That night, Inspector Zhang and the other officials of the Tombal Mountain City had all turned white. They had deployed all their manpower to investigate the reason behind the fire at the Nebula Pavilion.
There were so many people present at that time, and everyone could see the heavy bronze lock on the gate of the Nebula Market. Everyone was already discussing it, saying that someone had deliberately murdered Mu Yunyao, but not only did they set a fire in the middle of the night, they had even locked the gate to prevent anyone from escaping.
The majority of the citizens of the Tombal Mountain City had benefited from the embroidery process. Even the commoners would not agree if they did not investigate the matter as soon as possible! In the early morning of the next day, Madam Jin had already rushed over to Mu Yunyao's house. Su Qing had just finished cooking the Eight Treasures Rice for Mu Yunyao, and upon seeing her, he immediately revealed a happy expression. Although it revealed a forced feeling, she sincerely said, "Greetings, Madam Jin.
"Since you've come all the way here, let me thank Madam on behalf of Yao'er."
Lady Jin stepped forward and held Su Qing's hand. Her face was filled with pain and anxiety as she said, "Yun Yao is intelligent and considerate. She has helped me many times. Is Yun Yao awake now? "
"She just woke up and wanted to eat Eight Treasures Rice. I just cooked it and was about to deliver it to her!"
"That's great. I'll go take a look at her."
Mu Yunyao was currently leaning against the bed, lost in thought. When she heard footsteps at the door, she quickly put on a sweet smile and yelled coquettishly at the door, "Mother, are the Eight Treasures Rice ready? Your Yao'er is starving to death! "
Su Qing smiled helplessly at Lady Jin."Yao Er's character has always been like this, I'm sorry for making fun of you."
She never thought that the meticulous and thorough Mu Yunyao would be so childish. Looking at the doting smile on Su Qing's face, she couldn't help but feel a little envious. If she had a daughter like her, she would probably spoil her to the heavens.
Only after hearing Su Qing's voice did Mu Yunyao realize that Lady Jin had also come. Her face immediately revealed an embarrassed expression, and she got up to get off the bed to pay her respects.
Lady Jin hurriedly entered and stopped Mu Yunyao."Quickly lie down. Why are you still being courteous at this time? I heard from Senior Cao that you were severely injured and almost fell down from the sky. Just hearing it caused my heart to palpitate.
Mu Yunyao also didn't force herself to get up, "I've made madam worried. I'm fine. I've only suffered some superficial wounds, so I'll be fine while recuperating."
At this moment, her face was pale and she wore a snow-white robe, making her look even more petite and slender. Her palm-sized face was so pale that it made one's heart ache. His face revealed a pained expression, "I have ointment to treat burns. If you use it any longer, it will dilute the scar. When I return, I will clean it up and have the silver red send it over to you. At this moment, you don't need to use anything at all.
"I think, naturally, there will be people who will uphold justice for you in the other matters."
Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head, the light in her eyes dimming."I wasn't able to find out who set the fire earlier, and now that it's the middle of the night, I'm afraid it'll be hard to find a trace of it."
"Don't worry. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground this time, we will definitely find the murderer!" Madame Jin's tone was exceptionally resolute.
Mu Yunyao nodded and smiled gratefully to Madam Jin."Thank you Madam."
"Recuperate well. I'm still waiting to wear the clothes you made!"
"Yes, for the sake of Madam, I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible."
"Rest well, I'll come see you another day." Lady Jin stopped Mu Yunyao from getting up and sending her off. Su Qing sent her out.
After leaving the courtyard and getting on the carriage, Lady Jin's expression was still pained. The silver-red in the background helped her to place the pillow properly. When she saw his expression, she could not help but say, "Madam really treats Lady Mu so well."
Lady Jin lightly caressed her belly and sighed with emotion."It was worth it."
Because the Cao family was the closest to the Nebula Market, Zhang Xun, Su Qingwu, and a few others had gathered there. When they saw that Lady Jin had returned, their eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Greetings, Sir Zhang. Sir Su ..."
"Madam, there is no need to be so courteous. May I trouble you to come by early in the morning. May I know how Miss Mu is doing?" Patron Zhang was the first to ask.
"That kind of delicate and weak girl went through a big fire in the middle of the night and almost fell down from upstairs. She was so shocked that she lost half her life. The situation is really not good."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Xun's expression became even more anxious: "I'll have to trouble Madam Jin to make another trip and find the best doctor in the Tomb City. I must ensure that Lady Mu is safe and sound!"
"Yes. It's just that Miss Mu's hand is severely injured. Originally, her hand was injured. This time, she escaped down the cloth rope. That hand is basically unrecognizable. Even the best doctor in the Tomb City was invited. It's likely that ..." Lady Jin did not finish her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant.
Mu Yunyao was an expert in embroidery. Embroidery was a skill of the hand, so how could one hold up needle and thread when her fingers were injured in the future?
Zhang Xun wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said, "I will try my best to cure her. It will be fine no matter how far I can go."
Su Qingwu's expression did not change at all, but the hand in his sleeve tightened slightly as the scene of Mu Yunyao falling into his embrace involuntarily appeared before his eyes.
His body was in a sorry state, his face was pale, and the crafty light in his eyes was exceptionally dim. When people looked at him, they couldn't help but feel their heart ache.
"Great Master, Master Cao, this matter must be reported to the Emperor. I hope the two sirs can find out as soon as possible."
"Please be at ease, Sir Su. We will definitely investigate this as soon as possible."
As he was speaking, the official who had been sent out to investigate rushed in and reported, "Reporting to the lords, we have found some clues. The bronze lock on the gate of the Nebula Market was bought by someone from the Ding family's shop."
"Ding family?" Constable Zhang immediately stood up with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes."Honestly speaking, the only one who has a conflict with the neon city square recently is the Ding family!"
Su Qingwu asked, "A conflict with Nebula Market?" "Who is this Ding Clan?"
Chief Patrol Officer Zhang immediately recounted the events that happened in the Ding Clan in detail. His tone vaguely mentioned that he knew of Ziling, and even though he didn't say it clearly, everyone on the scene understood his meaning! (TL: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!)))
He and Ziling both knew that they didn't have much interaction, but they had a deep grudge with Ambassador Zhou Ao. Right now, he was on the same side with Inspector Zhang, who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the enemy.
Su Qingwu raised the teacup and took a sip."Since Chief Patrol Officer Zhang has a suspicious person, then we should investigate the truth as soon as possible. This way, we can give an explanation to the Emperor."
Zhang Xianfeng was overjoyed. Su Qingwu's attitude was the same as admitting to his thoughts."I'll investigate as soon as possible. I'll definitely give Lord Su a result within three days."
Leaving the lobby, Mrs Jin returned to the backyard, the smile in her eyes growing even wider.
"Madam, I heard that this servant found some clues?"
"Not only have I found some clues, but it looks like I'll be able to come to a conclusion soon."
"Old master acts swiftly and decisively. I am truly impressed!"
"This time, it's not because of Old Master's contribution, but because of Great Master Zhang's great guidance."
Lady Jin pursed her lips and was in a very good mood. You, Inspector Zhang, said that you wanted to give Su Qingwu an answer within three days. That is to say, you either wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly within three days, find out the truth about the murder case, or you wanted to tell him that the result was the same as what he wanted to give her. Furthermore, Chief Patrol Officer Zhang was more inclined to the second method. Without Senior Disciple Zhang's help, the master's mental state could be considered to have been removed.
