Late at night, Xie Qingmei woke up slowly from her sleep and stood up in a daze.

She regretted drinking too much tonight, and when she thought about the fact that her room was some distance from the bathroom, her mood instantly became not so good.

The moment Xie Qingmei pushed open the door, a strong smell of blood hit her in the face.

Her brows immediately furrowed, and she covered her mouth and nose with her hands, feeling panic in her heart.

What happened in the Governor's Mansion?

Why didn't she hear anything?

"Ah..." Xie Qingmei screamed in shock. She saw a bloody corpse falling from the sky and hanging at her door. It looked particularly hideous and terrifying in the dim light.

The blood on the corpse was still dripping slowly, making a slight "tick-tick" sound. In this dead silent night, it was like a death-prompting drumbeat, beating on Xie Qingmei's heart.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..." Xie Qingmei's terrified scream pierced the night sky.

The lights in the Governor's Mansion lit up instantly, and the servants who heard the noise rushed out in a hurry.

When the body was put down, Xie Qingmei finally saw the face clearly.

When she saw that it was Liu Ye, Xie Qingmei felt a little nervous.

"Master!" Xie Qingmei rushed towards him aggrievedly upon seeing Marshal Xiao Zhenyue, "Wuwuwu... Master, I'm scared to death!"

Xiao Zhenyue seemed to have been woken up from bed as well. He came out in a blue silk pajamas, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes full of anger and irritability after being woken up in the middle of the night.

"What's going on?" Xiao Zhenyue questioned. The murderous aura of being in a high position for a long time and on the battlefield enveloped the man.

"Master, I don't know what happened. I smelled blood when I got up at night, and then this...this corpse appeared outside my house. I was scared to death!" Xie Qingmei's eyes were red and her body was trembling slightly. Thinking of the horrific scene she had seen before, she could no longer suppress the resentment that was churning in her body. She clenched her hands into fists, and her nails dug deep into her palms.

Only the pain in her palms could suppress the resentment in her heart.

Xiao Yun!!!!

He is really great.

"Is this a servant from the mansion?" Xiao Zhenyue glanced at the person on the ground.

"Master, this man is not dead, he is still breathing!" After checking, the steward of the Governor's Mansion took another look at the maid and said, "Master, this... this is a servant from the Young Marshal's Mansion."

Xiao Zhenyue's face darkened, "Go call Xiao Yun!"

Xie Qingmei rolled her eyes, and she cried with red eyes, "Is this... is this a servant from the Young Marshal's Mansion? Master, I have no grudge against the Young Master. Why... why did he scare me like this? You must help me!"

Xie Qingmei had no idea what Xiao Yun had found out. Liu Ye was someone she had arranged to work in the Young Marshal's Mansion when it was first opened, and she had never touched this chess piece in all these years.

There is no way Xiao Yun would find out.

Xie Qingmei comforted herself in her heart, curled up beside Xiao Zhenyue, thinking of Liu Ye hanging at her door with blood all over her body, like a ghost.

Xie Qingmei shrank back in fear.

"Dad, what do you want to talk to me about in the middle of the night?" Xiao Yun walked over confidently and stepped directly over Liu Ye's body, as if he didn't see his existence.

"Is this the servant in your house?" Xiao Zhenyue asked, pointing at the willow leaves on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun glanced sideways and said, "Oh! Is there a problem?"

"Young Master, no matter what you say about me... I am still half your mother. If I have made any mistakes, I will apologize to you. Why are you scaring me like this?" Xie Qingmei said, and then she covered her mouth and started crying.

Xiao Yun sat directly on the sofa, crossed his legs, leaned back, and said sarcastically, "Second Madam, do you really not recognize her?"

"I only know that he is a servant in your house, how could I know him?" Xie Qingmei said hurriedly.

Xiao Yun took out two things from his pocket and threw them on the coffee table. "Second Madam, these are your things!"

When Xie Qingmei saw the two objects on the table, her expression changed. "These are the little things I usually give to the servants. What's wrong?"

"Really? The Second Madam rewarded Liu Ye quite a bit!" Xiao Yun taunted, "Father, Liu Ye poisoned my house today."

"Are you okay?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenyue sat up straight and asked with concern, his face showing worry.

"I'm fine. The one who was poisoned was Shen Boju's daughter." When Xiao Yun mentioned Shen Chaoyan, his face darkened. From the morning when she was poisoned until now, although Shen Chaoyan had been detoxified, she had not woken up yet.

"Old Shen's daughter? Chaoyan?" Xiao Zhenyue raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Xie Qingmei rolled her eyes and sighed, "Master, Shen Chaoyan is a married woman after all. You are always with her..."

"Is this the reason why the Second Madam poisoned me?" Xiao Yun's face was as cold as a sculpture, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his deep eyes were full of coldness.

"You did it!" Xiao Zhenyue glared at Xie Qingmei angrily when he heard it.

"Master, I... I didn't!" Xie Qingmei naturally would not admit it.

"Dad, Xie Gongqiu kidnapped Shen Chaoyan the day before yesterday!" Xiao Yun said again.

Xie Qingmei's face was pale. She looked at Xiao Zhenyue in panic and shook her head repeatedly.

Xiao Zhenyue pursed his lips tightly into a straight line, his angry eyes like an enraged lion, "You've stretched your hands too far!"

Xie Qingmei knew that Xiao Zhenyue no longer believed in her.

Xiao Zhenyue's most precious son is Xiao Yun. In his eyes, Xiao Yun is the best and the one most like him.

As long as Xiao Yun was around, he favored Xiao Yun the most. No matter what mistakes he made, Xiao Zhenyue seemed to be able to forgive him.

"Master, please listen to my explanation..." Xie Qingmei called out anxiously, reaching out to grab Xiao Zhenyue's hand, trying to explain.

However, Xiao Zhenyue had already stood up, shook off her hand, and swept his sharp eyes towards her.

Xie Qingmei shrank her neck, fear in her eyes.

"Come with me to the study!" Xiao Zhenyue said this and went straight to the study.

Xiao Yun glanced at Xie Qingmei and sneered.

Xie Qingmei's face turned ashen and she was extremely angry. Damn it!

"Xiao Yun, I want you to die!" Xie Qingmei was extremely angry, and the hatred in her eyes almost overflowed.

"Mom, be careful with your words!"

A moist male voice sounded, and the young man came to her side and reached out to hold Xie Qingmei down.

When Xie Qingmei saw her son, all the grievances she had felt instantly flooded her heart. "Jia Yan, look at your father. Apart from Xiao Yun, where is the mother and I in his eyes? Mother has suffered such a great injustice tonight, and what happened in the end..."

The more Xie Qingmei thought about it, the angrier she became. "No, we can't just let this go. Isn't Xiao Yun inseparable from Shen Chaoyan? I want to see if the Marshal will still protect him for no reason after everyone knows that he stole someone else's wife!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiayan immediately said, "Mom, you must not do anything reckless. This concerns the reputation of our Governor's Mansion. If Dad finds out about this and finds out it's you, do you think he'll let you go?"

Xie Qingmei was so angry that she yelled at him, "This won't work, and that won't work! Are you going to let me pretend nothing happened?"
