Chapter 388 The matter is settled
Xu Muhua sat aside and listened with her mouth twitching, feeling embarrassed and amused. She wondered if she would be scolded if she ran away at this time.
After all, as the person involved, it was really shameful to listen to the elders praising her in various ways in person!
Just as she was thinking about how to resolve the situation, a maid from the manor came over, first bowed to a few people, and then looked at Xu Muhua and said, "Miss, someone came from the city and said that he has done what Miss arranged for him to do. Does Miss want to see him now?"
Xu Muhua knew who the person was when she heard this.
She was a little surprised.
Liang Ming came back so soon?
The second aunt didn't think much about it at first, but soon she thought of Yunniang's matter, and her heart couldn't help but tense up, and she subconsciously stood up. But when she raised her body slightly and saw Xu's mother who looked puzzled, she sat back down again.
Although she sat back down, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of anxiety.
Xu's mother focused on her daughter and didn't notice the second aunt.
"Is it Liang Ming? Muhua, did you send him to do something?"
Xu Muhua didn't deny it, and said, "Well, mother, I arranged for him to help me investigate something a few days ago, and now there should be a result."
Xu's mother has always been an open-minded and tolerant mother. She never interferes too much in her children's affairs, and she doesn't have a terrible desire to control.
So after hearing her say that, he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "In that case, then you go and have a look!"
Xu Muhua stood up and nodded slightly to the three elders, "Grandmother, mother, second aunt, I'll be back soon."
The old lady also waved her hand, "Go!"
Before leaving, she turned around and glanced at the second aunt seemingly inadvertently, giving her a soothing look. Tell the second aunt not to worry, she will take care of it. No matter how anxious the second aunt was
, she could only suppress her anxiety and continue to sit there. It was not clear what exactly happened, so she could only keep it a secret from everyone and wait until it was confirmed before mentioning it.
As soon as Xu's mother turned around, she noticed that the second aunt looked a little strange, and asked with concern: "I see that your face is not right, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
The old lady also asked with concern, and the second aunt smiled and said: "No, no, I just saw Mu Hua just now, and I envied you in my heart! Mu Hua is young, but she looks very calm."
As soon as the topic shifted to her daughter, Xu's mother immediately forgot about everything else.
But the old lady, although old, has good eyesight!
She saw the strange color on the second aunt's face and eyes, looked at the second aunt, and then looked at the direction where the eldest granddaughter left, and thought about it.
Xu Muhua soon met Liang Ming.
Liang Ming handed the things he brought back to her and heaved a sigh of relief. "Miss, I have done what you asked me to do! This is what I got back!"
"Did it go smoothly?"
Xu Muhua did not rush to look through the things, but looked at Liang Ming and asked.
"It went smoothly. There were no accidents on the way. But after we got there, the people there were reluctant to mention it at first, even though they saw the letter."
At first, they said that it had happened so many years ago and there was no need to bother about it.
Later, he had no choice but to reveal some of the information, which made the eldest brother of the eldest lady's second aunt suspicious, and then he got the things smoothly.
After listening to Liang Ming's words, Xu Muhua nodded, "Well done. It's getting late now, you should stay at the manor tonight, have a good rest, and go back to the city tomorrow!"
"Okay, Miss."
Because Xu Muhua said it was urgent, Liang Ming has been rushing these days and has hardly had any rest. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been working non-stop.
Now that things are done, it would be a lie to say that he is not tired.
In fact, he can fall asleep instantly if he lies down now!
Xu Muhua also understood this, so she let Liang Ming rest at the manor.
She also told the servants to prepare some food for Liang Ming, and rest after he had eaten and drunk enough.
Liang Ming is a guard at the Chengguo Mansion, although he did not sign a contract to sell himself. But in the end, he is still a servant, and it is his duty to do things for his master.
Just do your work, and anyone would feel comfortable if they are remembered after they have finished their work.
Liang Ming is like this.
As time goes by, he feels more and more that his original decision is right.
He thinks that now that the eldest lady has been arranged to marry, she will soon enter the East Palace, and no one can predict how far she will go in the future. As long as he follows the eldest lady well, he will not be afraid of not having the opportunity to make achievements in the future!
Xu Muhua first found a quiet and deserted place, sat down and opened the things Liang Ming brought back.
They were the things that the second aunt mentioned, such as the items and jewelry used by Yunniang when she was alive. The most eye-catching thing is the letter that is said to be left by Yunniang.
The suicide note was well preserved. Even after so many years, there was no damage. The words on it had not faded at all and were still clearly visible. Every word and sentence expressed the sadness and despair of the writer, as if there was no desire to live.
It really looked like a suicide note left by a person who wanted to commit suicide.
As for the handwriting, she had also seen Yunniang's handwriting, and it was indeed very similar.
But handwriting can be imitated, and this cannot prove anything.
After reading the suicide note, she put it away carefully, handed it to Wu'er, and asked her to take it back to her room in person. She returned to the elders with a normal expression.
Seeing her second aunt, she nodded slightly.
The second aunt understood instantly.
After sitting for a while, Song Baotong and the others came back, and the small courtyard suddenly became lively. It lasted until the old lady showed a tired look on her face, and then Xu's mother suggested that everyone go back to rest.
She herself supported the old lady and sent her back to the house first. When she saw that everything was almost cleaned up, she left.
The second aunt apparently went back to her room, but in fact, she found an opportunity to slip out and went to find Xu Muhua!
She was not willing to wait at all! She wanted to find out about her sister right away!
When the second uncle returned to the house and saw that no one was there
, he was stunned for a moment. He stopped a servant passing by and asked, "Have you seen the second wife?" The servant was stunned for a moment and then replied, "The second wife came back, but she went out again immediately. She looked very hurried."
The second uncle was furious when he heard this.
What happened to this wife recently! Not only is she worried, but she is also like a different person! Her behavior is very abnormal. What is she doing recently?
