Soon, the old butler rushed over upon hearing the sound. When he saw Lu Lingyuan, his expression was complicated for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. "I don't know what's the reason for Young Marshal Lu's arrival. If it's to buy clothes for the family members of the family, our shop has newly launched several excellent materials. You can take a look at them." The old butler smiled, but secretly in his heart Thinking about the purpose of his trip.

"Really? I don't know if you still have this kind of fabric." Lu Lingyuan waved his hand, and Adjutant Zhang took out the rag that was torn from Kong Qi's body with a wink.

When the old housekeeper took a look, he immediately understood that there was something in his words. "What's the matter with the young commander, you might as well move to the inner hall, so we can explain it clearly."

"That's exactly what I meant." Naturally, Lu Lingyuan didn't want to embarrass them, so he followed the old housekeeper to the inner hall. The two sat opposite each other, and a servant poured him a cup of tea.

"Why did you come here today, you might as well tell me directly." The old butler cut to the chase, because he knew very well that Lu Lingyuan would not be the kind of person who beat around the bush.

"I don't know what to call the butler." Lu Lingyuan said leisurely.

"Next week Lin, you can call me Butler Zhou." The old butler looked indifferent.

"Okay." Lu Lingyuan nodded. "Last time when there was a turmoil in Jijiabu Village, we have already discovered the flaws of the people behind the scenes."

"Isn't Zhang Sihai the person behind the scenes?" The old housekeeper's face was full of puzzlement.

"Does Steward Zhou really think so?" Lu Lingyuan raised his eyebrows, and his words were more probing.He knew very well that this matter could not be done by the Ji family, but why did he pretend to be stupid, or in other words, did he know something.

"I'm old, and I only know how to be alone, and I won't inquire about what I shouldn't inquire about. This way, there are only advantages and no disadvantages." The old housekeeper didn't want to get involved.

"Really? But I don't think Steward Zhou is the kind of person who is afraid of getting into trouble." Lu Lingyuan thought that he had a good eye for seeing people.

"Maybe it's because people will settle down when they get older." The old housekeeper still didn't feel strange at all.

"The last time Zhang Sihai's target was clearly Ji's family, it means that the other party has murdered Ji's family. The Lu family is just an innocent victim. Now that they have locked the target, they will not give up easily. Steward Zhou said that he must be alone. I don't know who is kind." Lu Lingyuan's words made the old housekeeper's expression change, and he no longer had the calmness he had before. "If you want to learn to calm things down, people may not know how to let go. Escape is never the best choice to solve problems." Seeing that the other party's attitude has loosened, he continued.

"To be honest, I tore this piece of cloth from that man's body, and someone told me that this cloth is only available in your Ji family." Lu Lingyuan looked at him.

The old butler was silent for a while, then raised his head and let out a long breath. "This cloth is indeed from our Ji family, and only the Ji family can make it, but there are quite a few people who bought it. If the young commander investigates this aspect, he will undoubtedly find a needle in a haystack."

"Really? Even if I investigate every family, I still have to find out who that person is. I can't take a single grain of sand in my eyes." How could he let it go so easily if he dared to hit the Commander's office with his idea.

Butler Zhou knew that he couldn't influence his thoughts, so he didn't continue to persuade him, but walked over, took the rag and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Although this cloth is plain, But there are not many people who are able to embroider gold thread on it, I can check it from this aspect and narrow the scope, but that is all I can help you with." After thinking about it, the old housekeeper chose to compromise, because He understood that what Lu Lingyuan said was not unreasonable.

"This is enough." Lu Lingyuan said.

"I don't know if there are any other clues besides this." The old butler continued to ask.

"Of course there are." Lu Lingyuan waved his hand, and Adjutant Zhang immediately handed over a dagger, which was the one left by Kong Qi at the scene.

The old butler held the dagger in his hand, looked at the ornamentation on it, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. His hands trembled a little, but he quickly hid his emotions well.When he looked up again, his face was already calm. "There's nothing special about this dagger." He said and handed the thing to Adjutant Zhang.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Lu Lingyuan nodded politely, got up and walked outside.

"Young Marshal Lu." The old housekeeper called out behind him.

Lu Lingyuan turned his head, his deep eyes made it impossible to distinguish between emotions and anger, and it was also impossible to see his inner thoughts clearly.

"If you need the place of Jijiabuzhuang in the future, just come and let me know." This is Zhou Lin's promise, and what he says always counts.

"Thank you." Lu Lingyuan smiled back and walked out.

"Really, I didn't expect to gain something, and it turned out to be a waste of work." Adjutant Zhang followed behind Lu Lingyuan, muttering cautiously.

"How could there be no harvest." Lu Lingyuan slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.

"The steward Zhou asked three questions and didn't know. He was really a mediocre person." Adjutant Zhang was still dissatisfied with Zhou Lin. Maybe he thought Ji's house was a breakthrough from the beginning, but he didn't expect his hope to fail in the end.

