The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2636: Chapter 120: Find the Item

The maid opened it as instructed, and inside was unexpectedly a packet of white powder.

"Bang..."

"This is not my lady’s stuff." Xiaohong pointed at that maid, "Where did you get this to slander my lady? You sure have guts."

The maid quickly lowered her head, "Madam, this servant did not, it was really found in Miss’s room."

Seeing this item, Li Luru didn’t need to guess, it was definitely placed by someone, and with Li Mengru being so brazen, it must be her or Concubine Sun.

However, what she should consider right now is how to get out of this.

Her eyes glanced over a few sisters-in-law, then saw Yang Aoshuang, whose eyes were very calm, which made her uncertain, unsure if she believed her or not.

Stepping forward to pull Yang Aoshuang’s arm, Yang Aoshuang patted her hand.

"Madam, are you going to protect her?" Li Mengru’s face looked bad upon seeing this action.

She really didn’t expect, even at this point, that the Madam would still protect Li Luru; this is the enmity of a murdered husband.

Not just Li Mengru, even Concubine Sun and the others felt Yang Aoshuang was going too far, covering up even such matters. Concubine Sun retorted to Li Mengru, "Why are you in a rush? Could it be that the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master will also shield the murderer?"

Yang Aoshuang glanced at her leisurely, "In circumstances where everything is still unknown, don’t easily accuse someone of being the murderer, or else you might find yourself in a difficult position later."

"The entire Li Residence hasn’t been thoroughly searched yet. After checking Third Young Miss’s place, it should be Second Young Miss’s turn next, according to order." Yang Aoshuang stood up and said, "Send someone to invite the doctor again, to see what this packet contains. Everyone else, follow me to Second Young Miss’s place."

Li Mengru was truly speechless, "The evidence is already conclusive, yet they still want to continue investigating. It’s really so ridiculous, haha..."

Seeing her like this, Concubine Feng and others whispered, "Could it be that Second Miss was provoked insane?"

"Isn’t she crazy? Originally wanting something good for herself, but unfortunately, the Old Master is gone; her good fortune couldn’t be realized."

"Sigh, don’t talk about her, what are we going to do later on, sigh..."

With the words of several concubines echoing in her ears, Li Luru thought, knowing today, why bother back then.

In the past, when they were in power, each was showing off their might; why didn’t they think ahead about what to do today?

Still, Li Luru wondered where this thing came from, could it have really been brought in by that searching maid?

Then who is the mastermind behind this?

Her eyes swept over everyone, looking around and still feeling Li Mengru and her mother looked suspicious.

Li Mengru was reluctant to search her courtyard again, but the group proceeded nevertheless.

And the searching maids and matrons, without needing instructions, spontaneously went to search through the cabinets, and the meticulousness was even more intense than it was earlier in Li Luru’s courtyard.

Just a quarter-hour, half an hour, one hour passed, yet nothing was found.

Concubine Sun’s mouth curved wider and wider, thinking that her actions would hit the mark, how could she possibly allow anyone to catch evidence?

Her eyes turning past Li Luru, she coldly sneered in her heart, "Little brat, dare to compete with my daughter, merely a wild child, I will certainly teach you a lesson."

"Did you find anything?" Li Mengru asked.

Several maids and matrons shook their heads.

"Hmph, then should we continue searching elsewhere, or start interrogating the criminal?"

Li Luru chuckled, she was clearly too impatient.

"Madam, this servant found this." The last maid emerged from the room.
