Seeing that Xuanyuan Yu had left, Liu Mei, Yang Liu, and the rest all followed after her. Snowy brought the child with her as she sobbed.

Xuanyuan Yu glanced at it for a moment before saying to Xue'er, "Xue'er, bring Little Snow down to rest."

Xue'er agreed before leaving with Snowy and the child.

Xuanyuan Yu walked straight towards the woodshed.

The butler was already shackled. Xuanyuan Yu walked in step by step. Ye Zichen glared at the steward.

The steward looked at her with wide eyes, "You, what do you want to do?"

Xuanyuan Yu said nothing, only faintly smiled.

The bamboo basket was giving out orders to the people who were preparing the brazier prepared. The flames on the brazier were extremely large. As soon as he moved in, the temperature in the room rose. Xuanyuan Yu picked up the piece of metal and lightly smiled.

The butler looked at the fire iron and felt his legs go soft.

Xuanyuan Yu took the fire iron and approached the butler step by step. When he was just a few centimeters away from the butler.

The steward shouted, "You! Whatever you want, as long as I know, I will tell you!" He could already feel the heat of the fire even before it reached his body. It even melted his hair, as if he could already smell the charred smell of his own flesh.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at him and indifferently said, "You only have one chance. "If I am satisfied, I will let you go. If I know that you have lied to me, this is what will happen to you."

The steward swallowed his saliva. "You — I am the steward of the old master, you can't do that to me, you can't lynch." The moment the words left his mouth, he immediately regretted it. The old master had just been captured. Even if he had randomly used his private life to deal with Madame Li, even if he died in the end, no one would question him, much less an insignificant butler like him.

Xuanyuan Yu's willow-shaped eyebrows furiously glared, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Don't waste my time. He told the bamboo basket, "Take good care of him." Saying so, he prepared to walk out, but he was one step away from stepping over the fence.

The butler called out to her loudly, "Miss, ask, ask. As long as I know, I will say it out loud."

Xuanyuan Yu did not turn back. He only spat out a few words, "What does my mother's death have to do with Xuanyuan Zhi?" He remembered that Lady Li and Xuanyuan Zhi had said that his mother's death was related to Xuanyuan Zhi, but she did not know the specifics.

The butler sighed. He said slowly, "Actually, Master added Su Ye Hong to Aunt Liu's dishes."

What." Xuanyuan Yu suddenly turned her head. She had seen a lot of medical skills and knew that Su Ye Hong would not have any side effects if an ordinary person ate her, but if a pregnant woman ate her. It will clog up life. The more he ate, the more solid it became. This was also why when the time came for the mother to have a difficult birth, the midwife Li had no other choice but to go find Grandma Wang. They were a real couple. Together, they killed my mother.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yu's reaction, the butler could only lower his head helplessly.

Xuanyuan Yu thought about it and felt that it was wrong. If Madame Li was jealous, then what about Xuanyuan Zhi? What reason did he have to kill my mother? Even if he doesn't love my mother anymore, my mother is still a daughter of the Prime Minister's house. No matter what, she became his concubine. Why must you treat my mother to death?

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were bloodthirsty, "Tell me, why did Xuanyuan Zhi kill my mother? "Speak."

The butler was frightened by Xuanyuan Yu's gaze. However, he didn't dare to say who it was.

Xuanyuan Yu's entire body was filled with hostility and could no longer resist. He picked up the fire iron and burned the butler's heart.

The steward looked up to the sky and shouted, "Ahhh!"

Xuanyuan Yu coldly looked at him, "Are you going to say or not?"

The butler's face was pale. She was biting her lip, her eyes were lifeless, and there was a huge mark on her chest, but she refused to say it. If he did, it would not only be him, but his eighty-year-old mother as well. He had a broken sleeve. He had no wife or children in his life. Mother, it looks like your son is going to die. No matter what, I have to protect my mother's life. But the man she loved, she could no longer see him.

Xuanyuan Yu nodded at the bamboo basket. He then left the room. She didn't know if he would say it, but she would do everything she could to get him to confess.

Xuanyuan Yu returned to the Dream Pavilion and waited for the news.

An afternoon passed. The bamboo basket walked in.

Xuanyuan Yu was drinking her tea and seeing her walk in, she asked, "Did he say anything?"

The bamboo basket raised its head and stole a glance at Xuanyuan Yu before saying, "He already bit his tongue to commit suicide."

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were wide open, filled with shock. He was even more confused. What did this mean? If there was no one behind him, as long as he did not admit to it, then everything would be fine. If there was someone behind him, then his influence must be very strong.

Xuanyuan Yu turned her head over and said to the bamboo basket, "Go check on the family background of the butler."

"Yes." The bamboo basket complied and then walked out.

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes narrowed. No matter who it is, I will drag you out.

The bamboo basket was called up by Liu Mei.

Liu Mei found out where the housekeeper lived in less than two minutes. He didn't know if the steward would ask, but after asking, he found out that the steward was usually very low-key and never mentioned anyone in the family.

