It was almost dusk at this moment, but the orange-yellow sunlight was extremely dazzling on Ye Yufu's face, she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, looked at Wu Wei with a hesitant look on her eyebrows, and asked again: "Why?" ”

Before Wu Wei could answer, bursts of crying came from the direction of the main hall of the Song Mansion, and the cries were wave after wave, with men's voices and women's voices.

Ye Yufu finally couldn't hold back, dodged away from Wu Wei who was blocking in front, lifted her skirt and quickly walked towards the source of the cry. Smoke followed.

Wu Wei knew that he could not stop him, so he kept following Ye Yufu, and the moment before stepping into the threshold of the main hall, Wu Wei said: "Princess, you have to be mentally prepared to mourn and change." ”

The area of the main hall is not large, and the people of the Song Mansion, from Song Chen to the small house, all knelt on the ground in unison, and Mrs. Song, who was sitting on the main seat, was trembling violently, and her lips were pursed tightly with her eyes closed.

Ye Yufu stood at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, at this time, the personal maid next to Mrs. Song looked up and saw Ye Yufu hurriedly lowered her head and said a few words in Mrs. Song's ear.

Mrs. Song opened her eyes and waved her hand at Ye Yufu, her voice seemed to have become ten years old overnight, and she was hoarse and unpleasant, coughing a few times from time to time: "Fu'er, come to grandmother's side." ”

"Yan'er, go to the small kitchen and stew a cup of rock sugar pears, remember to boil it for a while, and give it to your grandmother to eat later." Ye Yufu whispered to Yan'er, and walked to Mrs. Song from an empty place on the right side of the main hall where no one was kneeling.

Mrs. Song put her palms on the small square table at this moment, staring at the kneeling people below with hatred, and her cough became more and more violent. Ye Yufu hurriedly took two steps.

When Mrs. Song saw Ye Yufu coming, she nodded weakly and asked her to sit on another empty wooden chair next to her, but Ye Yufu did not sit down, but straightened Mrs. Song's back.

Frowning at the group of people below who didn't dare to raise their heads, he said softly to Mrs. Song, "Grandmother, what's wrong." ”

Mrs. Song coughed again as soon as she heard a word, and the personal maid on the side hurriedly handed over a cup of tea when she saw this, and then said in Ye Yufu's ear with a sad face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, actually... Be... The lord went. ”

Ye Yufu couldn't believe what she heard: "How could it be... Isn't it okay to be sick with my grandfather, who was still in good spirits yesterday..."

The maid looked at Mrs. Song, who closed her eyes and was calm, and her voice was a little lower: "Master... The old man didn't know who pushed him in the study, and then hit his head on the corner of the table... By the time someone sees it, it's... Not anymore. ”

Ye Yufu's face turned pale with a brush, and she grabbed the corner of the maid's clothes and said in disbelief: "How is this possible!" ”

The maid's voice slowly brought some crying: "Princess... It's true. The slave hopes that you can persuade Madame well, and you will cross your body in this way. ”

Ye Yufu's heart was filled with great sadness. I don't feel wet in my eyes. Although I haven't met my grandfather a few times, I still remember that every time we met, he would take some rare objects outside the palace to play with for himself. My grandfather looked serious and unapproachable, but he was a very affectionate person.

A living person, who was talking to himself yesterday, can no longer open his eyes today. She is so sad now, let alone her grandmother, who has been with her grandfather for decades.

She gently wiped away her tears, staring at the people below who were all crying with their heads down, and her eyes gradually cooled. The man who killed my grandfather was among them, still crying in a false way.

Ye Yufu asked the maid: "Are there all suspicious people down here, why are even my uncle's family still down there." ”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "The slave and maid don't know, these people are all found by the lady." ”

Ye Yufu looked at her grandmother, who still had a tense face, and reached over to hold her slightly trembling hand. This is a very strong woman who can hold her nerve even after losing the person she loves the most.

"This bad news, you have to let your mother know, you quickly find someone to inform the palace." Ye Yufu tilted her head and instructed the maid.

"Grandmother, go and rest, if you want to trust me, I'll take care of all the things here. I'm sure to find out who killed my grandfather. ”

Mrs. Song has now reached the point where her eyes turn black as soon as she opens her eyes, and she can only control it with her best ability not to faint.

Hearing Ye Yufu speak, he slowly opened his eyes, his voice was sad, and the words were almost squeezed out of his throat: "I'll take another look at the master, and I'll leave it to you first, Fu'er, you will definitely find out the beast who murdered the master!" ”

"Good!" Ye Yufu's tone was firm.

After sending Mrs. Song away, Ye Yufu called Wu Wei in from outside the door: "General Wu, I am not in the palace at the moment, this happened to the Song Mansion again, and I hope you can help me find out the murderer." ”

What Ye Yufu said to Mrs. Song just now was unsure. After all, there are a huge number of people in this Song Mansion, and there is no evidence yet, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the murderer, and the people in the palace will not come so quickly. So the only thing I can rely on at the moment is Wu Wei, who doesn't seem to be very reliable.

Wu Wei is not like the smiling appearance before, but a serious face, what Ye Yufu doesn't know is that Wu Wei's nickname in the army is "Smiling Tiger" on weekdays, he looks like he laughs at everyone, but when he really encounters things, he is as fierce as a tiger.

