The few elders that followed them out was still at the center of the lake. They said that Shao Xi had brought out a woman and a servant who were capable of controlling water, and that Shao Xi and that woman's corpse had already been found, but who knew that Maid was also missing.

The faces of the girls had long turned ashen from fright. Those who were timid couldn't help but cry as they leaned on the maidservants.

However, Lin Hui pulled Lin Shu and walked to the side, "Sister Shu, do you really think that this is very strange?" It was only when she realized it later that she realized it.

Lin Shu nodded her head, and said: "It's indeed very strange, if we can successfully find that Maid now, maybe we will be able to investigate this matter thoroughly, if not, it will really become a headless case."

Shao Xi was the one who suggested the cruise ship to pluck the lotus seed shell.

Lin Hui was a little afraid, she had lived for so long yet it was the first time someone beside her had died, "Speaking of which, this Shao Xi is also rather pitiful, she disappeared without a trace at such a young age, I wonder how sad her aunt will be after hearing this news …"

While the two of them were chatting, several ladies rushed over.

When the Duke Chengan heard this, he fainted. He was the one who brought the person out, and now that there was a loophole in her hand, wouldn't the Duke Chengan find her and settle the score? After marrying into the Duke Chengan Palace for a few years, she relied on her newborn son to gain a foothold. What should he do now!

Amongst them, the Grandma Zhangda was the calmest, the one who raised his voice and ordered the wives to pinch the Duke Chengan's wife was even more so, a bunch of orders: "All of you are muddleheaded. With all of you here, what if we don't bring the girls into the courtyard? Can you guys handle it? "

Since Zhang Yuanqing's wedding day was nearing, naturally he did not follow her out, but after the Grandma Zhangda was quiet for a while, he began to wander around.

Even if his life was worse than that, he had to continue living it!

Then, a woman in charge brought seven or eight young girls into the courtyard. The young girls sat together and looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

In the end, it was Lu Suiyu who choked and said, "... It's all my fault, it's all my fault, and I clearly saw Big Sister Shao Xi just now. Originally, I saw that no one wanted to ask her to go pick the lotus seed seed, but she said that it was a good bet, and she said that they had agreed to go pick the lotus seed separately, and see who picked the most. If the two of them were to be together, then there would be no meaning to it, and although I was a little afraid, I can see that Big Sister Shao Xi was so determined to get the lotus seed, so I couldn't say anything.

After saying that, she couldn't help but cry while clutching her handkerchief.

When she cried, many people began to sob as well. All of the girls present had similar backgrounds and had grown up together with Shao Xi.

Especially Lin Lian, who cried the most. It was unknown if it was because of Shao Xi, or if it was because she was a little further away from Shao Shengping.

Lin Shu remained silent as she muttered to himself.

Duke Chengan's sobbing voice came out from the room beside them, "... Sister Xi'er, Sister Xi'er! " She was crying out of breath, but the sorrowful expression on the little girl's face deepened.

Although she was his successor, and wasn't much older than Shao Xi, in addition, to the fact that Shao Xi was a person who spoke well and supported her everyday, she also had some feelings for him … However, even though he was truly emotional, he was more afraid than sad.

Even if Shao Xi was raised under the name of the first wife of the Duke Chengan, her aunt was not someone who was easy to talk to.

Lin Shu took the chance to take a peek inside the house, seeing that the Duke Chengan Mistress was crying until he was out of breath, he thought for a moment, but still ordered Yun Dou who was beside her: Go to the lake and see what's wrong.

Finally, she asked, "Are you afraid?" After all, two people had just drowned in the lake.

Cloudbean shook her head and whispered, "What's there to be afraid of? "When I was young, I was not even sold into the mansion. At that time, I would often go to the market to sell oranges by myself."

As soon as she said that, she ran away.

was standing in the courtyard thinking about what mistake she had made, when she heard footsteps coming from not too far away. She turned her head to look, who else could it be other than Shao Shengping?

Shao Shengping was still as handsome as before, with straight eyebrows and a dignified appearance. It was no wonder that so many girls from the capital sought after her.

When Shao Shengping walked into the courtyard, he saw Lin Shu, and his footsteps were hesitating.

He didn't know that the situation was very urgent. Duke Chengan's Madam and the few ladies were stationed in the same area, and since he was already this old, he shouldn't have had any contact with his stepmother. However, this matter was too urgent …

Upon seeing him, Lin Shu turned and headed back to the house.

She could not hate Shao Xi, but she could not forgive Shao Shengping … Hatred often lasted even longer than love did. Back then, she had loved him and hated him from the three years she was under house arrest. Now, her love for Shao Shengping had already been wiped clean, but the hatred had only grown stronger.

But who knew that Shao Shengping would actually call out to her, "Fourth Miss, please wait!"

