One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The piercing power of this scream was extremely strong, causing a large portion of the Shen Mansion to be in an uproar.

Mrs Zhao, who had obtained the upper hand yesterday, was originally in a very good mood and slept soundly, but was immediately woken up by this scream. She frowned as she looked at the servant girl beside her and asked unhappily: What's going on, are there no rules in these servants? How does the Second Madam manage to be the steward? "

The maid Wen Qiu did not dare to retort and only knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

If Wen Qiu hadn't served her the most meticulously, she would have sold her long ago. Thinking about the Qin mama who was kicked out, Madame Zhao's face darkened. If Qin mama had been around yesterday, none of the four maidservants would have survived.

Just as he was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?"

"Madam, it's a servant." A green clothed servant girl ran in, "Mistress, it's bad. Yesterday, all of the guards that were in charge of scolding the Eldest Miss's maidservants … "All …"

Mrs Zhao's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong with all of them, tell me quickly?"

"All dead." After the maid finished speaking with a pale face, she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Mrs Zhao felt a cold feeling rising from her back and slowly crawled across her body. A layer of cold sweat appeared on her body. She tried to stand up but failed and sat back on the bed.

"Madam, what happened to you?"

Mrs Zhao took a deep breath and strove to calm her emotions, "They're all dead... "How did he die?"

The green-clothed maid was so frightened that her entire body started to tremble, "The bones in her entire body were broken by someone using a stick … When Housekeeper Wang went to check, the man was like mud on the ground. "

"Ugh!" Thinking of that scene, Mrs Zhao clutched her chest and vomited, "Shen Ninghua, it must have been Shen Ninghua who did it! Yesterday, those people beat up her servants, and today, something happened. This is her warning, this is definitely her warning to me. Slut, this little slut! It's not enough for her to harm Ling Han, and also want to kill me and the child in my stomach. I can't let her succeed, I definitely can't let her succeed. "Ah, my stomach."

A wave of nervousness constricted her abdomen, and a moment later, the prick started to hurt. Mrs Zhao held onto the bedside handle: "Wen Qiu, go get a doctor and invite the old master. Go quickly, quickly!"

"Yes, Madam. This servant will go now."

And these guards in front of him, made him even more angry from the bottom of his heart. His guards had their bones broken by someone, this was a blatant provocation towards him.

"Investigate! Investigate ferociously! I don't believe we can't find any clues!"

Wang Fu carefully reported, "Master, no one heard anything at night. The guards are still in their different rooms, and the rest of the people in the rooms are still sleeping soundly. Nothing was left behind at the scene. We really can't find anything."

Shen Dong's body was emitting cold air, which seemed to be able to freeze people up: "Are there any traces of knockout drugs in the room?"

"I thought you used knockout drugs in the room, but …" "Nothing, it's clean."

Shen Dong slammed his hand on the table and coldly said: "Don't tell me it's made by a ghost?"

Wang Fu was trembling as he knelt on the ground, not knowing how to respond.

Shen Ninghua walked in alone. "Greetings, father."

Shen Dong frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Ninghua raised her head, her pretty face slightly pale. "Yesterday, I was watching the injuries of the several maids and slept a little late, so I heard that the few guards in charge of the staff died yesterday, causing my heart to be unable to calm down. Yesterday, they just beat up my maidservants and today, they died. However, the Martial Arts Practitioner and Hong Ling beside me are currently lying on the bed and unable to move. Whether they can survive is still a question. How would I have the ability to understand Father's bodyguards? "

Shen Dong knitted his brows. When he first heard this news, he immediately thought of Shen Ninghua and immediately rejected this idea. Just like she just said, Shen Ninghua didn't have that ability. Then who had the ability to make a move on the Shen family?

Xue Zhu supported Lady Xiao, who had not appeared for a long time, out. When Shen Dong saw his mother, he quickly went up to her and supported her arm: "Mother, why did you come out?"

His eyes were a lot more cloudy than before, but when he heard Shen Dong's question, he suddenly shook off his hand: "If I didn't come out now, the Shen family would have been scattered by you guys!"

Shen Dong's face congealed: "Mother, what are you saying?"

"Hmph." The Xiao family's old patriarch coldly snorted as he coldly swept his gaze over Wang Fu. "Call the Zhao family over. With so many things happening in their family, is her boss wife dead?"

Shen Dong's face looked a little troubled for a moment, "Mother, the Zhao Family is pregnant now …."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly turned her head to look at him. "When I was pregnant with you, I still had to establish the rules in front of my mother-in-law. Is your wife special? "

Shen Dong quickly shook his head, "Mother, it's a misunderstanding. Mrs Zhao's fetus has been unstable for the past two days, and her face is also very unsightly. I'm afraid that you might be upset after seeing it."

