It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Gu Baiyu and others waited outside the door for only a moment before someone opened the door to the small courtyard.

The person who opened the door was Licorice. She cautiously looked outside. When she saw so many people, she was startled by the crowd and subconsciously wanted to close the door.

However, the people around Xiao Yanlin would not give him this chance.

The secret guard immediately took action and placed one hand on the door. Licorice couldn't move at all.

A somewhat hoarse, but very familiar voice came from inside: "Why, you followed me out to live in this small place for a few days, and you forgot the rules you learned in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Be generous and open the door! It's just Hou. Old people from the mansion come to visit, what are you afraid of?"

Licorice had no choice but to let go of the door, lowered her eyes at the door, and whispered: "Master Marquis, Madam, Second Master, please come in."

She saw Xiao Ruoyun in the corner, and her heart moved slightly.

Gu Ruanruan's guess was right, Xiao Ruoyun also came.

Licorice was in a complicated mood. Gu Ruanruan tortured himself like this these past few days just to wait for Xiao Ruoyun to come.

Gu Baiyu and others stepped into the atom.

Gu Baiyu took a moment to look at it. The yard was neither big nor small. It was a rare secluded place for ordinary people, but for Gu Ruanruan, who was once doted on by thousands of people, it was a bit aggrieved.

When she looked up and saw Gu Ruanruan's appearance, even though Gu Baiyu had been prepared and knew that Gu Ruanruan might pull a trick, she was still shocked.

How could Gu Ruan Ruan look as charming and cute as before!

She was extremely haggard, her hair was withered and yellow, her eyes were red, and the wounds on her face were swollen. It looked like she had been crying every day for the past few days.

Looking at her figure, she has actually lost a lot of weight in just a few days compared to before.

She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she came out of the Marquis' Mansion, but her collar and waist had become empty. In just a few days, she looked like she had put on more than ten pounds!

Gu Baiyu was secretly frightened. If Gu Ruanruan was just putting on a show for people to watch, he would be too cruel to himself.

But......

How could she be sure that the trick of selling out misery would still work on Xiao Ruoyun?

After all, she has used it more than once.

Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin thought together. They looked at each other and at the same time turned their attention to Xiao Ruoyun in the corner.

Just as Gu Baiyu thought, Xiao Ruoyun's eyes flashed with a hint of distress the moment he saw Gu Ruanruan.

But soon his eyes became firm again.

And Gu Ruanruan was different from what Gu Baiyu thought. He didn't look at Xiao Ruoyun immediately. He just glanced at it lightly and quickly looked away.

Gu Baiyu coughed slightly and spoke: "When you left the Hou Mansion that day, there were still many unclarified details about Zuo Ningshuang. After you left, the Hou Mansion conducted a thorough investigation and identified a suspicious person. Boy, my name is Zhang Ming, do you remember?"

Gu Ruanruan nodded, his attitude unexpectedly cooperative, "Of course I remember, he came to see me a few days ago, and I gave him some silver?"

Gu Baiyu pursed her lips. Gu Ruanruan was so calm that she was not sure how to continue asking.

But Gu Baiyu quickly calmed down.

Don't let others lead you by the nose.

"For no reason, why did you give him money? Did you know that after you left, we found the knocked out Ganoderma lucidum and followed the clues to Zhang Ming. He is the biggest suspect and you have money dealings with him?"

Gu Ruanruan raised his head and smiled faintly.

"What else could it be because of?"

She suddenly walked towards Gu Baiyu.

Xiao Yanlin on the side subconsciously took a step forward to isolate the two people.

Gu Ruanruan looked at Xiao Yanlin's movements and smiled lightly.

"Why should the Marquis be so nervous? I am just a concubine now... Oh no, I am just a concubine, not even a concubine. I am just a person who lives alone. I can treat the Hou family What is Madam doing?"

After she finished speaking, she stood there and tilted her head to look at Gu Baiyu.

"Shouldn't my sister know best why I have money dealings with Zhang Ming?"

