Jiang Shu had no intention of talking to them. The hair and blood stains on the grass made her frightened and uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to find it." Shen Changze didn't care about a rabbit, but he knew Jiang Shu did.
After saying hello to Lu Mingke, the two went straight to Shen's mother's Tinglan Courtyard.
What Jiang Shu could think of, Shen Changze could naturally think of.
Looking at Shen Changze and Jiang Shu leaving together, Lu Mingke lowered his eyes and glanced at the blood stains on the grass, and he understood.
Jiang Shu's rabbit is probably in danger.
But this is a family matter in the Hou family and has nothing to do with him.
As soon as Shen Changze and Jiang Shu entered Tinglan Courtyard, they saw Xueqiu lying in the courtyard with his round belly, sleeping comfortably.
"Master Marquis, madam." The maid stepped forward and saluted.
Jiang Shu pointed at the snowball and asked, "Did it leave Tinglan Courtyard today?"
The maid was startled, then nodded and said truthfully: "The third lady took Xueqiu out this morning and asked Xueqiu to play with the young master and the young cousin."
Shen Qingrong ranked third, and everyone in the house called her Third Miss.
After confirming that Xueqiu had been to the garden today, Jiang Shu did not go directly to Shen Qingrong, but went to Shouyong Hall first.
Mrs. Shen just got up for a while, glanced at the bright sky outside the house, and wondered: "Why did you come so early?"
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the day when the master of the Hou Mansion has dinner at Shou Yong Hall.
"Grandma, we want to ask Yan Yang and Yan Huan a few words." Shen Changze explained.
Mrs. Shen didn't know why, so she asked her maid to call Yan Yang and Yan Huan over.
"Dad." Yan Huan was very happy to see Shen Changze and threw herself into his arms happily.
Shen Changze picked her up and asked softly: "Yan Huan, did you go to the garden to play today?"
"I went, with my mother and aunt, as well as brother Xingyuan and Xueqiu."
"Did you see a rabbit?" Jiang Shu asked anxiously.
Yan Huan seemed to be frightened and hid in Shen Changze's arms, his face turning pale.
Shen Changze noticed something was wrong, looked at Yan Yang and said, "Yan Yang, tell me."
Compared to Yan Huan's fear, Yan Yang was very calm and spoke clearly about what happened in the garden that morning.
No one told him not to tell, so Yan Yang told the truth.
When he heard Yan Yang say that Shen Qingrong allowed a dog to bite Bubai to death and had Bubai cooked for Xueqiu to eat, Jiang Shu was trembling with anger and her eyes were red.
"Shen Qingrong!" Jiang Shu gritted his teeth and angrily stood up and headed to Huaqing Courtyard.
Shen Changze felt something was wrong and quickly put down Yan Huan and followed him.
Mrs. Shen was also shocked by Jiang Shu's reaction and sent a maid to follow her. If anything happened, she could come back and report to her.
As soon as Lu Mingke returned to Huaqing Courtyard, Lu Xingyuan pulled him to complain and act like a spoiled brat.
"Dad, your hands are bleeding."
"How did you do it?" Lu Mingke asked, holding Lu Xingyuan's wrapped hand in pain.
"The rabbit bit me, it hurts." Lu Xingyuan pursed his lips in grievance, almost bursting into tears.
Hearing the word rabbit, Lu Mingke frowned sharply and asked Shen Qingrong on the side: "What's going on?"
What a coincidence, Jiang Shu's rabbit disappeared, and Xingyuan was bitten by the rabbit.
Shen Qingrong felt a little guilty, but said confidently: "I took Xingyuan to play in the garden in the morning, and a rabbit jumped out of nowhere. Xingyuan played with it, but it bit Xingyuan without realizing it."
"Then what? What did you do to the rabbit?" Lu Mingke stared at Shen Qingrong, observing her expression.
Shen Qingrong's eyes evaded, and he said lightly, "I taught it a lesson, and then... Snowball bit it to death."
