Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Shen Wanqing had just returned to her Qingfei Courtyard and had not had time to take a sip of tea when Taoer came running over in a panic.

"Oh no, Miss, the servant who was detained a few days ago and his old mother have died." The little girl was probably scared, her voice trembled, and her face was full of panic and fear.

"Weren't they fine yesterday? When did this happen?" Shen Wanqing couldn't believe it. Two lives were fine yesterday, but they were gone today.

"I heard they died of poisoning, because after dinner, both of them were bleeding from all seven orifices. It was very tragic." Tao'er was a little excited. Unlike Jing'er who was calm and collected, she would panic when something happened.

"Before, you and the eldest lady fell off the horse. After the interrogation, the lady said that she suspected the third lady was the mastermind. Now that the servants have been silenced, I think the reputation of the third lady as the mastermind has been confirmed." The little girl analyzed the current situation incessantly.

Shen Wanqing knew that any dirty tricks were common in the backyard of a mansion. She felt sorry for the mother and son. The mother was so innocent that even if she wanted to cover up the crime, she wouldn't be so cruel.

Shen Wanqing secretly clenched her fists, her eyes cold.

On the other side, in the courtyard of the main house, when the eldest lady Zhang heard about this, she was so angry that she smashed the tea bowls and cups on the table to the ground.

"Su is obviously up to something. She is definitely involved in this matter." Zhang had just brought Shen Wanzhu back. She was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Thinking of Su made her even more annoyed.

Shen Wanzhu has been timid and cowardly since childhood. Not to mention killing someone, she would blame herself for half a day if she stepped on an ant. With her personality, Zhang would never believe that she would kill someone.

She was originally a suspect in this matter, but now that the case has just been investigated, the person is dead. Now, there is no evidence to prove her wrongdoing.

"Mother, you don't have to be so anxious and angry. Calm down first. It's not worth it to hurt your body." Shen Wanxiu stepped forward to comfort Zhang, frowning slightly and persuading her softly.

"Mother, sister, it really wasn't me. How dare I kill anyone?" Shen Wanzhu cried and sobbed, her eyes already red and swollen from crying, and she looked at the two of them with pity.

If this matter cannot be investigated clearly, Shen Wanzhu will have to take the blame.

"What a preemptive move! Silencing the witness and framing someone." Zhang gnashed her teeth in hatred, a fierce look in her eyes. "Su thinks she can divert the disaster to our eldest wife this way. She's dreaming. As long as I'm here, our eldest wife won't let her manipulate us."

Zhang was a fiery woman. She was the eldest wife of the Shenhou Mansion. Based on her status and position, she should have been in charge of the household affairs. But Su had bypassed her, the eldest sister-in-law. How could she not be angry? Now that she had encountered such a thing, she must have hated Su to the core.

The incident happened so suddenly that they couldn't figure out who the real murderer was. But it reminded her of something. That day in Shen Wanru's room, Shen Wanqing said that the maids in Wutong Courtyard were talking about her as an unlucky person. Later, she found out that the rumor actually came from the eldest lady's courtyard.

Because the two sisters had a good relationship on weekdays, Shen Wanxiu didn't take it seriously. Maybe the little girl was just chatting out of boredom. Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although Shen Wanqing is also a legitimate daughter, compared with Shen Wanru, her life in this mansion is not even as good as that of a lowly maid. Her misfortune comes from these ominous rumors.

The person who spread this rumor was actually my sister, who was born to the same mother. She was truly vicious.

Was the death of the servant and his son also Shen Wanru's doing, or was it all a play directed and acted by her herself?

Her intuition told her that the death of the servant and his mother was closely related to Shen Wanru.

"Sister, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet. I don't think Madam will jump to conclusions so quickly. We still have room for maneuver." Shen Wanxiu wiped the tears from Shen Wanzhu's face, patted her shoulder and comforted her.

Shen Wanzhu's heart was in a mess and she couldn't stop wiping away her tears.

"Now that he's dead and there's no evidence, Su is pinning the blame on our eldest family. We don't know how they'll punish Zhu'er." Zhang was furious.

"Mother, please don't get too angry. The servant and his mother died suddenly. It happened so suddenly. Even if they were poisoned, we can always find evidence from the food they used." Compared to the panic of the two, Shen Wanxiu seemed unusually calm. "Since Madam doesn't want to investigate further, without sufficient evidence, it's useless for us to say anything. Why don't we go over and apologize first, so that the murderer can let down his guard, and then we can send someone to investigate the truth."

"This incident happened suddenly, and I think the murderer hasn't cleared away the evidence yet. As long as we follow the water and food used by the servant and his son, we will definitely find useful clues. Then we will definitely find the murderer and give my sister justice."

Seeing that what Shen Wanxiu said made sense and her calm demeanor made Zhang and Shen Wanzhu trust her very much, and they both agreed with her.

In Wutong Courtyard, Su was also very worried about this matter.

After all, it was a matter of two lives. Although the victim was a servant of insignificant importance, the incident happened in the Hou Mansion. As the mistress of the house, she must give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Nanny Zhu stood behind Su, gently massaging both of her temples. On the table beside her was lit some calming incense, the fragrance of which was refreshing and pleasant.

"The family confessed that it was Shen Wanzhu who ordered it. Just when we had some clues in the past few days, this person died. There is no evidence at all. So the blame is directed at the eldest wife." Su raised her hand, and Nanny Zhu immediately stepped aside.

"Although the Third Miss is timid, she is not stupid. The servant was suddenly killed, so I think the murderer is someone else." Nanny Zhu folded her hands in front of her belly and replied respectfully.

"Right now, the first wife is in the middle of a storm. The people in the first wife are not stupid. They would not kill someone to prove this crime."

Su's lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Can someone check who prepared the meal for the servant and his mother?"

"I have already given the orders." Nanny Zhu said in a deep voice.

"If it wasn't done by someone from the first house, who else in this mansion would do such a heartless thing? Su racked her brains but couldn't think of anyone who could do this. She frowned slightly, her fatigue evident.

Those are two lives.

When thinking carefully about the interrogation of the servant, Shen Wanru's lack of calmness was also her idea to detain his mother as well.

How could an unmarried girl not have a trace of compassion?

This time the servant and his mother died suddenly of poisoning. Could it be Shen Wanru's doing?

Su was startled by this sudden thought and shook her head quickly. How could her beloved daughter be a murderer? She thought she was too tired to have such thoughts.

Ru'er is kind-hearted and everyone in the mansion praises her very much. She would never do such a thing as killing someone.

Nanny Zhu saw Su's reaction clearly. She wanted to step forward and tell her what she knew, but she hesitated.
