"Ambergris..." Fu Jingchao suddenly woke up and lost all sleep, "Are you sure?"
Shen Xingwan habitually tapped the table with his fingers, "There are not many people in the world who are qualified to use ambergris, so who visited the Hou Mansion late at night..."
The answer is actually already there.
Fu Jingchao glanced at the already bright sky, his expression became serious, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, "I will go out for a while, and there will be results soon."
Shen Xingwan lay on the table a little tired and didn't want to move. He didn't know whether it was because he was mentally tired or physically tired.
Banxia stayed at Du's house to help, and Chanyi was also at Du's house. She wanted to conduct a detailed autopsy on Du Mingyue to determine the cause of her death.
Qinghong walked in, "The hot water is ready. Miss, go take a bath and have a good rest."
Probably because of the rain, Shen Xingwan felt dizzy.
She couldn't fall down at this time. She had to keep her spirits up so that she could have the energy to find out the real culprit.
"Qinghong, keep an eye on what's going on in the house, especially the girls who attended yesterday's banquet."
As long as it was done, it would definitely leave traces. Du Mingyue, an innocent little girl, neither blocked anyone's way nor threatened anyone.
Her death could not be intentional murder, it could only be sudden.
There was no way that a large banquet with so many people and a killing on a whim would not leave any traces.
"I will keep an eye on you, don't worry, Miss." Qinghong said.
Qinghong is considered a family member of the family. Although he has never been successful before, he has his own network of relationships among the servants. After Shen Xingwan entered the family, he spread a lot of money. Qinghong was a capable person and quickly formed a network of people.
Man, it's not a problem to ask about something.
Shen Xingwan took a hot bath and forced himself to fall asleep.
When she woke up, it was already afternoon. She sat up and was lost in thought for a while. She still felt that everything that happened yesterday had no reality.
"Miss, please have something to eat." The second-class maid arranged by Qinghong asked cautiously.
Shen Xingwan nodded, and the food was served quickly.
Just after eating, Qinghong came back and asked everyone to leave.
Is this a reward? Shen Xingwan put down the spoon in his hand and asked, "Is there any situation?"
Qinghong nodded, with sweat on his forehead and panting.
"There's no rush. Let's have a sip of tea and sit down to talk."
Qinghong drank a large cup of tea, took a breath, then sat down and said, "The second young lady has invited a doctor. I tried to find a way to find out. He said that he was seriously ill. He had a fever last night and was in a coma.
"
"Is there anything else?" Shen Xingwan asked, but it's not easy to judge if you are sick.
Qinghong lowered her voice and said, "I asked my brother to give money to the doctor. The doctor said that the reason why the second lady suddenly fell ill was because of excessive fright."
"Too frightened?" Shen Xingwan sneered, "If I remember correctly, the second young lady was trained in the direction of a noble lady from a clan, right?"
"As the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, the second lady is the apple of the second wife's eye. She has always been favored by thousands of people." Qinghong said at the side.
"Haha, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family is not so unable to handle things, is she too frightened?" Shen Xingwan sneered.
She had some dealings with Shen Ziyin. On the surface, this second young lady seemed to be ethereal and ethereal, but in fact she was quite thoughtful.
She didn't believe that a girl who slipped and fell into the water would be so frightened.
"Locate every move in Miss Er's yard and keep an eye on her!" Shen Xingwan said in a deep voice, "Wherever money is needed, use it without sparing it."
The Shen family has lasted for many years, with many members and a large number of servants. People are always greedy, and servants are no exception. For many low-level servants, money is more important than so-called loyalty. She just came here with a shallow foundation, but Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
In the evening, news came one after another. The second wife announced that Shen Ziyin's illness was caused by catching a cold at the banquet.
Xie Zhuohua, who had lived in Shen Mansion for a while, suddenly returned to Xie's house unexpectedly. He left in a hurry and didn't even come to say goodbye to Shen Xingwan.
But Fu Jingchao did not return all night.
The next day, Shen Xingwan decided to take the initiative.
Ask Qinghong to prepare some gifts and go visit Shen Ziyin in person.
When we arrived at Shen Ziyin's yard, there was no obstruction. The maid went in and announced, and soon let Shen Xingwan enter Shen Ziyin's boudoir.
As soon as Shen Xingwan entered the room, she smelled a faint scent of agarwood. One of the major effects of agarwood scent is to help with sleep and soothe the mind.
It stands to reason that people with cold and fever tend to be tired and lethargic.
Shen Ziyin is indeed the opposite. She needs to calm her nerves and help her sleep.
It is in line with the old saying, if you don’t do anything bad, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
This makes me feel uneasy.
Shen Ziyin leaned on the bed with a weak look on her face, looking like a sick beauty that I felt pity for, and said in a soft voice, "Sister, please come and see me."
Shen Xingwan sat aside and smiled at her, "Second young lady, you should pay attention to your health. Why are you so sick all of a sudden?"
Shen Ziyin smiled listlessly.
Everyone had seen what happened to Shen Xingwan, and they all knew that the unfortunate girl from the Du family who fell into the water and died was her close friend.
Shen Ziyin has always followed the path of a little fairy with a beautiful heart and a kind heart. Seeing Shen Xingwan's clearly devastated look, she comforted her casually, "My condolences, sister. He has passed away. Let's move on as soon as possible."
Shen Xingwan immediately lowered his head and covered his eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing quietly, "I dreamed of Mingyue last night, and she said she was unwilling to give in, and she died unjustly!"
"Said he wanted to come back for revenge!" Shen Xingwan said in a sinister tone.
Shen Ziyin's expression visibly stiffened, and her already pale face turned a bit paler.
"Crash!" There was a sound of the teacup falling to the ground and breaking.
Shen Xingwan turned around and saw a maid standing at the door with a frightened look on her face, her eyes wide open and she froze on the spot.
"How do you do this? Even if you serve tea to a guest, you can't hold it steady!" Shen Ziyin scolded sternly, her eagerness was not in line with her usual fairy persona.
The maid immediately knelt down and said, "Miss Second, please punish me. I was wrong."
The whole person was trembling slightly. When the steward in Shen Zi's audio room heard the noise, she immediately walked in and said, "Why don't you get down quickly? You're a cold-blooded person who can't even do such a small thing!"
The maid retreated in panic under the displeased look in her grandma's eyes.
"The girl is laughing, it's the old slave who didn't discipline her well." The steward watched the person leave, and said to Shen Xingwan kindly, and immediately ordered someone to serve her tea again.
Shen Ziyin on the bed smiled unnaturally, "I've been sick for two days, and the people in the house have become more and more unruly."
Shen Xingwan said calmly, "It's normal to drop a cup of tea. We all make mistakes sometimes."
Shen Ziyin's hand holding the hem of her skirt under the quilt relaxed.
