"Who knows!" Sister Zhao said mysteriously. "Natural disasters and man-made calamities, no one can say for sure. But it's a pity. Miss Zhang was such a young and beautiful girl with a good family background. It's a shame that she died so young."
It's really a pity.
Bai Nuo nodded in agreement.
"Do you know how she died?" Bai Nuo asked.
Seeing that Bai Nuo was interested in this kind of gossip, Sister Zhao originally wanted to say more, but she couldn't say much. "I don't know, my husband didn't say!" She only knew that Zhang Jingwen was dead, but she didn't know how Zhang Jingwen died.
Bai Nuo looked at her with a puzzled expression.
After glancing around warily, Sister Zhao whispered, "I don't know. My husband doesn't know anything either. The Zhang family hasn't given a word. They only know that the person is gone, but how the person died, I doubt anyone other than the Zhang family knows!"
Did the Zhang family find out?
Bai Nuo's mind raced, but she dared not show it on her face. Suddenly, she heard Sister Zhao say, "Here's the money. I'm going back now. My husband is out, and the house can't function without an adult!"
"Okay, come again anytime!" Bai Nuo said to Sister Zhao as she quickly put the money away.
After Sister Zhao left, Bai Nuo quickly walked over to Hu Mingmei and sat down. Hu Mingmei shook her head at her, "It wasn't Donglai who did it. He only gave her the medicine; he didn't try to kill her!"
For someone like Zhang Jingwen, living a muddled life is more enjoyable than dying. He had already planned out Zhang Jingwen's future before taking action, and he had figured out how to proceed. Why would he go through all this trouble?
“There’s no possibility of over-purging!” Hu Mingmei knew what Bai Nuo was thinking, and said calmly, “Xia Donglai is not a careless person.”
Despite Lu Ying's seemingly unreliable and talkative nature, both Xia Donglai and Lu Ying are very dependable people who never make mistakes.
That's why he's been able to live in peace for so many years – it's all thanks to Xia Donglai and Lu Ying's caution.
"Then Zhang Jingwen..." How did Zhang Jingwen die?
Hu Mingmei shook her head. "She was indeed still alive when we had her, and she was still alive when we sent her away."
Hu Mingmei only wanted to make Zhang Jingwen's technique real; how could he want to kill her? If he had wanted to kill Zhang Jingwen from the beginning, why would he have tortured her?
In Hu Mingmei's eyes, death was far more painful than living.
"Are you scared?" Hu Mingmei glanced at Bai Nuo and, seeing Bai Nuo's reaction, immediately regretted letting Bai Nuo participate in these things. She was different from him and her ability to accept things was also different.
Bai Nuo shook her head. "I'm just worried about leaving behind some kind of tampering."
Hu Mingmei shook his head.
However, what Bai Nuo is more curious about now is who killed Zhang Jingwen. Logically speaking, no one should hate Zhang Jingwen to the point of being desperate.

Zhang Family Study.
The Zhang family study is arguably the strangest place in the entire Zhang family now.
The Zhang family's wealth has only existed for two generations: Zhang Wu's father and Zhang Wu himself. Zhang's father transformed the Zhang family from a poor family into a wealthy one, and Zhang Wu turned that wealth into immense riches.
Because they had become wealthy, the entire Zhang family was lavishly decorated, but Zhang Wu's study did not contain any of those luxuries. Instead, it was filled with books, calligraphy, and paintings, but nothing else.
Xiangming knelt down, trembling, not daring to lift her head, let alone look at the person above. Zhang Jingwen and Zhang Wu were two different kinds of people. Although she was afraid of Zhang Jingwen, she was even more afraid of the young master in front of her.
It should be said that apart from Zhang's parents, no one in the Zhang family was not afraid of Zhang Wu. Even Zhang Jingwen, an arrogant person, was terrified of Zhang Wu.
Fragrant tea is no exception.
Right now, the entire Zhang family home is covered in white, except for this study, which is completely empty. It remains exactly as it always has been.
The entire Zhang family was dressed in mourning. Everyone in the family was busy because of Zhang Jingwen's sudden death. Madam Zhang was so heartbroken that she fainted. The whole Zhang family was suddenly in chaos.
However, Zhang Wu, the young master of the Zhang family, instead of helping her, interrogated her in his study.
Did Zhang Wu discover something?
Xiangming felt extremely uneasy, but since she had already done it, admitting it would mean certain death. So she had no choice but to endure it and dare not show it at all.
Because of Zhang Jingwen's sudden death, even in the study, Zhang Wu was dressed in mourning clothes, all white from head to toe, except that he did not wear a white headband. Usually, Zhang Wu always wore plain clothes, making him look refined and scholarly, not like a businessman. But today, dressed in mourning clothes, perhaps because of his grief, he looked very cold.
He exuded a chilling aura.
That's why Xiangming is so afraid.
"You said you didn't find Jingwen!" The atmosphere in the room was tense, and just when Xiangming was about to give up, Zhang Wu finally spoke.
Zhang Wu's tone and attitude remained unchanged, just like usual, and Xiang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Zhang Wu didn't actually suspect her. Perhaps it was just that his sister's sudden death was a bit unexpected, and since he was Zhang Jingwen's most trusted confidante, Zhang Wu thought he should ask her for questioning.
It wasn't what she thought.
Thinking this, Xiangming respectfully replied, "Yes! This servant did not find Miss."
