Chapter 16 It's a life after all

Zhang's eyes revealed a deep hatred, pointing at the door and yelling: "Get out! Get out!"

Seeing Lu Yanxiu and Liu Qiuqiu leave without any reluctance, she covered her face and cried, trembling with chills.

It's okay for the maid to look down on her, but she even did this to her own son! He is really Lu Chengye's son, so cruel!

Mingchun rummaged through boxes and cupboards to find a set of clean clothes, brought them to the bed and said tremblingly: "Madam, calm down. I'll change you into clean clothes, otherwise you'll catch a cold if you wait too long."

"Ming'er, you must bring the young lady here." Zhang was stunned and muttered, then let Mingchun change her clothes, looking out the window from time to time without saying a word.

Mingchun was a little afraid that the madam would do something to hurt herself and get into trouble with her, so she changed quickly and left.

Back in Tingyuxuan, Liu Qiuqiu was nestling in Lu Yanxiu's arms and crying.

"My mother died of illness. I just saw the eldest lady and felt very grateful. That's why I wanted to take care of her and do what I can... I'm useless and can't even do a little thing well..."

Liu Qiuqiu's crying voice was a little bit seductive and sticky. Others might find it annoying, but Lu Yanxiu had been used to it for so many years and liked it very much.

Thinking of Zhang's shrewish look, he couldn't help but say, "The affairs of Youranju have nothing to do with you in the future. You just need to teach Yier and Jiaoer well in the future."

"I know."

Mingchun took the excuse of serving new tea to go into the house and took a look. Seeing the two people sticking together, he felt sorry for the young lady.

Outside the yard.

Lu Yi brought back a small cat from somewhere, tied it around its neck with a rope, and it couldn't go anywhere.

Ming Chun came out of the house and saw it, and kindly reminded him: "Young master, the cat is chasing people, you have to be careful!"

The three-year-old Lu Yi smiled brightly, held the cat in his hands and patted it: "It's okay, it will be obedient...ah!"

As soon as the words fell, the cat struggled several times, jumped out of Lu Yi's arms, hid in the corner of a tree, and looked at the two people vigilantly.

The two claw marks on the back of Lu Yi's hand were burning with pain.

Ming Chun hurried into the house to find the golden sore medicine, but when he came out with the medicine, he didn't see Lu Yi.

"Where did she go?"

After searching the courtyard for a while, Mingchun couldn't find her, so she gave up. She went into the house and reported the matter to Lu Yanxiu so that he would know, otherwise it would be her fault as a maid.

The next morning, the sky was filled with morning glow.

Lu Yanxiu kept his promise and went to Su's house to pick up Su He and bring him back home.

Wang and others saw that he had a cold attitude, so they just told Su He to take care of himself and ignored him.

Lu Yanxiu knew that this change in mood must have happened, maybe Su He said something bad in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In the carriage, Su He quietly looked at the shops on both sides of the street. Lu Yanxiu secretly glanced at her several times, fingers intertwined nervously, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lord Lu came to the mansion yesterday. Did you discuss something important with your father?"

Lu Huaihe relied on the fact that he was the only son of the eldest princess, and was very proud in front of him. Lu Yanxiu couldn't get a good deal in front of him, and he didn't have the courage to ask his father-in-law, so he had to test the waters in front of Su He.

Su He turned her head to look at him, her eyes were calm, "The Emperor likes riding and shooting, and he wants to hold a hunting ceremony in the hunting grounds. As the Minister of Rites, my father should take care of this matter. But the eldest princess and Princess Xianyin will also participate in this ceremony, so Lord Lu came here to give instructions. It seems that my husband has been obsessed with the joy of Sister Liu's entry into the mansion these days, and he doesn't even care about the affairs of the court."

Her tone was steady, without sarcasm or ridicule. Lu Yanxiu found it very harsh, as if Su He was mocking him for not caring about his career, so he would not have the opportunity to rise.

"So that's the case..."

Lu Yanxiu had a trace of shame on his face, rubbed his hands between his knees, and said nothing more.

The carriage stopped at Lu's mansion.

Su He went straight back to the Osmanthus Courtyard. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw a pile of bloody and hairy corpses.

Pei Xia screamed and bravely went to the front to check. She turned the cat over with her hands and suddenly vomited!

It was a cat.

The bloody little cat was ripped open, its mouth was cut, and its limbs were cut off!

"Who threw it in the Osmanthus Courtyard? Who is so brave?" Pei Xia was afraid that the young lady would be disgusted when she saw it, so she quickly ran into the house and took an old dress to cover the little cat.

Su He never liked too many people to serve her. Pei Xia was the only personal maid. When they left, there was no one in the Osmanthus Courtyard, so no maid noticed it. Su He

frowned, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

The blood had already coagulated, and it seemed that the cat had been dead for a long time.

The Lu Mansion was so big, but they only threw the cat in her yard?

Su He couldn't bear to look at it a second time.

She asked Pei Xia to put the cat in a wooden box, wrapped it with cloth strips, and brought it to the hall.

"Miss, this is..."

Su He said: "The cat was obviously abused to death, and it appeared in my yard. It's clearly a provocation. Look carefully in the yard, is there anything suspicious?"

Pei Xia quickly put the cat away, and her heart ached when she looked at the broken body.

"It's a life after all, who is so vicious?"

In the hall.

Pei Xia called all the servants in the mansion here, a total of fifty people.

When they saw Su He sitting upright in the hall, with a hint of majesty in his cool eyes, they could not help but quiet down and did not dare to say anything.

"Madam, everyone is here. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

After counting the number of people, housekeeper Zhu stood beside Su He in a proper manner, carefully observing Su He's expression, and suddenly felt that something bad was going on.

Pei Xia presented the wooden box covered with a cloth strip, placed it in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Madam has something to ask, if any of you know, just tell me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone guessed what happened?

"No one in the mansion has a cat, but there is a small cat in the Osmanthus Courtyard. Do you know who it belongs to?"

Hearing Pei Xia's voice, Mingchun, who was standing at the end of the crowd, suddenly thought of the cat that Lu Yi brought back. It bit him yesterday and disappeared.

Before Mingchun decided whether to raise his hand to answer, someone had already said, "I saw the young master holding a cat. He picked it up from the back door of Lu's house. It was white and yellow, about this long..."

The maid gestured with her hand to measure the length of the cat. In fact, it was almost the same as she described.

Su He understood and sent housekeeper Zhu to invite Lu Yanxiu first. As soon as he returned to the house, he went to Tingyuxuan, thinking about Liu Qiuqiu all the time.

Soon Lu Yanxiu came and saw the hall full of servants. He thought she was making trouble again, and his face darkened. He asked Su He: "What are you doing?"
