The butler dragged the man out and told Du Zhong about the characteristics of the man in black.
Du Zhong looked doubtfully at Fourth Madame.
Fourth Concubine had been crying all this time, leaning on the maid's shoulder.
"Did you kill this person?"
"No, no." Fourth Concubine immediately shook her head. She couldn't afford to bear the responsibility of killing someone.
"Then how did you escape from him?"
"I …"
"You also hid daggers?" Du Zhong's questions made the Fourth Concubine a little flustered. Without that person's help, she was unable to continue.
When the fourth concubine was unable to answer, Mu Lingshao rushed over and said, "Master Du, I saw that your mansion is brightly lit. Would you mind if I came uninvited?"
When Fourth Aunt saw Mu Lingshao, it was as though she had seen her savior.
"What happened? Why are they all gathered here? " Mu Lingshao pushed his way through the crowd and acted surprised when he saw the black clothed man lying on the ground.
"Who is this? "He actually died in the Prime Minister's Palace?"
When Du Zhong heard this, his face turned ashen. He grabbed Fourth Madame and threw her to the ground. "Look at what you've done!"
Fourth Concubine cried and shook her head, "I didn't kill him, I really didn't kill him!"
Mu Lingshao squatted down and looked at the corpse. He stroked his chin as he pondered, "I heard that Fourth Concubine was always locked up in the dungeon. Why would you ask her about this murder case?"
Du Zhong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Mu Lingshao had repeatedly asked about his family's matters. Did he really think that he was the son in law of the Du Family?
"This is my family matter, so I will take care of it myself. I will not trouble Young Master Mu!"
However, Mu Ling Shao had always been nosy, so how could he let him go?
"Lord Prime Minister, what are you talking about? Once I marry the wooden boat, we'll be family. We don't talk about two families, so when I see this, I'll take care of it!" Mu Ling Shao said with a smile.
Since Mu Lingshao had already said this much, Du Zhong naturally did not say anything else.
"Master, the fourth concubine should have searched her body before entering the dungeon, right? How could she have brought something like a dagger with her? Did someone else in your estate do it?"
Mu Ling Shao's words caused Han Mo Xiang to be alarmed.
Du Ruyu grasped Han Mo Xiang's hand.
At that time, Du Ruanyu was afraid of some kind of mistake, so she stayed in the dungeon. But after a long time, she didn't see the assassin come out, but the fourth concubine ran out in a panic, she wanted to go in, but she waited for a while. Luckily, she didn't go in, and the person who came out at the back wasn't her person.
In order to not be exposed by the man, she took up the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into his chest. The man suddenly opened his eyes, but Du Ruanyu died in one move, the man only had time to see who killed him, and his eyes were filled with grievance!
After killing someone, Du Ruanyu immediately ran over to Han Mo Xiang's place. Luckily, Du Zhong did not stay in Han Mo Xiang's room today, so Du Ruanyu told Han Mo Xiang about what happened.
Han Moxiang started to panic. She didn't think there would be another mysterious person protecting Fourth Aunt. She assumed that this person was sent by Du Muzhou.
Fortunately, she was still prepared!
"Young Master Mu's words are wrong. We've all gone to sleep. What happened in the dungeon? It's all the Fourth Concubine talking to herself!" Han Mo Xiang said something that everyone ignored.
"Do you think I'd joke about my innocence?" Fourth Concubine shouted in anger.
Han Mo Xiang looked at Fourth Madame and said disdainfully, "That may not be the case. After all, it's not like it doesn't happen when thieves are called after!"
"You!" Fourth Concubine was so angry that her teeth hurt!
"Shut up!" Du Zhong heard the two women chattering noisily in his ear!
While everyone was in a stalemate, the butler searched the assassin's body and coincidentally found a letter, and it was even a pearl hairpin!
This letter was written by the Fourth Concubine, and the pearl hairpin was also written by the Fourth Concubine!
When Fourth Aunt saw the pearl hairpin, she had already turned pale with fright.
When Du Zhong saw the letter, his face turned even darker. He threw the letter at Fourth Aunt's face and said, "What else do you want to say?"
The Fourth Concubine quickly took out the letter and read it.
Zhang Lang, after thinking for a long time, I've decided to go with you. Bing Xuan is your child, and now that Du Zhong knows about it, I can't stay in the Du Family anymore.
The fourth concubine read the words with disbelief written all over her face. She hadn't written this at all!
"Old master, you have to believe me, I didn't write this. Someone must have deliberately mimicked me and wanted to frame me. Old master, you have to be clear about what's going on!" Fourth Concubine held Du Zhong's leg and knelt in front of him.
Mu Ling Shao was also silent. He never thought that his opponent would be so well-prepared. He actually even prepared a keepsake!
"Master, I think there's something fishy about this case."
"What other doubts do you have? One look and you can tell that she's the one shouting 'catch the thief'!" Han Mo Xiang added on.
Mu Lingshao only gave her a glance before continuing, "Firstly, Fourth Madame doesn't have a dagger and is not a murderer. Secondly, this letter came in some inexplicable way. If Fourth Aunt really wants to leave, why act out this act?"
Mu Ling's analysis was not without reason, and Du Zhong was also deep in thought.
Han Mo Xiang couldn't bear to see the good news disappear so she said, "Master, this adultery is a huge crime, it's all a disgrace to you if word of it were to spread. I think we should lock Fourth Madame up first, and then torture her to make her confess. I don't believe that Fourth Madame won't speak the truth!"
"Hmph, are you trying to force a confession? Aren't you afraid of a fight turning into a fight? What kind of rotten idea is this? " Don't think that he was unable to see through her thoughts. Wasn't he trying to kill Fourth Aunt?
Han Mo Xiang was a ruthless person. Fourth Madame had helped Du Mu Zhou once, so she was going to force him onto a dead end! It was truly hateful!
"Young Master Mu, you're wrong. If the Fourth Concubine is innocent, then she won't admit it no matter how we force her to confess. But if she has a guilty conscience, then she can't say for sure!" Du Ruyu took a step forward and accepted Mu Lingshao's words.
At first, he wanted to attract Mu Lingshao's attention, but now, he felt disgusted just by looking at her!
"Master, the madame wants you to go over. The fourth concubine is kneeling in the ancestral hall, the others should go back first." Suddenly, Hu Po walked over, looking like she was carrying an order from the madame.
Du Zhong was puzzled. What was he supposed to do at this time? But no matter what he did, he still went!
Meanwhile, Fourth Concubine was led down the ancestral hall by a servant!
Seeing that their plan had been interrupted, Han Mo Xiang and Du Ruanyu started to panic. However, they maintained their composure and returned to their rooms.
Since Mu Ling Shao's mission was completed, he would naturally return.
