On the second day after the five princes and Li Xuewei got married, a murder occurred in the Li family, and Li Chengxuan, the eldest lord of the Li Mansion, returned from a night stay, and accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned because he was drunk.

It was not until the early morning of the second day that the body of Master Li was found in the lotus pond.

Li Cheng fainted on the spot, and the Li family was also in chaos.

Li Chengxuan is Prime Minister Li Cheng's sister-in-law and eldest son, and the future heir, now that he is so dead, the Li Mansion lacks a direct heir, and for so many years, Li Chengxuan is the most outstanding person in the Li Mansion, and now that he has died, so much effort before the Li family has been in vain.

All sides were deplored to hear the news.

Li Xuewei even ran back to the Li Mansion despite the newlywed Yan'er.

The emperor thanked him for his filial piety and never made it difficult, and the five princes even came to the Li family in person to organize a funeral for the Li family.

For a while, it received a lot of praise, after all, it is always unlucky for the newlywed Yan'er to encounter this kind of thing, but the fifth prince has never shown the slightest dissatisfaction, otherwise he will do everything himself, this action has gained the favor of many courtiers.

Li Chengxuan's death, Lu Qingrong only learned about it at noon.

Originally, the people in the Xuanguo Mansion wanted to hide her and prevent her from being too emotional, but in the end, Lu Qingrong still knew about it.

"Miss is so good, this wicked man is finally dead."

Xin Yang said happily.

Lu Qingrong was not happy, "What's so good about this?" ”

Li Chengxuan is dead, so it is unknown whether he harmed his parents.

It's just that Lu Qingrong always had doubts in his heart, whether this Li Chengxuan's death was too strange, after all, it was the eldest master of the Li family, and there were people around him.

All the wealthy families in Beijing, and those who have a little family background will basically have secret guards around them to protect them.

How could Li Chengxuan suddenly fall into the lotus pond?

There's no way no one showed up to save him!

If it was really an accident, it could only mean that someone had disposed of the secret guards around him in advance.

So no one knew about him when he fell into the lotus pond, so it was murder and not an accident.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh decadently, he originally made Li Chengxuan fall into the abyss under the pretext of borrowing the He family, but now that he is dead, all those previous thoughts have been in vain.

And people are already dead, and the truth of many things is unknown.

It's a pretty bad feeling.

And she has a hunch that this matter is not so simple, and it is likely that there will be follow-up events.

The Li family.

Li Xuewei returned to Li's house crying, and there was a wail, and Li Chengxuan had been put into the coffin.

Li Xuewei cried a lot in the mourning hall, and then cheered up and ran to the study.

There was someone in front of the door of the study, but Li Xuewei insisted on going in, and the people of the Li family naturally did not dare to move.

Li Xuewei rushed in, but saw Prime Minister Li Cheng slumped on the Taishi chair.

"Grandfather."

When Prime Minister Li Chengwei saw Li Xuewei coming back, he frowned at first, but then he thought of something and sighed.

Seeing Prime Minister Li like this, Li Xuewei felt quite uncomfortable.

"How could grandfather be like this? Obviously yesterday was fine, how could I find my father's body in the lotus pond today, what did those secret guards do to eat? ”

At that time, things happened so fast that Prime Minister Li Cheng fainted after looking at it, but after waking up, he also cleared up these clues.

"The guards are dead, too."

Li Xuewei was surprised, "How is it possible?" There are as many as eight secret guards around my father, but they are the largest number in the house, and those secret guards are all people with skills, how can they be killed silently? Who did it? ”

Li Chengxiang's eyes suddenly showed a lot of light, and his wrinkled fists were clenched tightly.

"After your father died today, I sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of those secret guards, and found their bodies outside the city, leaving no traces at the scene, but the people who patrolled the city last night found that there were people in the Jiang family last night, and there were quite a few of them."

The Jiang family?

Isn't that Lu Qingrong's maternal grandfather's house?

Could it be that his father's life and death are related to the Jiang family and Lu Qingrong.

Li Xuewei remembered the incident of Mrs. Feng two days ago, and she felt a little weak in her heart, and she didn't dare to think about it.

That Nie Jingyang loved her so much that he did not hesitate to kill her father for her.

If that were the case, wouldn't she have killed her father?

Prime Minister Li looked at Li Xuewei's gloomy face, thinking that he was overly sad, and he didn't care.

"Actually, there is one thing I haven't told you, Lu Qingrong's parents were killed by your father back then, so most of the cold reception your father received during this time was related to Lu Qingrong, this time, she was even more frustrated, taking advantage of your wedding night to attack your father, in order to take revenge and avenge her parents?"

Prime Minister Li regretted that he had known this earlier, and he would definitely settle this matter properly.

will not let Li Chengxuan die.

Li Xuewei's heart suddenly turned into monstrous anger.

It turned out to be Lu Qingrong.

"Grandfather, what you said is true, it was Lu Qingrong who killed my father."

"Although there is no empirical evidence, it is an ironclad fact that most of the people of the Jiang family are transferred, and if you think about it, who in the entire capital dares to break ground on the head of our Li family? Both of these points are in line with the Jiang family. ”

Prime Minister Li Cheng paused, his voice was a little hoarse, "You can quietly kill the secret guard next to your father, the other party must also be a skilled person, the second master of the Jiang family has the shield of Tianlei Villa behind him, and he will definitely be able to do this, so it seems that it must be the Jiang family." ”

Li Xuewei's face turned hideous.

Lu Qingrong first robbed her beloved, and now killed her father, and picked her on her wedding night.

It is clear that she is demonstrating with her, and if she does not take revenge, she is a daughter in vain.

Originally, Li Xuewei planned to stop being an enemy of Lu Qingrong for the sake of Nie Jingyang's face, but now she actually killed her father.

This revenge cannot go unavenged.

"Since my grandfather has determined that the Jiang family did it, then we must not sit still, and we should let the emperor make the decision for us."

Prime Minister Li closed his eyes and shook his head.

"There is no direct evidence of this matter, how can you tell the emperor? Even if you tell the emperor, it's useless. ”

Li Xuewei became anxious, "But grandfather, do you just let them do whatever they want?" Today they killed my father, will they kill me tomorrow, will they kill my grandfather? This Lu Qingrong relied on the support of someone behind her, and became more and more unscrupulous, if she was allowed to develop like this, I was afraid that our Li family would become her bag, and her granddaughter felt that she would not give up if she did not kill all the people of our Li family. ”
