Xie Wanyu woke up from her sleep, gasping for air.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Early the next morning, a letter came from the border area. After reading the content of the letter, Xie Wanyu felt very happy.
"What makes Madam so happy?"
Xie Wanyu handed the letter in her hand to Zhu Fang. After reading the content, she worriedly said, "So, the Marquis will be back soon?"
"Yeah, be back soon."
How can he continue to survive without the help of any money? No matter how hard he endures, he can only survive.
So he will definitely return to Beijing quickly.
Things turned out just as Xie Wanyu said. Xiao Jing could no longer hide it and ran all the way back to Beijing.
Xie Wanyu was about to pack her things and go back to Panyun Mountain to live a peaceful life for a few days.
Qinghe walked over in a hurry, his expression a little solemn.
"Sister Zhufang."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Fang looked at Qing He in confusion.
Now that she is in charge of the Xiao Mansion, she rarely appears in Qiran Courtyard unless something important happens.
"Li's son is dead."
"What?" Zhu Fang's eyes widened in shock.
If she remembered correctly, Li's son was only three months old. How could such a young child die suddenly?
As soon as Xie Wanyu came out, she heard the conversation between the two.
It seemed like her plan was going to go to waste again.
Xiao Tuo said very sensibly, "My mother is still busy, so my son will leave first."
"Um."
Xie Wanyu nodded. As the mistress of the house, when such a big thing happened, she naturally had to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
And she also wanted to see who did it.
Xie Wanyu sat at the front seat, looking coldly at Mrs. Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Li cried so hard that her heart broke, and she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Madam, please save my child. He is still so young, how could he die?"
The Li family has lost its master.
How could her son, who was only three months old, fall into the river and drown.
Li Shi picked him up, but she couldn't feel any warmth.
She panicked! Completely panicked!
The person in front of him is the mistress of the Xiao family, the mistress of the Xiao family. Only she can make the decision for him! As long as she can do justice to herself.
Xie Wanyu stroked her forehead and asked quietly, "Why did he appear by the river?"
Mrs. Li raised her tearful eyes and replied choked with sobs, "I don't know who I am, but Brother Yun has always been taken care of by the maid."
Xie Wanyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Bring the person here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, the maid was led slowly into the hall.
She was soaked all over, her cheeks were pale, and her eyes were staring ahead blankly.
Xie Wanyu looked at her carefully for a moment and suddenly said, "What's your name?"
The maid seemed to be frightened and stayed there, refusing to speak no matter what she asked.
Li continued crying, "She was the one who rescued Brother Yun. When she learned that Brother Yun was dead, she has been like this ever since."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. At the end of the sentence, she grabbed the maid's lapel and roared, "Speak! Why don't you dare to speak! Did you kill my brother Yun? Didn't you!"
"You bitch! I'll strangle you to death!" Mrs. Li pinched the maid's neck fiercely.
Xie Wanyu quickly stopped her, "That's enough."
"Madam, you have to make the decision for Brother Yun. Brother Yun died unjustly!" Mrs. Li cried loudly.
She didn't believe that Brother Yun's death was accidental. Someone must have planned it.
Xie Wanyu rubbed her painful temples and told Zhufang, "Pull her down and change into clean clothes. Put her in the woodshed first."
Xie Wanyu shifted her gaze and said to another maid in the room, "Go and ask the doctor to come over."
And this incident soon alerted other people, including Mrs. Xiao who was taking medicated food.
After learning that Li's son was dead, he immediately called Xie Wanyu to inquire.
"What's going on? Why did a good-looking child suddenly die?"
"How do you become a mistress? You can't even take care of a child!"
Xie Wanyu didn't say a word, but Mrs. Xiao came up and scolded her, putting all the blame on her.
"Yes, brother and sister, you didn't even tell your grandmother about such a big matter. Are you worried that others will find out something?" Xue Xuening walked in, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
Unexpectedly, Li's son died like this, which was a great joy. How could she not join in the fun of such a good thing?
"What are you doing there? What's going on? Please say something!" Madam Xiao raised her hand and slapped it on the low table in anger.
Xie Wanyu casually turned the jade bracelet on her wrist, leaned back leisurely on the chair, and retorted calmly: "When will grandma give me a chance to speak?"
"Since you came in, you have been talking there. How dare my granddaughter-in-law interrupt?"
Xue Xuening sneered, "Brothers and sisters, please don't change the subject. Let's talk about Brother Yun first."
Xie Wanyu raised her eyes to look at her, and then looked away. It seemed that it was not her fault.
Who could it be?
Could it be Xiao Yinshuang?
Xie Wanyu briefly explained the matter. After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao became even more angry.
"What a crime, such a young child..."
"I sent someone to investigate. The maid didn't know when Brother Yun left. When she reacted and went to look for her, she found the child in the water. She immediately jumped down and fished the child out. When she learned that Brother Yun was dead, she was frightened. .”
"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Or maybe you bribed the maid. Let her take Brother Yun out first and throw him into the river. It is not impossible to salvage him after he dies." .
Xie Wanyu glanced at her, "The maid in the courtyard can prove that she went to look for Brother Yun after she found him missing. She saw Brother Yun in the river and jumped into the water to rescue him."
"That means she has no chance of committing the crime alone."
Xue Xuening retorted unwillingly, "My brothers and sisters are so protective of this maid, could it be..."
Before she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Xiao, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"What does the elder sister-in-law want to say?"
"Are you saying that I was jealous of the child and deliberately took the child away and threw him into the river to drown him?"
Xie Wanyu laughed after hearing her words, as if she had heard some ridiculous joke.
Seeing her expression, Xue Xuening slowly clenched her hands in her sleeves, "You are jealous that Mrs. Li has a child, but you don't, so you kill her!"
"In this way, the eldest sister-in-law has more motives. After all, you just beat Mrs. Li yesterday. You had a grudge against her, so you attacked the child." Xie Wanyu lazily raised her eyes, glanced at the person opposite, and counterattacked road.
"I didn't!" Xue Xuening stood up excitedly.
She really wanted to take action on a few children, but she didn't expect someone to be one step ahead of her, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Xie Wanyu raised her lips and smiled lightly, "No, no, why is the elder sister-in-law so excited?"
Xue Xuening's face was livid, her chest was rising and falling violently, and she was obviously extremely angry with Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu ignored her and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely find out the murderer."
In fact, she had already vaguely guessed that this matter might have something to do with Xiao Yinshuang.
"Okay, please step back, I'm tired." Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and motioned for them to go out.
