549: Death, Madness
(Girls' Literature)
Mu Weizhi fell to the ground and tried to get up, but was stepped on by Shen Zian. Daxue immediately started to yell, and then several people ran in. Liu Jin and Liu Yin were the first to be caught. They were all surprised to see Mu Weizhi being stepped on by Shen Zian. However, they were only stunned for a moment, and then they quickly came over and grabbed Mu Weizhi.
The heavy snow made them catch the man, picked up the knife on the ground, and said she wanted to kill the lady.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin and Liu Yin increased the strength of their men tenfold, causing Mu Weizhi to scream in pain. They had no mercy on women at all. The lady was their savior and the master to whom they were prepared to be loyal and filial for their entire lives. Killing Su Zhi was almost like taking their lives. They hated Mu Weizhi to the core.
Some of the maids who ran in were smart and noticed that someone was caught, some went to ask Su Zhi if she was okay, and some went out to report the news. This was a big deal and Madam Mu had to be informed of it.
Shen Zian walked to Su Zhi and held her hand. He was really scared just now and was really afraid that his wife would be hurt. Now that he knew that she was not touched by Mu Weizhi, he was also afraid that she would be frightened.
"I'm fine. Your kick just now was really beautiful."
Su Zhi smiled and said to Shen Zian that she really liked her husband's skills, which were strong and graceful. She always watched him intently every time she saw him practicing martial arts, and now she felt that he was even more amazing after seeing this kind of actual combat.
When Shen Zian heard his wife say this, he knew she was fine. He shook her hand and gave her an indulgent smile.
“Ahhh—”
Mu Weizhi screamed, even more piercing than the scream of pain just now. She felt like she was going crazy when she saw Shen Zian and Su Zhi looking at each other happily. Why was she so miserable while Su Zhi was so happy? ! She had obviously ruined Su Zhi's marriage and turned her husband from a top scholar to a villager. Why was Su Zhi still so happy? ! Why could Su Zhi marry a man who made her so happy just by marrying casually? Why couldn't a villager look like a villager? He looked no worse than Meng Jinliang? !
Mu Weizhi was really going crazy, she knew this was her last chance. If she failed this time, she would have to die, and Su Zhi would still live her happy life. She was unwilling to accept this!
Mu Weizhi yelled and cursed loudly, like a crazy woman, without any of the charm of the second young lady of the Mu family. Even Liu Jin and Liu Yinbing had to hold her tightly to prevent her from rushing towards Su Zhi. Finally, a sound was heard. Because of the strong struggle, her arms were broken, and Mu Weizhi fainted.
Amid Mu Weizhi's scolding, Shen Zian and Su Zhi also knew that Mu Weizhi had taken action against Shen Zhu, and knew the grudge between her and the Shen family. Neither of them sympathized with her, and it was entirely her own fault.
Madam Mu hurried over and saw Mu Weizhi who was being held aside and in a daze. Her originally gentle eyes became as cold as if they could kill people. However, after just one glance, she ran to Su Zhi and asked about her with concern, fearing that she was injured or frightened. She was relieved to know that she was fine, but her hatred for Mu Weizhi did not decrease at all. She was also very surprised that Mu Weizhi was not dead. She thought that this time she must kill Mu Weizhi and not let her hurt Su Zhi again.
Mu Yongnian came back soon. Mu Weizhi must be sent to the government again. But before sending her, Mu Yongnian still had to make the decision. Mu Yongnian frowned at what his daughter did. He also knew that Mu Weizhi was not dead. This was what the emperor told him. Keeping Mu Weizhi was just a piece of evidence of Wang Feng's crime. Now Mu Weizhi actually escaped. And she attacked Su Zhi again. Mu Yongnian didn't want to keep her.
"Reporting to the master, the female thief who came to assassinate the young lady is dead."
The housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion came in and reported quietly.
Mu Yongnian and the others were all stunned, wondering how she could have died in such a short time without any torture!
"How did he die?"
Madam Mu asked. Although she was relieved to hear that Mu Weizhi was dead, she still wanted to know the cause of death. Last time, this person was not dead, so this time she had to be sure.
The housekeeper quickly replied, "It's not clear yet. They locked her up, and the guards outside heard a noise from inside. When they went in, they saw that she was already dead. She seemed to be in great pain before she died, and her eyes were not closed."
Madam Mu looked at Mu Yongnian after hearing this. After all, she was his daughter. She was thought dead two years ago, and now she died again, and in such an unclear way. She was really worried that her husband would be upset.
Mu Yongnian looked at his wife's caring eyes and smiled at her. He thought that his wife was kind. He had never had much affection for his daughter in the first place. After so many things that had happened, there was no affection left at all. He just felt a little strange about her sudden death.
