Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the return journey from the tomb-sweeping, Mo’er sat outside the carriage with Lu Ying, willingly giving up the space to the clingy engaged couple. Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t have asked for more.

He now had a chance to be alone with his soon-to-be wife.

“Wife,” he casually asked, “why is it only you who came for the tomb – sweeping?”

Liu Shimei replied, “My brother died young, and the elders naturally couldn’t come to sweep the tomb. The others weren’t particularly close to him, so they paid their respects at the ancestral hall. That’s about it. When I go back later, I’ll be staying overnight with my brother tonight.”

It was a habit the original host had insisted on for five years.

Every year on April 24th, the original host would stay the night in the ancestral hall. She hadn’t let Mo’er come along, insisting on spending the night quietly by herself.

“Why did Master come back so early? Wasn’t he supposed to build a relationship with the future princess?” Li Xin thought that his master, having gone out today, wouldn’t return until the evening.

Huangfu Lingyao gave him a cold look and asked, “Last time I had you investigate my wife’s matter, did you find anything unusual about Liu Quan?”

Li Xin did not understand why he suddenly brought this up, but considering that today was Liu Quan’s memorial day, it did not seem strange.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, “On this day five years ago, Young Master Liu made an appointment with someone to go to the Eastern Suburb Horse Racing Field for a horse race. There were no issues throughout the day. It was only after returning to the Imperial Capital that the incident occurred.”

“The main streets of the inner city don’t allow galloping horses. After entering the city gates, Young Master Liu took his horse to Western Mountain Villa to buy something.”

“After coming out, the horse somehow got startled. In order to prevent the frightened horse from running into the crowd and causing harm, Young Master Liu mounted the horse to try and control it. But, as everyone knows, he not only failed to control the horse but also fell from its back. The spooked horse trampled him in the chest, and that’s how… He didn’t even make it back to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence; he had already passed away!”

“It’s been quite a while, and even if someone schemed, all evidence would have been erased. We can’t find out the specific reasons anytime soon.”

Listening to Li Xin’s account of the incident, Huangfu Lingyao remained silent throughout.. Li Xin then asked, “Master, why are you suddenly concerned about this matter?”
