Su sighed and said, "My dear uncle, no one wants to see this kind of situation. It has already happened, so we should calm down and help the officials find the real culprit as soon as possible."

Zhou Ruotai glared at him and sneered, "Calm down? My son died tragically. This is such a painful experience. How can I stay calm?"

Su Zelin came to an officer who was checking the surroundings and asked, "Sir, have you found any clues?"

The officer shook his head: "This murderer is an expert and didn't leave many clues."

Su Zelin glanced at Zhou Ruotai and asked in a low voice, "Aren't there two more quilts? Can't we find them from here?"

The officer shook his head again and explained, "These two quilts were left by the criminals to confuse our eyes. Mr. Su can think about it.

He didn't dare to leave anything behind, so why did he dare to leave these two obvious quilts? Isn't this a case of trying to cover up one's own faults? So this villain deliberately left these two quilts to disturb our thoughts."

Su Zelin frowned and said, "Sir, how should we investigate the case next?"

The officer thought for a moment and said, "Since Master Zhou was killed in your house, we need to question everyone in the house one by one. I hope you will cooperate."

Madam Su nodded and said, "Your Excellency the officer, please feel free to inquire. My Su family will definitely assist you with all its efforts."

So, the officers began to interrogate everyone in the Su family.

In Qingyou Garden, Nanny Yang was pacing back and forth anxiously, her heart full of anxiety.

Just now a maid came to report that Zhou Zhuo had been found hanged in an uninhabited courtyard, and that the Zhou family and officials from Jingzhao Prefecture had also come to the door.

It's been a while, and I don't know how things are going. Have they found any clues?

What if it is discovered that the murderer is Su Yue? Yang Ma was thinking about these messy questions in her mind.

At this time, Su Yue was eating chicken porridge slowly. While eating, she looked at Rendong who was standing motionless beside her. She couldn't help but feel satisfied. This girl has finally made progress.

What Su Yue didn't know was that Rendong was also very worried, but she had promised the older girl that she would change, so she didn't want to appear so flustered and disappoint her.

Seeing that Su Yue was still in the mood to eat breakfast, Nanny Yang would be lying if she said she didn't admire her.

She came to Su Yue and asked anxiously, "Girl, what if they come to search and interrogate?"

"Mammy, just be at peace. Haven't we already exchanged our confessions? What are you afraid of?

Besides, those two quilts pose no threat to us, believe me." Su Yue said and scooped another mouthful of chicken porridge and ate it happily.
