The Regent Princess has run away again

Xue Zhiyu seemed to be really focused on eating the fruit plate and didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the two people.

Mrs. Xue gave a look, and Nanny Wang understood and turned and left silently.

When she was sure that she was a certain distance away from the Plum Garden, Nanny Wang turned and went to the woodshed at the back. She didn't know when a man dressed as a servant came in behind her.

"You know what to do?"

As Nanny Wang spoke, she took out a bag of change from her sleeve and threw it over.

After the man caught it, he weighed it with his hand to estimate how much it was, with a greedy look on his face, "Okay, okay, no one can get out alive if I take action."

Nanny Wang saw the greed on his face and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at the man's back as he left, rolled her eyes, and followed him out of the woodshed.

After the man left, he probably glanced in the direction, jumped onto the roof, and walked towards Qingju as if he was familiar with the way. He didn't notice that there was a tail following him.

Qingju.

Aunt Zhou's personal maid Yuhe was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard while glaring at the maid who was sitting leisurely beside her. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and threw the broom directly to the ground.

"Yanzhi! Although you are Madam's person, since you are here, you must obey Auntie's orders. Hurry up and help clean this place!"

Yanzhi glanced at him, not paying any attention to her words, and said sarcastically, "Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson? I am the first-class maidservant of the Madam, and you are just a low-class maidservant. Go and sweep your floor."

Yu He could no longer hold back her temper, so she rolled up her sleeves and rushed up to fight with her.

"Yuhe, don't mess around."

Aunt Zhou's voice came out from inside the room in a bland tone. Yuhe had to swallow her anger, responded, and obediently picked up the broom to continue cleaning.

Yanzhi snorted with disdain, showing no respect for Aunt Zhou at all. Although the Madam's power to run the household was taken away, she believed that this was only temporary. One day the Madam would be in power again, and when that time came, she would definitely ask the Madam to sell out the damn Yuhe first.

"This place is really unlucky. It's not a place for people to stay."

When Yuhe heard this, she almost couldn't help but want to retort, but seeing her arrogant back, she could only pick up the broom and sweep in her direction as if she was sweeping away garbage.

..........

Just when Yuhe felt that she had almost finished sweeping and was about to go back, she suddenly heard a female voice screaming, but it soon disappeared, as if it was just an auditory hallucination.

Yuhe frowned, put down the broom and walked towards the door.

She didn't see anyone outside the door. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she heard a rustling sound from a small path nearby. Yu He was not afraid, but walked towards the direction of the sound with a little curiosity.

There is a shabby house on the other side of the path, which was originally intended to be used to store sundries, but since Aunt Zhou didn't have many things to begin with, naturally there were fewer sundries put in there.

For some reason, the closer Yu He got to the house, the more uneasy she felt, and she also smelled a bloody smell.

Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Yanzhi lying on the ground motionless, her wide-open eyes full of fear.

"what!!!"

Yuhe was so frightened that she fell to the ground and kept backing away, but she was still very frightened.

“Kill….Murder!!!”

The servant's frightened voice brought Yu He back to her senses. When she saw the servant turn around and run away, she woke up.

I wanted to chase after him, but my legs didn't even have the strength to stand up.

In the Plum Garden, neither of them spoke. Some drank tea while others ate fruit.

At this moment, a servant rushed in from outside, "Madam! Something terrible has happened! Someone is... someone is being murdered!"

Madam Xue frowned, looked at the servant who rushed in and scolded, "You have no manners. Can't you see the Third Miss is here? How can you behave like this!"

After Xue Zhiyu swallowed the grapes in her mouth, she waved her hand nonchalantly, "Madam, he must be in such a hurry because of something urgent. Let's forget about this."

Mrs. Xue still looked very angry, and then she sighed helplessly, "Well, tell me what happened. If you tell me a lie..."

The attendant looked at Xue Zhiyu cautiously, then knelt on both knees in front of Madam Xue, "Madam, I was cleaning the corridor next to Qingju today, but I heard a woman's scream and went over to check. Who knew..."

"How can this be! They actually committed a crime in broad daylight in my Xue Mansion. Let's go and see who it is!"

After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, she stood up and walked out with a few maids and old women. The servant also walked out tremblingly, being carried out by another person.

Xue Zhiyu looked at the figure that was gradually going away, her fingers tapping on the table inadvertently, a faint sneer appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Qiu was originally waiting outside, but when she saw Madam Xue and the others leaving in such a majestic manner, she did not see where the young lady was. Unable to suppress her worry, she hurried in.

"Miss, what happened? I see the ladies..."

"Of course, as the director of this great show, I have to go and see it myself. Let's go and take a look."

Xiaoqiu scratched her head, not knowing what the director the lady was talking about, but she followed her happily anyway.

Qingju is outside.

Yuhe was pressed to the ground by two burly servants, one on each side, but she still had a stubborn look on her face.

"Madam, this is really not my fault. Although Yanzhi and I have always been at odds, I have never thought of harming her. Please understand, Madam!"

Mrs. Xue sighed helplessly and looked at the still quiet woman beside her. The face she hated so much still showed no signs of being ravaged by time.

"Ruoxian, what do you think about this?"

Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed with surprise at her address, but then she calmed down and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. I believe Madam will give an explanation."

Mrs. Xue could understand the meaning of her words, but she still had a helpless expression, "Since Ruoxian said so, if I don't find out something, wouldn't it be a betrayal of her trust?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xue said to Nanny Wang who was following her, "Go and see what's going on."

"Yes, ma'am," Nanny Wang responded quickly, asking the servant who first discovered the place to lead the way, while the others waited there.

Soon, the two of them walked out of the small path. Before Madam Xue could ask any questions, Nanny Wang said with tears in her eyes, "Madam, it is really that girl Yanzhi, and her death was so..." When she said this, she seemed to be recalling something bad, and she cried so miserably.

Madam Xue frowned, her eyes full of sadness, "Yanzhi is my first-class maid, how could this happen... Come on, take me to see her."

Nanny Wang pretended to hesitate for a moment, then took Madam Xue to the side road.

The two servants naturally pushed Yuhe and followed them. Aunt Zhou watched them walk away, sighed, and had to follow them as well.

When they arrived at the shabby house, they saw Yanzhi, who had been dead for a long time, lying on the ground. There was no intact part of her body. Her eyes were still wide open, and the fear in her eyes was creepy.

Madam Xue had already looked disgusted. She looked at Nanny Wang and said, "Go! Find out who was responsible for cleaning here before and bring that person over to me!"

"Yes!!"

..........

Soon, as if it was planned, two servants were pushing a man in slightly shabby clothes towards this side.

Aunt Zhou originally just wanted to take a look at who it belonged to, but after seeing who it was, she couldn't help but cover her mouth. Isn't this Zhou Kewen...
