Chapter 602 Tang Family Couple Returns to the Village
Chu Heng also sent people who were running businesses to find genuine craftsmen to perfect the related books before selling them in the shop.
This way, with many books hidden at home, there wouldn't be anything unusual.
Since Chu Jin couldn't go out, he continued copying Buddhist scriptures at home.
In the afternoon, Chu Liushi came by and asked about Tang Bao's case. She heard that the Tang family couple had returned.
"That thief is already dead. The county magistrate said that there will be a trial in three days, and Master Lin and Xiao Jin will need to go to the county to give testimony. This case will be closed then." Chu Liushi said.
Ye Muyu instinctively became wary and that feeling of unease surged within her again. She trusted her intuition very much. "Mother, who told you this news?"
"The whole village knows. It's what the Tang family couple said."
"But I feel like the Tang family couple's emotions are a bit off." Chu Liushi felt uneasy when she thought about the couple's resentful expressions.
Unable to hold back, she said, "Why don't I find some time to go and check on them? And ask if there's anything going on?"
Ye Muyu thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, let's go take a look."
"Call Han Zhuang to accompany us later."
"Okay." Chu Liushi felt that this matter had nothing to do with their family no matter how one looked at it. Although Tang Wangshi had been a bit excessive before, one couldn't deny that Tang Rou was also involved in stirring up trouble.
Ye Muyu changed into a simpler outfit and left her bangs at home.
Huo An was still recording his testimony, so he didn't come back.
With Steward Luo and others in the county, Ye Muyu wasn't worried about him.
Together with Chu Liushi, the two of them each carried some eggs and brown sugar and went to the Tang family.
On the way, Ye Muyu mentioned that the third young master of the Wang family had already died and it was highly likely that Tang Rou was involved in the murder.
Chu Liushi was startled and her usually calm face was filled with shock. "How is that possible?"
"I don't want to believe it either, but this news was brought back by the shopkeeper of the county's steward. It must be true. But did the Tang family couple not mention anything about this?" Ye Muyu asked.
Chu Liushi furrowed her brows. "No, after the couple returned, they hardly said anything. Even Tang Wangshi looked as if she had become stupid, glaring at everyone with hostility."
"Tang Xueren refuses to say a single word."
"This situation doesn't seem right. If Tang Rou did this, the Tang family couple should have already known about it when they returned today. Why didn't they mention it?" Chu Liushi stopped in her tracks, feeling cautious. "Daughter-in-law, I feel like something is off."
"Mother, I think Tang Wangshi may know something." Ye Muyu's decision to go was also based on intuition. She felt that the breakthrough might be with this person.
With no one else around the Tang family couple, Ye Muyu had some understanding of Han Zhuang's skills. With him present, she had plans for the future.
"What do you mean?" Chu Liushi mind was a bit confused. Two consecutive murder cases had made the villagers somewhat afraid. Most of them avoided going out if they could help it, and even fewer went to the county alone recently.
Chu Liushi had never encountered a murder case in the village since she was born. Although she was calm enough, the thought of someone in the village becoming a murderer sent a chill down her spine.
"Mother, I think since the Wang family master dared to hire someone to kill, how could he let Tang Rou's parents off the hook? That was the third young master of the Wang family. I've always heard that he was highly favored by the Wang family master. Now that he's dead, the Wang family master definitely won't take it lying down. We only caused harm to the third miss of the Wang family before but it still attracted retaliation from the Wang family master." Ye Muyu explained.
