She mistakenly got into the bridal sedan chair and married a sickly but powerful minister, becoming

"Why are you making such a racket? You have no manners." Madam Shen looked displeased, but did not scold him. "What happened?"

"Someone has died." The old woman said in a panic, her face ashen. "The person drowned in the pond at Wanfeng Pavilion. It alarmed the steward, who then sent this old servant to deliver the message."

Madam Shen suddenly stood up: "Who's in trouble?"

The old woman replied, "This old servant doesn't know. The steward arranged for people to go into the water to retrieve it."

Madam Shen walked out anxiously: "This is outrageous! In broad daylight, how dare they commit murder in our own home!"

Shen Qingtan hurriedly followed.

Shen Mingzhu jogged a few steps to catch up with Shen Qingtan: "Big sister, don't worry, Liuyue and Tingxue will be fine."

"Who said I was worried about them getting into trouble?" Shen Qingtan paused, her clear gaze fixed on her. "My courtyard and Wanfeng Pavilion are in the north and south, respectively. Why would they go to Wanfeng Pavilion for no reason?"

Shen Mingzhu dared not look directly into Shen Qingtan's eyes. Those eyes were clear as water, glancing at her indifferently, yet they seemed to see into her heart, making her heart tighten for no reason.

She looked away, then heard Shen Qingtan ask, "Or is there something I don't know?"

"No!" Shen Mingzhu denied it outright: "I... I just saw that they hadn't come, and then someone had an accident at this time, so... I started to think about them."

"Why are you so agitated?" Shen Qingtan raised an eyebrow and said in a light tone, "I was just asking casually."

As Shen Mingzhu watched Shen Qingtan's departing figure, she felt a surge of anger rising in her head, and a deep resentment welled up in her heart.

This bitch!

But then he thought of Shen Qingtan seeing Tingxue and Liuyue's corpses, and felt a surge of pleasure.

Let you be smug for a little while longer.

Shen Mingzhu pursed her upturned lips and followed to watch the show.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu exchanged a glance and then followed.

Madam Shen walked too fast and became a little out of breath, so she slowed down.

Shen Qingtan supported her arm: "Mother, let me help you."

Madam Shen paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

She had previously arranged for maids to accompany Shen Qingtan in her dowry, but Shen Qingtan refused to use them, only valuing Tingxue and Liuyue. These two unruly servants were loyal to Shen Qingtan and unwilling to act as her spies.

Only by eliminating Liuyue and Tingxue can they place someone by Shen Qingtan's side.

It seems things have been settled with Wei's mother.

Madam Shen was in a good mood, but her face showed anxiety.

The group arrived at Wanfeng Pavilion in a grand procession.

Shen Qingtan saw several servants carrying a person out of the water and swimming towards the shore.

Madam Shen seemed unable to bear the sight, turning her head towards Shen Qingtan, pressing her handkerchief to her chest, and chanting Amitabha: "I wonder which unfortunate soul was murdered on such a joyous day. If I find the murderer, I will not let him off lightly!"

"Mother...Mother..." Shen Qingtan's expression changed drastically when she saw the person who had been pulled out of the water. She swayed slightly and said in disbelief, "How could this be..."

When Madam Shen saw Shen Qingtan's face turn pale in an instant, and then see Shen Mingzhu's face showing a hint of excitement, her eyes widened in an instant, and all the color drained from her face.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked towards the pond. She saw the person lying on the ground, and it was not Liuyue and Tingxue, but clearly Wei Mama!

"No...impossible..."

Madam Shen's vision blurred, and she swayed precariously.

The person who couldn't accept the death was Wei's mother.

It was clearly she who left Wei's mother behind and led Liu Yue and Ting Xue to Wanfeng Pavilion; everything was arranged perfectly.

How could it be Wei's mother who died?

What about Liuyue and Tingxue?

"Investigate!" Madam Shen gritted her teeth and said, "Summon everyone who came to Wanfeng Pavilion today!"

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Shen Qingtan was sinister and vicious.

This matter is absolutely related to that bastard.
