Chapter 770: Stay (2)
"Then aren’t you afraid that you’ll let the murderer off and let your brother die with remaining grievances?" Empress Dowager Zhou reprimanded sternly.
Xuanyuan Qi clenched his fists. "Mother, I’ll investigate."
"Alright, investigate now. I want to watch with my own eyes as the thief who harmed my son is punished."
Xuanyuan Ye was satisfied. She did not notice that Madam Yu, who was silently crying, had stiffened.
Since Empress Dowager Zhou had spoken, Xuanyuan Qi naturally could not refuse. After all, he also wanted to find the culprit as soon as possible.
Not long after, all the servants in Xuanyuan Ce’s courtyard were brought to the empty space outside the Yuqian Palace. Everyone knelt down in fear.
The first person to discover that something had happened to Xuanyuan Ce was the old butler of the courtyard. Xuanyuan Ce returned to the residence when it was dark. After returning to the residence, he sent his servant away and went into the study, and did not come out until midnight.
The old butler was worried and went in to take a look. Xuanyuan Ce was already lying on the ground, dead.
This was a huge matter that caused the entire residence to lose their heads. Everyone was in an uproar.
Two of the servants claimed to have seen a woman come out of the study at night. Only then did the butler hurriedly bring them into the palace to report the funeral.
