In the middle of the night, Shen Xingwan stayed in the room without feeling sleepy, while the women and maids around him couldn't help but start to take a nap.
"Ming Yue! My poor Yue'er..."
With cries of grief, Mrs. Du rushed in with red eyes and hugged Du Mingyue, whose body was already cold as she lay there.
Mr. Du, who was always shrewd, looked at his lifeless daughter without saying a word.
Du Qifeng only took one look and didn't dare to look at it a second time. The sister he had doted on since childhood was gone just like that.
"Xingwan, let's talk outside."
Mo Beichen, who had met him once, once said that although Du Qifeng was born a businessman, he was not a creature of the pond and behaved like a gentleman.
Even though he was devastated by grief, Du Qifeng obviously still maintained his rationality.
Shen Xingwan followed him out and came to the pond. He could vaguely hear Mrs. Du's heartbreaking voice coming from the yard.
"How did Mingyue die?"
"Accidentally fell into a pond and drowned."
"I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
The two looked at each other in the cold night, and both saw the coldness in each other's eyes.
Du Qifeng said decisively, "I'm going to see the eldest master of your house."
Mrs. Du also quickly endured her grief and went to see the eldest wife and the fourth young lady.
Their daughter was still alive and kicking when she went out, but died tragically in Shen Mansion within a day.
The Shen Mansion always wants to give an explanation.
Shen Xingwan left Dongqing and Chanyi to guard Du Mingyue, and returned to the courtyard first. After all, this was not the place to talk.
Fu Jingchao looked at Shen Xingwan standing by the window, "What are you waiting for."
Shen Xingwan raised his head and glanced at the moonlight, "I'm waiting for a kingdom, and I'm also waiting for justice."
Fu Jingchao yawned, "If it was an accident, the Shen family would just suppress the matter as soon as possible and make peace with it. If it was intentional, there would be no results."
"So you can't wait for anything."
What Fu Jingchao said is cruel and realistic.
Shen Xingwan stretched out his hand and let the moonlight shine on it, "I know, but so what?"
"You know, Mrs. Du just told me that she originally disagreed with Mingyue attending this banquet. It was Mingyue who insisted on making a fuss because she wanted to see me and didn't trust me."
No matter who touched Mingyue, she wants him to pay with blood!
Fu Jingchao felt that Shen Xingwanqi at this moment was strong and stubborn, and also powerful.
It should be a very happy thing for her to take her seriously and protect her even at the risk of her life.
"Miss, Miss Qi is awake." Cai Qing reminded outside the door.
Fu Jingchao jumped up from the chair, stepped aside and continued to play the role of maid with his head lowered.
Qi Zhiwei was helped in with a pale face. Shen Xingwan poured her a cup of hot tea, "If you feel uncomfortable, take a good rest and leave the rest to me."
"I don't feel at ease." Qi Zhiwei shook his head.
The two exchanged a few words and sat quietly waiting for the result.
Soon the three members of the Du family walked in with ugly expressions. Shen Xingwan stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, please sit down."
Mrs. Du was so angry that she couldn't speak. She clutched her chest and wailed, "Mrs. Shen insisted that it was an accident and Mingyue slipped and fell."
Du Qifeng sneered, "Master Shen is indeed very resourceful, showing kindness and power at the same time. I hope this matter will pass quickly and we don't cause trouble."
"The Shen family has gone too far to bully others! They have gone too far to bully others!"
Mr. Du couldn't bear this tone, "The Shen family can be considered a family that has been passed down for several dynasties. Are they just using their power to suppress others and fool us?"
Shen Xingwan lowered his eyes and trembled his eyelashes, "The Shen family has no reason to harm Mingyue. Their current attitude can only mean that they don't want to mess with the people involved, or they want to protect them."
Mr. Du slapped the tea table hard and said, "I'll beg the old lady."
From the eldest daughter of the Xie family to the old lady of the Shen family, she has always been a legend. She saved her husband from thousands of miles away and defended a city by herself as a daughter.
He was the representative of a woman who had no place in the hearts of people in the past, and was a legend of a generation.
Now that Mr. Shen has said this, only the highly respected Mrs. Shen can turn the situation around.
Du Qifeng stood up and said, "I'm going to see the old lady. Dad should arrange for my sister's funeral as soon as possible. We can't let her lie there alone like that."
"Yue'er is afraid of the dark and the cold. I want to take her home quickly."
"I'll go with you." Shen Xingwan said.
Du Qifeng refused, "I can go by myself. You are in an awkward situation now, so don't go."
Looking at Du Qifeng's thin back, Shen Xingwan's eyes grew hot.
This is why Du Qifeng is always gentle, and now he still considers her virginity carefully and gently.
To a certain extent, Du Mingyue could say that it was because of the banquet she attended that no one in the Du family had criticized her until the incident happened.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable and aching her heart became.
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du also got up and left, organizing people to take Du Mingyue's body home.
The sky soon became slightly brighter. One moment it was clear that the moon was shining brightly, but the next moment it started to rain.
Du Qifeng has not returned yet.
After all, Shen Xingwan couldn't sit still, so he held an umbrella and went outside the old lady's yard.
At a glance, he saw Du Qifeng kneeling there upright.
Shen Xingwan couldn't tell whether he was more angry or uncomfortable.
The Du Qifeng she knew was a gentleman as gentle as jade, a gentle elder brother, who was born a businessman but was always neither humble nor overbearing in his dealings.
Shen Xingwan walked to him step by step, covered his head with the umbrella in her hand, looked at the closed door, the rain was hitting her body bit by bit, it was so cold, as cold as her heart.
When Madam Hou asked her to kneel down, she swore she would never do it again in her life.
But now, if this kneeling can avenge Mingyue, she is willing.
If Du Qifeng kneels down to no avail, she will kneel down!
She is the granddaughter of the old lady in name. No matter what, the old lady will not really deny her any face.
Shen Xingwan was about to kneel down when Du Qifeng suddenly reached out and held her hand, "Don't kneel down."
"I kneel down because Mingyue is my sister and I don't want to embarrass you."
Friendship is something that can be worn away. Du Qifeng knows better than anyone else that Shen Xingwan's kneeling may be useful, but it may not be a good thing for herself.
"Ming Yue is also my sister." Shen Xingwan said softly.
"I can't protect both of them. You are also another sister in my heart. I will definitely avenge Mingyue's revenge on Huangquan Biluo." Du Qifeng said word by word.
He was very clear about Shen Xingwan's debut in the Shen Mansion. The head of the Shen Mansion wanted to suppress this matter, and this kneeling was a clear sign of his opposition.
It will only be more difficult for Shen Xingwan in the Shen Mansion.
He wanted revenge, but he didn't want to make it difficult for Shen Xingwan to move forward.
Shen Xingwan was speechless. She just suddenly remembered that when she met Fu Qifeng for the first time, he said, "You can call me brother like Mingyue. Mingyue abducted a beautiful sister for me."
Of course Shen Xingwan couldn't scream.
Du Qifeng teased her, "If you call me brother, I will give you delicious food, take you to play in the future, and protect you. It won't be a loss at all."
At the time, it seemed like a joke to tease her.
At this moment, Shen Xingwan thought to himself that it turned out to be true.
If I really call her brother, I will treat her as my sister.
