The night fell like a huge black curtain, covering the entire Lu family.

The originally peaceful courtyard was suddenly broken by a burst of noise, as if a bomb had been dropped on the calm surface of a lake.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. This harmonious family atmosphere didn't last long before troubles began again?

The two walked out of the house and followed the sound to the main room.

I saw Old Mrs. Lu sitting in the middle, the wrinkles on her face looked like they were carved by a knife, deeply twisted together, as if someone owed her eight million.

She held the crutch tightly in her hand and knocked it on the ground again and again, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound that made people feel creepy.

"You two! Look at what you've done!" Old Mrs. Lu's voice was eight octaves higher than before, like a hen with its feathers blown off. "Ever since you came back, there hasn't been a single day of peace at home! Are you jealous of our family not doing well?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Qiqi was directly accused of destroying family harmony.

Shen Qiqi felt so wronged, even more wronged than Dou E!

She didn't do anything, but the blame fell from the sky. This old lady is really good at shifting the blame.

Lu Qing frowned, and just as he was about to explain, Old Lady Lu raised her hand to interrupt him, "Don't even think about quibbling, you two! Look at what a mess you've made of this family! I, an old woman, was really blind to marry such a jinx!"

Listening to these harsh words, Shen Qiqi felt like a huge stone was blocking her chest, making her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth so hard that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and tried hard to suppress the urge to refute. This old lady was really confused and completely unreasonable. She was simply the spokesperson for old-fashioned mind control (PUA). If she said a few more words, she would be so angry that she would explode.

Seeing that Shen Qiqi's face was not right, Lu Qing pulled her hand distressedly, wanting her not to argue with the old lady.

But he knew in his heart that this could not go on like this. If it continued like this, he and Qiqi would be driven crazy by the old lady.

He was about to say something when his cousin carefully pulled the corner of his clothes and gave him a look that was full of fear and hesitation.

Lu Qing looked at his cousin in confusion, but saw that his cousin immediately retracted her head, like a frightened little rabbit, and buried her head in the crowd again.

When Shen Qiqi saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt something was wrong.

She keenly felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

"Lu Qing," Shen Qiqi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I think we need to look for him again."

Lu Qing nodded, and the two exchanged glances, understanding each other tacitly.

They all know that if they want to clear their name, they must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and uncover the truth hidden in the shadows!

"I feel," Shen Qiqi's eyes were calm, and she glanced at everyone present thoughtfully, with a meaningful smile on her lips, "This drama has just begun." It was late at night, and the Lu family compound was shrouded in an eerie silence.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing returned to the room. They both tacitly did not turn on the lights. The room was pitch black, with only the occasional chirping of insects outside the window breaking the silence.

"This old lady changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book." Shen Qiqi complained in a low voice, her tone full of helplessness, "I don't know who is fanning the flames behind this, this fire is burning too fiercely."

Lu Qing sighed softly, reached out and held Shen Qiqi's hand: "Don't worry, I will find out." His hand was warm and strong, which gave Shen Qiqi great comfort.

Shen Qiqi held Lu Qing's hand back, her eyes firm: "Well, let's go together."

After discussing it, the two decided to look for clues in every room of the Lu family again.

Shen Qiqi opened the door quietly and slipped out silently like a nimble cat.

She first went to Mrs. Lu's room and carefully searched every corner, even under the bed and on top of the cabinet, but found nothing.

Then she went to her eldest uncle and second uncle's rooms, but still didn't find anything suspicious.

Just when Shen Qiqi was about to give up, she came to her uncle's wife's room.

My uncle and his wife's room was decorated very exquisitely, with a touch of petty-bourgeois style everywhere, which was incompatible with the simplicity of that era.

Shen Qiqi keenly sensed something was wrong.

She began to search the room carefully, but her uncle's wife seemed to have anticipated this and followed her closely, her eyes full of vigilance and provocation.

"Third sister-in-law, what are you doing? Do you suspect that I stole your things?" The eldest uncle's wife said sarcastically, her tone full of ridicule.

Shen Qiqi looked at her fearlessly, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes: "Uncle, I just want to see your room, why are you so nervous?"

There was a tense atmosphere between the two, as if a fierce conflict would break out at any time.

At this moment, Shen Qiqi's eyes fell on a vase on the bedside table.

The vase looked ordinary, but it gave her a strange feeling.

She walked forward, pretending to admire the vase, and tapped the bottom of it lightly with her fingers.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound, as if something was hidden inside.

Shen Qiqi was delighted and moved the vase away calmly. Sure enough, she found a secret compartment under the vase.

There was a letter hidden in the secret compartment, and there was no writing on the envelope.

Shen Qiqi carefully took out the letter, her heart pounding.

She had a hunch that this letter might be the key to uncovering the truth!
