Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Minister Li also knew that this was very shocking, so he explained, “This was actually my wife’s last wish. She only wanted to leave quietly and wanted me to send her off. We’ve been husband and wife for many years. This was her last request, so how could I not agree? So I didn’t mourn and didn’t say anything. I just sent her off quietly.”

With that said, Minister Li sighed and said, “This happened a month ago. The servants in the residence didn’t know. They only thought that I was keeping Madam company because of her illness, so they closed the door and refused to see guests. Actually, I also wanted to accompany Madam. I have no children in my life, and I have enough money. This is enough, so I wanted to use this opportunity to retire.”

Although Minister Li’s explanation was shocking, it was still reasonable.

He brought Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu to the main room and cleaned up everything.

Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu looked around. Minister Li talked about some things during this period of time.

Zhou Zhi looked at Minister Li and said, “I heard that you once spent a lot of money to find the divine doctor for your wife?”

Minister Li lowered his eyes and replied gloomily, “Yes, it’s a pity that we didn’t find him. There’s no news of the letter we sent. If we really found the divine doctor, perhaps my wife will recover.”

But there were no ifs. His wife was already gone.

The fists hidden in the black robe clenched unconsciously.

Zhou Zhi looked outside and sighed. “It’s a pity that things don’t go as planned in this world.”

“Bring us around.”

After saying that, Zhou Zhi walked out.

They had seen most of this place and did not find any useful information. Su Xiaolu had just shaken her head at Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi understood what Su Xiaolu meant and walked out, followed by Minister Li.

Behind the main courtyard was the backyard. There were several rooms. Zhou Zhi stopped in front of a door and Minister Li quickly went forward to open it.

After opening the door, he said, “This used to be where maidservants slept. It’s empty now.”

Minister Li opened the door and stood sideways. Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu went in to check.

Zhou Zhi walked very slowly. Su Xiaolu started to check after entering. The room had been empty for a long time.

When they checked, Minister Li waited quietly. Sometimes, when Su Xiaolu looked at him, she would quickly avoid his gaze. He lowered his head slightly and looked like a very gentle and elegant old man.

After searching the room, they came out. Minister Li walked behind them and closed the door.

When they reached the main room, Su Xiaolu noticed something.

There was no sign of anyone living in the main room. Why was that?

Was Minister Li not staying here anymore?

Zhou Zhi also noticed this problem. He looked at Minister Li and asked directly, “This is your main room. Didn’t you stay here after your wife passed away?”

Minister Li lowered his head and replied, “Yes, I live in a side room. It will be very sad to stay here.”

Su Xiaolu asked, “Where’s the side room?”

She had always smelled the plague, but she had yet to find the source. What she found strange was why Minister Li was not infected.

Minister Li was slightly stunned when Su Xiaolu asked. He replied, “The side room is next door.”

“Then let’s go take a look.”

Zhou Zhi looked at Minister Li and said.

Minister Li was silent for a moment before saying, “Follow me.”

Minister Li walked in front while Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu followed.

Su Xiaolu was two steps behind and asked Zhou Zhi, “Are you alright?”

After walking for a long time today, Zhou Zhi’s legs might not be able to support him.

Su Xiaolu asked. Zhou Zhi smiled and said softly, “It’s fine. Let’s go.”

Zhou Zhi walked very slowly. No one knew that under the mask, his lips were completely white and his legs were numb from the pain.

They followed Minister Li to the side room next door. Minister Li pushed open the door and invited them in.

There was a faint and elegant fragrance. There was a faint incense smell in this room.

Without waiting for Zhou Zhi to ask, Minister Li said, “My wife liked this incense very much when she was alive. I still order it every day. I think she will like it too.”

Zhou Zhi said calmly, “It’s rare for one to be so in love with someone. There are many people in this world who have women on both sides. There are too few who are single-minded.”

Su Xiaolu frowned. She rubbed her nose, still uncomfortable from the chaotic smell. She began to check the room.

This chaotic smell smelled of plague, incense… and a very faint corpse stench.

Su Xiaolu examined it carefully. She had a feeling that the source of the plague might be here, but there was nothing special in this side room.

The floor was very clean. The tables, chairs, and cabinets were very clean. The vases and screens were also spotless. The incense was by the bed, and the fragrance was not strong.

The curtains on the bed were hung on both sides, and the bedding in the middle was neatly folded.

Su Xiaolu had no intention of leaving, so Zhou Zhi did not speak and looked around.

Minister Li kept his eyes lowered and did not make eye contact with Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi. When they asked, he would answer. If they did not ask, he would remain silent.

Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi stayed in this room. After checking for a long time, Minister Li asked, “There’s also the kitchen and two huts.”

Su Xiaolu frowned. She really couldn’t find anything abnormal, but she could smell that the smell here was strange and all kinds of smells were stimulating her. Her nose was already a little uncomfortable.

The kitchen was a place to cook. It was good to go and take a look. Su Xiaolu nodded at Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi walked out and said calmly, “Then let’s go take a look at the kitchen first.”

Minister Li followed. When they went out, Zhou Zhi looked back. Su Xiaolu also looked back curiously.

Minister Li didn’t notice that and he closed the door very gently. His eyes were gentle.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. The two of them exchanged looks and did not say anything, but they both knew that there was something abnormal about this side room.

They pretended that nothing had happened and continued to look at the kitchen.

There was nothing special in the kitchen. It was just a simple pot and stove. The bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed.

After checking, Minister Li closed the door. He heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to send Su Xiaolu and the others out.

Passing by the side room, Zhou Zhi stopped in his tracks. “Let’s take another look at this room.”

Minister Li paused for a moment before opening the door.

With the imperial power, he naturally could not resist.

As soon as he opened the door, a faint fragrance wafted out. Without opening the door, he could not smell it at all.

Zhou Zhi reached out and rubbed the door. “Minister Li, this door is not bad.”

Minister Li lowered his head and bowed slightly without saying anything.

Su Xiaolu followed Zhou Zhi in and began to check carefully. There must be something wrong with this room, but she had not found it yet.

The side room was not big. There were only two cabinets, a table, a dressing table, and a bed. Where did that faint corpse smell come from?