Lin Shu pretended not to hear it. Now that she didn't have the ability to take Shao Shengping's life, she couldn't help but look at Shao Shengping in the eye because she felt disgusted.

Shao Shengping was born taller than her, and his footsteps were bigger than hers. In a few steps, he had caught up to her and blocked her in front, "Fourth Miss, please wait."

"Is there something wrong with the County Prince?" Lin Shu subconsciously took a step back, her attitude extremely indifferent.

Shao Shengping looked at her deeply, "I called out to Fourth Miss just now. Fourth Miss must have heard it right … Why, is Fourth Miss hiding from me? "

Lin Shu was wondering how Yue Yang knew about him. Even if they had met a few years ago at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, at that time, they were merely glimpses of each other. In her last life, she was hounding herself to death, but in this life, when she saw Shao Shengping, she turned and ran away, extremely vexed, "County Prince is joking, I was just thinking of the different seats for males and females at seven years old, and now you and I are both grown up, it would not be good if you could stand in the courtyard and speak like this and be looked at!"

"Fourth Miss is truly thoughtful!" Shao Shengping looked at Lin Shu who was only half a head shorter than him, and felt that Lin Shu's body was a little tough. Think about it, if this person did not have tenacity, she would have been eaten by the First Princess Pingning! Back then when I kneeled down with my Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, Lin Shu's name had already spread throughout the entire capital, "It's precisely because it's a male and female defense that I took the liberty to request Fourth Miss's help."

Pausing for a moment, he then continued: "I still need Fourth Miss to help me get in and send a message to my mother, tell her that the little girl beside Shao Xi has been found, but she is already dead."

He didn't look very sad at all. He was the same as his birth mother, although he doted on Shao Xi normally, he was like a cat and dog in love. After feeling sad for a while, he thought about what he should do next.

At this point, Lin Shu felt that it was not good to refuse, and nodded her head before entering.

Duke Chengan's wife, who was by his side, had already stopped her tears, but when Lin Shu finished speaking, her tears once again started dripping down, "Who in the world is so vicious? Who was it that wanted to harm Sister Xi'er? "She's not even your age yet. How could someone do such a vicious thing to her?"

This Duke Chengan lady was indeed not a person to be trifled with. She was only concerned with her tears now, in her previous life, Lin Shu had long understood her weakness and did not hold much hope for her.

Lin Shu only advised lightly from the side, "Don't be sad, if Sister Xi'er knew that you were so upset, she would feel bad too … The first thing to do is to think about how to take care of Sister Xi'er's back affairs and find out who the culprit is. "

She had said enough.

Even Lin Shu could not help but exclaim, the Ye family really doted on this grandson of theirs, choosing to send a puppet over to their side for their daughter to be given away, it truly only served as a decoration.

Not long after, the Huaiyin walked in with a sorrowful expression. She had always been a Buddha, and now that she was the one at the helm, she naturally felt uncomfortable. "Don't be sad Madam Duke Chengan, this matter has already been reported to the authorities. I have already discussed it with Grandmaster Dao Cheng earlier. He will offer up a lamp to the great lady, and I will invite the great monk Dao to cross these forty-nine days for her. "

The Duke Chengan's wife sobs, "... Thank you, Grand Madam. "

The Grand Madam s of the Huaiyin Palace gently held her hand, "Speaking of which, it was also because of me. If it wasn't for me inviting all of you here to burn some incense, this wouldn't have happened."

"What does that have to do with you?" "It's all because of that vicious person …" "I hope that the authorities will be able to find that villain as soon as possible and give Sister Xi a fair fight."

Huaiyin let out a long sigh, "I'll pay my respects to Duke Chengan again another day and personally apologize to Duke Chengan." She was a servant, and logically, he should not have had any contact with the Duke Chengan, but unfortunately, his son was too young, so she could only shoulder all of this.

Lin Shu felt that it would be inconvenient for him to be present. After bidding farewell to the Duke Chengan's wife and the Huaiyin's Palace Grand Madam, she went out.

But who knew that Shao Shengping would still be standing with his hands behind his back, waiting for her to come out. Seeing her come out, he walked up to her and asked, "Fourth Miss, how is my mother?"

Lin Shu almost wanted to roll her eyes at him. In her previous life, it had been five years since a husband and wife, and she already knew who Shao Shengping was. Heh, it's just a joke.

In her previous life, after she was put under house arrest, the Duke Chengan didn't even dare to speak up for her, and just allowed Shao Shengping and Lin Lian Duke Chengan's palace to become chaotic. At that time, the Duke Chengan who had already become the Grand Madam only said one sentence incorrectly when she was visiting and started to "recuperate in bed".

But now, no matter how much she felt disdain in her heart, she still continued to speak softly, "Duke Chengan Madam is fine. Although she has been crying the entire time, she seems to be in good spirits! I ask for County Prince's condolences! "
