Chapter 19 Verification

"Okay, what can you achieve by arguing here? The most urgent thing is to send people out to verify, and then make a conclusion after the facts are clear." The old lady stared at Sheng Hong, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Mother, I have asked Dong Rong to check. When Dong Rong comes back, everything will be clear."

The old lady turned her head to look at Mother Fang, who nodded and said, "I'll go out to greet him."

After that, Mother Fang walked out the door. As soon as she went out the door, she saw Dong Rong waiting in the yard. Mother Fang stepped back and said to everyone, "Dong Rong is already waiting outside the door."

Sheng Hong hesitated for a moment after hearing this. The eldest lady opened her mouth anxiously, "Then call him in!"

Sheng Hong was scolded again, but did not speak. The old lady saw both of their reactions and could not help but sneer in her heart. Her cheap son was still a pervert, just like his father!

Dong Rong entered the room and bowed. The eldest lady was impatient and urged, "Hurry up and tell me what you found out!"

Dong Rong lowered his head and glanced at Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong did not respond. Dong Rong did not dare to speak without the master's instructions. The old lady sat at the top and pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, lowered her eyes and drank tea, and did not urge him. Seeing that Dong Rong did not speak, the eldest lady glared at Dong Rong, then turned her head and glared at Sheng Hong, "What are you waiting for, sir? Are you afraid that your heart is really a demon?" After saying that, she turned her head away and did not want to look at Sheng Hong again.

Sheng Hong knew that everyone must get this matter clearly, so he stopped being reserved and waved his hand to Dong Rong to signal him to tell everything he knew.

Dong Rong received the instruction and began to narrate, "I followed the orders of my master to investigate the rumors in the city. People on the streets are talking about this matter," Dong Rong lowered his head as he spoke. He could feel the atmosphere around him getting colder in an instant. "I found a teahouse and pretended to be a stranger who had just entered the city. I mixed in with the people who were talking about this matter and asked them. They couldn't tell where the news came from. Some said that they saw a corpse being carried out of our house with their own eyes. Some said that there were always strange noises coming out of our house in the middle of the night. It was the goblins sucking human blood. Others said that the old lady herself said that there was ice outside the door. It was the goblins who turned the snow into ice... Everyone said something different. Although it is impossible to find out who spread it, it is clear that the goblins have spread it. To make sure it was first spread from the lower class people."

Dong Rong swallowed and continued, "I went to find Grandma Wen, and Grandma Wen said..." Dong Rong paused and looked at Sheng Hong, "She said that the servant in our house went to call her, and she hurriedly opened the door, but was stopped by the servant before she took a step. She saw the servant fall to the ground, and told her that there was ice at the door and asked her to walk along the wall. Grandma Wen also said that she remembered that it was the first day of snowing, but there was no snow on the road leading to her door. It was all ice. There shouldn't be such thick ice in Yangzhou at this season."

Several people fell into deep thought, and Dong Rong spoke again, "I came back from Grandma Wen and found the servant in our house. He started to stammer. Wuwu couldn’t say that. I threatened him for a while before he confirmed that what Wen Po said was true. "

Dong Rong blinked and spoke hesitantly, "I... I went to Aunt Lin later and asked a few maids. They all insisted that Zhu Lou and Lu Luo died of typhoid fever. I... didn’t dare to torture them. I pretended to let them go and secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. Those maids said that Zhu Lou and Lu Luo would not be able to do their job well and would bring trouble to the family, and they would not be able to save their own lives. They also said... also said..." "What else did you say? Just say it!" The eldest lady was impatient with Dong Rong's hesitating. Dong Rong lowered his head even more and said quickly, "They also said that Aunt Lin was cruel. They did everything. Be careful."

Sheng Hong couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up with his hands slapped on the table, obviously furious to the extreme. Dong Rong fell to his knees with a thud. The eldest lady was frightened by the movement and almost fell off the chair. After she calmed down, she hurriedly called her soul back to calm down. The old lady frowned slightly, raised her eyelids, ignored Sheng Hong's rage, and asked Dong Rong, "Have you found out if anyone else was carried out before?"

Dong Rong knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't find out!"

