"That's not true. It was Niu Dagui who said he found her. She is his wife, so she won't be talking nonsense."
Yao Shu suddenly understood that Fu Xiujin suspected Niu Dagui.
Liu Yu and Chen Suqing are similar in height and shape. If Niu Dagui lied, it would be very suspicious for him to lie to others about returning to his hometown with his wife.
"Do Niu Dagui and Chen Suqing have any private dealings?"
Yao Shu immediately turned around and asked everyone present, but everyone shook their heads and said that the two of them had basically never interacted with each other and usually just ate and chatted with others in the cafeteria.
"I once saw Sister Zhuer quarreling with Uncle Niu, and it was so fierce. Later, Sister Suqing came out and took Sister Zhuer away." After Xiao Shitou finished speaking, he picked up the rice, not knowing what he said. The words had a different effect on the case.
Fu Xiujin immediately decided to let Fan Zhongliang stay and continue to inquire about Niu Dagui and Liu Yu, while he took Yao Shu and Zhao Shaobai to visit the Chen Mansion again.
Master Chen was shocked when he heard the reason for the visit, and immediately asked the housekeeper to call Zhuer over.
Zhu'er knelt on the ground and hesitated for a long time, unwilling to say anything more. She was so angry that Mr. Chen kicked her, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood immediately. Yao Shu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Sheng Sheng from causing trouble.
"Zhu'er, you entered the house at a young age, and Qing'er treats you like a sister, but you know the truth and yet you refuse to tell me, you wolf-hearted, white-eyed wolf!"
Mr. Chen was scolding and wanted to hit Pearl, but Zhao Shaobai held on tightly to prevent him from hitting her. Pearl held her chest and cried silently, and kept shouting that she had not done anything sorry for the young lady.
"Zhu'er, we now suspect that Chen Suqing is still alive. If you really haven't done anything sorry to her, you have to tell her."
Hearing this, Zhu'er looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with disbelief. She got up and grabbed Yao Shu's clothes, her whole body trembling.
"Is it true? Is the lady really alive?"
Yao Shu didn't know how to answer. She wasn't 100% sure. This was just their guess, but the expectant look in Zhu'er's eyes actually made her unable to bear to tell the truth.
In the end, it was Fu Xiujin who spoke. His tone was always calm, as if nothing in the world could shake his emotions, "She is probably still alive. If you want to help her, explain clearly the quarrel with Niu Dagui."
Zhu'er fell to the ground, glanced at Mr. Chen, then turned to look at Yao Shu and the others, and finally confessed as if she was resigned to her fate.
"Niu Dagui had a bad idea for the young lady. Once it rained heavily, and the young lady went to the shantang to change her clothes when they got wet. I went to pour her ginger tea, and when I came back, I found Niu Dagui peeping outside to watch the young lady changing her clothes. Look...while doing some obscene things. I yelled at him and ran away in a panic when he picked up his pants. After the lady found out, she cried for a long time, so I went to Niu Dagui to argue, but the lady was afraid that things would cause trouble and persuaded me to leave. When I left, I told Niu Dagui that if he dared to speak out or did anything else that went beyond his limits, he would get out."
Pearl said while looking at Master Chen's face, and sure enough, Master Chen was so angry that he punched his chest.
"After that incident, Niu Dagui restrained himself and never appeared in front of the lady again. Even if he met him, he would immediately nod and bow and leave, so we just pretended that it was over. I didn't want to say it because I was afraid of tarnishing the lady's reputation. I can’t be sorry, miss.”
