Chapter 231 Zhao Shuning ran away
Xing Chuxue's expression froze, and the smile on her face froze.
Lu Zhiran and the other two exchanged glances, and a sense of subtlety arose in their hearts.
Dead?
That would be a great death!
It's disgusting to have such a scourge stay in the world, and you have to worry about when she will bite you again.
Now that I'm dead, everything is over.
But since she was Xing Chuxue's sister, they were tactful enough not to say anything too sarcastic.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Xing Chuxue quickly came to her senses.
She nodded to the maid, "I understand."
The maid retreated, and several people looked at Xing Chuxue without saying a word.
It was Xing Chuxue who spoke first, "Why are you all looking at me like that? We no longer have any sisterly feelings for each other. Her life or death has nothing to do with me. I'm just a little surprised."
She thought she would at least be sad, but in fact, apart from the initial surprise and disappointment, she did not feel too sad.
She had no intention of investigating whether the fire was an accident or caused by some other reason.
Perhaps, she is also a cold-blooded person at heart.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Xing family died in the fire spread throughout Beijing. People sighed and lamented, but soon the matter was forgotten.
This incident was like a stone thrown into a lake. It quickly disappeared under the calm surface without a ripple.
Chu Yunqing was waiting to get married in the mansion, and her life was very boring.
When she heard the news of Xing Chuying's death, she discussed it with her maid as a joke, without showing any mercy.
Finally, he remembered something and frowned, asking, "Where's that evil Zhao Shuning? Is he dead?"
The maid shook her head, "I don't know."
Chu Yunqing snorted coldly, "Go see how she's doing now? Is she dying from sores and pus? If she's going to die, she'd better die quickly, but don't wait until I get married to die, it would be unlucky."
The maid didn't dare to disobey and went quickly.
Soon, the maid came running back in a hurry, her face full of anxiety.
"Miss, this is bad, the young lady is missing!"
Chu Yunqing was surprised. "What? She's gone? She was beaten with thirty boards and was almost dead. If she wasn't recuperating in Qingdai Pavilion, where else could she go? Could it be that she went to the front yard to block my brother, hoping that he would change his mind?"
The maid shook her head. "No, that's not the case, Miss. Not only is the Young Madam missing, but Biying, who was with her, is also missing. I've inquired, and the maids and servants at Qingdai Pavilion all said that they haven't seen Biying and the Young Madam for over half a month. I searched the house and found that all the valuables were gone. I only found this letter on the dressing box. It was left for the Young Master."
Chu Yunqing's eyes almost popped out.
She snatched the letter away and opened it without caring who it was for.
As he opened it, he cursed, "I said this bitch was a disaster, and it turned out to be true. Not only did she damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, she also took away the money of the Marquis' Mansion. This evil woman must be brought back!"
Chu Yunqing rushed to Yongfu Residence and started shouting before he even entered the door.
"Mom, this is a terrible thing! Zhao Shuning ran away with the money from the Marquis' Mansion and returned to her hometown in Xiping!"
Chu Yian happened to be paying his respects at Yongfu Residence. When he heard what Chu Yunqing said, his face changed, and Jiang also looked incredulous.
"Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Zhao recuperating in Qingdai Pavilion? She's half dead, how could she possibly go to Xiping?"
When Chu Yunqing saw Chu Yian was there, he stuffed the letter directly into his hand.
"Everything valuable in her room is gone. This is the letter she left behind. It clearly states that she went to Xiping. She also vowed that there would be a war in Xiping and urged my brother to seize this opportunity, volunteer, and earn merit. It's really ridiculous. She really thinks she is such a trusted official that she even knows about the war in Xiping. I think she is just trying to cover up her crime of running away!"
Chu Yunqing's voice was noisy, and his chatter kept buzzing in Chu Yian's ears.
He looked at the letter in his hand with his eyes wide open, and didn't speak for a long time.
When Jiang heard what Chu Yunqing said, she was so angry that her face turned blue and she cursed at him with unbearable words.
Chu Yunqing was filled with righteous indignation. "Mother, let's go report her to the police and bring her back. We must also recover the silver she took away! We can't let her get away with it for nothing."
Chu Yian flatly refused.
“No!”
Chu Yunqing shouted loudly, "Why not? Brother, do you still sympathize with her? She is a disaster and will only bring trouble to our family."
Chu Yian's eyes were gloomy. "This matter is a family scandal and must not be spread outside. Otherwise, your marriage into the Prince of Wu's palace will also be affected."
Chu Yunqing is the most selfish person. If she is implicated, she will never do this.
Sure enough, when she heard this, she was instantly speechless.
Jiang also reacted immediately and immediately gave up her original idea.
The mother and daughter's hatred for Zhao Shuning increased a bit.
"She is indeed a disaster, bringing trouble to our mansion everywhere!"
Another round of unbearable abuse came, and Chu Yian's forehead throbbed, and an indescribable irritation rose in his heart.
"Alright, keep quiet! Are you afraid that others won't know about her escape?"
Chu Yian's face was gloomy and his tone was stern, and the mother and daughter finally shut up reluctantly.
"Just pretend you don't know about this matter. Just do what you normally do. No one is allowed to leak this matter, and don't spread what she said in the letter. Otherwise, I will not let you off lightly."
Based on Chu Yian's understanding of Zhao Shuning, it was impossible for her to run to Xiping for no reason, especially when she was injured.
She must have a reason for doing this.
And this reason is probably not a good one.
Could it be that Xiping was really going to be in turmoil again? But how could she know?
Chu Yian was completely puzzled and just hoped that she would not cause any more trouble in Xiping. If she really did cause trouble, the Marquis' Mansion would have no choice but to let her die of illness and would never admit that the person in Xiping was her.
This is also the reason why he asked everyone to keep their mouths shut.
This matter weighed heavily on his heart like a stone.
Jiang put aside this matter and brought up another one.
"Don't worry about Zhao Shuning anymore. Just pretend she doesn't exist. Luying just got pregnant with your child, so you should focus more on her."
On that day, Jiang took the initiative to give Luying a face, and Chu Yian accepted her as his wife.
Luying was also very hardworking and soon there was news. Now it has been more than a month and Jiang finally promoted her to a concubine.
Chu Yian has no children so far, so Jiang attaches great importance to Luying's child.
Chu Yian did not refute and nodded.
Although he was a bastard's son, he was his bloodline after all, so it was impossible for him not to value him.
