Episode 38

When Cao Rong saw everyone looking for her, she knew that her husband had betrayed her.I originally wanted to delay the time and hide the truth, but I had no choice but to expose it.She frankly admitted her relationship with the old man, but in fact she was trying to hasten her husband's death in order to get an extra share of the family property when her father distributed it.Unexpectedly, her husband revealed the matter before her.

Fan Songling admitted that his wife was dissatisfied because she did not receive a generous family fortune, so she moved back to her parents' home with the intention of gaining more property.He described the scene of Cao Rong and Duobao going back and forth to the kitchen many times. The two took advantage of Duobao's unpreparedness, quickly implemented the plan, and succeeded easily.Fan Songling claimed that she made a mistake, but Lu Lingfeng pointed out that this was planned for a long time.Cao Rong has no regrets about this. In her heart, only family property comes first.Cao Weng was heartbroken and begged the county magistrate to give him the right to execute the murderer. He even knelt down and begged to comfort his son's spirit in heaven.

Su Wuming raised questions. He believed that during the process of strangling Duobao described by Fan Songling, Duobao's behavior from struggling to suddenly holding his stomach was somewhat unreasonable, so he decided to conduct another autopsy.This decision immediately aroused strong opposition from Cao Xiaoxiao. She was so emotional that she even threatened her own body and life to firmly oppose disturbing her deceased brother's peace again.

Cao Weng was currently immersed in the pain of losing his son. He seemed cold and uninterested in dealing with the three elders who suddenly arrived. He just wanted them to leave as soon as possible.However, these three elders were extremely excited about the news of Duobao's death, eager to conduct an autopsy, and took the opportunity to mention that Cao Weng no longer needed to fulfill his previous agreement and go somewhere.Cao Weng was filled with doubts. He felt that this series of events happened too suddenly, especially because some arrangements were quietly changed on the eve of the incident. There seemed to be unknown secrets hidden behind it.

Cao Xiaoxiao angrily accused Su Wuming of interrupting the joyful moment she originally wanted to celebrate her father.Su Wuming insisted on his opinion, believing that changing the coffin and re-decorating it were a sign of respect and comfort to the deceased.He was keenly aware of the complexity and unusualness within the Cao family, especially the fact that the Cao family's huge property and the rules passed down from generation to generation could be easily changed in a short period of time. There must be a hidden secret behind this.

In addition, Ding Mao, as a housekeeper, appeared in the Cao family's offering painting. This unusual phenomenon deepened Su Wuming's suspicion.He believes that Ding Mao is likely to be one of the key figures in solving the mystery.Therefore, Su Wuming decided to focus his investigation on Fan Songling, trying to open a breakthrough from him.

During the autopsy again, Fan Songling lost control of her emotions and revealed in her words the unusual relationship between Ye Lai and Ding Mao, as well as her embarrassing situation as a son-in-law but entangled with her servant Ding Mao.There seemed to be some fragments of truth hidden in his madness and chaos.Although Ding Mao could not directly express the threat, the eagerness and desire for revenge in his eyes deeply touched Lu Lingfeng.Lu Lingfeng realized that although Ding Mao was silent, he must have a key clue in his heart, but he could not express it for some reason.

Lao Fei was shocked to discover that before his death, Duobao was poisoned with aconitum poison, the most powerful red-neck poison.Thinking of Duobao's frequent visits to the kitchen, everyone speculated that he was thirsty due to poisoning and kept drinking water.Lao Fei pointed out that Cao Weng was the biggest suspect, believing that Duobao's death could help Cao Weng get out of his predicament.Lu Lingfeng speculated that Cao Weng might know about Ding Mao's affair with Ye Lai, and suspected that Duobao was not his biological child.Su Wuming retorted, thinking that Cao Weng was not an ordinary person, and if something was really going on, he would be able to detect it as soon as possible.Later, in Cao Xiaoxiao's house, everyone found signs of poisoning and redneck poison, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Cao Xiaoxiao was astonished and was about to speak when Governor Zhang appeared at the right time and interrupted the conflict that was about to break out.
