Chapter 294 Strange Things



"Really, Xiang Zhu, when have I ever lied to you?" Sheng Yunrong patted Xiang Zhu's hand and comforted him gently. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, as if telling Xiang Zhu that she had considered this decision for a long time.

Xiang Zhu sniffed and forced a smile: "Then... will Master Tu Su really agree? After all, he is an outsider, and he may not understand the affairs of the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a playful look in her eyes: "Don't worry, Xiang Zhu. Tu Subo is not an ordinary person. His wisdom and vision are far beyond ordinary people. I believe he can understand my painstaking efforts."

As the two were talking, the door of the Sheng Mansion's hall was gently pushed open, and Tu Subo walked in. He was wearing a green gown, with an upright posture and a calm demeanor between his eyebrows. Sheng Yunrong and Xiang Zhu immediately stopped talking and looked at him.

Tu Subo smiled slightly and bowed to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, the weather is fine today, I came here to ask you some questions."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, her eyes full of expectation: "Master Tu Su, please take a seat. I also have something I want to discuss with you."

After Tu Subo sat down, Sheng Yunrong brought the topic to the point: "Master Tu Su, I would like you to help me look at this blueprint. This is a garden I want to build in the backyard of the Sheng Mansion."

Tu Subo took the blueprint and examined it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Sheng Yunrong with a sharp gaze: "Miss Sheng, this blueprint is very cleverly designed, but I want to know, what is your real purpose in building this garden?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "To be honest, I built this garden so that everyone in the Sheng Mansion can find peace of mind here. I want this garden to become a symbol of the Sheng Mansion, so that our family can be more united and more prosperous."

Tu Subo's eyes flashed with admiration. He put down the blueprint and said seriously, "Miss Sheng, your idea is very good. I am willing to help you complete this garden."

Sheng Yunrong laughed happily and clapped her hands, as if a little girl had obtained a favorite toy. "That's great! With your help, I believe this garden will become the pride of the Sheng family."

Xiang Zhu also laughed. She looked at Tu Subo with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Master Tu Su. We in Sheng Mansion will always remember your kindness."

During this process, the relationship between Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo became deeper. They strolled in the garden together, discussed the design of the garden together, and appreciated the beauty of flowers and plants together. Xiang Zhu looked at them and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She knew that the future of Sheng Mansion would be even better.

On the day the garden was completed, Sheng Yunrong stood in the center of the garden, looking at the blooming flowers and green trees around her, her heart filled with joy. She turned and looked at Tu Subo, her eyes full of gratitude: "Master Tu Su, this garden has your sweat and wisdom, it is our crystallization."

Tu Subo smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "Miss Sheng, I do this willingly. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

A hint of shyness flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She lowered her head slightly, then raised it again and looked at Tu Subo firmly: "Master Tu Su, I want to ask you a question."

Tu Subo smiled slightly: "Miss Sheng, please ask."

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and said, "Are you willing to stay in the Sheng Mansion and protect this garden and our family with me?"

Tu Subo looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a flash of shock in his eyes, but soon he showed a warm smile: "I do."

Sheng Yunrong smiled, she held Tu Subo's hand tightly, her eyes full of happiness. Xiang Zhu looked at them and felt happy for them.

"Of course it's true." Sheng Yunrong nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She gently brushed off the dust on her clothes, turned around and walked towards the hall. The officials and servants of the Sheng Mansion bowed and saluted, their eyes showing admiration for this young lady.

When Sheng Yunrong walked into the hall, Tu Subo was already waiting there. He was wearing a blue gown, with a heroic look on his face. When he saw Sheng Yunrong coming in, he immediately stood up to greet her.

"Miss Sheng, what happened today is really surprising." Tu Subo bowed with a sincere tone.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Master Tu Su, you are too kind. This is a long story, please sit down and talk to me in detail."

The two sat down as host and guest, and the maid Xiang Zhu immediately served tea. Sheng Yunrong said softly, "Xiang Zhu, go and ask the second and third young ladies to come over. We have something to discuss."

Xiang Zhu agreed and left quickly. After a while, the second lady of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Wanrong, and the third lady, Sheng Qingrong, came in together. When they saw Tu Subo, they bowed and greeted him.

Sheng Yunrong said: "Today's matter involves the honor of our Sheng Mansion. Please work together to overcome the difficulties."

Sheng Wanrong looked at Sheng Yunrong in confusion: "Sister, what happened? Why is it so serious?"

Sheng Yunrong sighed and said, "This story started three days ago. That day, I was walking in the garden and overheard the servants talking about a strange thing."

Sheng Qingrong asked curiously: "What's strange?"

Sheng Yunrong said: "They said that someone found a body in the back mountain of Sheng Mansion, and that body was not an ordinary body, but was brutally murdered."

Tu Subo's face changed, and he said, "Miss Sheng, this matter is of great importance. We must find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and said, "That's right. I immediately sent people to investigate, but the murderer has not been found yet. Moreover, I suspect that this matter is related to the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Wanrong was surprised and asked, "Sister, are you saying that someone in our Sheng Mansion has committed murder?"

Sheng Yunrong groaned and said, "We cannot be sure yet. But since this happened in the Sheng Mansion, we have the responsibility to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, the reputation of the Sheng Mansion will be seriously affected."

Sheng Qingrong said worriedly: "Sister, what should we do?"

Sheng Yunrong glanced at everyone and said, "I plan to set up an investigation team with Lord Tu Su as the leader, and we will search for clues together."

Tu Subo immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Miss Sheng, I will do my best."

Sheng Yunrong said, "Then I'll trouble you. During this period, everyone should be vigilant and prevent the murderer from committing crimes again."

Everyone responded in agreement, and the atmosphere became tense.

At this time, Xiang Zhu walked in and whispered, "Miss, there is a man named A Tie who wants to see you. He said he has important clues."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes, and she said, "Please come in."

Ah Tie walked into the hall, bowed and said, "Miss Sheng, I have something to tell you."

Sheng Yunrong asked: "Mr. Tie, do you have any clues?"

Ah Tie said, "Three days ago, I passed by the mountain behind Sheng Mansion and saw a man in black running down the mountain in a panic. I thought it was suspicious, so I followed him for a while. Unexpectedly, the man in black turned out to be a servant of Sheng Mansion."
