Chapter 139 Seventh Lady 09

Wu Xiang followed Bao Ruoyou's carriage on horseback, "If this is the case, then our suspicion will be more solid. But if Liu Yao is not of the Liu family's blood, what happened back then?"

Bo Ruoyou lifted the curtain and said outside: "I don't know, I think there is some story."

More than ten years ago, the old uncle of the Liu family was still alive. In an Earl's mansion like the Liu family, they would not casually marry the younger generation. If Liu Yao's biological father was not Liu Wuye, how could the Liu family recognize her in the first place? of?

Bo Ruoyou has deep suspicion in his heart, "We will find out when we get to the Liu family, or maybe she was expelled from the family tree because of other things."

Wu Xiang responded, and the group of people rode horses and drove to the Liu Mansion. When they arrived in front of the Liu Mansion in Pingkangfang, Liu Yan came out to greet him again. Seeing Wu Xiang, Liu Yan asked with concern about the progress of the case. , after entering the flower hall, Wu Xiang just asked: "There are no clear clues yet, but I have a question to ask you."

"Please tell me about the head arrest——"

Wu Xiang said in a deep voice: "Miss Seven is the daughter of your deceased fifth uncle, right?"

Liu Yan nodded inexplicably, and Wu Xiang added: "But I heard that Liu Yao was expelled from your Liu family genealogy four years ago. Is it true?"

"Expelled from the family tree?" Liu Yan's expression suddenly changed, "How is this possible? Where did you hear about the arrest?"

Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yan, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, he said: "You don't have to worry about where you heard it, you don't know about this?"

Liu Yan looked confused, "I don't know, and how is it possible?"

Wu Xiang thought for a while, "Is your father in the house today?"

Liu Yan shook his head, "Father went to the Yamen——"

Wu Xiang said nothing, "Well, let's wait until your father comes back."

Liu Yan was very surprised, but seeing Wu Xiang's serious expression, he himself felt that this matter was not trivial, so he immediately ordered someone to send a message to Liu Xun, the eldest son of the Liu family, to come back early.

While Liu Xun was waiting, someone poked his head outside the flower hall. Wu Xiang frowned and looked at Liu Yan, "Whose servant is that?"

Liu Yan also saw the man and replied: "He is the servant of the fifth brother."

Fifth Young Master Liu Xi... Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou looked at each other, and Wu Xiang asked again: "How was Liu Yao's life in the house when he was a child? Was he ever punished by anyone for making mistakes, or, Have you ever encountered any danger?"

Liu Yan frowned, "Punishment...is this what she was punished by her grandmother when she was a child?"

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Being punished by the old lady in the house?"

"Yes, there were a few times when her grandmother was very strict with her, and she was quite harsh with her hands. When she was a child, her grandmother would not allow her to come to the main courtyard. However, she was young and always unruly, so her grandmother would order her servants to take her away. Beat her with bamboo strips."

Liu Yan looked a little uncomfortable after saying, "Grandma believed in the words of those monks and Taoists. She felt that she had defeated the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt, so she was a little resentful towards her. But if the seventh sister abides by the rules, then grandma will not Treat her badly."

Bo Ruoyou thought of the scars on Liu Yao's body. Those scars were very old. In addition to scars caused by trauma, there were also scars left by burns. She quickly asked, "Has she been burned when she was a child?"

Liu Yan wanted to shake his head at first, but soon he raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, once, about ten years ago, there was a fire in the house. At that time, the fifth brother was trapped in the fire. Although the seventh sister Although he was young, he saved his fifth brother from the fire."

He squinted his eyes and recalled, "At that time, the place where the fire broke out was in the bamboo building in the northwest of the courtyard. The bamboo building was a place for viewing the scenery. After the fire, the fire spread very quickly because it was close to the seventh sister's yard. She He was very familiar with the bamboo building, so he ran in to save people without hesitation, and finally rescued the fifth brother, but both of them were burned in many places by the tongue of fire."

Bo Ruoyou and Wu Xiang looked at each other for a moment. When they saw the scars on Liu Yao's body, they both subconsciously thought that Liu Yao had been abused. But now it seems that besides being beaten by the old lady, , the burn was caused by an accident.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but said: "So the Fifth Young Master cares very much about the Seventh Girl?"

Liu Yan nodded, "That's true. After that incident, my grandmother became kinder to her. So you just asked me if the seventh sister was expelled from the family tree. I was very surprised. She is the biological daughter of the fifth uncle. How could you be expelled from the family tree?"

Wu Xiang smacked his lips for a moment, and was a little doubtful about the nun's testimony. They waited until around noon when Liu Xun returned. When they heard that the people from the yamen had arrived, Liu Xun went straight into the hall with a gentle face.

However, when Wu Xiang expressed his doubts, Liu Xun's expression darkened, "This matter has nothing to do with Yao'er's case, right?"

Wu Xiang said seriously, "If it had nothing to do with it, we wouldn't make this special trip. Please let me know clearly."

Liu Xun frowned. This behavior surprised Liu Yan. If Liu Yao had not been removed from the list, he would have directly denied it. Liu Xun was so hesitant, almost acquiescing that this was indeed the case.

"Father, did you really expel the seventh sister from the family tree?"

Liu Xun glanced at Liu Yan and exhaled deeply, "That's all. Now that we have inquired here, there is nothing to hide. Yao'er has indeed been expelled from the family tree. This is also my mother's last wish."

