Chapter 371 The Death of Nuan'er
"There are many people on the mountain now. If she goes out and spreads rumors, it will damage our reputation."
Jiang Siying frowned.
Although Chen Xinyue always tried to get her attention, she didn't like this younger sister. She always felt that there were hidden daggers in what the other girl said, and that she would stab her from time to time.
Her mother had also said that the Chen family mother and daughter were not simple, and told her to avoid them as much as possible.
Ever since Yu Zhiyi returned, her dislike for Chen Xinyue has intensified.
Jiang Yuwei, who cared deeply about the reputation of the Martial Alliance, immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "Go find them quickly!"
Yu Zhiyi put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "In my opinion, we should all look for it together. There's strength in numbers."
Xiao Qingxuan said coldly, "Send someone to interrogate Chen Ruolan; she must know something."
Jiang Yuwei didn't really want to go through all this trouble, but since Yu Zhiyi, the person who hosted the banquet, had already left, he had no choice but to go and search for her as well.
Xiao Qingxuan led her men directly to Chen Ruolan's courtyard, only to find that Chen Ruolan was also gone.
"Oh no!"
She turned around, intending to tell Yu Zhiyi and the others the news.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the door close silently.
An unfamiliar fragrance wafted to her nose, and her expression changed: "Hold your breath!"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Xiao Qingxuan and her four servants all fainted.
On the other side.
Yu Zhiyi first led people to Chen Ruolan's courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, her expression changed.
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir also frowned: "What a strong smell of blood!"
Li Rou was startled: "The smell of blood? Could it be that Miss Chen is injured? She's not missing, but someone attacked her and she's hiding somewhere?"
Yu Zhiyi looked in one direction and tugged at the corner of her lips: "Go over and see what's going on."
Disorganized footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an frowned: "My lord, I fear there may be a trap."
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "It's alright."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked in one direction.
Chen Xinyue's yard is not small, and it is divided into a front yard and a back yard.
The front yard houses the master bedroom and living room. In the middle of the yard is a small flower bed, next to which sits a swing, which looks quite elegant.
The backyard contained servants' quarters, a kitchen, an outhouse, a woodshed, and a well.
The smell of blood was coming from the woodshed.
The closer you get to the kitchen, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an took the lead and kicked open the door of the woodshed.
"ah!!"
Li Rou was terrified by the scene inside and screamed.
Although she had already guessed what had happened, Yu Zhiyi's face still darkened when she actually saw the scene in the woodshed.
In the cold, damp woodshed, Nuan'er knelt on the ground, her body stiff, and she had stopped breathing.
She had a large hole in her chest, from which blood was flowing freely, and two dark holes had appeared in her eyes.
When the group pushed open the door and entered, they saw a kneeling corpse with empty eyes.
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an instinctively wanted to leave.
He wasn't afraid, but he was worried that Yu Zhiyi and Li Rou would be afraid.
Um... the main thing is that Li Rou is afraid.
After all, their family elders possessed extraordinary abilities, and they weren't even afraid of ghosts...
Just then, a surprised exclamation rang out: "Sister? What are you doing here?"
"Oh my god!"
Chen Xinyue and You Bingyue stood not far away, Chen Xinyue's face full of doubt.
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir's expression changed, and he tried to close the door to the woodshed.
However, it was too late.
As You Bingyue twitched her nose, she saw the actions of the Marquis of Wu'an's heir and quickly stepped forward.
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an tried to stop her, but he didn't expect Chen Xinyue to make a move.
So, while he was on guard against You Bingyue, Chen Xinyue kicked open the door.
"Ah! Nuan'er!"
Chen Xinyue seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable. She staggered backward, her pretty face turning deathly pale, and tears streamed down her face in the blink of an eye.
Just then, another group of strangers barged into the courtyard.
The door to the woodshed was wide open, and these people immediately saw Nuan'er in her strange posture.
Several timid people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Even the bravest among them were startled by the corpse.
Although they often fight and occasionally kill, no one would be so idle as to arrange the corpses like this.
He looks like a psychopathic killer.
Jiang Liuyi rushed over upon hearing the commotion, only to encounter Du Ziheng, who had also come after hearing the news, and immediately felt unlucky.
Seeing his former brother-in-law looking at him with disdain, Du Ziheng felt a little unhappy, but remembering that the other party was Yu Zhiyi's own brother, he suppressed his displeasure and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother-in-law."
"Don't call me that," Jiang Liuyi said coldly. "My sister has already divorced you. You have nothing to do with the Jiang family."
Du Ziheng felt slightly annoyed.
He was used to a smooth life since childhood. His father was the prime minister, and he was always the "other people's child". Apart from those few royal children, who around him didn't respect him?
If Jiang Liuyun weren't Yu Zhiyi's older brother, he would definitely have turned against this guy!
Forcing himself to suppress his anger, he hurriedly pushed open the door and went inside.
Following the crowd, the two quickly arrived outside the woodshed, and were equally astonished by the scene inside.
Seeing You Bingyue come out of the woodshed, Du Ziheng quickly stepped forward: "Bingyue, what happened?"
You Bingyue looked hesitant: "Youlin, send everyone away first, let's talk behind closed doors."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it certainly wasn't quiet either.
Most of the people in the room were martial arts practitioners, each with sharp ears and eyes, and their deliberately lowered voices seemed to be a waste of time.
"Young lady, why are you treating us differently? What's the meaning of deliberately kicking us out? Is there some hidden story behind this murder case?"
"Could it be that one of you did it?"
Feuds and life-or-death battles are not uncommon in the martial arts world, but most of these are open and aboveboard acts of fighting.
They are the type that people in the martial arts world can tolerate, and might even join in to watch the spectacle.
But bullying the weak or even premeditated murder is like dancing on the taboos of gangsters.
Moreover, there was just an incident where the Left Protector of the Demonic Sect set up an attack, and now someone from the Martial Alliance has been killed. It all seems suspicious.
You Bingyue stammered, and Chen Xinyue also looked troubled.
Seeing the two women like this, the martial arts man became even more anxious: "What exactly happened? Stop beating around the bush and just tell us!"
Seemingly pressured by everyone, Chen Xinyue looked at Yu Zhiyi apologetically and said, "When Miss You and I heard the commotion and rushed over, we found that Nuan'er was already dead."
"At that time, only my sister and her maidservant were in the courtyard."
"Moreover, the guard was standing at the door of the woodshed. When he saw us coming, his first reaction was to close the door."
