On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changxu.

"What are you standing there for? Slap him a few times."

Huo Changxu was stunned, and Lu Daru was also confused.

What kind of method is this? No one does this.

The officials don’t care?

Lu Daru looked to Cui Chong for help.

Cui Chong turned the dagger over and over: I was busy, I didn’t have time, I didn’t hear it.

The madam was speechless, her eyes kept rolling, who was this guy? He was so arrogant, I had to take a good look at him, maybe in the future...

Unexpectedly, the next moment Yan Ruyu's eyes swept towards her.

Cui Chong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and knocked the madam unconscious with a knife.

Lu Daru took a deep breath.

Yan Ruyu urged: "Hurry up and fight."

"When someone frames you and bullies you, don't say anything else, just fight back and vent your anger first."

Huo Changxu nodded, his emotions aroused, and he swung his arm to slap Lu Daru several times.

There was a crisp sound of "pa pa", and Lu Daru gritted his teeth and dared not say a word.

He saw it just now. The madam had a knife at her neck and was knocked unconscious.

After a few slaps, his face was swollen and numb. Lu Daru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief with trembling fingers.

Yan Ruyu signaled Huo Changxu to take his handkerchief.

"It's very good material, better than the material of your clothes. Where did you get it?"

Lu Daru's lips trembled: "My own..."

Yan Ruyu raised his chin and Huo Changxu slapped him again.

"Say it again."

Lu Daru was about to cry: "I said, I said, I bought it myself, but someone gave me the money."

Huo Changxu opened his eyes wide, shook his numb hands, and was extremely excited.

My sister-in-law's method is effective.

"Who are you and why did you give you money?" Huo Changxu asked.

Lu Daru was breathing rapidly, his legs were so weak that he almost knelt down: "I don't know either. She covered it up very well. She said that I should get close to you on purpose, and then revealed that I have ancient books at home, and then... brought you here again."

Huo Changxu's eyes turned red, he was so angry that he was fuming. He pointed at him and was about to curse.

"Just curse if you want to." Yan Ruyu said.

Huo Changxu could no longer bear it: "You really are... How did I offend you? Even though I was being respectful and polite to you, you still had the nerve to lie to me? You even used an ancient book passed down from our ancestors to deceive me. Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will be pissed off?"

Yan Ruyu: “…” What kind of scolding is that?

However, she had to take this opportunity to take another look at the corpse.

Nothing can be seen on the surface. Neither the lips nor the fingers look like they were poisoned. There was no warning in the space when I touched it lightly, which showed that he did not die of poisoning.

No external injuries, not poisoning.

what is that?

Yan Ruyu switched her eyes and observed carefully while thinking about the process Huo Changxu had described.

Soon, she discovered the clue.

It turned out to be the case.

Just as I turned my eyes back on and was about to ask Lu Daru for some details, I heard some noise downstairs.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and a yamen runner said outside the door: "Boss Cui, there is a young lady downstairs who said she is willing to guarantee for the young master, so she came to bail him out."

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changxu, who was confused.

Cui Chong looked at Yan Ruyu for instructions. Yan Ruyu nodded. He opened the door and let the bailiff in.

"Who is it? Any explanation?"

The bailiff shook his head and said, "No, she was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see her face. But she spoke very sincerely, and she even held out a purse and opened it for me to see. It was indeed silver."

Cui Chong asked again: "Did she ever mention what her relationship with you was?"

"I asked her, and she said that she had no relationship with him, but that she had met him a few times and that she thought he was a good person and would not do such a thing, so she was willing to help him."

Yan Ruyu shook her head slightly, and Cui Chong said, "Go tell her that the matter has not been sorted out yet, and if she wants bail, she will have to talk about it later."

"Besides, she has nothing to do with the young master, so her bail must be posted by her family first."

The bailiff received the order and passed the message.

The door closed again.

Huo Changxu was surprised and said, "I don't know any woman."

Yan Ruyu believed this. Ever since Huo Changxu arrived in Youcheng, he had been concentrating on his bookstore business, or he would stay in the backyard doing printing, writing stories, and sorting out ancient books.

He had never told anyone that he was Huo Changhe's younger brother, nor had he ever relied on the power of the palace.

Unless they were very close and familiar with him, they would not know that his "Huo" was the "Huo" of Zhennan Wang.

Most of the people who came to the bookstore were men, and there were very few women. Even if there were women, they were mostly maids who were ordered to buy designated booklets.

Huo Changxu couldn't reach him at all.

Yan Ruyu looked at his confused expression and an idea came to her mind.

"Do you know Cheng Fengyao?"

Huo Changxu thought about it and shook his head: "Cheng Fengyao? I don't know her."

He suddenly thought of something: "Cheng family? Is it the Cheng family I mentioned before?"

Although Huo Changxu was busy, he often went to pay his respects to the eldest lady and knew about the affairs of the family.

He heard about the Cheng family's affairs and wanted to help, but was stopped by Huo Changhe.

Huo Changxu gritted his teeth: "You mean, it was the Cheng family who harmed me? How despicable."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

I don't know what his motive was, but it shouldn't be his intention to kill him.

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said to Cui Chong, "Please go and tell the prince to ask Yinding to bring Beibei and Zhao Yan here."

"it is good."

Cui rushed downstairs and closed the door behind him.

Yan Ruyu walked up to Lu Daru and asked, "How much money did that person give you?"

"Please explain the whole story clearly."

Lu Daru was now regretting his decision. Seeing how Yan Ruyu could easily order Cui Chong around, he knew that Yan Ruyu was no ordinary person.

He didn't dare to hide it anymore: "Not much, thirty taels."

"I was a little short of money recently, so I sold some furniture. On my way home that day, I met this man."

"She asked me to do a favor and she would give me thirty taels. I only sold five taels that day. She said it was not a murder or arson case, but she just knew someone. I agreed for some reason."

Lu Daru's face trembled and he almost cried: "I really didn't know that this woman would die. I also didn't know... Young Master..."

"You didn't expect that you couldn't afford to offend him, right?" Yan Ruyu exposed his thoughts, "It has nothing to do with this. Does it mean that without a family background, you can let him be framed and bullied?"

Lu Daru lowered his head and said nothing.

"If you were asked to see that person again, would you be able to recognize her?"

Lu Daru thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't want to recognize her, she is indeed..."

"There are many ways to recognize people. You don't have to look at their faces. You can also look at their body shape, voice, approximate age, movement habits, and walking posture."

Lu Daru thought about it seriously and said, "Yes."

"Of course."

Yan Ruyu didn't expect him to be able to do anything, at least he could be a support.

"Go behind the screen, turn your back to this side, and cover your ears."

"If I find out that you're peeking or eavesdropping, you'll be completely blind and deaf from now on."

Lu Daru shuddered and quickly slipped behind the screen to do as he was told.

Just at this moment, the window also rang.