Wu Xiang stared, "Is it because the seventh girl is not of Liu's blood?"

A dark color flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, and he answered with difficulty, "Yes."

Liu Yan took a breath, "Father, how could..."

Liu Xun was silent for a few moments, and then slowly told what happened that year, "My younger brother and sister were already pregnant when they entered the Liu family, and they were of other people's blood. My fifth brother loved my younger brother and sister deeply. He concealed the matter. But later, his younger brother and sister died of hemorrhage when giving birth to Yao'er, and the fifth brother became depressed. Perhaps he knew that Yao'er was not his biological daughter, and he didn't care much about her. After being drunk, he accidentally took her. The matter was exposed and my mother knew about it. My mother was furious at the time, and she never thought that the fifth brother would die unexpectedly later. Because of this, my mother disliked Yaoer even more."

"Only my second brother and I knew about this matter. In the years that followed, my mother did not allow Yao'er to walk around the house. She wanted to be out of sight and out of mind. Later, some troubles occurred, and my mother tolerated it for the time being. However, when she was dying, We still didn't want Yao'er to remain in the Liu family's family tree, so we ordered us to quietly remove her name, and then find a family for her to marry her off. Then we forgot about it. But we didn't expect that Yao'er would end up with her later. I had an affair——"

Liu Xun’s fists clenched tightly on the arm of the chair, and the look on his face became even more gloomy.

Wu Xiang was slightly moved when he saw that things were just as Bo Ruoyou guessed, "Does any of the young masters know about this?"

Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Only my second brother and I know about this matter. Even the two brothers Yan'er don't know."

Liu Yan really doesn’t know, but what about the others?

Brothers and sisters have grown up together since childhood. If they were regarded as biological sisters, they would naturally not have feelings for each other. However, if they knew that they were not related, the result would be completely different. Liu Yao has an elegant and beautiful appearance, and a sweet temperament. She can often be a celebrity for her brothers, and dare to go to fires to save people. She can also be regarded as devoted to her brothers, so it is really easy to feel pity for her. .

Wu Xiang refused to give up, "No matter how hard I think about it, I can't hide it if there is even a slight possibility."

Liu Xun frowned unhappily, "Did the government officials suspect Yan'er?"

Wu Xiang glanced at Liu Yan, "The third young master is not suspected at the moment, but the other young masters are not necessarily-"

"But they are obviously brothers and sisters from the same clan."

Wu Xiang shook his head, "The master also said that this is only on the surface. What if any of the young masters knew the truth early in the morning? They are all young masters and young ladies, so they may not be able to stabilize their minds at times."

Liu Xun’s thick eyebrows were knitted into the Chinese character Sichuan, and he pondered for a long time before saying: “There is only one possibility of knowing this, which is to take out the genealogy when going to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, but the genealogy is usually locked in the cabinet of the ancestral hall. Even ordinary people can’t afford it.”

"Where is the key?" Wu Xiang asked.

Liu Xun said: "The key is here with me. It's normal and no one else dares to come and get it from me."

Wu Xiang pondered for a few moments. He found out about this from the nun who had a good relationship with the second master. Since the nun knew about it, would anyone else know about it too?

He asked twice more worriedly, and Liu Xun affirmed: "The genealogy is only brought out during the Chinese New Year and when there are more people in the clan, and I was also present at this time. My second brother and I deliberately concealed it. I won't let them know easily if I keep them in mind. If not, Yan'er should have known about it long ago."

Liu Yan echoed, "My father attaches great importance to etiquette during sacrifices."

Wu Xiang asked: "Where is the second master?"

Liu Xun looked at Liu Yan, and Liu Yan said: "I don't know, my second uncle is not in the house."

Liu Xun didn’t know what he was thinking of, and his eyes showed disgust, “Send someone to find——”

Wu Xiang thought for a while and then said: "I would like to ask the Third Young Master to invite the Fifth Young Master over. I have something to ask the Fifth Young Master."

Liu Xun saw this and left with a sullen face. Soon, Liu Xi was invited over. When Wu Xiang saw him, he went straight to the point: "Miss Seventh has a life-saving grace for the Fifth Young Master. No wonder he is particularly concerned about the Seventh Young Master. Fifth Young Master Is the house in the south of the city prepared for Miss Seven?"

Liu Xi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "I don't know what the catcher is talking about."

Wu Xiang sighed, "Fifth Young Master, there is no need to hide it anymore. Just now, the eldest master has told us the past events. Does Fifth Young Master already know the life experience of the Seventh Miss?"

Liu Xi pursed her thin lips tightly and said nothing with a sullen face, but there was no unexpected doubt. Liu Yan looked at him in surprise, "Fifth brother really knows?"

Liu Xi frowned, as if he had thought of something, and with a heavy look in his eyes, Wu Xiang continued: "If the Fifth Young Master is always secretive, it will not be conducive to the Yamen finding the murderer of Miss Seven, or maybe the Fifth Young Master Is he the murderer who murdered Miss Seventh?"

"I'm not." Liu Xi looked at Wu Xiang gloomily, "How could I harm her!"

"Then the Fifth Young Master doesn't want to find out the murderer of Miss Seventh? How did the Fifth Young Master know about Miss Seventh's life experience? But is there anyone else who also knows about it?"

Liu Xi took a deep breath, as if he was weighing something. After a moment, his eyes calmed down, "Yes, I do know, I already knew it two years ago..."
