"It's so late, my elder brother has something to do when he comes."
Nan Zhu shook his head.
"I don't know, I don't know. The eldest son didn't say anything. He only said that the situation was urgent."
"Emergency?"
How could Luo Jiuli dare to talk nonsense? If the situation hadn't been serious, her elder brother would never have disturbed her at night and quickly asked Chun Rong to find some clothes and put them on.
Outside the house, Luo Yuanliang saw Luo Jiuli leaving the dormitory, stood up and went to greet him.
"Brother, is there something urgent?"
"Well, not only is it an important matter, it's also a big deal."
Luo Yuanliang looked at the three people beside her.
Chunrong, Nanzhu, and Nanxing, one is a son of the Duke's family, and the other two are female guards sent by the Ninth Prince. They are all loyal people, and they have not hidden anything.
"Hu Jue committed suicide in prison, and Hu Hongzhi committed suicide at home."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, his eyes widened subconsciously.
"When did it happen?"
Luo Yuanliang said:
"Hu Jue committed suicide in front of the emperor, and I just found out about Hu Hongzhi's suicide, but I haven't gone to Sima Mansion yet to find out what exactly happened."
"Then big brother will call me when he comes back?"
Luo Jiuli vaguely seemed to understand something.
"Neither the prince nor his father believed that Hu Hongzhi would commit suicide, because Hu Jue confessed and committed suicide just to protect Hu Hongzhi and everyone in the Sima Mansion."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he immediately understood.
"Nan Zhu, go get the medicine box."
"yes."
Nan Zhu entered the house and took the medicine box with him. Nan Xing followed behind and the others left the house.
At this time, the snow was getting heavier outside the house, and large flakes of snow fell from the sky one after another, as if they wanted to use the whiteness of the snow to cover up the evil in the world.
At the back door of the Duke's Mansion, a carriage has been waiting for a long time.
"Get in the car."
The brother and sister got on the carriage one after another.
Nan Zhu and Nan Xing jumped on the shaft of the cart, and the wheels rolled, leaving a deep rut in the fallen snow.
Da Sima's mansion was shrouded in a breathless haze.
Everyone in the mansion seemed to have not yet recovered from the grief of Hu Hongzhi's suicide, and was shocked to death by another news brought by the Nine Kings.
Master Sima committed suicide in prison.
That is the cornerstone of Sima Mansion, the pillar, the most powerful presence in the entire court and the entire capital.
Lord Sima committed suicide, which is unacceptable and unacceptable to everyone in the Sima Mansion.
In addition, the eldest son who succeeded Lord Sima also committed suicide in the palace, and a huge family went from glory to decline overnight.
When Luo Jiuli arrived at Sima Mansion, Mo Han had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time.
"Second Miss."
Mo Han stepped forward and saluted.
"The master is waiting for the second lady inside."
"Well, I understand."
Luo Jiuli asked Nan Zhu to hold the medicine box, and he walked with his eldest brother, followed by Nan Xing.
The four of them entered Sima's mansion.
However, before they reached the backyard, Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway.
"Luo Jiuli."
The person who came was dressed in white, with red and swollen eyes and a strong nasal voice. He was supported by two maids and blocked Luo Jiuli's way.
Luo Jiuli looked up.
"Hu Hanyu."
The visitor was none other than the second young lady of Sima Mansion, Hu Hanyu.
"Why did you come to our Sima Mansion? Haven't you done enough harm to us? Get out, you are not welcome in our Sima Mansion, so get out."
Hu Hanyu stared at Luo Jiuli, his pale face full of resentment and malice!
Luo Jiuli frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to hold the eldest brother beside him, and looked at Hu Hanyu with a cold gaze.
"Seeing as so many things happened in Sima Mansion tonight, I won't argue with you, and you shouldn't make it uncomfortable either."
"uneasy?"
Hu Hanyu gritted his teeth every word.
"My grandfather was arrested, my father was stripped of his official position, and everyone in the Sima Mansion was banned from leaving the house without orders."
"I've been feeling uncomfortable all day and night."
"Now that my grandfather is dead and my father is dead, I will spend the rest of my life in discomfort. What do you think I care about?"
Hu Hanyu could lose to anyone, but he was unwilling to lose to Luo Jiuli.
Especially when she saw Luo Jiuli appearing in Sima Mansion, she thought she was here to watch the fun. At that moment, the shock and anger in her heart immediately found an outlet.
Staring at each other with both eyes, he looked like he wanted to eat Luo Jiuli alive.
"Luo Jiuli, are you happy? You used to be such a humble person, but now you are so arrogant."
"If it weren't for you, a bitch, who harmed my cousin, my sister, and caused my Sima Mansion to fall out with the Nine Kings, causing the Sima Mansion to have no peace, my grandfather, father, and our Sima Mansion would be in this situation now.
——”
Snap!
Luo Jiuli raised his arm and slapped Hu Hanyu hard on the face.
That slap was harsh, cold and merciless.
"I have never seen such a shameless person. You, Hu Hanyu, turn out to be less willing to give in than your sister."
"You keep saying that I harmed you, what have I harmed you?"
"If your grandfather and father hadn't been greedy and committed many evil deeds, how could they have ended up like this?"
"You didn't dare to go to the rightful owner to make trouble, so you vented all your anger on me. It's simply disgusting."
"Hu Hanyu, I would like to advise you, if you don't want the Sima Mansion to prepare the third coffin, just shut up."
After Luo Jiuli finished speaking, he raised his foot and deliberately knocked her away, striding forward.
Hu Hanyu covered the beaten cheek, staggered back two steps after being hit by Luo Jiuli, and raised his arms to fight back.
Nan Xing grabbed his wrist behind him.
"You bitch, how dare you stop me?"
She knew that the maid in front of her was protecting Luo Jiuli's safety.
Nan Xing looked at her with a cold, expressionless look, not caring at all that she was vomiting fragrance.
With a shake of his arm, Hu Hanyu was like a broken kite. With a bang, his body flew out, leaving a mark on the snow, and he fell not far away.
"Miss."
"Miss, how are you?"
The maids and servants, who were barely breathing, hurriedly stepped forward to help Hu Hanyu up.
Hu Hanyu raised his head and wanted to curse.
But in front of her, all that was left for her were the retreating figures of those few people.
"Bitch! It's not easy for me, and I will never make it easy for you."
She clutched the cold and biting white snow on the ground tightly, her heart was twisted to the extreme, and her hatred for Luo Jiuli also reached its peak.
Outside the study, Xiao Mingxuan saw Luo Jiuli walking in and walked over.
"You're here."
It was so late and she had to come in person.
Luo Jiuli nodded and saw that his eyes were dark blue.
I opened my mouth to ask him to take a rest, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
These successive incidents were enough to shock the capital.
If we can't find out the reason, not to mention that we can't explain it to the emperor, even the queen mother will make a fuss about it.
