Chapter 19 Someone's Dead
"Why are you making so much noise? You have no manners." Madam Shen looked unhappy, but she did not scold him: "What happened?"
"Someone's dead," the old woman said in a panic, her face pale. "He drowned in the pond at Wanfeng Pavilion. The steward was alerted, and he sent an old servant to pass on the message."
Mrs. Shen stood up suddenly: "Who's in trouble?"
The old woman replied, "I don't know. The manager has arranged for people to go down into the water to salvage the fish."
Madam Shen walked out with an anxious look on her face: "This is outrageous! In broad daylight, you dare to kill someone in my house."
Shen Qingtan hurriedly followed.
Shen Mingzhu trotted a few steps to catch up with Shen Qingtan: "Big sister, don't worry, Liu Yue and Ting Xue will be fine."
"Who said I was worried about them?" Shen Qingtan paused, looking at her with a clear gaze: "My courtyard and Wanfeng Pavilion are in the north and south respectively. Why would they go to Wanfeng Pavilion for no reason?"
Shen Mingzhu didn't dare look directly into Shen Qingtan's eyes. Those eyes were as clear as water. They glanced at her lightly, but seemed to be able to see into her heart, making her heart tighten for no reason.
She looked away and heard Shen Qingtan ask, "Or is there something I don't know?"
"No!" Shen Mingzhu denied flatly: "I... I just saw that they didn't come, and someone else was in trouble at this time, so... I thought of them."
"Why are you so excited?" Shen Qingtan raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "I'm just asking casually."
Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Qingtan's departing back, and felt a surge of blood and hatred in her heart.
This bitch!
But then he thought of Shen Qingtan seeing the bodies of Tingxue and Liuyue, and he felt happy.
Let you be proud for a while.
Shen Mingzhu pursed the corners of her lips that were turned up, and followed to watch the show.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu looked at each other and followed.
Mrs. Shen walked so fast that she could hardly catch her breath and her pace slowed down.
Shen Qingtan held her arm: "Mother, I will support you."
Madam Shen paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
She had previously arranged for Shen Qingtan to marry a maid, but Shen Qingtan refused to use her, preferring only Tingxue and Liuyue. These two servants were loyal to Shen Qingtan and unwilling to act as her spies.
Only by getting rid of Liu Yue and Ting Xue can we place someone next to Shen Qingtan.
It should be done with Mother Wei.
Mrs. Shen was in a good mood, but her face was full of anxiety.
The group came to Wanfeng Pavilion in a mighty procession.
Shen Qingtan saw several servants carrying a man out of the water and swimming towards the shore.
Madam Shen seemed unable to bear to watch. She turned her head towards Shen Qingtan, pressed her hand holding a handkerchief against her chest, and chanted "Amitabha": "I don't know which unfortunate person was killed on such a happy day. If I find the murderer, I will never let him off easily!"
“Mother…Mother…” Shen Qingtan’s face changed drastically when he saw the person being fished out. He swayed a bit and said in disbelief, “How could this be…”
Mrs. Shen saw Shen Qingtan's face turn pale, and then saw Shen Mingzhu's face showing a hint of excitement. Her eyes widened in an instant, and the blood color on her face faded away.
Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly looked towards the pond. The person lying on the ground was not Liu Yue and Ting Xue, but Mother Wei!
"No... Impossible..."
Mrs. Shen’s eyes went dark and her whole body was shaky.
The person who couldn't accept the death was Wei's mother.
It was clearly she who left Mother Wei behind and lured Yue and Tingxue to Wanfengting. She had arranged everything.
How come it was Mother Wei who died?
Where are Liuyue and Tingxue?
"Investigate!" Madam Shen gritted her teeth and said, "Call everyone who came to Wanfeng Pavilion today here!"
The look she gave Shen Qingtan was vicious and ferocious.
This matter is definitely related to this bitch.
