505 One Month Approaching

Su Yanyu touched General Black and smiled. “Father, Mother, why are you in such a hurry to send General Black away? There’s still a month left before Miss Liu will be convicted, and no one knows what will happen before that. Moreover, General Black didn’t do anything wrong.”

Su Yanyu liked General Black so much. How could he send it away? It was not easy for him to have such an opportunity to be with this great beast.

He had to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with General Black, or else he’d regret it.

Marquis Su was furious and shouted at Mrs. Su. “It’s all because you’ve always been spoiling him.”

Marquis Su snorted and left. Mrs. Su looked at Su Yanyu. “Behave yourself during this period of time.”

Su Yanyu beamed with a wide smile. “Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll definitely behave well.”

He had already got people to investigate and found out that the demon spirit in Xu Lin’s body had not been removed yet. Sooner or later, something would happen.

Master Yuan Hui, tsk tsk tsk…

One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Even if he did not leave home, there were still people who helped him gather information.

Mu Cong and the others were on Su Yanyu’s side. If there was any news, they would send it to Su Yanyu immediately. Su Yanyu also told them to be careful and not wander outside at night. They had to watch out for the next month because the human-eating demon spirit was no joke.

The first half of August passed quickly, and those who were originally curious about what happened in Duke Xu’s Mansion gradually lost their enthusiasm.

Only the Ministry of War was still investigating the case seriously.

Half a month had passed, but there was still no progress in the investigation.

Xia Hongming went to look for Wu Ju many times, but ever since Wu Ju went into seclusion, he hadn’t come out. Xia Hongming could only wait.

On the 20th of August, Wu Ju came out of seclusion. Xia Hongming went to see him immediately. He could not be bothered to beat around the bush and said, “Master Wu Ju, you might have miscalculated this time. It’s been 20 days. Miss Liu is still in prison. The Xu family is fine. According to what I know, Xu Lin has already become normal. He’s eating cooked food.”

Wu Ju smiled faintly. “There are still several days before this month is up.”

Xia Hongming did not know where Wu Ju got his confidence from. What difference could a few days make in the current situation?

Xia Hongming asked in a low voice. “What difference does it make?”

Wu Ju looked at Xia Hongming. “A determining difference.”

To Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan, they only changed a living place, but to Yuan Hui, it was a torture. Could he sit still for a month?

20 days was probably his limit.

Wu Ju was not worried at all. Xia Hongming could not get anything out of him, so he could only wait another ten days.

At Duke Xu’s mansion, Madam Xu picked up some food for Xu Lin. “Lin, eat more.”

Xu Lin nodded and finished all the food in the bowl. After eating, he returned to his courtyard to read or paint.

The nailed doors and windows in the courtyard had already been removed. Madam Xu thought that the mansion was a little too deserted. After some days, she would go and bring back some servants.

If Xu Lin didn’t show any abnormalities this year, she would start choosing a good girl for her son and fix a wedding day at the end of the year.

Xu Lin returned to his courtyard while Madam Xu went to the ancestral hall. During this period of time, she had been chanting scriptures here every day, repenting and begging for forgiveness for the ridiculous things she had done.

Duke Xu’s memorial tablet had been put up again.

She chanted devoutly everyday.

Yi Zilan and his people had disguised themselves as guards. They were a little out of patience after waiting for so many days without seeing anything abnormal. However, since Yi Zilan did not give the order, they could only continue to keep an eye on the mansion.

Yi Zilan drank a cup of tea and frowned slightly when he saw the people walking out of the mansion. “Did the Xu family send different people out to buy groceries these days?”

Two days in a row, different people went to buy groceries. Yi Zilan felt that something was wrong.

“Sir, I think you are right. Do you want me to ask around?”

After Yi Zilan’s reminder, they realized that the person who went out to buy groceries this time was not the same person from yesterday.

Yi Zilan took it seriously. “Of course we have to find out.”

The maidservant returned after purchasing food. Yi Zilan stopped her. Looking at the scar on Yi Zilan’s face, the maidservant was so frightened that her basket fell to the ground. Yi Zilan took out a token and said, “I’m from the Ministry of War. You have to answer the questions truthfully.”

The maidservant was shocked. Such a fierce-looking person was actually from the government?

She nodded. “I will definitely cooperate.”

Yi Zilan asked, “Where is the person who went out to buy groceries yesterday?”

The maidservant was a little afraid and responded truthfully. “I don’t know either. I think she applied for leave from the butler.”

Although they were maidservants, there were times when they would feel unwell. The Xu family was not so strict. They were allowed to take a few days off now and then.

Yi Zilan let her pass. What the maidservant said did not seem to be suspicious, but he still felt that something was wrong.

They had the talismans in their hands, but the people in the Xu family did not. They had been guarding the mansion day and night for so long, but what if Xu Lin attacked the people at home first?

The maidservant quickened her step and disappeared into the mansion.

At night, the old butler mentioned the matter to Madam Xu. “Madam, a few maidservants have been unwell recently and have applied for leave. The mansion is a little short-staffed. Do you want to take more servants in?”

Madam Xu nodded. “I’ve considered this too. When you have time, go and choose some.”

The old butler nodded.

During dinner, Madam Xu picked up food for Xu Lin as usual. He ate whatever she put into his bowl. Madam Xu said gently, “Lin, you look much better than before. I’m relieved to see that.”

Xu Lin’s condition was caused by the demon spirit. Now that it was gone, Xu Lin would naturally get better and better. A few days ago, Master Xu Qing came to take a look and said that there was no problem.

Xu Lin smiled faintly. “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll completely recover in no time.”

Madam Xu nodded. The servants cleared the table while she sent Xu Lin back to his courtyard. Looking at Xu Lin’s tall figure, Madam Xu was delighted. When they reached the courtyard, she held Xu Lin’s arm.

Xu Lin smiled. “Rest early, Mother. I’m going back to my room.”

Madam Xu nodded. “Ok.”

She was a little distracted. The arm she held just now was very firm. Xu Lin had already entered the courtyard. She looked at Xu Lin’s back and could not help but frown.
