Chapter 318 Unexpected

Chu Junlan smiled, turned his beautiful eyes and looked at the layout of the house clearly. Then he chose the most convenient position to escape and sat down in the official hat chair next to the window.

"Stop my anger, I have no choice but to visit the mansion many times last year, but the adults are still ill and have not seen me. I have important matters to ask, so I have to come up with this bad idea."

Yi Yuhai sat down far away from Chu Junlan and Weitan, with his back straightened, without any intention of avoiding.

Chu Junlan didn't care. There was nothing to do with that year. Besides, although the family had made a deal with her, she had no objection to know if she wanted to collect some "interest" and know something.

Yi Yu looked at Chu Junlan with a deep sea surface, his expression full of depression.

Before Chu Junlan came to the door, he had made up his mind. Once Chu Junlan crossed the border and asked something she shouldn't ask, and it was also a secret matter of the court. Even if he bit his tongue and committed suicide, he would never say a word!

"If you have anything to ask, please tell me." Yi Yu asked with a deeper surface on the sea.

Chu Junlan said: "When Lord Yi was the prefect of Shuntian, did he order the investigation of a woman who fell on the rockery and died tragically?"

Yi Yuhai's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and looked at Chu Junlan. Then he seemed to have figured out something, and there was a little more sudden on his face.

Chu Junlan said: "In the seventh year of Jinghong, Chu Lu died in his own garden. Originally, Yuan Kanghu had already discovered that the matter was suspected. At that time, a nanny named Tao might have witnessed the incident. There was also suspiciousness in the garden at the beginning. I wanted to continue to investigate, but you forced to stop it and ended the case by accident."

Chu Junlan looked directly at Yi Yuhai and said word by word: "Mr. Yi, why did you stop the investigation back then and not allow your subordinates to investigate the truth? Who are you trying to shelter?"

Yi Yuhai's face turned dark when asked, and he didn't know how she should answer.

When he was silent, Chu Junlan did not urge him. Instead, Shutan changed his seat and coughed inadvertently.

Yi Yuhai was as if he was woken up from a dream, pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Forget it. Actually, there are indeed doubts in this case. I originally planned to investigate and give the deceased a fair decision. But someone found me and ordered me to stop the investigation. I thought about it again and again and agreed to his request."

Chu Junlan's eyes sterned: "Who is it?"

"Actually, this person said that Miss Chu should recognize her." Yi Yuhai looked at Chu Junlan and said clearly: "He is Princess Yongfu Yibin, the top scholar in Yongde for 29 years, Ye Zhao!"

When Chu Junlan heard this, his face changed drastically!

No matter what, she never expected that Ye Zhao would intervene in this matter!

"No, I have some friendship with the eldest princess's mansion and I know a little about Ye Zhuangyuan back then. Shouldn't he disappear in the fourth year of Jinghong? When my mother had an accident, it was Jinghong's seventh year..."

Speaking of this, Chu Junlan himself couldn't continue.

The person disappeared, but he refused to go home or showed up in public. But now Ye Zhao is in the Great Princess's Mansion, and the man is not dead. What can he do?

Yi Yuhai said: "Ye Zhuangyuan was an editor of the Hanlin Academy at that time. Although his official position was not high, his future was limitless. Our emperor was free and easy, and he liked to value capable ministers the most in the court. No matter how high or low the official position, as long as the emperor recognized him, he would not be ashamed to ask questions when encountering problems. Therefore, Ye Zhuangyuan was very popular with the emperor at that time.

"At that time, he came to me to stop investigating the matter, and I was also confused. But Ye Zhuangyuan was not a rude person. He was of great character and had a chore that could secretly do something for the emperor so that he could not go home. He would not ask people to do things at will without reason. Therefore, he ordered the investigation to stop, and there must be his reasons, which must be for the sake of the overall situation. So I thought about it and chose to obey his arrangements."

Chu Junlan's fair hands clenched into fists. She was not ignorant of the world and pretending to be innocent. It was because she had seen too much darkness and filth that she could understand what Yi Yuhai said more.

Different positions and different things are naturally different. The dead person is not Yi Yuhai's mother, so he certainly will not advocate justice.

But how innocent is Lu? How innocent is the child without a mother!

Chu Junlan is not a nonsense person. He also knows that Yi Yuhai trusts Ye Zhao, attaches importance to the overall situation and allows an ordinary woman to die in an unknown way, but the anger in his heart burns, making Chu Junlan wish he could rush up and grab Yi Yuhai's collar and shake it hard. Why, isn't he the Master Qingtian? Why did he make an innocent lady die in vain?

Weitan stood up, stepped forward and blocked Chu Junlan and Yi Yuhai as if there was nothing.

"Miss Chu, what you want to ask has been answered, and our transaction is over. Please go back."

Chu Junlan stood up and raised his eyes, glanced at them coldly.

It turned out that Weitan stayed here to speak for Kang and the others not to listen to more insider information to collect "interest", but to protect Yi Yuhai's safety.

"You don't have to worry." Chu Junlan stood up and said with a lazy smile, "I know what keeps promises, and do whatever you promise. Lord Yi told me the truth. I will only be grateful, so how could I hurt him?"

Having said that, Yi Yuhai was still rolling nervously while sitting behind the beach.

Chu Junlan bowed his knees to Yi Yuhai and bowed: "I have offended you late at night. Lord Yi told the little girl the truth and pointed out a clear path to me. I am very grateful. Don't worry, I will not make this a random statement."

Upon hearing this, Weitan made a step forward.

Yi Yuhai was obviously relieved. Chu Junlan did not cry or make a fuss and accuse him loudly. Instead, he was so rational that Yi Yuhai's sense of Chu Junlan improved a lot. In order to investigate the cause of his mother's death, a woman actually had the ability to use the relationship between Lihui to force him to tell the truth. She was also considered a hero among women.

Chu Junlan was not long-winded, and respectfully bowed to Yi Yuhai, said goodbye to Weitan, and left the study room, climbed over the wall and tiles in a neat way, and disappeared in front of Yi Yuhai and Weitan in the blink of an eye.

Yi Yuhai and Weitan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looking at each other, speechless for a moment.

Chu Junlan rushed back to the Duke's Mansion, trying his best to avoid the patrol guards and the uncle who had been sitting on guard on the roof. He took some effort to return to his room.

After a good night's sleep, Chu Junlan went to ask Duke Mao's wife early in the morning to ask for advice, then asked Xu's instructions and went to the Chu family.

Since Chu Cailiang escaped, the Chu family has been purged. Now all those who are left are loyal to Chu Huating.

When Chu Junlan came to the gate of the guest yard, he saw that the gate was open and Baole was taking people to carry things to the mule cart one by one.
