"Madam, that's not what I thought. It's all Fang Rou's fault. Fang Rou is talking nonsense. I hope Madam won't take it to heart!"
Liu Lu was anxious. Shen Ruoyan was the person they least wanted to mess with. Her sister was still pregnant, and the Marquis was thousands of miles away. There were too many variables before the child was born.
If they displease the mistress at this time, they will definitely not have a good time waiting for them!
It's all her fault!
If only she could be less impulsive!
"Okay, the innocent are innocent. If others say something, just keep it in mind. I don't have to do anything in this mansion every day." Shen Ruoyan smiled lightly, as if he didn't take the words just now to heart at all.
"However, Madam Fang is right about one thing. If Madam Hong's fall was caused by someone, then everyone in the mansion is a suspect. We should conduct a thorough investigation."
Shen Ruoyan's words finally made Madam Lu react, "You are right, I will have someone investigate this matter."
The old lady asked someone to investigate?
Is this what it means to not let the mistress interfere?
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts in their minds, and even a hint of surprise flashed across Liu Lu's face.
Fang Rou, on the other hand, still had a faint smile on her face, but that smile seemed so smug that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhuhong was ordered to rest in the house. Before the child was born, Mrs. Lu was still very concerned about her. As long as there was a possibility that this child would be the heir of the Marquis's mansion, she would not tolerate anyone harming him!
"Fang Rou, I know you did this!"
After leaving the old lady, Liu Lu stopped Fang Rou and said, "Don't think you can do it without anyone noticing. You're trying to drag the mistress into this. But God is always watching. Sooner or later, I will find evidence and make you pay!"
"Really?" Fang Rou rubbed her forehead, speechless. "Then go find it."
She looked at Liu Lu as if she were a fool. Wasn't this telling her that she had no evidence?
Zhuhong was supported by the servants and walked slowly. When she came over, her sister was almost fuming with anger at Fang Rou.
"Just wait, I won't let you get away with it any longer!" Liu Lu was shocked and determined that Fang Rou must have done this! That's why she acted so arrogantly just now!
If she hadn't done it, would she be so confident?
Those who are truly ignorant will not take the initiative to jump out, no matter whether they are mocking or shouting.
Fang Rou felt that she didn't understand, but in fact, she saw it more clearly than anyone else!
"Sister, please don't be rude!" Zhuhong hurried over. Seeing her walking quickly, Liulu quickly went over to support her. "Sister, the doctor told you to be careful. Why are you still walking so fast?"
Zhu Hong patted her hand to comfort her, "It's okay. But you, why don't you apologize to Aunt Fang quickly? What are you doing here making a fuss?"
She put a little more pressure on Liu Lu's hand, and Liu Lu, who had been stubborn just now, suddenly seemed to lose her temper and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, Aunt Fang, I was reckless. I hope Aunt Fang will forgive me."
Fang Rou didn't expect that the person who was eager to fight with her just now was subdued by such a light sentence.
She looked at Zhuhong again. This woman was smarter than she had imagined.
But it's also interesting. At least there are no idiots in this mansion.
When Lu Jing comes back, it will probably be even more lively!
"Don't be like this. We're all aunts, and I can't accept your courtesy!" Since there was no one else here, Fang Rou didn't bother to pretend anymore. "I just hope everyone can keep their distance from me in the future, so that no one will try to throw dirty water on me!"
She is not the type to settle things peacefully. Since you have offended her, don't even think about smoothing things over!
Fang Rou rolled her eyes and left without any intention of staying to deal with the situation.
Liu Lu was so angry that she jumped up and down behind him, but Zhu Hong held her tightly, "Sister, calm down."
"Sister, she must have done this. Look how arrogant she is!" After Liu Lu returned, she still couldn't understand why Fang Rou could be so rampant?
The Marquis is no longer in the mansion. As a concubine who lives on the Marquis's favor, shouldn't she be tactful and humble, waiting obediently for the Marquis to come back and support her?
The old lady and the mistress are both here today, how dare she be so unscrupulous?
What if the Marquis comes back in the future?!
"Liu Lu, no matter if it was her or not, you were too impulsive today." Zhu Hong sat there quietly, but there was no tenderness in her eyes, only indifference.
Seeing her sister like this, Liu Lu immediately became obedient.
"I was also very angry at the time..." She looked up and saw Zhu Hong's face was still cold, without any sign of relaxation, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Sister, calm down. I won't do it again next time."
Zhu Hong sighed, "I'm afraid you only remember the food and not the beating, and next time someone provokes you, you'll forget it again."
Her sister wasn't stupid, but she was impatient and easily impulsive. If someone with ulterior motives got a hold of her, they could easily take advantage of this and make her make a mistake.
Isn’t that the case today?
"No matter whether Fang Rou did it or not, you are arguing with her today and others are looking down on you. Even if you are right, in the end, both of you will suffer and there will be no good outcome." This was also the reason why Zhu Hong wanted to stop Liu Lu at that time.
Liu Lu also realized her mistake and immediately felt guilty, "Sister, I've done it now. I promise, I won't do it again next time!"
After all, she is her only sister, so Zhuhong doesn't want to blame her too much.
Ultimately, she was just trying to stand up for herself.
"It hasn't rained in the past few days, but there is mud outside the yard. I have asked someone to take a look. It is silt dug from the bottom of the lake. It was deliberately placed there to wait for me to come over." Long before going to the old lady, Zhuhong already knew that this was man-made.
Liu Lu's eyes widened, "Sister, why didn't you tell me then?"
Isn't this the evidence Fang Rou wants? !
If my sister had said it at that time, I would have thrown it in her face!
"The backyard has been renovated recently. They say the silt at the bottom of the lake can plug the cracks, so the manager had a lot of it dug out." Zhu Hong tightened her hands on the table. "The order for the renovation was given by Madam herself."
"What?!"
Liu Lu was shocked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Zhu Hong shook her head, "There's no conclusion yet."
Whether this silt was intentionally deposited by someone or accidentally dropped by the servants while moving it, there is no evidence and nothing we say is right.
This is also the reason why she has not spoken yet today.
If you draw the bow rashly, the arrow may not only fail to hit the target, but may also rebound back at you, which is not worth the loss.
She told Liu Lu, "Don't mention this matter again. Let the old lady investigate. No matter who she finds out, it has nothing to do with me."
After all, she is the only victim in this incident!