"How do you know he doesn't know anything?" Lu Lingyuan sneered.The footsteps did not stop at all.

"What does the young commander mean, is he hiding something in his heart?" Hearing what he said, Adjutant Zhang couldn't help but feel agitated.

"If a person has too many things in his heart, sooner or later he will be overwhelmed." Lu Lingyuan looked at the cloudless sky above his head, thoughtful, it seems that this Ji family is really It's very mysterious.

After Lu Lingyuan left, Zhou Lin fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head. The sadness in his eyes was beyond words. Unexpectedly, after so many years, they still refused to let go, and they had to make trouble to the point of death. It seems that this time, he couldn't Back down again.

"What? Isn't Young Master Lu here?" Zhou Yan felt a little strange when he heard Xiao Zhuang say that, it was a new thing. "Has anyone come to see me today?"

"Yes, Mr. Ji who came that day." When this person was mentioned, Xiao Zhuang looked very excited.

"Really? Where is he?" Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Ling Xuan to come to him so blatantly, and he wasn't afraid that the Lu family would notice something wrong.

"Mr. Ji and Miss Ji are in the garden." Xiao Zhuang pointed in the direction of the garden.

"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded, walked over, and sure enough, he saw Lu Jiaojiao and Ji Lingxuan who were talking in the garden.He deliberately walked over with light steps, wanting to hear what the two of them were saying, but Ji Lingxuan spotted him before he got close.

Ji Lingxuan turned his head, and when he saw it was him, there was a warm smile in his cold eyes. "Mr. Zhou."

"Did I disturb you?" Zhou Yan stood there, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm here to look for you." Ji Lingxuan didn't save Lu Jiaojiao the slightest bit of face.But Lu Jiaojiao didn't care too much, after all, her mind was not on Ji Lingxuan.

"Mr. Ji, what's the matter?" Zhou Yan pretended not to understand, wanting to see what he could make up.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou is an apprentice of a famous teacher. There are some things that I naturally want to ask for advice." Ji Lingxuan said this very naturally, as if he really came to ask the teacher.

On the other hand, Lu Jiaojiao didn't seem to understand, she didn't realize how annoying she was at the moment.Because in her eyes, it was full of Zhou Yan's face.

"Mr. Ji, you're being polite. I'm not very talented, so I don't deserve your advice." Zhou Yan still exchanged greetings, and then took a deep look at Lu Jiaojiao.

At this time, even if Lu Jiaojiao was indifferent, it was time to see why, so Lu Jiaojiao smiled embarrassedly. "I still have something to do, let's leave first." After speaking, he walked out of the garden.

As soon as she walked out of the garden arch, someone beside her suddenly dragged her over. Before Lu Jiaojiao could cry out in surprise, someone covered her mouth. She was relieved when she saw who was coming.

The second aunt let go of her hand covering her mouth, with a look of hatred on her face.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Lu Jiaojiao was taken aback.

The second aunt gave her an angry look, and pulled her aside again. "You don't live up to your expectations. You don't make good use of such a good opportunity. I really don't know who you are like."

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Jiaojiao couldn't understand the second aunt's thoughts for a while.

"What a good young talent Ji Lingxuan was, not much better than that trash Ji Boyan. You didn't find the right opportunity to catch him, but instead stared stupidly at a poor teacher. Are you stupid?" The aunt found out that her daughter was really stupid, and she didn't know how to grasp the opportunities that came before her.

"I don't like that Ji Lingxuan." Lu Jiaojiao said unwillingly.

"It's against you. I don't like Ji Lingxuan. Could it be that I like Zhou Yan, that sick child? I think he looks so sick. He can't live for three years. You still want to be a widow." The second aunt spoke. Come on, it's not bad manners at all.

Her words made Lu Jiaojiao's brows furrow deeper and deeper. "Mom, what are you talking about? Zhou Yan is just a little weaker, why curse him? Besides, how much do you know about that Ji Lingxuan? Zhou Yan has put his life on the line to save me many times. In my opinion, he is better than that Ji Lingxuan." I don't know how many times stronger."

"But he Zhou Yan has nothing. If you stay with him, you will definitely suffer." How could the second aunt see her daughter who had worked hard to raise her with such a poor man.

"Whoever said that feelings must be mixed with interests, I just want to find someone who loves me." Lu Jiaojiao couldn't agree with the second aunt's approach. In her opinion, she already had Zhou Yan in her heart and said that it would be okay. Will love others again.

"Do you think your father will let you be together?" The second aunt snorted too coldly, thinking that she was completely delusional.

"Father won't let us be together, so I'll go to look for elder brother. If elder brother agrees, Zhou Yan and I will definitely be together." Lu Jiaojiao said firmly.
