After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 241 Appointment

The next morning, Yoko was washing up in her room when she heard a noise downstairs and hurried out to check what was going on.

Search carefully, leaving no corner untouched!

Seeing Chen bringing a few people upstairs in a threatening manner, Yoko suddenly felt uneasy.

, what are you doing?

The gentleman lost something important last night and thought it must have been left somewhere at home, so he sent us here to look for it.

Don’t worry, ma’am. These are my trusted advisers. We are just going through the process.

Okay, then you guys better be quick and don’t break anything in the room.

, I have checked other rooms but didn’t find anything. Now the only room left is my wife’s.

Report, we found this from the corner of the cabinet.

One of the men came over, carefully holding a half-burned piece of paper in his hand, with the two big words "" faintly written on it.

Yoko's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came over her again.

Could this piece of scrap paper be what Li Weijun lost?

This is not good. If it were complete, I could easily find an excuse to get away with it.

But the burnt fragments were found in my room...

He held the piece of paper tightly in his hand and his expression did not look good.

I had planned everything, but I didn't expect that Hong Mudan would use this trick to shift the blame to my wife. I'm afraid she won't let my wife off easily this time...

Madam, what happened?

Aunt Zhang, you don't know yet, I found it in my wife's room! It's impossible, I clean my wife's room every morning, it's just one night, what could be wrong?

Could it be something unclean?

Don't scare me, I believe this the most and I can't stand being scared!

Madam, let's go. We have to give an explanation to our husband.

Where are you taking your wife?

Aunt Zhang, Lao Li asked me to do something. I will be back soon. Please take care of yourself.

After Yoko left Li Mansion, she was taken directly to a temporary place.

Li Weijun stood at the door looking at her, while Yoko sat there motionless, and the two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time.

Don't you have anything to say?

What can I say? The thing was found in my room, and I happened to be in your study yesterday. It is reasonable for you to treat me well.

Then you should know the contents of the copy I lost.

How would I know? It's been burnt like that. It's good enough that we can see it's just a piece of paper.

Okay, then let me ask you again, what is your relationship with Hong Mudan? We just worked together, but our relationship is not that deep. Oh, by the way, why are you asking me about this? Aren’t you the one who knows these things best?

When you went into the study to help me find something yesterday, who else went in?

Except for Aunt Zhang who went in for a while at the beginning, there was no one else.

By the way, Hong Mudan went in there. She was holding a cup of tea in her hand and she spilled the tea on me.

However, she didn't stay for long before I yelled her out.

You won't blame me for yelling at her, right? At worst, I'll let you yell back!

Do you think it's that boring?

Let's stop here for today and lock the door. Sir, you know it's not your wife...

What is not? Now all the evidence points to her, and those old guys can't hold back any longer as the power of disposal is in my hands.

What I am doing now is just stalling for time. The validity period of the certificate is only four days. After these four days, no matter success or failure, I will find a way to clear her name. As for Hong Mudan, she took the leave first, and then caused Asano Ichiro's sister to be arrested. What do you think will be her fate?

So, how's the investigation going?

My wife's whereabouts are very mysterious and no information about her has been found in the past ten years.

Our people also found out through the information they retrieved that she was Ichiro Asano's sister.

Until a few days ago, I accidentally got a photo from there, you see...

Li Weijun took the photo in his hand. The girl in the photo was only about seven or eight years old, and she looked very noble. The girl's eyebrows and eyes in the photo were very similar to his wife, but the mole at the corner of her eye could not be explained...

After listening to the analysis, Li Weijun couldn't help but laugh.

If he could make out all the twists and turns in this matter with just a few words, then there would be no need to hide it.

But if you tell me the truth, I can save you...

Sir, all the information you want is here.

Well, what about that woman?

Apart from the fact that he often visits his wife, there is nothing suspicious about him.

That only means that it is not yet time for her to take action. She is much more anxious about dealing with these materials than we are.

Then I'll arrange it now.

In addition, you must keep a close eye on Red Peony, and add fuel to the fire when appropriate. It is justified for me to use her as a scapegoat.

Why didn't you explain to your wife that you brought Red Peony back? She doesn't need to know this.

Madam, please go to the study and find a copy for your husband. Once you find it, please wait at the door. I will be there in ten minutes.

Aunt Zhang, go get the key to Lao Li's study.

Just as Hong Mudan was about to go out, she ran into Yoko who was in a hurry. She changed her mind and followed her.

Madam, why are you so anxious? Is there something urgent? Do you need my help?

Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This is not the place for you!

Madam, I'm in the kitchen. Just call me if you need anything.

Okay, go do whatever you need, I'll be alone here.

Hong Mudan had no intention of leaving, but stood at the door watching Yoko busying around.

Although he looked relaxed, his eyes were fixed on the movements of Yoko's hands without relaxing for a moment.

Found it, it’s here.

Yoko was about to leave with the bag she found, when she suddenly looked up and an inconspicuous secret compartment caught her attention.

Hong Mudan, who was standing at the door, obviously noticed it, and in order to avoid suspicion, she quickly hid behind the wall.

Maybe this is what I want, but I have to find a way to confirm it.

Yoko quietly looked around and after making sure that no one was around, she tapped the secret compartment a few times with her knuckles to test the situation.

Empty?

Could it be hidden here?

There was no password-like thing in the secret compartment. Yoko reached out and easily pulled out the compartment embedded in the wall. There was an inconspicuous thing inside.

really......

However, this is not a good time to take it, what if I expose myself...

Besides, given Li Weijun's cautiousness, he would never put something so important in such a conspicuous place.

Yes.....the things inside were fake things used to confuse others.....due to time constraints, Yoko didn't have time to think about it and put it back into the secret compartment.

Mrs?

Red Peony suddenly appeared behind Yoko, startling the distracted Yoko.

As she turned around, she knocked over the teacup in Hong Mudan's hand, and the tea spilled all over Yoko. Hong Mudan hurriedly took out a piece of silk cloth from her body and wiped it for her.
