After a while, Axia came out, holding the dishes in her hand and handed them to Adong.

Adong took over and walked neatly towards the kitchen.

Achun had just finished her meal and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Adong coming, she hurriedly said, "Why are you here too? You can put the dishes out and put them aside first. There is no one around her. What if she has something to tell?"

A Dong smiled and said, "Sister Achun, don't worry, Sister Axia is back, she is guarding her wife!"

Achun frowned: "Didn't Axia say she feels uncomfortable? I even asked her to go to see a doctor and get medicine these two days."

Adong said: "Yes, Sister Axia said that her life is coming. I think she really feels uncomfortable when she walks!"

Achun was surprised: "Her little life is coming? Why didn't I see her horse riding cloth? Could it be that she just came today..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to say something to an eight- or nine-year-old girl, so he quickly stopped.

"Okay, Adong, go and rest. Just Axia and I are there with my wife."

When Achun returned to Zhang's yard, she saw Axia coming out of it. She looked carefully for a while and found that Axia's face was indeed a little pale, so she went up to him: "Axia, have you gone to see the doctor today?"

Axia smiled and said, "I'm going, but there are too many people on the doctor's side, and I'm afraid that the wife here will have something to tell you. You can't be busy alone and come back first."

Achun angrily said, "Are you worried about my work? I asked you to rest, and ran out to work again. Okay, go back and lie down quickly. I'll just come here!"

Axia made a gesture to her to silence: "Madam just rested."

Achun nodded with a worried look on his face: "Madam, is she still in a bad mood?"

Axia sighed: "Yes, I advised her to take a break early. She said she had a headache and told us not to go in and disturb her if we were fine tonight."

A Chun: "Mrs. Sleep in the inner room, and I'll rest in the outer room, why not do it?"

Axia: "The inner room is only separated from the outer room. My wife asked us to go out. She probably didn't want us to wake her up when we turned over in the outer room in the middle of the night? You also know that my wife has a very shallow sleep when she gets a headache."

A Chun: "That's right, then I'll just stay outside for a night."

Axia: "I'll accompany you."

Achun pushed her and said, "No, go and rest quickly. It's so ugly when you look at your face."

Axia said: "I should be on duty when coming to Japan today. How can I leave you to rest? I will accompany you."

A Chun: "Didn't A Dong just say that your little life is coming?"

Axia: "Yes, I just came here today, but now it's much better. Just sit there and it won't be uncomfortable."

Achun had no choice but to do anything to her, so the two of them sat down next to the stone table in the yard. Fortunately, it was midsummer and the weather was stuffy. When they looked up, they saw the starry sky, and they were cool in the yard.

The two of them were talking nonsense. In the second half of the night, they were both sleepy, with their arms stretched out and dozed off there.

Achun yawned and stood up: "I'll go in and see how my wife is sleeping and whether the doors and windows are closed so as not to catch a cold."

Axia also stood up: "I'll go!"

A Chun: "Okay, no need, I need two people to close the window? Just sit down!"

At this moment, a muffled sound came from the house.

Achun and Axia looked at each other, and they walked forward. Achun knocked on the door and asked softly: "Madam?"

Seeing that there was no answer inside, Achun pushed open the door and walked in.

The door of the inner room was still closed, but behind the screen in the outer room was shady, as if something was moving.

Achun felt a little sad, and he walked over slowly, asking inquiring, "Madam?"

When she walked around the back of the screen, she realized that the window outside was not closed, and the branches outside were dancing in the breeze. The shadows of the trees were reflected on the screen, and the clothes hanging on the hanger behind the screen were easily misunderstood.

Achun breathed a sigh of relief and looked out deliberately.

A small garden is connected outside. At this time, the bright moon is on it, illuminating every grass and tree clearly. The branches sway and rub gently, and a faint cat meow or two came from the bushes.

Achun shook her head and closed the doors and windows.

Achun walked out of the other end of the screen and saw Axia walking out of the inner room with slight hands.

"Where is my wife still asleep?" she asked Asa whispered.

Axia nodded: "It seems that she is sleeping heavily. I didn't know what the sound was just now, so I couldn't wake her up."

A Chun: "Then let's go out. My wife has rarely slept better these days, so don't wake her up."

The two left the room, and Asa asked, "What's the voice just now?"

A Chun: "Maybe the wild cat is naughty. When it is running up, it hits the window edge. It has happened before."

After being disturbed by the movement, the two of them became energetic and simply sat there chatting until dawn. Achun said, "Usually, the wife should get up at this time. You go to fetch water first. I'll go see if the wife is awake."

Axia agreed, and Achun walked towards Zhang's house.

They were used to this skill, and there was nothing new to describe. Achun walked into the house and knocked on the door of the inner room: "Madam, it's time for Mao, can you get up?"

It was quiet inside and no one answered.

Zhang is a person who is a shallow sleeper. She can wake her up with a little movement outside. Even if she slept well last night, it would be impossible for her to shout like this outside but she still didn't move. Could it be that she was sick?

Achun was surprised and couldn't wait for Zhang to answer, so he pushed open the door directly.

As a result, this push allowed her to see the most terrifying scene in her life!

A circle of ropes hangs from the cross beam, and Zhang is hanging on the rope, his body swaying. Looking up from A Chun's angle, you can see that Zhang's eyes are wide open and he is staring at her blankly.

"ah----!!!!!!"

Such a thing happened to the Li family, it was no different from the sky falling.

Just because the male host of the Li family has been doing business abroad for a long time, Zhang is guarding this ancestral home in the capital. As the mistress of the family, she has to take charge of housework and take care of the family's daily life. Because Zhang cannot give birth to a child, Li Man later married two concubines, including the mother of Li Lin, the only son of the Li family.

