Chapter 121 Bull Goes to Heaven
Wu Liang and Mrs. Wu suppressed their fear and looked over. Indeed, there was no birthmark of their daughter on the corpse's foot.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know who the deceased is, I hope it’s not her daughter.
But then she remembered, since the deceased was not her daughter, where did her daughter go?
Mrs. Wu thought so and asked the question.
When Shen Shixu heard her words, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a possibility.
"Mrs. Wu, you have been in charge of the inner house of the Wu family for many years, so you must be very familiar with the people in the mansion. Please think carefully, besides the young lady of your mansion, has anyone else disappeared in the Wu mansion in the past few days?"
Shen Shixu felt that the body should also belong to someone in the Wu Mansion, and this person should have a very close relationship with Wu Qiaoyun.
As Wu Qiaoyun's mother, Mrs. Wu should be familiar with the deceased.
After Shen Shixu's reminder, Mrs. Wu actually remembered that there was indeed someone missing in the mansion.
"Speaking of which, there is one person missing. It is Fen'er, my daughter's personal maid. When the servant came to report it, I scolded her to the master, saying that this girl was ungrateful. My daughter treated her so well, but as soon as my daughter got into trouble, she disappeared..."
As Mrs. Wu was talking, she remembered something. Fener's figure was very similar to her daughter's, but from the back, even she could hardly tell them apart.
Mrs. Wu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said in surprise, "This, this body, could it be, could it be that girl Fen'er?"
Shen Shixu felt that this possibility was still very high. Although the deceased did not look like a pampered lady, it would make sense if she was Wu Qiaoyun's personal maid.
The maids around the young ladies of wealthy families, especially the favored personal maids, were treated no less well than those of the young ladies of lesser families.
Shen Shixu asked Mrs. Wu again, "Then this Fen'er you mentioned, does she have any obvious features that can identify who she is?"
Mrs. Wu knew something about the people in their house, but she didn't know what characteristics a maid had. They weren't on her face, so they couldn't be seen at a glance.
But Fener was a maidservant of her beloved daughter after all, so she still had some impression of her. She remembered that the back of Fener's hand was burned last month.
That night, Wu Qiaoyun suddenly wanted to drink corn and pork ribs soup. When Fener went to the kitchen to get it, she accidentally bumped into another person and the pork ribs soup spilled. Some of it spilled on the back of Fener's hand, directly scalding her hand.
Mrs. Wu thought of this and said, "Don't tell me, I really know a characteristic of Fen'er. There is a burn on the back of her hand, on the back of her right hand. I remember she was burned last month."
After hearing this, Shen Shixu was 100% sure that the corpse was Fener.
"Now that the body has been identified, we have to start looking for her. Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, based on your understanding of your daughter, do you know where she would go after leaving home?"
Mrs. Wu didn't think so much. She was only worried about Wu Qiaoyun's safety at this time, but Wu Liang thought too much.
"Sir Shen, you are so anxious to find my daughter. Are you worried about her safety, or do you suspect that my daughter has something to do with this?"
The person Shen Shixu hated the most in the entire Wu family was him. When he heard him ask him this question, he replied coldly, "Both! Wu Qiaoyun is a woman who is alone outside, so of course we have to worry about her safety. Similarly, don't you think her disappearance is very strange?"
Since she was not the one who died and she was not the murderer, why did she leave her home and run away instead?
And don't think I don't know what you are planning. My brother told me everything. The wine he drank that day was problematic, and the incense in the room was also tampered with.
He still had a trace of consciousness at the time, and it was only after Wu Qiaoyun came in and made him smell something that he completely fainted.
Based on these points alone, I can reasonably suspect Wu Qiaoyun. ”
Wu Liang didn't think his daughter would have the guts to kill someone and put the blame on someone else. He just thought that Shen Shixu was resentful of what they had done and was deliberately looking for trouble.
Rushing forward to grab Chen Shixu's collar, Xiao Jinyi grabbed Wu Liang's wrist and pulled it to the side, then kicked Wu Liang's knee. With a thud, Wu Liang fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
"My legs, my hands, and my face!"
Xiao Jinyi looked at Wu Liang, who was lying face down on the ground, with disgust. "How dare you! You are so shameless as to fabricate rumors about someone in the royal family. How many lives do you have?"
When Shen Shixu saw Xiao Jinyi was angry with him, his heart started beating wildly.
The well-defined profile, the cold anger in the eyes, the arrogant look down at the people under his feet, exuding a strong hormonal scent, made Shen Shixu very moved.
Xiao Jinyi was keenly aware of this, and he seemed to understand how to make Shen Shixu like him more.
Wu Liang didn’t understand what Xiao Jinyi said, he clearly just made up rumors about Shen Shixu, how did it get involved with the royal family?
Xu Wanda was also a little puzzled, and of course he didn't dare to ask Shen Shixu or Shen Zexi, and happened to notice Shen Zexi standing lazily on the side.
"Mr. Shen, what does this lord mean? I remember that the old bastard Wu Liang was making up a story about Lord Shen. How did he get involved with the royal family?"
Shen Zexi cleared his throat and said proudly: "Not long ago, His Majesty granted a marriage between my brother and His Royal Highness Prince Jing. From now on, my brother will be the Prince Jing, and naturally he will be a member of the royal family.
Not only that, the emperor also conferred the title of Gan'an Jun on my brother, and wrote in the imperial edict that no one should look down on him. He also retained my brother's original position as Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. ”
Xu Wanda knew that Shen Shixu was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so awesome! It’s absolutely amazing!
Xu Wanda thought about his relationship with Shen Shixu, and felt that he still didn't pay enough attention to him. He reminded himself in his heart that he should be careful in the future and must not offend Shen Shixu, otherwise his official position would be over.
At the same time, he also confirmed Xiao Jinyi's identity. This person was definitely the legendary His Royal Highness Prince Jing.
Wu Liang and Madam Wu also heard what Shen Zexi said, and unlike Xu Wanda’s relief and admiration, the two of them just felt like the sky had fallen.
Thinking about the stupid things the two of them had done, it felt like an invisible knife was hanging over their necks, making them feel cold.
At this moment, neither of them cared about their daughter who was outside. They were only thinking about how to beg for mercy from Shen Shixu and ask him not to hate them.
