Chapter 350: I pushed her down
"Tell me in detail," Xie Yingmian said, "How did she fall into the water?"
Lord Xie said, "I don't know exactly how I fell into the water, and the Shen family never told me."
"When I received the news, she had already been fished out of the water."
"She had a high fever for several days when she fell into the water, but she recovered after the fever subsided."
"But I always felt like she was a different person, and my heart-pounding feeling disappeared."
When Lord Xie said this, he glanced at Xie Yingmian and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't lie."
"The last time I saw her, I was so moved that I couldn't help myself."
"When I went to see her again after she fell into the water, I didn't have that feeling anymore."
"It's strange. She's still the same person, still so gentle and beautiful, but something is different."
"Because our wedding date is approaching, it's too late for me to regret it."
"I also comforted myself, thinking that she might have been frightened and would recover after a while."
"On our wedding night, when I lifted her red veil, I was met with a pair of icy eyes, like those of a venomous snake or a hawk. They made my hair stand on end. I wasn't afraid of you laughing at me, I was so scared I fell to the ground."
"I spent my wedding night in the study."
"After that day, Chen Yu moved alone to the most remote corner of the Marquis' Mansion. She rarely met me, and I didn't want to see her either."
Lord Xie frowned.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You may not believe it if I tell you."
"I always suspected that Shen Yu was already dead when she fell into the water, and her body was taken over by a wandering ghost who came from nowhere."
"Chen Yu is no longer Chen Yu, no longer my lover, so I don't feel the pounding of my heart, so I feel strange."
"I even asked a Taoist priest to come."
"Of course, those Taoist priests are all scammers. After so many rituals, Shen Yu still hasn't changed. I even found the abbot of Huangyun Temple, but he couldn't explain it either."
"She feels so strange to me, I don't want to see her."
"When I see her, I think of the lover who once made my heart flutter so much that I wanted to spend my whole life with her. You may not be able to understand the feeling of heartbreak."
"She is still her, but she is not her."
"Sometimes fate is really ridiculous. I thought I had found the love of my life, my soul mate, but just when I thought I was at the pinnacle of life, it dealt me a heavy blow."
"My lover is still alive, but he's gone. I don't know how to describe the disappointment, the pain, the despair, the regret."
There were tears in Lord Xie's eyes.
For the sake of his beloved, he transformed from a playboy into a real man who can stand on his own.
After the love is gone.
His heart died too.
So, he lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery, and spent most of his life in a daze.
Xie Yingmian could almost come to a conclusion.
Chen Yu, like her, was a transmigrated soul.
The real Shen Yu should have died when he fell into the water.
Lord Xie said, "Chen Yu's death is indeed related to me."
"She and I have never consummated our marriage, and the child in her belly cannot be mine."
"You hate me for being normal."
"If you want to avenge your mother, everyone has their own share of responsibility. Come at me, don't touch Baoyu."
Xie Yingmian had asked almost all the questions she needed to ask.
She said, "I'm not interested in Xie Baoyu's marriage."
"As long as Xie Baoyu doesn't provoke me, I will ignore her."
Lord Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xie Yingmian doesn't cause trouble, it's fine.
It was already afternoon when we left the Marquis' Mansion.
Dusk is falling and the setting sun is like melting gold. It is a rare good day.
Xie Yingmian leaned against the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Lingye asked.
"I was thinking about Chen Yu falling into the water." Xie Yingmian's eyes were still closed, and her voice was like a whisper. "Have you heard of reincarnation?"
Yu Lingye: "Do you also think that the real Chen Yu is dead?"
Xie Yingmian nodded.
She tended to believe that Lord Xie had not lied.
This Chen Yu is not that Chen Yu.
"These are just guesses, I still need to confirm it." Xie Yingmian said.
Yu Lingye: "Someone in the Shen family must know what happened."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye looked at each other.
The two smiled at each other.
On a dark and windy night, it is the time to rob people.
That night.
Cang Yue dragged the Shen family's old housekeeper to Zhaixing Tower with ease.
The old butler was terrified.
Xie Yingmian didn't even try to intimidate him, the old housekeeper just knelt on the ground and told him everything he knew.
According to the old housekeeper,
Shen Yu fell into the water in the Shen residence.
At that time, Shen Yu, her third sister and a distant cousin were walking by the lake, and Shen Yu accidentally fell into the water.
The distant cousin wanted to jump into the water to save people.
But Shen Yu's maid was very good at swimming and she immediately jumped into the lake to rescue Shen Yu.
Xie Yingmian smelled a conspiracy.
This kind of drama where a woman loses her innocence after falling into the water and being rescued by a man is melodramatic and vulgar but works well.
Just imagine, how could there be no fence around the lake of a wealthy family?
The three of them were walking by the lake just fine, so how could Chen Yu fall into the water for no reason?
This matter is inseparable from that Third Sister Shen.
Xie Yingmian asked Cang Yue to send the old housekeeper back, and at the same time asked Wen Juexia to bring over Shen San's sister, who had been married for many years.
Shen's third sister is named Shen Shan.
Shen Shan was sleeping and when she woke up she was horrified to find that she had been kidnapped.
Under the dim light, Shen Shan seemed to see the young Shen Yu in a trance.
She was shocked: "Chen...Chen Yu?"
“No, Shen Yu died a long time ago.”
"Are you a human or a ghost? Ahhhhh, what is this place?"
"Am I dead? Is this hell?"
Wen Juexia was annoyed by the noise.
She slapped Shen Shan: “Shut up.”
"If you dare to make another noise, I'll scratch your face."
This slap woke Shen Shan up.
Shen Shan carefully observed her surroundings, and after taking a good look at the surrounding decorations, she was sure that she was not in hell, and she became a little bolder.
She looked at Xie Yingmian carefully.
Xie Yingmian only resembles Shen Yu in spirit, but only has 30% or 40% similarity in appearance to Shen Yu.
"You are...Shen Yu's daughter?"
"Yes." Xie Yingmian said.
Shen Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be good if she was alive, and it would be even easier if she was Chen Yu's daughter.
She smiled at her aunt: "I remember, your name is Yingmian, right?"
"Your mother passed away early, and the Xie and Shen families hardly interacted with each other. You don't know us either. Let me introduce myself. I am your mother's third sister. According to seniority, you should call me Third Aunt."
Xie Yingmian sneered: "Do you think I'm here to reminisce about the past?"
"Tell me everything about my mother falling into the water."
"You only have one chance."
Xie Yingmian stared into Shen Shan's eyes and said in a stern voice, "My patience is limited and I don't like to hear lies."
Shen Shan’s face turned pale.
At this point, how could she not understand that Xie Yingmian must have known something to have kidnapped her in the middle of the night?
Lying at this time is useless and will only anger Xie Yingmian.
Shen Shan lowered her head: "I pushed her down."
