She had always followed my mother, so naturally, they shared a very good relationship.
“After my mother passed away, she came here and guarded the spirit tablet for twenty years.”
“Ah? So that’s how it was.” Su Yan suddenly realized.
When watching TV and reading novels, she had also seen depictions of deep bonds between masters and servants.
Sometimes, their relationship was so profound that they would disregard their own life and death.
She guessed that was the kind of relationship her mother-in-law and Aunt Lan had shared.
...
“If you’re done asking questions, leave now; I need to rest.”
After answering, Chu Yuxiao unceremoniously issued an eviction order.
Su Yan pouted, as if she were really keen on lingering there.
Being in the same room with him, she was the one who felt most uncomfortable.
“Then, I shall take my leave.”
Su Yan stood up and spoke indifferently, walking out without stopping.
When she reached the door of Aunt Lan’s room, she heard coughing from inside, paused to look for a moment, then went to her own room.
That night, Su Yan didn’t fall asleep until it was nearly midnight.
Because Aunt Lan kept coughing, and the walls in ancient times didn’t insulate sound very well, she could constantly hear her intermittent coughs.
The next morning, just after getting up, Jin Lan, who loved gossip, entered the room and said:
“Princess, someone died last night again.”
Su Yan looked shocked, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
“How did someone die again?”
Hadn’t Chu Yuxiao sent someone to restrain the murderer?
Or, did he simply not know where the murderer was?
“This morning before dawn, the government sent someone to notify the Marquis, saying that last night, just before midnight, the Yan family’s girl who worked in the forge was murdered.”
Su Yan abruptly stood up, saying solemnly:
“Prepare my makeup; I need to find the Marquis!”
“Princess, the Marquis is not in the ancestral hall right now.” Jin Hua said.
“Where did he go?”
“After the Marquis heard about this incident, he rode down the mountain to the government. He probably won’t be back until noon.”
Su Yan clenched her fists tightly, feeling her blood boiling.
She so desperately wanted to catch the murderer herself, to tear them apart!
However, before dealing with the murderer, she had to confront Chu Yuxiao first!
It was all his fault. If only he had disclosed who the murderer was, would another girl have had to be sacrificed last night?!
