Chapter 658 Lotus Pavilion CP Li Lianhua
"Young Master Fang, Doctor Li, what are you doing here? What are you doing here too?"
Yu Hongzhu, who had rushed over in a fierce manner intending to kill Yun Jiao, unexpectedly saw Fang Duobing, Li Lianhua, and Yu Mulan here.
She was confused about what had happened. She thought that Yun Jiao, who was pretending to be crazy, was the one who was pretending to be a ghost tonight. She didn't expect that so many people were involved!
"Yun Jiao, what exactly are you trying to do? First you pretended to be crazy, then you pretended to be a ghost. What, are you using Yucheng as your stage?"
"Madam Yu, please wait a moment. Let's get back to the cause of your sister's death first!"
Hua Xiaozhou was a little tired. Solving this case really required working day and night. She really didn't know what Fang Duobing was so excited about.
What does "Flower Maiden" mean?
"Look, this is Yu Mulan. He is the murderer who killed Miss Yu Er. Miss Yun Jiao was just helping him."
Li Lianhua sensed Hua Xiaozhou's impatience and was also thinking about solving the case quickly so she could go home and sleep.
"Help him?" Yu Hongzhu's face showed undisguised surprise.
"I'm sure Madam Yu hasn't forgotten Miss Yun Jiao's love poem, 'My heart is bound to the pearl, my feelings are hard to understand; the falling petals and catkins evoke longing.'"
When the topic of love poems came up, Yu Hongzhu immediately became anxious.
"This is not written for..."
"It wasn't written for 'Mingzhu,' it was written for 'Feixu.' Look at the dandelion pendant in Miss Yun's hand, doesn't it look familiar? If I remember correctly, isn't the dandelion the emblem of the Hujiang Pu family? I didn't expect that even after marrying into the family, Lord Yu still hasn't forgotten his roots. He's truly loyal and affectionate."
Li Lianhua spoke sincerely and her expression was genuine, but Yu Mulan's face turned ashen from the praise.
Buwei, who was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, was slapped by Hua Xiaozhou and immediately perked up. He pinched the whistle around his neck and blew it. Immediately, two figures appeared and interacted behind the screen. The maid Qingling walked out with two shadow puppets.
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. This one was found at Xiaomian Inn, and the other one was found in Lord Yucheng's study. Manipulating shadow puppets was the Pu family's original skill that made them famous. It is said that there is also a unique skill called Thousand Transformations in Fire, which can make the puppets dance in the air. The shadow puppets are agile and ever-changing. If an uninformed person sees them, wouldn't it be a good show of ghosts killing people?"
After Li Lianhua finished speaking, she bent down, picked up Buwei, and patted his back to lull him to sleep.
Hua Xiaozhou also leaned on Li Lianhua's shoulder, trying to save some energy.
Yu Hongzhu had just snatched the flower pendant from Yun Jiao's hand and smashed it; she was furious at that moment.
Yu Mulan continued to argue, insisting that she had no motive.
Despite his illness, Fang was still quite energetic. He pulled out an account book from his lower back and tossed it to Yu Hongzhu.
"This contains Yu Mulan's gambling debt records. By the way, it's just one of many debts she owes."
Li Lianhua gave Fang Duobing an approving look, and then said:
"The Pu family originally made their fortune through shadow puppetry, but the patriarch became addicted to gambling and lost everything. It's no wonder that people are influenced by bad company. You're addicted to gambling, and when you can't pay your debts, you falsify accounts. It's a pity that half of the Jade City mines belong to Yu Qiushuang. Even if she disappears, they're still hers. She can only inherit them all from Madam Yu if she dies. You wanted to make a fortune by falsifying accounts to cover your gambling debts. Isn't that a motive?"
Yu Hongzhu quickly flipped through the ledger and, sure enough, saw the exorbitant gambling debts. Enraged, she slammed the ledger onto Yu Mulan's face.
"Pumulan, you really are like a dog that can't even resist eating shit!"
Yu Mulan tried her best to control her expression, still wanting to plead for herself.
Hua Xiaozhou straightened up, took out the broken jade and gold needle from her purse, and walked to Yu Qiushuang's side.
"This is a birthday gift from Yu Qiushuang. I'm returning it to you. If she had known back then that this warm jade could save your life, she would have been very happy."
