"Liu Yanyan." (a1)

The answer was concise and to the point. If Yang Nianqing and the other woman hadn't already known who Liu Yanyan was, they would have been completely baffled upon hearing this. She couldn't help but find it amusing; He Bi was indeed someone who couldn't get things clearly from people. No wonder he had to drag a dead man all the way to see Mr. Chrysanthemum.

Li You was clearly used to it: "Anything else?"

"letter."

"Have you seen it?" Part 04

"No."

"Couldn't you say a few more words?" Li You finally gave a wry smile. "For example, how did you know about that letter? Who are the people in Zhang Mingchu's family...?"

He Bi glared at him, then simply stopped talking.

Nangong Xue smiled: "Brother He and I arrived in Jiangzhou and met Madam Zhang and her son. According to Madam Zhang, Master Zhang was once infatuated with a woman named Liu Yanyan from the Baoyue Tower in Jinling. That Miss Liu has quite a bad temper and knows some martial arts. I heard that she once beat a servant so badly that he vomited blood and lost a tooth." (19)

Li You chuckled: "It seems she really did practice martial arts. What happened to her later?"

"Madam Zhang disagreed with Master Zhang taking her as a concubine because she was ill-mannered and of lowly status," Nangong Xue said with a smile when she mentioned this excuse. "Miss Liu then had a falling out with Master Zhang, left a letter and left, and threatened that if Master Zhang came to find her again, she would not be polite."

"Is that really the case?" Li You nodded. "Have you seen that letter?"

Nangong Xue shook her head: "According to Madam Zhang, she only heard it by chance from one of Zhang Daxia's personal servants."

Upon hearing this, Li You couldn't help but show an amused expression: "Unintentionally? This hero Zhang is truly blessed. Wherever he goes and whatever happens, Madam Zhang is always very concerned."

“Not only does she care,” He Bi said coldly, “I’m afraid this letter was fabricated by her. Women can be very jealous, and perhaps she wants to use us to vent her anger on Liu Yanyan.”

Nangong Xue found it amusing: "Madam Zhang's jealousy is indeed well-known."

"Are you kidding me? It's all Zhang Mingchu's fault for being such a womanizer. He got married but still went out and messed around. He deserves it!"

He remained silent for half a day.

Li You finally sighed, turned his face, and looked at her carefully: "I really don't understand, do you even know what the 'three obediences and four virtues' of a woman are?"

"The Three Obediences and Four Virtues?" Yang Nianqing curled her lip and sneered, "Then do you even know what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues of a man are?"

.

The three men looked at each other.

Li You turned to face her and said, "I'd like to hear what the 'three obediences and four virtues' of a man are."

Compared to modern men, you ancient men were so much happier!

Yang Nianqing coughed twice, feigning seriousness, and turned around: "The 'Three Obediences'... well, it means you must listen to your wife, obey your wife's orders, and follow your wife when she goes out."

The three of them were stunned again. (55)

“That makes sense,” He Bi suddenly spoke, glancing at him. “Then what are the four benefits?”

"You have to listen to your wife's nagging, you have to put up with her temper, you have to be willing to spend money on her, and you have to remember her birthday," Yang Nianqing said in one breath, then chuckled twice. "So, did you all understand?"

Half a day.

Li You looked at Nangong Xue and smiled bitterly: "In that case, it would be better to be a woman."

Nangong Xue suppressed a laugh and nodded: "Not bad."

He Bi reached out and patted Li You on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter about others, but you really should study hard."

"Don't you think I'm already much better than you?" Li You seemed helpless. "At least there are a few things I can tolerate, but you definitely can't tolerate even one."

He Bi glared at him and then fell silent.

Nangong Xue looked at her, a rare playful smile appearing on his gentle and handsome face: "This man's 'three obediences and four virtues' is indeed quite novel, Xiao Nian is really interesting."

.

In the inn, Li You was happily sitting to one side drinking tea when Yang Nianqing began to tell them about Madam Ye and Tang Jingfeng.

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at He Bi, waiting for him to make a decision.

He Bi frowned.

Nangong Xue pondered: "Now, all we know is that Hei Silang owes him a favor, and what he used is the long-lost Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm... Tang Jingfeng and his wife, Liu Yanyan and Zhang Mingchu, Xin... But Brother Li, if you think too far ahead, you are most likely to make mistakes. The murderer may not be among them."

“That’s right,” Li You nodded, “but now the only body that might have left a clue has been destroyed. Knowing this is better than guessing blindly.”

Nangong Xue remained silent. (b7)

“Liu Yanyan is certainly suspicious,” He Bi suddenly said, “but it is indeed very strange that Tang Jingfeng and Madam Ye are arguing.”

Yang Nianqing disagreed: "What couple doesn't argue? It's normal to bicker. As for murder, it's really unlikely. Liu Yanyan is the most suspicious."

Nangong Xue smiled and shook her head: "Lord Tang is a devoted lover."

