"Su Zhu came over just now and said that the Madam wanted to see you and asked you to go there tomorrow morning."

"I suspect it's something that happened to Aunt Zhao during the day. Madam has always valued that child very much and warned you not to touch the heir of the Marquis's mansion. You must explain it to her when the time comes."

Xiaoman closed the door and left.

Chen Wei closed his eyes and sat in silence all night.

The next morning.

Qin Shuyu heard the bad news while she was getting dressed and making up.

Su Zhu seemed to have heard some shocking news. With a look of sorrow on her face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, Miss Lin... passed away last night."

boom--

At first, Qin Shuyu didn't react. She was holding the jade hairpin in her hand and was about to insert it into her hair. When these sudden words came out, the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Broken.

"You, what did you say?" Qin Shuyu's pupils dilated, and she covered her pounding heart in shock. "Which eldest lady of the Lin family?"

"Lin Yun'er, the cousin you have the best relationship with."

Qin Shuyu's body shook, unable to accept it.

The Lin family was a family of third-rank officials and officials. They used to hold important positions, and their mansion was always crowded with people.

Unfortunately, the Lin family has declined in recent years, and Lord Lin has no real power and only has superficial glory.

And this Miss Lin is Mrs. Lin’s eldest daughter. She has already been engaged and the marriage has been finalized. She will be getting married in a few months.

"How could it be? How could Yun'er just disappear out of nowhere..."

"Madam, I heard from the messenger that Miss Lin accidentally fell into the water while she was out burning incense a few days ago. She was seen naked by a man from outside the family, and the two had physical contact."

"That guy also knew she had a red scar on her ankle."

"Last night, Madam Lin took Miss Lin to confront the stranger. I don't know what they said during the conversation... Madam Lin decided to kick Miss Lin out of the house and make her marry the stranger directly."

"As a result, Miss Lin crashed into the wall and died on the spot."

Qin Shuyu fell on the stool, shook his head in sudden realization and pain, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Yun'er is her cousin, and the age difference between them is not that big.

They often played together when they were young, and she would always remember that the obedient and gentle Yun'er affectionately called her Sister Yu... and said that she was the best sister in the world who treated her best, even better than her mother.

"Yun'er always has a maid accompanying her when she travels. Even if she falls into the water, there will be a personal maid by her side to rescue her."

"How could you have skin contact with a man outside of yours?"

"Where are the maids?"

Qin Shuyu clutched the corner of the table in grief. "What on earth did they do? How could they let a man get close to them? And in the end, it was leaked and ruined their reputation."

“........”

Chen Wei heard all the words coming out of the room clearly.