The old lady raised her eyebrows, "In the past, she was the only one favored and the most powerful in the family. Even the eldest lady couldn't surpass her, so naturally there was no need to use any thundering means." The old lady's tone was light, and no emotion could be heard.

Sheng Hong felt a little scalp numb. Sheng Hong always knew that Lin Qinshuang was a little scheming and would use some tricks, but that was because Shuang'er was afraid of losing his favor and afraid that he would not want her anymore. She was jealous and fought for favor because of love. Sheng Hong felt that Lin Qinshuang, who was occasionally a little bit petty, was more lively, but she never knew that Lin Qinshuang was so cruel that she dared to kill people. This made Sheng Hong shudder. Sheng

Hong couldn't help but think divergently. If even Lin Qinshuang, who had been with him for so many years, pretended to be so good, what about others? Would the eldest lady really do good for her? In the past, she always talked about her uncle. Is it only her mother's family that is important in her heart? What does the Sheng Mansion mean to her? What does he mean to her? Wei Shuyi? What is her true face? Is she really happy with herself? Does she really have no resentment towards herself? This matter is also related to her. Is it a trap set by her? Is she really just a victim?

Sheng Hong suddenly ran out, "Sir? Where are you going?" The lady shouted at Sheng Hong's back. Sheng Hong strode forward without looking back. After a few steps, he was out of the yard and went straight to Wei Shuyi's yard.

When he arrived in front of the yard, he was blocked by the gate. Sheng Hong knocked on the door vigorously. After a while, the sound of "coming" came from the room, and the parrot ran to open the door.

When she opened the door and saw Sheng Hong, she was surprised, "The master... the master is back."

Sheng Hong ignored the parrot and walked straight to Wei Shuyi's room. Sheng Hong did not let the parrot inform him, and directly opened the curtain and walked in. As soon as he stepped into the room, he frowned at the smell of medicine in the room.

Mingxi was reading a book, and when she heard the noise, she raised her head and saw that it was Sheng Hong. Her eyes instantly turned red and she looked at Sheng Hong fixedly. Sheng Hong adjusted to the light in the room and saw Mingxi's current appearance clearly. Her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her hair was messy because she had been lying on the bed. She looked sickly, which was completely different from the image she had seen before Sheng Hong left. At that time, although she was not wearing any makeup, she looked rosy, with bright eyes and white teeth, and was very lively. Now, Sheng Hong felt that she really had stepped into the gates of hell.

Sheng Hong's doubts suddenly became uncertain. How could she have the energy to calculate who she was in this state? Sheng Hong remembered that she had entrusted her newborn son to the old lady, and suddenly remembered Wei Shuyi's kindness and felt sorry for her.

"Yier, I'm back, you've suffered!" Sheng Hong walked quickly towards Mingxi, took her hand and sat down on the bed.

Mingxi tried hard to restrain the urge to cry, but her nose was sore and tears still flowed down. Sheng Hong saw her trying her best to endure, and felt more distressed. He saw her tears falling like beads with a broken string, and he could no longer control his emotions and held her in his arms. Mingxi in Sheng Hong's arms instantly became fierce in the eyes of others, tears were flowing, and cruelty and hatred were also surging.

Seeing Mingxi crying more and more uncontrollably, Sheng Hong was worried that she would hurt her eyes and body if she cried for too long, so he tried to find other topics, "Yier, I have seen our son, he looks like you, he will definitely be a handsome boy in the future!"

Mingxi listened carefully to him talking about Zhenzhen, and she felt really sad, because that was the child she risked her life to give birth to, "His name is Zhenzhen! Minger will name him Zhenzhen, I think this name is very good!" Mingxi was really diverted by him. "

Okay, the nickname is Zhenzhen, Zhen means sincerity, it is a good name, Minger is really smart."

Speaking of Zhenzhen's name, one can't help but think of the fact that Zhenzhen has been taken care of by the old lady, so Sheng Hong continued to comfort her, "Yier, you are weak now and really don't have the energy to take care of Zhenzhen. Since you have already asked the old lady to take care of her, let Zhenzhen live with the old lady in the future, and let Ming'er visit his brother more often. When you are well again, you can also visit the old lady more often to pay your respects."

Mingxi agreed obediently, "I understand."
