The knock on the door in the early morning rang out, and I opened the door without hesitation, and Xue Maoling stood outside the door in a daze.

After only one night's work, his spirit was a little weak, his eyes were deep red and dull, and I couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Can you let me in?" He asked in a calm tone, standing still.

"Okay."

He walked inside with the potion, then picked up the spoon and stirred it, handed the potion, and made a "please" gesture.

I wondered what was different for him today, so I picked up the medicine and asked, "Say it."

"I'll talk about it when you're done drinking it first!" His words were simple and clear, and seemingly non-negotiable.

Mustering up the courage to take a few bites, his face was still painful, and he handed over the glass candy again, only to relieve the bitterness in his mouth a little.

"Say it quickly!" I couldn't help asking.

His gaze gradually moved to my face, deep and depressed, I swallowed my saliva and strengthened myself to ask, "You say it, I can accept it!"

"The housekeeper of the Fengyang faction committed suicide last night."

I looked incredulous, stood up excitedly, and instantly collapsed to the ground.

Xue Maoling rushed over and hugged me, I felt that what he said was not a lie, tears came out of my eyes, I hammered his back angrily, and cried exhaustedly: "I want to see him, I want to see him!"

"It's too late!" He hugged me desperately, his voice trembling.

I was stunned, tilted my head and looked at him coldly, puzzled, "What did you say?"

There was a deep sense of loss in his eyes, and he only said: "The government has taken away his corpse, and he can't see it anymore!"

"Suicide? Why did he kill himself? I clenched my fists tightly and asked sharply.

"I'll find out everything, you wait for me." He clapped my hand and turned away.

The room was instantly silent, and I sat blankly, like a lifeless puppet.

"Second Miss, Uncle ......" I looked at my panicked face, looked out the door again, and rushed out of the door before I had time to think about it.

Pingyi followed behind him and shouted anxiously: "Second Miss, slow down!"

"It's not good, it's from the government!" Pingyi quickly pulled me aside and watched Xue Maoling confront them from a distance.

"Young Master Xue, it's not that I mean to embarrass you, it's just that the second lady of the Fengyang faction is now your wife, and if there is something about the Fengyang faction, I have to come to the door to ask, please forgive me if you disturb me!"

Xue Maoling said calmly: "My wife has been married to me for a long time, how can she know about the Fengyang faction, if the official is free, he should go elsewhere to search for evidence, how can he waste his time here with me."

They slowly snorted, and then responded with a smile: "It seems that Young Master Xue refuses to let your lady come out and ask, then I'm welcome!"

Xue Maoling's eyes lit up, and he was about to put on a confrontation posture, when my chest surged violently, and I was so uncomfortable.

"Stop!" I stood up and walked firmly to Xue Maoling's side step by step.

"I'm the second lady of the Fengyang faction!"

I looked at Pingyi who was one step ahead in shock, and she stood in front of me with a loud shout, and explained with a fearless face.

The officers and soldiers looked like they had broken through the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and immediately grabbed her arm and backhanded, grinning in pain.

I hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, Xue Maoling quickly left me behind, drew his sword and pointed it at the other party's chest, and said sharply: "I see who dares to move, although no one in the Xue family is an official, but after all, my grandfather is Jing Zhaoyin, and he was also fortunate to be the emperor's teacher, and there are many protégés, do you dare to guarantee that no one is your top boss?" If there is a murder in my Xue family today, I will scatter all my family wealth and ask the capital to let you and others be buried with me! ”

These people looked at them coldly, didn't dare to move forward, and then showed a fierce look in their eyes, pushed Pingyi to the ground, and said angrily: "Let's go, let's go somewhere else!"

They turned to leave, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help Pingyi, but at this moment her face turned pale, and she trembled all over her body and did not forget to ask me: "Is the second lady okay?"

I shook my head, held her hand and responded, "I'm fine, I've affected you, I'll help you go back to rest."

Xue Maoling held my shoulder, turned around and shouted, "Close the door tightly, you can't let a fly in!"
