Furong, concubine Zhu's personal maid, felt Yan Yunshu's gaze and was stunned.
She hid in the crowd and observed quietly for a long time, and just now she sent the little maid beside her to inform Aunt Zhu.
But how did Yan Yunshu see her so accurately in the crowd? Was it just a coincidence?
People from the Ministry of Justice and government offices came and started to get busy.
Investigate the scene and conduct preliminary examination of the body.
Yan Yunshu sat back in the pavilion and continued to eat while watching them busy themselves.
There is no need to investigate the scene. Since my aunt did this, she must have ordered her own people to be the first to discover the scene. The traces left behind should have been cleaned up long ago.
But she arrived in time.
The body has not been sent away yet. As long as there are any clues, this matter cannot be buried hastily like the death of an ordinary servant.
"Miss, there are no traces of any kind found at the scene. A preliminary examination of the body revealed no obvious injuries. I will have to take the body back for a thorough examination."
The officials from the Yingtian Prefecture Yamen bowed to Yan Yunshu and reported respectfully.
Yan Yunshu was about to give an order when someone ran into the crowd.
"No, no." The man was wearing plain clothes, his hair was not decorated in any way, just draped randomly, and his face was surprisingly pale and haggard.
Yan Yunshu looked carefully and realized that it was Aunt Zhu!
But in just one night, are you so worried about the dowry?
Not only was he worried, he was also so terrified that he even killed his own niece!
Haha… Yan Yunshu sneered, “What are you doing, Aunt? Are you trying to meddle in the affairs of the maids in my courtyard?”
"No, Shu'er, listen to what Auntie said. How can we alert the government to the affairs of our servants? Even if they are beaten to death, it is only a matter of a word from our master."
"Auntie, you know how much I care about them." Yan Yunshu said, her eyes red. "Auntie, even if I have to overturn the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will seek justice for them."
The aunt's face paused. "Child, what kind of justice is this? They just fell into the water by accident. Who can they blame? Why mobilize such a large force just for two servants? Shu'er, be good and listen to your aunt..."
"I don't believe that I fell into the water! That's all a lie. It was snowing heavily and they never go out at night. Auntie doesn't know, but I know everything."
When saying the four words "clearly and clearly", Yan Yunshu deliberately deepened her tone.
Aunt Zhu only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
"Shu'er, those two only knew how to bewitch and deceive you. It would be better if they died. Why would you be so devoted to such a lowly and sinister slave? Auntie, Auntie can't stand it anymore."
Yan Yunshu snorted coldly. They were both pretending and she couldn't stand it.
Zhu Hong and Zhu Lu also said that they couldn't stand it at first, but actually...
You two are really not from the same family. You don't even live in the same house.
"Auntie, Shu'er has a scale in her heart. She knows who treats me well and who treats me badly." Yan Yunshu said slowly. She took a sip of tea. "Auntie, you look a little unwell. It's freezing cold out here. You'd better go back. Don't get sick and blame Shu'er for it."
"How could that be, Shu'er..."
The aunt looked at Yan Yunshu, with unconcealable hatred in her eyes, and a hint of expectation.
I hope that after the gossips are gone, Yan Yunshu can return to her former self and let them do whatever they want.
It’s a pity that Yan Yunshu took sip after sip of tea, but her expression remained sullen, without any sign of relaxation.
"Please take a seat." Since you don't want to leave, just stay and watch the show.
The aunt's personal maid reacted quickly and put a warm cloak on the aunt, helped her sit down, and brought her a cup of hot tea.
Aunt Zhu held a cup of hot tea. The tea was very warm, but it could not warm her heart.
Killing a few servants who were originally indentured to her was nothing more than killing a few servants. The lives of such servants were her own and it didn't matter much. But that servant was her niece. If her brother knew about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
What's more, in addition to this, there is also a large dowry that is imminent. If Yan Yunshu insists on asking her to return it, she will have to go into debt to barely get it together.
The early morning light suddenly dimmed at this moment, the sky darkened, and light snow began to fall again.
Yan Yunshu stood up and looked at the two officials from the Ministry of Justice. "Let's take him back to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation."
The two officials from the Ministry of Justice standing nearby looked at each other and said, "Miss, this is a family affair of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It only involves servants. I'm afraid the Ministry of Justice cannot take this case..." Yes, they came here out of respect for the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could they mobilize the Ministry of Justice for a case involving only two servants?
"Really?" Yan Yunshu looked behind the two of them with a smile on her face.
Only Xu Jinghuai's voice was heard.
"Take it back to the Ministry of Justice and have it carefully examined. If there are any mistakes or omissions, you will be held accountable."
Everyone looked at Xu Jinghuai, only to see that his expression was stern, his eyes were like frost, and his whole body exuded an intimidating majesty. The two officials from the Ministry of Justice quickly bowed their heads in response.
"Your Highness, you are here."
Yan Yunshu laughed.
Her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are like stars, and her upturned mouth corners have faint dimples.
It's so beautiful that you can't open your eyes.
"Yes." Xu Jinghuai stood beside Yan Yunshu and said, "Take her back."
Aunt Zhu looked ashen, but she had already met Xu Jinghuai yesterday. At this moment, she said nothing and could only watch the Ministry of Justice take away the bodies of her two nieces.
Then he watched Yan Yunshu and Xu Jinghuai walk out of the backyard.
She was at her wit's end. She couldn't tell Prime Minister Yan the whole truth, and without Yan Shuyao's help, she could only return to her own courtyard, change her clothes, and go to the residence of her eldest son, Zhu Nianyan.
On the other side, Xu Jinghuai and Yan Yunshu were sitting in a private room in Caiyunfang.
Sit opposite each other.
"Xu Jinghuai, what a coincidence that you came today."
"Um."
"Xu Jinghuai, I want to thank you again today. How come you are always so timely?"
"Um."
"Xu Jinghuai, you give me a full sense of security!"
"Um."
Xu Jinghuai kept saying "hmm hmm" and Yan Yunshu kept talking. As she was talking, Yan Yunshu suddenly thought of something.
She suddenly stood up, "Xu Jinghuai, stand up."
Xu Jinghuai stood up in confusion.
"Xu Jinghuai, come to me."
Xu Jinghuai moved to Yan Yunshu's side stiffly.
Then, Yan Yunshu took the initiative to hug Xu Jinghuai, "Xu Jinghuai, are you happy?"