"It is said that when he married Madam Ye twenty-three years ago, he vowed never to marry again. Now he has truly kept his vow, which is truly rare. Madam Ye is very fortunate to have such deep affection from him."

Li You laughed and said, "Moreover, I have also heard that Madam Ye is gentle and virtuous, and has never even raised her voice. She and her husband have never argued before, so why would they suddenly start arguing?"

Yang Nianqing was still unconvinced and muttered under her breath, "Maybe it's just a woman's menopause..."

Nangong Xue frowned: "The two of them are deeply in love. It's really unlikely that Madam Ye would try to murder them. However, Liu Yanyan's background is somewhat suspicious."

With everyone in agreement, Yang Nianqing nodded vigorously.

Li You, however, looked at He Bi.

finally--

He Bi said, "Let's go to Baoyue Tower in Jinling first."

It seemed he also thought Liu Yanyan was the most suspicious. Yang Nianqing immediately looked at Li You triumphantly, but he only smiled slightly and said nothing more.

.

Nangong Xue walked to the window, a thin layer of sorrow and reluctance showing in her noble phoenix eyes: "The fifteenth is almost here, but I wonder who it will be this time?"

All three of them were stunned.

Yang Nianqing sighed inwardly. It seemed he was feeling guilty, completely unaware that he was also a victim, innocently framed by the murderer. He truly deserved to be called the number one philanthropist.

moment.

He Bi suddenly stood up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, still coldly saying, "Worrying is useless, you might as well think more about the case."

“Indeed,” Li You also revealed a cheerful and bright smile. “Brother Nangong is knowledgeable and learned, how could he not know that life and death are predestined? Now, the only thing we can do is to find the murderer and let them rest in peace as soon as possible, which will be the best we can do.”

Nangong Xue watched the two of them quietly.

After a while.

He smiled slightly and said, "In any case, to have made friends like Brother He and Brother Li, my life has not been in vain."

Yang Nianqing looked at them with a complicated expression, then silently lowered her head.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li You also stood up, slowly walked to her side, and smiled at everyone, saying, "In that case, we'll set off tomorrow. Don't think too much about it; everything will be alright."

.

Everything will be alright.

Little did they know, something was waiting for them in Jinling at that very moment...

Night had fallen, but the docks outside the city remained bustling with activity, a constant stream of boats coming and going. Among them, an ordinary-looking passenger ship was moored on the shore, a string of lanterns hanging high on its mast, swaying gently in the cold night wind.

In the center of the cabin, a coffin was placed prominently, its presence accentuated by the flickering lights, creating an atmosphere that was both desolate and mysterious.

Two people were sitting on chairs next to the coffin.

Nangong Xue still looked as gentle and elegant as ever. He looked outside the door and suddenly said in a soft voice, "'The autumn wind is blowing gently, the waves of Dongting Lake are rippling and the leaves are falling.' I visited Dongting Lake once this March, and I imagine it must be a different scene now."

He Bi coldly replied, "What's so interesting about a piece of water?"

Nangong Xue shook her head: "Water is different in different ways. West Lake is beautiful whether it is lightly or heavily adorned, or the Yangtze River is surging and turbulent. Each has its own unique flavor, but the water of Dongting Lake is only particularly beautiful in autumn."

“It’s all the same with water,” He Bi glared, “It’s even worse with a dead person in it.”

Nangong Xue finally gave a bitter smile: "Brother He..."

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted outside the cabin door, and it seemed that someone was also sighing.

"We'll find out what the scenery of Dongting is really like tomorrow. Brother Nangong, please remember that next time we talk about the scenery, it would be best to find a cow first."

.

A person was already standing in front of me. No, to be precise, there were two people—one person holding the other.

Yang Nianqing looked at He Bi, her stomach almost aching from laughing.

Nangong Xue looked at the two of them, paused for a moment, and then showed her usual kind and elegant smile: "What do you mean by that?"

Yang Nianqing suppressed a laugh: "You're talking to a brick wall."

“No good,” Li You interjected, glancing at He Bi’s sullen face. “As for the scenery, that’s fine. But when it comes to playing the zither, I would rather play for a cow than ask him for help.”

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Nianqing burst into laughter again.

Nangong Xue couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. But when he saw the bare foot, he immediately looked away—a woman's feet were not to be looked at; he wasn't Li You.

However, He Bi remained unfazed, coldly scrutinizing them for a long while before slowly saying, "Only took off one shoe? That's truly strange. Was there no time to even get her to put her shoe back on?"

Upon hearing this, Li You glanced at Yang Nianqing, who was staring blankly in his arms, frowned and sighed. He placed her on the coffin lid, then found a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

He didn't even try to defend himself.

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a long time before finally coming to her senses. She jumped off the coffin lid faster than a rabbit: "Hey, stop thinking nonsense! My shoes are all his fault!"

Blame him?
