"Second Miss, wait for me!" the maid called in a low voice, turning back frequently as she ran towards Xu Qingyun, as if afraid of being discovered.
Xu Qingyun immediately rolled down the car window, "Is there something you need?"
The maid wiped away her tears. "Second Miss, Master didn't fall to his death. He was pushed down by Madam. I heard Miss Xu Jia say with my own ears that Madam pushed Master down."
Xu Qingyun was not surprised at all; this was exactly what she had guessed.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
The maid thought for a moment and then said, "It happened before the master left. I was in the bathroom at the time. Although I didn't see it, I heard the master talking to the madam."
Xu Qingyun nodded; she had guessed that too. "Did something happen before that?"
The maid thought for a moment and continued, "The master came in very panicked. I wasn't asleep yet, so I glanced at him and saw that his face was deathly pale, as if he had seen something terrible. Oh, by the way, Miss Xu Jia followed the master in as soon as he went upstairs."
"The young lady also seemed distracted, and her face was even worse than the master's. She went upstairs and locked herself in her room. I vaguely heard her say something like 'It's so scary' and 'I'm so scared,' but I don't know the specifics."
The maid's words gave Xu Qingyun a sharp jolt, and the unease she had felt earlier intensified.
Xu Sen and Xu Jia must have seen something, which is why Liang Wanrou killed them to silence them!
Xu Qingyun immediately pressed, "Where is Xu Jia?!"
The maid said, "In the room, the madam said that the young lady was too heartbroken, but we don't know for sure. We other maids are all busy with the master's funeral arrangements and don't have time to take care of the young lady."
Xu Qingyun said seriously, "Thank you very much."
As she spoke, she bowed slightly, displaying the demeanor of a well-bred lady.
The maid was terrified and quickly shook her head. "Second Miss, please don't! I only hate that I'm just a servant and this is all I can do. I'll go back now. If Madam finds out, I'll be in trouble."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "Okay, you should go back now."
The maid ran back into the villa.
Xu Qingyun rolled up the car window again and leaned back in her seat, recalling what the maid had said.
What Xu Jia and Xu Sen discovered must be related to their mother, but what exactly did they discover?! What happened to their mother that made that father and daughter show such fear?!
Now she was certain that the important thing Xu Sen was talking about must be about her mother.
The more Xu Qingyun thought about it, the more she felt the unease in her heart growing and pounding against her heart, which she couldn't calm down for a long time!
"Ji Hanchen!" Xu Qingyun suddenly grabbed his hand.
Ji Hanchen grasped Xu Qingyun's hand in return, offering her strength and support with his warm, large hand. "What do you want to do?"
Xu Qingyun looked at him, "I can't wait! Ji Hanchen, my intuition is right, there's definitely something wrong with that Buddhist temple. Can you help me? I need people! I want to tear down that Buddhist temple!"
"Jiang Xun, do as I say!" Ji Hanchen shouted in a deep voice, exuding domineering aura.
Jiang Xun's expression turned serious. "Yes!"

at the same time.
Ye An has also received news from Xu Qingyun.
"You're saying Xiaoyun and Ji Hanchen didn't leave?! They're still there?"
"Yes, sir. Also, the Xu family has not made any other moves. Liang Wanrou set up the mourning hall in the Buddhist hall. After Miss Xiaoyun went there, she came out looking rather pale."
Ye An remained silent. The Buddhist hall?
Setting up the funeral hall in a Buddhist temple is not a problem.
The dead are considered unlucky, and unless Liang Wanrou is planning to move to a different villa, she will definitely not allow Xu Sen's body to remain in the villa.
But that Buddhist shrine...
"Sir!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became more serious, "A group of people have stormed into the Xu family! They're Ji Hanchen's men! Miss Xiaoyun seems to be planning something!"
Ye An was startled and suddenly realized what Xu Qingyun and Ji Hanchen were planning!
Could it be that they discovered Jiajia?!
Suddenly, a surge of heat rushed to Ye An's head, and his hands trembled. He shouted in a deep voice, "I understand! You all retreat immediately."
Then, Ye An called Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun had just entered the villa and didn't want to answer the phone, but thinking it was her cousin Ye Jingnan who had woken up, she answered it anyway.
"Xiaoyun, Ye Xiao went to the Xu family villa. I suspect it has something to do with your mother!"
Upon hearing Ye An's words, Xu Qingyun paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Uncle has arranged for people here?"
"No, I sent people to investigate Ye Xiao, and I just got this news and immediately told you! You need to come back right now, I have to go to the Xu family to find your mother! I have a feeling that your mother must be with Liang Wanrou, otherwise Ye Xiao wouldn't go to Liang Wanrou!"
Ye An's voice was very anxious, but Xu Qingyun said in a deep voice, "No need, I'm at the Xu family now! I'll handle this! Uncle, just stay with my cousin!"
“Okay! You must tell me as soon as you find your mother, I…” Ye An’s voice was hoarse, and his choked voice revealed a complex mix of excitement and anticipation.
Xu Qingyun could sense Ye An's emotions, which were so intense they were suffocating.
"Okay." She nodded in agreement, then hung up the phone and quickened her pace.
As Xu Qingyun walked, she cried out in her heart: Mom, I'm here to save you! Please don't let anything happen to you!
She was afraid she would be too late.
**
Liang Wanrou had already guessed what was going on before the group even arrived at the Buddhist hall!
The look in Xu Qingyun's eyes when she left made Liang Wanrou uneasy. When she sent someone to check again, she found that the little bitch hadn't left. She knew that she probably couldn't hide it tonight.
She wanted to call Ye Xiao, but she was afraid that Ye Xiao couldn't save her either. Moreover, giving Ye Jianjia to Ye Xiao would bring her immense wealth, and Liang Wanrou didn't want to miss out!
So before Ji Hanchen's men arrived, Liang Wanrou had already gathered all the servants and housekeepers of the Xu family and made preparations well in advance!
"Xu Qingyun, what exactly do you want?! Your father just passed away, what do you mean by this?!" Liang Wanrou's eyes were bloodshot, her anger masking her panic.
That brat must have guessed it, otherwise she wouldn't have come over in such a grand manner!
Xu Qingyun's expression was sharp. "Liang Wanrou, get out of the way!"
"Are you crazy! Your father just passed away. I'd rather die than let you barge in and disturb his peace!"
"Liang Wanrou, I'll say it again, get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Xu Qingyun's voice was extremely crisp and domineering, her cold eyes seemed to be shrouded in murderous intent, making people's hair stand on end.
Liang Wanrou was afraid, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "This is a Buddhist temple. Aren't you afraid of disturbing Buddha and incurring divine punishment?!"
Xu Qingyun sneered, "If you're not afraid of a vicious woman like you, what's there to be afraid of when I neither kill nor set fires?!"
Ji Hanchen spoke coldly: "Search!"
The bodyguards immediately rushed forward.
Liang Wanrou screamed, "Help! Murder! Ninth Master Ji has actually led people into the mourning hall! Is there no justice in this world?!"
In the dead of night, Liang Wanrou's voice was unusually shrill, almost piercing the night sky.
The Xu family's residence is located in a villa area, but there are other villas nearby. Her shouts can be clearly heard in the other villas, which will definitely cause a commotion.
But that wasn't Liang Wanrou's goal; she just wanted to buy time!
