Chapter 390 There is something strange
"It's really strange. All the dead are men." Zhan Luochen's face was full of confusion. He looked at the eight young masters of the Shen family. They all looked uneasy. He could understand their feelings.
No matter who it is, they would feel uneasy, because this murderer was able to kill people without anyone noticing.
"Oh, that's right. Why are all the dead men?" Jiang Jingyan also reacted.
Jiang Yunxi also found it strange that the other party only killed men and not women. She looked at Madam Shen, "Madam, has the Princess's Mansion forged a deep grudge with anyone?"
If they continue to kill like this, the other party will cut off the incense of the Princess's Mansion.
It was clearly a case of revenge.
“This, this…” Mrs. Shen had an embarrassment on her face, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"What's wrong with you? So many people have died in this mansion, but you still don't tell the truth. Do you want more people to die?" Lingci's face was puffed up with anger. If she didn't provide any clues, how could her master find the murderer?
Mrs. Shen still hesitated and was unable to speak.
The wives of the second, third, and fourth wives also twisted their handkerchiefs with embarrassed expressions.
Shen Yutang wanted to say something, but finally said, "Miss Yun, the Princess's Mansion has no deep hatred with anyone."
"I heard that your grandmother is the eldest daughter of the late emperor and the eldest sister of Emperor Tianqi. She is particularly favored. There are also rumors that the eldest princess is domineering and arrogant, relying on the emperor's favor to act arrogantly. She must have offended many people." Jiang Yunxi said slowly.
In front of the Princess's Mansion, she asked around.
“Miss Yun, you can’t say that casually. Your mother is the eldest princess and has a noble status, so it’s inevitable that she will be a little stronger. Although there are occasional conflicts, it’s not a big deal.” Madam Shen said coldly.
She was so bold that she actually spoke of her mother like that in public. If her mother were there, she would definitely be executed.
"I'm telling the truth. If you really want to find the murderer, you should face the facts. Otherwise, more people will die in the mansion." Jiang Yunxi was not exaggerating, nor was she deliberately trying to scare them.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and said slowly, "Go and talk to the princess. Let's go back to the guest house to rest. Remember to have someone prepare dinner for us. We're hungry."
After saying that, she walked towards the guest house.
Zhan Beiyuan and others followed.
Everyone: “…”
After seeing Jiang Yunxi walk away, Shen Yutang said with a worried look on her face: "Mother, I think this Miss Yun is really capable. If we don't find the murderer, will my second brother and the others..."
Madam Shen felt a sharp pain in her head and sighed, "Go find your grandmother and tell her what Miss Yun said and see how she reacts."
The old lady was stubborn and opinionated. Normally, she was the one who said one thing and they dared not say another. She had the final say on all important matters.
Shen Yutang nodded.
Villa.
"Did you see something?" Zhan Beiyuan walked towards Jiang Yunxi who was standing in the yard looking at the night sky, and put the cloak in his hand on her.
"Did you feel anything?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Zhan Beiyuan shook his head. "Since entering the Princess's Mansion, I haven't sensed any evil aura or dark, sinister power. This place looks normal, yet something feels strangely wrong."
This was a very strong feeling in his heart.
"That's right. It doesn't seem strange, but it feels strange for some reason." Jiang Yunxi smiled.
"Did someone set up a formation so that we can't see clearly?" Zhan Beiyuan expressed his guess.
"There is no formation here." Jiang Yunxi said with certainty.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi pulled at his cloak and said, "I suspected there was a formation before, but now I haven't found it. I can only say that the murderer is smart and powerful, and I suspect the murderer is in the Princess's Mansion."
"Is it someone from the mansion?" Zhan Beiyuan was surprised. The eldest princess's four sons were all dead, and now two of her ten grandsons are also dead, leaving eight. If all eight died, only women would be left in the Shen family.
"It should be." Jiang Yunxi didn't dare to say it was 100%, but there was an 80% chance that the murderer was in the Princess's Mansion.
Zhan Beiyuan's face was thoughtful. "Judging from the circumstances of the death, it was clearly revenge. It shouldn't be someone from the Shen family. Why would someone from the same family kill someone from the same family?"
Jiang Yunxi's face was intriguing. "Qi Qin of Leizhou Island gathered so many people to witness the demise of the Jian family. Now there are two possibilities: either someone is coming to retaliate against the Princess's Mansion, or there is internal unrest in the mansion."
"Which one do you think it will be?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe it's both." Jiang Yunxi just felt that the Duke's Mansion was a bit mysterious.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
It seems that the Princess's Mansion is quite complicated.
Jiang Yunxi didn't wait for Shen Yutang to come to see her until before going to bed. Just as she was about to go to bed, someone pushed the door open and came in.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. Didn't he go back to his room?
"I'll help you prolong your life." Zhan Beiyuan said gently, and skillfully lifted the quilt and got into bed.
Jiang Yunxi frowned, "I'm in good shape now."
"You have to prolong your life even when you are in good condition. Once you are in bad condition, it will be too late to prolong your life." Zhan Beiyuan said confidently.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
What he said seemed to be right. Immediately, she accepted it and took the initiative to pull off his belt. With his broad shoulders and narrow waist, she was not at a disadvantage at all.
A moment later, she regretted it.
She can no longer take the initiative in the future. Whenever she takes the initiative, Zhan Beiyuan will have endless energy.
"Are you really greedy for this kind of thing?" Jiang Yunxi's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm not greedy for this kind of thing, I'm greedy for you." Zhan Beiyuan bit her delicate neck, with an intense and unquenchable heat in his eyes. Apart from her, he had no thoughts about other women.
Jiang Yunxi's body trembled, his heart trembled, and before he could think, he lost the ability to think.
The next day.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.
When Jiang Yunxi and the others finished breakfast, Madam Shen came with Shen Yutang.
"Madam, Fifth Miss." Jiang Yunxi looked at them.
"Miss Yun, what you told us last night, we told mother. Mother said that the Princess's Mansion has no deep hatred with anyone. Even if it has a deep hatred, no one dares to retaliate against the Princess's Mansion." Madam Shen relayed the original words.
"And then?" Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly.
"Mother said that you don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion anymore. The national master came out of seclusion last night, and she will invite him over. You can take these rewards." After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she looked at the nanny behind her.
Nanny Li quickly came forward with something on which were five gold bars.
Qianheng stepped forward to accept it. Yunxi had made a move yesterday, and the Princess's Mansion was willing to give it, so of course they should accept it. Anyone who didn't want it would be a fool.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take care of it?" Jiang Yunxi was not surprised, otherwise the princess would have met her last night.
“No need.” Mrs. Shen said, their mother had made the decision, so they naturally wouldn’t refute it.
Jiang Yunxi said nothing more: "Okay, let's pack up and leave now."
Madam Shen looked at Shen Yutang and said, "Yutang, please see Miss Yun and the others off later."
