Chapter 284 Visiting Yu Mansion, Full of Doubts
Chen Tai was still a decent man. He took everyone in his house and sent Li Cunxi and others to the street corner.
After getting on the carriage, Li Cunxi said goodbye to Chen Tai and told Lu Dayou to drive the carriage away. Then he lowered the curtains and his expression immediately became ugly.
"Do you believe it?" Li Cunxi smiled coldly.
"I don't believe it." Wu Yanhao grinned.
"You really think we are fools. Wealthy families all have to be respectable and have dignity. Would they really voluntarily marry off their daughter just because a criminal raped her?"
"You locked someone up, and he ran away and even passed the imperial examination?"
"The only part of Chen Tai's words that we can really trust is the part before Yu Lei broke into Chen's house and stole things. That was the real truth, and the emotions expressed were genuine."
“Hehe, as for the sister he mentioned… Cunxi, I dare to bet with you that if we go to Yu Lei’s house now, all we can see is the body of Mrs. Yu Lei.” Wu Yanhao said with a bad expression.
"Moreover, more than a decade has passed. Who can still remember what Miss Chen looked like? I guess 80% of people would think that Yu Lei's wife is really Miss Chen. But I dare to conclude that Yu Lei's wife is definitely not the Miss Chen." Li Cunxi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he shouted outside: "Go to Yu Mansion!"
The carriage turned and headed towards Yu Lei's residence.
Soon, they arrived at Yu Lei's residence.
Just as Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao had expected, everyone in the mansion was in mourning and crying.
A young man who looked to be in his teens was kneeling in the mourning hall and crying.
The servants who came and went all had their heads wrapped in white cloth and wore mourning clothes, and there was an endless stream of people coming to the door to pay their respects.
The butler stayed outside for a long time, receiving the crowd who came to pay their respects.
His eyes were sharp enough to see the guards and palace guards riding their horses down the street.
The demon spirit took the lead and shouted:
"The Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture is here to investigate the case. All irrelevant people, please retreat!"
The crowd that was gathering at the door went outside one after another, knelt on the ground, and waited for the carriage to arrive.
The housekeeper handed the mourning clothes in his hand to the worker behind him, rushed into the mourning hall, and informed the young man of the news.
Outside the mansion, Li Cunxi got off the carriage accompanied by Wu Yanhao. He glanced at the ordinary people kneeling on the ground and was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.
This feeling... is so damn good!
I used to kneel to this and that person every day, and finally it’s someone else’s turn to kneel to me.
"I, Yu Yin, pay my respects to Shao Yin!"
Li Cunxi, who was enjoying everyone's bowing to him, heard this sudden sound.
His gaze slowly turned to Yu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground with tear marks on his face.
"Get up. I am here because of your father's matter. Please ask all irrelevant people to leave. I want to visit your home."
Yu Yin stood up and said a few words to the housekeeper, who quickly apologized to everyone and sent away the people who came to pay their respects.
Seeing that most people had left, the guards rushed into Yu's mansion with ease and began to deploy defenses.
"I am Li Cunxi, Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture. I already knew about your father's affairs. But he hanged himself the night before I arrived in Dengzhou. It is really sad."
Li Cunxi looked around as he walked, but said irrelevant words.
When Yu Yin heard this, he immediately began to wipe away his tears.
"My father hanged himself, and I still had family members to accompany me at home. But now my mother has also passed away with my father, and I am now all alone in the world."
"Oh, the governor's wife, is she there too?" Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows, as it was exactly what he thought.
"That's right. My mother heard that my father had hanged himself, so she also hanged herself an hour ago."
Li Cunxi turned around and exchanged glances with Wu Yanhao, and both of them realized that something was fishy.
After Yu Lei hanged himself, this woman had to investigate the truth behind Yu Lei's death, or the reason why he hanged himself.
If she really hanged herself because she was afraid that Li Cunxi would investigate the case, it would not be too late for this woman to commit suicide for love later. Why did she hang herself so early and leave her son alone?
"I am deeply saddened by the death of your father and mother, but there are many doubts behind this matter. Please take me to the place where your mother hanged herself and take a look." Li Cunxi said slowly.
"Please come in, Master Li. I will take you to see the place where my mother hanged herself."
After Yu Yin finished speaking, he covered his face and cried again.
His father and mother died in one day. It was a very painful thing. No wonder he cried like that.
However, the case is becoming more and more strange, and Li Cunxi has to start with the people around Yu Lei.
Led by the crying Yu Yin, Li Cunxi and four others finally arrived at the room where Madam Chen hanged herself. The white silk on the beam had not been removed yet, but the lower part of the silk had cracked, presumably because the silk had been cut to lower the body. Stools and other things were also fallen to the ground. Everything here seemed messy and disorderly.
Li Cunxi looked around but found nothing, so he turned back to Yu Yin and asked:
"Has this place been cleaned up?"
Yu Yin wiped away her tears, shook her head and said:
"I didn't clean it up. I just put my mother's body down."
Li Cunxi walked around the room several times but found no clues. He looked everywhere but did not find any suicide note or anything like that.
After leaving the house, Wu Yanhao frowned and asked:
"I wonder what the relationship between your father and mother is like?"
Yu Yin thought about it, and then gave a precise answer:
"The relationship between my father and mother is very good. From the time I can remember until now, they have never quarreled or had a quarrel."
Li Cunxi, who was walking in front, suddenly smiled.
If she was raped, we would probably treat each other as enemies as soon as we meet. How could we have a good relationship? This is bullshit.
If they really had a good relationship, then there was only one reason to explain that Yu Lei did not marry Miss Chen, but the maid who was in love with Yu Lei and had secretly married her.
Then, a new question arises. Since Yu Lei did not marry a daughter of the Chen family, it proves that Chen Tai was lying to them, and it also confirms Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao's guess about the story told by Chen Tai.
On the contrary, if the two of them do not have a good relationship, it would naturally prove that Yu Yin was talking nonsense and what Chen Tai said was true.
However, whether Yu Yin was lying or Chen Tai was talking nonsense, Li Cunxi still had to slowly investigate the story.
Yu Yin was still talking about how good the relationship between his parents was, and everyone came to the outside of Yu's house accompanied by Yu Yin.
The extremely nervous butler came over and bowed and nodded humbly to Li Cunxi and the others.
"Your family is in such a state, so you should make good arrangements. When the case is resolved, I will come to visit you again."
Li Cunxi patted Yu Yin's shoulder, got on the carriage accompanied by everyone, and drove away.
Yu Yin's eyes were blurred with tears as she watched Li Cunxi and his party leave.