"Of course it's because I'm indecisive, ill-informed, and very well-intentioned, that's why I got involved with such an ungrateful beast. In the past, he cheated me out of money every day, but now that I'm down and out, he probably wants me to be alone. I'm easy to bully, I want to get the last bit of money, but I don't have much money, so he just left after messing around for a while."

"Is it that simple?" Gu Baiyu asked.

"Of course." Gu Ruanruan said frankly.

"Then do you know that Zhang Ming died after he left you?"

Gu Ruanruan didn't look surprised at all: "Dead? Isn't that normal? Since my sister can find out about me, she should naturally know how much gambling debt he has. There are no people in this world who want him to die. If there are too many, what does it have to do with me?"

Her words seemed casual, but they were all spoken after careful consideration. For a moment, Gu Baiyu couldn't find any flaws in them.

Gu Ruanruan spoke so openly, so frankly that what he said was all the truth, and he revealed the cause of Zhang Ming's death.

Just because she told the truth, Gu Baiyu naturally couldn't find the loopholes in it.

However, Xiao Yanlin didn't have time to argue with them, so he directly ordered the secret guard on the side: "Search."

The secret guard nodded and accepted the order, and three more people came out secretly. The four of them surrounded the small yard and began to search.

Gu Ruanruan also seemed very indifferent to Xiao Yanlin's decision. He didn't say a word and just let a few men search his yard.

Gu Baiyu suddenly felt that there was little hope.

Gu Ruanruan is so indifferent, maybe there is no evidence at all.

Licorice on the side has not yet cultivated to the level of Gu Ruanruan.

She looked a little nervous and glanced at Gu Baiyu from time to time.

Gu Baiyu's literal translation at first was that she was looking at herself.

Later, I slowly discovered something was wrong.

Licorice didn't seem to be looking at her, just looking at him in this direction.

Gu Baiyu was thoughtful and began to look around him.

If this yard is not dug, except for a well, there will be only one tree left.

When Zhang Ming's body was found in a mass grave, the whole body was intact except for a discolored face. There should not be any body parts hidden in the well.

Gu Baiyu slowly moved a few steps towards the pear tree in the yard.

In fact, this place has been searched just now, nothing unusual.

But after Gu Baiyu walked over and stood there for a few seconds, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Her sense of smell has recently become so acute that ordinary people cannot imagine it. After standing for a few seconds, she smelled the smell of blood that should not belong to trees.

Gu Baiyu waved to a secret guard in the distance: "Come here."

The secret guard came over quickly: "What do you want to tell me, madam?"

"Did you ask about the smell of blood?"

The secret guard was stunned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. My subordinates just smelled it."

These secret guards followed Xiao Yan through life and death. They were used to seeing bloody scenes and were the most sensitive to them. He even shoveled some soil just now and found no problems.

He looked at Xiao Yanlin with his eyes, and Xiao Yanlin nodded: "Check again. If Madam says there is a problem, then check it out."

The secret guard nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Four big men began to dig around the pear tree.

And Licorice watched helplessly as the blood and soil that she had spent a whole day re-burying were being dug up little by little, and she almost felt desperate...

"under!"

"There really is something!"

"is blood!"

This is buried too deep..."

"Fortunately, Madam has a keen sense of smell. This is too powerful. It's so deep. How did Madam detect it?"

One of the younger ones among the four couldn't hide the trouble on his face. He raised his head from the pit with bright eyes: "Madam is so awesome! Can you teach us!"

How could Gu Baiyu have any ability to teach them!

It's just that my sense of smell has become very sensitive recently, so I can only look at Xiao Yanlin for help.

Xiao Yanlin glanced at the man lightly, and the secret guard immediately shut up.

After digging out something, a group of people gathered around it. Gu Baiyu just felt a hint of the smell of blood, but now that she was getting closer, she felt that smell rushing towards her face. She couldn't hold it back, so she immediately covered her mouth and ran away.

"lady!"

"What's wrong with you!"

"Quickly, bring me the veil!"
