When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan followed the butler to the long corridor they had passed before, they saw a woman in red walking towards them.
Yun Shang felt that the lady looked familiar, but she didn't remember who she was. When she was thinking, the lady said softly, "Shang'er." Then she turned her eyes to Luo Qingyan, who was standing beside Yun Shang. Stunned, she curtsied to him and said, "Your Highness."
Hearing her voice, Yun Shang stopped. It suddenly dawned on her that there was only one woman in red in this mansion today. She was the bride of the seventh prince, Hua Yutong.
Seeing the butler also looked at Hua Yutong in bewilderment, Yun Shang quickly walked to her, held her hand and said, "Yutong, why do you come out?"
Hua Yutong smiled. Although she had not taken off her make-up, she looked a little pale, and even her body was a little trembling. She said, "I heard servants talking about the concubine Liu Chuchu while I was resting in the bridal chamber. I didn't meet her before, but I think it's a kind of fate that we could marry into the mansion on the same day." He glanced at Yun Shang again and hesitated. "Shang'er, are you also going there? You're pregnant now, so I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you smell the blood. Besides, there's a lot of blood in the yard, it looked like a hell even her corpse is not there."
Yun Shang finished listening to the first part of her words with a smile. But she suddenly frowned at the last part, "Her corpse is not there? Why?"
Stunned for a while, Hua Yutong said, "There's no corpse in the yard. Just now, the official of Ministry of Justice was also confused. He was wondering why the butler was so sure that Liu Chuchu and the servants in the her yard were killed? "
Yun Shang and the butler both frowned. Although Yun Shang didn't enter the yard in person, the secret guard had clearly reported the situation in the yard.
"That's not right. I had gone to the yard. There were many dead bodies on the ground. I just cast a glance at the gate and didn't dare to step forward. How come... How come they were suddenly gone?" Said the butler hurriedly.
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang again and said in a low voice, "Let's go and have a look at Liu Chuchu's yard."
Yun Shang hurried to catch up with him. Seeing that, Hua Yutong hesitated for a moment before following up. She walked to Yun Shang, held her arm and whispered, "Shang'er, is the seventh prince alright?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang remembered that the seventh prince had fainted on the day of their wedding. No matter whether Hua Yutong was on behalf of Lord Hua Guo, she was just an ordinary woman, who look forward a happy marriage. The seventh prince was her husband now, and she was very worried about him. However, she hadn't officially been his wife since the marriage ritual was not completed, so she dared not to ask anyone in the mansion...
Yun
d stepped into the room. The inside was not the same as she had imagined. She had thought that all the things in the room should be red at the first sight, but when she entered, she found that all the things in the room were new. There was a slight smell of paint, mixed with the aroma of pine, which was a little pungent. However, there was no red candle or bright red wedding sheet on the bed, only the words "wedding" written on the boxes that were just put in.
The butler noticed that Yun Shang was looking at the boxes, so he quickly said, "These are the boxes brought by the new concubine."
Yun Shang opened the four suitcases. Two were filled with clothes. One was full of books, and another contained things for daily use.
Yun Shang searched the cases casually and closed them.
It was merely Liu Chuchu's first day in the mansion. There was nothing else in the room, and it was also very clean.
Yun Shang ran her eyes over the room from one end to another. Perhaps it was because the scent in the room was not so good, she just had a quick look at it and hurried out of the door.
When Yun Shang went out of the room, Luo Qingyan followed her, so did other people.
Yun Shang took a short break and turned to Li Qianmo. "What do you want us to do?"
Hearing this, Li Qianmo glanced at the butler behind her and said: "I checked around the yard but didn't find any clue. There is really no clue. I heard that Prince Rui and Lady Rui were here, and I thought that you might have some opinions. Thus, I took the liberty to ask the butler to bring you here."
Seeing Li Qianmo's face, Yun Shang knew that he must have something to say. But in consideration of the butler's presence, he didn't say it. Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "I'm not feeling well. I feel a little uncomfortable as soon as I enter this yard. There is nothing to talk about."
Li Qianmo thought for a while and then nodded, "It's my fault."
