Chapter 314 Zhou Qingdai's Death
Wen Zimei stood up instantly, and her voice instantly lost its original sound: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"The girl was attacked on her way down the mountain and is no longer with us..."
"Say another word? What happened to my daughter?" Wen Zimei felt like the sky was falling.
The nanny also collapsed instantly. Is this news true or false?
"Who told you?" the nanny asked hurriedly.
"My in-laws came to report the death. They said that the old lady was also injured, and now they are waiting for the eldest lady to come over to discuss the funeral arrangements..."
Wen Zimei rushed over and kicked him: "Why are you barking like a dog? How could my daughter die? She was injured in an accident. Wait for me to come over?"
The servant dared not say anything more and could only kneel there in silence.
Wen Zimei was cursing as she walked out. Nanny quickly followed behind her, trying to comfort her: "Madam, don't worry, let's go and take a look. Maybe it's just a false alarm."
Wen Zimei kept walking, muttering, "Yes, it must be a false alarm. My daughter is blessed with a long life, how could she be in trouble?"
As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably. The nanny felt very distressed seeing this, but she didn't know what to do.
The two of them hurried out, got on the carriage, and headed towards their in-laws.
Along the way, Wen Zimei's heart was in turmoil. She didn't dare to think or believe that her daughter was really gone.
She just hoped that what she just heard was an illusion, and when she woke up, her daughter would still be by her side.
However, when she rushed to her in-laws' house and saw Zhou Qingdai lying on the bed, looking shabby and with a pale face, she knew that her end had come.
My daughter is really dead.
Wen Zimei instantly collapsed to the ground, crying, "My daughter, how could you be so cruel to abandon your mother..."
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law, who had just treated the wound and was still wearing a bandage, came over and advised, "Mother-in-law, please see your child one last time..."
Only then did Wen Zimei stand up with the help of the nanny and walk up to Zhou Qingdai.
The son-in-law also stepped forward to support her and said, "Mother-in-law, I am so sad..."
This sentence made Wen Zimei even more devastated.
Before she could see Zhou Qingdai's face clearly, her tears had already blurred her vision.
Her hands trembled as she wanted to touch her daughter's face, but she was afraid of disturbing her, so she could only cry helplessly.
The nanny was also in tears. She patted Wen Zimei's back gently, trying to give her some comfort.
"Madam, please don't be too sad. The girl's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to be like this." The nanny said with a sob.
Wen Zimei didn't answer, but cried even harder. She couldn't accept the cruel fact that her daughter, the considerate daughter, had left her like this.
She recalled every little detail of her daughter's childhood, and how she had comforted her when she visited her a few days ago, as if it were just yesterday. But now, her daughter was lying here, gone forever.
Wen Zimei's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
She hated herself for not protecting her daughter and letting her suffer such a misfortune.
"My daughter, why do you have such a miserable life..." Wen Zimei cried, her voice hoarse.
The injured mother-in-law and Zhou Qingdai's husband were also crying silently.
They knew that at this moment, any words were pale and powerless, and they could only silently accompany Wen Zimei and let her vent her grief to her heart's content.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and only Wen Zimei's crying echoed in the house.
The nanny looked at Zhou Qingdai's face and remembered what the servant said when she reported it. She knew that her girl's death must be serious.
"Madam, the most important thing now is to find out how the girl died..."
This sentence reminded Wen Zimei. She forced herself out of her grief and looked at her mother-in-law.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law was frightened by her aura and even felt a little guilty.
"Today we originally wanted to go to the Five Dragons Palace to meet up with the people from the Duke of Shou's Mansion, but people from the Prince of Duan's Mansion also went there, and they didn't want to pay any attention to us. Then Qingdai suddenly received a message on a carrier pigeon saying that something had happened in the city. Someone told her that you, my mother-in-law, were in danger, and she had to come back to report it. As a result, on our way down the mountain, we encountered a group of robbers. Not only did they steal our money, they also hacked Qingdai to death... My poor daughter-in-law, we have been very cooperative. She just said that she would give them all the money and would not report it to the police. She just hoped that they would let us go as soon as possible. She had important matters to return to the city, which angered the group..."
"God is so blind! Why did he let us encounter such a thing?"
After Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law finished speaking, Wen Zimei felt even more distressed.
The daughter hurried down the mountain, actually for herself.
But who sent her this false news by carrier pigeon?
She immediately realized that her daughter's murder was not an accident, but someone had carefully planned everything.
A sharp glint flashed in Wen Zimei's eyes. She tried to remain calm and asked, "What about the carrier pigeon? Did it leave any clues?"
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law said guiltily, "No, Qingdai only said so verbally. I trusted her, so why would I ask to see it? She wouldn't joke about your life... But from beginning to end, I never saw the note."
Wen Zimei then asked the maidservant following Zhou Qingdai: "What about you? Did you see it?"
"No, Madam, we haven't seen it either..."
"When did the carrier pigeons arrive?" Wen Zimei felt more and more puzzled the more he listened.
"It seems that when the girl went to burn incense, none of us went in. Only the Chaoyang County Lady was inside at the time. I don't know what happened inside, but after the girl came out, she hurried home."
The maid's words gave Wen Zimei a lot of hints.
"This matter is actually related to Gu Ruanci?"
The maid was unsure and said, "Madam, we don't know either. We were always with the girl at other times, except when she went in to burn incense."
Wen Zimei fell silent, all kinds of emotions gathered in her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Gu Ruanci, why did you appear there, and why did the people from Prince Duan's Mansion go there?
Why did my daughter leave in such a hurry after being alone with you? What is your relationship with those gangsters?
"Report to the police..." Wen Zimei couldn't figure out these questions. She only knew that her daughter's death could not be in vain.
"We've already reported it, and the authorities said they'll expedite the matter. However, we haven't brought back any useful clues. They're going to send someone to investigate the scene first before moving forward."
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law said this with a feeling of grievance.
Wen Zimei's eyes were already burning with anger: "I must find out who killed my daughter and tear them into pieces!"