Li Man had a son in middle age and naturally loved Li Lin very much. Not only him, Zhang also regarded Li Lin as his own son. Li Lin grew up by Zhang since childhood and respected her very much. Not only did Zhang not conceal his life experience, but also took care of his biological mother. Li Man's two concubines were also honest and could not cause any big storms. Therefore, although the male owner was not at home all year round, the Li family had been stable and peaceful for many years because Zhang was there.

At this time, when Zhang died, the Li family lost its backbone, and Li Man had not come back yet, and the whole family burst into tears and was completely in chaos.

Zhang has been feeling unhappy in recent days because of the news that Li Man was about to bring her concubine back. He was depressed and couldn't think of it for a moment. It seemed very reasonable. But who made Tang Fan live next to the Li family? If this happened, Li Man was not there. The Li family remembered Tang Fan the first time, and hurriedly sent the butler, Lao Li, to Shuntian Mansion to find Tang Fan and begged him to take charge.

Logically speaking, Tang Fan should not be in charge of this matter, because there are several counties under Shuntian Prefecture, and the Li family should be managed by Wanping County. If such a thing happens, if the Li family suspects that he killed rather than committing suicide, they want to sue the official, they must first go to the magistrate of Wanping County. If Tang Fan controls it, it is called interfering in the officialdom, which is a taboo in the officialdom, and Wanping County will definitely be very unhappy.

So Tang Fan was surprised and only comforted Lao Li and promised to go to the Li family with him first. If he committed suicide, there was no need to disturb the government. If he suspected that he was killing him, he would go to Wanping County to sue the official.

When Tang Fan followed Lao Li back to the Li family, he saw a strange man sitting in the hall, feeling sad, and there was a beautiful woman standing next to him. Li Lin stood there crying and crying, while Achun and Axia knelt in the hall.

Old Li shouted, overjoyed, and hurried forward: "Master, Master, you are back!"

"Old Li, where have you been?" Li Man's face was full of grief and tears shone. Although he took a concubine, he still had feelings for his wife. His eyes fell on Tang Fan next to Lao Li. "What is this?"

Old Li hurriedly said, "Master, this is Lord Tang from Shuntian Prefecture. Because of this sudden incident at home, you are no longer there. The young man took the initiative to invite Lord Tang to come and have a look!"

Li Man stood up and greeted him: "It turns out that it is Lord Tang, the villain is rude! I wonder if Lord Tang and my family..."

When Tang Fan rented the yard next door, Li Man had already gone out and had never seen Tang Fan at all. No wonder he had such doubts.

Lao Li explained: "The yard next door was rented by Lord Tang. He also helped the Li family several times and was kind to us. Master, you are not here, and the young man is still in vain. If something happens like this, the first one will remember to look for Lord Tang!"

Li Man nodded and bowed, "So that's it. I thanked Lord Tang for my behalf!"

Tang Fan said: "You don't have to be polite, but Mrs. Li is so good, why did she hang herself?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lao Li, but also A Chun and others did not say anything, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

After a while, Li Manfang said, "Old Li, Lord Tang is asking you, why don't you answer?"

Old Li sighed: "After the master's words, I always have this matter in the outer courtyard. I haven't seen my wife yesterday. I can't talk nonsense, so I'd better let Achun and the others say it!"

Li Man said, "Achun, Axia, you guys!"

Achun looked shocked. She was the first person to discover Zhang's body. The body hanging on the beam swayed too much impact. She has not yet come to her senses.

Li Man had to ask Axia to speak. Axia glanced at Li Man and the woman beside him and said timidly: "A few days ago, the wife heard that the master was going to bring people back from outside. She was a little depressed because she had not done anything for many years. We also comforted her. Later, last night, the wife said she wanted to rest and not let us in. Achun and I stayed outside until dawn. They didn't go in and called the wife up. Who knew that Achun had just entered and saw her..."

Li Man said sadly, "I have a relationship with her husband and wife. I have a deep relationship. Have you ever blamed her? How could she be so unthinkable!"

The beautiful woman said sarcastically: "I came back with the master to pay homage to my wife. Why did the wife suspect that I was so far that I didn't even allow me to see you!"

Tang Fan shook his head. The woman's thoughts are really not worthy of being told by outsiders, and he is not convenient for him to intervene. However, based on the relationship between neighbors, he still said: "If it is convenient, you might as well take me to see your wife to confirm whether she really committed suicide."

Li Man bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, but Zhujing is a female family after all, and men and women are not close to each other. What's more, the dead are the most important, and it would be indecent to check up and down. Now my family has undergone a major change, and it is really inconvenient to entertain Lord Tang. It's better to wait for the villain to finish the funeral of Zhujing first and then come to thank him. What do you think of Lord Tang?"

Tang Fan glanced at him deeply: "What if I must see?"

Li Man was stunned: "As a court official, how could Lord Tang ignore the laws and wishes of the court and his family? The dead are the most important, and the villain does not want Zhujing to be disturbed and will not be at peace after death. Is this not possible?"

Tang Fan said: "Yes, but since Mrs. Li may have committed suicide or killed him, I naturally have the right to check the body."

Li Man looked down: "As far as I know, even if the government investigates, Wanping County should have sent someone to investigate. Although Lord Tang belongs to Shuntian Prefecture, he is wrong after all. Is this illegal?"

The ancestors of the Li family were officials. Li Man used to be a scholar. Now he is doing business everywhere and has a wide range of friends. Naturally, he is not as fooled as ordinary people. Besides, what he said is indeed correct.