Therefore, he can become a deputy general second only to Yu Baiyi, and most of the people in the army play the role of military advisor.

Wu Wei naturally agreed to Ye Yufu's request, and said: "Song Shangshu is an upright person, and he has been an official in the court for many years, so even if the emperor knows this news, I am afraid that he will be angry, but the most important thing for the princess at the moment is to block this news and not let outsiders know." ”

Ye Yufu frowned and thought for a moment and said, "That's right, the mansion must be closed today, and no one in the mansion can be allowed to go out." This is a big deal, and you can't be sloppy. ”

Wu Wei nodded: "I have already notified a few of my subordinates to seal off the front and back doors of the Song Mansion, and even a mosquito will not fly out of the Song Mansion today." ”

Wu Wei paused and continued: "Then the princess, let's start the trial." ”

The two of them sat in the main seat, and Ye Yufu first spoke to the people below: "Let's all look up." ”

The people below looked up when they heard this, and then almost everyone's eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Song Chen, the second aunt and Song Yue at the bottom got up as if they were relaxed when they saw Ye Yufu talking. And the eldest lady Han and Song Jing were still kneeling on the ground and crying.

Song Chen was the first to speak: "Fu'er..." As soon as he said two words, Wu Wei, who was sitting next to Ye Yufu, had a fierce look in his eyes, and his right hand slapped heavily on the solid mahogany table, and the teacup on the table was also shocked and almost fell to the ground.

Song Chen was even more frightened, and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly, thanks to the second aunt behind her who quickly blocked it with her body.

Ye Yufu's face was displeased: "Uncle, I just told you to raise your heads, and I didn't allow you to get up." ”

The second aunt interjected at this time: "What the princess said, how can we be the same as the next generation, and it is even more impossible to harm our father!" Don't you believe your aunt and uncle? ”

Song Yue also echoed beside her: "Mother said yes! Princess, we are all a family, how can we doubt the truth of our family. ”

The second aunt is spicy and tricky, she married into the Song Mansion with the Han family as a dowry maid, and for so many years, she has climbed up to the position of the aunt step by step by her own means, and also gave birth to a son, and the Han family and her daughter are just soft persimmons, and she didn't look at it at all.

Ye Yufu didn't like it when she saw the second aunt for the first time last night, after all, she has lived in the palace for more than ten years, and she has seen a lot of people like the second aunt.

So her face suddenly turned cold, and her voice was not as weak as that, but rather majestic: "You all kneel." ”

The second aunt was obviously shocked, she thought that this Ye Yufu was just a delicate girl raised in the deep palace, but she didn't expect that there would be such a majestic scene.

She looked at Song Chen on the side, and there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Song Chen was quite unhappy at the moment, when would it be his turn to educate this teenage girl.

"Fu'er, how can you talk to us like that. Is that what your mother taught you in the palace? ”

Ye Yufu listened to Song Chen's words, and didn't speak, but looked straight at her with a pair of eyes as beautiful as jewels.

Song Jing looked at Ye Yufu from the side and felt frightened, and pulled Song Chen's sleeve: "Father..."

Song Chen shook off Song Jing's hand and looked directly at Ye Yufu, but he didn't even feel furious in his heart.

Ye Yufu was silent for a long time, then looked away with a little disgust in her eyes, looked ahead and said, "Uncle is so confused, now that I am here, I have accepted my grandmother's entrustment, and I must investigate this matter thoroughly, because everyone present is suspicious." Including the three of you. ”

Song Chen was furious: "Nonsense! ”

Wu Wei snorted coldly, and the words he said seemed to be like ice ballast: "It's not up to you to say nonsense." ”

"What kind of thing are you, why do you care about our Song family's affairs." Song Chen's anger at Ye Yufu was now sprinkled on Wu Wei.

Wu Wei couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, he had long heard that the eldest young master of the Song Mansion knew to eat, drink and have fun every day, and now it seems that this is really the case, this Song Chen's current appearance is like a mad dog on the street, who bites whom.

Just about to stand up and clean him up, Ye Yufu, who was silent, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it in front of Song Chen, then stood up and looked at him fearlessly.

"Bold! Do you know who you are talking to now, I am the eldest princess of this great victory dynasty, and you are a civilian with no rank. If I tell the emperor what you said just now, you know what will happen to you. If the three of you do not kneel, it will be tantamount to disobedience. No one will be able to protect it then! ”

Song Chen was finally speechless at this moment, and the second aunt and Song Yue were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

In the end, Song Chen still knelt down tremblingly, although his face was still slowly displeased, but he was silent.

Ye Yufu sat down again, and then continued to look at the people who were kneeling on the ground.

In the middle of the night, he called up Song Jing, who was kneeling on the ground and crying silently: "Cousin Song Jing, can you take me and General Wu to the scene of the incident." ”

Song Jing listened to this before slowly stopping her shaking shoulders and nodding silently.

It happened that Yan'er came back at this time, and Ye Yufu instructed Yan'er: "I will go back with General Wu, you can't get up when you watch them here, let alone leave this house." ”
