Chapter 52 Disappointment
Jiang Shu had no intention of talking to them. The hair and blood on the grass made her feel scared and uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to find it." Shen Changze didn't care about a rabbit, but he knew that Jiang Shu cared.
After saying hello to Lu Mingke, the two went straight to Shen's mother's Tinglan Courtyard.
What Jiang Shu could think of, Shen Changze could naturally think of as well.
Looking at the figures of Shen Changze and Jiang Shu walking away together, Lu Mingke lowered her eyes and glanced at the blood on the grass, and understood.
Jiang Shu's rabbit was probably dangerous.
But this was a family affair of the Marquis' Mansion and had nothing to do with him.
As soon as Shen Changze and Jiang Shu entered Tinglan Courtyard, they saw Snowball lying in the courtyard with his round belly turned up, sleeping comfortably.
"Marquis, Madam." The maid stepped forward and saluted.
Jiang Shu pointed at Snowball and asked, "Did it leave Tinglan Courtyard today?"
The maid was startled, nodded and said truthfully, "Miss San took Snowball out this morning, saying that she wanted Snowball to play with Miss Shaoye and Biaoye."
Shen Qingrong was the third child, and the servants in the mansion all called her Miss Sanye.
After confirming that Snowball had been to the garden today, Jiang Shu did not go directly to find Shen Qingrong, but went to Shouyong Hall first.
Old Madam Shen had just gotten up for a while, looked at the bright sky outside the house, and wondered, "Why did you come so early?"
Today is the first day of the new year, and it is the day when the master of the Marquisate has dinner in Shouyong Hall.
"Grandma, we want to ask Yanyang and Yanhuan a few questions." Shen Changze explained.
Old Madam Shen didn't understand, so she asked the maid to call Yanyang and Yanhuan over.
"Daddy." Yanhuan was very happy to see Shen Changze, and happily threw himself into his arms.
Shen Changze picked her up and asked softly, "Yan Huan, did you go to the garden to play today?"
"Yes, with mother and aunt, as well as brother Xingyuan and Snowball."
"Did you see a rabbit?" Jiang Shu asked anxiously.
Yan Huan seemed to be frightened, huddled in Shen Changze's arms, her face pale.
Shen Changze noticed something was wrong, looked at Yan Yang and said, "Yan Yang, you tell me."
Compared to Yan Huan's fear, Yan Yang was very calm, and spoke clearly about what happened in the garden in the morning.
No one told him not to say it, so Yan Yang told everything truthfully.
When Jiang Shu heard Yan Yang say that Shen Qingrong let a dog bite Bubai to death, and had someone cook Bubai for Snowball to eat, he was so angry that he trembled all over and his eyes were red.
"Shen Qingrong!" Jiang Shu gritted his teeth, got up angrily and went to Huaqing Courtyard.
Shen Changze felt something was wrong, and hurriedly put Yan Huan down and followed.
Old Madam Shen was also frightened by Jiang Shu's reaction, and sent a maid to follow him, and report to her if anything happened.
As soon as Lu Mingke returned to Huaqing Courtyard, Lu Xingyuan pulled him to complain and act coquettishly.
"Daddy, my hand is bleeding."
"How did it happen?" Lu Mingke held Lu Xingyuan's wrapped hand and asked distressedly.
"Rabbit bit me, it hurts." Lu Xingyuan pouted in grievance, tears were about to come out.
Hearing the word "rabbit", Lu Mingke frowned sharply and asked Shen Qingrong, "What happened?"
How could it be so coincidental that Jiang Shu's rabbit disappeared and Xingyuan was bitten by a rabbit.
Shen Qingrong felt a little guilty, but she said righteously, "I took Xingyuan to play in the garden this morning. A rabbit jumped out from nowhere. Xingyuan played with it, and it bit Xingyuan without knowing it."
"Then what did you do to the rabbit?" Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong, observing her expression.
Shen Qingrong dodged her eyes and said lightly, "I taught it a lesson, and then... Snowball bit it to death."