"Go find out the cause of death."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The butler bowed and left, and then the matter was soon discovered. He had invited someone he could trust, and it was discovered that Mu Weizhi was poisoned. This poison was a kind of poison that controlled people, and had to be taken every day. If one did not take it, the poison would cause death. It was obvious that Wang Feng had given Mu Weizhi the poison because he was afraid that she would escape, and Mu Weizhi might not have known about it, so she died of the poison.
Su Zhi felt a little complicated when she heard that Mu Weizhi had died. When she thought of Shen Zhu, she didn't know what to feel. These two women were both as beautiful as flowers, and their hearts were as high as the sky, but their lives were thinner than paper. However, she only sighed for a while about the death of the two and then felt relieved. These two people had a deep hatred for her, and she would be less dangerous if they died.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi went into the palace again and told the story. The emperor was a little upset. After Shen Zian and the others said it was Mu Weizhi's fault, he sent people to monitor Mu Weizhi, but he didn't expect that the people he sent let Mu Weizhi run away. He has punished the person who failed to do his job, but this has allowed Wang Feng to escape the charge of harboring a death row prisoner. Mu Weizhi was not captured by Wang Feng's side or in his house. Even if someone had proved that Mu Weizhi and Wang Feng were together before, Wang Feng could still make excuses. What's more, all the people who were related to Mu Weizhi were dead, and the servant was also killed by Shen Zhu. There is really no evidence.
"That's good. There's no evidence against Wang Feng, and there's no evidence against Shen Ziju."
The emperor put down the teacup in his hand and said that Mu Weizi had something on Shen Ziju, and Shen Ziju had now made his attitude clear, that he could not be executed for his crimes, so it was a good thing that Mu Weizi died.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi thought so too, but they thought that Shen Zhu was also killed by Mu Weizhi this time. Even if Shen Ziju would be relieved because of Mu Weizhi's death, he would also be sad because of Shen Zhu's death. This is really a happy and sad thing at the same time. Not to mention the matter of Shen Zhang, the Shen family has been having a lot of bad luck recently.
The news of Shen Zhu's death was like a bolt from the blue to the Shen family. This good person was gone so suddenly, and his death was so tragic that they found it hard to accept it.
Shen Youfu sat in the room in a daze, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, smoking a pipe that was shrouded in mist. He was exhausted because his wife was in jail, and now his daughter was dead again, and she died after he rushed her out of the house. He felt uncomfortable because his daughter was not fighting back, and he had nightmares at night.
Shen Ziju was also exhausted. Shen Zhu and he were a perfect match, and he had loved his sister very much since they were young. Shen Zhu's first marriage was not good because of him, and he always felt that he owed her and promised her a future of luxury. But now Shen Zhu ended up like this, and he felt like his heart was filled with weeds.
Just as the Shen family was preparing for Shen Zhu's funeral, news came from the prison that Shen Zhang had gone crazy.
Shen Youfu and Shen Ziju went to the prison to visit Shen Zhang together. They didn't believe that she was crazy no matter what, but they really saw a crazy Shen Zhang.
"What the hell is going on? How could my mother go crazy here? She was fine the last time she came! You have to give me an explanation!"
Shen Ziju angrily questioned the jailer. Although he did not want to offend his fourth brother and his friends, he visited Shen Zhang less often. However, he never lacked clothes and food for Shen Zhang. How could this man go crazy? Shen Zhang was such a strong woman. He would rather believe that she was pretending to be crazy than that she was really crazy. But now he found that she was really crazy. She even beat him and almost pulled his hair off. Even Shen Youfu was knocked to the ground and his head hit the railing and bled.
Shen Ziju and Shen Youfu were rescued. Seeing Shen Zhang yelling inside, they felt upset and angry and questioned the prison boss.
The jailer said, "Sir Shen, maybe your mother went crazy after hearing the news of your sister's death."
Shen Ziju was stunned when he heard this, and a sad look appeared on his face.
Shen Zhang had calmed down again at this time. She sat on the ground, holding a pillow in her hands, rocking it gently. No one could tell what she was saying, but her eyes were very gentle.
Shen Ziju felt sad. He thought his mother regarded the pillow as her sister. She still loved her sister, even though she never came to see him when she was in prison. Even if she was a vicious woman, she loved them. Shen Ziju thought that he still had to take good care of her. With this in mind, he supported Shen Youfu, who was still bleeding from his head and in a daze, and left.
"Is your mother unable to be rescued?"
Shen Youfu came out of the prison and sat in the carriage, asking Shen Ziju, "After being married for so many years, even though he hated Shen Zhang for deceiving him for so many years, he still felt a little sorry for her current situation."
Shen Ziju shook his head gently. This time he was really helpless and could not contribute.
Shen Youfu thought of Shen Zian, his lips moved, he looked at his son, but still didn't say anything. He closed his eyes, thinking that he had made a mistake in coming to the capital. It would have been better if he had stayed in Hebian Village.
I solved two more, and the next one is Shen Youfu. I found that I am not good at writing rigid sentences, so I wrote it very simply.
