Xuanyuan Huaiyu didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up the next morning, he looked at Ye Qiu, who looked refreshed, with a bit of annoyance and resentment.
Ye Qiu pretended not to see it when he saw it. He arranged breakfast for Xuanyuan Huaiyu and prepared the clothes he would wear today. Seeing her doing this, he was a little suspicious that she had intentional behavior, but he couldn't say it out loud.
The breakfast was indeed quite delicious and satisfying, and the clothes and accessories she prepared were indeed comfortable to wear and look at, and I felt refreshed after getting dressed.
When Xuanyuan Huaiyu came back that day, Ye Qiu prepared calming incense for him, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the past again.
They talked about some gossips that Ye Qiu had heard and some things in the shop he was in charge of. Some of the things he wanted to discuss with Xuanyuan Huaiyu, and some were simply more interesting. The two fell asleep while chatting without realizing it.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu slept soundly that night and woke up feeling refreshed the next day.
More than a month passed when Ye Qiu and I lived in peace and tranquility, and then something big happened.
A family of four was murdered more than two years ago, and their bodies have just been discovered. The murder case involves the Rongguo Mansion, and the case was investigated over and over again, and finally it was traced to Xuanyuan Huaiyu's palace.
This family consists of grandparents, father and mother, all of whom were killed. By visiting neighbors and checking household registration records, it was learned that the whereabouts of two children were missing, and no one has seen them alive or dead.
The murdered father of this family, Qian Fucheng, was an accountant. His employer was Dong Rouer, and Qian Fucheng had been managing Dong Rouer's accounts for nearly ten years.
Jingzhao Yin investigated and found out that although Qian Fucheng's employer Dong Rouer was an independent female household, she was actually very close to Rongguo Duke of Rongguo Mansion.
Further investigation revealed that Dong Rouer had a son who was now ten years old. He had returned to his ancestral home a year ago and was the youngest son of Duke Rong who was listed in the family tree, and was also registered under the name of his legal wife, Chen Yu.
This almost indirectly confirms that Dong Rouer is the concubine of Duke Rong.
After the incident was exposed, when Shen Zhaoshu heard the name Qian Fucheng, she thought: No wonder we can't find him.
Two and a half years ago, around the time her youngest daughter returned to Beijing, in order to find Dong Rouer to get the money back, Shen Zhaoshu found her accountant Qian Fucheng and sent someone to visit her to explain their purpose.
Qian Fucheng's answer at the time was ambiguous and hesitant. After the person sent by Shen Zhaoshu reported back the original words, she figured that the accountant was probably afraid of taking responsibility, but also wanted to get some benefits.
But her daughter was about to return to Beijing, so Shen Zhaoshu naturally reunited with her youngest daughter's family first, and then worked with her daughter to arrange the education of her grandson Jiang Guyuan.
When we went to look for Qian Fucheng again more than half a month later, he was nowhere to be found.
Today, the remains of Qian Fucheng and his wife, as well as his parents, have been found in an abandoned well in a suburban village.
A child accidentally fell into an abandoned well. Fortunately, the well was overgrown with weeds, fallen leaves and thick mud, so the child only broke his leg. In order to rescue the child, people who went down to the bottom of the well to salvage found human bones.
After reporting the case to the authorities, the coroner of Jingzhao Yin examined the four skeletons. Based on the undecayed clothing, the gender, age, height, and approximate time of death shown on the four skeletons, he compared them with the missing persons and determined that the most consistent group was Qian Fucheng's family of four.
Only two children, a fourteen-year-old girl and a twelve-year-old boy, were missing.
Because of Qian Fucheng's disappearance, Shen Zhaoshu has been looking for other ways to collect the debt in the past two years, but her sister Shen Yu is in constant trouble.
Jiang He stopped drugging Shen Yu under Shen Zhaoshu's persuasion. Shen Yu's condition improved, but it was still intermittent, and she gradually realized that she was sometimes confused, but she never felt it before.
Once she realized that she had moments of confusion, and discovered that her husband and son were unreliable during the Qingming Festival, fear and worry naturally arose deep in her heart.
As a last resort, Shen Yu went to find his childhood rival, his younger sister Shen Zhaoshu.
Shen Zhaoshu wants to get back that huge debt, and Shen Yu's testimony is a key part of it.
Ever since Shen Zhaoshu took charge of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, it was no longer possible for the people in the Rongguo Mansion to get money from the Yongding Marquis Mansion through Shen Yu, so their attitude towards Shen Yu plummeted.
Her husband, Duke Rong, had been having a mistress for ten years, and the mistress had a seven-year-old son. Many people seemed to think that there was no need to hide the fact from her any longer, so Shen Yu soon learned the truth.
What is even more heartbreaking than her husband's betrayal is her son's attitude. Not only has he known the mistress for a long time, he also often takes the whole family to the yard where the mistress lives to enjoy family happiness with his father and the mistress, leaving her alone to guard the empty house.
Now that she knew about it, she advised her to be more magnanimous. Shen Yu almost collapsed. She had been so kind to these people, and had gotten countless money from her family for them to squander, but in the end, they all treated her like this.
She complained that the house she had inherited from her father on her mother's side was also cheated away by her own son and given to his mistress.
In order to please the concubine and satisfy her father, she even said to her in front of her: "Look at how crazy and unreasonable my mother is. She is not a reasonable person. Father is lucky to have me. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to deal with my mother."
Chen Yu, who went to the concubine's room and made a big fuss, was slapped twice by her husband, Duke Rong, and was pushed out by her own son.
She didn't touch a finger of the concubine, but was slapped by the concubine Dong Rouer. When she wanted to fight back, Duke Rong, who had stood by and watched her being beaten, quickly stepped forward to protect Dong Rouer.
She was stopped and could only cry and curse, but Duke Rong slapped her twice in the face and she fell to the ground.
Her son came to help her and comforted her a little, but he pushed and dragged her out and ordered the servants not to let her in again.
When she struggled to look back before being driven out, she saw Duke Rong, his son, daughter-in-law, and little grandson all surrounding his concubine Dong Rouer and comforting her.
The distraught Shen Yu returned to Rongguo Mansion like a wandering ghost. Seeing that she was not in a good state, Jiang He ordered people to keep an eye on Shen Jue.
Shen Yu committed suicide in the Rongguo Mansion and was rescued by Jiang He. Jiang He hated her at first, but now felt sorry for her and thought that he had no choice but to send someone to invite Shen Zhaoshu.
After Shen Yu woke up, she said to Shen Zhaoshu, “I thought my mother loved me, but my brother passed away, and my mother followed him. As her daughter, I don’t care.
I think my father loves me very much. I am proud and satisfied. My endless requests make my father show his love for me again and again.
But in the end... my father never loved me. He loved me because I was Zhong Qin's daughter, but I was not, so he didn't love me anymore.
I thought that Duke Rong and I, as husband and wife for many years, could support each other, but he deceived me for ten years and beat and insulted me for his mistress.
I thought my own son would always side with his mother, but he drove me out, ordered people to stop me, and gave the house I gave him to my father's mistress to please her.
Sister, I am a joke. How else can a joke end except death? "
