"There happens to be nothing going on at the military headquarters today. I'll take you back to Liu's house for a walk!" When Jiang Zuilan was walking in his yard doing nothing, Shen Zhongqi came. His tone was light and his eyelids raised.

Jiang Zuilan knew that the time for a married woman to return home had long passed, and now Shen Zhongqi suddenly wanted to take her back to the Liu family, there must be some purpose.

"Okay." Jiang Zuilan was still unimpressed. She had long wanted to go back to Liu's house to look for clues.

The two of them left the Young Marshal's Mansion one after another. The black car had already parked outside the door. Zhang Shen saluted respectfully and opened the door.

Silent all the way, Jiang Zuilan still looked sideways at the people walking on the street.

Shen Zhongqi pursed his thin lips and stared out the window. No one spoke in the small space.

Shen Zhongqi's eyes were cold, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face as he looked at the silent Jiang Zuilan in front of him.

His aggressive gaze fell directly on Jiang Zuilan's face. He couldn't see through the woman in front of him, so he wanted to see how long she could keep pretending!

The car quickly arrived outside Liu's Mansion. Before the people in the car could react, Zhang Shen's voice was heard: "Young Marshal, the door of Liu's Mansion is closed."

Shen Zhongqi, who had been squinting just now, opened his eyes instantly. His peach blossom eyes were filled with ice, and there was a sudden silence in the carriage.

"Didn't they notify the Liu family early in the morning that they were coming? With their doors closed like this, do they not welcome you as their adopted daughter back or do they not welcome this young marshal?"

Shen Zhongqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Zuilan with a cold gaze.

"What do you think?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Zuilan's mouth.

Shen Zhongqi was approaching little by little, and his handsome face seemed to be air-conditioned. Facing his intimidating momentum, Jiang Zuilan straightened his back and remained calm.

"You won't defend the Liu family?" After a moment, he added, "You'd better not play tricks on me! Do you understand?"

Shen Zhongqi remained calm, with frost on his angular face, and said to Adjutant Zhang who was driving, "Go call the door and ask Liu Xunyang to come out and see me!"

After receiving the order, Adjutant Zhang Shen got out of the car with great strides, walked to the door and knocked.

Zhang Shen slapped the door expressionlessly, making the dark wooden door bang loudly.

The concierge came out cursing and turned pale with fright when he saw Zhang Shen. Then he glanced at the car parked at the door and turned around and ran into the house without saying a word.

After a while, Liu Xunyang walked out tremblingly, looking so hurried that even his usual calm demeanor was gone.

"Young Marshal, despite his busy schedule, is able to accompany Lan'er home, which is really a shame to Mr. Liu."

Liu Xunyang walked down the steps with a false smile. He didn't even look at Jiang Zuilan, and went directly to Shen Zhongqi's side with a very flattering attitude.

When Shen Zhongqi heard Liu Xunyang's words "Lan'er", a coldness flashed across his cold and unruly face, "Lan'er?" It was useless to call him such an intimate name. Although he was dissatisfied, it didn't show on his face at all.

"Father-in-law, you're welcome. Zhong Qi is not busy with military affairs today, so he wants to go back to Jiang's house with Alan for a walk!"

"You're welcome, young marshal. Please come in quickly!"

Liu Xunyang's attitude at this time was very natural, neither humble nor overbearing. He turned sideways and held up his hands, leading Shen Zhongqi to the living room.

From time to time, he glanced at Jiang Zuilan, who had been following Shen Zhongqi behind him. His eyes and brows were filled with questions. The three of them entered the Liu family's living room with their own thoughts on their minds.

"Father, I'm going to the back house to get some old things first!"

Jiang Zuilan was the first to speak, imitating the original owner in calling Liu Xunyang. She wanted to see if there were any clues in the original owner's belongings that could lead to the murder of her family and her father.

"Oh! Go! Let Aunt Wang accompany you!" Liu Xunyang met Jiang Zuilan's eyes, waved his hands, and called for a servant to accompany her to the back house.

Jiang Zuilan didn't know whether Liu Xunyang sent such a person to follow her to spy on her, or to ask her about the news she found in the Young Marshal's Mansion these days. Maybe it was both.
