Chapter 311: Madam Li Is DeadTranslator: 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."
