Chapter 760: The Secret Revealed



"I just wanted to ask when you're leaving so I can have someone prepare things."

Rong Zhen's obsidian eyes stared straight at her, his gaze was sharp and piercing. She couldn't adapt to it and lowered her head quickly, "Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. I just came here to ask. I heard from Second Master that you are leaving for Dangshan. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Yes, we were discussing this matter. I didn't expect that the Eighth Concubine couldn't wait so soon. But I was curious at the time why Mr. Tang told you everything as soon as he knew it. What is your relationship with him?" Gu Yunru smiled, and a faint smile flashed across his eyes.

When Rong Fang saw her sneer, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Her dark and clear eyes were filled with panic. She stood there obediently and said, "What are you talking about, young lady? I just happened to run into the Second Master. The Second Master said that you were leaving for Dangshan, so he asked me to prepare well."

Ji Heng looked at her, his voice cold and calm, "There is no need to worry about it, Eighth Auntie. Please go back first." Rong Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, someone gave her a way out, otherwise she really didn't know how to face this girl's tricky greetings.

"Wait!" Gu Yunru called her. Rong Fang's body trembled subconsciously, her pupils suddenly widened, and she turned her head obediently and looked at her. Her cold eyes were filled with frost, and her face turned pale.

"I wonder if Miss Gu has anything else to say?"

"It's nothing. I just want to remind you that white shoes get dirty easily when worn." Gu Yunru joked casually. The guilty expression of the Eighth Concubine just now was really interesting. Needless to say, one could also sense the indescribable relationship between him and Tang Shixun.

After the Eighth Concubine walked out of the door, Gu Yunru immediately turned serious and walked to Ji Heng and said, "Go and keep an eye on Rong Fang and Tang Shixun to see if there is any relationship between them." Ji Heng nodded and left first.

Rong Zhen's calm pupils were staring at Gu Yunru, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Gu Yunru walked forward and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me and smiling?"

"Nothing, it's as if I saw you again from more than ten years ago, still so clever." Rong Zhen smiled teasingly, and this sentence completely exposed Gu Yunru's age. Gu Yunru didn't agree, and walked forward to put her arms around his neck and said, "Why! I'm still childish, do you understand?"

The joke is over, and now they are faced with a serious problem: Wen Xin is dead. Obviously, neither of them can accept this result, it is too sudden.

"Who do you think did this? Who hates Wen Xin so much? Could it be that Wen Xin really encountered something terrible, so someone is worried, so..." Gu Yunru thought of this series of events, which she had seen in a novel before. This is a good story template, but when she really faced such a problem, she had no idea in her mind.

Because anyone could be the murderer, everyone has an alibi, and no one saw Wen Xin meet someone before, except that she saw a flustered maid that day...

"I understand. I'll go out for a while and be back soon!" An idea flashed through Gu Yunru's mind. That maid ran in a panic that night, as if she had encountered something terrible.

After inquiring from many sources, I confirmed that she was Yu'er, who was beside the eldest lady. Although this was an insignificant detail, it was very likely the most important key point in the whole matter. Fortunately, I thought of it at the last minute, otherwise I would have fulfilled Tang Shixun's wish before setting off for Dangshan.

He found the maids who usually served the Madam, looked at Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong in front of him, raised his neck proudly and said: "I ask you four, you must tell me the truth, what is the relationship between Yu'er and the Madam on weekdays?"

Xiaochun slowly raised her head and nodded diligently, "Yu'er is the maidservant of the eldest lady. We have a good relationship. The eldest lady has a gentle personality and rarely loses her temper..."

"So that's how it is. Who did the eldest lady meet a few days before she disappeared?" Gu Yunru walked back and forth in front of these little maids. She could analyze whether they were lying through their micro-expressions. Apart from the fact that these maids were a little afraid of her aura, there was nothing else.

Xiao Qiu stood up and said timidly, "I saw Mr. Tang come here a few days ago. It seemed to be Yu'er. I met Yu'er that day, but Yu'er refused to say anything. She was so mysterious that it was obvious that she was hiding something." Gu Yunru touched her chin. It was exactly as she thought. Could it be that the disappearance of the eldest lady and Yu'er was related to Tang Shixun? However, the eldest lady had always been honest and kind. Why would she go to Tang Shixun for no reason? If she went directly to Tang Shixun to ask questions, she probably wouldn't get a positive answer.

"Okay, I know everything. Don't tell anyone else about what I'm going to ask you today, do you understand?" Gu Yunru looked at the four girls with numerous instructions. The four girls looked at each other, nodded, and left.

As soon as I walked outside, I ran into Ji Heng.

"I say, your speed is really amazing!" Gu Yunru was frightened and took a step back. People who are good at light work are really amazing, like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail.

"I found out about Rong Fang and Tang Shixun. In fact, they had met in Jiangnan many years ago. At that time, Tang Shixun was her guest of honor. As for how she entered the Tang Clan later, I don't need to say more. You should understand it, right?" After investigating, Ji Heng found that the relationship between the two was just as Gu Yunru had thought. They were both shady and could not be seen in the light of day. Now that Tang Zhao disappeared, it was very likely related to Tang Shixun.

"So, Tang Shixun and Rong Fang are a couple with real feelings for each other?"

It was still unclear who had stolen her love. Gu Yunru couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought of this. She said to Ji Heng, "You can tell my husband about this later. I can investigate the rest by myself."
