Soon, there came a burst of noise from outside. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao walked in with a piece of clothing and greeted the two with a smile. "Ladies, the guests are almost here. Please change into the clothes and shoes."
Because the two of them held the ceremony at the same time, a large screen with ten percent broken was placed in the room, and it just so happened that the room was split into two halves. After the two of them changed their clothes, they sat down and waited.
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao left. The room was exceptionally quiet.
"Yunyao, do you think I'll make a mistake while bowing later?" The room was empty, making her feel inexplicably nervous.
"Don't worry, I won't." Mu Yunyao smiled as she consoled him. "You remembered the etiquette process earlier, you remembered it better than me. If I forget it when the time comes, you must remember to remind me."
As her voice fell, the other side of the screen didn't reply. Mu Yunyao's smile faded as she got up and walked towards the screen: "Big sister Su You?"
Just as she arrived in front of the screen, a sharp sword pierced through the screen and headed straight for her throat.
Mu Yunyao widened her eyes and tried her best to dodge backwards. Her body unsteadily fell to the ground, following which, blood splashed out in all directions from the screen, a dark red color piercing her eyes!
"Six taels!"
Mu Yunyao lifted her skirt and quickly went around the screen. There were traces of blood on the ground, but Su You was nowhere to be seen.
When she heard Mu Yunyao's shout, she had already chased after her through the open window. Mu Yunyao walked to the window and looked at the bloodstains on the windowsill before moving the chair over and following her.
The trail of blood continued to walk towards the nearby pond. It was open and without any concealment, as if it was trying to lure her there.
Mu Yunyao's brows tightly wrinkled and the expression on her face became more and more terrified. When she arrived at the edge of the pond, she saw a figure floating in the middle of it.
"Su You!" Mu Yunyao's face turned pale. Stepping on the edge of the pond, she wanted to pull him up, but just as she walked to the side, she saw the edge of the rocks loosen up. A bloody dagger landed on the edge of the rocks, and before she could look, she heard an anxious shout from behind her.
"I found it! The young mistress is here!"
"Ah, that. Look, there are people in the pond, there's people in the pond! "
"Hurry up and save him! Hurry and save him!"
The voices of the servants were loud and clear. Before Mu Yunyao could react, they had already quickly pushed her away. They jumped into the pond and scooped up the person floating in the air, "Fifth Miss, Fifth Miss is dead!"
This place was not far from the front yard, and the servants' shouts soon alarmed the guests in the front yard. Very quickly, the guests arrived at the edge of the pond.
Second Wife Qi ran over quickly and scolded the servants, "What are you blabbering about? Are there any rules? I don't know if it's Su You and Yun Yao's turn today, or if you guys can bear the burden of stirring up a banquet? "
"Second Madam, I'm afraid that we won't be able to handle the wedding ceremony. Look over there. "Fifth Miss, Fifth Miss, she …"
Second Madam's gaze followed the crowd's gaze and fell on the yellow-clothed man on the ground.
The maidservant by the side hurriedly supported her, strangling her for a while before Second Madam finally recovered. "Second Madam, please grieve!"
The guests were all stupefied. They had just taken their seats and were just waiting for the wedding ceremony to begin when they heard the servants' shouts. Who would have thought that this joyous event would turn into a funeral …
"You, my poor child …" Second Madam called out and threw herself in front of Su You, who was on the ground, crying and trembling.
The first wife rushed over with the madame and tears fell from her eyes upon seeing the situation. "What happened? Wasn't the feast just now waiting for?" Why did your blessings disappear just like that? "
The old mistress' body swayed, and her sickly expression turned older. "What's wrong?" He was just a child, how could he be gone? Shouldn't you be waiting in the east wing? Why did it appear here, and why did it fall into the pond? "
The servants answered one after another:
"Reporting to the madame, the servants ran over after hearing the sound of falling water. As soon as they came over, they saw that the Fifth Miss had fallen into the pond. Moreover, the Fifth Miss had a wound on her back and her clothes were dyed red."
"Your servant saw traces of blood on the ground. I've been walking from the back window of the east wing to the edge of the pond."
"When this servant arrived, Miss Biao was already standing here. It seems like she wanted to go down and save the servant."
"..."
"Yunyao?" The old lady looked at Mu Yunyao with an anxious and sorrowful expression, "Right, you should have been in the east wing with Su You just now. You should have known best what had happened. Quickly tell me, what exactly happened?" Mu Yunyao's face paled, she bit her lips and shook her head, "I'm not too sure either. Big Sister Su You and I changed into our clothes and took our shoes, then waited on both sides of the screen. One moment Big Sister Su You was still talking to me, the next moment there was no sound. I was lucky enough to avoid falling to the ground, but then I saw that big sister Su You was no longer there on the other side of the screen. I saw that the window was open and there were bloodstains along the way.
"He fell into the pond..."
"What did you say?" You mean, someone took advantage of their age to publicly assassinate Su You in the Su Family? " The old mistress exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief. Second Madam stopped crying and raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao darkly. "Su You's health is not good, you have been recuperating in the Palace, and very few people know about it. Who would suddenly try to assassinate her? Why was Suyou assassinated and you safe and sound? You see something wrong, why don't you shout out loud
If you come to help and chase after them, do you think you can subdue the criminals? Mu Yunyao, don't you think that your words are full of mistakes? "
"Second aunt, elder sister Su You and I have always been close. You should know that I have no reason to harm her." The First Wife coldly spoke up from the side, "Although you said it like that, no one knows if there's anything else. Yunyao, according to what you said, someone must have deliberately kidnapped Su You and then pushed him into the pond to kill him. Furthermore, Su You's back was injured, so blood was left all the way from the east wing to the pool.
"Tong, if someone kidnapped her, she would definitely be covered in some blood stains. We should immediately go and find them and see if there are any traces of blood nearby. Then, we should close the doors and search the entire mansion to see if there is anything abnormal with it."
"Yes sir!"
Very soon, all the servants who had been searching returned. "Reporting to the madame, the lady. Other than here, there's nothing wrong with the front yard. Someone has already gone to check the back yard."
The first wife frowned, "Yunyao, there's nothing abnormal in the front yard, then things will be weird. Who harmed your son?" Second Madam hugged Su You's corpse, her tone was as cold as ice: "Eldest sister-in-law, isn't it obvious? It's Mu Yunyao, it's Mu Yunyao who killed my blessed son, it's her! She is the murderer! "
