Currently, she first needed to clarify the cause of Zhou Ying’s death. She didn’t believe for a moment that it was a simple accidental death. Tao Yu arrived at the government office with a stern face, and before the carriage even stopped, she heard heart-wrenching cries from ahead.
Tao Yu’s thoughts immediately refocused, and she asked the driver: “What’s happening up front?”
“It looks like Zhou family members crying for Young Master Zhou,” the driver answered, then hesitated, “Madam, there are many people gathered. Are you sure you want to go?”
Tao Yu thought for a moment and said, “Find a place to stop first.”
“Okay.” The driver immediately stopped the carriage on a small path behind the government office.
He called out, and those heroic and mighty images collapsed again. Tao Yu was startled and quickly reached out to meet him, but in the next second, he was embraced in his arms. Tao Yu immediately forgot about her plan to find Yue Linze and settle accounts with him, and asked in confusion: “What happened?”
“…They bullied me.” Yue Linze’s voice was slightly choked.
Tao Yu emerged from his embrace and saw his eyes were slightly red, obviously having cried, and her brow immediately furrowed: “Who bullied you?”
As soon as she finished speaking, several people came out from the door. An old man with a goatee saw Yue Linze and sighed: “City Lord.”
Yue Linze immediately hid behind Tao Yu, grabbing her clothing belt and nervously looking at the group: “My wife doesn’t agree, so you don’t need to say anything. I won’t agree.”
Tao Yu: “…?” So what exactly was going on, and what was she not agreeing to?
“City Lord, how can you use the City Lord’s wife as an excuse? Besides, you don’t need to do it personally, just stand nearby and watch, even if it’s from far away,” the goatee man advised earnestly.
Yue Linze’s tall figure was slightly hunched, seemingly wanting to completely hide behind Tao Yu, with an attitude of absolutely refusing to submit.
The goatee man could only look at Tao Yu: “Madam, what do you think…”
“What’s going on?” Tao Yu raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t this about investigating Zhou Ying’s drowning? How did it turn into a game of hide-and-seek?
