Chapter 11: Key Persons In The Case (2)

“If your aunt didn’t do it, who did?” Constable Ma anxiously asked.

Tang Song Nian also stared at him, waiting for his answer.

But He Shaoting still said nothing with red eyes. No matter what others asked him, he never said a word.

Xu Yun Yao listened quietly for a while and looked at him, who had a red face with tears rolling in his eyes that stubbornly refused to fall. Her heart was full of bitterness.

This should not be the case. Her moonlit hero in her heart should not be like this.

In her life as Consort Xu, no one ever mentioned the origin of the young general. His sudden rise was due to the struggle on the battlefield to save Emperor Taizong, who had fallen into the trap of the enemy.

Later, he was promoted by Emperor Taizong and followed him to the battlefield. With his extraordinary courage and guts, he fought many battles, won many victories, and eventually became renowned.

She couldn’t bear it anymore. She struggled to get down and walked towards the stubborn boy in the room, took his hand despite his struggle, lifted up her little face and said, “Don’t cry.”

He Shaoting held her soft little hand and pushed her away. His eyes reddened a few points unconsciously, but he still bit his lips and looked away.

Who cried?! This wilting girl is full of nonsense!

Tang Song Nian stared at the scene quietly for a long time, sighed, walked over to hug her daughter, and rubbed the stubborn and awkward young man’s hair. He patted him on the shoulder, raised his voice to call Bi Wen, and told her to take the two children down.

" "

“My Lord, why don’t you ask again? The child obviously knows the inside story,” Constable Ma urged unwillingly.

Tang Song Nian shook his head. “Don’t ask anymore. I’ve already got it all figured out.”

“Who smashed the Sun Youcai with the jar?” Constable Ma immediately followed.

Tang Songnian did not answer but looked at the silent Shen Ming beside him. “Sir, what do you think?”

Shen Ming laughed: “My guess might be the same as yours.”

Tang Song Nian smiled.

At the sight of the two men smiling without saying a word, Constable Ma’s mind could not calm down. “Oh, I’m so anxious. Who did it?”

Tang Song Nian smiled and shook his head, slowly strolled out of the door with his hands on the back, intending to continue to coax the little girl to call him dad a few more times.

After all, the girl weighed her words in gold. Usually, she was not willing to say names easily.

“What does this mean, sir? This case has not been closed yet.” Constable Ma was a little confused.

Shen Ming smiled dumbly and kindly reminded him, “You just said a few words that were not very friendly to Tian-shi, and the child was so angry. If he saw Sun Youcai beating Tian-shi, ​​how would you say he would react?”

Constable Ma was shocked and could not believe it. “You mean… Sun Youcai was injured by him?”

Shen Ming nodded.

“But they said that the child’s coma was caused by drugs. What is going on? Who drugged him?”

Shen Ming sipped his tea and slowly reassured him, “Maybe Tian-shi and the child both thought Sun Youcai was killed. She must have let him leave quickly out of her desire to protect her younger generation. However, because of the child’s character, he would not accept it. Tian-shi was forced to make him unconscious with drugs.”

“But she did not expect that Sun Youcai was not dead at the time. Maybe what he said when he woke up angered her, ​​causing Tian-shi to stab him angrily.”

“After killing Sun Youcai, Tian-shi probably wanted to save his life. Otherwise, she would not deliberately lift the child to the empty well, which is the safest location in case of a fire. Maybe she also hoped that when the fire raged, others would find him first when trying to put it out.”

The person in charge, Constable Ma, still did not understand. “The well is dry. Even if there is a fire, no one will go there to get water.”

Shen Ming sighed. “An ordinary woman who has just killed someone will not think everything through; there must be some negligence. Besides, the place where the boy fell was the widest and farthest from the main house. Even if no one found him for a moment, it would not be a threat to his life.

“Tian-shi did her best to save him before she decided to kill herself.”

Constable Ma couldn’t tell what it was like in his heart. “These two people are not mother and son, but they are better than mother and son. I don’t blame the little fellow for being so rude just now.”

Shen Ming patted him on the shoulder. “No one should know of this!” It was only then that he came out of the room.

Although the case had been solved, there were a lot of follow-up matters to deal with. His master had ignored them at the moment, but it didn’t mean that he could do the same.

At the moment, Xu Yun Yao was lying in Bi Wen’s arms, looking at the little figure walking faster and faster in front, with a thoughtful expression.

He Shaoting’s tense face was a little pale, but there was a faint glint in his eyes.

He knew that even though he didn’t say anything, Lord Tang was so smart that he might have guessed his uncle, Sun Youcai’s, death.

However, he did not regret it. Even if he were to choose again, his choice would be the same. The man was not worthy of being the husband of his aunt.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his pace increased a bit.

He couldn’t stay here anymore. This was not his home…

All of a sudden, a small head popped out of the roadside flowers with a whoosh, giving him a fright. Then Zhou gē er’s clear and joyful voice was heard. “Bother Ting, look, is it good?”

He looked over and saw him holding a big, colorful butterfly, grinning at himself with curved eyebrows.

“This is what I caught!” Zhou gē er proudly added.

He Shaoting paused for a rare moment.

So strange. Clearly, he had cried a while ago and went to find his dad. However, he didn’t see him in Lord Tang’s library. It turned out he had gone to find butterflies.