The guess in her heart was confirmed. Lu Mingke frowned heavily and asked the maid to take Lu Xingyuan away. Just when she was about to reprimand Shen Qingrong, Jiang Shu arrived.
"Shen Qingrong, you vicious woman!"
Jiang Shu cursed angrily, raising his hand to hit Shen Qingrong, but was stopped by Lu Mingke.
"Sister-in-law, Qingrong was indeed wrong in this matter, but calm down first, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Shen Changze caught up and grabbed Jiang Shu, looking at Shen Qingrong with blame and slight anger.
"You dare to hit me? The beast you raised bit Xingyuan, and I haven't settled the score with you yet." Shen Qingrong turned the tables, not realizing that she was wrong at all.
Jiang Shu was furious, and questioned Lu Mingke with red eyes: "Is this what Master Lu said?"
Lu Mingke looked at Shen Qingrong with embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Apologize to the sister-in-law."
"Why did her little beast bite Xingyuan? She should apologize." Shen Qingrong stiffened her neck and refused to accept it.
A rabbit that couldn't be more ordinary deserves her to apologize.
Absolutely impossible!
"If you hadn't caught Bubai and tied him up, and prevented the children and dogs from scaring it, how could it have bitten Xingyuan?"
"Besides, even if it had bitten Xingyuan, you could have come to me to discuss a solution. But you should never have tortured it to death!"
"After you tortured it to death, you even spared its corpse. You were so cruel that you skinned it, boiled it, and fed it to the dogs. Shen Qingrong, you are so vicious!"
Jiang Shu shouted hoarsely, his almond eyes were bloodshot, and he wished that Shen Qingrong would pay with his life.
Lu Mingke, who didn't know the inside story, was shocked when he heard Jiang Shu's words.
He stared at Shen Qingrong in disbelief and asked, "Are you really so cruel and vicious?"
"Xingyuan was bitten, so of course I had to deal with the culprit to vent Xingyuan's anger." Shen Qingrong explained indifferently.
It's just a rabbit, if it dies, it dies, why make such a fuss.
Looking at the stubborn and arrogant Shen Qingrong, Lu Mingke felt heartbroken and disappointed.
He had slept with Shen Qingrong for four years, and he always thought that Shen Qingrong was just a little arrogant and had a bad temper, but he never knew that she was so vicious in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stopped you." Lu Mingke moved aside, hinting Jiang Shu to teach Shen Qingrong a lesson.
If it were him, he would have to beat Shen Qingrong to calm
down. Jiang Shu was furious, raised his hand and rushed towards Shen Qingrong.
"Jiang Shu." Shen Changze grabbed her again.
"Are you going to protect her, Lord?" Jiang Shu asked with red eyes.
Shen Changze opened his mouth, unable to speak.
His behavior had already revealed everything, and any explanation seemed pale and hypocritical.
"You also think that it's just a rabbit. No matter what the reason, it deserves to die if it bites someone."
Jiang Shu's tone was sarcastic, and his eyes were full of disappointment and hatred when he looked at Shen Changze.
Shen Changze was hurt, and he said with a stiff face: "That's not what I meant, but Bubai is already dead, and it won't help even if you kill Qingrong."
"So we have to let the murderer go and do nothing." Jiang Shu's heart was as cold as ice, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"Shen Changze, you are so generous, why don't you go to the temple and become a Buddha right now?"
This was the first time Jiang Shu called him by his name, and he was obviously extremely disappointed with Shen Changze.
Shen Changze's heart shuddered, and he felt that he was going to lose something completely.
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of Qingrong, you can hit me or scold me." Shen Changze said guiltily.
On one side is his wife who was married in a formal ceremony, and on the other side is his sister who was born of the same mother. He was really embarrassed and couldn't bear to see either of them get hurt.
"If you dare to hit my eldest brother, the elders of the clan will never let you go." Shen Qingrong was arrogant and didn't take Jiang Shu seriously at all.
