The sky was still quite gloomy, the candles in the room had been extinguished, and everything in front of me was pitch black.
She sat up and covered her face with her hands.
She still remembered that on such a rainy night, her Mingyi... died.
Although Shen Fengxu had no close relationship with Ming Shu, Ming Yi was her biological daughter, and her facial features were somewhat similar to hers. She was always so soft and cute, and would hold her by the corner of her clothes and call her mother.
Although Shen Fengxu didn't take Mingshu seriously at first, Mingshu was still her husband, and Shen Fengxu treated him with respect as a guest. However, after Mingyi's death, Shen Fengxu was no longer close to Mingshu.
Without him, when I see Mingshu, I will think of Mingyi.
She originally thought that Ming Yi died accidentally, but before she died, she finally knew that it was Shen Yulou who had done all this.
Mingyi's death was due to the handiwork of Shen Yulou.
She remembered that at that time, when she was still in prison, Shen Yulou was standing in front of her.
"I clearly married better than you, so why am I not living as well as you?"
She just said that, and she burst into tears.
"Why did you have a child as soon as you married Prince Ning? But I have been married to the third prince for seven years..."
Across the bars of the prison, Shen Yulou looked at her with great confusion:
"Your Mingyi died because of me..."
Her daughter did not die unexpectedly, but died because of Shen Yulou.
Chen Fengxu clenched his fingers slightly, his joints turning white.
Shen Yulou!
Suddenly an uneasy voice came from the side: "Girl...?"
It's cinnabar.
Chen Fengxu looked up and saw Chensha standing beside her bed, looking at her with some worry.
"It's okay. I was probably woken up by the thunder." Shen Fengxu comforted her softly, "You go to sleep first."
"My maid is not going anywhere." Chensha shook her head, "My maid is here to accompany the girl."
"Yeah." Shen Fengxu responded in a low voice.
"Girl...are you thinking about today's events?"
Shen Fengxu said solemnly: "The incident in the lotus pond before was probably the work of Shen Yulou."
She was still wondering who in the house wanted to take her life. What's more, she was with Shen Yuxiang that day. If she was not careful, both she and Shen Yuxiang would most likely drown in the lotus pond.
Now that I think about it, Shen Yulou is the only one who can kill two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that Shen Yulou's intention was not followed.
Thinking about it, Shen Yulou wouldn't give up just yet.
"It turns out that the girl has thought of it this way too." Chensha muttered, "It's just that the girl doesn't seem to have any grudge against the eldest girl, and I don't know why..."
"There is no need to keep grudges." Shen Fengxu leaned back slightly, inexplicably remembering the situation when he was still in prison. "Sometimes, jealousy alone is enough to kill someone."
Chensha nodded and said warmly: "Girl, it's better to lie down for a while. It will be dawn in an hour or two."
"good."
A night of silence.
…
The next day.
What happened at the family dinner last night has been suppressed by Shen Yanning.
Naturally, it was for Shen Yulou.
Shen Fengxu had long been accustomed to Shen Yanning's favoritism and indifference and didn't take it to heart.
After all, even if he was really caught having personal affairs with others, Shen Yanning would still protect Shen Yulou, not to mention that Shen Yulou had already passed the matter off to the dead Qing'er last night.
The dead will never talk back.
But Cui Yi is not dead.
In the Melting Snow Courtyard, Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang were having breakfast.
Cinsha suddenly ran in in a hurry.
Early this morning, Shen Fengxu asked Dansha to go out to find out information about Cui Yi.
Dansha rushed in panting and shouted: "Girl, the thief is dead!"
"Did you die because you couldn't bear the punishment?" Shen Fengxu frowned slightly, and felt that something was wrong. How could the steward of Dongning's Mansion be so careless? What's more, it concerned Shen Yulou. If Shen Yanning didn't interrogate him, It’s clear, I’m sure I won’t give up.
"There was no torture at all! My servant specifically asked Manager Li, and he said that the thief was stabbed to death." Dan Sha was very angry, "He was locked up well, how could he be stabbed to death?" Some people were afraid that he would spill the beans, so they killed him and silenced him."
Shen Baitang sneered: "It's quite impressive."
How can people in the Dong Ningbo Mansion be killed so easily? But with the eldest lady here, it is not necessarily the case. She is the mistress of the Dongning Bo Mansion. If Shen Yuxiang confesses to her, the eldest lady will naturally help her. reason.
"With the eldest lady taking care of her, of course she won't be afraid anymore." Chen Fengxu just smiled slightly, "Dansha, come here, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, he whispered something into Dansha's ear.
Hearing this, Cinsha couldn't help but hesitate a little: "Is it really feasible?"
"Just do it."
"Yes, my maid understands." Cinsha said and ran out quickly.
Shen Baitang couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked, "What did you tell her?"
"Second sister, please don't worry about so much." Shen Fengxu smiled lightly, "If you don't eat quickly, you won't have time to go to the academy."
"Okay, okay." Shen Baitang had no choice but to say, "I'm going to the academy now, so I won't disturb Feng Xu."
…
The night falls silently.
The sky was dark and dim without a moon.
In Dong Ning Bo's Mansion, the night guard was walking on the bluestone path with a lantern in his hand.
Suddenly there was a slight sound coming from the flowers nearby.
The guard immediately turned around and asked: "Who is it?!"
However, there was silence among the flowers, only the cold sound of wind blowing by, shocking people's hearts.
The guard calmed down and saw that there was no one among the flowers. He glanced around with slight surprise, then turned around and started to leave.
But before he had taken a few steps, a miserable sound fell into his ears, like crying, like crying.
He turned his head suddenly and saw a figure in white with long hair hanging loose. There were dark red blood stains on the clothes. It seemed that the smell of blood was coming from him. The man was walking towards his direction step by step. Although the pace was limping, every step stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a shocking sound.
He immediately staggered back, but the same sound came from behind him.
Another figure in white was approaching from behind him step by step.
As soon as his hand was loosened, the lantern came out.
The lights went out in an instant.
Under the pale and dim moonlight, two figures in white were vaguely visible, pressing towards him continuously.
There was a faint cry: "Why do you want to kill me?"
The guard's legs were weak, and he fell to the ground, shivering and retreating: "I have never killed anyone! Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. It was not me who caused you harm!"
