The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Wu Qingfu was shocked for a moment and her breathing became rapid, but her anger made her refuse to give in and she continued to stare at Lin Ruoqiao viciously.

"Even if you can hide now, my Wu family will make you pay the price sooner or later! I will never let you have an easy time!" She still spoke harshly, her eyes full of jealousy.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoqiao's expression did not fluctuate at all, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

She disdained to get entangled with Wu Qingfu and said to Song Zhennan calmly: "I'm leaving first."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, called the maid, and left without looking back.

Lin Ruoqiao was in a heavy mood and could not find peace of mind.

Despite her calm demeanor, she wasn't completely indifferent.

She took her maid to East Lake to relax.

The scenery by the lake was still as beautiful as usual, with a gentle breeze blowing on her face, but the annoyance in her heart was hard to dissipate.

"Miss, shall we go home? The day seems to be changing." The maid reminded cautiously.

Lin Ruoqiao looked up at the sky, and sure enough, dark clouds gradually covered the sky, and it became gloomy.

Soon after, raindrops began to fall sparsely, and as time went on, the rain became heavier.

She sighed and pointed to the pavilion not far away: "Let's go over there to take shelter from the rain and go back when the rain stops."

The two of them hurriedly ran into the pavilion, and their clothes were quickly soaked by the rain. Although they were not in a mess, their clothes were also stained by the mud and water.

They hid in the pavilion for a long time, until the evening when the rain slowed down a little, and then they hurried back home.

As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, Lin Ruoqiao met Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Huaixun.

They had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw her coming back covered in mud, they smiled at each other and began to tease her.

Lin Ruoxuan said with a smile: "Seventh sister, where did you go to fight in the mud?"

Lin Huaixun also joked: "Sister, you look like someone who just came back from escaping. How can you look like our delicate Seventh Miss?"

Lin Ruoqiao rolled her eyes and retorted bluntly: "Fourth brother, I just went to East Lake to relax, it's not as miserable as you said!"

Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help laughing and patted her shoulder gently: "Okay, go change into clean clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded and turned back to her room.

The next morning, the tranquility of the Lin Mansion was broken by a sudden noise.

The government detectives arrived at the mansion early in the morning and demanded to take Lin Ruoqiao to the government office for questioning.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Lin family was in a panic.

As soon as Lin Ruoxuan heard the news, she rushed to the front hall.

She walked into the front hall with a nervous look on her face, wearing clothes that she had not yet tidied. When the constable saw her, he immediately recognized that she was the prestigious Eighth Miss of the Lin family, who was about to marry Master Gu, and his expression immediately became more respectful.

"Detectives, what's going on?" Lin Ruoxuan asked in a deep voice, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes. My seventh sister has no grudges against anyone, so why would the government come to her house?

When the constable saw Lin Ruoxuan coming to ask questions, his attitude immediately became cautious.

Although they were officials, they did not dare to offend Lin Ruoxuan easily because of her identity.

The leading constable bowed and explained in a low voice: "Eighth Miss, this is what happened. This morning, Wu Qingfu's body was found dead in the woods outside the city. The method used was extremely cruel, and he was naked, and it seemed that he had suffered great torture."

Lin Ruoxuan's expression froze instantly when she heard this, her eyes grim: "Wu Qingfu is dead? What does that have to do with our Seventh Miss?"

The detective took a deep breath and continued, "According to our information, Wu Qingfu had an argument with Young Master Song Zhennan and Miss Seven at the Tingqu Club yesterday. Afterwards, the three of them left the club one after another. The most difficult thing is that Wu Qingfu's maid Wan'er identified Miss Seven and Young Master Song as the murderers. She said she saw Wu Qingfu being forcibly taken to the carriage by Song Zhennan and Miss Seven."

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in the front hall, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.

Lin Ruoxuan's face darkened and she was shocked, but she tried her best to remain calm. She turned to look at Lin Ruoqiao beside her and saw that she was also pale. It was obvious that she did not expect to be accused of murder.

Lin Ruoqiao hurriedly shook her head and explained anxiously: "Eighth sister, I didn't kill Wu Qingfu at all! Song Zhennan and I did have an argument with her at the Tingqu Club yesterday, but I left after a while. I didn't do these things at all!"

Lin Ruoxuan was anxious, but she tried her best to remain calm.

The seriousness of the matter was far beyond expectations. With the testimony of eyewitnesses, Lin Ruoqiao had become a suspect.

She knew very well that she could not hinder the police from investigating the case, so she could only let the police take the man away.

"Seventh sister, don't worry, I'm taking care of you." Lin Ruoxuan whispered to comfort her with a firm look in her eyes.

Lin Ruoqiao nodded. Although she still looked nervous, she felt more confident with Lin Ruoxuan and her fourth brother by her side.

Lin Ruoxuan turned around and told the maid beside her: "Luqiao, go and inform father and ask him to rush to Jingzhao Yinfu immediately. Hongya, go and inform my eldest sister and ask her and her brother-in-law to come and help. As for mother, tell her to manage the family affairs well and not to lose her composure because of the disturbance outside."

The two maids took the order and left quickly.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Huaixun. Although she was nervous in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

"Come on, Fourth Brother, let's go in and take a look at the situation."

Lin Huaixun nodded, his face equally solemn: "Little sister, don't worry."

Jingzhao Yin Mansion, inside the hall.

Lord Jingzhao Yin sat upright, dignified and calm.

When the interrogation began, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Huaixun were allowed to stand in the gallery.

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes were fixed on the front of the hall, with vigilance flashing in her eyes.

"Submit the autopsy report." Jingzhao Yin ordered in a deep voice.

The coroner handed over a report respectfully, then cleared his throat and said, "Sir, after a careful autopsy, we have come to the following conclusion. Wu Qingfu was indeed murdered, and the method was cruel. Her innocence was tarnished before her death, with as many as 26 wounds on her body. Each wound carries extremely strong malice and hatred. The murderer must have a deep hatred for Wu Qingfu."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

Lin Ruoqiao trembled slightly and her face became even paler.

The coroner continued, "The real cause of death was excessive blood loss. The murderer drained all her blood at the end. This method was extremely cruel."

Jingzhao Yin frowned, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The murderer is so cruel, it is obvious that he hates Wu Qingfu to the extreme, or has a great grudge against her."

Afterwards, Lord Jingzhao Yin looked at Wan'er kneeling in the hall with a sharp gaze and said in a cold voice: "Tell me again in detail the specific circumstances of Wu Qingfu's disappearance yesterday. If you lie, you will bear the consequences yourself."

When Wan'er heard this, her face changed. She lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Sir, everything I said is true."

"Yesterday afternoon, my girl had an argument with Miss Seven and Mr. Song at the Tingqu Club, and Miss Wu was forcibly taken away by the two. I saw with my own eyes that they tied Miss Wu up with ropes and forced her into the carriage. My girl was struggling the whole time, and I even heard her cry for help!"