The Xiao family's people smirked. "Wang Fu, why aren't you going!"

"Yes, yes, madame, your servant will go now." Seeing that Shen Dong could not force the Xiao family, Wang Fu quickly ran out.

Mrs Zhao did not receive a doctor, but brought Wang Fu and the others here first. Mrs Zhao's heart turned cold, "Housekeeper Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Fu bowed, "Madam, the Old Master and the madame would like to invite you over."

Mrs Zhao patted her belly and forced herself to smile. "My stomach is feeling very uncomfortable. I sent for someone to call a doctor, but the doctor still hasn't come. I wonder what business the madame and the old master have with me?"

"This... This old servant is also not clear, probably because of what happened at home today. " Although Mrs Zhao seemed to be out of favour, she was still pregnant with Shen Dong's child, and was not someone he could offend as a housekeeper.

However, she was pregnant with her own child. With the protection of the old master, no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to act against her. Since this was the case, she would let the old master thoroughly investigate this matter.

As he thought about this, the panic in his heart disappeared. A smile appeared on his face, and even his stomach did not hurt anymore. "Let's go, I'll go take a look too."

Although she had already made up her mind, upon arriving at the front courtyard and meeting Shen Ninghua's calm eyes, Mrs Zhao's heart still couldn't help but tighten. Why was she here so early?

"Greetings, mother, and master."

As Lady Xiao watched her slowly walk over, the unhappiness in her heart became more and more severe. "Mrs Zhao, it's really not easy to invite you here. I think I'll need to personally invite you next time."

Mrs Zhao suddenly looked at Shen Dong, then quickly knelt down: "Mother misunderstood, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable since morning, so I was a bit late on the way here, please punish me."

"Punishment?" You are now the treasure of the Shen family, and you still have a child in your womb. If I were to punish you, wouldn't that be harsh on my Shen family's bloodline?

"Mother misunderstood. My daughter-in-law didn't mean it that way."

Mrs Xiao let out a cold snort: "Get up, Snow Bamboo. Move a seat for her so that she won't be able to sit down later."

Mrs Zhao sat down and immediately opened her mouth: "Old Master, this matter happened too fast. Yesterday, I saw those guards who were still alive and well, and they actually killed them in one night. Is this some sort of revenge?"

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and said, "What mother said is also possible. They are father's guards, and normally do not leave the mansion other than protecting father's safety. The only possibility is that they have a feud with the people outside."

Hearing this, Shen Dong raised his head abruptly, the cold light in his eyes suddenly froze. What Ning Hua said was very possible, it had been a period of turmoil in the country recently, and the Zhao Family was also under great pressure, but which side … …

Shen Ninghua noticed Shen Dong's expression, and her gaze turned a little darker as a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Speaking of which, if there's a grudge between me and these people, the first one to suspect it should be me. They just hit my people yesterday and got beaten to death today, so anyone would suspect me."

Mrs Zhao smirked: "Who can say for sure? Who was it that did this? Who was it that knew clearly, Ning Hua, you don't have to be in a hurry to refute it, if it wasn't for you, Master would not have blamed you, it's just that the maids around you are very skilled, it's just that they should be able to arouse suspicion. "

Shen Ninghua looked at her and said, "Mother, although the maidservants by my side know some martial arts, they were all women who were injured yesterday. Those eight guards are all experts, and it's not easy for those who aren't trained by large families to kill them without any reaction. Mother, please don't praise my maidservants."

Mrs Zhao raised her head to look at Shen Dong, only to find that his expression had sunk. He was looking at her in shock and bewilderment, but she was not sure in her heart, "Master, what's wrong?"

Shen Dong ignored her and looked towards the Xiao family, "Mother, I'm afraid this matter is caused by the court, it's better to keep it a secret for the time being. I will investigate as soon as possible, so mother does not need to worry."

"The court? I think this dynasty has quite a lot of power, they obviously can't force you, so they secretly used underhanded methods. Shen Dong, you are the prime minister right now, but there are still people who don't place you in their eyes. "

At the door, a maidservant suddenly ran in in panic, "The madame, the master, and the first lady, the second young miss caused trouble again in the Qinxue residence, and she even injured the maidservant who brought her food and ran out."

Shen Dong's thick eyebrows creased: "Where's Second Miss now?"

The young maid shuddered, "This servant didn't manage to find anyone when I went out to chase them."

"Trash, what use is there if even the young miss can't take care of you?" Shen Dong loudly shouted, "Why are you still not looking for me?"

At the door, a green pearl curtain was opened from both sides, and a dignified woman wearing an emerald green jewel entered with a dozen people, "There's no need to look for me, my Zhao Family's granddaughter doesn't dare to work for Prime Minister Shen. My Zhao Family can take care of her!"