After his suspicion was confirmed, Lu Mingke frowned heavily and asked the maid to take Lu Xingyuan away. Just when he was about to scold Shen Qingrong, Jiang Shu came.
"Shen Qingrong, you vicious woman!"
Jiang Shu cursed angrily and raised his hand to hit Shen Qingrong, but Lu Mingke stopped him.
"Sister-in-law, this is indeed Qing Rong's fault, but please calm down first and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Shen Changze, who was catching up, grabbed Jiang Shu and looked at Shen Qingrong with reproachful and angry eyes.
"You still dare to hit me? The beast you raised bit Xingyuan, and I haven't settled the score with you yet." Shen Qingrong slapped him backwards, not realizing that he was at all wrong.
Jiang Shu was furious and asked Lu Mingke with red eyes: "Is this what Young Master Lu calls an explanation?"
Lu Mingke looked at Shen Qingrong with an embarrassed expression and said solemnly: "Apologise to sister-in-law."
"Why? The little beast she raised bit Xingyuan, so she should apologize." Shen Qingrong frowned and was unconvinced.
An extremely ordinary rabbit was worthy of her apology?
Absolutely impossible!
"If you didn't catch Bubai and tie him up, and prevent children and dogs from frightening him, how could he bite Xingyuan?"
"Besides, it bit Xingyuan, you can come to me to discuss the solution. But you should never kill it!"
"After you tortured and killed it, you didn't even spare its body. You were so cruel that you skinned it, boiled it and fed it to the dogs. Shen Qingrong, you are so vicious!"
Jiang Shu's voice was hoarse, his almond-shaped eyes were red, and he wished Shen Qingrong could pay for it with his life.
Lu Mingke, who didn't know the inside story, was shocked when he heard Jiang Shu's words.
He stared at Shen Qingrong in disbelief and asked, "Are you really so cruel and vicious?"
"Xingyuan was bitten, so I naturally had to deal with the culprit to vent his anger on Xingyuan." Shen Qingrong defended nonchalantly.
It's just a rabbit. If it dies, it will die. Why are you making such a fuss over it?
Lu Mingke was heartbroken and disappointed looking at Shen Qingrong, who was stubborn and arrogant.
He had been sleeping with Shen Qingrong for four years. He always thought that Shen Qingrong was just a little arrogant and petty, but he never knew that she was so vicious inside.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stopped you." Lu Mingke turned sideways, hinting to Jiang Shu to teach Shen Qingrong a lesson.
If it were him, it would be difficult to calm Shen Qingrong's anger without giving him a beating.
Jiang Shu was furious, raised his hand and rushed towards Shen Qingrong.
"Jiang Shu." Shen Changze pulled her back again.
"Is the Marquis trying to protect her?" Jiang Shu asked with red eyes.
Shen Changze opened his mouth but was speechless.
His actions have shown everything, and any explanation seems pale and hypocritical.
"Do you also think that it's just a rabbit that deserves to die if it bites someone for whatever reason?"
Jiang Shu's tone was sarcastic, and his eyes when looking at Shen Changze were full of disappointment and resentment.
Shen Changze was stung and said bravely: "That's not what I meant, but Bubai is already dead. Even if you beat Qingrong to death, it won't help."
"So we have to let the murderer go and do nothing?" Jiang Shu's heart was as cold as ice and his body could not stop shaking.
"Shen Changze, you are so generous, why don't you go to the temple and become a Buddha immediately?"
This was the first time Jiang Shu called him by his first name, and he was obviously extremely disappointed in Shen Changze.
Shen Changze's heart trembled, and he felt that he was going to lose something completely.
"I'm sorry. I apologize to you on Qingrong's behalf. You can hit me or scold me." Shen Changze said guiltily.
On one side was the wife of Ming Media, who was marrying, and on the other was his sister from the same mother. He was really embarrassed and couldn't bear to hurt either of them.
"If you dare to hit my eldest brother, the elders of the clan will not let you go." Shen Qingrong was arrogant and did not take Jiang Shu seriously at all.
