Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

At the same time, Su Yi and Mr. Xue spent a busy day making secret visits along the road from the capital to Huguo Temple. Someone saw four or five men riding towards Huguo Temple that day with their faces covered.

Su Yi gradually found out that the criminals came from the east of the city and were getting closer and closer to Wang Jingxuan's father Wang Zhuang's home based on the passers-by's description of the direction in which the men were riding.

Finally, the man with the mole on his chin that the maid Xu Jingshu said was caught in the ruined temple in the east of the city.

In Dali Temple, Xu Jingshu's maid looked at the man with a chin in front of her. She couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the man's violation of her that day.

"Master Su, Master Xue, this is the man. He and four other men killed the groom that day."

"Hmph! Little girl, you're not dead!" These words let Su Yi and Mr. Xue know that they had arrested the right person.

"Little girls, do you and I feel good? Do you want to do it again?" The man with a chin said provocatively with lewd eyes and a smile.

"Dali Temple is not a place for you to make mistakes." Master Xue said angrily.

After Xu Jingshu's maid heard the man's words, she was stimulated. Thinking of the bad memories of that day, she fainted as soon as her emotions came to her head.

"Who is your accomplice?" Su Yi still remained rational and asked the gangster's accomplice.

"I won't tell you. One day you will let me out." The man said with a proud smile.

The reason why the man with the mole on his chin is so arrogant is because Wang Jingxuan’s eldest brother said that Xiao Yan, Wang Jingxuan’s husband, is responsible for commanding Dali Temple. Even if he is arrested, as long as he does not admit it and does not reveal his accomplices, Wang Jingxuan and Wang Jingxuan’s eldest brother will Clear the relationship and let them go.

But what the man just said to Xu Jingshu's maid had exposed himself.

Lord Xue was not as calm as Su Yi. He took a step forward and wanted to teach this man a lesson, but Su Yi stopped him.

"Brother Xue, let's go out and talk."

The two walked out of the interrogation room. Su Yi turned to the officers and soldiers and said:

"Lock this prisoner up properly."

"Brother Su, what do you mean by this? This man is too arrogant. He actually spoke arrogant words. According to my opinion, if he did such a cruel thing, he should be tortured to force out his accomplices." Mr. Xue said angrily.

"Brother Xue, don't be angry. He just said that one day we will let him out." Su Yi calmly guided Mr. Xue.

"What does this mean? It's just a rant from a young man." Mr. Xue said nonchalantly.

"He is so arrogant and dares to kill the daughter of a court official, which shows that there is a high platform behind him." Su Yi explained patiently.

"So what? Does Brother Su give up and give the girl the truth just because they have a high platform behind them?"

Su Yi smiled helplessly:

"Brother Xue misunderstood. We just caught a gangster. Since there is someone behind him, Su will definitely catch the person behind him and give the girl the truth. But we can't rush now. Since the gangster comes from the east of the city, Let’s continue searching and ask the people around who this man usually hangs out with, maybe we can catch one of his accomplices.”

Sure enough, according to what Su Yi said, two more accomplices were quickly caught. As for Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother, he had left the capital with his entourage, the last man that day.

Except for the first man who used Xu Jingshu's maid to trick him out, the other two refused to admit it.

Duke Xiao's Mansion.

"Sir, my subordinates asked everyone in Mrs. Side's yard, and they all said that Mrs. Side had been staying in the yard honestly and found nothing unusual." Wang Xiaowu told Xiao Yan the truth after the investigation.

"Is it true that my father-in-law has made a mistake?" Xiao Yan lay lazily on the chair, tapping the fingers of his left hand rhythmically on the table.

"Master, could it be that the direction of our investigation is wrong?" Wang Xiaowu asked.

"There is another person, you definitely didn't ask!" Xiao Yan said firmly.

"Sir, I've asked all the subordinates in Madam Side's yard, including the cleaning girl, and they all said the same thing. I didn't find anything unusual. Should I ask Madam Side? There's no one else in Madam Side's yard." Wang Xiao Five answered confidently.

"Have you asked about Madam Side's maid Qiu'er?" Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaowu with sharp eyes.

"This... subordinate really doesn't have it." Feeling the pressure from Xiao Yan, Wang Xiaowu felt ashamed and did not think of Qiu'er.

That's right, if Wang Jingxuan does something, Qiu'er will be the first to know. "

"Master, my subordinates are going to ask now."

"No need, she will take the initiative to talk to her father-in-law."

It turned out that Qiu'er went to Xiao Yan's study last night. Xiao Yan asked his mother to scold Qiu'er for being disrespectful. At the same time, he labeled Wang Jingxuan as a lax servant and fined her three months' monthly payment.

As expected, Wang Jingxuan was furious and picked up a whip and whipped Qiu'er. Until now, Wang Jingxuan is still beating Qiu'er in the yard, and Qiu'er has been beaten until she breathed her last.

"Mrs. Side, please show mercy to Mrs. Side." The two nuns knelt on the ground and said.

"What? You two old ladies still want to meddle in my wife's affairs? The Duke asked you to come here to serve me. My wife is kind-hearted. For the sake of your age, I will let you rest every five days (actually for your own convenience). Secretly dating Hu Yang), now I’m teaching a girl I brought from my parents’ home, do you want to get involved too?”

"Mrs. Side, I shouldn't talk too much, but when you see that Qiu'er can't get up, why don't you show your respect and let her go for once? Why don't you fine her more monthly money and give her more work?" The older grandma explained.

Wang Jingxuan's own anger was almost gone. When she saw the nanny sent by Xiao Yan to plead with Qiu'er, Wang Jingxuan supported her waist with her left hand, threw down the whip with her right hand and said:

"Qiu'er, I will spare you for now. If you do it next time, I will beat you to death."

Looking at Wang Jingxuan's vicious eyes, the two old ladies couldn't help but feel cold when they heard Wang Jingxuan's harsh words.

The two of them murmured in their hearts, no wonder Wang Jingxuan was demoted to the rank of concubine. Such a vicious woman was indeed unworthy of sitting in the position of the Duke's wife.

The two nuns asked the guards at the door to carry Qiu'er to the servant's room, and found a doctor to check Qiu'er's wounds.

After the doctor examined her, one of the nuns followed Xiao Yan's instructions and patiently applied medicine all over Qiu'er's body.

"Sir, Qiu'er was beaten half to death by Madam Side, and she is still lying on the bed unconscious." Another nanny said back.

"Continue to monitor Qiu'er, remove the guards in Madam Side's yard, and send two secret guards to monitor her secretly."

"Sir, there aren't many secret guards in our mansion to begin with. Wouldn't they be overqualified to monitor Madam Fang?" Wang Xiaowu asked.

"No, this is just right so you can find out what's wrong."

On the other side, Mammy had just finished applying medicine to Qiu'er. Qiu'er woke up because the wound hurt.

"Miss Qiu'er, you're awake."

Qiu'er looked around and found herself in her room.

"Mommy, I beg you, please take me to find the Duke. If you have anything to say, you must tell the Duke in person."
