"Isn't that the case of death without evidence?! Is it inappropriate for the Marquis to push a dead person out to shoulder the blame?!"

Xiao Muqiu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"You don't believe me?"

Li Wuji asked with a smile.

"How can I trust you when I have no proof?!"

Xiao Muqiu said in a deep voice, his voice was stiff and no longer as respectful as it was at the beginning.

"Qiu'er, don't be so presumptuous!"

At this moment, a deep voice sounded, and a graceful and luxurious woman slowly appeared at the door of the main hall.

It was the head of the Xiao family, Yun Bai Ning, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a respectful look.

Hearing the words, Xiao Muqiu was shocked, turned around hurriedly, and bowed respectfully to Yun Baining who suddenly appeared at the door.

"I met my mother."

Following Xiao Muqiu's words, Yun Baining had already put her arm on the middle-aged man's arm, slowly walked into the main hall, and walked straight towards Li Wuji.

The aura he showed in his movements was aggressive, as if he was deliberately imitating those high-status nobles in the palace.

"Are you Mrs. Yun?"

Li Wuji looked at Yun Baining and asked with a smile, still sitting steadily on the chair, he looked like the master of the house.

"I've met the Marquis."

"The presence of the Duke of Li'an has really made everyone in Xiao Mansion shine."

Yun Baining bowed slightly and said slowly, with a faint smile on his face.

"I have long heard that the head of the Xiao family is unparalleled in elegance, and when I saw him today, he truly lived up to his reputation."

Li Wuji nodded, looked at Yun Bai Ning as if no one else was around and said.

Although Yun Baining is already over forty years old, she still looks beautiful, even with a hint of a moon-shy flower.

Seeing Li Wuji's unscrupulous gaze, Xiao Muqiu frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

But the middle-aged man who was supporting Yun Baining seemed to have heard nothing. After helping Yun Baining sit down, he consciously stood beside Yun Baining without saying a word and was respectful.

Li Wuji glanced at the middle-aged man intentionally or unintentionally, and based on how respectful the servants in the hall were to the middle-aged man, he immediately understood that the middle-aged man in front of him was the former head of the Xiao family before the empress ascended the throne.

, is also Xiao Muqiu’s father, Xiao Wenqi.

Xiao Wenqi, who once dominated the business world, has now fallen into such a state of lack of dignity, which makes Li Wuji feel a little sad.

This is the result of feminist rule, and it is what he hates most.

"Master Hou is overly praised."

Yun Baining covered her mouth and chuckled, and a hint of uncontrollable shyness actually flashed across her cheeks.

Seeing that show off shyness, Li Wuji instantly lost all interest and shook his head secretly.

"I just happened to hear Mr. Hou say that the real culprit behind my son's murder has been found?"

Yun Baining seemed to have noticed something, coughed, looked at Li Wuji, and asked softly, his voice soft.
