After being reborn and having his mind read, the cold and arrogant Zhan Ye kneeled down to coax

Chapter 254 What's wrong with a weak body

But what kind of omission?

Zhan Tingxiao asked someone to invite a forensic doctor.

The forensic results were the same as Jiang Wan's. Liang Qianjun ate porridge mixed with oleander poison before hitting the pillar.

"Oleander again!!"

Thinking about how her grandmother was poisoned once because of oleander, Jiang Wan couldn't help but guess: this might have been done by the same person.

Or maybe, Liang Qianjun's allies suddenly turned against him?

But why did they turn against each other?

During the time he spent at the Zhan family, Liang Qianjun didn't seem to be close to anyone in the family.

The person who could approach the ancestral hall quietly without arousing the vigilance of the guards must be someone familiar.

Jiang Wan looked at Zhan Tingxiao and found that he also frowned slightly.

"Call all the people who have been in and out of the ancestral hall in the past few days."

"Huh? All of them?"

"Yes."

"But we just opened the temple for sacrifice a few days ago. If we call them over, there will be too many people."

The Zhan family had many branches. Apart from the direct line of Madam Zhan, there were seven brothers in the generation of my great grandfather. The brothers had sons, and the sons had grandsons. This family had been passed down from generation to generation, and there were already 137 people.

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "Too many people would easily alert the enemy."

Zhan Tingxiao: "Do you have a solution?"

"Try it."

The news of Liang Qianjun's suicide was concealed by them.

In the quiet ancestral hall, everything seems the same as before.

Occasionally, passers-by would pass by and see a thin figure kneeling tiredly in front of the ancestral tablet.

"Alas, what a huge mistake did the Second Madam make, why is she still kneeling?"

"Why bother? If you do something wrong, why not just admit it, ask for forgiveness from the master and go home? Why do you have to suffer here?"

"It's more than just torture. I heard that he couldn't stand it and tried to commit suicide in the afternoon, but he didn't die. He came back and continued to kneel as punishment."

"You still have to continue to be punished if you don't die? It seems that the matter is really serious."

Passersby murmured.

He does not mean that.

I saw a figure with his head lowered quietly walking through the noise of discussion.

Someone saw her and called out, "Auntie Lao San, where are you going so late?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just finished dinner and came out to digest the food."

"Oh. Slow down, be careful not to fall."

"Hey, why is this Third Aunt acting strange today? Didn't she always say that her legs and feet weren't very strong and she didn't like to go out? Why is she taking a walk today for the first time in her life?"

In the crowd, Jiang Wan listened to what those people said calmly.

His thoughtful gaze fell on the hurried figure, and then he followed out.

Followed the old alley.

Followed to the gate of a prosperous mansion.

Jiang Wan looked up at the heavy plaque. Unlike the old house where Old Madam Zhan lived, this house looked newer.

But the decoration style is not as grand as that of the old house.

【What kind of person is the Third Aunt? 】

Jiang Wan sent a message to Zhan Tingxiao.

She and Zhan Tingxiaobing split into two groups, one to investigate the surveillance around the ancestral hall, and the other to observe on the spot.

At this moment, Zhan Tingxiao was watching the surveillance video and found that the people coming in and out were all familiar members of the Zhan family. Suddenly, Jiang Wan's message came.

He fixed his eyes on the surveillance screen, and watched through the dim lens as an old woman with a hunched back carried a flower basket and walked into the ancestral hall to pay homage with a familiar look.

Today is not a special day.

In addition, the Zhan family had just held a large-scale sacrifice a few days ago. Logically, no one would come to burn incense in the next few days.

But in the surveillance video, the old woman with difficulty walking lit three cigarettes and knelt in front of her ancestors, muttering something.

Jiang Wan was still waiting for news: [? ? Didn’t you see my message? ]

【Come here.】

Zhan Tingxiao sent Jiang Wan a location and showed her all the surveillance footage he had found about Third Aunt.

Jiang Wan frowned: "She came to burn incense and then left. I didn't see her contact anyone!"

"I just asked the uncles who are in charge of the temple, and they said that Third Aunt often comes here to burn incense, so it's not unusual for her to come here today."

But Jiang Wan always felt something was wrong.

However, in her previous life, she had only vaguely seen this old woman wearing a veil on her wedding day, and she had no impression of her afterwards.

Meanwhile, after Zhan Tingxiao could not see anything abnormal with her on the surveillance camera, he called Chen Fei to investigate the Third Uncle's family.

Although they are called a family, there are actually only three people.

The Third Uncle's family is the smallest among the Zhan family's branches.

Ever since Zhan Tingxiao could remember, his eccentric third uncle didn't like to interact with their direct descendants.

The third aunt takes care of her foolish son all day long, and she is rarely seen except when he comes to the ancestral temple to worship.

At this moment, after investigating their home, Fade Chen gave the same information: "As usual, nothing unusual."

"Am I overthinking it?"

Jiang Wan shook her head.

He turned his attention to the surveillance playback again.

Night falls.

At this time, the lights in the backyard of the ancestral hall were already on.

The incandescent light illuminated the woman's beautiful face. She frowned and watched the surveillance playback with a focused and serious look.

Zhan Tingxiao said: "Let me take you back first."

"Ok?"

"I'm really sorry. Today is your birthday, and I should have celebrated it for you, but something like this happened instead."

"Human life is at stake. I also want to find out the truth as soon as possible."

【I dreamed about the woman on the viaduct again last night. 】

[However, thinking back on that figure, it doesn’t look like Third Auntie.]

【Did we find the wrong person?】

Jiang Wan shook her head.

Maybe I’m too tired recently, and I didn’t sleep well at night, so I always feel confused and lack energy all day long.

[I have to make myself some Four Substances Soup later to replenish my Qi and blood. ]

"Let's go back first."

Zhan Tingxiao frowned and decisively turned off the surveillance TV.

Seeing Jiang Wan's unhappy look, he said, "I'm tired and must go back to rest."

"You? Go back and rest now?"

"Yes, after all, I have just recovered from my injuries, so what if I am a little weak?"

Cough!

Zhan Tingxiao looked away uncomfortably.

At first glance, it really seems like he is not willing to admit that he is weak.

Jiang Wan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back first."

She followed him back to the Zhan family and went into the house to check on the old man who had just taken his medicine and fallen asleep.

The old man's pulse has gotten worse.

Her exhausted energy made her like a candle in the wind. Even though she fell asleep, her brows were still furrowed.

Jiang Wan looked at her and felt extremely upset.

[Damn you, the mastermind behind this, I'll make sure you're in trouble when I catch you!!]

"Second Young Madam."

At the door of the room, the voice of the new steward of Zhan Yuan came cautiously.

After Jiang Wan left, Zhan Tingxiao picked a steady and careful person from the servants she hired to serve as the housekeeper.

Jiang Wan saw him and asked, "Butler Bai, what's the matter?"

"The sheets upstairs have been changed for you. You've worked hard all day, so you should go upstairs and rest. I'll stay here."

"upstairs?"
