"Someone's dead, Master." Sun Yimo's eyes widened as she leaned over to Shen Qingwu's ear and whispered, "I heard from Brother Sun Wang that Aunt Wu's husband is dead, but they all said not to disturb you yet and to wait until you wake up."
Sun Yimo's words successfully dispelled most of Shen Qingwu's sleepiness. She stood up holding Sun Yimo and asked uncertainly, "Who did you say died?"
"Auntie Wu's man, Sister Liu Hong's father." Sun Yimo climbed down from the bed and skillfully went to get clothes for Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu rubbed his heavy head, stood up and put on his clothes, and asked the little guy beside him, "Do you know when it happened?"
"I heard from them that my second brother had already taken people there last night." Sun Yimo actively picked up the towel and waited for Shen Qingwu to get dressed and go out to wash his face.
…
Shen Qingwu and Shen Qingfeng also quickly rode to Xinghua Village. The bloody incident of an entire family being wiped out, the corpses scattered in the courtyard and the blood everywhere were very scary at first glance.
"He's dead after all." Shen Qingwu looked at the scene in the farmyard, which overlapped with what he had seen in Liu Genshu's future. However, Wu Cuicui and her mother and daughter were missing, and there was a concubine's son.
She had thought that after that night, the fate of this family would be changed, but she didn't expect that everything was just postponed and the fate remained unchanged.
The government officials arrived late, and Wu Cuicui, who was kicked out of her home with her two children, became the biggest suspect.
At Shen Qingwu's suggestion, Wu Cuicui shook her head. "I don't know if he's offended anyone. He and I have been divorced for over two months. Everything was fine before, and nothing ever happened."
"Miss Shen was kindhearted. Seeing how pitiful I was with my two children after my divorce, she kept me in her mansion and dismissed Liu Genshu."
"During this period, we have had no contact, and I have never left the General's Mansion. Everyone in the mansion can testify for me."
"The officers at the city gate can testify for me that I have never left the city."
Wu Cuicui answered the officer's questions truthfully, the only thing she concealed was the time when she was forced to monitor the general's mansion.
The coroner is already at the scene to record the autopsy, and the body will then be taken to the funeral home to await closure.
Wu Cuicui retreated back into the crowd, and the neighbors were also called in for questioning.
Someone in the crowd calmly approached Wu Cuicui and whispered, "What happened with the Liu family is a warning. If you don't listen to the master's arrangements, this will be your fate."
Wu Cuicui's heart trembled. When she turned around, she saw familiar faces. Everyone was looking at the coroner who was taking away the body. For a moment, she couldn't tell who had said those words in her ear.
She subconsciously looked for Shen Qingwu, but found that Shen Qingwu was not in the yard either. At that moment, she was very panicked.
At this moment, Shen Qingwu had chased the man to the village entrance, and she discovered him when he appeared.
There was no one at the village entrance, and she was about to take action, but suddenly four masked strong men jumped out of the farmyard at the village entrance.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has become quite capable after surviving a great disaster." The masked man in black said in a rough voice.
"As expected, you have taken in Wu Cuicui, her mother and her two daughters. If anything happens to Liu Genshu, you will really come here in person." The strong man slowly drew out the scimitar on his back.
"Who sent you here? What can a Wu Cuicui find out?" Shen Qingwu didn't understand the other party's train of thought. What's the point of arranging this inconspicuous person who has no access to important secrets?
She had seen Wu Cuicui's past, and she was just an ordinary peasant woman.
"Stop talking nonsense. If we can capture her alive today, this trip will not be in vain!" As he said that, the man swung his scimitar at Shen Qingwu, and several other people also took action.
Shen Qingwu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly took a defensive posture, looking for a breakthrough to launch an active attack.
However, before she could make a move, the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard. Several strong men felt a pain in their wrists and the knives in their hands fell to the ground.
Shen Qingwu looked over and saw Shen Qingtang standing on the wall at the street corner in a light purple skirt.
The two sisters smiled at each other, Shen Qingtang's expression changed slightly, and Shen Qingwu heard the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.
Shen Qingwu turned around and saw that all the strong men who had been showing their fangs and claws just now were falling to the ground with black blood spitting out of their mouths.
Shen Qingtang also quickly came over, her eyebrows slightly knitted, "He committed suicide by taking poison."
"What a generous move." Shen Qingwu curled her lips in mockery. Touching the dead, she could not see any past or future.
"Can Wu Cuicui still stay?" Shen Qingtang looked at the busiest place in the village and asked worriedly.
"Let's keep her for now. She is in trouble for no reason." Shen Qingwu shook his head. "I think there must be a spy in the court, and he holds a high position."
"The Shen family's troubles may not be completely over yet. Should I go and welcome my second uncle?" Shen Qingtang asked worriedly.
"I'll ask my elder and second brothers what they think before making a decision when I get back," said Shen Qingwu.
…
The case of Liu Genshu cannot be closed for the time being.
"Although they have divorced and Liu Genshu has given up Xiaohong and Qiangzi, we are still husband and wife. I will leave some money for you. After the case is closed, please trouble the village chief to help bury the people. You don't need to inform me about what happens next." Before returning to Beijing, Wu Cuicui left a sum of money for the burial of Liu Genshu's family to the village chief Liu.
The village chief was a witness to the divorce, and he had witnessed Liu Genshu's ruthlessness at the time. Now Wu Cuicui was willing to leave enough money for burial, and the village chief really couldn't continue to use moral blackmail.
Shen Qingwu and his siblings took Wu Cuicui and her daughter back to Beijing.
However, they did not expect that one problem would be followed by another, and someone actually caused trouble at the gate of the Shen family.