Liu Mei frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "I was just asking about someone who stayed in the mansion for dozens of years, but no one knew who lived in his house, where, and took me two minutes. I miscalculated, miscalculated."

The bamboo basket smiled and shook its head at her words.

The two of them went to the outskirts of the city and found a house.

Liu Mei nodded: "This guy is rather filial."

The bamboo basket nodded in agreement and tied the horse outside. The two of them walked in.

There was a yard inside, and it was very quiet. There was a small pond, and the whole place was very beautiful. As he walked further in, he saw an old woman holding a kitten in her arms, blowing comfortably in the night wind.

The bamboo basket indifferently asked, "May I ask if this old grandma is staying at Steward Bai's residence?"

The old lady stopped and turned around to look at the two young ladies. She was as beautiful as a painting. And then, a warm smile bloomed on his face: "Yes, you know my son."

The bamboo basket and Liu Mei looked at each other.

Liu Mei smiled and said, "Yes, Butler Bai and I are from the same house. Master wants me to see who else is in Butler Bai's house. Do you need any help?"

The smile on the Old Granny's face became even wider, "The Old Master in your house is a good person. I often hear my son mention it, and he always tells me about the Old Master. It's a pity that he's still unmarried and has no children. What I want most is for him to get married. I can hold a fat white grandson, and I don't have to hold a kitten. " As he spoke, he continued to stroke the kitten.

Liu Mei and the bamboo basket looked at each other with suspicion.

Suddenly, he heard a sound.

The bamboo basket had just flown over.

Liu Mei was pushed into the river by the black clothed man.

Liu Mei plopped down hard in the river.

The bamboo basket was startled and immediately flew into the small pond. He pulled Liu Mei with all his might. Although the water in the pond wasn't deep, the soil was very deep. If a person were to sink in, they would die without a doubt.

The bamboo basket had just pulled Liu Mei up. Suddenly, he heard a miserable scream.

The bamboo basket turned around. He saw that his grandma had been stabbed to death from behind.

Bamboo Basket was shocked. "Grandma!"

Liu Mei also got up from the ground and ran in the direction of the old granny.

The bamboo basket waved in front of her nose and then she looked at Liu Mei in pain.

The two of them fell silent.

Dreamscape Pavilion:

Liu Mei and the bamboo basket walked in dejectedly. Xuanyuan Yu saw that their expressions were off. He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Liu Mei and the bamboo basket looked at each other sorrowfully, and only after a long while did the bamboo basket say: "The old granny was killed."

Xuanyuan Yu also opened her eyes wide. He then narrowed his eyes. This matter seemed to become increasingly more complicated.

Xuanyuan Yu sat down from her new seat and looked at the bamboo basket and Liu Mei. "Tell me everything that happened today clearly."

The bamboo basket looked at Xuanyuan Yu's fixated expression and also furrowed its brows. "Yes." Just like today, he had encountered every single word that the grandma said. There were also the black-clothed men he met.

The more Xuanyuan Yu listened, the more her eyebrows wrinkled.

This person's influence was extremely great. The steward had initially hoped that he could protect his old mother once he died, but in the end, he was killed in the end. Just who was it that was so vicious? Just who was it that wouldn't even let an old man go? This meant that this person understood Xuanyuan Zhi very well. He even knew about the people around him and the house of a butler. Who was this person? Why did he have to kill his mother? Did he have some grudge with his mother? After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan was still unable to come up with a solution.

Xuanyuan Yu said again, "You should bury this old lady and the housekeeper as well!"

The two of them replied, "Yes."

Suddenly hearing the child's crying, Xuanyuan Yu turned around and looked at the two of them, Xiao Xue and Xue'er, coaxing the child. Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled. The two of them really did fit in.

Xuanyuan Yu also walked over and did not look at the children. She did not like children and had experienced too many things when she was young, especially the deaths of several small animals, which had dealt too much of a blow to Xuanyuan Yu. As a result, she did not dare to entrust her feelings to these people and animals, because it was too unreliable and because she was afraid of losing them.

Snowy bowed.

Xuanyuan Yu waved her hand, "There's no need to bow anymore. What do you plan to do in the future?!"

Xiao Xue hugged the child, coaxing while calmly saying, "I want to bring him back to my hometown. Mother and I are very happy at home, I hope that we can raise him into an adult. Nothing is more important than him." As he spoke, his eyes exuded the care and concern of a loving mother.

Xuanyuan Yu was a little moved. She had never known what "mother" felt before, so she carelessly said, "Then when do you plan to leave?"

Snowy smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I've already rented all the carriages. We can leave tomorrow. "

Xue'er said in surprise, "That fast?"

Snowy nodded.

Xue'er looked at the child in her arms, a little reluctant.

Xuanyuan Yu softly replied, "Okay, when we're leaving tomorrow, let me know."

Snowy bowed towards Xuanyuan Yu. "Snowy, thank you, Miss Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan Yu lightly smiled and walked out.
