Chapter 276 Alone



That look was filled with caution and deep affection. Jiang Si happened to look over, and their eyes met. Yu Jin quickly looked away.

He still remembered the cruel words Jiang Si had said that day. Judging from his extraordinary talent in pursuing girls despite his lack of experience, he thought that Jiang Si might have pushed her too hard before and should wait a while before talking.

Jiang Si was somewhat surprised by Yu Jin's avoidance. She was silent for a moment and looked away.

Yu Jin coughed lightly and asked, "Where is the driver?"

There was a muffled sound, followed by a series of screams.

Yu Jin walked forward with a frown on his face, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in shorts lying on the ground beside the wall, with a bruise on his forehead and blood flowing.

A servant was so frightened that his face turned pale. He explained incoherently: "I didn't, I didn't hold it..."

Yu Jin glanced at Zhu Shaoqing and the others and asked expressionlessly, "Is this the driver?"

Very good. What was originally still under investigation has now been confirmed to be the rickshaw driver, and there must be someone behind the rickshaw driver who masterminded it.

Such a small Shaoqing Mansion is really a den of filth and dirt.

Zhu Shaoqing nodded with a heavy face.

He was also shocked that the driver had the audacity to murder his master, but he quickly realized that there was something wrong with it.

How could a rickshaw driver have any deep hatred against the eldest daughter-in-law? Moreover, the eldest daughter-in-law was a gentle and virtuous person, and there was no possibility that she would abuse her servants. So the rickshaw driver must have been instructed by someone.

In Zhu Shaoqing's opinion, the person who dared to harm his master must be found out, but this was something that could only be discussed behind closed doors, and he couldn't bring the family scandal to the government, so the driver's death undoubtedly made him secretly relieved.

Yu Jin lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the driver who was lying on the ground with a very tragic look on his face, and asked calmly, "With so many of you, didn't any of you realize that he was trying to commit suicide?"

The servants said one after another: "Who could have imagined that he would suddenly rush out and hit his head against the wall..."

"So he said nothing before he died?"

The servant who responded first said, "He said that what happened today was done by him and had nothing to do with others. His wife died because of the eldest lady, and he was seeking revenge for her... I felt something was wrong, and before I could react, he rushed out and grabbed nothing..."

The servant's words made Jiang Yi's face suddenly pale. She seemed to have thought of something and her whole body began to tremble.

Yu Jin turned his gaze to Zhu Ziyu, ready to listen to his explanation.

It would certainly not be a good idea to interrogate her sister in front of Asi. After all, they were husband and wife, and Zhu Ziyu must know what the servant meant.

Zhu Ziyu sighed and explained, "The rickshaw driver used to work in our yard. Three years ago, when my wife gave birth to Yanyan, she got pregnant prematurely because of the rickshaw driver's laziness. My mother was furious, so she punished the rickshaw driver and sent her to the laundry room. Unexpectedly, one time when the rickshaw driver went to the well to fetch water, she slipped and fell into the well. When she was pulled out, she was already dead..."

Jiang Yi was about to fall down after hearing this.

The coachman's wife was an old woman. She had been working in her yard since she got married. Perhaps because she was easy to talk to and the servants often bullied their masters, she was difficult to command.

I still remember that day when I was walking in the garden and suddenly felt unwell, so I sent the coachman's wife to call someone, but they were delayed for a long time and the maid who was guarding her cried anxiously. Later I learned that on the way to call someone, the coachman's wife happened to meet my daughter who worked in my mother-in-law's yard, and the mother and daughter talked for a long time before they parted.

After the mother-in-law knew the whole story, she immediately sent the driver's wife to work in the laundry room, and the driver's daughter was quickly married to a boy from a farm.

The coachman originally had a fairly respectable job, but because of this he was implicated and went to work in a stable.

Looking into it in detail, this family's situation in the mansion did indeed fall apart because of a momentary mistake, and later someone died. She felt uncomfortable for a while when she thought about it.

Jiang Yi didn't think she was responsible for the driver's wife's death, but after all, it was a living life, and it was sad to lose it in an accident. It wouldn't be strange if the driver got angry and killed her.

A cool and soft hand held Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but turn her head and meet Jiang Si's eyes.

The girl's eyes were as bright as water, but the water was cold, emitting bright and dark lights, making it impossible for her to see through the emotions.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Si had already spoken: "Brother-in-law, do you mean that the driver had sufficient motive to harm my elder sister?"

Zhu Ziyu's eyes flickered slightly.

He has said so much, is there any need to ask more about whether the driver has a motive to harm his wife?

Jiang Si looked unhappy. "When faced with a situation where his wife's life was threatened, he would not let go of any possibility. The driver certainly had a motive that made sense, but who can guarantee that he really wanted to harm my elder sister because of this? Maybe the mastermind behind this had already thought of an excuse. Besides, shouldn't the driver be angry with Madam Zhu? After all, it was Madam Zhu who sent his wife to the laundry room, not my elder sister."

"Fourth sister..." Hearing Jiang Si unceremoniously dragging Madam Zhu in, Jiang Yi pulled her nervously.

Jiang Si was unmoved and smiled at Mrs. Zhu, who looked unhappy: "Mrs. Zhu, what do you think?"

Mrs. Zhu was so angry that her hands were shaking.

She had never seen a girl who was so eloquent and could speak so freely in front of her elders.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhu suddenly felt that Jiang Yi was a good daughter-in-law. If she had married this fourth Miss Jiang, she would probably have been heartbroken every day.

Jiang Si turned to Zhu Ziyu and smiled: "Brother-in-law, look, even Mrs. Zhu agrees with what I said."

Silence is acquiescence, there is nothing wrong with that.

When it came to his mother, Zhu Ziyu was choked and speechless, and Madam Zhu couldn't afford to lose face by arguing with a young man, so for a while, no one refuted Jiang's unreasonable arguments.

Yu Jin felt sour in his heart when he saw Jiang Si's beautiful smile towards Zhu Ziyu.

He was very unhappy that she smiled so sweetly at such a hypocrite.

Soon, Prince Yu Qi became happy again. He heard Jiang Si actually say, "I have something to report to this messenger alone."

Yu Jin carefully checked and confirmed that Jiang Si was pointing at him. He was instantly overjoyed, but he had to suppress his joy and put on a serious face. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, please ask Zhu Shaoqing to point to a convenient place, preferably a pavilion without any cover."

He didn't want a single man and a single woman to be in the same room.

"This..." Zhu Shaoqing hesitated.

It was Fourth Miss Jiang who reported the matter to the police this time. I wonder what other trouble this girl will cause.

"Why, is there no suitable place in your house?"

Seeing that Yu Jin looked unhappy, Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly ordered his servants to take the two of them to a pavilion not far from here.

Mrs. Zhu stared at Jiang Si's back and shook her head.

Such a girl is really unruly!

The pavilion was exposed on all sides, and the distance from the crowd made it possible for people to overhear what they said. Erniu sat outside the pavilion and began to keep watch for the host and hostess.
