Chapter 381
Mu Yunyao understood the Second Madam's feelings. After all, Su You Ye had been sick for such a long time, and now he had finally recovered his composure. In addition, she had taken over the responsibility of being the housekeeper, so she was in high spirits.
If it was as Second Madam had guessed earlier, and if she was really the one who did it to Su You in the dark, then she would definitely have discovered it at the very first moment.
"Since Grandmother has decided that I and Su You's wedding ceremony will be held together, we might as well do as he says. There's still more than half a month left, so I might as well make some good preparations."
"Yunyao, tell me, could it be her … … "You want to take action against You`er at the prime of your life and blame it on you?" When she thought of this possibility, Second Madam Ye felt a chill run down her spine. Just thinking of this possibility made her heart feel as if it was about to split apart. In her previous life, Su You had most likely died around her birthday, due to severe illness, but since Su You's death, the Meng family and Su family's relationship had become closer and closer, and the Third Prince's side also had the help of the Meng family. Thinking about it now, it might even be true that …
What did the madame do to Su You? Using Su You's death, she completely tied up the Meng family?
However, since he had returned to the Su residence, he had dealt a few blow to the Meng family. Right now, the Meng family should be thinking about how to stabilize their position in the court and redeem their image in the emperor's heart. Since they didn't have time to pay attention to her little gift, then the madame might use Su You to frame her.
"Second aunt, we have not come to a conclusion yet. Don't be in such a hurry, it can't be that we are overthinking things."
Second Madam shook her head. "It is better to believe it than not. "It is always right to be on guard. If something happens, you will regret it."
"Then I will carefully help elder sister Su You recuperate her body during this period of time. Second aunt will have to worry about whatever gift you prepare. If everything really turns out as second aunt guessed, then we might as well make the best of it."
"Yunyao, what do you want to do? As long as you don't let your son be in danger, I'll definitely cooperate with you!"
"I still need to think about it carefully. When the time comes, I'll discuss it in detail with second aunt."
"Alright."
Su You had already chosen a piece and walked over, "Little sister Yun Yao, this time you've suffered a loss. I've picked a few!"
"It doesn't matter, since Second Aunt has the authority of the butler, she can help me out in the future."
Su You stuck out his tongue, looking playful and cute. "I knew you were the smartest."
Second Madam's smile was somewhat forced, and only returned to normal after a long while.
After sending off the Second Madam, Su Qing couldn't help but worriedly ask, "Yao'er, as the saying goes, a tiger doesn't devour its prey. Could it be that the madame will really kill Su You?"
Mu Yunyao shook her head, "I'm not sure either. We're also connected to the old lady by blood, isn't she the same as someone who doesn't have a shred of mercy towards us?"
Su Qing sighed, "That's true. In the eyes of the Su Clan, there has never been any kinship."
It was noon. Just as Mu Yunyao wanted to rest, she heard waves of noise coming from outside. She couldn't help but frown and stand up, "Jinlan, what's going on outside?"
Jin Lan walked in quickly with a trace of excitement on her face. "Miss, Lord Shen, from Shuntian Prefecture has arrived. He said that he has something to ask the First Madam."
Earlier, Yue Yang had told her that the fact that the First Wife had bribed a hooligan in the capital to cause trouble for her would soon be revealed. Who knew that right after returning to the capital, Lord Shen would come to his residence.
Mu Yunyao stood up and put on her clothes. "This matter has something to do with me. Let's go take a look at the liveliness."
When Mu Yunyao arrived at the East District, the First Madam, who had heard the news, hurried over. When she saw Mu Yunyao, her expression immediately turned unfriendly. "What are you doing here?"
"Greetings aunt. When I heard that Mister Shen had come, I came to inquire about the progress of the investigation on the death of Old Lady Liu and Old Lady Wang. After all, I had had my men beat up their ten staffs back then. I always felt uneasy."
The First Wife's smile was not a smile as she coldly glanced at Mu Yunyao before entering the main hall.
Shen Bingshu asked in an exceptionally direct tone, "I have come to disturb you today because I have something that I would like to ask you, Madam Meng."
"Please speak, Sir Shen. I will definitely speak without reserve."
"Alright, Madam Meng, do you know a servant named Xun Wu?"
Yes, he's a servant of the East Branch. A while ago, I sent him out to check on the grain harvest at the manor, which is quite strange. It's been quite a while, but I haven't heard his reply.
Shen Bingshu sized up the First Wife's expression, "According to my investigation, Xun Wu is already dead."
The first wife's eyes slightly widened, her expression extremely shocked. "Dead? How is that possible? Has Master Shen investigated the cause of death? A perfectly fine person has disappeared just like that. We must investigate him thoroughly. "
"I am investigating the cause of death, but I will need some time. However, Xun Wu has a brother named San. He has told me a few things, which are related to Madam."
The First Lady frowned, "It has something to do with me? "I don't know anything about Xun San, what does it have to do with me?"
"According to the instructions of San Xun, San was not sent out by Madam to investigate the harvest of the manor. Instead, he paid two taels of silver to buy some hooligans to abduct and persecute Lady Mu on her way to Baohua Temple."
The first wife quickly shook her head. "How is that possible? Although Yunyao misunderstood me, I still treat her as my own niece. "
Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. There were even thoughts of tearing her apart in the lives of doctors, and yet you're still kissing your niece? You shouldn't be afraid of being laughed at by others even if you speak of it. If he hadn't made it in time, maybe something would have happened to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. The Lady's words could not be trusted at all, but now there was no conclusive evidence, and it was just a routine inquiry, even if he did not believe it, he would not have believed it.
He couldn't question her either.
"Does that mean Madam Meng doesn't know what Xun Wu is doing?" Mister Shen, although I said that Xun Wu was a servant of the Manor, but he still received the cards and went out. As for what exactly he did, I cannot send people to keep an eye on him at all times, after all, he is still a living person. I can only say that I sent him out to check the harvest in the Manor. In addition, I heard what sire said just now …
Xiang Wu had asked people to bribe a few hooligans to find trouble with Yun Yao on the way, but when Yun Yao went to Baohua Temple, the journey was smooth and without any problems? Is there some kind of misunderstanding? "
Shen Bingshu nodded his head, "I understand. I will go back and thoroughly investigate the case. Thank you for your help today, Madam Meng." Master Shen is too courteous. "
