But he didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes. When he just learned that Orange was dead, Shen Ci's mind went blank, and there was only a voice in his heart telling him: Impossible, this is impossible. Orange was talking to him and smiling at him yesterday, how could she be dead?
But now, the dead orange was held in his arms, cold and icy, and Shen Ci had to accept this cruel fact.
The other children also gathered around Shen Ci and sobbed.
Shen Chaomu stood up with difficulty and staggered to Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan.
"Boss Zhao, I have an unwelcome request. Could you please ask the prefect to thoroughly investigate this matter?" Shen Chaomu pleaded, his eyes red.
Zhao Chuchu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Shen Chaomu clenched his fists and said firmly, "I don't believe that Chengzi fell into the well accidentally."
Zhao Chuchu understood: "Okay, I'll tell the prefect for you."
In this kind of situation, the government will usually send someone, but it is not certain whether they will conduct a thorough investigation.
Zhao Chuchu didn't know whether Chengzi's death was an accident, but seeing how certain Chen Chaomu was, maybe she should investigate it carefully.
Sure enough, not long after, the police arrived and brought the coroner with them.
After examining Orange's body, the coroner only found that the fatal injury was on the back of his head, which was probably caused by being hit by a sharp object. At the bottom of the well, a fist-sized, blood-stained sharp stone was found.
After hearing what Zhao Chuchu said, the officer, who knew the relationship between his master and Zhao Chuchu well, said he would conduct a more thorough investigation.
This night was not peaceful, and many people had difficulty falling asleep.
The next day, news of Orange's death spread. Some said it was an accident, some said it was murder, but no matter what, no one dared to go to the area where the dry well was located anymore.
People die every day, especially in ancient times when the system was imperfect, people could be bought and sold, and medical technology was underdeveloped.
Orange's death was just a small topic of conversation among the people in Tangzhou Prefecture after dinner.
Whether it was an accident or homicide, the authorities are still investigating.
The Tangzhou Prefecture storytelling competition is still going on and has reached the semi-finals, but Shen Ci has no intention of paying attention to it. However, he has already finished writing the entire storybook, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
Chengzi's death put Shen Chaomu's plan on hold.
Originally, she was considering taking Little Grape back to the capital for treatment, but now, Chengzi died inexplicably. Unless she found out the real cause of his death, Shen Chaomu would be uneasy and unwilling to leave.
"But I don't know when that miracle doctor will leave the capital." Hearing that Shen Chaomu had no plans to leave for the time being, Xu Hui frowned slightly.
"How about I take Little Grape back first?" Xu Hui suggested, but just as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Chaomu staring at him unkindly, obviously disagreeing.
Little Grape would be stimulated whenever she saw Xu Hui. How could Chen Chaomu feel at ease letting Little Grape go back with Xu Hui?
Seeing the distrust in Shen Chaomu's eyes, Xu Hui sighed slightly: "Forget it, I will send someone back to the capital to hold back that miracle doctor, or invite that miracle doctor to be a guest in the mansion and keep her for a while."

Zhang Xiuyuan and Shen Ci have been far ahead in terms of storybook data since the preliminary round. In the semi-finals, they entered the finals with the first and second place.
In the semi-finals, the people also saw another third of A Branch of Begonia and Mo Ci Zui Huaben.
"Her Dimples" previously talked about Chu Li being reborn as a child, bringing hot pastries and knocking on Jiang Liang's door...
