"We servants don't dare to call Madam so early in the morning. If she blames us, we won't be able to bear it." A servant replied in a low voice, as if he was afraid of getting into trouble.

"We can't just leave people hanging like this, can we?" Xiao Tao spoke beside Su Jinyue, her voice trembling a little.

"Yeah, this scene is really creepy!"

Another servant whispered, "Perhaps there is some injustice, and that is why he cannot find peace."

Hearing this, the people around nodded in agreement and started talking about it.

"Stop talking!" A manager-like man came over with a serious expression, "Go and invite the lady!"

"What should we do? What if the old lady is alarmed..." someone murmured.

"Stop talking nonsense and get the man down quickly!" Su Jinyue said coldly.

After receiving Su Jinyue's order, several servants looked at each other, and finally one of them stepped forward bravely.

Just as the body was carefully put down, a letter with scribbled handwriting slipped from Yuehua's sleeve and fell to the ground.

"What is that?" A servant came over to pick up the letter, then came out and handed it to Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue unfolded the letter and read it carefully. It was a letter written in blood. It was a confession, which made her expression even more solemn.

"Miss, what's written in the letter?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.

"Let's wait until mother comes. You go and watch them first and tell them not to move Yuehua." Su Jinyue replied, with deep meaning in her voice.

"yes."

The servants who were watching began to whisper.

The steward next to him came forward and said to Su Jinyue, "I won't bother you with this matter, Miss. Please go back first."

As soon as she finished speaking, a young maid came hurriedly and said in a panic, "The Madam is here!"

Following the sound of footsteps, Jiang Caiping appeared at the door of the woodshed with a stern expression and glanced at everyone.

"What's going on?" Jiang Caiping asked, with a gleam of blame in her eyes!

"Madam, Yuehua... hanged herself in this woodshed." The steward answered timidly.

"Why didn't you keep an eye on him! How could he let someone hang himself?!" Jiang Caiping shouted angrily, and then her eyes fell on the letter in Su Jinyue's hand.

"Jinyue, what are you holding in your hand?"

Su Jinyue handed over the letter respectfully, "Mother, this is the letter left by Yuehua. After reading it, I found that she admitted that she had embezzled money from the shop."

Jiang Caiping took the letter and frowned after reading it. "She is my maidservant who came with me as a dowry. She has been staying by my side since I came to the Marquis' Mansion."

She tightened her grip around the letter, "I can't believe that the person I entrusted with such an important task would actually betray me like this!"

"Mother, Yuehua was your dowry maid, so she was naturally loyal to you. But she just wrote a suicide note and then hanged herself. I think this is inappropriate." Su Jinyue said.

Hearing this, Jiang Caiping opened her eyes and looked at Su Jinyue, "What do you mean by this?"

"Yuehua was my mother's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She was a good slave without a contract to sell herself."

Su Jinyue said: "If he died like this in our mansion, it would be bad for the reputation of our mansion if it got out."

Jiang Caiping frowned slightly, "It was obviously her who embezzled the money from the shop. Now she committed suicide out of fear of crime. What impact will this have on our mansion?"

"Mother is wrong." Su Jinyue said: "Even if Yuehua is sent to the government, it is not a capital crime."

"It's just a beating. After a few years in prison, he will be released."

Su Jinyue looked at the person lying silently on the ground, "Why did she have to admit her crime and then commit suicide?"

"Forget it, I'll send someone to investigate." Jiang Caiping finally gave in and nodded, "You're right."

Jiang Caiping asked the steward to carry Yuehua's body away first.

The manager called the servant next to him and carried the man out of the woodshed.

When passing by Su Jinyue, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the corpse.

There seemed to be two scars on Yuehua's neck, which made Su Jinyue squint her eyes.

The servants in the courtyard retreated and started discussing outside.

"Madam, do you mean to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

"It seems that this Marquis's Mansion is not peaceful. There have been many troubles recently."

"Yeah, we have to be careful to avoid getting involved!"

"What happened today was really scary."

"That's right. Yuehua looks quite smart on weekdays. Who would have thought..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking so you don't get into trouble."

These whispered conversations were quickly blown away by the wind, as if nothing had happened.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Su Jinyue also prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, she heard Jiang Caiping's calm voice, "Jin Yue, you don't have to worry about what happened today."

Jiang Caiping said: "We all know about the disappearance of the young general of the Zhenguo Mansion."

Su Jinyue was slightly stunned and then relieved. The news was spreading everywhere in the capital, so it was not surprising that they knew about it.

"Yes, mother." Su Jinyue said lightly.

"I know you are worried about General Xiao, but mother is more worried about you. Your grandmother said that if General Xiao is in danger this time, you should cancel the engagement with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and marry Mr. Li from the Hanlin Academy."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Caiping actually said this to her. Su Jinyue raised her lips slightly sarcastically, "Mother, Xiao Duo will be fine. I will not marry anyone else except him."

Seeing Su Jinyue's stubbornness, Jiang Caiping couldn't help but frowned, "If something really happens to him, will you still marry him?"

"Marrying into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and becoming a widow? If something really happens, no one will gossip about you even if you cancel the engagement..."

"Mother!"

Su Jinyue interrupted Jiang Caiping and looked at her with a burning gaze, "I have decided on General Xiao, and I will not retreat even a single step!"
